| Quabara is one of the strangest character I've seen in this show... We got some fighting outside of the black sphere but man, this just got even weirder than I had expected. Idk what to think of Quabara except she is far from normal compared to the main cast. Shy's group continued to struggle inside the sphere and emotions are high as ever. |
 |
| The fight against the maniacs continues. Both Quabara's appearance and personality are quite freakish. Stardust is such a badass, but not badass enough to take Stigma down by himself. Ai and Mai merged? Wow, that was a shocking cliffhanger. |

| Whew another banger Shy episode. This arc just gets better and better and with that ending I can’t wait to see how shy gets out of this. Qabala is def an interesting character lmao she didn’t want anything to do with that fight, but her ability is scary as fuck. Stigma feeding her blood is some freaky ass shit. We finally got to see stardust going all out too which was cool, even with Qabala’s reflective ability he was able to overpower her and stigma. But man the way Stigma just seems to be a step ahead of everyone grates me. He knows exactly how to play with everyone’s emotions and I hate seeing what he’s done to Mai. Stardust giving him a big ass punch was satisfying as hell, but sadly not enough to take him out. Things with Mai and Ai inside the black sphere are breaking my heart tho. Ai’s desperate pleas to bring her sister back and Mai’s cold nonchalant attitude is just gut wrenching. I was surprised that Ai went straight in for the kill tbh.. if Mai didn’t have a plan up her sleeve that would’ve been a kill.. Now an injured Shy is gonna have to fight some fusion dance version of Mai and Ai lol. Hopefully Ai’s bodyguard doesn’t take too long to get there and help. |

| Stardust facing Stigma as a test to know his intention, more than the ring that they've researched on, Quabala being forced to fight against him is not something she wishes to do, but she has no choice either. That easily leaves him against Stigma, though Quabala has her quirks of being able to possess anyone, leaving the hero vulnerable to their will. Even then, Stardust is not an easy hero to deal with either, having learnt the disabilities of heroes like Teru to form a stronger heart, proven by his immaculate powers. Needless to say, Amamaririku's goal for the heroes to break the black orb from within to feed the seeds of fear from within the sphere to the outside world, it's not a good proposition for the heroes to save those within and outside of the sphere. And within, both Teru and Ai not being able to surpass Mai whilst still having her skills intact, it's Stigma who gave her the meaning of life, and that exact fear overwhelms the heroes against the one without a heart. For someone like Ai who can't forget about her own betrayed twin sister, she has to deal with her sooner or later to get rid of her, thus becoming one central being...? What a plot twist between Shinobi of the same family... |
 |
| I was not expecting for both Ai and Mai to literally merge, wow. I wonder if they will have internal conflict on subjects such as killing off Shy and also if this can be reversed. There's also the issue of the black orb exploding and spreading fear throughout the world as Stigma warned. |
| That's pretty cool that the ghost girl was voiced by Izumi Kitta AND she did the Tomoko Kuroki voice. |
| Stardust was awesome, I still think the bull guy's outfit looks a bit silly. New character arrives? Shinobi fight was good, ending with a twist, but all of the grandstanding about justice and stuff gets a little repetitive after a while. I feel like too much dialogue, instead of increasing the emotional impact, hinders the experience. You have to balance it a little bit. Plus most of the dialogue is empty platitudes that are set on auto-repeat just with slightly different verbiage. Anyways, still a nice show. |
 |
| Solid episode! Stardust was amazing. That ending though, is this what Stigma anticipated? I suppose merged girls can easily break the barrier and unleash chaos to the outside world. Don't think Shy can do anything at this point, especially alone. |
| Man what an episode, Better than the last absolutely. We got more of that unsettling trippy horror imagery again this episode which I love. Stardust going fully out on Stigma was crazy to see. I imagine we'll see Stigma again this season. But I'd be surprised if he goes down this season. I really doubt the anime has caught up to the manga. |
| I liked Quabara a lot. what's up with this show having cool looking villains with personalities that I like, I can only root for the heroes for so long... Nice twist, Mai actually wanted to be killed by Ai herself. |
| ok seriously... yes, i like this guy and that hes not an "i dont fight women" cuck, BUT |

| One of the best episodes of the show yet, and it was one of the only ones that truly felt like this was a superhero anime |
| The budget has vanished. That Stardust ED goes hard though. |
| that heroine only can crying and do nothing .. too weak and BASED Naive character |
| I got a bit of a laugh out of that tongue pull face slam move from Stardust did to Quabala ...wait hold up....her name is kabbalah/qabalah just spelled slightly different. She possibly is named after a Jewish mysticism for whatever reason. Maybe a weird coincidence. Ai and Mai merging into one being was not something I saw coming. |

| I really like how Stardust saw the danger Stigma was and decided to take him on his own. That was quite the ending, Mai got Ai to do exactly what she wanted to. |
| I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together. VTUBER LIVE STREAMS YouTube/Twitch/Kick/Rumble/Twitter = https://linktr.ee/dolfunthedolphinvtuber ANIME REVIEWS - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3agtBvVDdHFzXbqPV47c-A  |
| What a pathetic display from Shy and Ai. They should learn from Stardust. Mai was waiting to merge, now she looks like a kitsune onna. |
 |
| Stardust's battle with Quabala to a live audience of the entire world was neat. Quite the quirky ghost she is! Man, I really thought I had a clue about Mais motive. The forced fusion of darkness definitely threw me for a loop. |
 |
| Oh dear, Mai tricked Ai. This is really bad. How will Shy fix this problem? |
