oh COME ON not fair

The moment his friends reappeared I was like welp ok NOW they're dead >=( 

SCHOOL SHENANIGANS STAAAAAAAAAAART

Anya smirk and ANYA PUUUUUNCH

I have a personal theory I'm ruminating on (and it's killing me not to search) but some things I want to point out that less weeby folks might not pick up on---

• The pen name (and name given to Shinpei) our shotgun wielding friend uses is a masculine name. He is not only shocked because it is the name of the author he's been reading (but that's mostly why he's shocked lol)
• they use more masculine forms of speech. (using "boku" as their way of referring to themself, as well as other mannerisms in their speech pattern)
• when talking to "nee-san" they seem to be speaking to themself
• they also appear to talk to Ryuunosuke directly as a separate person after being shot. Glasses are off at this point.
• When apologizing to Shinpei for not believing the message sooner, they are now using "watashi" to refer to themself and glasses are on so maybe it's not the glasses hmm

THEREFORE I think there's some dual personality shit going on. It already seems like Shinpei is possessed by Ushio, so maybe it's a ghost thing (or shadow fuckery?) but maybe it's just a split thing. Like, it's not uncommon to have a pen name that is intended to be a different or a neutral gender, but the way she speaks is what has my ears pricked up. Did she have a younger brother affected by Shadows? Has she created this personality as a response to some sort of trauma? Am I so far off base it isn't even funny? Do the glasses affect who's in charge or are they just glasses? How did she fuckin' dodge that shotgun blast, is it powaaaaaas? GUESS WE'LL FUCKIN' SEE

It's wild to get so big of an info dump on the Shadows without actually truly learning too many details. 

Shadow!Ushio reforming and just fuckin' SLUGGING big shadow boi is great, I had to rewatch that like 5 times just because it was so enjoyable

All the earnest kerfuffle from the other spies

drunk Yor

the quiz

top notch action sequence.... in a giant ball pit

god the action is so good

honestly I enjoyed this shield hero ep more than the others, I'd rather go into more lore about stuff like the turtle and the other heroes than have GRAND BIG BATTLEEEEE right away but it was still just.... ok at best lol
