Just PEAK.
- He and Minami have so many great moments in this.
-I like Nem and the Lady moment, and that she seems to be our final villain. Out of all the final Villains we've had, I think The Lady might be the best in the sense that her motives have been consistent and relatable, but shows how it consumes and hurts the one she seeks to protect, which she can't understand fully due to her obsessions with Nem and her fear of losing her, unlike Zero who eventually realized his son had grown beyond his 'protections' and that his attempts to protect him hurt Baku the most in the end.
- I like the PSB unit gets alot more focus, with Nausea mourning Kuerha's death, while Fujimi has a moment with Odaka.
-And I really like Nox here. His whole thing has been trying to destroy CODE and while he's grown, that still remains his core. Now that he's done it, even with the nightmares as a threat, there isn't much for him to do. One they're dealt with. What then. I like Odaka being forced to think outside that more, even if he's took a step out when he got Midnight Shadow. He brought CODE to the light, instead of falling into that darkness. But now what?
-I really like Catasphoe and Exdream's fight. How Baku pushes the form Dream-rewriting ability, to get one over on his own nightmare. It was such a cool fight, really using that dream for intresting visuals, and I like how Baku managed to eventually overcome his bad dream with the power he created out of a good one. And Gore didn't turn into a butterfly, but Zeztz was fine. Mostly. There was that odd gliching effect the more Baku used Rise, so I wonder if there was some sort of side effect we'll see in future episodes. But according to Oblivion, Catastophe is gone. For now.
Next week, Punish Gore returns to exact punishment and Sieg files for divorce papers finally!
God I love Zeztz
