Great episode. Turns out Yuru is way more pragmatic than I initially thought. Instead of the typical rage or despair we usually get from most shounen protagonists, he’s cold and calculating, even when his world is turned upside down. It’s actually kind of refreshing. I also like that, so far, there doesn’t seem to be a clear villain. Sure, Asa’s team basically executed every adult in the village, but it feels like she had reasons we just don’t know yet.
This does seem to be decent so far, although the trite shonen paradigm of people with superpowers fighting everyone else with superpowers seems to be strong in this one.
Also, I thought Yuru or Dera or even Asa would be a lot more upset about the soldiers and Gabby killing all the innocent(?) villagers.

There better be a damn good reason, like the entire village were genocidal maniacs or something, because no other reason seems reasonable here.
