This episode was beautiful. Loved the dialogue between Jack and his imaginary companions, and also Ashi's confused look as she sees Jack talking to himself.

Also the moment where Ashi sees Jack with the ladybug was great as well. She was totally ready to see that ladybug get squished. The fact that Jack didn't was a real mindfuck to her.

My favorite moment was probably Jack noting she was a disturbed individual. A few minutes before talking to his brain ghosts.

One of the best parts of the many wonderful parts of this episode was the fact that even Jack's hallucinations are getting annoyed by him.

"You're going to save her, aren't you. :catstare:" from his past self was pretty good.

I'm also finding it hilarious that his figments of his imagination noticed Ashi was missing before he did.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
I don't think I've ever seen an antagonist develop stockholm syndrome for a protagonist before.

It probably would have been better if the ladybug flashback was part of the training montage during the first episode instead though, would have made a good callback.

Yeah, given the amount of up-front sequential plotting going on in this season, this is a pretty glaring mistake.

At first, when she was creeping up on him, I thought that was what we were going to flash back to. The ladybug scene and Ashi suddenly seeing the challenge to her worldview works and is generally the right idea, but yeah execution was a little spotty and missed an opportunity to connect directly to an earlier episode. I also thought having the Mother's voice echo that "no place in Aku's order!" line while Ashi looked at Jack was a bit excessive considering we heard her say it like 20 seconds ago.

As funny as it was, the dialogue was a little weird in this one at times. I never thought Jack would care about back fur.

Still, minor complaint more than anything in comparison to how good the show is generally.

I'll admit, I'm a bit split on whether Ashi literally breaking free of her chains as they cleared the threshold was a nice little detail, or kind of a heavy-handed way to signal that she's finally going to start growing up.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
I do love that Aku is going insane as well. He's also talking to himself and feeling existential dread.

A part of me thinks this series is going to end of a pretty dark note now.

Something implied when Jack's hallucinations told him " you know how to get out", is that he's been swallowed by the same creature before. Dude's probably done this plenty of times and is like "alright just gotta do it now with some extra weight no probs"

You remember the armor he started the season in, right? If he didn't have one before, Jack has definitely developed a sense of fashion.

I meant this particular species of creature, so he'll be like taking a right turn at the third rectum because he's done it before. I did forget about the dragon though (which episode was it gonna go watch it)

I decided to look this up to see if that was really the title.

So, one, yes it is.

And, two, the wiki I found for it, well:

quote:

The Dragon having a baby inside it would mean the Dragon is female with a very deep voice, or it is a male and reproduced its baby asexually. In the case of the latter, this is among the few instances where male-pregnancy is portrayed in a children's cartoon.

Also, this is old, but I find it rather amusing:



It's titled: Jack's new design.
