Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

For those interested in reading along with the manga, Episode 11 adapted all of chapter 30, the first seven pages of chapter 31 (7/32 pages), pages five-through-fifteen of chapter 34 (11/34 pages), and minus the last five pages, nearly all of chapter 35 (23/28 pages). This is equivalent to about 2.36 chapters of manga. For those curious why chapters 32-33 and the remaining parts of chapters 31 and 34 have been skipped, it is because those were all parts of the manga focusing solely on Kiruko and Maru’s side of the narrative (meaning those parts of the manga are going to be adapted over the course of episodes 12 and 13). In case anyone was confused by what Kona meant that he had “synchronized” with Tokio, we’re meant to understand that he basically psychically experienced Tokio’s pain of childbirth labor along with her. Ishiguro, the mangaka, has also noted in interviews that Kona being debilitated in the aftermath of said pain while Tokio wasn’t, was intentional commentary on his part on how most women are expected to and do deal with much greater physical pain (specifically noting the regular pain of menstruation and childbirth) in their lives than most cis men do. If anyone had trouble following what The Director’s plans were, to put it simply it was this: The director plans on eventually transplanting her brain into the child of Tokio and Kona. However, as Dr. Sawatari states, in order for the brain transplant surgery to work, the body the new brain is being transplanted into needs to be at least 13-15 years old. But as The Director herself notes, due to her old age, she may not have another 13-15 years to live. Thus in order to deal with the issue of 13-15 year wait, The Director plans to first transplant (non-consensually) her brain into Aoshima’s body (the recently appointed vice-director). Dr. Sawatari obviously has some reservations about The Director’s plans, so it should be little surprise to see later in the episode that he has apparently been plotting something with Aoshima behind The Director’s back. Also during the conversation between The Director and Dr. Sawatari, the initial part of the conversation (where they discussed the proto-type of what is obviously the Kiru-Beam and 8 “soldiers” that will wield them) was an anime pseudo-original addition. As the information that was discussed said scene was originally depicted in chapter 24 of the manga (which would have been around episode 9 of the anime). And for those curious, the large painting hanging in the background of The Director’s office is meant to resemble (or be) an iconic painting (“Searching the Seas with the Tenkei”) by Kobayashi Eitaku that depicts a pair of well known Shinto creator-Gods, Izanagi and Izanami, who are perhaps most well-known for creating the Japanese islands in Shinto mythology. The Heavenly Delusion series in general has actually included many Shinto mythology references in it. Most notably, many of the Takahara Academy students’ names are references to various Shinto mythological figures. And the name “Hiruko” (the term Maru uses to refer to Man-Eaters) in Shinto mythology is one of the names of a Japanese god (also known as a “Kami”) called “Ebisu”. The god Hiruko/Ebisu in Shinto mythology is known for being one of the children of Izanagi and Izanami (specifically their first one), and that Hiruko/Ebisu’s birth was considered “cursed” in a sense, noted in myths for being born without bones (apparently due to some transgression of his parents). Mīna’s (the pregnant robot A.I.) main body head/helmet also has the number-letter code i373 printed on it, which apparently is some sort of reference in Japanese to the name Izanami (the female creator-god of the pair), which is fitting since Mīna apparently “birthed” all the Takara Academy students (i.e. the Hiruko). Ohma, the 5th year girl who traumatized Mimihime this episode, her powers are indeed meant to be the same as the Man-Eater that hypnotized Kiruko in the car-basement of the Immortal Order’s building during episode 7. The implications that can be drawn from that should be relatively obvious (same with the significance of the images that flashed through Mimihime’s mind before she passed out). When Mimihime explained her powers in the manga, she also mentioned that she would get premonitions and psychic impressions of the past as well in addition to the future. And for anyone curious and/or with a fuzzy memory, we have not seen Kona’s Man-Eater form prior in the series (yes it has some similarities to the Man-Eater that half-ate Haruki in episode 3, but the design of Kona’s Man-Eater is still distinctly different from that one). And finally, at the beginning of the episode, immediately after Tokio gives birth, we are shown a scene with Dr. Sawatari and her (single) baby. Later in the episode Dr. Sawatari is shown with two (apparently identical) babies. Those with keen-eyes may have noticed that the cribs the two babies are sleeping in are labeled with the names “Tokio Jr.” and “Jr. C” respectively. I will leave anyone familiar enough with science-fiction genre stories to figure out what that likely means. For anyone curious in regards to how much specific time has passed during the Takahara Academy storyline, Tokio and Kuku snuck-out to see the “faceless babies” on July 1st, Ten’ei 17; and as stated in episode 11 the date of meeting Mīna had with all the Takahara Academy students gathered at the pool occurred on July 20th, Ten’ei 18. So a little more than a year has passed between those two events. Also in regards to the biological/wet squelching sounds heard when Mīna (seemingly) shuts-down/off at the end of episode 11, even current caught-up manga-readers still don’t know what those sounds were and/or meant. And a content warning for the next episode of Heavenly Delusion. Episode 12 will contain some intense scenes of graphic content, so anyone sensitive to that sort of material should prepare themselves before watching it. And if anyone is interested in starting the manga after this season is finished (it is currently planned to adapt the majority or all of tankōbon Volume 6 of the manga, likely somewhere in the range of chapters 36-37), I personally would still recommend starting the manga from the beginning regardless, as in addition to the standard cutting of extra dialogue and scenes from the anime for run-time and cinematic pacing, the chapter titles and cover pages of the manga also play a role in experiencing the foreshadowing of the story that the anime can’t quite replicate (due to the inherent difference in mediums). The mangaka of Heavenly Delusion, Masakazu Ishiguro (who is active on Twitter), their most well known previous work is “And Yet the Town Moves” (also known as Soremachi), which was serialized from 2005-2016. They have also done a number of other single volume manga and short stories collections. Ishiguro's has also stated that the major influences for the Heavenly Delusion series, include the works Akira, Armored Trooper Votoms, and an old Japanese science-fiction novel titled "Dogra Magra" that was written Kyūsaku Yumeno (who appears as a character in Bungo Stray Dogs) and published in 1935.

You guys would love Ajin: Demi-Human for some nice action, and Welcome to the demon school Iruma-Kun 2nd one is more for the funny BS.

Jake Thompson

This academy really does give off huge X-Men vibes.

Mob K.O.

Well I guess next Episode looks next episode that moment

mitch anderson

Gotta love this heavenly D

VictorBR45

Did you guys see the silhouette of Kiruko and Maru in the vision from Mimihime (ear princess in Japanese) at 12:18???????

VictorBR45

Doesn't stuff like Hiruko appear often in other anime like Summertime Rendering and Dororo? And ahh, I really loved those frames when Mimihime was hallucinating. We saw a city with lights on, the silhouette of Maru and Kiruko, bloody tissues, and an operating table I think.

zILovePelmeni _

you guys missed this: -Kona is the Hiruko who killed Haruki (you literally saw his Hiruko form) -the little sunglasses girl is the Hiruko in the parking house (same ability) -The doctor with the glasses is the doctor kiruko is trying to find (they have the same face and they were hinting at it with the brain transplant -the "twin" is the No-Face-Baby who saw Tokio and most likely copied her appearance and thats the one Maru is trying to find I could be wrong on the last one tho.

Theo Vorster

No, Kona’s Man-Eater is not the same Man-Eater that half-ate Haruki. While there are some similar design elements between the two, Kona’s Man-Eater design is distinctly different from the tardigrade-looking Man-Eater in episode 3. Also while the “twin” is indeed a clone, it’s not the faceless baby that imprinted on Tokio in episode 4.

Carlos Gunn

I feel like the robot mum has its own agenda here

Aniki Pft

When Mimihime took the girl's sunglasses off in the beginning I think it revealed something else too. Mimihime was probably the girl who was living off machines in episode 9 I think. The illusion showed a monitor and machines like the ones present in 9.

Skebaba

WDYM "non-consensually"? As pointed out by the Director, when you become the vice-director, you pretty much contractually agree to eventually BECOME THE DIRECTOR. Technically she got her consent, as she accepted the vice-director position, ergo she agreed to become her eventually

VictorBR45

I don't remember in regards to Summertime Rendering, but definitely Dororo. The MC of Dororo was cursed and he was born without bones, skin, or limbs, and set adrift in a river. Just like Hiruko.

Guns

And the froppy girl that looks like a frog might’ve been the fish hiruko on the ship?

Guns

Kona’s hiruko gotta be something completely op. Think about it, that man can see things OUTSIDE the walls and draws them. And i also think he was the one that accidentally cut the little girl playing ball when he was watching them a few episodes before, so his hiruko might have attacks like that. He could also be just watching maru and sis travel the whole frikin time

Kevin Kovacs

I lowkey scared what's about to happen in the next ep...

Cameron Robinson

I don’t think the swimsuits mean anything besides kids don’t listen.

Theo Vorster

I assume you’re being facetious (as it should go without saying someone accepting a promotion is not the same as giving consent to their boss to do anything they want to them), and The Director herself was essentially using the promotion as a bullshit “excuse” to justify the immorality of her body-snatching plans.

Zerø

If you check hard enough on the similarities faces relationships and powers, you can pretty much know what or who every single kid is in the future. I never read the manga but I can already see who Mimihime the nerdy kid, Ohma, Maru's dad (we have seen his maneater before), the two lesbians and Azuna will become. btw I think the second kid is the little weird monster baby shit that saw tokio and said her name.

Theo Vorster

Yeah, Roshi and co. were already informed of Mimihime and Shiro becoming Hoshio and Dr. Usami. The images that flashed through Mimihime’s mind before she fainted are definitely meant to be further foreshadowing of her future fate (and was a neat anime original addition). Also further adds to the implication that Mimihime’s phobia of needles and being cut up by sharp things is likely due to her subconscious being affected by her power to have premonitions of the future.

Cameron Robinson

Anime Only Theory: I think the Director wanted to make a new generation of children with high intelligence and abilities in order to revitalize or take over the world and lead that world by taking over the body of one of the children. She probably put a spend on it to sell the idea, but that’s her goal. The machine mom they created was making those faceless babies which turned into the children of Heaven with their abilities. The machine mom at some point decided to not make “perfect” children and decided to give them the man-eater disease that eventually turns anyone to Man-eaters to maybe destroy the rest of the world. This next test is maybe her staging a break out so the children will go out into the world (outside the outside) and either die and become man-eaters or live and infect people. Second theory: Tokio may have actually had two children but the glasses doctor lied in order to save one of the babies since the director wanted to become one of them. Maru is probably the 2nd one that the director isn’t trying to become. I don’t know why machine mommy would let Tokio have children and potentially Maru and Man-eater destroyer if she wants Man-eater to run amuck but that’s my theory at the moment. Kona drawings might not be making Man-eaters but be visions he sees from the future

Theo Vorster

No, Kona’s Man-Eater form, while sharing some similarities to the Man-Eater from episode 3, is a distinct and different design from the Man-Eater that half-devoured Haruki. Also Kona never has never shown the ability of invisibility/camouflage like the episode 3 Man-Eater did (since the kids generally have similar powers to their Man-Eater forms). Also there hasn’t been a Man-Eater or a 2039 human character shown that can be matched with Anzu yet. And the faceless baby that imprinted on Tokio in Episode 4 didn’t become the clone of Tokio’s baby.

Novafan

21:40 remember at the beginning kiruko was hired as marus bodyguard to find "heaven" and find someone who looks like maru aka his twin

✨《HENTAI GOD》✨

Not 100% sure if thats maru but remember like episode 5 or 6 he said he had to find a person that looks exactly like him so i feel like theres a high chance it could be maru and it is a boy it said jr.

Theo Vorster

Oh you mean whether other stuff in anime (or Japanese media in general) is inspired by the myth of Hiruko/Ebisu? I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case since a country’s media is often influenced by their historical culture. I couldn’t say how common the influence of the Hiruko/Ebisu myth is on Japanese media though.

Orlando

duuuuude this is soo gas.....its such an interesting show....but also i think this test aint gonna be no paper shit...they gone be put in some kingsman type scenario.

Joydan Bri’an

ohhh i got a theory after rewatching this episode. So Tokio had one child, but the guy cloned or did whatever he did so now there’s two. I think he did that so the director’s brain would go into the clone and not the “main” child, who i think is maru. That’s why maru was like it’s someone running around with my face. lmao i literally had this epiphany

Shiroja

is mashle dropping today?

emma

when is bloodhound dropping

Joydan Bri’an

also Sheera is so damn smart cause I didn’t even catch that the girl with the eyes was the maneater that made Kiruko hallucinate. Mimihime was hallucinating the drills and stuff because that’s what’ll happen to her in the future. This show is too good

ThatOneGuy

Lmao I love how when they thought that Maru was Tokyo they would remember that they said « someone with the same face as you » but now they see a literal twin and it’s error reboot system

The GoDKing 27

At the end of the episode i think the AI just shut off and whatever great disaster Happened

KeYo

dam this show is getting kinda scary like wtf lol. i have a theory but ima keep it to myself until im proven wrong or right lol

Daniel Robb

Maaaan where did all the theories that the academy is in the present time. Shit is 100% in the past. It's very clearly showing us how the world got so messed up.

xanderman

It's craaaazy how Mimihime is scared of drills and being cut up probably because she is able to see herself in the future getting cut up just to survive and die as a human. I am sorry but this show is SSS tier.

Daniel Robb

Why do you assume the academy is in present day? Isnt it pretty clear they created the Man Eaters?

Dréa

Poor Mimihime... In addition to seeing shit no one else can, she has a phobia created from shit that happens to her in the future. When she took the glasses off for the second time and Roshi said "that's nice of her" I started lmao. He was like naaaahhh wouldn't be me 🤣

InfamousD

maru did say theere is someone out there with his face

Daniel Robb

Bruh. Signing on to Become the director doesnt directly mean "The Director is gonna steal your body" 🤣 she coulda thought it was a placeholder position with guarenteed promotion lol

Daniel Robb

Theo, if you havent seen Dororo yet (I think you mentioned not) you def should if you have the time. Really good short story. I believe it's also one of the oldest mangas

rickie woodson

well that explains why people told maru there was someone walking around with his face.........HIS TWIN!!!!!!!! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN! what the days of our lives is going on?!

Izanagi15

Oh god we are getting close to that scene. I decided to read the manga and got caught up and now i'm scared... I regret everything

bloo.raspbrry7

If Tokio had twins, then it makes sense why Maru was told to look for someone with his face or maybe rather than a twin it's a clone

Lash

You guys are thinking to deep about the swim suit thing. Anzu was wearing a swim suit but she was the first one to say she felt off about the test. Some of the kids just weren’t paying attention cause they kids

Lash

Like you guys were saying I’m pretty sure ohma was literally the Man eater who was in the garage and made kiruko hallucinate. This would make sense because in the future Doctor Usami(Shiro)tells us that people with the sickness eventually turn into man eaters. He probably figured that out when trying to save Ohma who was friends with his wife(who we know is Mimihime ).

Jay_aka_Jordan

So either Tokio had twins or that sicko director had a clone made And Ohma the girl with hallucination powers is too similar to that man eater that did the same

zanderbander

damn, whoever has kiriko bringing maru to the school is setting him tf up. it's definitely a trap for the director to finally get his body. also, next ep seems like it bouta be wild af. promised neverland pt. 2

Theo Vorster

The implication is more that Sawatari made the clone (the second crib is labeled “Jr. C”, so it should be pretty clear what the C stands for) behind the back of The Director (i.e. without her knowledge) since the The Director was only aware of the one baby. Even caught up manga readers still don’t know exactly why Sawatari chose to clone Tokio and Kona’s baby.

Garlic

I think I just realized who the fish man eater was.

Anonymous

No mashal today?

Zerø

Anzu definitely looks like the woman that delivered the mc, she also had the disease so she was transforming into a hiruko confirming that she is one of the kids

2023-06-13 03:52:51 I don't think the announcement/pool scene was a matter of different messages, but just a case of kids who follow instructions. If there were different messages, I think the "swimsuit kids" would have countered with what they had heard (i.e.," but Meena told me to wear a swimsuit in the announcement...." or "I didn't hear hiruko, I heard XX...."). When the new student we haven't really met yet mentioned the whole, "when I heard hiruko, it was like I was hearing my name" I believe this is an indicator of Meena beginning to reveal the true nature of the kids and their existence and that this was supposed to be more of an intuition or eerie sensation the kids felt, not that they heard anything different.

Also, IDK if anyone else caught this sequence, but I noticed something about Meena in this episode which kinda of supports my theories on her earlier involvement. When the IT crew was putting together the wires not knowing why, Meena like y'all pointed out was definitely orchestrating something, but also, when she made an announcement to the kids, the two adults at the top didn't know what was going on either, and figured it was an assembly. Why wouldn't teachers or administration know of a scheduled assembly? I think Meena intentionally broadcasted only to the children which she's done before (calling Tokio to come see Tarao). I think these events are also linked to the end where Meena is shutting down and something is obviously being created or born. I didn't catch it before, but there are pods or something right? I think Meena may be doing something under the nose of the director and the school in general that has nothing to do with the director's plans. The earlier recalls I can think of that are similar was when something was occurring among the kids and the director asked Meena what she knew and she was basically like "girl no idk what's going on...do you know what makes you sick?" or something along those lines. Also at the very beginning with the test question change that only happened on Tokio's paper mentioning the outside, and of course the picture of Mimi getting sent to Shino which kind of kicked off the whole " oh damn, we didn't consider sexual development and curiosity amongst these children" when the kissing girls and Tokio/Kona came to be. Meena obviously is hiding things from the director as far as its/her motives, and has low key tried to encourage procreation amongst the kids seeing as how this seems to be the first encounter the adults have faced with developing sexuality/hormones considering there obviously were older kids like Kona that existed prior to all of this. Maybe Meena, if she's the only one behind this, is only now enacting her plans.

Merfhew

I know what you're trying to say, but seeing "Promised Neverland" and "2" leaves a bittersweet taste in my mouth. I'm not sure why though. Perhaps I've developed a mental block that shields me from recalling a massive disappointment?

Terry King Jr

I like Iruma-Kun but not for a reaction, it's long and mostly for the funnies with no substantial plot.

Merfhew

I have a new theory based on what we learned this episode (and a bit of stuff we heard in a previous episode), and I'm feeling pretty good about it for a change. As I haven't seen anyone else share that they came to this same breakthrough, I'll be holding off for now, but I love how much this show makes you think.

VictorBR45

In Mimihime's hallucination, we see a bunch of frames flash through. In one of them, we see a computer-like screen with the silhouettes of Kiruko and Maru.

Yvnngpd

Yes finithe last like 2 weeks I been saying ajin in the community hope they watch it's heat

Theo Vorster

Anzu doesn’t become Mikura, but we did see who becomes Mikura in today’s episode (and they even had speaking lines).

Theo Vorster

Very good observations, though Mīna telling Tokio that Tarao wanted to see her when his condition was worsening was something the teachers and staff were aware of (and perhaps even requested Mīna to tell Tokio).

Alaysia Moore

That's right! I forgot about that. Another thing I'll say is I'm not sure how whatever Mina is planning may differ from the director's. I don't necessarily think it's for the better of the kids, because it seems she's trying to push them out on to the world with their powers/abilities before the director can do the brain transfer. I wonder if they'll say why she specifically chose this group? Maybe they're the most advanced? I feel like if it was something to counter the director's plan (but failed based on the obvious present timeline) she would have maybe started to recruit the staff like the doctor and Aoshima? Or maybe it's still early enough for that to happen. This show really gets me to thinking, loving it so far.

Dark Danny

the plot is so great, some of yall dont even understand despite them literally laying everything out. i hope they can connect the dots next episode

Jacob R

I feel like the test is gonna be the robot fucking shit up in the facility and the kids having to escape since it said something about if you are lost just go wherever you believe is right.

Bret Mileski

wasn't it mentioned in the early episodes that they were looking for someone who had his face? this show is really good at planting seeds

HgAlice

I'm pretty sure Sheera was right since last episode there was an Ultrasound for Tokio and it only showed 1 Baby, so unless a second one magically appeared and had a 6+ month growth speed increase, Tokio definitely did not have twins. Even this episode, they did not refer to the kids as "Children" but just Child... both for Kona who was synced up to Tokio and the Director but they both just said child/baby and not the plural babies/children

Gloccr

I really hope they watch the Kdrama called Kindom

Papa Souls

Love'em, Hate'em, Cliffhanger Mondays

Lemon

So true. Best day of the week, Also the worst

Justin Neason

Waitt so the kids of the kids who turn into man eaters get man eater type powers but don't turn? Hence the baby with the ice and shit, and Maru? This is getting crazyyy, and some fan theories I saw are starting to make sense. Also the twins makes sense, remember Maru is supposed to look for someone with his face. If she's the mom, then it makes sense he's meant to find his twin. Now I wonder if the old lady will have transplanted into the twin by the time they find Heaven

Kami_Psy

Just a theory but I think that's what the lady meant by "look for someone with the same face as you". Maru is one of the babies and is unknowingly looking for his twin that literally has the same face as him.

Theo Vorster

It’s more that The Director is taking a gamble/bet that a child born naturally from the Hiruko students won’t end up catching and developing the mysterious disease (that according to Dr. Usami once a person becomes afflicted with it, if they later die they will transform into a Man-Eater).

earthphoenix7068

Such a good mystery, mysteries. It ain't just one plot point of like who is the serial killer for example.

Ijaaz Muhammad

Nah, this show is gas. I haven’t felt this annoyed at an ending credits scene for a series since AOT lol

Darion Dixon

Theory: I think the sound at the end was one of the kids turning into the hiroku. The one they call froppy is in the water and the bot said one of the test "problems will begin soon. Mihimime said her thing sees whats going to happen soon so if kona is turning then after the first the rest will be shortly after.

TheShortGuy

just spit balling here but what if one of the babies is maru and the other one is the maneater that imprinted on tokio

Nabi

yes, the switching scenes between fish's fight and Kuku & Tokio breaking into "babie"s room gave it away

HentiDenti

Pretty sure you are right, the Hiroku we have seen till now are all the kids that we see as well, first the girl who can climb walls like that and we encounter that one in the ocean, illusions and we see the one in the garage, Mimihime was the girl who was on life support and that is why she was terrified of needles because she could predict what was to come to her in the future. The doctor that was keeping her alive and gave her his eye was the boy that is in love with her with the white bowl cut the one that likes to make and tamper with things. Its slowly starting to show how it went from the school to where it is now. EDIT- another theory is that the doctor and the girl that he likes are the ones who took the baby and took care of it, the lady who got the disease and died and gave the kiru beam away could have been the same girl as well as the doctor who did the transplant might be the doctor we see now. They did talk about transplanting the brain into the director and it makes sense that he was the only one who could do that.

Nabi

If you remember, the Hiruko that killed Haruki was transparent, that was its ability, Kona's ability is not transparency

camille

Wow, i didn’t even think twins when i saw the other baby, but it definitely could be. For some reason i immediately thought clone. Like that one “baby” that saw Tokio, what if it’s them?

Nabi

if you haven't seen previous reactions and Roshi's explaination about Dr. Usami then don't read my comment, it's spoiler. The visions she saw; the computer and stuff and her fear of sharp objects might be because of her being in Usami's clinic in future and getting her limbs chopped off. It's also where she first saw Maru and Kiruko, so it makes sense to see their silhouette when hallucinating.

This episode and the one a couple weeks ago heavily imply it’s her plus I’m an anime only so it’s not like I’m spoiling

You're definitely supposed to think clone, since besides only seeing one baby initially, the second crib next to "Tokio Jr." is labelled "Jr. C".

2023-06-14 06:17:43 I don’t think she had twins, throughout the whole episode they were using ‘child’ instead of children. And if you go back near the end of episode 10 Tokio’s ultrasound only showed one baby. So this other baby ‘Jr.C’ is def a clone of the original.

As a manga reader I’m so mad y’all missed all the gems they dropped in this episode. This is when it all clicked for me. If u can go back to episode one and rewatch to now and you’ll realize everything they just told you. And u gone see who’s who and put the timeline together

**Spoiler Alert for some of the comments farther up in the comment section.** It's one thing to speculate and give your own theories, but it's another thing if you're just telling parts of the story that you read previously. Let the anime only watchers enjoy the suspense and guessing of it all. We want to watch what happens, not have you tell us what happens.

No reason to be mad brother, not everyone can comprehend this stuff as easily, especially and anime where you read something once and then you're being bombarded with more information, when reading you have more time to process and think before reading the next page. Just don't expect too much from reactions.

PLEASE SPOIL ME DO NOT CONTINUE READING IF YOU DONT WANNA FIND GET SPOILED. I’ve heard abt it but I don’t know who it Involves. Is it the main characters or Tokio n her baby daddy. I’m obviously being vague because I know someone still gonna read this n get mad for being spoiled

Zeraph

NOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭 I was hoping it was the other people

An interesting note about them being told about the test is that people working at the facility don't seem to know about it. Mina seems to have its own agenda, but because their teachers are the robots and their daily lives are basically automated so no one really questions what the kids are doing inside.

Next ep made me drop the show fuck that shit

Pan Cakes

yeah.. i dont know why the author added some cringe level shit like that, he couldve done it a different way.

I was hoping and praying that the next episode’s content would at least be changed for that one part but nope. Good luck y’all :)

iChris

Good luck with the next episode y’all :)

Yeh i think next episode is really gonna please Anakin. I just get the feeling... Whenever the AI is doing something fishy then it will always be bad!

its a dark fantasy and you didn't see that coming at any point in the manga or show? first timer I guess.

i maybe wrong but, i think the two girls who forced the father in the previous episode are the same girls who always kiss each other in the facility, they have the same hair colore

i understand it was weird and pretty gross. you also have the right to drop a show for wtv reason you want, but the show has hinted and portrayed dark themes like that since the beginning. its out right being shown, but still its always been there
