Well, Ozen's personality really is rash, it's horrid hahaha. Though, she sure was a powerhouse, she's goddamn overpowered...you sure have to be powerful to go deep into the abyss. Good awesome episode.

"As punishment for disobeying my orders, I'll string you up naked later".

Seriously... All these pedo sprinkle talks and scenes involving 12 year olds are crucial to the plot, right? The adult male that created this has an innocent reasoning behind this, right?

Also, does it become revealed why everyone is ok with letting Riko go alone with a robot no one knows anything about?

That aside, so far the series has been good/ok, but this is the first great episode that I would rate 9/10 thanks to the interesting plot revelation.

Excuse me wtf? So Riko was dead all along? This plot point is fucked up. Riko's essentially a zombie that is instinctively heading to the Abyss due to the Curse-Repelling Relic or so it seems.

Ozen was quite the bitch but I guess she had to go all out to test their resolve and now she's training them so they could survive in the deeper levels of the Abyss. Lyza is somehow alive as well. This is probably the turning point of the show. I'm hooked more than ever.

"Aren't you essentially the same as that meat?" I love Ozen for this line and her behavior early in the episode. She really shows off how demented she's gotten from the Abyss. And then in the second half she gets redeemed as a tough love mentor type to both Riko and Lyza.

Well I was afraid that this episode was going to mark a turning point and the show was going to go all edgy from that point on, but thankfully that doesn't seem to be the case.

I take back what I said about Ozin last episode, because she was just over-the-top silly and I could not take her seriously.

I kind of agree with this, she's written way too edgy for me as is. really dislike her but am willing to have my mind changed.

on another note, how freaking old is Ozen?! she was a white whistle 50 years ago, meaning she is at least 65 years old (you can't become a blue whistle until you're 15)... my mind is blown lmfao she must be ancient but looks so young

also the reveal about riko being stillborn is super dark. i like it (although i didn't like the delivery through Ozen). i am excited to see what else is revealed about the abyss. I agree that Reg is somehow linked to Lyza since he was even written about in her notes. Reg must be pretty old too if Lyza knew him

Ozen reminds me of Japanese trope of a teacher that will beat shit out of you, insult you and almost do no actual teaching, but somehow is a great teacher and everybody loves him/her.
I hate that trope because it's unhealthy (movie "Whiplash" showed it perfectly), advocates abuse parent.
She is that 'cool edgy anime character' role in the story and it's great, but it felt really weird when she almost killed both of them, lied to them; and then everybody is chill about it like it was nothing.
Also for their training she just leaves her in forest for 10 days.

Everything else about this episode was perfect. Only this part of plot annoyed me enough to vent here.

this is by far my favorite episode from this series

they made ozen just amazing! even though she's frightening she really does care
and they made ozen very scary at some parts (i was scared a little myself)

also that twist did fool me.. eheh

learning about Riko was frightening, and ozen's personality was executed really well!

ozen i think is probably my fav character so far i just really like her personality and character <3

i hope the series becomes better and better with every episode, instead of going downhill :)


rating - 9/10

Em.. So.. You was born in different circumstances, Riko, I guess.. Em.. Ok?..
Well, it seems that Ouzen has either some problems with the current system.. Of beliefs in Abyss, religion surrounding it, and how some relics aren't being written down, and some facts are being hidden.. Or either she likes it this way.. I'm not too sure, if she's upset with state of things or not.. Maybe both..
Hm.. I wonder, how long it'd take for Regu and Riko to gain some "skills" Ouzen is talking about.. I mean, would it require some months or even years of training?.. Do Regu and Riko have such time, being worried about Lyza?.. Don't know..
Well, Ouzen is interesting character.. It's too unclear in what she believes in, though.. So I don't understand her too much.. But her manner of being cold, and saying some questionable shit, while still being a good woman - is quite interesting.. As well as what she says is interesting, but yeah, it still remains a question of what side is she on in these questions of how society works.. Does she like it?.. Or she doesn't?.. Or both at the same time?.. Not too sure.. Still, it's interesting..

Well I knew poor kids never stood a chance against Ozen. I’m very surprised by her unusual personality. She is damn hard to predict and she looks so fine af for someone who has been white whistle for 50 + years.

Lets see how that serious survival challenge will go for our protagonists

Great episode.

Ozen the irredeemable, truly. The first half had me flinch and totally lose my cool at how Ozen was beating them around. That was a quite surprising - I didn't know I was so invested in the main characters to feel that affected by her "testing" them.

Second half was a turnaround though, I'm curious to discover more about Ozen's past now

Ozen was damn intense in this episode but I have to say, this would have been a great episode if the whole confrontation with Reg didn't feel so stretched out and if the dialogue at times wasn't so goddamn corny to listen to while Ozen was trying to intimidate Reg massively to 'test' the two of them. This whole thing clearly feels like it could have happened in at least 3/5th of the time and be better off that way. I will say though, the revelation about Riko and the vessel itself was interesting and the mysteries in general can be fascinating too if presented the right way. Felt like this episode had the potential to be awesome but it missed the mark for me.

Ozen doesn't go light on Reg, poor kid.

She's so strong and badass in her armor, but that was just a test, the depths of the Abyss has things more terrifying than her.

Lyza was her student.

Survive for ten days without firing that laser, in an Abyss jungle full of weird creatures, this won't be easy.

Holy crap Ozen is harsh. She made that monster using the vessel...though, it did save Riko's life.
This anime is made in such a cute way yet there are parts that are so creepy and flipping dark.

I'm assuming Ozen's 'wedges' are relics.
She was just testing them, though, she's still sadistic. Sadistic probably because she went down so far and lost her marbles (hence scars).
So she was Lyza's mentor thus cares what happens to Riko after all.

Damn it was some intense first half, poor Riko and Reg being played by Ozen that way. As I said in my previous post too, really like Ozen as a character, and this episode just made it a bit more. Now to see how both of them will survive there for a whole ten days.

Ozen was pretty intense and she even got carried off. Still, children receive some really harsh punishment. I feel like this world has harsher standards.

Oh geez I thought it's the end for them. But is it true that the Riko was already dead and she was placed inside the cube and started moving? So it can make dead ppl alive?

Ozen is pretty scary here but she was the mentor of the Lyza.

Some unacceptable behavior by Ozen. We are expected to forgive her and accept this was all an act.

No. The things said and done are unforgivable. By accepting her excuse and her leadership the story does not only break the integrity of the main characters, but of the narrative overall. Just like Riko's psychology, the story died a little here.

After you cross certain points you cannot come back from it.

Reg, as expected, underperformed because of intimidation tactics and distractions, but there was indeed a fight, just not over the whistle. Wonder where Ozen got the Thousand-Men Wedges from? The name carries various implications.
