Quite an alright episode. Too much was squeezed into a 20 minutes episode but God knows how frustrated I am with Ghost as a whole, so having some of the many jarring plot holes answered by Edith is nice.

I actually like the Akari - Takeru dynamic. They've been the closest of friends for the longest time and it only makes sense for her to freak out given how little time Takeru has left. The show has been hesitant to dive too deep (hah!) into the emotional spectrum, but if anything, now's the time. I certainly wouldn't mind having one or two Akari centric episodes to really give this series the emotional impact it's sorely missing.

Nice job Kanon. You withheld the information about your brother's doppelganger for this long. It's either she does nothing or when she does something, it's of absolute stupidity like this one. *claps*

Alain needs more moments in this arc. This, afterall, concerns his family and he has been on the sideline for way too much.

The usual eccentric Onari did nothing in this episode. I'm surprised. Just meditating won't help save your friend from certain death 19 days later.

Damnit Igor. Nobody gives a fuck about Project Demia anymore.

Since when Makoto has such fondness over Adel? And his brashness of quickly eliminating his clones is pretty darn stupid. Makoto was introduced as quite an opportunists and strategists in the beginning, having observe and systematically obstruct Ghost for his own agenda but now he's nothing more than a brute grunt who while knowing that killing his clones also kills him, has done nothing to figure out the clones' origins or purpose and just brutishly annihilates them.

So I was wrong that Edith will become the big bad. So that just leaves either Igor or Sennin.

Rating: 3/5

Actually, there's one other thing that's been bugging me for a while, now. The first two of the luminaries' Eyecons that possessed people (Ryoma and Himiko) didn't change their appearance that much. All Ryoma did was move his host's glasses, while Himiko caused no changes at all. Then Houdini came along, and caused the girl he possessed to sprout chains from nowhere. And it's gotten more and more ridiculous from there, culminating in this episode, where you can only tell that 'Beethoven' is Akari from the face. Her hair, clothes, eyes, everything else is different. If the luminaries have the ability to change people they possess, then what other hidden abilities do they have?

As you can see, she clearly tried telling someone but only Makoto, Shibuya and Narita were at the temple since everyone else was dealing with the idol plot. You can't say she "withheld the information" given that, well, she tried telling someone.
Yaiba wrote:Yes, the clothes matter. Because if its just a look alike then it may really just be a random person who looks like Makoto. There are doppelganger in this world. But if that guy is wearing an enemy uniform then it most certainly is an enemy scheme targeted at Makoto, and this whole situation will become more serious than just meeting a random doppelganger.

But, she alluded to that too. I still think the clothes of all things is a silly and minor notion in the grand scheme of it all but, it's there.

Clearly the issue is that she needs to tell an actual adult. :lol:

- If they could just reset the world, why plan for the human world invasion 10 years ago? How long has Adnois been hesitating to push the reset button?
- Makoto admired Adel? He's upset because Adel killed his own father. Riiiiiiiiight. Makoto tried to kill Adel way before Adel killed Adnois.
==> Adel: "That's the first time I heard of this." Yeah, so did we, Adel.
Exactly. Show not tell, Toei. :(

Wasn't Goemon one of the early ones too, with some modifications to Onari? Tbh I'm not a big fan of this "eyecons possessing humans" trope.

So uh, did Makoto or Alain ever have injuries which required wounds being swabbed while they were Eyecons? Because I think they dropped a weird hint in this episode about Edith and Sennin; I think somehow Sennin is Edith's soul running around on its own while Edith is a body with no soul. Like, Sennin is a Heartless and Edith is a Nobody, dig?

Also, this whole storyline is frustratingly meandering still. Goddamn it.

The teaser was executed extremely well in my opinion; I found the actual human moments without random humor a vast improvement from what I'd been disliking from previous episodes. Akari attacking Yurusen was more amusing than it should have been, and anything involving Edith was pure awesome. Beyond Aria's continued damseled helplessness, I found very little holding this episode down. I gave it a 5; unlike some of Mugen's start, it actually feels like I'm watching the show rather than wading through some parts for good moments. Ghost seems to be slowly but surely going back to where it was before Mugen (except with more explanations).

Also, I found the bits of movie promo quite interesting:

Talk about dumping all the story revelation in one episode. Not a fan of that at all. This show has lost steam and my attention.

I still have a feeling that Sennin and Edith is exactly the same person. And then if Edith is inventor, that maybe Yurusen is one of his inventions?

It was better than previous episodes and explained lots of stuffs, though there were inconsistencies that kind of bothered me (like how Makoto said he respected Adel when he never shown it in the show).
Edith's black Ultima form looks cool (just realized something. Are they making Black Ultima figures to boost toy sales since black versions are really popular in the Japanese market?)

I hope for your sake that the Demia project will actually be something impressive, Igor.

That's a lot of new information. I don't think dumping a shit tonne of information in one go really counts as good story telling.
