I personally have no idea how they can finish up this series with only 8 more episodes since they haven't
I hope they don't rush things even more.

Legretta kept forgetting that she had guns :/

and why the heck did Van even hesitate in killing the old people? he was planning to kill them anyway, this was just speeding up his timetable a bit.

and why did Sync kill himself? it would have made more sense if he'd spent the last of his life trying to kill as many of them as he could. tho, tbh, i don't understand why he's working for Van to begin with if he feels all replicas are worthless, especially since Van's the one that cast him aside as trash to begin with.

also, why is Ion so lucid? he's only 2, Luke had to learn everything from scratch when he was made so wouldn't Ion just now be learning how to wipe himself? :/

Yay, cool chick, favorite outfit in the game.

I liked the episode, but I must say something: if you haven't played the game before, you''ll not understand very well the story, cause it's a huge game, and they couldn't do much in 26 episodes...

This episode was great. Many developments in the story. Man they sure revealed alot in this one episode including the identity to synce as being one of the replica's of fon master ion. Also van's true motives are finally revealed and what he really wants is to create a replica planet that is free of yulia's score. Also we learn that voice that has been in luke's head before, way at the start of the series is actually yulia. Now tear is in danger and needs help. I am just thankful that they did not skip anything. Guess thats why they had to kind of rush it.

I still remember fighting synce at that part of the game, man he was one of the toughest bosses lol.

From the looks of the preview, the next episode is going to be another huge startling revelation. There finally starting to reveal the true identities of the oracle knights.

And the new costume suits for the characters displayed in this new version of the ending were awesome. I remember how much of a pain in the ass it was to get those.

Ah, those elderly people were quite the dynamic characters. It is such a shame that they had to go out like that, all because a certain snake by the name of Spinoza snitched on them. He did seem to be regretful afterward, that doesn't erase what he's done, though.

I remember how difficult the boss fight of Sync was. He kept running around with his incredible agility. He was burdensome to stagger, and he just kept spamming his mystic arts as if it was his last day on Earth. One of the grueling boss fights in the game, for sure. As for person himself, Sync is quite a pitiful character, if I say so myself. I always viewed him as Luke if he went down a strayed path, without family and friends to keep him afloat. It was an unfortunate turn of events.

As for Ion's replica status reveal, that was surprising. I already had this idea that Sync may most likely be a replica of Ion, but for the both of them to be replicas of the original Fon Master? That was a plot twist.
