wow... where's the horror tag? Please, bring back Mutsumi. This is Mortis, not Mutsumi.
Ave Mujica's situation was getting worse and worse with each episode, and this time, they gonna disband for real?

Where's Kasumi? we really need her therapy.

Let the drama continue.

This is just getting too depressing. I miss my good old fluffy and wholesome Bang Dream! :(

Mortis is kinda creepy.

I'm so impressed by how accurately they're portraying dissociative identity disorder. I don't think people realize that 100 percent of what we've seen so far is. realistic. It's fiction, but it's a form of real experience that most people don't get to see.

I think this is the start of Ave Mujica's real story. I also like Mutsumi/Mortis voice acting. It is really nice.

We can see Nyamu and maybe a bit of Umiri's story in this episode but I still don't understand something with Uika. The only one know about Sakiko's condition is Mutsumi. Mutsumi and Sakiko actually care a lot about each other. I think Mortis hates Sakiko because she hurts Mutsumi because we know Mortis acts as Mutsumi's protector.

I can't wait for the next episode, I am curious about the story :)

It was a completely different person–
I thought Mortis would be scary (she is) but she's actually just cute and dumb(?), she can't play guitar so she just want to do the live shows as some sort of performances? All that matter is, the group (band) stays together.

Just sorting out what I think:

Really like how the whole horror thing was done, and the Mortis jumpscare, creeepy.
Looks like Ave Mujica will be disbanding (for now)... everyone is going solo... at this point Sakiko really lost everything...

Yeah, someone please call Kasumi already.

Her name is Mortis who now takes over Mutsumi who is sleeping in the void, but now, is it time for her to go?

Mortis' appearance in this episode really scares me, instead of being cute, she really demonstrates how her nature is the opposite of Mutsumi. Even so, her appearance also has a reason, since Mortis and Mutsumi are already tied to each other, it is only right that Mortis now appears to replace the desperate Mutsumi.

Meanwhile, I also feel sorry for Sakiko now, seeing her depressed and confused plus now she loses Mutsumi who always supports her, I'm worried she will feel guilty and blame herself for having been indifferent to Mutsumi. I will be more curious to see how Sakiko's development in keeping this band alive in the future, or maybe?

Mutsumi broke apart, and now the band almost disband and making Mortis breaking down too. What will we see next?

We get more clues about other characters as well, like Nyamu and Umiri, while Uika still remains almost the same.

Poor Sakiko though, she is just a teenager and going through all of this shits is not an easy thing.

And the most painful thing is... We need to wait for another AveMuji Thursday in next week.

MORTIS' VOICE ACTING AFTER THE ENDING SONG WAS INSANE?!
Mortis is such an interesting character, and I wonder when we'll get to see Mutsumi again... I'm really enjoying the stuff going on with those 2 and I think this is a beautiful depiction of DID so far. It's nice that the other characters even acknowledged it. The scene with Sakiko and Mortis was so beautifully done, both visually and the dialogue. They're really doing some psychological horror stuff and I think that's so cool.
And someone please take Sakiko out of her suffering and misery... She doesn't deserve any of this :C
All in all... I'm loving Ave Mujica so far... Each new episode breaks me in thousands of little pieces. 100% worth the wait.

Things are so bad in this group that even Mutsumi's second personality, suffers just like the first. The last few minutes were hard to watch, I felt sorry for Mortis. Nyamu is the only one I like as a character so far, and the group will probably be saved later by MyGo!!!!!.

I'm sorry but I didn't like this chapter at all. the series has turned its cards face up too soon. now it turns out that mutsumi has a different personality, sakiko feels guilty, now They give us the cliché that they are going to separate to give us more drama, when we all know that evangelization will come later. With a darker tone and with more drama, but it is following the same path What a mygo. "After the storm comes the calm. I could be wrong, but I've seen this before

Weekly reminder all this is Nyamu's fault and I can't believe she has the gal to even act like this. She should have just left since ep 1 instead of removing everyone's mask and causing all of this in the first place...

So one is going through a mental break after basically backing herself into it, one is so self absorbed that for the first time she's not the center of attention she's now "putting up with things just like everyone else and they need to grow up too", and one seems to be totally fine quitting or continuing and will just back the louder side. Also weird how they're trying to paint Misumi's main motivation of her wanting to be close to Sakiko as a bad thing like she's as bad as the rest.

Someone please get Mutsumi some help. I didn't think anything would break her mind further, but Ave Mujica's disbandment did it to her.

Alright, time to go back to waiting and suffering from the lack of new episode.

@Aleksu if people actually talked to each other from the start, this part of franchise would not have all of the drama happening. It is what it is.

Sakiko is still a very polarizing character. She does not deserve all of the suffering but large portion of it is a result of her own action (or more like inaction with being to focused on her plans and missing everything else).

@Hormigo yeah. I don't like that it's a multi-media franchise and you are expecting that everything will be fixed in the end. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the IRL band, music, etc. anymore.
Despite that, I'm enjoying this anime very much.

I'm genuinely confused about the disband plot. There are already too many shareholders involved and clearly one member can't perform on stage due to her mental health. Normally they need to contact their manager and figure out an emergency plan for the Live tomorrow, and it's not a decision they can make simply by themselves. The plot feels rushed and skips a good chunk of the story straight to the band's disbanding on stage.

It feels like a story worth 2 episodes being squeezed into one, without enough explanation. I think it works better if this episode ends at the point of Sakiko confronting Mortis, and the rest of the episode deserves one full episode.

The Mortis-Mutsumi dialectic is truly incredible. Mortis cares for Mutsumi, but resents the the relationships Mutsumi has. On the other hand, in order to resolve issues stemming from Mutsumi's inability to communicate, Mortis overcompensates, speaking far too brazenly and antagonizing everyone. Truly a masterclass on how not to handle contradiction! Good job on coming out as plural after only one day fronting, though.

100% agree. A lot of animes use tons of stereotypes when portraying DID and you rarely see one who doesnt have a psychopathic killer alter.

I wasn't even going to watch this, thinking " oh great more cute girl band/idol group type stuff". This Episode & previous made me realize how wrong I AM/WAS. I'm really invested in this as of today.

I'm a little surprised they confronted the split personality so soon, I suppose with how different Mortis was acting it was inevitable that it would be brought up, still I was expecting them to drag it out for an episode or two at least, I feel that's what most other series would have done.

It's quite frustrating to watch. It's like a bunch of people who have never communicated with other people in their life, don't try to negotiate and explain their feelings.
Sakiko needs to stop frowning and start communicating.
At least they had a talk. Not sure how disband is the solution for any of their issues though.

A lot to unpack for this episode!

I really liked the bit where Nyamu has a call with her mom and family; although previous episodes may frame her as selfish and maybe even unlikable, I felt like this scene shows that it’s all coming from a genuinely good place—that being her love for her family and her desire to make them proud by making it big.

But what really made the episode I think was the whole bit between Mortis and Sakiko. It really hammers down that Sakiko’s actions and devotion to the band have very real (and heavy) consequences.

And the ending was just perfect. The conflict between the band members has only escalated, and I really wanna see where it goes from here.

This is definitely the most interesting BanG Dream series by far.
So much drama and other things are always happening with this band.

Copium/10, but what are the chances Mortis is Mutsumi's Mom, covering for her while she's sulking in her room?
She's supposed to be an incredible actress, which could explain the performances.
It also doesn't make sense for Mortis to not know how to play guitar if she split from Mutsumi after Crychic.

I don't really believe in this theory, but I want it to be true so much, for Mutsumi's sake.

@yro-san While it would be nice, unfortunately we've seen that Mutsumi's mother doesn't seem to care for her very much and we've also seen Mutsumi herself disassociating at several points, including the moment where Mortis took control completely

Another drama loaded episode.

I have watched many drama shows , but this show have something which makes me feel little over stressed.

It's very different from other BanG Dream shows for sure!

Yeah, we definitely need a horror tag here....
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
