Jina’s turn as a Gnosia was kind of tragic. She sacrificed herself and outed her and Otome as Gnosia so the crew could live. It’s a shame Yuri couldn’t find a way to save her in the end. Technically, this was a successful loop but it’s still a shame it had to end the way it did.

This one’s been pretty fun overall. It’s Mafia/Among Us with alien waifus, time loops, and a shiny Unown lookin critter lol. Keen to catch the second cour in Jan.

thisisdropd2025-12-27 18:18

>Jina’s turn as a Gnosia was kind of tragic.

The last time she was a Gnosia, Kukrushka massacred everyone on board. Poor woman couldn't catch a break.

mythriz2025-12-27 19:53

LeVi in some timeline: "There are 14 Gnosia on board"
Yuri: "what?"
LeVi: "... and Kukrushka"
Yuri: "*oh shit*"

Mana_Croissant2025-12-27 21:46

Aren’t there 15 people at max ? Yuri, Setsu, Sq, Racio, Jina, Stella, Shigemichi, Yuriko, Comet, Chipie, Kukrushka, Jonas, Remnan, Sha ming and Otome

So 14 gnosia and Kukrushka means Yuri is gnosia too

mythriz2025-12-27 22:12

Yup that was part of the joke, even being Gnosia ain't gonna save him lol

BosuW2025-12-27 23:04

FlameDragoon9332025-12-28 03:01

WHO IS THE GNOSIA

Chikumori2025-12-28 04:17

If human guard Kukrusha turned out scary, you have to wonder how Gnosia Kukrusha would be.

Other Gnosia: who we gonna cyberize tonight?

Gnosia Kukrushka: you guys do your thing. (Grabs metal pipe). This way is faster.

N-P-C-C2025-12-27 23:09

This time...Gina goes out on her own terms.

She said she would rather off herself than get eliminated - i see this as a bitter sweet end as she kept to her beliefs despite being gnosia - it doesn't change your desires, just compels you to eliminate humans with instinct.

Pecuthegreat2025-12-27 23:55

I personally always hoped there's a way to undo gnosia infection for those frozen.

Imaginary-End-082025-12-28 02:20

And she STILL tried to save Yuri.

paladinvc2025-12-27 18:33

Is the second cour in January confirmed?

thisisdropd2025-12-27 18:49

Yes. There'll be a one week break before returning on the 10th of January.

FarCritical2025-12-27 19:37

Don't know why but the dumbest idea for a next cour/season teaser popped in my head where LeVi asks "*When* is the Gnosia?" before the release date pops up

mythriz2025-12-27 19:51

I do expect a "Why is Gnosia?" when we get close to the series finale in any case

i_like_trees-2025-12-28 01:58

No one ever asks "How is Gnosia?" :(

NoHead17152025-12-28 13:25

That's what Yuri has been doing

BosuW2025-12-27 23:05

> She sacrificed herself and outed her and Otome as Gnosia so the crew could live.

Except Raqio 💀

Kill-bray2025-12-28 03:55

Otome: let's kill Yuri.
Jina: ...
Me: I guess Jina won't agree with that, so whom will she choose? Raqio?
\*painful Raqio noises\*
Me: Of course it's Raqio!

Emi_Ibarazakiii2025-12-28 05:48

> She sacrificed herself and outed her and Otome as Gnosia so the crew could live

*Raqio: "Thanks... Really appreciate your sacrifice..."*

[](#seasonalpout)

thisisdropd2025-12-27 18:05

Yuri's amassing themselves a harem. Comet, SQ, and now Jina. Is this the Silver Key's true objective?

We once had Sha-Ming who couldn't be arsed about being a Gnosia and outed himself but kept his comrades away from harm. We also had ~~SQ~~ Comet who's such a terrible liar she unintentionally put her comrades in danger. However, this is the first time where a Gnosia knowingly outed their comrades. The sneaky part was doing so without lying.

Jina had shown so much resistance to the infection she retained nearly all her humanity even after being infected. All her actions have went against the Gnosias. We thought her helping Yuri during the Kukrushka psycho scene was simply due to the latter being also a threat to Gnosias but if that was the only reason there's no reason for her to come to Yuri's aid. Now we know the reason.

What a tragic ending. We've had actual deaths before but this was the first time someone had sacrificed themselves for the good of the humans and it came from a Gnosia. We knew what's coming once Jina said 'there were no Gnosias on board'. Fitting that instead of the upbeat ED we usually have we get a sombre one instead.

salic4282025-12-27 18:27

> We also had SQ who's such a terrible liar she unintentionally put her comrades in danger.

But SQ was only Gnosia for 2 times. One was the ep1 tutorial loop, and the other was ep10 where she was killed by the Citizen Slime. I think you're talking about Comet?

thisisdropd2025-12-27 18:50

You're right, my bad.

Mana_Croissant2025-12-27 21:54

I mean Jina technically did lie. Claiming Chipie is gnosia IS a lie. A well intentioned, Gnosia outing lie but a lie nonetheless

JustASumoGuy2025-12-28 00:00

She knew she couldn't explicitly tell the truth about Otome, who she refused to reveal even to Yuri, so she did it in a roundabout way by exploiting the Gnosia's penchant for lying.

reeposterr2025-12-27 22:41

Technically, Stella is part of the harem too

f16poom2025-12-27 18:06

Hearing the full anime version of ULULO was quite chilling.

N-P-C-C2025-12-27 19:42

IKR? I wish they played the og version during yuri's first warp as the chaos of it contrast from the euphoria on his, and comet's faces.

This version would have hit harder - saying something that's the most criticism i have had on a video game adaption anime so far. This shit has far exceeded expectations IMHO.

Was legit moved at the end.

MHyde52025-12-27 20:20

Probably bc the Gnosia elimination is supposed to feel beautiful to the Gnosia, not chaos so that is why they play the calm soothing music while Otome is getting evaporated.

Imaginary-End-082025-12-28 02:32

This is the second time I've heard this and it's AMAZING!!! Absolutely loved when Ktome got deleted just because of this lol. Not to mention their sadistic euphoric smiles.

salic4282025-12-27 18:07

That ending reminds me of [*Steins; Gate 0*] >!episode 8 "Antinomic Dual". In addition to the special ED, in both episodes the heroine sacrificed themselves and disappeared right in front of the protagonist.!<

Gina is a *very* nice woman.

---

I want to talk about something interesting. Often times in the time loop genre, the looper would not reveal the fact that they are looping. However, in this show, revealing does not seem to have dire consequences (like, what can the Gnos do about it?). Moreover, Yuri is using this as leverage to gain info from other crew members. So far, they have admitted to Chipie (ep5), Racio (ep10), Sha-Ming (ep10), SQ (ep 11), and Jina (ep12) that they are looping, and hinted to Stella (ep7) and Comet (ep9) that they know more than what an amnesiac should. Yuriko also seems to know she will meet Yuri on another timeline (ep5). Is this culminating to a moment where Yuri announce they are looper to everyone on day 1?

Another thing is, to me this episode implies that, whenever Setsu was not in the room greeting Yuri, they know beforehand that some event will play out in this loop. The times this happened are: ep4 (no one greets them, Yuri wakes up alone and meet Yuriko in the elevator), ep6 (no one greets them, Yuri wakes up then follows Kukrushka to the holodeck and was gifted a wreath from Kukrushka), ep9 (Comet, a Gnosia, greets Yuri), ep11 (SQ, a Guard Duty, greets Yuri), ep12 (Jina, a Gnosia, greets Yuri).

salic4282025-12-27 18:24

This is one of the two times the results were not displayed even after the victory condition is fulfilled, isn't it? The other time was during the second loop of episode 3. Anyway, here is a table of everyone's roles in the 14 loops so far:

|Name|Crew|Gnosia|Engineer|Doc.|G.A.|G.D.|Total|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Yuri|10|1|1||1|1|14|
|Setsu|9|1|1|3|||14|
|SQ|6|2|2|||1|11|
|Racio|7|3||1||1|12|
|Jina|7|4|||||11|
|Shigemichi|3|3|1||1|1|9|
|Stella|7|1|1||1||10|
|Yuriko|5|1|1|1|1||9|
|Comet|3|3|||||6|
|Chipie|3|2|1||||6|
|Jonas|4|1||1|||6|
|Kukrushka||1|1|||1|3|
|Otome|3|2|||||5|
|Remnan|2||1|||1|4|
|Sha-Ming|1|3|||||4|

Jina is surprisingly the member with most Gnosia roles (ep2, ep3, ep8 and this episode).

As for the mortality rate:

|Name|Alive|In C.S.|Dead|Total|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Yuri|10|2|2|14|
|Setsu|8|3|3|14|
|SQ|6|3|2|11|
|Racio|2|5|5|12|
|Jina|4|3|4|11|
|Shigemichi|2|5|2|9|
|Stella|7|2|1|10|
|Yuriko|5|2|2|9|
|Comet|3|3||6|
|Chipie|3|2|1|6|
|Jonas|3|1|2|6|
|Kukrushka|2|1||3|
|Otome|1|2|2|5|
|Remnan|3||1|4|
|Sha-Ming|1|3||4|

(I counted the Kukrushka incident in ep8 as if the members have been put into Cold Sleep, because that's what the Results shows during the fake ED.)

Turns out Racio is comically easy to die. The only two times they were alive when the Results was displayed, was when they were Gnosia and elimnated Yuri (ep4, ep6).

fansi20222025-12-27 22:30

I suspect that the religion of immortality mentioned by Jina's mother is Gnosia's cult.

BosuW2025-12-27 23:56

Could be.

Even if it isn't, this has immense implications for Yuriko's role. She hasn't done much so far, curiously, but now I'm gonna be watching her extra closely because even if human there is a chance she may not actually want to stop the Gnosia.

duo99dusk2025-12-28 02:35

Raqio's stats 💀

Imaginary-End-082025-12-28 02:55

I love your list!

fansi20222025-12-27 22:28

>That ending reminds me of [*Steins; Gate 0*]

I'll never forget that kiss.(ಥ﹏ಥ)

honjustice2025-12-27 18:18

[removed]

Mana_Croissant2025-12-27 21:50

Yeah, this explains even more that why she was trying to help Yuri during the Kukrushka rampage despite being Gnosia, girl is just too good

Ocixo2025-12-27 22:43

Jina is so kind that it almost hurts. She’d rather take her own live than someone else’s. Even if she’s infected by the Gnosia, Jina is arguably the most “human” person aboard at this ship.

I probably want Jina to reach a happy future more than anyone. Don’t believe that we’ve seen her smile brightly yet?

honjustice2025-12-27 23:20

I feel like she's always suffering, just the epitome of sadge. She's always thinking of the others, but because she's deeply introverted and isn't as vocal, we didnt know what she was like until this episode.

BosuW2025-12-27 23:48

I dunno if I would go that far, since she has a completed Gnosia game under her belt. The only one who gives up almost immediately invariably is Sha-Ming.

The only thing that changed is this loop Yuri gave Gnosia Gina the courage to act on her more empathetic instincts before going full Gnosia.

Namaryu2025-12-27 18:23

So if you can basically get Gnosiad and the process is done by a Hoshibune group then does that mean they have forcefully created a means for "salvation" of entire world by enacing Gnosias onto the galaxy?

Megadragon8982025-12-27 18:24

Jina story was kind of tragic, i wonder what makes the other timeline so different ? Was it because Yuri told her everything and that was why she was able to resist the gnosia influence or was she a completely different person from the previous timeline?

Still i hope Yuri can find a timeline where everybodu could be happy, perhaps even the gnosia. Everyone story is just too sad they deserve their happy ending.

salic4282025-12-27 18:39

> what makes the other timeline so different

Jina was Gnosia for 4 different times.

In episode 2, she was the sole Gnosia. When questioned by Yuri if she was human, she lied and Yuri detected it (the lie detector is not often triggered in this show, so you can see Jina really bad at lying), but Yuri didn't pick it up and voted SQ out due to false belief.

A nice detail: in ep1, after SQ says "before the bad end?", the scene cuts to the warp, and Yuri's scream can be heard (implying SQ toyed with Yuri and only killed them during the warp). But in ep2, after Jina says "hope to see you", there was no scream and Yuri immediately looped.

In episode 3, there was two Gnosia (she and Stella). During the bad end we don't get to see her face. Maybe she was acting against her killing instinct the entire time?

In episode 8, this is the Kukrushka incident episode. Now we know why Jina tried to help Yuri despite being a Gnosia. And finally, we have today's episode.

So I think, with the exception of episode 3, Gnosia Jina seems pretty consistent across the loops.

MHyde52025-12-27 18:47

In ep 3, Stella try to "make Yuri feel pleasure", and we see Gina was closing in on SQ in the back and SQ be like "No way, no way bruh".

This ep, Yuri just unintentionally reminded Gina of her past and why she hates lying and the fact that Gina also lies in the last loops so Gina just breaks down.

Nesp22025-12-27 23:55

I hope the final loop is Yuri having a harem.

Brief_Business_85632025-12-28 00:32

I believe its because Yuri saw through her plan? Being a Gnosia seemingly put them into a trance sometimes like how Yuri was when they eliminated Otome.

Sorta like she instinctively went "I'm gonna make Yuri trust me by doing this." to "How did they know what I was planning? Do they already know I'm a Gnosia?" which then leading to "Why did I instinctively try to do that in the first place?" sorta situation, and she comes to a realization of how much being a Gnosia has affected her willingness to lie and manipulate people. At least thats how I read it.

In other timelines there wasn't anyone else to snap her out of her Gnosia instincts, so she doesn't get to that point.

Ok-Sundae-91932025-12-27 18:25

We saw what a happy Gnosia ending looked like with Comet, but this is depressing af, the personality of Jina is tragic and Yuri is too empathetic for his own good.

The thing I will remember from now on is that Yuriko indeed is a freaking psycho working with other psychos.

FarCritical2025-12-27 19:38

A bit of a bittersweet one with Sha-Ming too

BosuW2025-12-27 23:10

About Yuriko, I think it's possible among the general setting this death cult is not as automatically repulsive as it is to us. Reason being the authority Yuriko commands just by her position. Before today's reveals, I was actually under the impression that she had such authority because most everyone else already practices or believes in whatever religion she's from. I think it's still possible, just still not everyone immediately jumps to kill themselves.

Hmmm, I wonder if the death cult is led by a Gnosia, and is trying to convince all of humanity that they should kill themselves, NOW.

mmcjawa_reborn2025-12-28 02:42

I'm not convinced the Gnosia are actually "killing" people...after all there are a lot more effective ways than attacking one person at a time. We've seen the bodies straight up disappear, so maybe the humans are simply being removed from this reality into somewhere else. Jina seems to think that is the case at least.

am9qb3JlZmVyZW5jZQ2025-12-28 18:47

The visuals of Otome disintegrating and being sent into a black sphere in episode 9, plus the distorted screams we hear when someone is getting killed in stopped time make me think Gnosia being a vessel for some form of cyberization / transportation is more likely than just death.

NoHead17152025-12-28 13:23

It looked to me more like the death cult were using Gnosias for their cyberization. Not sure if Yuriko is in fact controlling the Gnosias

noonetookdisusername2025-12-27 18:31

probably my favorite episode ngl

bottled_fox2025-12-27 18:33

Great episode. We finally learn crucial details about what Gnosia are, and it's from Jina, the turncoat who couldn't bear life as a Gnosia.

Cyberization is not salvation. Not for her, at least. It is becoming a different kind of being, something she never asked for or wanted. Yuriko has a lot to answer for now, for her role in this terrifying process.

BosuW2025-12-27 23:13

> Jina, the turncoat who couldn't bear life as a Gnosia.

Its surprising to me how we've actually seen not one but _two_ self sacrifices amongst the characters who become Gnosia and would rather die themselves than kill. However it is actually Sha-Ming who is the kindest, even above Gina, as he immediately locks himself in his room if he is Gnosia to get everyone to freeze him, and the only one he killed was Otome because he felt it was a mercy compared to allowing her to return to the labs.

JustASumoGuy2025-12-27 23:56

But he didnt lock himself in his room in the route with Yuri as the Gnosia.

duo99dusk2025-12-28 02:33

Also makes sense why she has constantly talked about how horrible it is the thought of being killed by Gnosia and preferring cold sleep.

MHyde52025-12-27 18:35

So everyone's backgrounds that we know so far.

Yuri: unknown.

Setsu: a genderless soldier.

SQ: 511th clone.

Gina: her mother turned into...undying smt cybernization.

Raqio: a genderless person of a planet that values intelligence.

Stella: an AI.

Shigemichi: he got into an accident and got artificial skin.

Chipie: he wants to turn into a cat.

Comet: she lives symbiotic with a slime that proved she is strong enough to survive.

Jonas: he went into cold sleep for so long he goes mad and isn't used to the modern world.

Kukrushka: a doll.

Otome: an intellectualized beluga whale.

Sha-Ming: he was raised by intellectualized bonobos.

Yuriko: a member of a cult that turns people into...undying smt cybernization.

Remnan: he lived on an AI planet.

Everyone has smt to do with transhumanism (Yuri still doesn't remember anything about themselves).

DocMcCoy2025-12-27 19:02

>a cult that turns people into...undying smt cybernization

Or they just kill them and say "oh, they're in heaven now". So far we haven't really seen much that confirms they're doing anything to actually keep their "souls" around

MHyde52025-12-27 19:13

Didn't Gina see her mother dissapear. Well might be it is just "kill", but not traditional kill at least, there is a consent form and all (kinda chuckle at the thought there is a contract for that, they don't want to get sued).

N-P-C-C2025-12-27 19:50

Even cults don't wanna fuck with lawyers. lol

GreatGrapeKun2025-12-27 19:41

/r/transtrans anime

duo99dusk2025-12-28 02:36

Also Jina: Great sense of fashion before wearing the space suit

frik10002025-12-28 08:41

It took me until the last sentence to realize smt was shorthand for "something." Kept wondering what Shin Megami Tensei game had a cybernetic death cult, which wouldn't surprise me if there was one.

xbolt902025-12-27 18:37

Now *that* was a tragic episode. Poor Jina.

i_like_trees-2025-12-27 18:40

Now that we're at the end of the first cour, what do the anime-onlys here think of the characters so far? Any favorites?

Namaryu2025-12-27 18:46

Sha-ming. I wished to know more about Yuriko but she is end game for SUUUURE.

tweetthebirdy2025-12-28 09:10

Sha-ming is my favourite male character for sure.

salic4282025-12-27 18:51

I pick SQ. Her little movements (even in the background) really lighten up the atmosphere. The meetings where she was not present (e.g. episode 5 or this episode) just feel like missing something.

Also, while she often jokes and "tell lies", we learn from last episode that she is just an insecure girl who is uncertain about her own identity. I'm personally fond of this kind of character.

Rapaly2025-12-27 19:49

Honestly all of the characters have different charms.
I feel like it's kind of unfair but I like Yuri the most. He/she(depends on the loop lol) goes through a lot of development and I love their logical deductions.
Thst is the only character that can go through permanent character development which is why I think it might be a bit unfair.

If not Yuri then Raqio. He is a prick and I love to hate on him lol.

xbolt902025-12-27 20:00

Dang, it's hard to pick. I've been generally vibing with SQ-chan, but this episode gave me a whole new respect for Jina.

skygz2025-12-27 20:13

I like seeing Racio get sleep'd

duo99dusk2025-12-28 02:39

His pajamas are great

fansi20222025-12-27 22:34

I chose shaming. When he became Gnosia, he chose to lock himself up and suggested that everyone vote him out. His interaction with female Yuri also proved that he was a serious gentleman at heart.

AvatarTuner2025-12-27 23:23

So far they all grew to me after I learned more about them even if I wasn't fond of them initially.

I didn't like Jina much after her being Gnosia in the second episode but she gradually gained my favorability and this episode just blew me away again. Same with SQ last week.

So far my favs are Setsu (I feel like a baby chick who bonded with them after hatching lol), the prick Racio (oh no, he's hot), Jina, Sha-Ming and Stella.

The few I'm not very fond so far of are Shigemichi and Jonas/Kukrushka.

Yuriko intrigues me and I hope we'll get to know more about her soon, but it feels like she knows too much and the focus might remain on other characters first.

I also really like Yuri and am glad they managed to create such a good "player stand-in" for the anime.

duo99dusk2025-12-28 02:39

Yuri

I'm ready to daisuki Yuri like the rest of the cast 🗿

mmcjawa_reborn2025-12-28 02:53

They are all pretty great, so ignoring the ones that we haven't spent much time with (Otome, Yuriko, Reman), I don't have a favorite. And I assume we will spend more time with those characters in course 2.

Imaginary-End-082025-12-28 03:08

My favorite is Comet lol. Ever since her very first appearance. Something about her positivity is alluring. There's also her glorious form. I can put up with her being ditzy because of her willingness to speak her mind and her honesty.

My second favorite is SQ because she was a huge mystery.... and cute. Definitely would have got into alot of trouble using Yuri's body if I was onboard. Her sex appeal is calculated and I am weak to it. She also basically teaches people how to avoid being emotionally manipulated by teasing them lol. It also helps that she doesn’t take many things seriously.

Can I name Yuri since Yuri is the POV character? Yuri is smart as heck and with a good heart. This is the best possible character to see through the eyes of.

Then there's Jina. She's always been high on my list, but the show really isn't kind to her despite her having all the qualities of Best Girl! She's my secret favorite.

I also like Racio too but for all the wrong reasons lol.

Really good decision having Gina take the front and center focus for this episode over Yuri. In the game always found her a bit flat compared to most of the rest of the cast, and shining a spotlight directly on her this time around really gave a lot of room to really bring out her unique traits and made the ending feel like it had a lot of weight. Great stuff.

NanDemoKnaives2025-12-27 21:21

Yeah I had the same feeling during the episode especially because I had just watched SQ's episode. We were watching Jina's perspective and not Yuri's of Jina.

duo99dusk2025-12-28 02:31

Also changing the ending was a great idea that do not clash with the tragic tale of a Gnosia we just saw

nighty_amy2025-12-27 19:00

That's the second episode when Jina decided to out herself as Gnosia, isn't it. She now matches with Sha-ming in the number of times they gave themselves over as Gnosia.

But wait, do I understand this correctly that the cyberization process Jina's mother went through is the exact same thing as when a human is killed by Gnosia? Otome being killed by Sha-ming, Comet and Yuri looked pretty painful,so I'm not convinced that's a good way to go. Especially since we don't know what exactly happens AFTER cyberization.

Man that ed is real good

Unknownlight2025-12-27 19:07

I mentioned this last week too, but these last few episodes would be so improved if they just cut the “I love you, Yuri” line from the ending of each of them. It’s so frustrating. It turns these otherwise really good character interactions into a joke, like the Silver Key’s goal is to turn Yuri into a harem protagonist. At least the ending implies that this is probably the last of the “romance route” episodes since Cour 2 will be starting ~~next~~ in two weeks.

Anyway, still enjoyed everything up to the last few seconds. 😆

liscup342025-12-27 19:28

I mean, they play all the "I love you" straight because of the bonds, how is that a joke lol. The Silver Key just likes knowledge. Yuri is the only person who try their best to protect and understand them in all this, and then they know Yuri won't be here anymore, it is tragic that the only person who could make them open up shall not be here anymore. Yuri's entire journey gonna be separations and departures. Their bonds are all portrayed well and beautifully done for that.

jardex222025-12-27 20:18

I think it's because they've known Yuri for less than 48 hours. Going from complete strangers to a confession doesn't always seem earned.

The game makes it a bit more impactful because the player has gone through dozens of loops and has gotten to know the crew that way. I suppose Yuri is representing that by straight up exposing the key and revealing the loops.

liscup342025-12-27 20:26

Well we can play dozens of loops for sport. I wouldn't say it is different because both the game and anime all go through a few days per loops. Comet, Sha-Ming, SQ, Gina all know how much Yuri trusts them and trying so hard to understand them, which never happened before to someone like them, (and we all get foreshadowings on their backstory previously so this is set up properly) so catching feelings in a short time is reasonable. And they all know Yuri will be gone so they have to get they out of their chest quick because it is their only life while Yuri will always depart. Seeing how hard Yuri is trying for them is earned and impactful imo (how Yuri finds SQ among the hologram is peak).

Sorwest2025-12-27 20:43

Counterpoint, Yuri found himself in a time loop surrounded by people who at the slightest poking reveal themselves to be immensely insecure and depressive. They've been locked in the middle of nowhere after barely escaping a catastrophe and starving for human connection. If anything Yuri should open up a therapy room on-board

Unknownlight2025-12-27 20:48

Yeah, I agree, the actual character interactions are really good! The problem is five episodes in a row of characters falling in love with Yuri, which just makes it feel silly to me.

MusubiKazesaru2025-12-27 19:11

KanaHana's performance as Otome cracked me up today.

The Gnosia state sometimes feels kind of inconsistent in what it does to people. Previously it felt like the Gnosia versions were alternate characters while this time it felt more like the original Jina was taken over.

Yuri winning over the girls in turn, makes me wonder about the decision to make him supposedly neither. To begin with the characters that are neither seem to heavily slide in one direction. Either way it's been a long while since had a such a strong VN adaptation.

MHyde52025-12-27 19:17

Not really, the Gnosia are consistently have the same personalities and are just themselves. They also just want to kill people too adding onto it, killing people is an urge, they don't question, they just do, lying is only a tool to get away from said killings. Gnosia Gina would be how Gina would react if she murders someone and try to cover for herself, she would feel so much guilt from lying. Gina really hates lying (but of course as Gnosia, she doesn't mind killing and doesn't comment on that).

Cyouni2025-12-27 19:24

> Yuri winning over the girls in turn, makes me wonder about the decision to make him supposedly neither. To begin with the characters that are neither seem to heavily slide in one direction. Either way it's been a long while since had a such a strong VN adaptation.

Note that there was also the route where Yuri had to be a girl to win over Sha-Ming.

MusubiKazesaru2025-12-27 19:29

Well that's exactly it isn't it. In "his" base form Yuri is winning over the ladies, but has to specifically become a woman for Sha-Ming. He's so male-coded much like Setsu leans towards being a woman that it makes no difference besides flavor text.

So "he's" basically a guy regularly, a guy if he was a guy, and a woman when "he" is a woman. Yuri could be a guy in all routes and a woman in that one route and it'd be all the same thing.

RedRune2025-12-27 19:15

I'm so glad to see one of my favorite events in the game adapted this episode. This episode really did it justice

FarCritical2025-12-27 19:15

[Gnosia Otome and her vicious teeth](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/48ed22c05e36.jpg) and regular cutesy voice is freakier than she has any right to be.

Can only imagine the crashout Racio would have if Jina pulled that stunt while they were her partner lmao (meanwhile I can picture Sha-Ming being poignantly on board with it). But damn, easily the Gnosia elimination that felt the most like a pyrrhic victory so far.

mmcjawa_reborn2025-12-28 02:46

I've spent a fair bit of time around beluga skulls...they are surprisingly crocodilian in appearance without the soft anatomy

FlameDragoon9332025-12-28 03:03

> Gnosia Otome and her vicious teeth and regular cutesy voice is freakier than she has any right to be.

KanaHana character, always an angel or a freak, rarely in-between

TxRyuxT2025-12-28 12:21

Freakier when she alternates between those 2 polarity in the same character.

BornfromDarkness2025-12-27 19:19

Good fucking shit, I forgot about Jina bit, god I hope the go the extra mile and give us like a epilogue at the end that’s just a hour of story building

BornfromDarkness2025-12-27 19:20

Obligatory mention to look into raging loop

999 series

Sekimeiya spun glass

Suhoshin

And many other similar games, this genre needs to be bloated

N-P-C-C2025-12-27 19:59

Loved 999, and the trilogy as a whole, so will note these down. Thank you.

Try lost dimensions - it combines mech RTS with among us find the traitor stuff.

umbre_the_secret_dog2025-12-27 20:26

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is also a wild ride of a time loop game. It's pretty chunky though, I'm like 30+ hours in and have only beaten the introductory loop and gotten part way into another.

Namaryu2025-12-27 22:14

I vouch for 100 Line. Kodaka and Uchikoshi are monsters and the lenght is REALLY insane. I have only done like 30 or so endings and paused for a bit cuz binging everything the game has to offer can be mentall draining.

AWSGooogle7772025-12-27 19:29

It felt like I’d just finished watching a two-hour movie. It was a truly magnificent and heartbreaking story.

So, Jina was a child of a religious family. Looking back after finishing, that scene at the beginning where young Jina cried out "Don't leave me" must have been foreshadowing her separation from her mother. Her mother claimed that through cybernetics—becoming a soul-only existence—she would be liberated from suffering. However, that choice resulted in the eternal agony of being unable to see her own child even if she wanted to. It is a cruel irony—being right beside her, yet invisible and untouchable for eternity. Now, I am intensely curious about how Yuriko is involved in all of this as a shrine maiden.

The shift between the beginning and the end of this episode was particularly striking. It was wonderful to see how Yuri, who initially took a cold, distancing attitude toward Jina when suspecting her of being Gnosia, eventually reached out his hand to save her. Just as it was with Comet, when someone who is terrible at lying says "I love you, Yuri," it is a confession from the bottom of their heart, and something truly precious. While it is sad that they were separated in the end, and Yuri might view it as a "bad end" since he couldn't save her, for Jina, it might be a form of salvation. She was able to convey her true feelings to Yuri without any lies, staying true to her ironclad conviction of never wanting to deceive or lie to anyone until the very end.

This was an episode where I truly came to understand the strength of Jina as a woman. I am really looking forward to the second cour starting next January.

N-P-C-C2025-12-27 20:11

Yeah...Made note of how...jaded yuri seemed as a looper at the start, but switched up as it he got invested again - gotta remember for the crew this is their one story, and this was beautiful.

duo99dusk2025-12-28 02:34

And Yuri probably looks like that for the rest of the cast (similar to Setsu) unlike to us because as audience we are always hearing what his thoughts are.

Cyouni2025-12-27 19:59

I only put together today that Hoshibune translates to "starship".

They really just put together a spaceship named Starship.

Rouge_RH2025-12-27 20:09

ULULO WAS SO GOOD IN THIS EPISODE AHHHHHHHHHHHH

marioquartz2025-12-27 20:20

I have not watch the episode yet (I will do that in some hours) but I have an important question:

Is confirmed how many episodes are? Oficially are 12 but some say are 21 based in dics number.

jardex222025-12-27 20:29

It was interesting seeing the POV shift, since this is the first time we see something that Yuri wasn't privy to, and that Setsu is the one arranging who wakes Yuri up at the start of the loop.

Emi_Ibarazakiii2025-12-27 20:46

[THIS WAS NOT A VERY CHRISTMASSY EPISODE!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/4f66d8d3d268.png)

[](#emptyinside)

And I watched 2 in a row too (didn't have time to watch the previous one last week), and both of them were feelsy, albeit for different reasons...

[(I will never forget THIS cute li'l SQ)](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/32158acab2ff.png)

[Opens on feels, ends on feels... At least there were SOME light-hearted moments here and there!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/7721400e05de.png)

[Damn, 2 seconds in, already knows the two Gnosia? (Or rather, THINKS they know!)](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/0751f58b6010.png)

Raqio's the one who would get the team to lose in Werewolf games, by being confidently wrong about everything and convincing people of following them in their nonsense!

[](#azusalaugh)

[When Yuri held her in, ](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/c270d1cf13fb.png)

he wanted to try and help her, but I thought he wanted to learn more about Gnosia (well, I suppose he did learn a bit); I guess it's my scientific mind, but I would've used that opportunity to study Gnosia as much as I can (focusing on the 'what' she represents), while Yuri wanted to learn more about the person and all!

Because the Gnosia seems like a complex entity;

[Some people affected go all in, ](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/8a548aa9a680.png)

[while others are putting up a fight, resisting, even going as far as killing themselves, rather than becoming something else/betraying people etc..](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/fd01cb00c746.png)

So if SOMEONE can resist Gnosia, perhaps everyone can... They just need to find the way!

["Hmm... you?](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/623e4185f71d.png)

[](#evilgrin)

[Hah! I was talking about doing that in a prevoius thread, a 3 engineer call...](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/b2095bae6354.png)

But I was discussing it as an "out of the box" strategy, while she's doing it as a "doing the right thing before she dies"...

[Otome slowly retreating during the scene hah.](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/c6601d6c1938.png)

*"What the fuck is this moron doing?"*

[](#azusalaugh)

Can't even do anything, because it's not like she can tell her "that's not what she's supposed to do/what they planned"!

[Honestly this kinda shows that my weirdo strategy wasn't that bad;](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/0e3019aab0f5.png)

If 2 Engineers call out a third means he's human, then you can use that strategy to 100% Coldsleep a human (by pointing to a Gnosia instead, and they'll use the same logic to call that Gnosia human).

Of course it'd mean they'll coldsleep one of the other 2 the next day, but after 2 days they will sleep 1 gnosia, 1 human, and 2 human will die to the warp...

This means 1 gnosia will die for 3 humans. Seems pretty good a strategy, no? (especially if there's more than 2 Gnosia, like the games where they had 3 or 4... Definitely worth sacrifying 1 Gnosia to take out 3 humans! Especially since it'll confuse everyone, AND they'll make more bad decisions due to the false Engineer calls!)

[Man...](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6f89e8683146.png)

THE FEELS NEVER END!

[](#emptyinside)

(Also I was wondering what it reminded me off, but I think it's [game]>!FF8?!< )

Seems this show is 2 cours, nice!

One of my favorite this season (if not MY favorite), happy to see it continue!

MHyde52025-12-27 20:54

Well Gina just hates lying that much bc of her mother. No one can resist killing people as Gnosia however.

Tho all they need to do is cold sleep all 3, they already know 2 in 3 are liars, Setsu just does the deductions to at least save Chipie. It isn't worth it for Gnosia to do a suicide tactic when they could have lived instead. Killing humans is priority but living should be the included.

Agreeable-Cap-26662025-12-27 21:15

This really made me cry. It's really hard having a mother like that. You really start hating lies - lying and being lied to, deceiving and being deceived, even if it's small, careless, not really thought out. It makes sense why Jina is quiet in meetings, but always watchful and observant enough to guess so accurately for each vote for each loop in which she is not the Gnosia. Kind, gentle, but sensitive because of her past. I really love her character.

NanDemoKnaives2025-12-27 21:17

Damn I wasn't expecting Jina's episode to turn out so heavy in the end, the way she exposed herself and Otome as Gnosias and then sacrificed herself to protect every on board was surprising even if I knew she had decided to do something. It was interesting to hear her say how she was slowly feeling more okay to lie when she actually hates it.

It seems like we might get a Yuriko episode soon now that her religion has been brought up, and it has similar qualities to Gnosias so that'll be interesting to look into.

I also find it interesting how this is another episode where Setsu gets someone to wake Yuri up, they're trying to get Yuri's knowledge filled up lol.

Consent Form

The waves of time erode the flesh, marking the end of most life.

Yet your soul can continue to dance with the unchanging light. Now is the time to cast off those bonds and embark upon the ocean of cyberization, where infinite knowledge and eternal freedom awaits.

There, death and pain cease to exist - only the pure expansion of consciousness remains.

Your thoughts will lose all limitations and every boundary will dissolve.

As a chosen one, declare here and now your will - to transend the flesh and become your soul.

You are a special being, posessing the qualifications to transcend the confines of the flesh and attain cyberization.

Do you consent to your cyberization?

Mana_Croissant2025-12-27 21:58

I love how they not only got a consent form for that to fight off potential suing but also they wrote is so unclear and ambiguous that it says nothing about the actual process and end result

BosuW2025-12-27 23:45

Idk seems pretty clear to me at least what they _believe_ it entails

I don't think it's even possible to really describe in text what it is like because only those who have gone through it could understand yet by not having the "interphase" of the physical body anymore they also wouldn't be able to explain it to us

Unless the cult has some way to "translate", at least

Pecuthegreat2025-12-27 23:58

could also just be part of their beliefs. If they believe you should ascent to be cyberized (maybe cuz they see it as a good thing) then signing the form could be part of the ritual.

Pecuthegreat2025-12-27 23:57

I feel like, okay if their conciousness is cyber now, why not let them inhabit robot bodies instead of have them be forever cut off from their family.

Imaginary-End-082025-12-28 02:19

Right. We've seen cloning and androids... and even full body reconstruction. I think that it's just not a service that I available to everyone. Like how we have many privileges to be enjoyed..... but it's not for the poor.

Chikumori2025-12-28 04:24

They're supposed to be spiritual and not bound with earthly problems anymore, sticking them in physical bodies kinda negates the point.

salic4282025-12-28 04:47

Wait, that consent form actually uses valid English huh.

I think you missed one line between "...eternal freedom" and "Your thoughts", though. I can barely see words like "There, death and...only the pure expansion of...".

Can you fill in the blank for us?

Ok-Alternative73492025-12-27 21:58

Looks like yuri îs starting to build a harem of his own. But seriosly, IT looks like this series has take a turn into becoming more emotional and looking at the personalities and lifes of the rest of the crew. If until now yuri was our MC i think from now on he will be mostly be a suport type character with every crew member being the star of the episode. As was Gina this ep and SQ last week ep

Pecuthegreat2025-12-27 23:21

Is this the first time that Gina's the one waking him up?.

Pecuthegreat2025-12-27 23:49

This is the one example of one character saying they love Yuri that didn't feel jarring. They should do more episodes where it is the character that gets into relationship option with MC that's the one we're following instead of the MC.

CIearMind2025-12-28 00:44

Oh.

Comet calls Yuri an 男の子 at 1:06.

A boy. Not a man, a boy.

Pecuthegreat2025-12-28 01:19

I am surprised Otome could stand in the shower at all without her chair. I guess, they must have reinforced her spine to some extent as well.

Imaginary-End-082025-12-28 02:16

Okay, baby Jina is so cute! And wow this episode hit like a ton of bricks. Gnosia Jina is the most interesting character there is. I've always noticed that even when the screens show that she was the Gnosia... that she always did things that didn't quite make sense. She was too caring.... even when it didn't benefit her. I understand her a whole lot better now and I want her to have a happy ending. Almost ALL of her parts in the show have been tragic. She usually dies or gets cold slept more than Racio and that's saying something.

I was super surprised that they got Yuriko first this time. Lol. That was unexpected. Now... Jina sabotaging the meeting, fixing the ship, and then jumping into the void was pretty badass! I like how the show basically showed us this when she made the decision to jump from the building. Imagery is on point!

So... we finally get a look at the ship and it's BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Oh and lastly, did we just get a Final Fantasy 8 scene lol!!!! This brought me back to childhood when Yuri caught her like that. And Jina pulled one of the greatest save/sacrifices that I've seen in recent anime for about 10 years!

.......okay, and as for the part that nobody asked for.... While Comet is more my type (energetic and positive all the time.... doesn't sweat the small stuff... okay with making mistakes... and always speaks her mind), I WOULD MARRY THE HELL OUT OF JINA!!! SHE'S TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD... EVEN AS A FREAKING GNOSIA! (Kind, dutiful, smart, attentive!! So many good qualities!). I kinda want to have a ranking system of the characters for this whole purpose, but I guess I should probably wait until the show is over lol. (Because the top three for everybody is going to be dominated by Comet, SQ, and Jina lol)

I wonder who'll get the next focus.... I kinda want to follow Remmy to see how he links to SQ, Kukru, and Cap.
