Everyone smiles. Happy times.
Episode Thoughts
Okay, I’m not even going to touch that preview for next episode. Lol
This episode though definitely succeeded in being very dramatic. The result was predictable, but the substance of the episode was pretty good.
First though, I lượt thích it all taking place at night with the face off against Papa Dan at sunrise, basically. It was all very-medical drama. & that was fun. (They also made sure to check every detail. I noticed the clocks và even the time on Hiiro’s phone. Very nice.)
On one hand, I feel like this whole “Hiiro how could you?!” mini-arc ended up being a waste of time since we’re basically back lớn where we were before he tagged along with Papa Dan. Even Saki is in the same position, she’s still dead. (I like to maintain she and all the other people are dead-dead.)
On the other hand, it was a good way to give a little depth to lớn Hiiro’s character. I think the seeds were planted early on in a way that allowed Hiiro to lớn either become simply emotionally unstable or a full-on traitor or just simply a Kumon Kaito-type guy. I remember noticing after several episodes how Hiiro seemed lớn be kind of erratic in characterization. Or even lacking in characterization. (Or just simply, kind of a jerk.) But after this little arc, I can accept him having inner struggles which then made him more willing và susceptible to lớn Papa Dan’s control & enticing with undeadSaki.
So the drama this episode of him struggling between being a doctor & saving his dead girlfriend was believable.
I’m certainly with Nico. I wouldn’t trust Hiiro so easily either. Lol They don’t know what Papa Dan’s been brainwashing him with.
But in a way, I feel like Hiiro making this decision supports the idea that in the end, they’ll find out that no, you can’t bring dead people back lớn life using a video clip game. That’s in addition khổng lồ both Kuroto and Kiriya seemingly not lượt thích their pre-death selves. Who knows, the character inconsistency with them two might just be bad writing. But I’m still betting on the theory that they’re avatars who aren’t completely human or whole.
Taiga though, I’m not so sure about. He felt guilty about his part in Saki’s death. But now that reminds me how he wanted lớn get rid of all the Bugsters himself, all rogue-like. I feel lượt thích that’s been dropped. The Graphite connection wasn’t really fleshed out well. & his relationship with Nico, whatever you label it, has been played more for laughs than anything else. Though of course, that relationship came in very handy this episode as Nico played the grieving not-widow. So now that the Saki plotline seems to lớn have wrapped up, it’ll be interesting lớn see what they vày with him (and Nico I guess) in the final episodes.

It’s such a novelty to lớn see Emu actually in scrubs. I wish we got more of him being all doctor-y. At least, being a doctor while looking lượt thích one. Not just his “intern”/video game teen outfit. Lol
I won’t speculate on what next episode is about. But Parado và Graphite have really been irrelevant since Papa Dan took over. I do think Parado và maybe even Graphite play a bigger role in the endgame than Papa Dan will. But they’ve really felt like just extra characters lately. Hopefully that changes and it was only to make way for this Hiiro arc.
