Zenshu episode 8 recap
Zenshu episode 8, titled Confession, began with the mysterious bird-like creature pestering Natsuko Hirose almost every single day, telling her, "It's of no use". Natsuko relentlessly tried to capture the bird, and each time, it ended up escaping from her and repeating the same phrase over and over again.
Eventually, Natsuko managed to capture the bird with Destiny's help. After getting the bird to talk, Natsuko got the biggest shock of her life - the bird-like creature that had been giving her ominous warnings all this time was none other than the director of A Tale of Perishing movie - Kametaro Tsuruyama.
Apparently, Kametaro had reincarnated into the world of her own magnum opus as a bird following her death in the real world. As for Natsuko, she was thrilled to finally get a chance to talk to her biggest inspiration, albeit not in the way she had imagined. However, Kametaro warned Natsuko that all her efforts to change the story of A Tale of Perishing would only be in vain and that Luke's demise was already set in stone.
On the other hand, Luke struggled with his feelings for Natsuko. He eventually managed to muster up the courage to propose to her one night, leaving Natsuko in shock. Following this, Luke continued declaring his love to Natsuko every time he saw her, only for her to avoid him completely.
Disheartened at Natsuko's response, Luke visits his old friend Ganger's grave to talk about his troubles, only to find Justice there. After opening up about his disastrous confession to Justice, Luke realizes the error of his ways and decides to ask Natsuko out on a date, as per Justice's advice.
Shortly afterward, Luke took Natsuko to a nearby hot spring she had always wanted to visit. Although things were awkward for them at first, they eventually managed to have a proper conversation regarding Natsuko's past life, which almost caused her to confess that the one she loved the most out of the Nine Soldiers, was none other than Luke. Fortunately, she managed to stop herself from saying that just in time.
Unfortunately, their moment ended up being interrupted by a Void attack. To make things worse, the Void monster had a beam attack similar to one of Natsuko's creations, making it difficult for Luke to fight it head-on. To counter it, Natsuko drew a fighter robot with a shield with her animator powers. Although destroyed, the robot allowed Luke to land a decisive blow on the Void.
As the explosion from the Void's destruction sent Luke and Natsuko flying, she realized that she had fallen for him - experiencing her first love at last. With this, episode 8 reached an enthralling conclusion, leaving viewers excited to witness more of Natsuko and Luke's relationship in Zenshu episode 9.
What to expect from Zenshu episode 9
Zenshu episode 9 is titled Hero. As stated in the episode's preview synopsis, the next episode will focus on Natsuko's life after Luke confessed his love to her. As good as Natsuko might be feeling, she is overcome by feelings of worry due to the change in A Tale of Perishing's plotline.
As stated by the bird, the movie's director, Natsuko's actions might change the entire movie. So, will Natsuko savor her first experience in love or will she give up on everything only to maintain the movie's originality?
