| The meta physical attack in this episode is more like UltraSeven rather than UltraMan. Actually, what came in my mind as most relevant was "the sea of Dirac" episode of Evangelion. |
| this episode was insane kinda thought it was a style of choice change due to the fact this show has looked perfectly fine the whole season. don't truly understand Gauma's angle yet but its feeling less and less like he was the good one in all of it |
 |
| I’ve been loving this show so far, but this episode absolutely blew me away, can’t get over how much I love it lol. Cool to hear the reason the art seemed slightly different was because of the director Kai Ikarashi, that was some damn good stuff. Very excited for the last 2 episodes, I’m sad the show’s almost over but imo it’s been a very good one, one of my personal favorites this season. I hope it’s normal lol, I was teary eyed as the ED was playing. |
| this is kinda why I don’t know how to rate this show, it goes from just some regular “monster of the week” type anime to an amazing episode like this |
 |
OK guys but you're all forgetting something important Just look at those two <3 |
 |
| WOW! this episode is totally different! breaking dimensions!!! 5/5. another plus was the direction of this episode wherein they put very few OST and most if it has no music which made more impact on the various scenes!! THICC || THICCER || THICCEST |

| Holy fucking shit, that episode was amazing. Everyone and everything just suddenly disappearing like that is terrifying, what kind of fucking kaiju was that? I am already looking forward to the eventual 3rd installment of the Gridman universe. That Akane cameo though, and it's nice to see smol Anti again. I guess Kano really just accidentally died... or she was lying. But either way, Yume got her closure. Even Koyomi probably, Yomogi's reaction to seeing his supervisor was hilarious. Now I am wondering who that Princess is. So the reason Gauma betrayed the eugenicists is because they tried to destroy the country because the country didn't care about them anymore, but the only thing Gauma cares about is the princess. I am curious about those worlds though, are they like some multiverses or something, it seemed like they still existed even if they left already. But, damn that episode was fucking phenomenal, I am really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| So everything is connected somehow. Everyone was given a second chance to confront their past and some lived it differently while some just remembered it. Also that end scene raise many questions. Is Gauma already dead? Is he living a kaiju memory? That was some deep foreshadowing. Yeah we need to know how they ended up together. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |

| So we get to catch a glimpse of the princess and Akane, that's nice but it still leaves a lot questions |
| hmmm I sense a drop in budget |
 |
| >trigger finally doesn't try to pander to yuris and fujos >the result is one of the best casts they've had in a long time Hmmmmm.... |
| We didn't see yomogi's past prolly cause his life is uneventful haha, Getting to see their past especially guama's was a eye opener. Glad to see Minami come to a good conclusion for her sister and is able to move on now. Or at least feel better about the situation. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This is my favorite episode so far! This monster acted like an angel from Evangelion, it's was a really nice way to show the past of some characters |
| Hey you! Yes you! Have a nice day! And best wishes for your life's journey! |
| What an amazing episode, this is my favourite one so far. I was so immersed, it had my attention from the beginning to the end. |
 |
| What a bombastic episode. Genuinely did not see this one coming. The animation, reactions, and facial expressions felt so Fooly Cooly, I loved it. It looks like this episode had the crew confront their pasts along with their regrets. Gauma still being the biggest question mark. But it looks like he's willing to go to great lengths for the princess, even destroy the Kaiju Eugenists. The scene between Yume and her sister was really nice, she finally got some closure. A really fantastically directed episode. |
| Easily one of the best anime episodes ever made. Art style change up, a true portion of fear caused by cold sudden and extremely frightening kaiju ability, huge character progression and epic action. I love anime Also, it seems that Gauma is built up to be the villain for the final episodes yo. Killed his comrades because of some queen. If he meets her again, will he agree to betray and attack the Dynazenon squad? Is the queen maybe like the first kaiju in the human form that is kinda like a god figure? I don't know what to expect |

| amazing episode !!!!!!!!! |
| -if Knight is Anti, who's the woman with him? -if Gauma and the others got betrayed by the princess, why is HE called betrayer? -if they were killed back then how so they're alive in the present and how did they travel in time? -so, Yume's sister really was not bullied nor somehow involved in something shady about her bf. She just died by accident? Wonder why her bf looked like he didn't give a damn, then. -ok, Koyomi didn't accept his crush's invitation to run away with money. So what? Why is he an unemployed weird man living in a room with his cousin?! Those two didn't get explained very much, honestly. |

Those two didn't get explained very much, honestly. This thread is kinda baffling to me. His relationship with his school crush is portrayed as such an toxic relationship that it’s kinda hard to feel much sympathy for him? Like this flashback is him regretting that he didn’t make the super questionable decision of running away with a bunch of stolen money? And poor Chise doesn’t even get an arc. She gets a fake out that implies she’s got self-harm scars and gets a mid season power up that apparently washes away the fact that the rest of her friends were all big ignoring her despite her best efforts to help where she could. You can't be without a job at 30 because at 14 you ran from your crush. |
holy shit i had a hunch that anti and knight are the same person but i wasnt expecting the megane girl to be the origin kaiju from gridman as well, blows my mind |

| So Yume's death really was an accident afterall? And at the very end...did Gauma not come back and there is an imposter? |
 |
| Omg this episode was really wonderful, 5/5, seeing them facing their past and what they regret like that was good, but with that stunning direction it just looked incredible, at least now Yume's drama with her sister seems to be kinda resolved with what we learnt and how it wasn't intentional, the puzzle is finally resolved |
 |
| Another strong episode as this show, sadly, nears closer to the end. They've been going all out lately. |
| Gaumas past was pretty dark. Seeing normal Gauma was pretty cool. Ahhhh Anti is so flipping cool, "I didn't need help" |
| This episode reminds me a lot of episode 9 of ssss.gridamn (which is very much a good thing) zz2000 said: The episode director for episode 9 storyboarded it but it is a different episode director.Atlos said: This episode reminds me a lot of episode 9 of ssss.gridamn (which is very much a good thing) It was handled by the same person who directed Gridman Ep 9. |

 _______I like rocks__  |
| This episode was all over the place. The art quality was also detrimental. Maybe I should have binge the BD instead. |
| Well, with this episode Yume and her sister's subplot is finally resolved. It was an accident at the end and it wasn't bullying as was thought. But besides that it was interesting to know the past of our characters and even Akane from SSSS.Gridman makes a cameo appearance. Unfortunately Chise wasn't absorbed by the power of the kaiju so it was wasted potential and we don't even have the perspective of our antagonists even though they were also affected. It seems to me that this issue could have lasted 2 episodes and not one. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Best episode of the series |
| Koyomi's past was the least rough, Yume's sad but Gauma's was straight up horrible :/ |
| Certainly the toughest Kaiju they've faced so far. I really liked the animation style change here and seeing how everyone dealing with their past. |
 |
| So that Kaiju kinda sent them back to their past. Now we know their backgrounds. Gauma's part was tragic, and Yume's kinda help her chasing her sister's past now came to a close and that it was really an accident. Sad. It was cool how they used that giant circular blade to defeat that Kaiju. Good episode. |
| I'm actually laughing out loud lol when they were all disappearing one by one. I guess that's more appropriate instead of them getting killed... (๑•﹏•) Being transported into their past timeline where they wholeheartedly regretted in their whole life. Man, that would be a blast to go to. I guess we got a glimpse of their past lives which was sweet or should I say endearing... I guess most of them relived their pasts lives but thanks to Yomogi's push, they parted with their pasts and you know the rest. P.S. That kaiju's powers were godly if it can travel the whole human race into their pasts but its defenses were too weak. lol |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Certainly the toughest Kaiju they've faced so far. I really liked the animation style change here and seeing how everyone dealing with their past. From reading some stuff online apparently Gauma's past resembles that episode 18 from the original Gridman the Hyper Agent series. |
