Like the first episode of Ghostblade, this episode makes Episode 14 better. Although the protagonists of both arcs are different, it is both the same story. In the case of this episode, we have a confrontation between the two heroes – I will say so for Loli, even though her trust value has double digits, she is still not afraid to throw her hands with the veteran top 5 heroes.
Much of this episode is something I hate on a personal level: awkward humor. Of course, this makes sense in the context of the story – Loli and Nuonuo have no reason to believe what Ghostblade is, but obsessed stalkers and Ghostblade are so awkward in society that he doesn’t even think sending a single text message to clear everything. So instead, we put Loli’s father trying to play with his daughter and hang up an extended sequence of ghosts. Second-hand awkwardness can easily drown out all the humor I can find in the plot – although I certainly have some of the heights of humor (no judgment).
On the positive side, what we get from all this is some interesting connections where almost all the people involved have bad father/child relationships. For Loli, her father is a workaholic and she didn’t even notice that his daughter built a superkit from the basement after she had already run around. Nuonuo, for a father’s emotional ghost (Ghostblade), thought it would be enough to see from a distance. Johnny, well, he lived a happy family life until his parents were murdered. Interestingly, they have a connection to it – even if their emotions are teased by DJ Shindig, who is now totally terrified.
The subsequent battle is interesting, to be honest, it’s not one thing. DJ Shindig once had the title of X – he said his fear power was stronger than his trust. The way Ghostblade completely dismantled him means that the current top 5 heroes are much stronger than the early top heroes (even more modern ones before Bowa), which in turn regards Hero X as the most powerful hero of all time. It also means that even the #10 slot Lin Ling may already be as powerful as the early XS, which is an interesting thing.
But, despite DJ Shindig being defeated and Nuonuo learns the truth about her father, there is no time for a happy ending. With Johnny’s emotional compromise and disappearance – Queen and Cyan heading for “vacation” (UFO crashes in the middle of the desert?) – We are quickly approaching the last scene in Queens. But, what causes Johnny to go crazy? I’m sure we’ll start going into next week when we start Johnny’s three-episode arc.
grade:
Random thought:
•I like the reclosed typification of Ghostblade’s behavior in the plot where we read his diary through Nuonuo.
• Since this episode took place a year before Lin Lin’s story (currently unknown at the moment, Loli is currently), the only way I saw her ranked 6th at that time was that if she was the one who solved the entire upcoming “Big Johnny Goes berserk” battle, we were soon approaching.
• So why, how did /Zach (the head of FOMO) send Johnny (the hero who works for his competitors in DOS) to this task? Perhaps, with DJ Shindig disappearing, he doesn’t have the heroes he’s going to send, which means he’s bringing both Loli and Ahu into the top 10 in a year.
• Surprisingly, no one, fear cults have the same level of visits as committees if the two are not actually the same committee.
