Aw. Little Allen is so cute.

After several years, Allen finally reunites with his father. His father, well aware of Allen's collaboration on Paradox Live, eagerly desires recognition for his music. Unfortunately, Allen's hopeful aspirations are ruthlessly shattered on the day of the extra battle. As BAE and cozmez strive to reach the stage, they carry their own personal motivations.

I wonder why Allen's dad isn't a fan of hip-hop. His opinions seem pretty intense to me, but when you think about how Paradox Live ties in with phantometal and futuristic music, it makes sense that some folks might feel a bit put off. Could Allen's dad be one of those people who aren't into it? Or maybe he's more of a fan of hardcore classical music?

We've got just two episodes left. I wonder how they're going to bring everything together.

Okay, this episode is really interesting. A lot of things are coming together. And the ramen shop owner must be related to Buraikan somehow.

@IzanaSolos I think Allen's father just believes that classical music is the only real music and anything modern is bad. Like how rock n roll was seen as bad. It's also similar to people who believe that digital art isn't real art.

A lot of things are happening!
Poor Allen, suffering some more. But nice to see that BAE won’t leave him alone!
⚡️ AKYR ⚡️ opening act ✨… WE JUST BAD BOYZ 💛
Wholesome Nayuta / Kanata moment, but also feels really melancholy… 🥹
The scientist guy is on the move. The Raimentei‘s owner is on the move… 👀
Oh oh 🐉 Buraikan 🐉 is finally here 🎉🎉 🖤 😼😾… how interesting to see Yasha & Shura!! 🤔

I have mixed feelings about this episode since it is 100% original. I love those new details like interaction between everyone, adding character development like Allen's background that IT'S ABOUT TIME and this episode made me suffer because THE DAMN SON OF A BITCH OF THAT MAN WHO IS HIS FATHER DESERVES HELL HIMSELF!!

That Kanata is upset about the "Victory" is very ironic and those of us who are up to date with the Voice Drama will understand what I mean. The talk he has with Nayuta is sad because the context I know is painful.

Buraika is back...but it's not good since we know Shura's resemblance to the owner of the Ramen shop...I have my theory but I would understand with Yasha!! But Shura? I NEED ANSWERS!!

There are 2 episodes left to finish and yes or yes they must put in the Voice Drama Live which is the missing one to complete Phase 1. You can't skip almost anything since part 3 and I think part 4 of that Voice Drama is the preamble to Phase 2 called Road To Legend!

Finally Buraikan is here!
Allen, Hajun and Anne are here to save you!
I’m so hyped to see Yasha and Shura here, I really need to know more about Buraikan. I have some theories but I don’t know how accurate they are.
I like how Yasha’s first line is ‘You guys are so loud…stfu’

If Allen's father thinks this about Hip Hop, imagine if he discovers the musical trash that is made in Brazil lol.🤣

@phantomfandom I dont care if they are real or not, I'm just happy to see their visuals and hear their voices. :3
Btw in the ending Shura sings "Fake and real, which one is ok". xD If its Buraikan, I kinda dont care.

Edit: But now i started thinking about it. Apart from that Yasha's phantometal was not on the scene, their look is like 10 yrs ago. Maybe because they are Japananese, tho. But this means that when they started performing as a duo 10 yrs ago, Shura could be like a dinosaur for teenager Yasha back then.

Allen's breakdown felt a bit out of place to me. If it was about him being afraid of Hajun's death - ok. But he just repeated what his father said...
And all that secrecy even after they came together as a team and decided to talk things out more? What was the point of that episode (The one where Hajun locked himself in his room) then

Otherwise a good episode though. I'm hyped for the finale.

Omg what a terrible dad, and wow for Suzaku to have put all this in place just to prove himself acceptable to his dad and for it all to amount to nothing in the end even if he won with BAE.

Curious how 48 and anZ get him out of this funk

Also Kanata x Suzaku still canon, the way Nayuta kept being like he was glad he found someone else important to him and that smile of acceptance he made as Kanata was getting fired up at Suzaku failing to meet his promise.

Okay but like his dad's kinda right. Again, you don't even need to use phantom metal in order to be a good performer, rap well, or... pretty much you don't need it for anything. You can't even justify it. It's legitimately killing you and your friends, making their lives pretty darn unhealthy on various levels. The man's not wrong on that part. I hope Allen will be able to to continue making music that he loves, but you 100% don't need phantom metal.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria
