In the latest episode of The Legendary Hero is Dead!, Touka is transported to a dream world by a supernatural event, a common trope in anime stories. The peaceful aura of this alternate world tempts Touka, but he finds the courage to escape, preferring the dangerous reality over a soothing illusion.
The heart of the episode lies in Touka's journey through his personal history. A large part of the story deals with the relationship between Touka and Yuna, which has so far been perceived as aggressive and devoid of mutual respect. Despite a valiant attempt to cast their relationship in a more positive light, the change seems hard to accept given their past full of unpleasant conflicts.
The episode delves into Touka's backstory, revealing a life marked by hardship. He endured the brutality of his father and the pain of losing his mother during a war. Alone and wounded, he was on the verge of despair until a letter from Yuna encouraged him to persevere.
However, the episode struggles to weave a convincing romantic thread between Touka and Yuna. Setting aside their troubled past, their relationship lacks warmth, depth, and believable dynamics. The plot emphasizes Touka's protective side and his genuine concern for Yuna.
