Takeru's got guts, a lot of guts to use time travel to take out one of those sacred towers. It's about half the season but Takeru already made up his mind on his goals.

He also took a huge risk again this episode but Tsukimiya is by his side. He's also much better at using his powers than before. Poor Yura, I wish they didn't make her look weak this episode.

I believe the anime reveal almost everything, the rest will be an epic battle, at least it's what I hope for.

I won't lie this episode gave me the vibes that I should not trust Tsukimiya either, what if she was the crazy one that killed everyone just so she could use resources to time travel? i can see that happening, also who is the one 'protecting' her for her to share her memories across 100 different worlds? I feel like Takeru's going to feel betrayal from tsukimiya as well at some point

You never should touch Tsukimiya. EVER. Or else, Takeru will become like a John Wick:

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

@Fligert You know, I had the same thought. What if this version is the one that ended Humanity? I don't trust her either.

what kinda bs is this? when does Takeru need that animal to transform? and when the animal "ran out" of energy, he just went back to normal and got Tsukimiya killed.. and when you see bunch of swords flying toward you, your first instinct is to close your freaking eyes?? lmao

This show has gone in such an unexpected direction compared to the (good) but kind of generic seeming time-loop, and I love it for that.

Sad that Tsukimiya died in this world, but at least her sacrifice wasn't for nothing.

Also finally, got a bit more info/reveal about the little fire mouse guy 😼🔥

@Sheol01 I had that theory too, but then they showed her crawling with her last strength up to the device, though maybe it needs sacriface too.

@Kai200X if you paid attention you would realize why he needed fire rat this episode. He can only transform at will inside dark mist which has world particles, as this episode explained animal was needed outside of it

Ah, so Tsukimiya is from the future and is trying to stop the World Whittle because it leads to the eventual extinction of humanity. Though I wonder if she has tried to talk to Seimei about this. Maybe she has but he is so convinced that the whittle is the right path that he won't listen.
Going forward Tsukimiya and Takeru will be able to work together to bring down Seimei which will make for an interesting dynamic because no one else will know what is going on.

@Fligert One thing I couldn't understand is how Tsukimiya managed to escape Seimei's interrogation when he kept asking her questions and she managed to get away with being innocent... At that time she should have told everything since she was under the effect of magic

@Roberto_otreboR from what i gathered in this episode, there is someone that 'protects' their memories across the worlds, so i feel like they had a hand in it

Seimei's world whittle plan doesn't pan out very well in Tsukimiya's future. So this wake up call to Kazura is a long time coming.

Thanks to Tsukimiya's efforts and her pet fire rat, Takeru has a genuine fighting chance to stop this madness. I hope he's able to take advantage of this once in a millenium opportunity.
