The show has made a point of showing us, more than once, that Nyelv has Shioya's other half. I wouldn't be surprised if, whenever our heroes initially confront Nyelv, he explains that he can re-fuse the halves, at which point Shioya could be safely un-pressed. And then, of course, Nyelv proceeds to use that as leverage over our heroes.

I admire your optimism. I've been wondering if the Hitopress was a fake, so I did lose a little hope after seeing that it was most likely real. But if it's really possible for Nyelve or Dente to repair it and subsequently unpress him, then of course I'd love to see that. Hanto deserves to have something good happen in his life. I guess I'll hold on to that hope for a while longer.

I generally agree with the statement, but yeah, I imagine we might partially disagree on which 3 are which. And that's cool, to each their own.

I'll keep hoping for that until the show ends!
