The Chuohku Party of Words arresting all rap group members, they all have to work together to secure their escape, though it's clear that both parties of the rap groups and TBH have suffered under the women in one way or another, despite Kaibyakumon having to construct everything from the ground up, creating Beginning Gate. Therefore, it's decided that they'll work with the Party of Words to have their districts quelled of the riots first.

The second members of all rap groups descend into Shibuya, routing Chiaro and Kaibyakumon's AI-laden hypnosis program, which this is transferred to Scuro to carry on the deed.

Time is running out for all...there's still so much to do.

It's quite sad when you think about people died for real in a low-stake anime.

Another great episode with so much to appreciate: awesome closeup/solo shots of damn near everyone, some great interactions (Gentaro pls don't scare Juushi to death, also RIP Doppo ... again), interesting mix of division members - although if, as Rosho says, they're trying to prevent people from cooking up schemes on the spot, why would they put all their eggs, ie. the leaders, in one basket helicopter, that seems counterintuitive...... and once again the plot is deeper than it seems, who'd expect a lecture on how grief and regrets are so grey in their nature, that they can twist so many threads so badly? Also not quite sure I'd've been so quick to join up with Chuohku, especially when, as demonstrated, they could've broken free from those helis (why were those handcuffs so easy to get out of??).... Also can't help but wonder how weak does this make the government / ruling party? They need a quasi black ops unit to deal with a few hundred or few thousand rioters in a city as big as Tokyo? How do they even manage to stay in power? And still more lecturing on actual hypnosis (been kinda missing it tbh) and subliminal messaging. There was SO MUCH in this episode.

Did they remix the ED or am I hearing things?

Love all the new team-ups! Some of the groups dynamic are going to be so weird but also hilarious!!
The team leaders take care of things as always, nice to see Ichiro and Samatoki team up, also Jakurai so easily getting rid of his handcuffs and Ramuda just squeezing through them lmao. But also he keeps being a gremlin and trying to scheme, but loses against the majority vote XD
Gentaro don’t scare baby Jyushi like that! And lol Hifumi is still weakened, surrounded by women.
Ahah poor Doppo, he can’t handle all the craziness. Rio, Saburo and Rei actually work really good together. Dice was just going with the flow, but came in clutch in the end, as always. And Hitoya was just there.
I ship Akira and Satoru so much, you have no idea. They deserved so much better 💜💚

A temporary alliance between Chugoku and the Division All Stars has led them to be split into three groups. Rio's group was tasked liberating Shibuya which includes shutting down the server located there. Chiaro was waiting to battle them, but unfortunately his subliminal AI-lyrics were no match for Rio's group once they discovered to protect themselves by closing their eyes.

One server down, one more to go before facing off against Kaibyakumon.

@yellowheartren Hello. I’m pretty sure with every team they will arrange it differently and change the lyrics slightly. This time it was Dotsuitare Hompo. I actually quite like it. It sounds fun, just like the team themselves and ofc Sasara. :)

Man I love 3gumi so much, I'm glad we got an entire episode centered around them! They have such strong personalities and it's really fun seeing them together like this, since they're all kind of the "outcasts" of their divisions in their own ways. Doppo owned this episode honestly, I feel bad for him but his helplessness was also really cute and funny lol.

I can't believe the writers just keep torturing Akira and Satoru even AFTER they've already died, what the hell. TT___TT That final scene was one of the saddest things in all of this franchise imo, AI or not they didn't deserve to go through that loss and pain again... I hope they can pass on peacefully together by the end of this season :( I do like how dark and gloomy the villains' side of the story is, as much as it hurts I do enjoy the occasional angsty storyline. Still weird to see this much death and destruction in Hypmic though, and it just keeps getting wilder as the season goes on.
