Super interesting developments going on in this episode! So Nagumo is really a pen name for Hizuru AND her brother Ryuunosuke, so they are known as one entity. And Hizuru records her messages by phone so her brother can know what's going on whenever he switches back to the surface of their dual personality. Crazy. I like it.

Note: The Shadows can communicate telepathically! Makes lots of sense now that I think about it.

And I'm super curious about two things: Why were Ryuunosuke and Ushio murdered differently than the rest of those the Shadows have killed? Also, still wondering why Nagumo is there to save/protect Shinpei in the first place? They seemed to have known about Shinpei beforehand.

Goddamn it takes quite the team effort to take down a single Shadow Shiori, the Shrine Festival massacre will happen again at this rate

So it's Ushio's turn to change this timeline huh

Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

Ryuunosuke and Hizuru, oh, she is so beautiful and interesting. They caught Shiori and her family, so for now everything was right until... wooooow, Ushio appeared.

I highly doubt they communicate over long distances like that or maybe there is someother caveat like only the leader/unique ones(example shiori) could communicate like that to its minions since shadow shiori could have alerted others about the attack on it in the previous timeline and would've made others like shadow mio know about the shadow killer and to be wary of her

counterattack loop turned out to be succesful or now, since it is a longer show it would not surprise me to see falling apart. Hizuru really was hardcore Shadow Buster, didn't expect her to operpower them.

I'm glad that they always keep the tension and right out scary scenes on a nice level,
even when the action was on a high peak.


Haha nice trick, I really thought there was killer Mio in the kitchen.

This was so good! Hizuru is revealed to have another personality and they took out the family of shadows. It's good to know that someone could only be copied one time. The ending with Ushios shadow in his house. how is he gonna handle it?

Its amazing how well they have captured the creepiness of the shadows. I loved the lore reveals of this episode as well.

Laughed when Ushio came just as Shinpei was thinking of minimising changes in the events. His plans went out in flames completely.

action packed episode!!! ryunosuke's pretty cool himself. im assuming this "split personality" thing has nothing to do with any fantasy stuff yeah? its purely a psychology thing. nagomu unconsciously created ryuunosuke as a part of her to cope on what happened 14 years ago. thats heartbreaking man.

ushio again omfggggg CAN WE NOTT. i end up liking her way too much even tho i know she's dead and even if this shadow ushio isnt "bad" she'll be gone anyway

So, major revelations of this episode in short:
1. Some shadows are trickier to kill, not just bash the shadow and be done with it.
2. Three pins are all it takes to "Capture" a shadow
3. I have been simping for a half-boy all along. (Hizuru has Dual Personality, one of her dead brother)
4. Early Ushio return, means a. Possibly a love issue, since both sisters has hots for Shinpei and b. most of Shinpei's memories from the last cycle is useless now.

Man this show does not stop giving. Brutal action sequences this episode and the mystery keeps building with little bits of info coming in. Ryuunosuke being inside Hizuru might be related to shadows in some sense. I mean obviously he was killed by a shadow, but he has a special power the same way Shinpei does right now. Plus this Haine character is tying both of them (and maybe their powers) together in some way.

Ryuunosuke’s character is just so entertaining and interesting at the same time. Shinpei's trying his hardest not to change the course and follow the same steps as his previous lives but out of nowhere, a yellow haired girl pops up behind him xD

This episode couldn't have been any better, it was perfect! Like they all teamed up so fast and they did a great job, like they killed the "family" of shadows.
Hizuru is the badass and brain character that we needed ;)

Now that ending, Ushio for sure knows it all and i can't wait for the next episode!

Now that we know Hizuru’s personality changes depending on whether or not her hair is tied, earlier scenes with her will make much more sense on a rewatch.

The existance of a potential endgame is interesting, I liked how the anime is building up the knowledge with Shinpei and using the different tools progressively. The split personality is quite... puzzling? I would like to know its importance in the story. I also want to note how immersive the sounds of the anime are, it creates a fantastic atmosphere

HOLY FUCKING SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I literally got goosebumps when ushio suddenly appeared. This is sooo good bro, had to upgrade my rating from 8->10 after this episode.

This whole episode was so entertaining, didn't realise when 20 minutes were over. This really is the hidden gem of this season, more people need to know about this.

I don't really understand the "dual personality" thing but seeing Hizuru getting kind of flustered like that was a treat to watch. Nothing better than watching tough women in anime getting embarassed lmao.

Oh boy, can't wait to watch the next episode. 5/5.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

That whole thing with the dual personality is pretty cool.

Okay, I said at first i didn't really like Ushio because the tone of episode 5 really threw me off, she reminds me too much of Kaori from Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso/Your Lie in April but that last part was pretty funny ngl.

Great action packed episode, from annihilating Shadow Kobayakawa family and the third degree of Siori's unique one to some Hizuru's split personality backstory and that unpredictable ending inside Kofune house. I applaud to the scene director.

I'm still confused regarding Hizuru and her twin bro. Does she has split personality or is it some sort of supernatural phenomenon by which the bro takes over her body? The old man said to MC that it's close to dual personality and not that itself, so something else?

I feel like Hizuru criticizing Shin for asking about the duality of a perfect copy and original human was a bit premature. I don't get the feeling that Shin is necessarily sympathizing with them or even hesitating. I think he's more or less thinking out loud. And I don't see why she wouldn't offer an opinion on it either, it's clear he looks up to her and is just trying to make use of her vast insight.

While Shin was hesitating a bit with Ushio, I don't think he'll have a problem with Mio. This is because Mio seems to be more Shadow-esque and working toward wiping out humanity. She isn't making use of the original personality at all. I'd assume any consideration Hizuru may think Shin has for the Shadows would simply come from him not knowing whether or not Ushio is the real or fake.

With all that being said, I'm starting to wonder if Ryunosuke's personality is a Shadow himself, and it just attached itself to Hizuru out of a sense of familial love. Much like what Shiori's Shadow was talking about with her family, and how Ushio's Shadow was shown acting toward Shin and Mio. Considering Hizuru found Ryunosuke dead, any remnants would theoretically have to be a copy. So unless Hizuru pulled some Fullmetal Alchemist shit, I'm guessing he is a Shadow.

Anyway, this is going to become a problem much sooner than later if every time he loops something different happens. Though, at this point, I can't imagine any sort of endgame for stopping the festival. Kill every single Shadow... maybe?

I love Hizuru sledgehammer Action scene.

Kobayakawa Family Shadows are being taken care now..
so you kill the shadow once and got immunity, good analogy using chickenpox.

slight changes affect things too, it's butterfly effect all over again...

Same here. I'm confused as well. At first, I thought maybe she was transgender, but that wasn't it. Then, I thought it was just the brother with fake boobs that was following his sister's order via phone. But that wasn't it either. Then, I saw how he punched himself in the face to become 'her' again. I guess it's maybe a split personality? But didn't the old man say something to Shinpei that he's close on the dual personality but not quite right? So, did they (the brother and sister) somewhat merge in a body or something?

So Hizuru's personality is split with her twin brother's one that got killed 14 years ago by the shadows, it makes sense why she's so determined to get her revenge and knows well about the shadows, also interesting that they're able to catch and immobilize the shadows when they pin it on the ground 3 times at least... now Shiori's whole family is done but it will surely continue...
