### Summary
Following a frustrating socio-political arc where Bota and his guardian Kana were relentlessly pursued by a human antagonist, the narrative has executed a significant time skip of several years. This jump forward moves past the heavily criticized conflict, with reader commentary suggesting Kana’s controversial inaction during the chase may be re-contextualized as a deliberate plan for Bota's development. The story now reveals a physically matured Bota, whose appearance is strikingly similar to his late father, the legendary harpooner Teon Ma. Audience reception to this "glow up" is overwhelmingly positive, celebrating that he has reclaimed his father's sword and is poised to follow in his footsteps, fulfilling the training arc established after Kana rescued him and his sister. While Bota's personal growth and maturation into a warrior now take center stage, the original, long-term quest to find a cure for his sister Lita's mutating disease remains the unresolved central plot.
