So many Izufaces!
And Marcille (or even the whole gang) has clearly adopted this new baby.
Even as a retainer Izu was acting freer than most, and right as she has gained real freedom, she is now chafing at the restrictions of a survival situation.
The gang is genuinely trying to co-operate and form a relationship of fair "give and take" but Izu has very little experience with being given anything, not without a catch. And while the catch in this situation is very real in that the gang is hoping shell be helpful and pull her own weight, they are not her owners, nor do they want to be.
Voluntary co-operation is very new to this young cat-person. But the gang is refusing to show her anything but kindness despite her prickly attitude, let's hope they can gain the fickle trust of this feline friend!
And she can move! Chil and Izu dealing with the Ice golem was wonderfully animated, though she didn't seem to pick up on the fact that without Chilchuck showing her where to apply her combat skills, she would have been screwed, and she ends up taking credit for the whole thing.
Chilchuck is still the bigger person in the end. I love the details in how he, and later Marcy, talk to Izu about what it means to be a functioning person. How being too hedonistic and selfish is counterproductive, and that being more well rounded in how you go about life, requires that you show concern for others and consider the bigger picture.
I belly laughed at Laios' wanting to "explore" Izu's body. Of course he would want to know every detail of this exotic creature that is Izutsumi!
I was overjoyed to see Izu in the OP, too! I wondered last week whether they would add her in this week, and sure enough, here she is!
