Kagero must feel really sad. Her son is so close and yet she can't touch him. :(

She touched him multiple times in the first episode... There's a scene where she kicks him in the stomach and grabs his head without anything impeding her doing so.

Sweet storytelling and attention to detail.

I was looking to see if there was anyone who mentioned this online. Looks like a very convenient point to forget. I couldn't remember if at any point in the series they addressed this discrepancy of them not being able to touch, but her punching and kicking him several times in the first episode I just rewatched lol.

Why do they always assume that immortality is a curse? Yeah, you will live on forever, seeing love ones die etc, but time heals all wounds. Eventually, you'll be desensitized and then realize that immortality is a blessing and that there are so many things to experience in life that is not possible as a mortal. It's so stupid that most people tie themselves down to family and relationships and think there's nothing left to do when one becomes immortal and they start dying off. lol

I just noticed the sub spell his name Recca instead of Rekka. Not Recca is more natural to look at i suppose but it still bothers me it isn't technically correct.

based Rekka btw "you're destined to be Hokage in another dimension and time" "That's stupid and i don't care."

I do love the pure plot convenience of teaching Rekka's mom the time dimension skill thing. Like, he spends more time telling her not to use it than anything else and all in service of her immediately using it. Why teach it to her in the first place then? It would make sense if their clan was dedicated to preserving the technique because of a prophecy or something but its just a random ninja skill they have on the side for no reason, lol.

And Domon saying "he finally called her mom!" made me laugh. The audience might've guessed she was his mom a few episodes ago but Rekka just learned that 20 minutes ago. He went from "I don't know you! Go away" to "Don't hurt my mommy" in half an episode. That's not a big deal!
