The cumulation of the past 3 episodes helped set up the cinema we got in this episode, the dub did miss in certain sections but this episode moved me.

I saw a comment that made a certain amount of sense. Moon was shot in the side of the head, but E-Soul is behind her. So is there anyone else there?
@PokeChess well she was hit by Electricity....so unless there was another person who have Electric powers,
It definitely was E-SOUL

Also, anyone have any idea what number of animation styles we're remotely on now? I think it's probably like 7 or 8 now with some of those crazy good ones now.
@Eragonnogare can you say which are those like what episode or parts, I mostly just watch and people like you say these, I feel like I'm dumb and idk which are those different styles for me was just 3D and 2D in anime and comic type and with his nice's friend friend was kinda anime style but stil was close to a comic so I justn counted 3, I didn't count to 8

Such a WTF ep

This ep was a rollercoaster of emotions, from happiness to sadness quickly (1 to 10 and back to 1) , literally teared up a bit.

The fight animation between Lin Ling and God eye was fking amazing and the way he lost trust and regained it was simply so beautiful to see. That's what it means to be a hero, when all odds are stacked against you, you must find a way to prevail.

Just when I thought it would be a great reunion with the two, what looks to be "possibly"

kills Moon and she dies the same way she died in ep 1.

Straight peak even if we are done with this arc of Lin Ling / Nice,

JUST WOW

@nexustom there's the 3d style, the main 2d comic book style, the black and white style from the boss's backstory/explanation in episode 1, the more standard anime type of 2D style, the very sketchy unique new style when Lin Ling was dragging his fist along the edge this episode, the other flashy detailed style as Lin Ling did his big punch this episode, the super simple cute artstyle for Moon's backstory in episode 2, arguably the different type of 2 style used in the flashback sequences in episode 3.... Those are the ones I could remember or find fairly quickly. Even if you don't count one or two of them, that's at least like 6 or 7, but plausibly like 8, and I may have missed one.

This episode was PEAK it's so insane
I had been doubting if this series would actually be good because of the pacing so far, but I'm still super interested by the world concept, and things yet to be revealed. I suppose it is normal for this type of show to be fast paced, and I did really like what we got in the ending of this arc with lin ling. Several people had been telling him to "just be himself" and then he finally did, (unlike nice i'm presuming, who maybe lost his sense of self at some point)
I was expecting earlier that moon would die (LH0 PLEASE WHY) it was shown in e1 after all... But what I was totally not expecting is that it's another hero who kills her??? That was e-soul wasn't it

Also according to an interview with LH0, we will get more about the original nice later... will wreck show up again too?

I'm also really wondering how connected the plot will be. It ended off with e-soul killing moon, and e-soul's episodes are next up, so what will e5 be? Backstory? Will it continue after that last scene?

That's just another vision or whatever the f*ck that is right? Like ffs man? Come on.

What is this production value. Seriously it's nuts. This single handedly changed my perception on animation. I expected Ling Ling to come to this realisation and become a hero as he is but not this fast. The ending scene suggests a big scale tournament so guessing this was a prologue for his character. Also props to Hanae Natsuki, he really has become the perfect seiyuu for this kind of situations. Delivering raw emotions which reached the viewers both in anime and irl.

I hope the whole anime budget didn't go onto this episode, it was insanely good. I want more, please don't say that they didn't have money for special effects for the other episodes this season.

Also, on one hand I want the gf to be dead for good this time. On the other hand, it would be a funny running joke if she dies at the end of the episode 5-6 times and every time for it to turn out to be a premonition of the mc

E-SOUL, YOU BITCHASS, I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!

Man, they should have just kept Moon dead at the first episode, they had to go ahead and make us attached to her ๐Ÿ˜ญ.

Though that's just me speaking personally, without Moon, we wouldn't have Lin Ling's amazing development. No matter what, Lin Ling's my GOAT, Lin Ling's my MC.

But what the hell was that, that definitely wasn't no coincidence that the way Moon laid dead there was the same as Lin Ling's dream in episode 1.

What an incredible fucking show. Ballsy move to end there right before E-Soul's arc.

Great development of Lin Ling! We saw more details now about how the trust-based power system works — words in this world really wield a lot of power.

AND THAT CLIFFHANGER THAT CONNECTS TO THE FIRST EPISODE WAS LIKE...????

Not just that, but the character who shot Yueqing really looks like one of the top ten heroes we saw in the promotional content for the show.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of the top heroes! Maybe the one who appeared at the end will be the new focus character?

R.I.P for MOON. For this episode, it stunned me for a while. I didn't think it would have such a twist... It was a sign from first episode. I can't wait for the next episode. E-Soul, why did you do this!!!

The antagonist's fake moon to lure Lin Ling out was successful and the public learns Nice is dead, but people seeing how he would risk it all for moon has given them belief in his real self. A new hero is born, The Commoner.

Lin Ling did have a premonition in episode 1, after all.
