What to expect from the upcoming episode?

Previously, in episode 7 of Handyman Saitou in Another World, we saw Kisirugi sacrificing himself to save the others regardless of all his previous wrongdoings. The Minister and the Dorg then take him away. Fans deemed it a very emotional episode, especially with the addition of Morlock giving up his hand.

In the next episode, viewers will hopefully find out if Kisirugi’s death is an absolute necessity for the Rejuvenation magic or not.

Saitou has not succeeded in finding the roomba, which has raised the question of his true purpose. The upcoming episode will also shed light on what is expected to happen to his group.

Morlock will have to engage in some serious discussions, given the fact that he was the one to summon Saitou in that world.
