While Sun Jian is foolish to take the imperial jade for himself, he does not deserve the death he receives in this episode. I feel so sad when he asked his soldiers to take Sun Quan away because he did not want Sun Quan to see him die. Sun Quan proves to be very intelligent and brave for his age, and he is cute as well. I wonder if he plays a role in the future. Overall, I like the Sun family and wonder if I will see more of them in this series.

My respect for Wang Yun really went downhill in this episode. Although I knew he planned something bad for Diao Chan when he realized Lu Bu and her loved each other and he said she could save the dynasty. I never realized how bad his plot is until this episode. He wanted to give her to Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu at the same time to sow discord between the two. Even if he is her adoptive father, this is a rather mean thing which he did. I don't approve of it, at all. I feel sad for Diao Chan.

Cao Cao proves to be intelligent, again, fooling Sun Jian to part with his army. Sun Jian proves to be very foolish, caring for the imperial jade when it is just a piece of rock. I wonder if this will really lead to a disaster for Sun Jian in the end. I am still rooting for Liu Bei.

What a wonderful fighting scenes between the three heroes and Lu Bu. Lu Bu is really formidable, and Liu Bei still seems honorable. I really enjoy the fight scenes between Lu Bu and the three heroes. The change of capitol near the end of this episode proves to me what I know all along when I first watch this series... that Dong Zhuo is a tyrant. He only cares for himself and not the citizens. I hope he gets deposed, soon. At this point, I am rooting for Liu Bei. He seems to be the most honorable man among all the characters!

Guan Yu proves to be a brave warrior that can do what no other can... slay Hua Xiong. Liu Bei and Cao Cao's conversation here seems to further hint at a future rivalry between the two as both are ambitious but have a different notion of how to achieve their own ambitions. Sun Quan, the son of Sun Ce, is so cute and intelligent. I will like to see more of him as the series progresses.

My worst fear comes true and Cao Cao did kill his uncle. He does not seem so noble as he did during the first episode. He seems to be cunning and ambitious, and not just care for the greater good. Liu Bei, on the other hand, seems to be moral, looking at this episode. Despite his humble beginning, Liu Bei seems to draw a heroic aura. I am left expecting more good things from Liu Bei. I sense a rivalry between Cao Cao and Liu Bei somewhere in the future...

I still like Cao Cao. He is still cool, although a bit suspicious, it seems. Liu Bei, who is introduced in this episode with his two brothers seems interesting and I wonder what role he will play in the future. Chen Gong seems like a nice character, who rather than sacrifices his righteousness, chooses to flee with Cao Cao, instead. Oh, what a sad misunderstanding at the end of this episode. I fear what it will lead to...

We are introduced to Cao Cao, one of the main characters of this series. Cao Cao is shown here as someone who is willing to lay down his life for the sake of the greater good. From the start, we know he is likely to be a major character as much screen time is given him from the first episode. He tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo but failed and we grieved with his failure and worried for his safety. Episode 1 ends with Cao Cao trying to evade capture and we are left to fear for his safety.
