English Dub Review: To Your Eternity “Become as People.”

Overview

Rikuya is found destroyed. The Nokkers proceed to confront Fushi..

Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, the story has now shifted into a more unsettling tone as Fushi finds himself at the center of an evolving crisis, with strange behavior from mizuha and the changing tactics of the Nokkers hinting at a threat far more personal than before, and makes it clear that Fushi is being pushed into unfamiliar emotional territory, while characters like Bon and Tonari ground the uncertainty and emphasize just how disorienting and unpredictable this new phase of the conflict has become.

The rest of the episode leans into psychological pressure over direct combat, using fear, confusion, and rising tension to show how outmatched Fushi feels despite his growth, while Tonari and other familiar figures add emotional weight that tests his stability and trust; their presence helps ground the turmoil by contrasting Fushi’s inner struggle with the group’s practical concerns, strategic choices, and personal worries, making it clear that everyone is being pushed to their limits…

Overall, the episode takes a heavy, unsettling turn that reframes the Nokkers with new moral complexity while keeping the stakes deeply personal, centering on Fushi’s mounting isolation, emotional turmoil, and the crushing weight of the choices he now faces; as the story leans into the grotesque, the tragic, and the morally gray especially in the Nokkers’ warped attempts at “coexistence” the direction, performances, and tense atmosphere drive home how thoroughly Fushi is being pushed between empathy and duty, setting the stage for a confrontation that is as psychological as it is physical. And with the way that cliffhanger played out, I’m hooked enough to see where this goes next!
