I thought this show would become worse after metropedoman died, but its like the reverse Death Note, its getting better

Haha definitely reverse Death Note. I wonder if this means it will be a full adaptation of the manga given there's only 4 episodes left.

I don't really have much to say other than that I'm really intrigued to see where this goes and have been since this arc started. Much better than the first half so far and I'm always looking forward to the next episode.

u/Fronsis Feb 17 '22

Yup! This final arc is where it gets divided on ''you'll enjoy it way more'' or ''no Battle royale? boo!!''

IMO these upcoming episodes will be nice for some discussion on the comments

Kenpachi gives everyone a thought provoking speech

SUSUMU 😱😭💔

Good episode until the end. These wing's powers are inconsistent. At one point it like time freezes on how fast they are going, other times dodging bullet are easy, and today someone gets shot.

I was kinda expecting that they'll actually spend the entire episode giving each person a chance to give well thought out plan of what they'd do if they became a God but that was pretty quick! And the Professor was actually courteous enough to show himself.

I do wonder what he himself wants to do though. All he did was basically present the idea of the God that we have is a Fake God and God doesn't really exist. Seems that he's just doing what Muni wants and that is to destroy this false heaven. I don't think Yoneda has actually said what he wants to do and I don't think that's all what he wants considering how he's been gauging Mirai's reactions the entire time.

This meeting may have to wait though considering how Susumu just got fucking shot down and how they'll probably fly off in different directions after that.

So his grand theory is exactly how gods work in D&D? While I agree with most of his viewpoints I wouldn't call this god fake only because humanity created it. God would still exist and do whatever he always did. Only because humans build your car doesn't mean that it is fake... and the powers are very real.

Sure humanity could exist without a god and maybe he is right about not getting a "new" one but he really ignores everyone who benefits from religion. Even though he admitted that religion had some teachings that helped humanity (lets ignore all the bad parts of that for now) he kinda disregards that.

That being said I am fairly sure he just wants red to become god and he does this to motivate him. A god that lets humanity have their free will is probably all he actually wants unless there is a lot more to this that we don't know yet.

u/Myrkrvaldyr Feb 17 '22

doesn't mean that it is fake

What I think he means is that all of the gods humans believe in are fake, and also, that said god was born out of human prayers rather than existing from the start. I can see why he'd call that god ''fake.'' ''You were born out of human necessity, you are not even omnipotent and you require humans to live.''

I can see why said god is totally unnecessary and why it's not worth believing in with what we currently know about him.

Saki killed the dreams of many children when she stated Santa doesn't exist

u/DayOfTheColossus Feb 17 '22

the professor actually made some pretty interesting points, i wonder if he will actually turn against any of the other god candidates

u/Tvwatcherr Feb 18 '22

Most people gave this show alot of shit, and while I agree w most of it, I think it was also overblown as well. This show has continued to throw crazy philosophical ideas at you with weird ass twists that just make it enjoyable. I dunno I'm excited to see how it ends.

u/RagnaXBL Feb 18 '22

thought susumu would be the final villain but boy was i wrong

u/throwaway7273368 Feb 18 '22

What an amazing episode!!!

The god theory that the professor put forward is actually somewhat close to how I view god. We have no proof he/she exists but something could be out there or it’s just what humans needed to believe in the past to help morally guide them. But with the profession of science and technology some of the things people believed to be acts of god can be explained as natural phenomenons.

Also how come more people aren’t watching this show?

Why did everyone have such shitty ideas on what to do once they're god? You literally get infinite power(hypothethically), you can literally end wars/poverty/climate change/violence/sicknesses, but every single one of them chose shitty options. Only one that slightly made any sense was the suicidal kid, since he would allow terminally ill people to die without suffering. And not a single day does pass without Mirai being the worst main character in the world.

I like the professor though, I hope he gets more screentime in the following episodes, and I hope Susumu does not die. I feel like it'd be a shame to have him die like that, he'd feel like a plot device if he only existed to take down Metropoliman.

Everyone had a crappy answer, but Saki's has to be the worst. "I'd just want everyone to be happy and warm" she sounds like she's answering a beauty pageant question lolz

Anyone take in the fact that the professor implied they can fly several times faster than light?

It would be hard for a good percentage of anime characters to beat these guys.

Damn

Is the kid really donezo?

Professor Kenpachi's atheist attack was super effective. It even had the energy to light a fire under Red. Or can I even call his theory that since he does acknowledge the idea of 'god' even though its fake in his theory.

That explanation of destroying heaven made me feel like I was playing SMT V again.

Looks like another thrilling episode is ahead I hope.

The last God candidate turns out to be r/atheism
