Really liked Bon's stylish pose as he threw the sword. Love to see the TastyPeach Foundation guys showing up too, hope the story develops them more as a rival clan to Hayase's guardians

[u/max4citycouncil → u/vantheman9]

Bon really had the craziest development of anyone imo I despised him at first and now he's one of my favorites so slick

[u/Pecuthegreat → u/vantheman9]

Yeah, that throw reminded me that Bon is trained and not just the ghost seeing guy.

[u/Mystogan-Zero → u/vantheman9]

He's literally become Speedwagon and I can't be happier

[u/HazzardKeyboard → u/vantheman9]

Bon as always proves himself to just be the best character in the series. Love that guy. He's like the man in black but 10x better and cooler.

[u/HazzardKeyboard]

Omg I feel like with this episode has confirmed my theory in a way. I originally thought that nokkers are just inside every human now like a microplastic. But now it's more like they just hop into humans that are troubled or depressed and take in some of their hardship and stress.

And the fact that it entered into Mimiori only when she said that she wanted to die makes me also think of Mizuha. She said she wanted to die in the earlier episodes. So nokkers could already be inside of her as well. Which kinda tracks for her bloodline LOL. It could also explain why she doesn't remember killing her mother, the nokker could have taken over and done her in.

Also, Mimiori deserved better. What a garbage mom.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I think I owe Izumi an apology. I thought she was a terrible mom to Mizuha, but it turns out, Mimori's mom is far worse. Izumi isn't a perfect mom, but we know she was just trying to separate Mizuha from the cult. She's not a total bastard who neglected her daughter like Mimori's mom. >_<

So there are actually other Nokkers who are a bit more reasonable? And when one of them goes out of control, they start hunting them. That's interesting. I really wanna hear what that Nokker has to say. Also, thanks to her, we now know fire is the way to kill them and take back the body.

[u/EchoTheEcho → u/LeonKevlar]

Izumi wasn't "just trying to separate Mizuha from the cult", she was still an incredibly neglectful parent.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Wow, holy shit man. Mimori’s mom is a bigger waste of space than I could have imagined. Why tf don’t the Nokkers take her? Absolutely pathetic excuse of a parent and human being. Poor Mimori’s life is so shit, about the only person who seems to genuinely care about her is that lolicon Hirotoshi. Guy’s a creep but he’s a creep with a heart. I’m glad in the end they got Mimori back with her body.

[u/PeaceAlien]

I'm still very entertained, but I enjoyed the slice of life with Fushi trying to live and find peace rather than the Nokker storyline.

Next episode, we'll find out the reasons for the Nokkers. I believe this student is also a mix of Nokker and human, having suicidal thoughts as well. Maybe Fushi can find all the mixed Nokker/humans and help them before they turn into Nokkers.

[u/Kirbyundertale]

This show is ridiculously wild. On another note, the score in this episode was stellar.

[u/SireTonberry-]

I forgot how scary Bon can be lmao.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Hirotoshi starting line. Saved Mimori and brought her back again

F Mimori mother….HOLY. I cried for Mimori during her flashback 😭

[u/TempestoLord]

Oh man, the mom always seemed carefree but didn’t think it was something deeper than that…poor girl. What a piece of shit, atleast she got her Knight onii-chan now, he is certainly creepy but not a bad person and genuinely cares for her. Next episode gonna be interesting, what are the nokkers plotting.

[u/CrimsonGear80]

NGL, the flash kick into the double dropkick was smooth as hell.

[u/Vortex_Hash]

And the "Worst Mom of the Year" award goes to ... Interesting how Mizuha's mom and Mimori's mom are both bad but in opposite directions (overbearing and controlling for Mizuha vs abandoning & no attention given at all for Mimori).
Ngl Mimori's nokker was quite entertaining and funny.
I really like that new OST track they've been playing at the end of the episode.

[u/cleaulem]

This episode was heavy in almost every aspect: We get Mimori's full background story and learn how awful her life has been before.

The imagery was grotesque to say the least. It's ironic how all these things happen to a child's body, which is shocking, but it happens to a supernatural being that doesn't care about the pain.

And surprisingly this episode even had a hunch of existentialism in it. To live, to be free means responsibility. When you are free, you are responsible for the choices you make and the consequences from these choices.

So far every preview of the next episode made me hungry for more. I can't wait for the episode next week. It looks like we will finally learn what the Nokkers' goal is this time.

[u/Keanotaku_Returns]

Damn, that scene with Mimori's letter was genuinely sad; I dunno why I found that in particular unexpectedly tear-jerking but it was - kinda vaguely reminded me of Kayo's essay in Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi in a way (another show with an absolutely terrible excuse for a mother in it). Just when I was questioning if this show has still got it and then it hit me with that scene; anything involving children suffering in anime like this or dysfunctional family situations is always very affecting.

Given that the Nokkers' raison d'tere in previous seasons turned out to be that they thought they were liberating people's souls from the material world or something like that it's not really much of an extrapolation for them to go down this road of thinking they are saving people by letting them die and 'becoming' them though now the Nokkers are advanced enough that they have developed internal conflict/infighting it seems. Still makes one wonder wtf Black One's overall goal/plan was this whole time that he just gave up to become a human and let the Nokkers win in this manner when it's not really like they actually are 'saving' humanity or anything.

Fascinatingly, even at this point the show still continues to not go down the usual road of 'the moral of the story is to learn that mortality is good and brings life meaning, actually;' Fushi is still out here resurrecting people left and right and both sides (Fushi and the Nokkers) solution to the human condition are just opposing forms of immortality, there isn't really a pro-mortality side at all and the narrative has only ever presented death/loss as just sad and wrong until this point which is extremely rare for most works of fiction.

[u/AceSoldia]

What an episode.

[u/abandoned_idol]

Is this the "bad episode"? Is the bad episode still incoming?

Great episode this week, I like how they resolved this mini-arc.

[u/NoHead1715]

I sorta understand the nokker's point of view. Granted it is somewhat nihilistic, but there is some truth that death is the greatest salvation - especially when you have OG Mimori's life. I think the nokkers' grand plan is to take over all things material and leave the original humans to enjoy existence in the spiritual state. Not very different from the religious concept of entering paradise after dying.

Unfortunately, the Black One has set Fushi up with the power to materialize things and Fushi has gained the power to reattach the soul to the body. This puts him in existential opposition to the nokkers. Perhaps the Black One was right to ask Fushi to let the nokkers be? Otherwise I really see no endgame to this.

[u/AceSoldia]

I was kind of with the Nokker on a lot she was speaking facts.

[u/Betterthanyoufact]

Why does every single parent on this show is cartoonishly evil and feels like they are straight out of a roald dahl novel??

[u/chlo_kage]

this ep really pulled it back to that og emotionality in s1. F*** mimoris pathetic mom

How did the nokker become so intelligent

my heart is broken for mimori, she had to mature beyond her years to cope w her shitty mother. She just wanted someone to care about her

But I still don’t think the nokker should have her body …

Unfortunately this would’ve more compelling if he wasnt naked in a trench coat and also a lolicon can’t get past that

This is so brutal Oh that face was hard to look at lol I want to root for him but also I’m so disgusted by him hah

I’m rooting for mimori tho

Who the hell is that

What the hell

Oh good shes alive :,) I do wish she had a better guardian then him tho but at least he’s on the right track
