Wow what an episode! Macht v Kanata was awesome. Wild end to the episode too with tokio returning and learning about his connection to macht. Good to see him back in a coffin after his injury last season.

Seeing someone normally as composed and mysterious as macht just break down and scream like that when Tokio showed up was crazy. There’s a lot of deep rooted trauma there. Really need to learn more about he and Tokio’s backstory.

So ideal were the ones pulling Macht’s strings the whole time huh? Interesting. Their goal is the key(Noir) but then what’s their plan after that? Black hair mysterious dude seems like the leader.

So many more questions with this story

@Marinate1016 Good episode but that reveal was a bit predictable and weak sauce. I'm digging everything else though. That was a really good fight. They cooked with the animation this episode.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

Black Mask vs Kanata fight was done really well.

Oh boy that Plot Twist at the end.

Lots of big revelations here as Black Mask is Macht from Ideal, all while Tokio's real name is Licht, who has a strained history with Macht. And now I know that Rock Town is in Morocco seeing that Kanata and company traveled 2000 km to Tunis and getting to Cairo is going to take a whole lot longer. And on top of that, Kanata visited Fes earlier in the series, which is a real life city in Morocco. The shock values of these truths just keep piling on that all started when Noir's real identity is Mystere's safety mode. This raises a lot of questions.

Quite a balanced episode.. the parts of story that became predictable were counterbalanced with new revelations that incite suspense for more.. Black mask looks so ordinary without his "Black Mask" LoL.. Facial similarity between Licht and Macht makes me wonder if its the "brothers" or "clones" story.. Hope they continue the good pace its keeping..

The road to the Tunis ruins in Carthage, Mystere wants to locate Histoire, but as Tokio has assumed, it's Black Mask Macht and Schnee in their Gilbow Coffin, warranting Noir as their key. And in exactly where they are, a duel against Paradise's Ideal, it's the second round of Kanata vs. Macht in yet another face-off,

A duel for Noir, and it's a two-to-one race involving Jackbox. But as soon as Mystere finds a cover deep beneath to fire some rocket fuel to lay off more of their enemies, Macht is about to retrieve Noir for themselves, not before Tokio comes in with Johngasmaker to stop both Macht and Schnee. Turns out that Tokio has been watching them as the former member Licht, and this indeed, is a duel of fates.

Ideal is the common enemy pulled by Weisheit, no one can escape their grasp now.

I dont know what made the writers or screen writers think this episode is a good idea. I can roughly get they are trying to build suspense abouit Tokio, the black mask, and the organization called "Ideal" but i am just left confused and disappointed.

There was no foreshadowing Tokio is going to come, or if there is, I missed it in the episode a week ago or weeks ago. The whole episode just felt downhill after the attack on the radar.

Well at least the story is moving along now: happy to see things actually moving in the right direction. Can’t say I was too surprised at the twist at the end of the episode though. Looking forward to see how kanata takes it next episode though.

Of course Schnee would have an ice ability... Also, Tokio / Licht and Macht are related? Siblings, maybe. I wonder what happened between them and why Tokio is seemingly hiding behind a pretense name now.

I'm guessing Macht and Licht are siblings and Licht split from the Ideal group...

but damn was that a great episode

Tokio coming to save Kanata's ass again but this time he fought well but was outnumbered. We got to know Tokio's real name too and he's connected to Ideal somehow. Ciel kinda pissing me off btw.

Kanata packing on more and more debt to Tokio with each episode. Or he would, except Tokio helps him out unconditionally anyway, probably knowing that Kanata's coffin (Daisyogre) is really underpowered both offensively and defensively.

Black Mask and Tokio (who's other identity is "Licht") have a history with the Ideal organisation, and look awfully similar to each other too, so it makes you wonder what caused the fallout.

For how one-sided the mecha fight was, the amazing choreography and animation while it was being dragged out still captured the same anticipation you'd find from a more balanced match.
