This episode is actually hard to watch. The psychological stuff is getting way more intense than the physical fights. Fushi is really going through it. Emotional Rollercoaster is back.

This is deep showing a child's life struggles. I think the nokkers' evolved state represents our dark days when we feel like giving up, which sometimes lead to self-destruction. And as time went by, their attack becomes psychological, unlike before when they were more physical.

Episode Context

Following Episode 8's revelations about the Nokkers infiltrating human society, Episode 9 narrows the lens to explore the deeply personal fallout of that infiltration through Mimori's traumatic history and her fractured relationship with Hirotoshi. Sitting near the midpoint of a 22-episode season, this installment prioritizes character psychology over plot momentum, grounding the larger conflict in human stakes. It directly sets the stage for Episode 10, 'Become as People,' where the consequences of the Nokker presence continue to blur the boundaries between ally and enemy for Fushi and his companions.
