Truck-kun, a common trope in isekai anime, actually serves a purpose: guiding characters to where they’re meant to be, even if the method is a bit… drastic. While getting run over by a truck isn’t ideal, it often leads to a positive outcome, revealing Truck-kun’s surprisingly kind nature. Some of these unfortunate incidents are hilariously awkward, deeply sad, or even strangely endearing. Whether fatal or not, each encounter with Truck-kun is memorable for the audience.

Many viewers commented after last week’s episode that the show’s pace and overall feel changed suddenly, moving away from its typically lighthearted, whimsical style – and it was a bit jarring. I understand that perspective; the story about Jinx struggling and the visit from Child Protective Services might have unfolded more smoothly over a few episodes. However, I believe the show aims to be a comforting fantasy world with occasional touches of realism.

In this week’s episode of “Marat Sade,” Daisy is back working undercover, and it’s clear she’s not up to the task. Throughout the season, it’s been obvious that her grief and tendency to be easily influenced make her a poor choice for this assignment, and this episode confirms those concerns. Daisy arrived in Gilead wanting revenge, and the harsh justice system there has actually appealed to her desire for retribution. Her mother cautioned her that seeking revenge only leads to more suffering, but Daisy now seems to be questioning that very idea.
