Koogy acts like an ass. Everyone redo’s their name, then gets their five minutes in the sun. And there’s a 4-way tie for the finish. Ok, that last one remains to be seen. But you get the gist.

For an episode that confirmed nothing and went nowhere, I sort of enjoyed it.

Little bit of an odd episode here, as I’m not sure John Doe’s sudden Oracle-ness turn makes sense considering his history of attacking Yumeji, but let’s run with it.
