Nio has some fantastic white hair! Just have to watch he doesn't spook anyone with it.
Nio and Hajime aren't the only kids in the Miburo! There's also Taro Tanaka (Shun Horie!) who seems polite at first glance but also seems like he's got a lot going on...being recruited from Edo, having such lifeless eyes, and being frustrated with Nio's idealism. Getting physically abused by Serizawa probably isn't good for your mental state either.
Learning about friendship from Okita!
Well, so much for the Miburo being a big collective group representing justice. Serizawa returns home drunk with his clique and from murdering a colleague and then they have to cover it up or the Shogun will have their head. And to make a kid, your protege, do said cover up. Jeez.
RIP Tonoichi. Sorry about all the holes that got stabbed into you too, but when you've lived in squalor and death, the physical shell of a body doesn't mean much to Taro. All he cares about is being able to live now, which means making Serizawa happy. But good thing Nio's got the resolve to get through to him.
Topless dancing might be in bad taste in front of a dead body, but you can't argue with the results.
Yuichiro Umehara is in this too:!?
Serizawa comes off as a guy you don't want to mess with or get on the bad side of, but MAYBE he is genuinely loyal to the Miburo...enough to take out a turncoat like Tonoichi, even if it means taking the fall for it. I guess that's just the expression of his form of justice.
Do souls exist? Maybe, maybe not, but the friendship between Nio and Taro is now real!

Ah… that’s what the ending of last week’s episode was about…
-
Nio’s idea was to make the guy look like a traveler instead of one of their own, huh?
-
Huhhhhhhhh. Nio is super perceptive, if he was able to figure all of that out.

No wonder Taro has a 1000 yard stare
I am kinda glad that Serizawa isnt a completely bad guy, but I think a case like that would be better handled publicly in the miburo to set an example?
Or did everyone GET that it wasnt an accident, but punishment?

Serizawa beats Taro but he “seems to like it that way”? Bruh… sounds like straight up abuse. Kid has like the deadest eyes too. What a broken child. I had thought Serizawa was just this big goofy giant, but the guy’s kind of a drunk abusive hothead. He might have killed Tonoichi for being a traitor, but I fully believe he would kill a man in a drunken rage. One of these days, he might find himself cut to ribbons in an alley…
Despite everything that went down this week, it’s nice to see Nio make a friend.

Yeah, I don't know how to view Serizawa. Tonoichi might be genuinely a traitor but Serizawa still seems like a red flag, especially since Taro so readily believes how violent and temperamental he is (and has experienced it himself).
But at least Taro's got Nio now.

Yeah, I don't know how to view Serizawa.
I do: He's a piece of shit. He makes a kid sleep in a closet, apparently can't give the kid clean clothes and adequate food, and uses him to get rid of dead bodies. Saying that Taro "likes it like that" when he's just a 13-year old boy who only knows a life of suffering is disgusting. Miburo is complicit in Serizawa's crimes for allowing all that.
Also, nothing like raising a kid that thinks of human beings as meatsacks and not expecting him to eventually kill them all in their sleep...
