This episode was portended to reveal what's going on with Nem, but it leaves more questions than answers. So, based on the shrine, looks like she's either dead or comatose, which would explain why she's always in the dream world if she has nowhere else to live. But the fact that she continues to exist in various marketing is confusing, as she'd have to be alive and awake to do those things, especially the sneaker ad in the first episode that shows her running. What does it all mean?!

The prison symbol looks similar to the one in Nox's book with the four circles of the universe or whatever. I wonder what significance that will have. It's clearly not a byproduct of the dreamer's subconscious, feels more deliberate like the moonscoop, like a detail that's being put there rather than being dreamed up.

Yeah. Dude got a little too excited.

The blue and pink is a good look on her for sure.

Whatever his reasons, he was right about the dreamer having family trauma at least, unlike his conclusion last week. Fujimi's intuition about Baku led him to discover CODE, so when it works, it works.

Feels like Baku broke character there, acting in an emotional way unlike the suave charismatic Seven.

That's a perfectly valid complaint and I agree. Baku slinging everybody through the death traps was reckless and only worked due to his ability to control the dream. I would've expected an agent to solve this problem in a more technical way. At least, it's a better use of a Capsem than when he used it to handle one guy with a knife, but the overall execution does contrast with the whole agent theme if he can just superpower his way through any problem.

I liked Mesnick's suggestion from the previous thread, about having the Capsem dispensers appear in dreams instead. It's common in the agent genre to have collectible intel that may prove useful to the mission, so maybe put them in the same place as the dream doors as a reward for good investigation. Alternatively, just have Zero provide new ones as required like he did with the Zeztz Gear. The classic "here are your gadgets" scene never gets old.

EDIT: Ninja-ed by Mesnick.

I have a theory that the agency is using recordings of Nemu made before the incident. Or even resorting to AI (especially relevant in the context of the controversy surrounding the show's promotion). Her high popularity stems from the fact that, thanks to her abilities, she appears in people's dreams, as Nasuka mentioned earlier.
