NGL: Yours was the most amusing reply in the entire area.

Wait... Did Fushi just lose a form? Could that mean the shapeshifting granted by knockers comes at a price? And maybe they can still take his forms away with it?

Fushi is really bad at lying. But the question is... Who killed those clones?

At least the Switch is not where it was in Chobits. 😅

I'm starting to suspect of the company president. He has very obvious reasons to murder everyone.

So the chips do have knockers inside. Now it's more obvious that something absolutely evil is afoot.

That world feels absolutely wrong.

That's why I said even if it doesn't return to the owner, it returns to the government which issued it. Yes. It is not practical from a Western perspective. But in Japan the concept of "harmony and nation" matters a lot more. And by harmony it means everyone will be helpful even if the effort seems outwardly futile. That way, in theory, no one will feel comfortable stealing. It's part of building a high trust society.

The company president is one of those idea guys who prove why they're not in charge of anything important.

In Japan is actually immoral and people usually take even a single coin to the police. While it doesn't guarantee it will be found by the rightful owner, it at least "returns" to the state that issues money. Only the sleazy and the destitute keep money found on the ground there.
However it is obvious that such a thing is a cultural difference. My advice is that when in Rome, you do as the Romans. Thus, regarding lost money, treat it as others in the country do. Don't bring large amounts of cash to Mexico, BTW. Here if you lose your wallet, you might get it back, but without the cash in it. And that is if you get it back at all.

Ah. I get her point. The sphere can make her human because it can make anything true.

Small fry? Maybe. But they have something Hayase will never get, no matter how many times her putrid will returns. Fushi's love.

So. I assume Fushi's side has at least a whole country of support. But what led to this?

Ora! Ora! Ora!

Considering all her abnormal traits, I strongly suspect she's like the copy of Fushi we saw before, but a more refined version. A single knocker using the doll as outer body.

I suspect that doll is actually a knocker.

You'd think immortals in such a world would be considered gods and in the upper echelons of society. After all they have been around for longer than the system itself. Unless something led to that system being separate from everything Fushi worked for in the past.

So. The world of peace is far from over? How did they become wanted criminals? Something tells me that new world is absolutely evil.

Poor March. A whole life experienced to the fullest, and didn't become a mother to anyone but Fushi. Well. At least she stayed cute until the end.

Is there anyone in the main cast who isn't a test subject in some freak experiment?
