Reveal what? She doesn't know he's a cyborg.

What are you talking about? She doesn't know about the system and the cyborgs, just like Natsume. She was wondering why Kabu disappeared all of a sudden and where he went, because she thinks he's just a gear. Humans know about the gears, but they don't know that they are cyborgs.

lol you ain't getting it. She doesn’t know about system, but words can spread right? Just like Kabu, there are other cyborgs who are responsible to dispose of bugs. Now imagine Kurenai talked about it with other tankers, and a cyborg who knows Kabu has been detained heard that, reported to system.

I'm talking about this.

Oh sorry, now I get what you mean! I'm so dumb, lol. But we may assume that Natsume might mistakenly reveal about him as well, at this point. I guess it's not a problem, we're 8 episodes in and so far we haven't seen other cyborgs like Kabu. If there was anyone else responsible to dispose of bugs, Kabu would probably have that in mind and it would have been mentioned.

Great episode, that storage room scene was awesome and it did really remind of Monsters Inc. lmao. They did pretty well showcasing how broken and terrifying Hugins is. And I gotta say Jill's avatar looks really great, and it's also good to see Kaburagi back in his old avatar. Well not that I'm surprised that Turkey is a snitch, with the voice and look alone you could tell he a snitch.

Starting to enjoy this show a lot more now.

Heist over at the Collector's area is just step one of this grand scheme and, to make matters worse, Hugin probably is edging close and there's a traitor in the ranks. Damn, there's a long way to go and hopefully it won't turn out to be too rushed by the end of the cour.

Natsume and Kurenai-san simultaneously punching the lights out of Kabu-san was quite the treat too, lol.

Another complex episode that added more questions in return. Obviously there was a lot of questions surrounding Kabu's plan. Its successful rate was surely very low. Even that cyborg that together with Sark, like i said on the previous episode, finally revealed his true intentions. I know he must be working with Hugin to solved the situations in the undergrounds facility. However, what his exact deals? Minato must had something unexpected to do in the next episode without even noticing it to Kaburagi. Was he joined the rebellion or not? I can't judge it for now. Because sometimes, i feel like Minato characteristic was not worthy enough to be trusted so far. However, beside the mystery behind what happened between Minato, Kaburagi, and their explanations in the end, some certain missing parts must be filled in the next episodes, or else, it must be so much dissapointment for me.

What parts that were missing on this episode? First, Jill and her surfaces team, and how she could easily sabotaged that placed and easily infiltrated. Was Jill had a same condition like Minato and Kaburagi? I mean, look at her skilled when hacking Minato's access log. She must be really skillful there. Why she even ended there? What was her mistake afterall? So much mystery with her situations, there. It should be really paid off if it showed me more about Jill.

Seconds, what that cyborg with Sark doing while in the avatar storage facility? Was he worked with Hugin really truth? How? The mystery surrounding that cyborg just make this episode felt so interesting. I just, needed more explanations about it.

Third, the logical explanations about stealing the avatar and used it to login still blurred to me. How come the avatar became alive again? The procedure? It will be nice if it showed me how he could login again to that blank avatar of Kabu-san.

Natsume had a little screen time here, its so sad. Well, maybe the next episode had a lot of her? Or maybe another explanations behind the cyborg's rebellion? Lets seen the next one!

What they are trying to pull here should not resolve the main conflict of the series but there are only 4 episodes left so ofc. it will... v.v


The main conflict, in my opinion , must be to established the good relations between cyborg, the company, and human among a balanced life order. So far the company just controlled everything too wild with the system they had. Its not give any other races to have their own freedom. Even with most of cyborg too, they just have a false freedom. So, thats why the bug problems become a point of conflict. Its make Kaburagi's mind open about the mistake and want to changed it. The question here, can everyone wants to accept the sudden change? Its truly the challenged of Kabu's plan. Thats what i learn so far. Lol

What's going on here?

I thought after defeating mission impossible, we saw there were much more Gadoll on the outside world than we thought.

At the same time, the lake beneath Deca-dence make Gadoll. I thought manufacturing Gadoll themselves would only help the people up top if they continued to live in their bubbled world.

So, why does it make sense to manufacture Gadoll when you're already exposed to Gadoll in the outside world? Doesn't seem to benefit anyone. Are we really supposed to believe they're doing it for population control because why not move towards actual Gadoll nests instead of having a factory of them?

In my opinion, this anime is getting worse.

Starting to get concerned about the direction we’re going just because it feels like they’re quickly heading to an ending that won’t be able to tie everything off nicely; as is, this episode kinda aggressively moved forward many of the overlying plot points.

I’m inclined to agree a season 2 will probably be needed, so I hope that’s the direction they chose.

Really hoping Jill is a Solid Quake agent, otherwise the ease with which she infiltrated the avatar storage center was far too great.

If you watch episode 5.5, you can see her as a member of Solid Quake's Story & Design Department, so she was more than just a rank-and-file Gear before she ended up in the camp.

One of my favorite episodes! Can someone explain what that "pleasure gun" was for? I'm thinking it's a sex toy but it could be something else?


Anyway, Jill is my best girl. Also, daddy Kabu is back in his original body. I have a feeling Minato will protect him but that other guy (I forgot his name) the one who snapped the other guy's neck will obviously cause them trouble.

I do hope that Kaburagi's friend will help him when he will need that.

That ending...That guy is just so easy to manipulate, but let's see if he will be able to betray Kaburagi.

What else could it be? It was written "ultimate pleasure" on the box and Hugin told Minato that "as long as he uses it in private he doesn't care." I guess it's not that hard to deduce that yes, it was a sex toy.

I agree, but unfortunately I can't really imagine it getting a season 2 due to how many people seemingly dropped it on episode 2 due to them either not understanding what's going on, or getting angry that it wasn't exactly what they were expecting it to be (or both).
Actually this show has been doing quite decently in japan being the 5th most popular, although i still dont think a second season will happen, just because its an original, death parade did not have one, and i dont think this will have one either

Every single episode makes me wonder why this isn't more popular.

No self-insert protagonist, no waifus, no ships, no SUKOI DEKAIs and no pre-existing fanbase. Some people couldn't handle the different artstyle, some of them couldn't handle the plot twist, and some of them are too dumb to even understand the plot. The anime community is full of normies who reject anything that's slightly different and would rather watch the same shit over and over again.

I enjoy Re:ZERO a lot (probably my favourite this season), but I'll say that Deca-Dence has a friendlier fanbase.


They're easily the best shows of the season, although I'm not watching Oregairu season 3. So maybe that's also up there, as the last two seasons of Oregairu were high quality. As far as I'm concerned, Wednesday is the best anime day right now because of Re:Zero and Deca-Dence. Let's just ignore Gibiate.

Another stellar episode. So much tension during the turbine sequence. I seriously had anxiety watching. Funny outcome though.

Last scene is quite worrying.

Also, smug Natsume was great.

I agree that this show isn't the smartest show, not even close. I like this show, but I'm not gonna pretend this show is genius.
I think the problem was that the first 2 episodes were a bit confusing, but as the show progressed they explained everything. Personally I have no problem with that (sometimes it adds to the show), but my guess (since surprisingly I can't read minds) is that a lot of people think that not explaining straight away=bad writing.
Another reason is what I think people mean by saying "casuals". it's not the regular storyline of most anime, therefore it's less popular. Every season there are shows like that, and only a few shows actually manage to get good scores (like Great Pretender). this show suffers from this even more then other shows because it marketed itself as a more standard (or "casual" if you prefer) show, and people who prefer standard shows did not enjoy this. again, Great Pretender marketed itself as a different show since the beginning, hence the reason it has a smaller number of members but a higher rating.

Yet again my brother and I rushed to the new Deca-Dence episode and it did not disappoint.

Really glad that Kabu got back his old avatar, since I'm not the biggest fan of the redhead design, and the chase scene was really intense. The sex toy joke was probably one of the funniest bits I've seen in anime, and Hugin's reaction was just so damn good.

Seeing Kaburagi and Natsume reunite was really nice, though something deep inside me kinda hoped that Kabu would break free from the prison and reunite with Natsume in his android form.

Just gotta wait two more days for the next episode.

Damn, I'm loving the parallels between Kabu and Minato's friendship compared to Natsume and Fei; Minato and Fei are content to live within the system and accept their place, while Natsume has inspired Kabu to rage against their respective machines. Awesome characterization~!!

The tension of Kabu knowing the truth behind the veil but not being able to say anything is so good. I'm wondering when he's gonna spill the beans to Natsume. Will she guess beforehand, and piece it together? It seems they could be hinting at that. Does Kurenai know??
