Damn, the orphanage even got caught up in this mess of a fight. Luckily, the episode had a high note of emotional mood and ultimately, I believe they did a fairl well job on capturing the character personalities.

Feels like this episode/arc really gave Pepesha the chance to stand out.

Probably the most intense episode yet.

Kufufu is such a goofy character, haha. I loved her hilarious reactions.

That sketch book looked just like Death Note btw.

Poor Pepesha. :(

Both Pepesha and Shy getting trapped into the heart of Tzveta's Amarariruku, even Kufufu is also trouble just by being a joker and the Human Toy Box. But make no mistake, the brainwashed children of Stigma are no slouch, though Kufufu really do love Tzveta to her own degree. At this point, the heroes need a plan, and Teru would cover for Pepesha to help move the people out to safety.

But the problem is that the negative space around the orphanage is an endless space that all comes back to Tzveta, which to fulfill her broken heart, the emotions are part of the equation, which she transfers to Natalia and the children that overwhelms Pepesha's heart, getting her to be riled up against Tzveta, which achieves the enemy's goal that Pepesha fails to see the light of her own shortcomings with Lenya, which is what Stigma had aimed with Iko before.

Pepesha is definitely seeing her tragic past, amplified and Stigma-tized to oblivion. Will she be able to recover from her past rut?

Wow, episode started out pretty light and jokey, but that ending was intense. They really went all out with the OST and emotional gravity in this one.

So like I thought based on last week’s episode, that is the soul of Pepesha’s mother in an innocent child form. Basically the only time in life when she had warmth. The entire stigma group rejects maturity, interesting. I wonder how they brought her back to life.

That’s gotta be such a tough fight for Pepesha because her mom is basically in front of her saying her life was nothing but pain, despite having a daughter

The scene where they were inside the mother’s heart really gave off Madoka/Shaft vibes as well. I loved the direction in this one.

Kufufu is so batshit insane I love her. Like where tf did she get a fireproof jacket from 😂

Can’t wait for next week

If only we had stardust with us it would solve everything. But I guess he’s in the uk so he can’t exactly help right now.

I love the concept behind the villains and how stigma unlocks the peace and true emotions locked in there heart.

It was beyond obvious that tzveta was Pesha’s mum but seeing her realise was sad.

Like how is teru meant to win? Kufu pulled out the fireproof suit. Unless she can somehow manage to make her flames burn so hot she can melt the suit. There in a dire af situation rn.

I hope they go into more details about why she hates the outside world because so far it seemed like she was raised in a good orphanage and after she left was doing fine.

Now I'm very curious about Pepesha's backstory. I'm still not entirely buying that Tvetza is actually her mom but it's more like she was created from her tragic past. Let's wait and see.

You know, it felt as though Shy was a hindrance in the episode not just literally but also in the writing.
I did not understand why she needed to be here when logically, she made every scene worse.

If Pesha was here alone, got to this state and Shy came in from outside, I think it would have been better. It would have been an adequate problem for Shy to overcome while Pesha holds out.

God, how desperate the two of them (Teru and Pesha) are, they are supposed to have some type of training to avoid situations like this, at least that's what I want to believe, for example the police and the military take courses and psychological training to avoid manipulation but damn, it seems like they don't give a damn about that here.

Kfufu's such a fun character. She's kinda running on roadrunner logic, loved the little parody bits, especially the overdramatic "death". The animation is pretty good this episode, with all the powers being thrown around.

Also, both Shy and Spirits get a named special attack today!

Tzveta must be only part of Pepesha's mom which is why she has missing memories.

Damn Shy is gullible falling for every little obvious trick of Kufufu.

The ending of the episode was really heavy and dark.
So Tzveta seems to really be a personification of Lenya's disillusion about the "external world" and other bad emotions in Lenya's younger form... How did Stigma manage to do that?

I loved to see more of Shy's fire powers. I hope that in the next episode we will get to see more of Teru's empathy and ability to form a connection with others, too, in order to help Pepesha.

I would think that if Tzveta is lacking memories and getting them by making Pepesha upset that it may actually open her eyes but it probably has the opposite effect in that it could make Pepesha see the world the way Tveta sees it. If that's the case then Shy may end up being the one to rescue her.

On a side note, I think Tzveta is an illusion or a clone of Pepesha's mom, especially considering she doesn't have memories although she knows to target Pepesha but that could be because of Stigma guiding her.

What keeps this episode from being utterly mediocre is Tzveta's backstory. Yeah, I know that a villain's sad backstory is one of the oldest clichés in storytelling, but Julie Shields does such an amazing job at conveying Tzveta's literally cold personality that I couldn't help but feel some measure of respect to what the show was trying to do.

Unfortunately, the episode is dragged down by Kufufu's wacky antics and the fact that the titular character get pushed to the sidelines. This is a problem Shy always had: the balance between drama and comedy. The dramatic moments are hard to appreciate because there is always a bad joke waiting to ruin the moment, and the comedy falls flat because the jokes are inappropriate in an otherwise serious situation.

At this point, I've given up any hope that quality of Shy will improve. Even if this show gets a satisfying conclusion, it won't make the journey I took to get there any less tedious.

So our main hero shu decide to become pathetic during the whole episode. Even having the intense strength she could move one person or stop her. Even being hero she could stop one villain. Her whole role in this episode was melting ice and just shouting 😂 hope this sh*t become better than this episode
