Blood River Episode 20

Challenges met

That spear shattering when the leader tried to pick it up was kinda awesome. The message has been sent and the warning has been issued. Changhe also meets his challenger head on. The three families want no part of nameless leadership. Did he speak truth that those with the other side simply want to displace old leadership rather than the ideals of a new Blood River? That question remains to be answered. Whoever is the mastermind now sees Changehe’s response in bodies. Muyu has taken his real name and fights for vengeance for his father. I would have liked to see the battle of the one master who is mentor of the youth, but the old guy who helped bring cause the downfall of Swordless village stepped in. I am not sure if it honors his father forsaking the way of the sword to go full assassin. Muyu’s anger might be in the way here. He has a righteous cause but I am not sure his father would agree with his methods here. It truly takes a lot to piss Muyu off, but this has been his pet peeve since he learned the truth of his village’s massacre. This duel settles that old score and he has agreed to keep the new WuShuang out of it. That is actually fair as they don’t know the true history of how they received the sword techniques. The fact that the one master used his four best disciples to sharpen his skills rather than having them become true masters says how low the level has fallen. They at least see how they were duped and may now head a different course where they become true masters. The battle is raging and both are quite equal. I want to see Muyu kick his royal ass but I also want him to do it with honor as his father would. Waiting to see if he gets beyond his rage in next episode.
