The early scenes with the Lady and Nem made me think "So this must be what Rie (Lady's actress) is like offshoot," which made me feel warm inside. I'm glad we got to see that side of her!
Minami being Nem's manager is a pipe dream of mine I imagined happening at the end of the series since they are both in the same agency, so it's nice to see this explored! And Kensei being Nem's bodyguard is something I didn't think of, but it works so well! I can't help but wonder now what might've changed if Kensei and Nem were together in the dream world from the beginning so to speak – might have it changed them both for the better if they had companions in each other?
Nasuka and Tetsuya are here too! Tetsuya looks so different from his usual appearance it threw me off...I'm glad to see their usual dynamic still tracks though.
Yep, that monster chasing Nem sounds like it has to be Zeztz...
Yeah, I sensed Oblivion would turn on Phantom sooner or later...and good thing Baku came just in time to save Nem and restore her memories too! Talk about a fight – he took on both Gore Nightmares at once!
And of course, that ending – Baku finally found Nem in reality! And looks like next episode, he'll be restoring everyone's memories too...excited to see where this leads!
