| waiting a whole week is so long but so worth it each time (': |
| im still confused with the power level. Do the human sides have super power other than shinpei? because i swear the shadows are retarded. Even though Hizuru posses superhuman strength but that doesnt mean shes strong than hide or haine. |
 |
| Right off the bat, Shinpei has to deal with these big shadow bastards when he’s basically at the end of his loops. Fucking Haine…..the little bitch has to go! Not only has Shinpei been copied, Haine in Shadow Shinpei form has split the team up. This is just going from bad to worse. I hate that the team knows this is possibly a trap but have no other alternatives. But man, Poor Totsumura getting no respect lol. Nagumo won’t go down that easy, not even against that fucker Shide and his Shadow Venom form. I liked how her bro was so excited to be able to talk to her in his own form, kind of a light moment in an otherwise tense af situation. But shit, Nagumo has some insane plan and it’s gonna kill her at this rate. She’s already partly smashed to hell after just tangling with the big fucker like that. |
| With Ushio's presence gone, Shinpei starts his 8th loop with Haine in a crow body, mocking him that he's quite close to the Event Horizon, and then copying Akari like her motive's never-ending with the slew of Shadows that he couldn't defeat by himself. But in the nick of time, something caused both her and the Shadows to retreat, and this gives Shinpei the opportunity to contact the others to rethink their strategy. Unbeknownst to them, Hizuru and the others were led astray by Haine copying Shinpei in the 3rd loop and using it in this loop, leading Karakiri direct to them. A good thng that Shadow Mio was fine aside from some scuffles, but Shinpei's body and phone were both copied to the point where you couldn't tell the real from the fake, and he's faced with a dilemma to save either Hizuru or Mio's group, debunking his mentality. Mio and Sou met by Karakiri, and the rest met by Haine with guards armed up...except for Totsumura who is hilariously neglected only until noticed. That gives Hizuru/Ryuunosuke to meet Haine privately while laying the bait, and Harakiri lying in wait to kill Ryuunosuke means that they know her double-personality secret. In truth, Masahito Karakiri is the catalyst working with Haine, and he literally has no weakness that's made out of corpses in Shide's form, and no matter how much Hizuru as Ryuunosuke tries to fight her, she's limited by her own core strength. This is JJK's level of insanity, and Hizuru is ready to go beyond her limits to defeat Haine. Once and for all. The road to the end just keeps getting more hyped. |

| bro now i gotta wait a whole damn week FUUUUACK |
 |
| Hizuru/Ryuunosuke so cool there! |
My Candies 2024:    My Candies 2025:      |
| Hizuru and Ryuunosuke are strong alright!!!! Those moves were awesome!!! They need a really good strategy if they want to defeat the other two. Anyways I'm excited to see next week's episode!!! |
| If Haine's been able to maintain copies across loops this whole time, why hasn't she used it before? She could have copied Shinpei ages ago to "use his brain" and out-think him to find a way to victory, but apparently decided not to? Or is this another case where the author thought of the power midway through and just tacked it on without thinking about how little everything would make sense retroactively. More to the point, if Haine knows with absolute certainty that Shinpei is at the "cliff's edge", why isn't she just killing him to end this once and for all? I can't think of a rational reason for the character of Haine to not kill him at this point when she very clearly has the power to do so; it's clear that she's only toying with them like this because it's the only way to give the characters enough time to find a way out of this. Also, how are there two Shides and why is Ryuunosuke-Hizuru basically a superhuman? Every episode the writing delves more and more into bad shounen tropes and contrivances, and if there wasn't just six episodes left I'd probably just drop it now and move on to a show that isn't just making shit up as it goes along. I don't even care that they're well-animated fights at this point when the power scaling and general writing is this disappointing. |
| We're near the endgame bois and we need Shinpei to think fast on how to best approach this dire situation. Also Hizuru/Ryuunoske are badass AF this ep. I'm waiting for Nezu with the backup no scope assists again!!! |

TheSmitecrawler said: I'm also still a little confused about the two Shide thing so I totally understand you. What I thought at first is that the og Karikiri (human) had a baby with Haine and the child managed to copy its father memories and transfer the data to himself with Haines help before the og Karikiri died. So he could somewhat live forever. And then Haine kinda... repeated that process? with her own sons? So maybe all the new descedants from Karikiri/Haine doesn't show a shadow presence because they still have a little of human in them. Assuming that there's at least two Shides running around at this time period.I don't understand how it's possible to have 2 Shides at the same time like in the last episode or here, one at the garden and one on the island. Last time, the human form was killed by Ushio, only then being followed up by a Shide from behind. Both without shadow presence. How is this possible? There should only be one (real) Shide with this specific age. |
| seems like hizuru has a plan, but if ryunosuke keeps fighting with her body she might die our bois are in a piCkLe |

I don't even care that they're well-animated fights at this point when the power scaling and general writing is this disappointing. Haine actively used S!Shinpei this time because that is the situation where it can be more effective: Ushio is out, Shinpei can't reach them, and the crew was divided - plus, S!Shinpei also had a credible reason to make Mio and Sou incapacitate S!Mio, who also would be able to recognize S!Shinpei personally. With all of them together, Shide's side would not be able to trick Shinpei's allies using the shadow one. Also, it was clear that Haine was affected by something related with the presence of Ushio, in some form, that was stored in the shell - something who will be explained later; it's not a cheap plot device - same with the super strength of Hizuru/Ryuunosuke, whose logic was explained at episode 14 and again now. Leave it. Every episode, he tries to find the slightest flaw with as much bad faith as possible to spit on the show. And yet everything is explained or explainable if you watch the show well. All this, because the show doesn't go where he wanted it to go. |
| So both Shadow and Human Shide have Armor...damn dude that is wild!!! Ushio being dead took a back seat to Hizura being a bad ass bitch in this episode. Crazy...but with what happened in this episode with Haine calling Shinpei from Hizuru's phone...im worried...especially since all those death flags were waved. |

| Shide talking about "fairness" while essentially being the equivalent of the end boss was hilarious. Hizuru was an absolute badass in this episode, ready to sacrifice her body with a plan that Shide and Haine were kind enough to give enough time so that it could be explained to Ryuunosuke. |
 |
| OH THAT WAS BADASSSSS. ryuunosuke at the end there getting excited n all cutiee i lovw him so much😭😭 Kinddda worried abt mio and sou.. have a feeling they're gonna die. sou with a higher chance since he'll probably do anything to protect mio |
| hizuru sounded segxy when she gavbe all green to make use of her body and especailly the "go ahead and break my body" part |
deep fried lettuce   ^i snitched this from a dude's forum signature^  |
| Crazy Episode!! Hizuru and Ryuunosuke vs Shide was Insane!! but how the hell there is two Shide at the same time in different location? damn episode of Summer Time always felt like 5 mins. Every time the ending song shows up i'm yelling NOOOOO!!! |
 |
| This series is so good. Every episode has been either amazing or better than your average shows in general. I didn't expect the one who's calling Hizuru and and the rest is Haine as Shinpei. The mystery now is, how come there are two Shides existing at the same time? I thought one is real and the other is a shadow, but apparently Ryuunosuke confirms that this Shide is also a human. Except Haine keeps on giving birth to more babies which she imprints the original Shide's memories to those babies. That's fucked up. Just how fast can Ryuunosuke move? Hizuru and him are badasses! |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| oh man! the enemy is so difficult. or maybe the Haine is just intelligent and Shimpei and Co are just average IQ...lolz 5/5. |
 |
| This episode was intense! Seeing Haine right after Shinpei is out of options and finding out he was once more at his final loop was brutal. She really has a fixation on usurping the lives of little kids! I'm glad ushio's necklace seemed to ward her off for whatever reason. The kicker this episode was Haine using shadow-shinpei's mind to manipulate our heroes. But there's one thing our shinpei has that shadow shinpei doesnt, and that's Hizuru! I hope Ryunosuke's full power can take shide out for good! |
 |
| Well the title of next episode gives me hope. It's so irritating that all animes I'm watching today end on such irritating cliffhangers AAAAAAAAA I want to see the ultimate Ryoounosuke vs Shide fight. But assuming Ryounoosuke wins the fight in next episode, that doesn't explain why shadow Shinpie was calling real Shinpie through Nagumo sensei's phone. Welp whatever, we'll find it in next episode. And what was up with that sea shell? Was it Ushio??????????????? Are there are 2 Shides? I don't uderstand, there was a Shide with Mio at Alan's garden and at the same time one with Nagumo at the island. What's happening? LOL'd at Nagumo's "death flag" comment. Whatever fight we got this episode, it was pretty good unlike the night fight we got a few episodes back, that was lame. It was surprising to know Ryunoosuke never really got to talk with his onee-chan all these years, his happiness was clearly visible. Overall, a banger episode. 5/5. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Poor Ushio, I hope she will be back to life! So horrible death... |
 |
| I hope they don't kill Nagumo-sensei forever and do an deus ex-machina to bring Ushio back in the end or i will be extremely disappointed. |
| Great episode like always. Hizuru waifu of the year, so badass! I hope she doesn't die :( |
| Got pretty emotional with that episode ending! I am going to cry if anything happens to Hizuru! I need the next episode already, this anime has been so good!! |

| Another fantastic episode! It ended so fast. Early on I though Shinpei was done for until he reached into his pocket and held Ushio's necklace and for some miraculous reason it made Haine retreat! 2nd time I thought someone was done for in this episode was when Hizuru/Ryuunosuke fought Shide and then Shide regenerated! Not sure how he withstood those hits with the sledgehammer, damn! I don't know how Hizuru will get out of this predicament but the Evangelion-ish title for the next episode gives me hope! It was great that the arguably best girl of this series (can't ignore Ushio) got some great screen time. |
| Hizuru/Ryuunosuke absolutely stole this episode, there were a lot of nice up close expressions and getting to see her fight is always a treat, it was absolutely excellent here, it’s also nice to see someone besides Shinpei doing the heaviest lifting, she was super badass here holding her own against Shide/Karikiri, I wish that big sledgehammer combo did something but of course Karikiri was able to come right back from it, it was epic regardless. And we got some more explanation on why Ryuunosuke became part of Hizuru, as well as a big moment at the end of the episode where Ryuunosuke and Hizuru were able to be conscious at the same time, it was pretty funny when Ryuunosuke started killing the tension by being happy he could talk directly to his sister lol, a wholesome moment but now it’s do or die time. This was definitely one of my favorite episodes so far, totally not because I’m a Hizuru simp lol. |
| I’m so upset with this. No, not because this series is bad or anything. Far from it, it’s the best thing airing rn. I’m just upset with how things played out for the main duo. I just wanted Haine and the 4-armed shadow dead at the hands of the duo. Poor Ushio won’t be there for it if/when it happens 😭 Most upsetting thing is that we’re gonna have to wait till the end of the week for another ep… |
| After Shide gone, the story can be back on track again, I hope. It is such an overpowered creature, it's irritating. The phone thing trap was a little too convenient for the shadows as well as Ushio's dead last episode. When all hope is gone, there is still Shadow Mio haha Hizuru don't die. I guess she should be able to beat Shide if nothing else. |

| This episode goes against the usual pattern, 1 positive episode followed by 1 negative. So either the next episode is even more feels or things will get "good" for a while. Ushio gotta comeback, not sure how but she has to comeback, and about Ryunosuke...there's a chance that this might be their last fight. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| It's no stretch that power levels indeed aren't the very best this series has to offer, because Hizuru beating the heck out of Shide seems a bit too much even if we take her being controlled by the shadow of Ryuunosuke a thing into consideration. Though those scenes were neatly animated, no second thoughts there. |
