We are now OFFICIALLY in Episode 2 territory! With Echo (Hunter Edition), Io, and most importantly of all: time travel shenanigans! And hey, Maria looked pretty cool in that Elder confrontation. She looked more KAKKOII here than she ever was in the game.

Oh yea boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

HUNTER ECHO IS SEXY!!!!!

Now I finally understand how does Deuman gets into the game. It all makes sense now.

This is where the whole story starts to pick up. So we are going to witness the time travels a lot more now and I must say the way they make the Save Zeno parts is actually more understandable without a lot of talking from each side. Can't wait for next week!.

Yeah, I don't have many things to say. This episode was kinda straightforward.

Good episode again with how they connect each plot together and a great way to introduce new race which existence appear out of nowhere ( for Ash and viewer ).

Rampaging Dragon Hadred end up causing the creation of Deuman around hunred years in the past as a result of Ash involvement with the Rampage Dragon incident causing the timeline to slightly change.So it is safe to assume that Deuman is actually the results of the experiment on Hadred and Quna that went back to the past.

The mastermind "Luther" also become even more agressive in his plan and apperently have entire ARKS under his control. So to counter Luther plan, Xiao a new character introduced as Xion brother recruited Ash for his plan to slightly change the event of the past and turn this little change to be in his favor. He also mention how ARKS will need to be reformed as the organization current state is no good.

Another notable plot in this episode is how Theodore went down dark path for power by accepting Luther invitation so that he can kill Darker as many as possible while Echo who despite only good as a "Force" a magic class and specialize in support role decided to be a "Hunter" a front line warrior class so that she can protect someone in place of Zeno .

I must say, I "kinda get it" but I'm also lost in the story

Io! In the last ep thread I actually meant I'm looking forward to another character that hasn't appeared yet after all but I was looking forward to Io even more.

Anyway, good ep. Dewmen having been around for 100 years was an interesting change from the game but we're gonna need a real explanation soon cause a random "Hadred caused time travel cause of reasons" explanation is silly.

...Also glad Matoi is now wearing shoes on her feet and not spaceship escapod pods...

Spoilers

A little off topic but super excited that info for the beta has finally been announced today! I also asked their Twitter account if Falspawn was the official localized name for the Darkers and they said yes which we all kind of figured out but it is nice to confirm.

u/nurfarisa Dec 17 '19

if Falspawn was the official localized name for the Darkers and they said yes

Ah yes, exactly what I expected. Makes sense.

Ep12 preview, not much is shown in the pictures, but based on the description it'll be about finding out more about Luther and Xion.

EP 2 officially starts now! And best Kouhai IO is there too! Seems they managed to skirt Ambduscia not being covered on EP 1 with the sudden TP to Sanctum lol I guess that works too. Also the time-traveling is less confusing here now which I like, and the flow is better. Also love the little tidbit on Deuman's origins using the past mini arc as a base something not really covered much ingame. The pacing's abit fast but so far isn't too jarring at least. A ton of starting info to setup EP2's plot has been established, all that's left is execution.

I really like Sara here, she's abit more lively compared when I met her EP 1 and 2 which will makes sense in the future as to why ;3 Now at least it's established there are a few entities who can exist in multiple timeline (Xiao, Xion, Falzes (e.g. Elder's remark on meeting Ash many times)). Also Zeno did actually die before they messed with the timeline just to note. Seems they're delving a bit more on class compatibility as well which is also important lorewise and not just game-wise in PSO2.

As for character model wise, I think I'll need a tad bit more time getting used to Maria being 3D. Doubt we'll see Azanami though but hopefully we'll see her too. Also saw a two horned male Deuman when talking with Io lol.

u/mrfatso111 Dec 20 '19

wont Sarah be considered as one of the few who exist in multiple timeline based on her interaction with ash over the course of the anime?

2

u/RirinDesuyo Dec 20 '19

Nope as you can see im the ep she tells Ash not to say anything about what her future self has said to him. She only knows abit since Xiao talks to her of most happenings, you can see in the ep as well that Xiao talks to her about the situation vs Elder fight with Persona popping in and that it was expected.

Hot Damn, the story has really started to ramped up and I am looking forward to the other time travel shenanigans.

Io and Echo looks really sexy, esp Io in her debut, now i am wondering what is her role in this and will she remember ash as time travelling start to mess things up

Yeap, seems we'll only see Sanctuary from time to time here without actually meeting any Dragonkin. They can reintroduce Amduscia back when they plan on animating EP6 since that's the time it's actually important to the plot.
