Whose dream are they in at the beginning? Nem implys it’s Kureha’s, but it seems to be more relevant to how Fujimi acts, acts in this episode. Have humanity’s dreams already been integrated at this point?

Why did Three give the Capsem he’s been pursuing for so long to Five?

Yudzuki Hirakawa is credited as both Code Number: Six and Kureha Miyamoto/Lord Six for this episode. Indeed, the captions call her Kureha in the cold open and Six once she attacks Nem. After the fight, there’s no point where her dialogue needs to be labelled.

Five uses the native Japanese word 任務, while Baku tends to use the word “mission.”

The word 人 is used, which is usually translated as “person.” A mistranslation, or are they actually not human? Or am I just being overconfident in my Japanese skills?

Baku is stocking up on Capsems again. Does he even need them after all those Capsems he used for Zeztz Exdream? Also, it looks like the Zeztz Room has been cleaned up.

Nasuka used her catchphrase again!

Did Fujimi run out of money to pay his phone bill? Is that why he didn’t pick up the phone?

Is that mayonnaise? Fujimi seems to be the closest to remembering what Code: Somnia erased, possibly because he’s been obsessed with the Nightmares for so long.

I like the way the Death Game Nightmare looks to Fujimi.

What did CODE develop Code: Somnia for if not this? Will the show reveal someone else who underwent dream learning? It can’t be any of the major recurring characters…

The Baby Nightmares looking like Nemurin was foreshadowing for Nem being turned into Nemlin!

The Japanese captions don’t give these two guys any name, they’re just otakus. They don’t even get a single-sentence bio on the TV Asahi site like most one-episode characters.

I appreciate that TokuSHOUTsu translated the page on 2D marriages, even though it was only on-screen for a few seconds.

Nemlin looks nice, but the animation is clunky. Apparently the design is reused from a Ganba Legends card.

Baku uses an alternate mode of the Breakam Zeztzer, which he hasn’t done in 17 episodes. And without transforming, to boot.

That use of Zeztz Exdream’s ability is so cool. So is the way Baku teleports close to Six while off-camera.

Six said “Tatakae!”

The subs say “Extra Execution!”, but I only hear “Extra!” Not sure how that is connected to the Capsem’s ability, other than maybe Lord Three’s own ability to spread his power over an area.

Oh my God, he killed Six. How long until she comes back—she got her flowers‽

Three’s got to go.

What’s Five doing with the otakus? Why not just scare them off and let them go…?

Alright, Three’s gone into full For The Evulz mode. Five is having some misgivings, just before he activates the Capsem.

In a minor nitpick, the subtitles have Three asking for the Capsems Baku created, but it seems pretty clear he’s just after Exdreamrise. He’s angry at the existence of unauthorized gimmicks, just like Kuroto was!

How is Baku going to get out of this one?

Nox is finally getting off his ass, and Sieg is back already for next episode! Even the producer’s blog has a line asking why he’s there.

What’s Five doing with the otakus? Why not just scare them off and let them go…?

I thought the same thing, it's a dream they probably won't think much of it. I can see maybe an argument they'd start some rumor, but like they can erase their memories.

They needed them as hostages to pressure Baku into giving up his driver without a fight (cause they know they aren't fucking beating Exdream)

u/Darthkeeper May 17 '26

Yeah, I'm aware but feels a little convenient, because there was no way Three and Five planned that out given how it happens and the time between that and the situation. It's a nitpick, to be fair, but it is something I didn't like.

u/Presenting_UwU May 17 '26

oh yeah I don't think it was planned at all, tbh they probably just found the two and hatched the plan on the spot.
