The change in Polka’s behavior, and the development in his character shows what really captures one’s attention. The episode concluded in a way that left the viewers feeling mixed emotions as some parts seemed rushed and others satisfactory.
Polka expresses his personal issues through a physical confrontation and he decides to give enough for the people he loves. His character develops over his journey of selflessness as he realizes people are with him. This choice is a cornerstone in this process. He has hidden himself for the past hundreds of years but when he comes out, it is because Misaki and Takumi are there with him. Their presence gives him strength to come forward for what he wants.
The Emperor’s advice of ‘living life’ to the fullest, inspires Polka to face his past and move forward with a new perspective. Through embracing the potential in the future, and keeping herself guilty, Ploka takes a significant step on his journey for redemption.
Dead Mount Death Play episode 24 spoilers: How did Polka defeat Civil?
At last, the Polka and Civil conflict ends in the episode; however, it seems a bit sudden. A lack of explanation regarding Civil’s reasons after losing the game leads to a gap in the storyline. His character development is in doubt as his intentions about whether to find a place in the fantasy world cannot be realized.
The episode includes many components, and this is the only drawback of this episode. Several scenes give a hasty impact, including Soara and tiger, Baao and Majiriâs combination introduction. This is served alongside Lemmings abrupt entry, and Polka’s clandestine deal with Phantom Solitaire. There is not enough space for development of the character’s story, indicating that we need another episode for them to be able to do so.
The episode has a hurried style but it provides an update for characters in the storyline. It also ends with a cheerful note. There are still threats remaining that adds another level of interest to the (potential) future storyline. The anime depicts a rollercoaster of emotions. This style of storytelling ensures to keep its viewers hooked neatly, prompting them to wish for more characters.
