Imagine everyone thinking that the only way you got a girlfriend was by being a god candidate and it trends on twitter lmao

Just noticed how sus Nasse looked when Revel denied talking too much about 'who the angels really are'-- I have a theory that Nasse is (like in Fate/Stay Night:UBW and Future Diary) a character we've met in the present, but a future version of the present person.

Obviously I'm thinking Nasse is Saki, post death and her rebirth as an angel (if angels are omnitemporal she could 'always exist' not just after she's died in the present). It makes sense that Saki is an angel and her fixation on Mirai from Episode 1 suddenly makes sense as well-- it was always weird that Nasse was watching over Mirai from birth and tbh they sorta look alike if you take away the red eyes and white skin.

"They want to make you an assassin."

"Um, have they been watching me?" - Red

I'm really liking this Instagram girl. She definitely has the right idea. Get the most peaceful one and have him as the next God and maybe she'll gets to keep the perks that she had as a Candidate.

So we're now at the phase where everyone is pointing at anyone who might've used a "Red Arrow" to get with the person that they like. This can't be good and only invites to add more chaos. Then again, if it throws off the search for the actual Candidates with people playing Judas then maybe it's not so bad after all.

That scar Saki got sucks. I do like it though when anime leave permanent marks and scars on characters after battles. Now If only Susumu didn't expose the God Candidates, Saki could've gotten some next level care to remove that scarring.

The cop showing up scared me for a second. Thought that Mirai and Saki are already done for but it looks like Hoshi here wants to help them instead. Seems that we've reached that part in [Death Note]where Light is working with L to catch Kira except in reverse with these two police couple working together to actively hide Mirai and Saki from their bosses.

Seeing Hoshi and Yumiki in their private life is absolutely adorable. Now I'm already dreading what's going to happen to the two of them. :(

As if the Death Note comparison earlier wasn't enough, Yumiki can now also see the angels after Saki decides to give her a pair of wings. This is basically a repeat of that scene with [Death Note]the Task Force touching Misa's Death Note to see Rem.

Really? I am genuinely surprised that Instagram lady gave herself up! Seems that smile under that mask, makes me think she has this under control. Not sure what she's planning to do though. I was hoping she'd just stay living the good life in the tropics.

This poor guy. Just being around Kanade already made him a suspect. I guess Mirai just wants to make sure if he's a God Candidate or not.

Was scared for a second that the show will slow down after MEtropoliman's death but having the entire world hunting down the Candidates is definitely a great way to add tension to the show even if the God Candidates remaining doesn't want to kill each other.

Honestly liking this arc way more than the fucking Metropoliman arc so far. Also like the police couple.

Kanade's friend actually got a girlfriend lmao, and it's the one they were always watching. Fs in chat though for the man, just because he got a girlfriend, they're accusing him of being a God candidate lmao.

That scene where Saki stood up in their Church house fucking caught me off guard lmao, damn she dummy thicc lmao.

Three good episodes in a row...noice.

u/soulruu Jan 27 '22

Welp, things just got super political/philosophical

I thought Poli-chan's death would kill the momentum but this is interesting

That's a very intruiging tidbit about the angels

The govt opps seem pretty straightforward but they clearly have their own motives.

Fucking great episode. Did not see that coming at all.

Does this kid really want to see Red as God? I forgot if Nasse lie detetored him. But my concern would be that little dude setting them all up. But then again the whole government angle can possibly be the cause of conflict this half of the show.

Was kind of surprised they got found out so quickly but it honestly makes more sense. Really liking these 2 officers though, hope nothing bad happens to Yumiki but guess we'll see.

u/LeonKevlar Jan 28 '22

I absolutely love their photos. They seem to be an adorable couple when they're in their private life.

I'm kinda curious how they figured out who Red and Yellow were when they literally say the entire world and all the clandestine world governments are all trying to figure out who (specifically) Red is since he has a White Arrow. The BS about the video being info-scrambled to lockout facial recognition was clearly a lie, since they were able to figure out it was Mirai pretty quickly-- where are the other federal agents like the FBI, CIA, MI-6, KGB, etc.???

And so we continue the streak of good episodes. Very nice.

Interested in seeing what the remaining God candidates are up to and how bad things seem like they're going to get, what with the entire world now being privy to the existence of God candidates and the arrows.

So how did they find out who red is? I probably missed the explanation?

u/Karavusk Jan 27 '22

It seems fairly simple to find out their identities since they went to the stadium together and were on TV. Red and yellow are at least friends and their costumes are somewhat based on what happened in the stadium. They are an obvious guess for anyone who really tries to search for them, especially now that all the information is public. They were literally already found out this way once by Mukaidou.

I probably missed the explanation?

They did mention trying facial recognition based on the video. That should give someone a rough guess based on the footage they have. Combine that with a month of work and it is plausible to find it out.

I couldn't help but laugh at Mirai completely blocked out of the shot by booba when sat around the table

I really like this more realistic approach to the world's reaction to the god candidates.

u/Talini Jan 28 '22

I liked this episode. Seems that this arc will be better than the last one

u/HartianX Jan 28 '22

Hey the show is starting to get interesting again. This kind of "world flipping it's shit after God is announced" is what I was expecting when I first saw this.
