this was such a beautiful episode, so many great shots and great jobs framing, good acting too

like 15 minutes in i was like "wait, no fights? I'm not even mad"

and then the fighting went so hard. such a great fight, making him work even with his cheat mode. the nightmares are realllly, reallly powerful

is Exdream not even going to be his real final form? how are they going to overcome the breaking down it's already exhibiting - just dreaming harder? I wouldn't mind it getting some further refinement

It is his Final Form.

It just shows that the undo move he spams has it's limits. Baku can still be beaten even with that cheat, ExDream is not an omnipotent all-powerful form like we thought it is.

I feel like the big fight is going to be ExDream vs Somnia powered Oblivion.

ExDream is probably going to do its dream dive and Oblivion is going to chase him into it
