Another beautiful episode. I really like that they expanded this part of the story with Zhoushan Xuan and Zongquan Ba with Ryo in relation to the Wude JIE. Ryo is slowly learning a lot of things, character development for Zongquan Ba and character development for Ryo in this episode as well.
An episode to be good always need to have a big story progression? i really don't agree with that, to me sometimes a episode to be good just need to have good interactions between the characters, giving more depth to the characters, character development and things like that while advacing the plot even if it is in a slow way, and this episode did this things.
The episode was not just about the Wude JIE in my opinion. In this episode we got the introduction of Fangmei, Hanhui Liu helping Ryo, small flashback of Xiuying with Ziming, Ren searching for Ryo, Ren really want to meet Ryo, the fights with Yellow Heads, more scenes with Joy, this way Joy is getting more closer to Ryo, the anime team is expading Joy and this is really nice. The conversations of Ryo with Xiuying really nice as well. Character development for Zongquan Ba and Ryo.
As far as i remember EP 6 did the same thing, an episode dedicated to the Wude GON while other things happened as well, i really like the pacing in the previous episode and in this episode as well.
It is interesting that the anime dedicated an episode for the Wude JIE and these characters, giving more emotion to the situation, maybe in the next episode Ryo will learn DAN and YI, or maybe it will be a Wude for episode, i don't know, i like when Ryo learn a Wude the kanji for the Wude appear, it is a nice detail, i just wished that the same thing happened when Ryo learn a move in the anime.
Really looks like Xiuying will only change her mind about helping Ryo when Ryo learn all the 4 Wude, the pacing about this is really good, Xiuying is amazing just like in the game, one of my favorite characters of all time.
In the ending Xiuying saying that Ryo can stay in her room, meaning that Xiuying is slowly changing her mind, Xiuying even remembered about Ziming after meeting Ryo, the story progressed with this things as well, Xiuying is slowly changing her mind, i enjoy the pacing.
Probably in the next episode we will see more flashbacks with Xiuying and Ziming, maybe we will even see Xiuying crying, maybe the next episode will be emotional.
Shenhua in the ending, a short scene but it was nice, looks like Shenhua senses that something big is going to happen, i really think the last episode will end in the cave scene in a similar way that we saw in the first episode.
EP 6 and EP 7 had more of a slow pace, each dedicated to a Wude while other things happened and i really enjoy that. I think near the ending maybe in episode 10 the pace will be fast again.
I have a feeling that i will enjoy the anime even more when i can watch all the episodes, the Shenmue franchise is alive and i'm so happy about that, LetsGetShenmueIV
