A very dark episode, full of unexpected revelations. It turns out Lady was Agent Two. Now it's clear how they worked together with NOX. Also, although I correctly predicted that CODE was hunting Nem, the story of her birth turned out to be much darker. Unsurprisingly, Lady eventually went crazy from the experience. And the years without sleep only made things worse. It also shows that Nem is not the source of the Nightmares. Or rather, not the source of all Nightmares. I wonder if we'll see her father, Nightmare, or the one behind everything that happened?
Also, Catastrome turned out to be Seven-CODE in approach, but not in loyalty. For he has no intention of fulfilling their missions, which, combined with his immense power, makes the spies perceive him as an enemy. Baku also literally abandons people in distress, which justifies what happens next. Although the ending suggests that this could have been a test or the work of the subconscious.
I should also note how realistic and sterile the CODE base looks. And the number of extras killed brings to mind the first phase of Heisei. Although the whole effect is ruined by the realization that Lady, apparently, lived somewhere nearby, since Nem was able to run in so quickly. I know this is dream logic, but this is something I noticed right away and couldn't share.
Another noteworthy thing is how much Three's hand with the gun was shaking. I wonder if this meant something or if the actor is simply not used to such scenes. The fight scenes in this episode are simply excellent, especially in the elevator and with the Demon King. Although seeing him in this episode slightly diminished the impact of defeating him in the previous one.
We also saw Zero's human form. Possibly. And he's an asshole. Also possible.
Speaking of the ending, it's a dirty trick, but with the dream theme, it was bound to be used sooner or later. Next week, we'll find out how much of what was shown was true and how much was just a warning. Perhaps NOX was showing Baku the darkness of the CODE in this way, since explaining it with words isn't his style.
Overall, I'm confused, but intrigued.
