The third season of Scissor Seven: Xuanwu Kingdom Chapter sees another increase in quality and transitions from the usual action-comedy blend to a much more compelling narrative by the end, despite no concrete ending. The contrast in writing and cinematography in the finale added serious weight to the conflict and consequences, and the commitment to the tonal shift worked phenomenally when juxtaposed with the initial lighthearted humor of the first half. Moreover, the character relationships and themes of memories and family were integrated well. Those opening episodes were enjoyable as per usual, but the direction the story is heading in is honestly much more exciting.
