Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction (ONA) Episode 10 Discussion

What is that white stuff coming out of the mothership? If it's not water vapor, what is it? Has the mothership been on earth for too long maybe? Maybe it has something to do with Element F being used for too long and the mothership is coming down soon? I mean from the looks of it the scientists aren't too hopeful for Element F and what it might end up doing in the future

Also ngl I'm siding with the aliens. I have been for a few episodes now but yeah

So yeah at this rate both the humans and the invaders are all going to die probably

Also so the aliens aren't too weak but it's that the humans are too strong?

So did the invaders just really think the creatures living in the boxes will just not fight back and be their pets? I'm so confused with these invaders. If they want to take over this planet why have their mother ship just been sitting in the sky for so long? They do have advanced technology but they just keep sending ships of these invaders down to get shot down and killed.

Damn ok maybe I judged the humans and JDSF too harshly. If the invaders were planning to use humans as pets.. taking them out as soon as they land might have been the right choice. Of course that could just be the thoughts of the one little kid invader, but the adults didn’t really seem to push back on that idea either..

It’s funny how in every reality Ontan and Kadode are destined to find an invader, befriend it and find that tool as well. Hopefully this time around it doesn’t get as dark as that first timeline did. Still waiting on some explanation as to Ontan’s abilities and how they work, but it seems like subconsciously she still has the memories of that first timeline.. interesting.

Oba also learns at an astounding pace. He’s already improved his language skills and knows how to play video games, probably even better than Ontan lol. He definitely knows more about what’s going on than he lets on.

The campus massacre was brutal. I wish the Japanese government would capture one alive and at least try talking to them rather than just shooting on sight. Seems like they’d at least want to get a motive and try to find out what the invaders are after. It’s just cruel to shoot them down in broad daylight when they have no weapons on them and are fleeing.

New element gets discovered that could possibly take humans to the next evolutionary stage and instead of using it for medical or scientific advancement, we use it for weapons lol.

That doesn’t look like an appropriate workplace relationship at all there at the end.. what are they building with element F.. every episode I come out with more questions than answers and I love it. Show continues to be amazing

@Alkimia I'm not siding with anyone but given my other comment, I can see why after months of silence (they tried peacefully first) and then sudden invasions, I understand the humans, though killing people without weapons instead of arresting them is totally off for me. Way too much man, you can't just do that but the fact that they can speak the language but refuse to talk is REALLY not helping. Just for the love of God after months why do you not say anything?

The part with Oba digging around of Ouran's memories, while solid, could have been a bit longer in my opinion, but the rest of the episode was good. Got to see glimpses of what the future has in store too through her memories. More scenes of the invaders being brutalized too by the military there, pretty graphic stuff which makes the world feel even more unsettling. The invaders really felt like those most of those beings living in boxes would be accepting of them entering their planet. Pretty effective buildup episode that makes Ouran's character and the overall situation with the world feel even more complex to watch.

I watched episode zero lil bro. Also cool it with the patronising.

I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t be thinking about anything other than the characters and the story but the premise is looking stupider and stupider after watching this episode. The more they show the invaders and their backstories, the dumber I feel the basic premise is. The writers are trying to get empathy for the invaders (or at least see their side) but how stupid are these higher life forms??? They show up out of the blue to a new Inhabited planet (with their kids believing the inhabitants would be pets) without saying Hi first and wonder why they are being shot at? Then they hang out for a few years hovering while not reaching out because they don’t have to worry about us (and our feeble weapons), but constantly flying reconnaissance missions? Then when humans figure out how to destroy them WE are the villains? Oh BTW, they can’t breathe our air but decided to come anyway? The outcome was foretold a couple episodes ago and implied again today. If that’s the outcome anyway, why not wipe us out first so they could live here happily and without helmets? I’m too far in to drop but come on…

The episode is fine, nothing fundamentally bad about it, it's just that after reading the source material, the pacing and way the anime rearranged the order of elements within the plot and certain moods, comes off as weird.
