Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction (ONA) Episode 13 Discussion

I still feel like it would have been better to put the whole flashback here instead of back when Oran met Oba, but we get the summation here and the full story now, so it still works out as a cool story and Oran's strong dedication to Kadode.

5 episodes and 5 days left until humanity's destruction!

does the manga have the same '5 days until humanity ends' '1 month until humanity ends' cards?

Good episode, could have been more impactful if the series was structured a bit better at times but there is still impact in there with focusing on Ouran's backstory with the different timelines and how much the impact of Kadode's suicide in her original lifetime left her feeling. This really does re-contextualize Ouran as a character beyond just a comedic, over-the-top personality and gives those scenes much more weight considering what she went through to get to this point. At least visually, this episode delivered strongly.

Really strange episode; the time shifting seems a little unecessary but may prove more important later. I guess she didn't throw away the gun since everyone showed up so this may be a problem later.

Edit: it seems I missed a couple episodes that might give more impact to this one.

You know when Ontan starts to get serious, shit IS serious. Shit was serious indeed because we finally uncover the whole thing when it came to Ontan and Kadode's backstory, and ofc, that their from different timelines..... WHAT. Up till now, Ontan was nothing more than the "meme" character of the show that when serious was serious, like I said. But this episode completely flips that script.

I mean, now everything we saw in that Kadode backstory episode makes so much sense now and I love it. Loved the direction of this episode as well. The little things like when the aspect ratio went from 4:3, signifying that up till now, Ontan wasn't sure of the future and of herself, but then, as she rewrites the script and saves Kadode, it goes back to the normal aspect ratio. PEAK CINEMA.

TWO KISSES BACK TO BACK EPISODES?? THAT'S A BIT TOOOO HAPPY NOW. Yeah shit is NOT looking good for these next couple of episodes.

This episode is nice, I finally got to see what happened after those 2 amazing flashbacks episodes which I loved, those were the best episodes of the whole anime since it's dark and emotional, it took a while to see the outcome but it's finally here, what I do find weird is the alien guy showing that random girly guy the things that happened in the other world line, why should he know? I don't find that guy to be important to the story, he's just a random NPC in this anime so far so why should he get to see something as important as that flashback? I would have preferred if that flashback was shown to Kadode instead so she could see the things that she did in the other world line to make her reflect about it or something and make the story dark and emotional again. I also would have preferred if this type of episode was shown a lot earlier, right after the 2 awesome flashback episodes.

I do have a question, what happened to Ouran in the previous worldline after she entered that time machine thingie? did she disappear from that worldline to merge with the Ouran from another worldline? or did she send her memories and keep existing normally in that other worldline?

Anyway, pretty good episode, one of the better episodes for sure, 5 more episodes to go, I only hope this anime stops doing the Slice of Life stuff already and gets serious from here on.

@xZabuzax well... In the manga the flashbacks episodes were supposed to be here, I feel Makoto was shown it since the focus is on Ontan and the story didn't want to let Kadode see it and then directly move to meeting Ontan, also he is there to comment on the situation, Kadode would be in too much shock. They had to have an outsider and between broccoli head, Makoto and Futaba Makoto was the best choice
It was said that Ontan's consciousness was transferred so they merged

Yeah, the anime did say that, so Ontan's consciousness was transferred to another worldline, this part I get, what I don't get is what happened to the Ontan from that other worldline after she transferred her consciousness, she kept existing normally in that other world line, right?

@xZabuzax I feel like not due to some explanation in the manga on how consciousness works that was skipped and some more stuff, but there isn't a full answer

@Guilmon1 Hmmm I see, if she did disappear then it's weird to see her brother agreeing to it, I mean, he basically helped her disappear out of existence, she's basically dead in that other world line and she didn't even say goodbye to her parents, family or friends, it was kinda selfish of her.

Anyway, if the anime skipped some details about how the world lines or consciousness work, I don't mind the spoilers.

@xZabuzax
^^explanation to the timeline hopping
It makes sense for his character because of his ideology of finding someone you care for and protecting him, in his case it's Ontan, he will care more for her wellbeing than his own
And Ontan is selfish, don't forget she literally risks dooming a timeline to save Kadode

I thought this gonna be a good sci fi anime but it turns out time travel f*ckery. I just wasted my time, the romance are unnecessary(it never existed). Dropped

When is the next episodes release date????
