I smell a feeling of revenge from this episode.

And also, Tetsuro has yet again have to deal with his past. He has so much shit to deal with now that I feel bad for him. Juuzou also got a bit of screen time and didn't back without a fight as expected. It's time for Tetsuro to accept his present and create the ideal future for himself.

Sorta figured that Juzo wasn't being controlled, considering that he was being silent. Also damn, even Tetsuro getting in on the action, next week gonna be another tense episode. Can't wait.

I know there was more to the old man than we'd seen. Next episode is going to be intense.

I kinda hoped that Spitzbergen would help, but nah I guess. Interesting to see that Spitzbergen was originally a good organisation and it only became a terrorist organisation when a lot of people joined.

Tetsuro moment to shine? Let’s fucking gooooo. Old man’s extended form is the stuff of nightmares. I’d rather be dead than alive that way. Nice set up episode for what I’d imagine will be a big fight next week. Hype

Spitzburgen's Professor Wachowski truly is a mysterious person, but not for the lack of trying. His ambition in overthrowing Beruhren's cruel experimentations whilst creating his own organization as an anti-government faction (which turned fully to terrorism), that was a sad reality to swallow.

Juzo being silent and independent from Tetsuro was such a masterpiece plan (considering that Tetsuro hasn't mastered Harmony enough to completely take over Juzo, and even if it did, the success varies that's seen in Season 1), a diversion that warrants more world building to the greatest.

Oh, so Juzo is not just a regular Gun Slave Unit, but crafted by the professor in tandem for use with someone who has Harmony. Problem is, that's then, but now is different. Tetsuro's disagreement to Wachowski's expose being an Extended (a bigger version of Lefty), he is NO different from Beruhren.

Time to fight back all that retaliation with revenge!

I had a feeling Wachowski was an extended, but definitely didn't expect it to look like that!

It was kind of obvious that Juzo wasn't being controlled by Tetsurou since he wasn't saying anything.

Also, of course the old man was an extend, why would he miss out on that kind of technology especially considering his past and being physically disabled. However, I wasn't expecting his extend to look like a dog lol.

Bravo, Tetsurou! He impressed me towards the end. I hope he can hold his own against the old dog.

Surprisingly its turned out good. Juuzo and Tetsuro tricks the professor on the first scenes somehow shocked me. Its a brilliant idea to hack his own sub brain, nice Tetsuro! The battle of ideology between the professor and Tetsuro had some great moments. Its also revealed some of the dark past surrounding the history of Beruhren, the reason they became a massive evil company, and else.

The sacrificial thing surely was not the main goal that Tetsuro's present personality had. While in another matter, the professor really wanted the power of GSU very hard that he needed to sacrificed every resource he had, even on his own body. Yeah, thats some kind of disgusting over extended i've ever seen on this series. The spider girl from the season one had an awful appearance first. But, since she was a girl, i don't mind her. However, now, the old man, with awful body that fully controlled by extensions like that were so ridiculous. His design, tho. By any means, and make it short, could Tetsuro survived professor massive attack? Was he succeeded to control the body of professor in the end?

In the other side, Juuzo as powerful as expected. Even if he got paralyzed again with some kind of needle that had a similarity from the EMS guy from the S1, he still freely hit him. Still, its take a lot of strain from his body that somehow kinda stressed him out so much. Now i am worried with his consciousness. Lets just see the next one to concluded everything.

No Pepper, this episode only reserved on my fine level.

Hmm so iirc Pepper has been speaking with 4 giant robot statue like things or something like that in some big room in the past. I guess they would be the 4 og Berühren members like externalized in extended god form.

This episode was filled with exposition like the last, but it at least felt more natural to do that here rather than the last where I really wanted to actually see Juzo in the past going on the hunt and whatever.

Tetsuro Character development in this episode is so good. I actually didn't think Tetsuro would control Juzo because he values Juzo a lot. Tetsuro finally taking action.

This was so edictable and the backstory was quite boring. Welp Tetsuro used harmony on that old guy/extend. Thou I feel like he has some sort of blocking mechanism that will allow him to block harmony, proly.

Yeah saw the twist coming last episode.

Tetsuro finally figured it all out, good on him.

But there was a severe lack of Mary this episode. That is unacceptable.

Hacking your own sub-brain? Clever but having another controlled Extended hidden somewhere might have been better. Just saying~

Anyways, good episode overall. Particularly liked the idea of both Berühren and Spitzbergen starting as good-intended organizations but got corrupted in the end by human greed and hatred.

As for Tetsurou, I gotta admit it. He has become more and more likeable since he was kidnapped and though he still has some pretty optimistic ideals, I'm glad to know he's confident enough in them to the point of giving his own life. He has certainly grown a pair in the last minutes of this episode.

Did i miss the part which explained why assisting Behruren by unlocking Juzo's potential equals to 'sacrificing' him? Like, will he die in the process or what's the actual matter? Can't he just ask Juzo to cooperate and let himself be hacked by Harmony to fight the Seven and then go back to normal after defeating him?

Well, Juzo wasn't being controlled by Tetsuro in the end. It was so obvious. The episode was ok since we know more about Spitzburgen, the rest was meh especially Tetsuro asspull during the last seconds of the episode. I also agree with the comment above, they should have asked Juzo while Tesuro does whatever he has to do to Juzo so he could defeat Seven. It was the most logical thing to do.

So much about the old man's past and Beruhren that I honestly don't care about.

I did like to see that Juzo and Tetsuro cooperated in the end, rather than Tetsuro using Juzo's body as a tool. It shows how much they've grown over time.

I love Tetsuro, honestly. A lot of people think he's dumb and stupid, much like a stereotypical shounen MC, but his actions these past few episodes have really impressed me.

Well should've expected the creator of extension technology to have a extended body himself, but damn that body is creepy. Glad that Tetsuro has matured quite a bit compared to the start of the series.

So the main goal of the baddies is immortality and its crazy both organizations became corrupt as time went on. I didn't think the old man was an extended and shows im pretty dumb. Since hell hes the creator so why wouldn't he outfit himself with some. Also his transformation was resident evil level of creepy.
