What Happened in Episode 21
Episode 21, titled “Zashiki-Warashi and Higashi Village,” picked up right after the brutal cliffhanger from Episode 20. In the previous episode, the battle between Ivan and Yuru’s daemons left Left critically injured after being stabbed by a poisoned blade.
The situation became more dangerous in Episode 21. Ivan proved to be far more threatening than expected. He cut off Left’s arm and stunned Dera during the fight. As Dera and Yuru rushed to find the assassin, Dera pointed out that capturing Ivan alive might not even be possible.
The fight that followed became one of the most memorable battles of the series so far. The biggest shock came when Ivan seemed to confess to killing Yuru and Asa’s parents. This revelation completely changes how viewers understand Yuru’s mission and Ivan’s true motives.
What to Expect in Episode 22
Episode 22 will likely continue the fallout from Ivan’s confession. With Yuru and Asa closer than ever, the twins must now face the truth about their parents’ deaths. Ivan’s true motives remain unclear, but his confession adds a personal layer to the conflict.
The series has confirmed a total of 24 episodes, based on the DVD and Blu-ray listing on the official Japanese website. This means Episode 22 puts the story just two installments away from its conclusion. The final episodes are expected to wrap up the story on Saturday, September 19, 2026.
The anime adaptation is produced by Bones Film, the same studio behind Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Director Masahiro Ando, known for Sword of the Stranger, leads the production. The opening theme “Tobu Toki (When You Fly)” is performed by Vaundy, and the closing theme “Tobo yo (Let’s Fly)” is by yama.
