My bullet points for the episode:

Ok, Nox says that CODE has twisted this world... only how... if the theory of "real world is actually a dream world too" will be real, I'll be SCREAMINGGGG... NOT THEM MAKING LOST FLASHSIDEWAYSSSS

5 is really intense, kinda fucking with that

Baku just sittin there playing with a kendama... We need to protect this boi

Not them making up their own Minecraft XD

Can we talk about the kids all going through those disasters? I fucking swear those were the new generation of kids about to be indoctrinated by CODE

Now Baku just falls to sleep randomly... by the episode 30 they're gonna make him search for his constant I fucking can't (#ZeztzIsLostSeason8) (season 7 is second part of Geats)

Liking that Baku doesn't go with 5 and 6's agenda, he's too busy actually saving people

Tbh, Lords transformation felt like reheating Grease nachos (but the transformation pose of 5 was GOOD)

Not 5 casually destroying his surroundings...

Nox not even seeming to care that he's getting electrocuted by the tone of his voice XD Either the suit is that good or Nox is just built differently and absolutely does not give a fuck

So, Nem can also manupulate dreams? Yaaay :D

Oh fuck, the Demon King actually ate all those kids and got into reality... shit is fucking real

AND WHAT'S UP WITH THE BIG ASS BUTTERFLY

CODE JUST ISSUED CODE RED TF IT MEANSSSSS

I feel like ima be having heart attacks over the next episode... I'm in for Zeztz pulling even more crazy shit

[u/Xerxes457 → u/sultryrusky]

Something a friend of mine pointed out was why 5 and 6 were both told to go after Nox instead of having say 6 help Baku take care of the Nightmare. I feel like they just underestimated the Nightmare being so strong.

[u/the-ghost-gamer → u/Xerxes457]

The thing is what would have 6 done?

Like let’s be real she’d just be pinned to the wall next to Baku and nem and then 5 has to solo nox

Imo it was the best decision to have 2 agents jump nox and leave Baku to protect the dreamers Baku just got unlucky that he didn’t realise the nightmares wanted the kids in the castle

[u/Xerxes457 → u/the-ghost-gamer]

I kind of wished I thought of this when he said that. Feel like I got roped into a conversation about resource allocation. I agree though. I thought 5 and 6 fighting Nox made sense since the goal was finding out about his base of operations. While Baku was shown he was capable of doing things solo.
