It was a good idea for her nightmare to be something that wasn't so cliche, but I don't really think they gave it the best outcome either. Her having a fear of flights surely should be something she could have talked with her fiancé and family about, and also something they should know based on her past incident. It would have worked way better if her fear was leaving Japan after the marriage, maybe she doesn't want to leave her country and old friends behind. If the husband is willing to change plans last minute over a nightmare, then he's surely the type of man who you could talk to about your fear of heights with no issue beforehand.
So the case was pretty dumb, and not a fan of the weird CGI action, but the jokes were funny and the plane surfing was cool. The humor being guided by normal people getting stuck in weird situations works way better than Takahashi's old shtick of annoying people screaming loudly.

I think the fact that it wasn't some big love triangle is more true to the nature of dreams and the subconscious. It's like how in Fujimi's dream, he's still an active detective on the scene of these bombings. He wants to help people, but deep down inside he knows the government bureaucracy interferes with his work. The conscious desire to be married and the subconscious fear of heights were mixing together, obscuring the truth in her dreams.

I really enjoyed the action scene, I love how Wing acts like a fighter jet while flying and the OST when he's on top of the plane was great. It was nice of the writers to not go for the cliche of her loving her childhood friend, although her actual problem didn't seem so severe to justify a nightmare, it literally only took one talk with her husband for it to be resolved, plus, her family should know that she would have a fear of heights considering she almost died because of a fall. The PSB are amazing and I hope that when more characters are added to the cast that they don't end up getting sidelined.

Tetsuya and Nasuka need some range and they need it now. Both of them just being "oh, he has a giant secret base in his closet, seems legit" and just keeping on with their respective wide-eyed excitement and narrow-eyed cynicism felt so weird.

The resolution to the "mystery" was annoying, the red herring of the childhood friend made little sense, if she was worried about falling why dream her childhood friend kidnapping her? "dream logic" doesn't justify bad writing.

I didn't say it had to be an actual love triangle to be interesting. Just a concern or misunderstanding from any of the people involved regarding the marriage would've been interesting. Actually, I'm starting to see how the dream and secret agent aspects might limit what the victims of the week can do as well as their involvement in the weekly stories.

I really hate to suggest it, but maybe a 3-parter would have been better if they wanted to do it this way? Dedicate an episode to Ippei, establish the bride as the dreamer this week, then slowly slide the investigation away from the marriage and towards the fall. I agree that you can't just go "it's a dream I ain't gotta explain shit" when you're spending most of the show inside people's dreams. It's also why the husband gets 0 development; we only see him once in the real world.

Maybe the twist could have handled better, but I really like that the Nightmares aren't all as straight forward as Fujimi's. It's not always going to be a subconcious desire that drives and it can be a fear they have manifesting in a bizarre way that works on dream logic. You could do a lot with a setup like that.

Technolom as civilization would suggest we're talking human development and technology. Machinery = Robotics, Projection = Photography.
Harnessing wind and manipulating it would be sort of like turbines or fans or, as in the episode, planes. It takes a more direct approach but it would link it to aerodynamics which have been studied throughout history.

The dream logic isn't so far off, she doesn't want to fly, if she marries she has to fly, her friend saved her from her first fall, if he kidnaps her she doesn't have to fly. I could also see two other explanations for this, either:
>Nox purposely altered parts of the dream to throw baku off resolving the case
>The friend had a subconscious dream of kidnapping her and stopping the wedding and that converged with her dream on the dream world

prediction of the plot. Nox and Nem are both members of an extradimensional alien race. They're not "real" people, only existing on the dream plane. Nem is somehow the catalyst for all shared dreams. They're not on earth at all. They're trapped in a terrarium of some kind, like Dark City, which is serving as a laboratory with all the humans inside of it as their test subjects. They're searching for someone like Baku who has the potential to believe his dreams into reality, as seen when he pulls his driver out of his dream. If they harness this ability, they'll find a way to break into the true plane of human existence. Zero is also a member of this alien race. This is a reach, but a clue could be in the name of the show, Z's, representing sleep sandwiched between the alien E.T.

That says she has a physical presence, which could be interpreted in several different ways. She's physically present in advertisements. She could be entirely artificial, like that AI actress they just created. Her physical presence could also very well just be some kind of computer controlling the simulation. As for Nem's parents. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that they brainwashed two humans into believing they were her parents again, like in Dark City.

Good ep and glad they're finding ways to keep the cop hilarious. The flight stunts have been a lot of fun to watch but I worry they're running themselves into a Gatakiraba problem with all the big budget stunts so early into the show. I really liked that minor key reprise of Zetz's heroic theme for building tension when the climax started too.

Writing-wise I dig that they showed that Nightmares don't necessarily exploit desire but rather deep insecurities. With Baku and Fujimi it was easy to conclude they operated on breaking metaphorical dreams but with this case it shows they're only routes and thus the cases won't be as clean cut as initially presented. The butterflies collecting beaten monsters makes me think that Nox is using them as a means and isn't actually out stir shit up for the sake of it. Also liked that they gave Baku brief moments of relief that he pulled it off without people getting hurt this time around. Really helps sell his good boy persona.

On that note anyone else been picking up increasingly more Yumekui Merry vibes here? The imouto secretly being another Evol gaslighting Baku hints aside, Nemu seems to be shaping up into an alien existence that breached the threshold and isn't where she's meant to be. I'm expecting that by Q2 it'll get revealed that Baku was patient 0 of a dream incursion incident involving Nemu that led to him being so cursed and yet lucid in his dreams.

Solid episode again, the cops continue to be extremely entertaining, liked the twist about the bride's fear being about her honeymoon rather than marrying, and I'm still surprised that CGI looks mostly good, specially with this episode director that doesn't have that much experience with toku, every other director left for Q1 are usually great so this quarter is pretty much guaranteed to look visually great, hopefully they keep getting good directors past that. I also really the gimmick that they're using the dreams as proxy so that every two-parter feels like a different kind of action movie.
My only fear is that I feel like it's too soon for the cops to find the Zeztz room, I'll miss them rolling on their van.
Also wasn't Eprism supposed to be Divinity rather Mind? What does Mind has to do with healing powers?

Last week's nichiasa had the Precures peeking through a woman's window, this week's had two cops break into Kamen Rider's apartment, next week I'm expecting Hoeru and gang to squat in some guys place unnoticed for a bit at this rate.
>>23562595
I still like the cops and the visuals but this was probably the first episode of the series I didn't like. The twist being that the woman was afraid of heights is just unsatisfying, its not terrible on principle I think there's a way to make it entertaining, even still working with the childhood friend red-herring. But as it's done, I appreciate it for not being the cliche but I can't find it satisfying at all, the CGI action was also a miss even if the concept of it was cool. I'm not sure if I enjoy the cops just being chill with Baku's massive spy room thing but at the same time whatever reason if they went into it would be hackneyed anyway so just skipping it is fine.

Nem is the missing chunk of the moon, who's larping as a real girl. Nox is the literal white of the moon, and he's using nightmares to try to corral Nem back up into the sky.
Baku is the black of the moon, and him and Nox being gone is why the moon is red.

Yeah, the actual suit is padded. That one is a stunt suit. Couldn't find a better image quickly, but even in this low quality one it's obvious.

The full form changes in other colors also are just stickers with no padding. Only the base forms' main suit has the padding.

So CODE actually exists and has some kind of portal into a sub-dream dimension in Baku's closet given the cops were able to get in and are setting up shop but the jury's still out on whether Zero is real or not? It's a little confusing given we've seen both awake Baku and dream Baku in that space.

That's what seem to be right now, but I think it's more likely Zero (who isn't really zero, just took that identity from Baku's dreams) created that space in the first place, taking it from Baku's dream and connecting it to reality.

Reminder that there is absolutely no reason to figure out who the dreamer is or their motive/desire, when all Baku has to do is destroy the Nightmare by waiting for them to appear and engage in combat,
moreso ever that he has 3 tries before it can be considered a failure. Not to mention when he is an agent, he can just walkover his room and setup some trap for himself, the one who is still sleeping (as showed that real human can access and interact with the dream hideout and vice versa, so his dreaming self can interact with reality if he walk out of his hideout), so he could wake up immediately when the situation is life threatening for himself in his dream.

If Baku ignored the dreamer in this Bride case alone it could have been a failure since the crash nearly happened in the dream letting the Nightmare win even with Baku being able to figure out what the Nightmare's plan was.
If you don't know who the dreamer is then you can't monitor them and might come to a wrong conclusion. If Ippei was actually the dreamer and his fear was losing his childhood friend wouldn't it change the mission from "protect the bride" to "stop the wedding" or at least find a way for him to get closure?
If you don't know what their desire is you don't know what the Nightmare will aim for. Suppose the dreamer is someone who fears being framed for a crime or some similar action that doesn't actually require the Nightmare to be in their direct vicinity.
In general if your plan is to wait for the Nightmare there is no loss by using that waiting time to find info on the dreamer. Going in blind when your opponent has a win-con that doesn't necessarily require they beat you in a fight is pretty dumb.

The bad luck thing seems very half-assed.
Baku saves 2 people from the Nightmare, not counting saving the world/city once, yet there is no penalty for those.
Anonymous No.23567539 [Report] >>23567622

The final thing to do to prevent them is always terminating the Nightmare (Baku's win condition), whether Baku figures out their objective or not, which is just the means on how to find them or prevent more collateral damage.
The Nightmare should make contact with the dreamer at least once (actually, everytime if we counting all the cases up to now) before trying to complete their objectives, or appears somewhere very close to them, which is where Baku always happened to appear on everytime he first dreams of a case. Otherwise there is absolutely no clue on how to identify the dreamer.
Also, let's be honest, the bride's plot was for simplicity purpose, there are many people happened to be on the scene, yet we and Baku somehow narrow it down to the bride and her childhood friend because....? Strong impression, that it, lucky guess?
Anonymous No.23567622 [Report]

Dreams can be pretty large. Baku has been needing to ride the motorcycle in a lot of cases, they aren't closed rooms. If Baku didn't know that the actual fear was her fear of heights and that it was specifically related to the plane ride planned for her honeymoon he wouldn't have known to rush to the plane and by the time he got there it was already attacked, if he was any slower due to not knowing exactly where he had to go it would have crashed.
The Bomber only made direct contact with Fujimi after fulfilling the bad dream, so even if you ID the dreamer that may not be enough to run into the Nightmare.

The dream is specifically about someone's wedding and a childhood friend of the bride who she recognizes showed up. He knows that the Nightmare is related to someone who would be close enough to the wedding that it is related to their deepest fear, which you can reasonably narrow down to the bride, the groom, or the childhood friend. Initially he even theorizes that Ippei was an enemy of the groom's political faction and it being a big event of the dream decided to investigate, only thinking he was the dreamer after confirming IRL that the upcoming wedding was making him anxious. But the thing is that he hasn't been discounting the possibility that his impressions are wrong which is why he changed his impression with regards to new info.
As far as the episodes go the idea of investigating isn't causing problems and it's already shown that it is useful in resolving the case. It's just a case of whether you'd rather be proactive to find the Nightmare and its goals or just sit around hoping it shows up and only focus on fighting it, what exactly do you gain by not investigating?
