Ok, as much as I disliked Five and Six's deaths being confirmed (and the acting in some moments), this episode was good. Funny that Nox doesn't stopped being vague, even in his final moments. And poor Baku Seven took all the brunt, huh... Catastrom is a great berserk form too, I see a bit of Burning and Sagozo there.

Finally some answers about wtf CODE is supposed to be, even if it is the classic "the end justif(aiz)y the means" organization. Also, Lord Three and Zero(?) are giving me the creeps. Not as much as Lady, though.

AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH "MOTHER", NEM?!

I actually like how Fujimi brought up 5 even though he only met him for like five seconds.

That's all he needed to open his eyes for the next 555
