It's so refreshing to see an effeminate man with his own plot relevance and motivations and personality, who isn't a tasteless caricature or the butt of every joke in his scenes.

Meanwhile, for Iori, Kiri is a girl who Samura probably helped raise for longer than her ever raised Iori, and that's basically like a slap to her face.

Then there's Shiba: you have experienced both the most humiliating defeat and the most horrifying massacre in your life, and that you have been denied your comrades' fate is only a warning, not a mercy. You now lie helpless and unmoving at your enemy's feet and they name your childhood friend as wergild for a thousand year old feud - and this is a message that you are expected to relay. Your mouth is supposed to repeat these words, supposed to state that the decrepit king wants to keep her as a brooding mare. A fate worse than hell, a death that will keep on taking from her. And you are the mouthpiece to it. How do you deal with that, how do you live with it?

I wonder what happened to the horse after Yuru left the village - I hope she's thoroughly enjoying her life back on the mountains.
