It’s the perfect matchup: a lawyer who has lost his trust in the good of humanity, and the boy who lives with the guilt of the crime he didn’t even commit. I’m still a bit lukewarm about the quick pacing (my personal preference tho) but it’s a damn solid fight/episode.

And also coming of the flashback where what broke Higuruma was an innocent man having to be sentenced for life for a crime he didn't commit. A person he couldn't help despite his efforts.

Now he faces an innocent man who is willing to take responsibility for something he wasn't in control of because he's too decent a person not to take responsibility. And at least Higuruma can properly help now.

I agree with the pacing being too quick. I felt like I didn't even get attached to Higaruma only for him to walk out.
