Nice reveal that Maryrose was Master Robe. I've really been loving the mystery of this season, definitely an improvement over S1.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

To me it still was a surprise that it was Maryrose but wasn’t surprised it was her at the same time considering she’s one of ppl focused on in the ED, I was just wondering when she was gonna fit into the story and I guess it was this episode that she fit in😯

I am at a lost as to what game Mary Rose is playing. Is she is an emissary of Christopher? I thought he was the one locked up at first. Then I thought it was Plum's shadow. Now, I have no clue.

John arriving late and repeating "Barbara and Maryrose are Peers?!" was so funny.
Having read the Manga the reveal wasn't a shock.

So Kate has her memories from before she became a shadow, they are known as morphs. Interesting info. Also Maryrose was the one under the robe, not really a surprise but it was well done.

This would have been more tense if they weren't screaming.

Emilico having the best hint and not telling until they have done most of their deduction could have been done better.

The culprit couldn't be a member of Kate's retinue, couldn't be a star bearer, couldn't be an adult, and had to be someone who had received a decent amount of screen time. The only character who fit all those points was Maryrose. I know this isn't necessarily a mystery anime but that was still disappointingly predictable.

More infos revealed about Kate was definitely surprising. Probably the best part of the entire episode.

I am a bit sad because I was expecting a big plot twist or something... Maybe it was kinda of a big reveal in the manga, but the animation staff gave us the favour of showing Maryrose in the ED even though she barely had any screen time, so it was expected she would have a bigger role sooner or later.

Starting to think that Kate is hiding her true plans and she actually doesn't want to just change everyting. Maybe she still wants the morphs to take human forms as Shadows and live together confined, but not by brainwashing the humans into thinking they are dolls? Maybe that's part of the reason why Maryrose said to Emilico that she is not an ally neither enemy.

I don't know, in this kind of stories, I usually start to doubt about the main character instead of the antagonists, so maybe I am just overthinking.

Also, I love John. Everything he does is stupid and cute. What an amazing and adorable character.

That was such an intense episode, the vibe was terrific.

Wow, that was a lot of progressions, Maryrose was Robe-sama, Kate is truly smart. Introduction of Morphs too, now more mysteries are waiting to be discovered. Seeing John stood up for Kate was amazing

I knew it! Maryrose was the robed guy. I didn't know why but my deductions on the culprit was on point!

lol patrick



I like john for restoring kate's emotions. even if kate doesnt like john, John is the best person to rein in Kate and support her.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Maryrose being the robe is one of those things that’s so obvious you start doubting yourself and eliminating her lol. But no shock there at all.

The special morphs reveal was probably the most interesting thing this entire season for me though. The fact there’s shadows who remember life before they began to mimic humans is really fascinating. What was it like? What made the shadows start doing it and what’s their endgame? Hopefully we learn more of that soon.


Was about to post the EXACT same thing, LOL~!x'D>/ But yeah, I think it was pretty obvious that Maryrose was the culprit. To start with, it couldn't be Barbara and Barbie since we see them fighting the robed figure at the start of the 1st episode. Also, there's plenty of hints dropped throughout the following episodes such as Rosemary being the one who brings the phantom in both instance of it appearing or how she reacted to Louise's questions in the last episode about what it's like to be an adult shadow and the tests they need to pass and such things. Also, I did think it could be Christopher just like Kate inferred at first but an adult would definitely have an harder time moving about freely in the Children's wings.

The morph thing was explained briefly at the end of S1 but nice to see it being brought back in conversations, I do agree that it is a very interesting topic to broach, maybe in a potential 3rd season or later in this one, as meeger the chances of it happening are..>:P>

A revelation that will set the tone for the rest of the season can only hope to leave the audience anxious for more, which is exactly what has happened here. It also helps to have it confirmed that Kate remembers things from before she was a human-esque Shadow, even though it's been subtly insinuated throughout the series. I applaud you, Shadows House, you keep me enthralled, despite often leaving me in the dark, no pun intended.

I'm glad it didn't turn out to be Christopher. As soon as he was out of the picture the name I was expecting to come out of her mouth the most was Maryrose. Makes sense why they give her so much protagonism with the ending and all.

Well, I'm glad that Master Robe wasn't Christopher after all, but was in fact Maryrose this whole time. In hindsight, I should have wondered why she was so prominent in the ED, but I was so fixated on the Chekhov's Gun of Christopher's backstory that I was completely blindsided to any other possibility.


same lol
Barbara and Maryrose def have some beef going on that needs to be resolved

Now if you look at the KV of this season or even the whole of ED, it's obvious who the robe creature was the whole time. Makes sense too, atleast more than having someone like Cristopher coming out as one. Still those last few minutes were nothing short of some crazy tense drama.

Everyone saying it would have been less obvious if she wasn’t so prevalent in the season 2 art and ED, I refrained from seeing either I don’t watch ED or Openings in case of spoilers and don’t even know where you’d see the art and it’s still was just as obvious, from her face being the one to realise the scourges and that scene where it implied she messed up her faces room and cut the doll amilico gave hers, head off, it was a real unsatisfying reveal however I think the morph reveal made up for it.

Maryrose better have done something to make sure Rosemary was safe and without too much pain, that's just a plain cruel way of getting an alibi.

So they are called morphs? I thought they were referred to as faeries before.

But yeah no I never really got the hints besides the one scene Lou went to her room and she was looking and acting sus.

REALLY proud of myself for being able to correctly deduce the identity of the Robed Noble! It was fun trying to solve it alongside Kate and friends.

Who would've thought that the OP (Shall We Dance? by ReoNa) would be a vital clue?

This was really fulfilling. The dynamics of them figuring it out over Patrick's love prospect was interesting. Emilico and the other dolls playing little to no role in this episode was a very interesting choice.
