last episode of the three episode rule so the episodes from now on will be slower and easier to understand. will have to rewatch this episode again since i still didn't fully understand the clown guy and his purpose, although now he's dead so there may be no point in doing that.
| @KingShisui antigonus book, that was the clown's purpose, he wants the book. |
| Go read 'Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece' If you like webnovel with historical, military and kingdom building genre. |

Lots of info are missing. Pacing still fast. Let's see if they can finish this season with higher note.

what are you talking. it was a very fine episode
| @supremeone55 A lots of info are missing compared to Light Novel. Not necessarily a bad thing. But these info were very helpful to give more depth to the overall narrative. I am still seeing many of us still can't grasp core storyline (because of fast pacing), so episodes needs to be a little bit slowed down. Show some mundane tasks done Klein, which are needed for him to understand his power. One example from today's episode is Azik. He is not Klein's direct professor, an assistant of Klein's professor as far as I can remember. Anime is covering the core base of story, but depth is missing. This anime never meant to be a 13 episodes anime. Yes, episodes are 36-38 minute long. But still, not enough. |
| I preferred the part of the novel instead for the scene of the clown guy getting back up and saying “Hornacis” (happens differently). It was super creepy in the novel and you can see Klein freaking out a lot more about it, to the point he gets traumatized. |
| THIS IS A REAL TV SHOW LOL, GREAT EPISODE |

@PraiseTheWorld Yes, I saw him mention that, I just don’t understand how some fog could have the same effect as someone slapping you to snap you out of a daze. You know what I mean? I thought that was what Klein meant when he said he needed something or someone to break the clown’s control and bring him back to reality. I just don’t get how some fog was able to do that, that’s what genuinely confused me, haha.

ok, thing I can tell you is that the puppet were doing manipulation on soul not body, the slap was also too make the soul jolt up. it would be explained more in 3rd season. so I can only tell you this.
| @supremeone55 No problem, that was more than enough. I thought his control was physical, but if it was mental, then that makes a lot more sense, especially since his shackles suddenly shattered out of nowhere. Thanks for pointing that out! |
| Not a lot to comment on this episode. I mean the action was pretty good, so what more is there to say? I do wonder how Klein knows the Clown Potion is genuine, is that his [Seer]ability helping him out or will he need to somehow verify it first? |
| This is an Absolute Masterpiece |
 |
| Somehow this fight felt a bit closer to what the action scenes in Mo Dao Zu Shi are. Last time the approach was different (or I was too immersed and I am misremembering some of the details). I dislike the clown guy being killed, in a way he helped MC at least twice. Also can the Secret Order's agents get contradicting orders? |
| It's insane to think that we are already here. Beautiful animation once again. |

A minute in, and it already feels like they skipped another year of the plot. Just a moment ago, they showed the main character all happy, finally moving into a new house, providing for his family, and in the next episode, they’re suddenly talking about some random book. Then, in the next scene, it’s like the MC hasn’t even left the previous case. By the way, I totally lost it at the detective scene when they randomly threw in a lightning strike sound and effect at the end of the dialogue—like, what was the point? It wasn’t even raining outside!
The epic music with bass-heavy badaboom at every opportunity is pure gold—guess without it, the viewer would fall asleep and forget they’re watching an “unforgettable” 6969-volume light novel story. So, in their massive organization, is the MC really the only seer they’ve got? Like, the MC fails once, and they immediately have to call in a bunch of agents and use a deadly dangerous doll just to figure out they need to follow their only lead? Couldn’t they just send some dude on a bike to scout it out?
I’ll say it again—the characters’ faces here are so bland. At first, I didn’t even recognize the MC; he looked like a 15-year-old in the opening scene. The captain guy has a face I swear I’ve seen in five other anime. Literally the same face as Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan.
The whole fight scene reeks of some Russian action flick—everything’s gotta be flashy and over-the-top, with constant camera shakes and flips. It’s also giving Korean RPG vibes, where a character can’t just swing an axe—they have to do somersaults and spin in a cloud of sparkles and fart-glitter just to hit a boar.
Looks like the only ones not used in the first episode’s plot were the bakery girl and that rat with the cat, though maybe they’ll turn out to be mages or villainous villains too. So, the MC managed to kill the clown because, what, nothing works on him, and he’s just special? And then the doll just shuts down because its battery died? I thought it was some separate entity from the clown.
Someone mentioned the captain’s forgetfulness is another Chekhov’s gun hinting at some illness. Could they have made that scene more obvious? Like, he coughs six to eight times, and then after that scene, he just stops coughing entirely, as if the writers were like, “Yup, we showed everything we needed to.” The guy learns the word “clown” from the clown who tried to kill him, and it’s presented like some grand mystery—okay, sure.
Anyway, I’m dropping this. No idea why anyone would watch this mess. The creators will probably dump a ton of disjointed nonsense in the next episode too and say, “Just wait, it’ll get really good next time, trust us!”

supremeone55 said: he didn't, You didn’t paщ attention in that scene or...you are trolling. supremeone55 said: clown guy and jekkins were from same organisation This is why asked, could that organisation give somehow contradicting tasks... Like Jenkins gave the notebook to the family,, but the clown wanted it back...something more complex was going on. Or another option would be a combined scheme to gain Klein's trust - Jenkins playing the bad guy, the clown playing the saviour...just it happened that Jenkins was caught. supremeone55 said: literally tried to kill every nighthawk Are we actually sure of that? He only wanted the notebook, He could simply ditch them out and my guess is that is exactly he wanted to do. Yes, most likely that would’ve kill them, but obviously he didn't care about their lives. Also why proposing a deal the Klein, even obstructing the others to heard that (which would be pointless if he was intending to kill them anyway)? From his perspective he could take the notebook from Klein...and went for strike only because Klein didn't gave it. But whatever, you are trolling, so goodbye |

| Amazing episode 10/10 Clown fight with Klein and co. Was insane. Justin Bieber's cousin moster form was more funny than scary. Klein chanting celestial worthy name in middle of puppets control was cool af. Lord of mysteries is acting as perfect media literacy taste for lots of folks here. |
Reply to Threee
I did not read the novel, but the anime seems like the usual ordinary guy ends up in another world and he is an overpowered genius there, everything goes well for him.
For example, in episode 3 he as a new member, who can't fight, was sent on a highly dangerous mission. Why? Because he is the protagonist. Of course the team almost got wiped out, but he saved the day.
I heard so many good things about the novel, I guess they just couldn't adapt it well.

| @OrigamistToo this is , kinda very funny response and sounds like tantrum. because every thing you said is your personal opinion and just you being failed to understand many things in last three episodes |
| I’m not sure how this is getting so much love. I’m sure for the readers this is great, but for anime only, this shit doesn’t make any sense. There’s so many unanswered things that more everything so confusing. What is the gray fog, what are sequences, who helped him during the fight, and who was the guy and the girl from the first episode? |

| @cooldogmom it's literally called lord of mysteries LoL it's supposed to not answer everything from get go. Gray fog and sequence pathways are final level stuff. It's like asking why how eren could control titans in season 3 Also readers didn't know what this things actually is until the last few volumes. Mysteries in this show are always like this.

| @OrigamistToo Some random book? You mean the well-known book that made original Klein kill himself? OK. Yes, the placement of the Benson-introduction scene was weird, but in ep 2 Klein said that the apartment near the kidnapping case one is somehow related to the book. Klein has been there before and gave the book to Ray Bieber. During the kidnapping case he had a weird feeling and later dreamed about it, that's how he figured it out. If Klein's divination failed, why would another seer's one succeed? Nighthawks have only the 9th sequence, they don't have someone with stronger divination. And why couldn't Klein just throw stones at others to wake them up, for example, so that later they could capture the doll? It seems like you just don't like the show, so your mind tries to find things to nag about. Just drop it or don't spread nonsense. |
