| This show's action scenes are wild. I know Natsuko is kinda carrying it with her talent but Luke deserves a lot of credit here too. Feels like Natsuko's confidence grew with this and Luke showing more aggressiveness in his fighting style. Good shit. |
| I think this episode was a nice reality check for Natsuko who clearly started drinking her own kool-aid and getting swept up in all the praise she got. One of the biggest reasons she’s in this purgatory world is likely because of her inability to ask other people for help and rely on them rather than doing everything herself. Not a ton of Luke and Natsuko ship moments today sadly, but you can tell he’s fallen for her and gets jealous when she’s talking to Justice for example lol. We saw in the flashback that Natsuko was extremely nasty to work with, I mean missing deadlines by days and having your assistants draw their first love before sacking them is nuts! It’s no wonder people didn’t wanna work with her. Even tho she’s become more socially adjusted, she’s still trying to fight all the voids herself. She claims it’s to protect people, but I think deep down Natsuko has some real insecurity issues and just likes the praise and attention she gets from being the hero. I wonder if they’ll ever show her growing up as a kid, it’ll probably have something to do with that. Hell of a cliffhanger to leave off on, I hope no one ends up dying because of Natsuko’s hubris :/ I reckon justice shows up though and that’ll be how Luke finds out she can’t fly anymore. She ironically also has kinda taken on everything by herself, not telling her friends she’s injured and taking on all that resentment.. poor thing. lol at umio getting jealous over Luke and Natsuko getting closer π |

| Overworking even in the other world, huh? Let's see how it goes |
| ©2026 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| Natsuko is really coming into her own now and it's nice seeing Luke being more aggressive with his fighting. |
| Although, Natsuko solves everything all by herself and everything's going nicely so far. But, she's getting way too overconfident in her abilities, and just like the director said, it's Useless. This is not gonna change. And, she learned very quickly that not every time her powers gonna work. And, she's now in the middle of the danger. Learning to rely on others is what she's gonna learn in this story. You can't do everything by yourself. Like she said, it will work out faster this way, but that's not how it goes. Her stubbornness with the storyboards of the movie is the reason why the production is being dragged on for so long. She needs to learn to entrust her work to others which she hasn't until now. Can't wait to see where things go from here. Justice is a nice guy. He didn't want to hurt Luke's feelings, so he's fine with him just hating him for the rest of his life. Kids definitely can be a pain in the ass, but that's what makes them kids. LOL. Natsuko is really good with kids tho. Also, Luke getting those feelings for Natsuko. |

| @Pre_Yum This is why Ni-Gen Armies are the future of this industry contrary to snobby opinions. |
| Nuclear Baseball "Not with hairy purple trolls from another world." Snap? or not? Goddamn, look at Destiny's development. Natsuko, darling, "Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you". The enemy makes plans, adjustments, and counter plans also. They can show courage, dedication and resolve also. Above all know you own forces, your team, its capabilities, and how it come maximize effectiveness, minimize risk, and adapt to changing battle conditions, and keep a reserve in your pocket. You going to be damn lucky this time that the reserve you did not think about is standing on the city wall watching you. And learn your goddamn lessons using your available personal resources. |

| I can understand Natsuko. I don't think it's really about overconfidence, but the fact you don't trust 100% on others to do the job, so you prefer to do it yourself. Hope I'm wrong but I can see Justice doing a sacrifice on next episode, at this point nothing is like the movie. |

| At last, the loop of the episode ending the same way is broken and things actually seem to have started moving a bit. Was that "shower in praise" a reference of AOT (Eren). Natsuko also did the death note thing towards the end of the episode |
| This anime is the mix of the worst tropes, Iseaki(low bar genre), annoying cocky FMC, self insert of animator/mangaka. The Iseakai world and story is just some random mess. |
| Am I the only one that thinks Natsuko is a boring mc? |

| It looks like Natsuko is going to get a big dose of humble pie and will hopefully realize that she isn't the only person that can get things done and that it's good to rely on others from time to time. On that note I think that Justice will come in to rescue her as he said that hubris may lead to her downfall plus he was watching the fight. |
| Damn the cliffhanger.. I like this anime balancing the comedy and tragedy well. I'm somewhat expecting Justice to join the battle next week. It would be cool if Natsuko could draw to fix their wing |
Alfredo-Sauce said: Justice will come in to rescue her as he said that hubris may lead to her downfall yagakimilover said: I'm somewhat expecting Justice to join the battle next week. That's pretty much a slam dunk. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| Man Justice's hubris warning came to fruition immediately |
| It feels like Justice is as good as dead next episode, Natsuko has to learn a life lesson about trusting others but I don't want to see any sacrifices : ( destiny is having the time of her life, she found her own way in life and managed to make true her dream, it was super cute all those kids before and after they got to the orphanage. |
| Luke's growing crush on Natsuko is adorable. I never thought I'd ship a character with a character in a show (in this anime's world), yet here we are. It's about time Natsuko's powers finally failed to save the day, but the execution is really lame...like, a samurai, really? That's the best thing she could think to draw to fight against these voids? So dull and uninspiring. A huge cliffhanger, but I hope it won't be something as cliche as Justice sacrificing himself. Or maybe just like Natsuko did with Memmeln, she'll use her powers to help Justice by fixing his wings. |
"As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| She suffered the consequences of her arrogance, now I want to see how she's going to defeat these voids |
| That TTGL reference was great! Destiny went in with her training, that’s rusted up. Natsuko has been putting in work but seems like she’s about to get humbled. Got her for another episode with that cliffhanger. |
| I am guessing that the swordsman that she drew was a reference particular character from an anime, but I do not recognize who. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| Destiny became swole. Nice! Natsuko has been on a major winning streak, and that has led to quite the confidence boost as Unio and Justice have noted. Justice is a really great guy to hit rock bottom rather than give his friend any more heartache with the truth. It's easy to see why Natsuko likes him! This is a darker story that is now running off script. I hope they're able to keep the momentum continuing. |
| Natsuko got too overconfident, she thought she could just draw and win like always. I have a feeling Justice will come in and save her. |

| No cap..I thought Justice was a pro-ho and was inviting Natsuko to be a client. Cockiness gets you beat. Wish she wasn't the MC, I'd have hope that the void wins. |

Wizard of OZ type endings are my less favorite things ever Well I got news for ya |
| it was a great ep i was really not expecting to see a side character who prefers to be hated... the end, she was selfish and thought that she didn't need anyone to help her, voila... |

| It's nice that we got a Sailor Moon and Gurren Lagann reference. It was only a matter of time before we get an episode where Natsuko is overconfident in her abilities and her meting Justice was a sign of things to come. Even the the bird in the tree warned her that even with all her talent, its not enough to fully defeat the voids as the enemy is getting smarter than before now that the story has completely changed . We see this clearly when Natsuko made a half baked animation of a samurai that can only do slicing and dicing which is what the enemy wanted and the animation didn't last long. In the past she tried to do things on her own and it costed her life in the real world and now her overconfidence bit her in the ass again. You have to learn to rely on others in the face of adversity and now Natsuko is going to learn the hard way in the next episode after the cliffhanger. |
