Miss King Episode 4

Bonding

This episode explains what happened to Asuka when she collapsed during last game. There is a lot of parental drama and trauma churning around in her head. Her mentor shares his story and why he hated her father. I don’t know whether to laugh or be creeped out at their dispensing of his father’s ashes. They came back to bar like two guilty kids coated in ash. I have mixed feelings with this choice of grief management. At least Asuka has a place to stay with one who cares about her. The bar owner is their angel. Asuka goes back and wins a match. I am not sure if this is a makeup game for the one interrupted or a new set of games. Her dear brother shared the recording of her with the knife to his betrothed, but left out what happened to her and her mom. He’s a weasel and that girl needs to get away from the family. He pointed out that Asuka plays like her father. I would really love to see her defeat her dad at his own game and in his own style. That would be some lovely karma for both of them. She would be vindicated and he could fade away. I liked that he saw the results of his daughter’s games and I hope it registered deep that the cast away daughter outplayed his beloved and cherished son. 😝
