WHAT WAS THIS EPISODE?? I'M GOING INSANEEE

-Lu guang really uhm actually'd 🤓 that guy
-Photoshoot scene YES we needed some fluff. Unfortunately it was just the calm before the storm…
-”friends” xia fei is precious
-cxs gets exposed LMAO
-I didn't doubt for one second that vein was still alive, esp with how he got death note'd...

Anyway, there's so much to unpack in this ep and so many questions I still have…

What happened in the fight scene:

Lu guang decides it is "time for some changes", and we see this with him talking to vein to stall him a bit before vein goes into the building.
(Also side note when cxs enters the room, it's wq talking to him. But once she takes a photo of him, it's shao yuanyuan possessing wq.)
Vein walks into the room and tranquilizes cxs. Syy fights him but loses while trying to get to a booklet taped behind a painting.
Vein takes the book and starts to leave.
Syy claps, and wq, now herself again, sees what's happening. She uses her fake death ability on vein (probably activated by saying his real name) and he dies.

Now the last few shots are where things got weird, because it shows lu guang's arm moving at the same time as wq, as if he's actually possessed her or controlling something/using her ability. But I'm very sure this was actually just some imagery of how lg's plans were falling into place, as a sort of mastermind/puppeteer. He knew that by delaying vein, something would change, which was why he was talking about the butterfly effect earlier. He was sort of making a gamble bcs he didn't know exactly what would change- Maybe he knew it would cause wq to kill vein? But he definitely didn't know the exact details of her ability, since he thinks vein is actually dead, and doesn't know vein revived. But anyway, I'm thinking lg intended for pretty much all that to happen, and wanted vein to get killed- He didn't do it directly, as if he himself had the fake death ability, but he did seemingly cause it to happen.

can still confirm that is murderous intent in lg's eyes.

this look he's giving man... 🔫🙂
There's been so much cxsd in bridon
Nobody can say that lg doesn't love cxs in some way or another, whether platonic or not I don't really care, but just who else would you go back in time for over and over trying to save them?
Now, however many loops it's been, he's just willing to do anything. Seeing cxs die in front of him, whether it was once or twice or more than that- and he stayed in that room for like an hour after it happened- plus the 4(?) nightmare scenes in this arc and The Horrors haunting him even awake- how he is whenever it looks like cxs is in danger- the way a future without cxs is just not a even possibility for him...(THE EYE LYRICS ARE SO INSANE) and how much absolute priority that takes. At this point literally nothing else matters to him and I mean nothing. If it has a chance of changing the future to how he wants, he will do it.

He's so done, he's fcking smiling as he (sort of) kills vein. I mean yeah king slay WE LIVE FOR UNHINGED LG
But,, I think he needs a snickers and some therapy
I LOVE when characters are trying to do something good, but start doing increasingly extreme things to make it happen or go too far or don't act like themself anymore. Something along these lines could certainly happen with lg (perhaps it already has…). Maybe it would be better if he wasn't doing all his plans solo.

In s3, shit's gonna hit the fan because no vein did NOT die. And also syy / wq time traveling is changing events, and who knows whatever lx is plotting, and xf is just stuck in the middle of everything, and lg is trying to keep cxs alive. Gotdamn

“Hey lu guang why don't you come over here too and let chris give you a snickers? you don't look so good”


Also xia fei is going to be SO INTERESTING im hoping for so much in s3
-Will he know that it was wq's power that killed vein, or even worse, that lu guang (who xf calls a friend) wanted it to happen??
-Will he have a revenge arc against lg or wq or somebody? (this would go crazy man.)
Imagine xf goes berserk in s3
-And imagine a scene when he finds out vein is still alive…
-Will he work for vein again or what (Despite how xf likes him, I'm pretty sure vein only sees xf as entertainment, or something along those lines of being onesided)
-does xf know the really unhinged side of vein?
-will he know that vein killed/is going to kill cxs (well his target was lg but ended up being cxs), and will xf go along with that or will he try to prevent it?

And no matter what happens, there's so much potential for interesting relationships... By the end of bridon, lg and cxs are his friends, but vein is shiguang's enemy eventually, and who knows what lx's deal is- but anyway I'm hoping for something wild to go down with these conflicts.


My remaining notes after rewatching the ep and getting info from Lh0 interview:

-Still don't know who vein was on the phone with (talking in english only)
-Bridon being the same timeline from s1 and 2 would make sense in some ways but also be confusing in other ways... idk what, if it is or not.
-It's "the last time" for lu guang? why??
-What is in the book thing wq had/vein took? Maybe it's info about people with abilities? It has an eye symbol…
-The book is something cheng weimin had at his desk or smthn at bahati in e5.
-Liu xiao is the one who opened vein's bodybag and he's probably the only person who knows vein is alive.
-It seems like cwm died in the fire, and syy is time traveling trying to save him? just like shiguang. Her actions are changing up the timeline along with the things lg is already doing.
-Still don't really know anything about the bahati fire, what it means, or why somebody would've wanted to cause it… (I've seen someone say it might be to cause a distraction and take that book from cwm, so hmm…)
-All I really know about liu xiao is that he wants to "turn all uncertain events into one certainty" as he said in s2's ending. Don't know what this means. He's definitely some kind of mastermind/manipulator on another level from the other hhh but what is he trying to do??
-Xia fei's disappearance is probably him going off on an investigation to find out what happened to vein. Don't know why jack (that other model) disappeared too though or if that's significant.

Apparently in only the bilibili version of this episode, it said that the last scene of lu guang reading the news/cxs repainting was set three years later from bridon, right after s2 and the li twins case. They were in the same outfits from the welcome home party in s2's ending, and also ql commented for cxs to be careful coz he just got shot (from that underground fight scene in s2 e12) (no way he needed stitches for a tranquilizer, so it’s definitely not right after bridon)
So s3 must have more about xia fei's investigation, vein reviving, and liu xiao's mastermind ideas.

-Link click’s director said there are no parallel timelines. So it seems whenever lg dives back from a bad ending, whatever happened in that time doesn't exist anymore.
It would look something like this:
(embed fail)

Abilities:

- Lu guang gets cxs's power from his death, but doesn't have it anymore after he dives back to bridon.
- Wang qing has the fake death ability. Her eyes glow blue when using it (which is a different shade from lg 😭 yall have a whole color wheel to design with and u choose blue again...)
- Shao yuanyuan has the same ability as cxs. Don't know if cwm has it too.
- Vein has no ability (right now at least), he is just the strongest.
- Liu xiao can hear people's heartbeats, and through this he can tell if ppl are lying. Apparently he has another, unknown ability.
- After s2, qiao ling has li tianxi's ability.

Abilities can be obtained genetically (how cheng xiaoshi got his). Or they can transfer when the person dies (like with ltx and cxs). Or someone could kill an ability-having person to steal their power.


Anyway that's all I've got right now. Time to hibernate until season 3

@Lemon_Snickers Wow! You listed all the questions I had. Really informative for a quick run down of the ONA.

Thanks!! I have so much brainrot after watching this ep lol I can't stop thinking about it


Also yall my image wouldn't load correctly, so here is what I think the timeline looks like again:

Bridon arc ----------> season 1 ----------> season 2 -----------> CXS dies -> LG dives back to bridon

This could be proved wrong later who knows,, but it makes sense to me right now XD

This whole season introduced way more questions than it answered, lol.

Just to organize my thoughts a bit:


  • Season 1 and 2 are in the same timeline.
  • In the S1/S2 timeline, it's a "temporary good end" as the protagonists haven't been killed by Vein (yet). Season 2 reveals that Lu Guang has been repeating time since he met Cheng Xiaoshi (presumably in a separate timeline where everyone dies).
  • This season reveals the particulars about how Lu Guang has been going back. It seems to imply (this episode particularly), that this is his "last attempt" so he's trying some extraordinary measures.
  • One of the measures is inserting a major event (what exactly?) into the past and seeing what happens, which is a departure from Lu Guang's usually planned and measured approach.
  • Cheng Xiaoshi's mom is also independently trying to change the past to rescue his dad. She was possessing Wang Qing from when the photo was taken until the end of the scene at least.
  • How did she get the blue-eye power temporarily? What did that scene mean?
  • Not sure how Vein was attacked by Lu Guang? And how he's now alive again?
  • Liu Xiao appears many times during this season but never really gets significant development, but he's still pretty important and it's implied he's the central antagonist?


I'm most curious how they're going to tie this stuff back into the S1/S2 timeline because S1/S2's timeline was in the "temporary good end". Maybe S1/S2's timeline is the ultimate good end where Lu Guang manages to save everyone?

I think they should’ve insert scene between wangqing and cxs’ mum. I’m interested how his mum explained why and what to do.

Ahhh im so confused omg. The one thing i did understand and loved was Lu Guang going nerd mode lmao 🤓👆

I'm just a bit confused on where this fits in the overall timelines, and I kind of understand what happened in the therapy room but also not really??? Either way this was really good, I loved it a lot more than S2, I'm excited to see where it all goes from here. Opening and Ending songs are amazing I'm gonna listen to them forever

Why did wangqing use her fake death ability on redhair?
@neptunerf17
I'm not sure about all the exact details, but vein was stealing that book and about to walk away, so wang qing just did whatever she could in that moment to stop him. The book probably has some kind of important information in it.

@DonghuaFan This order of events seems a little off to me. Lu Guang says in this season that this is his last attempt for whatever reason. However, Lu Guang went back in time at the end of season 2 to save CXS from the bullet. That can be chalked up to it being a separate event, but in episode 1, Vein blames Lu Guang because he changed the past, so presumably Lu Guang would have changed the past at some point before Vein started going after them. It makes more sense to me that episode 1 of Bridon arc is after season 2, Vein is killing them because of Lu Guang initially saving CXS at the end of season 2, and Lu Guang has been looping since then. Although, it doesn't really make sense for Lu Guang to have to go so far back to try to stop Vein from what we know so far, so I can see how your order of events makes sense also. It's weird that this is neither listed as a prequel nor sequel on Mal.

So in the end of season 2 the scene of Lu Guang going back in time was a flashback. In the last episode of S2, Qiao Ling witnesses the memories of Li Tianxi and then she wonders why she has a memory of Lu Guang witnissing Cheng Xiaoshi death. She then greats our heros and they have their party. During the party, there is a narration from Lu Guang saying he broke his own rules. Then there is a flashback of Lu Gaung in their room covered in blood and wearing season 1 clothing and he claps and goes back in time. Then it cuts back into the party at the end of S2.

Pay attention to the clothes they wear because it lets the viewers know when an actual event takes place and when it is a flashback.

So the timeline is this

1. CXS meets Lu Guang
2. CXS goes to Bridon
3. CXS gets his powers at Bridon
4. Lu Guang does not kill Vein in Bridon
5. They go back to China, start their business of solving client cases like Emma, Doudou, Sichuan Earthquake case, etc
6. Vein kills
7. Lu Guang goes inherits CXS powers and goes back in time to save CXS
8. Repeat steps 1 through 8 because Lu Guang keeps on failing in saving CXS

After multiple failed attempts at saving CXS (we don't know how long Lu Guang has been trapped in this timeloop) we witness the events of the Bridon Arc where Lu Guang is able to break free of the timeloop where he is able to kill Vein

Bridon Arc events
9. We witness CXS dying in the photostudio and Lu Guang going back in time to save him. Vein says this is punishment for changing the past cuz Lu Guang's been repeating steps 1-8 for awhile now.
10. CXS meets Lu Guang
11. CXS goes to Bridon
12. CXS gets his powers at Bridon
13. Lu Guang kills Vein in Bridon and breaks the timeloop (which is why he says this last time he thinks he doesn't have to go back in time to save CXS)

Events in S1
14. Events in S1 play out similar to steps 5
15. However, the big difference is that this time Vein is no where to be found and instead the killer is Li Tianchen

Events in S2
16. They solve the Li Tianchen case
17. At the end of S2, Lu Guang has a flashback of going back in time to save CXS. This refers to step 9.

After S2
18. There is a flashboard during the last ep of Bridon where CXS explains why the photo studio was renamed to Time Photo Studio as well as Lu Guang hearing on the news that Xia Fei disappeared.

This is a prime example of why time travel stories induce migraine type headaches for me.
But I actually enjoyed it. Now let us have Season 3 please!

I cannot stop thinking about this episode ever since it dropped... It's just so unfortunate that an interesting "side story" got such a rushed ending. We got that awesome hour long first episode setting up some awesome things conceptually, and we got all those crazy cool PVs and whatnot only for it to end up like this :(... I know it's supposed to be a side thing to hype up the 3rd season which is gonna be way longer than what we usually get but I just wish the final episode had more time to flesh itself out, it just felt really lackluster and the power stuff just felt like such an asspull. I'm still excited for season 3 but I really hope they don't pull some random unexplained nonsense like with this episode.

So in the end of season 2 the scene of Lu Guang going back in time was a flashback. In the last episode of S2, Qiao Ling witnesses the memories of Li Tianxi and then she wonders why she has a memory of Lu Guang witnissing Cheng Xiaoshi death. She then greats our heros and they have their party. During the party, there is a narration from Lu Guang saying he broke his own rules.

@DonghuaFan I see, thanks. This kind of makes me like the ending of season 2 less now though, cause I liked the idea that CXS died there and Lu Guang had to go back to save him and we were seeing the new timeline (although, I guess that is kind of what happened overall). At least the story makes more sense now.

@Masshiroi I google lensed it and it is translated like that : "Models and internet celebrities have lost contact one after another, attracting the attention of netizens"

I'm not sure to know what it implies though.
@Angelisa54 So I guess that would mean they're missing?

Feels like a very long teaser that would have worked better as a movie instead of... this. I can cut out a lot "filler" material and leave only 1 hr 30 min, and still, it's just a teaser for the "real" season yet to come. Too many quesions and writers keep overcomplicate stuff... at one point, I like it (s2 was nothingburger and I am happy to go back to time shenanigans. High stakes and intriguing villains). On the other hand, it all needs to be written down and planned precisely, otherwise it's going to fall like a house of cards.

We'll see. I very much enjoyed ep.1 and ep.6, everything else... not so much. Just a bunch of beautiful men doing some side activities, occasionally punching people.

Man, for a six episode series this sure was a lot to dig in.

Coming from the ending of S2 where it was revealed that sometime and somewhere Lu Guang inherited CXS powers and went back in time in order to save him, this time we're treated to how he did it, or I should say one of the "times" he did it. Indeed, it is heavily implied throughout the episodes that he has done this multiple times although we're not sure of the number, and that this time should be the one that breaks the cycle. There is a clear murderer to be stopped this time but that's where things get complicated.

You see, from the last episode we get not only the fact that CXS's parents who he has been searching for are indeed alive but that his mom has similar powers to him and that she's searching for a way to fix this but doesn't want to put him in danger. Just as they both confront Vein and CXS get knocked out, she is about to lose to him but something happens. Lu Guang out of seemingly nowhere is able to control her body and with it stop Vein killing him in the process with some weird telekinesis we don't know where and how he got from. If that wasn't enough, it turns out that the poor Wang Qing and Xia Fei went missing and Vein is still alive. So of course by one of the last lines of the movie they were watching we can only assume that Liu Xiao has a play in all of this. Or does he?

In any case, I'm not sure if I got everything right up to this point but this season sure twisted the timelines, introduced a lot of characters and left us with more questions than answers. Normally that would be a sign of bad writing but in this case considering what we know and what we can deduce it can be interpreted as well as the perfect material to fuel up the hype for next season, setting the scene perfectly. Furthermore, this time the animation was good as always and both the opening and ending felt way more close to home even with a slower pace. Great job, can't wait for this series to keep going.

It feels extremely rushed, or maybe more like poorly executed. Suddenly a lot of stuff happened on this episode begged for questions which that cannot be answered by simply watching. I hate it when that happens.

Wow, that was quite the finale, and of course there are still so many mysteries and unanswered elements but this is also what makes it very engaging and I can't wait to see what will be in the next season even if this one is basically S1 and S2 prequel but now we know more about Lu Guang and what he is able to do/ready to do to have this good timeline. Also that was great to learn more about Cheng Xiaoshi's mother after the backstory where he was in her body in the previous episode. There are so many things in the background that each character is secretly doing and trying to manipulate the timeline and the other characters, this is getting insane!! Not to mention the last second of this episode where the presumed dead Vein opens his eyes, damn!

Another Masterpiece of a season. The story is just simply exquisite. The author deserves so much praise, as well as CMC Media for animating this series so beautifully. Saw that this is getting a Season 3 and I'll be there. So excited to see where this story goes. PEAK ANIME!!🔥🔥🙌✅️🐐💯🤩

Of course, he's alive and that's where the season ends. I have too many questions.

The next season needs to have more episodes.

Cheng Xiaoshi's mom has the same power as him and she took over Wang Qing's body for a bit to meet him. Wonder where her physical body is at right now?

I'm confused on why after she clapped her hands, Lu Guang was able control Wang Qing's body. Also, it seems LG knows Vein's Chinese name is Xiao Weiying. And no clue how LG was able to trigger a heart attack in Vein, not that Vein died and I'm not surprised either, it seemed too easy for him to go down.
^ Ok after reading some of the comments here, it seems possible that WQ actually has a power to temporarily make someone die. How did she know Vein's Chinese name though? Could he have been a student at the school too? Also LG seemed to have known that she has this power? Maybe he learned about it some time during his time travel journey.

Wonder what was that book that Vein wanted from Wang Qing. Cheng Weimin had the same book in the school drawer. I'm guessing the "They" that the woman (think it was SYY - CXS' mom) mentioned might be Vein's organization. Could they have started the school fire to get the book? Now that I think about it, if CXS' parents were in the fire together, how did they get separated? Maybe during the fire or right after the fire, the organization came to kidnap CWM to force SYY to give them the book (theory).

Also, still not sure what Liu Xiao's role is in all of this. He seems to be the mastermind but what is his goal? Does he want the book too?

It looks like back in the present day (at the end of s2), LG watched the news and it mentioned that the ex-model and Xia Fei went missing.

This is playing with my head haha.

The Xia Fei with power theory in this video at 18:00 is interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CnIx3THHL4

This entire season confused me, but I mostly don't understand the first episode. Why does Vein kill everyone? Why is altering a timeline worth killing for? I don't understand his motivations at all, and it makes all of this weird to me.

ok i was completely lost but i think i understand the timeline now - somebody please correct me if im wrong.

1. Lu Guang takes a picture on a basketball court, meets Cheng Xiaoshi, they become best friends, learn about their powers & start using them to help people
2. The "first" loop of seasons 1 & 2 happen
3. Vein pulls up to the studio & for an unknown reasons, fights them & kills Cheng Xiaoshi
4. As Cheng Xiaoshi dies he somehow gives his power to Lu Guang who uses it to go back to when they first met
5. Lu Guang relives their lives up to point 4 an unknown (but presumably very large) number of times, each time making a small change in the hopes that it leads to a future where Vein doesn't kill Cheng Xiaoshi
6. After an unkown amount of loops this arc takes place, where Lu Guang accidentally changes something which makes him go to Bridon with Cheng Xiaoshi
7. At the end of this arc he decides to take the drastic measure killing Vein (using some a power of his we didn't know about to control Wang Qings power which we also didn't know about), thinking this will definitively stop him from killing Cheng Xiaoshi & disregarding the danger of the butterfly effect
8. Vein survives?

is this correct?

@J4rra This summary helped me a bit. I was also confused the majority of the time, but I think I followed all of this except where Lu Guang has relived their lives multiple times. Maybe I have to go back to the other seasons (it's been awhile). Not knowing why why Vein wants to kill them is the biggest question I have.
