Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals discovered an abandoned mobile city on the outskirts of Ryu'umon and sent a reconnaissance team to conduct a field investigation and verify the presence of survivors. However, communication with the team was lost, prompting Amiya to decide to head to the mobile city herself for a rescue mission. Wei-san truly messed everything up. i haven't commented much, but it's clear that the fight between Ch'en and Hoshiguma was quite epic. Although they are friends, their battle was serious. Before the fight, Ch'en casually mentioned the sister—what was that about? Ch'en left Hoshiguma and departed from the city. The episode was quite epic, and i really enjoyed that fight. |

| I’ve just accepted that I’m probably never gonna really understand the story here and the gaps between the seasons coming out doesn’t help 😭 I love the art style, animation and voice acting though so we move. I’m going to play the game, SOME DAY. This ch’en arc seems like it’s going to be very emotional though considering what we saw happen with FrostNova from last season. If the infected get euthanized.. doesn’t bode well for her. Hopefully Amiya can save her. In just one episode I did get kinda invested in Ch’en’s family story and she seems like the sort of person to try to carry a lot of burden on her own. The voice acting performances in this were so emotional. The fight with Hogishuma was awesome and said all you needed to know about their relationship. Every strike was an exchange of feelings. Very well directed start to the season too. No OP, no ED. Just feels. |

| Absolute god-tier VA work from Shizuka Ishigami. Rise From Ember is off to a good start. Hoshiguma and Ch'en's fight scene could have been a little more bright but both that and Ch'en's confrontation with Wei Yenwu were great. First big reveal of the arc is also done. |

Good bye, FrostNova. One enemy I remember from the last Season. So they euthanize the infected? WTF?
| @Sheol01 The "Integrated Bioprocessing Unit" is a fancy name for an incinerator. FrostNova was already dead, so the Doctor took her body to be cremated. It's a necessity, as when Infected die, the crystallization of their bodies will advance rapidly, until the entire body turns into a big chunk of Originium, which then explodes into extremely fine dust that can and absolutely will infect anyone who happens to be nearby to inhale it. |

@Benzux OK, I feel a bit better now. It would seem counter to what Rhodes Island has been portrayed as.
| @Sheol01 It hasn't been explicitly mentioned anywhere, but as a pharmaceutical company specialized in handling Infected patients, I do imagine that Rhodes Island does have some sort of euthanasia policy, or at the very least end of life care support for those infected patients who are on death's door, but yeah, the Integrated Bioprocessing Unit is just a crematorium. As Rosmontis alluded to, many of Rhodes Island's infected Operators have gone on their final journey through it. Their personal effects and other relics tend to not be burned with them, however, and are instead taken to a place called the Reliquary room, which is sort of like a graveyard where people can go to pay their respects for the dead. |

| I really missed this whole bleak feeling I get from the animation. Good episode to begin a season, remembering where they left off, where they are going, lore, some hands being thrown, Rosmontis appear, see Hoshiguma. |

| Quite the ruse the enemy had enacted with chernobog. Destruction if you do nothing infamy if you do. In the end Frostnova at least managed to get a burial compared to the yeti's who were killed to a man. Forget paralysis from that recording looks like Ursus is in civil war. The slums though brought destruction upon themselves. Chen as ever was just fantastic in her display of her skill with the blade. Looks like its clear who has the real power between Fumizuki and Wei lol. That dual between Chen and Hoshiguma was pretty sad but nontheless dramatic. |

| Loved this episode. Im really invested in this world and the characters. The Arknights anime is really good at conveying the emotions of characters and the difficult situations they face. When the first season aired I was honestly really suprised a gacha-game adaptation could be this good. This first episode was brilliant. Lets see if they can continue their high level from the previous seasons |

Frostnova already died in season 2 so they don't exactly euthanise them. It's a cremation chamber for dead Rhodes Island personnel.
That happens to every Infected that dies as they basically explode if their corpses are left to rot as the Originium in their body releases gas, making them essentially a ticking time bomb that can always infect new people, which is also why they are so heavily discriminated against.
nvm i see your question was already answered

| such a good episode shit looked fire and the voice acting so good |
 |
| Nothing's changed, still incredible quality all around. 👏🏻 Looking forward to more. |
| Really nice to see this back again, I don't play the game but have enjoyed the anime. I like how Ch'en decided to make matters into her own hands like that, even if she becomes an enemy, she is a real badass. |

| What an excellent continuation of a hidden gem of an anime series. The Hoshiguma and Chen fight was outstanding. |

| Rosmo saying she's used to taking care of cremation is sad. But it's necessary and abandoning the process would only lead to more tragedy. You'll be remembered frostnova. At the very least her face looked happy in the end. Chen fighting hoshi was just too emotional. Now I understand why she left lungmen and got an alter. Bakutie said: never get on hoshigumas bad side, almost felt like she was trying to kill chen x-x Honestly aside from the shield throw, hoshi tried to pin her down and incapacitate her. I always see chen as this angry blob who can't catch a break and calm down. But it seems despite her usual demeanor, she's quite soft and kind at heart. She's stubborn but compassionate. |

| Great episode. Great to see the animation quality even better than last season, it's been in the works for around 2 years and it's fully in house, so really looking forward to the more crazier parts this season that the animation will truly shine. Great pacing also for this episode, sequencing the Ch'en Hoshi fight earlier so it flowed well right after the office scene. And speaking of the fight scene it was just raw where you could feel every kick, punch, and throw, and the Chi Xhao animation was stellar. And that's with it sheathed, breaking Hoshi's Hanma like that. And man they really ramped up Wei here, which was a great decision and showed a different side of him. He's a complex character and so far that's been shown quite well. Overall great first episode, really looking forward to this season. 9/10 |
 |
overall a great start to this season, good to see they're giving proper screen time to the key scenes so far |
| Quite a good start for the S3 ,the conflict continue between Chen and the Lungmen chief aka her stepfather,time for Chen to Rebel has come, i thought we Will get 16 eps in this S3 but MAL instead give it 10 eps, there is no way they Will finish chp 7-8 in 10 eps only. |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| That was intense! Big props to Ishigami Shizuka and Yasuno Kiyono for their stellar performances! If you didn't know, Hoshiguma's VA also voices Kato Megumi which is even more amazing. Can't wait for episode 2!  |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| I like the animation. Let's see how they will be fighting out there. |

| all gacha games adaptations should take note of arknights. great come back, I did kind of have a little hope that frostnove was just sleeping but it's not that easy and it would've just throw away all the emotions of the previous season. |
| FROSTNOVA T_T We'll never have her as playable. . Tho we got lil'Rosy, so cute. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |

 What I saw that day... the despair stuck in my throat, the futile attempts to scream... I want to bury it all deep inside my mind and never let it out again... -Amiya |
| Hm so Wei cares for Ch'en? I didn't expect that. Yesss go auntie! Show him. How dare he say that to our Rhodes Island and our precious bunny. Amiya sure is kind cuz if it were me, I would have turned my back on Wei and Lungmen.  |
