Ep 19. As Long As I Can Protect You

Kazuki and Tokiko are in a tight spot when they find themselves separated during a fight against a powerful Homunculus. Tokiko is left facing off against the formidable beast alone while Kazuki returns to school to try and protect the city from any attacks that may come their way.

However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when the Homunculus targets the school directly. Kazuki must do his best to protect the students and faculty from the monster while praying that Tokiko can defeat the Homunculus on her own.

As the battle intensifies, it becomes clear that the Homunculus is not just a mindless beast, but a thinking and feeling creature with its own goals and motivations. Kazuki must reconcile his desire to protect the innocent with his growing empathy for the creature that is causing so much devastation.

Meanwhile, Tokiko battles the Homunculus with all her might, but her weapon becomes damaged in the process. She must rely on her wits and determination to defeat the creature, even as she begins to question the morality of their fight.

As the episode comes to a close, both Kazuki and Tokiko are left with heavy burdens to bear. Kazuki realizes that not all enemies are evil, and that sometimes the line between good and evil can become blurred. Tokiko faces the reality that her actions as an Alchemist Warrior are not always just, and that she may be fighting for a cause that is not as black and white as she once believed.

As Long As I Can Protect You is a gripping and emotional episode that delves deeper into the complex and nuanced world of Buso Renkin. Action-packed and thought-provoking, it will leave viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
