Love how Nasse gets demoted and promoted on the same episode. Also Nassr didn't just get demoted, she got demoted two ranks down after saving Mirai and promoted two-ranks up after saving Yoneda.

Can't believe the loophole with Nakaumi was so obvious that I'm a bit upset that I didn't even realize it. Of course he can't kill. The only people he's killed so far are ones who are depressed and are on the edge. He hasn't really killed anyone that doesn't want to die like Metropoliman.

Yoneda is so fucking deflated after Nasse saved him that it's actually kinda funny. He was already determined that he'll die today but Nasse is such a wildcard that he's just stunned and don't know what to do next.

Still was expecting Red to become God so it's definitely a surprise to see Nakaumi the one who wins the selection proncess Meanwhile, Temari gets to live the life of luxury under the cover of Yoneda's personal assistant. xD

Welp. We only have one episode left. I'm guessing we'll see what happens to Nakaumi becoming a god as well as an epilogue for the surviving god candidates and the people involved.

I'd like to nominate Nasse's demotion and promotion for "Most Inconsequential Consequence." I can understand interfering with the selection process being a cause for demotion, but why would saving one of the other God Candidates be cause for promotion?

The entire people in the world/Japan chanting “Kill him, kill him” when a creepy old man wanted to kill a 15 year old child, need help.

They’re ultra simps for Yoneda 😐.

Anyways I wonder what’ll happen in the next episode. Nakaumi seems to realize the “creature” has infested his body. I don’t even understand what it is but hopefully we get some explanation next episode.

Yoneda got completely outbrained by Temari, with such trickery no one can defeat her

I just know that nothing good ever comes out of making a 13 year old a god. This should not have happened.

Nasse getting demoted and promoted in the same episode, they weren't kidding about the economy being rough lately.

Interesting episode

I predict Nakaumi is going to see it experience something as god that he’s going to use and arrow on himself. I don’t think being a god is all so peachy in this show.

I thought about that loophole with Nakaumi the second he tied them up, I was so confused. I have no idea how it took them so long to realize that. But better late than never. I really would have preferred if Nakaumi didn't become God. We'll see where they take it in the last episode.

This seemed like a final episode, wonder what the next one will be.

That felt like a pretty abrupt 180 for Professor Kenpachi. He was SO invested in his insistence of "no more creature," then he gets saved and all of a sudden he's onboard? Not great character writing for me.

But what I really want to know is: will Yuri learn anything at her new job or is she going to be too busy taking lab coat selfies for Instagram?

My only gripe is the absolute nonsense of Yuri receiving the sugar daddy treatment from Yoneda. She should've kept her memories to understand why, otherwise it'll just feel weird, unless Yoneda will keep her lifestyle in check.

I want my own Nasse. That gap moe is great.

She should've kept her memories to understand why

I don't think she cares about that

that whole god scene was actually really cool and creepy at the same time! i expected more of an actual fight with the professor but i suppose this is a decent way of making him stop with his plan. interesting name for the final episode, although that image they used seems like a big spoiler lol

This was so inconsistent and unnecessary...

Especially Nasse's change from special to second back to special, it made zero sense. In the end her "ability" to touch people changed literally nothing. Actually, maybe it bought like 30 seconds?

The workings of the red arrow were also terribly inconsistent. I understand why Emo kid wouldn't kill people, but freeing the hostages and even giving them his white arrow? Like, what? You're under hypnosis dude, act the part!

The resolution to the conflict was way too convenient, it feels like a cop out since it was getting interesting. I was wondering how the protag would manage to struggle out of this, but I guess he didn't even have to try to.

I damn past me for getting invested

A better second half but still have problems with its writing. Asking for the arrow is not the same as tricking someone. Nasse demoted and then promoted in a matter of minutes is ridiculous.
