They are really stretching out Fushi and March’s eventual reunion. And I understand why. The inherent tension in the very idea of it is enough to keep me hooked for the next few episodes. I wonder if there’s a reason we haven’t heard March talk yet. We know that she did from the folks that took her in, but in scenes where she was actually onscreen, she never responded to anyone.
It’s probably meaningless but I’m curious if she sounds all weird and death metal-like. She is back from the dead after all. It’s wishful thinking, there is a 0% chance that this will be the case.










As I mentioned in the last post, the final moments of last week’s episode eclipsed everything that had happened up to that point. So it actually took me a second to get back in the spirit of the great battle that was about to take place.
It’s odd. I’ve rarely seen a fight scene where the protagonist was so thoroughly dominating and yet seemed to be losing the entire time. We all knew this was going to be difficult on Fushi. He clearly took on way too much. But seeing him struggle like this was unexpectedly unsettling.
It’s not as if we’ve never seen Fushi lose before. In fact, I still say he almost exclusively loses. But with the nature of his character, we’ve never really been confronted with Fushi’s physical limits. There was reason to believe that he didn’t have any. At least not in the sense that any of us could relate to. But this was definitely recognizable. Stress, exhaustion, that weird dizzy feeling you get when your pressure goes down. We’ve all felt it. I just never expected to see it in Fushi’s eyes.








We didn’t get to see much of March in this episode. We only got glimpses of her back for a brief moment at the very beginning. But whenever her presence was felt, I perked up. I’m desperate to see where this particular plot thread goes.
Fushi did feel her wake up. In fact, Fushi has been feeling everyone for a while now and just the thought of it is wearing me out. I’m not sure exactly what he can feel. As far as I can tell it’s just vague sensations of joy or pain or consciousness. He didn’t recognize March in any way, only that someone new was there.
But that also makes me think if March has her body back, does that mean Fushi has lost her as a vessel? Can he still turn into her and does he remember her at all? What if he forgets all about them when they revive. Bon will never have to tell him anything!













We all knew there was something not quite right with Kahaku, right? They’ve been making him subtly but increasingly creepy for weeks now. I’m not sure if it’s the nokker in his arm slowly taking over. Maybe his affection for Fushi is blinding him and making him more vulnerable. I can’t help but think that leaving him free is not a good idea.
I almost glossed over it. I predicted Messar would not survive the battle as soon as he was introduced. This is based on the ED of the show and pure speculation. I actually paid closer attention to it this week. It’s not conclusive. All of the characters we see in the ED are vessels but not all the vessels are there. Kai and Hylo were also there from the beginning and I had just missed them which matches up to what happened at the battle. But Eko is there as well. I don’t know how Fushi would react if he lost Eko.
And at the very end. We just see the edge of a character being led by Eko. That’s Bon, isn’t it. I,m gonna be sad about that. Not surprised mind, you. But it was Bon if full Tasty Peach princely regalia and I want to see that version of the character again, so it works out.
It was always too much to expect to have a war without casualties. And so far, it does seem as if the city’s standing and victory is possible. Things actually looked more promising to me at the end of the episode than a the beginning. Not sure if enraged bloodthirsty Fushi is in any way better than exhausted battle-weary Fushi but it feels more dynamic. I feel bad for the remaining nokkers.
But what I wanted to see, and what I hope to see next week, is March catch-up to Fu.

I have to say, I was a little surprised that all three of those characters were killed off off-screen; that’s not something I expected. It makes perfect sense, though.
Also I’m increasingly wondering whether Eko’s pot people actually originated from an orb too, but didn’t turn into individuals and thus dissipated… And pots serve as some sort of core for some reason (how many pots are there). That’s almost certainly false, but the pot people are probably the strangest concept yet in this show…
Maybe everything originated from me orbs and some are further from the source?
Regarding March’s voice, I think they’re not letting us hear it, to try adding to the anticipation a bit. Oh, I think Bon is aware about March. He seems to be trying to find her.
As for the ED, my guess is that those are the guys that have died (or will die) but will eventually be resurrected. Bon had a chat about this with his two ghost sidekicks, if memory serves right. If you feel some lingering regret, or if you can’t find a sense of closure, then your spirit may be unable to pass to the other side.
Through Bon’s eyes, we’ve seen the ghosts following Fushi — Gugu, Parona, March, the emo bear… These were the only ghosts Bon saw surrounding him. All of them are in that ED, unlike the others who’d died to that point. So I assume the others have passed on. And we know that Bon chose his three new recruits, who are also in the ED, specifically because he thought they might have that quality too.
In other words, RIP Eko. (Three days later.) She is risen!
Part of me feels bad for Kahaku. He’s creepily obsessive about Fushi, it’s true. But any kid born into his crazy role would probably wind up the same. Plus, you get the sense he cares very, very deeply for Fushi’s well-being. Easily as much as any of his friends — if not more.
He’s just gone through so many failures recently, some big & some small. For a while now, he feels like he’s of no use to Fushi, at all. Which, if you think about it, is a kind of existential crisis for him. And nobody seems to care enough to notice — least of all Fushi! I mean, if Pocoa’s the only one who checks up on you…
And part of me wants him to go nuclear. He will do something wild, I’m sure. Don’t know yet if it’s the good kind, or the bad kind. But it will be 100% wild. My popcorn’s ready!!
(I meant Tonari, not Parona.)
You think he’ll resurrect the bear? That could be interesting actually
What, you wouldn’t?! Easily the best character design of 2023… I mean, he’s literally crying blood… Show me another bear who looks like he’s been to a Linkin Park concert…
I’m saying they couldn’t handle the awesomeness
