Wow, holy shit man. Mimori’s mom is a bigger waste of space than I could have imagined. Why tf don’t the Nokkers take her? Absolutely pathetic excuse of a parent and human being. Poor Mimori’s life is so shit, about the only person who seems to genuinely care about her is that lolicon Hirotoshi. Guy’s a creep but he’s a creep with a heart. I’m glad in the end they got Mimori back with her body.

Yeah, when Fushi said "you could have done more" or whatever, I was like, yeah, you could have taken over mimori long enough to kill her fuck ass mom then steal her body like they did with Mizuha.

The Knocker did say that she always supported death, so she did the bare minimum to just slowly take over Mimory without actually helping her so that she would end up dying and she could take over

Yeah either they Nokkers really tried to help in their twisted non understanding way or she really was just talking bullshit

I am kinda betting on the latter

Well, I assume Mizuha's situation was an exception and otherwise the nookers inside people wouldnt overstep their boundaries as to kill other people related to the host. And as Mimori's nokker said she always supports dying, so while she was trying to soothe mimori's mental suffering at the end of the day she didnt mind her ending things. Nokkers since S1 wanted to free the souls from their suffering flesh, so nothing new here.

I think based on what she said about wanting to have more fun, watching from paradise, welcoming Hirotoshi to paradise, what the other Nokker said about dying and starting over again, how she excitedly agreed to try her best next time, and how the other Nokker said there was a grand purpose, I'm willing to believe they're trying to do something larger, but whether it's actually trying to help or if it's just to control are yet to be seen.

u/Imaginary-End-08 Nov 30 '25

I think they want to become "life". The Black One in S1 said that they failed to become life.

The title of the next episode, "Become as People" would imply to me that you are correct.

u/Fermi_Amarti Dec 04 '25

Lol. Like Mizuha? I assume that is usually outside their MO like killing their hosts. I feel like something weird happened with Mizuha's Knokker when she was at her grandpas.

u/TiamatRuneaid Nov 29 '25

It’s probably how they operate and try to prove a point that this life is indeed not perfect….they need a deep sadness, depression or unwilligness to life in their hosts body. Mimoris mom was an asshat, but definitely werent suicidal so they couldn’t invade. At least this is my theory 😅

u/BosuW Nov 29 '25

Its looking increasingly likely that they did use Mizuha to kill her mom though. I wonder what's up with that exception then.

u/Miserable_Answer9927 Nov 29 '25

Pretty sure Mizuha wanted to die too before she met Fushi.

 My theory is that they entered Mizuha when she started feeling depressed but couldnt take over anymore after she met Fushi which basically cured her depression, which led to the nokker making Mizuha kill her mom and then probably jumped ship to get Mizuha's mom body

u/tanezuki Nov 29 '25

But Mizuha mom didn't want to die.

I thought that they'd only take over bodies of people that didn't want to live anymore.

u/Haunting-House-5063 Nov 30 '25 edited Nov 30 '25

That guy theory is just wrong

Izumi didn't want to die yet Nokkers still used her body

Or maybe take what Nokker Mimori said, "she's always in favor of death", killing an uninfected human allows Nokkers to take over the person killed even if the host didn't really want to die

u/Thin-Device3018 Dec 07 '25

You know what hurts so much about Mimori's mom. I have seen people like her in real life. I have seen people who don't need a kid do everything possible to take care of a child that is not their own. I won't wish death on Mimori's mom, but I do wish she'd become a better person one day.

u/ThrowCarp Dec 31 '25

about the only person who seems to genuinely care about her is that lolicon Hirotoshi.

I was about to say, this episode did the impossible and made a lolicon siscon HikkiNEET look like the hero.

u/Pecuthegreat Nov 29 '25

It seems they no longer kill people. Their main target now seems to be those that do suicide and those around them. If they don't die by themselves, they don't take over.

u/Bocchi_theGlock https://myanimelist.net/profile/Bocchi_theGlock Nov 30 '25

I'm curious if it'll get fully explained since it seems to fit the lore - Fushi is not able to revive people if their ghost 'moved on' - there has to be desire to continue living.

Here, people start to get taken over if that will isn't present while alive, and the body is fully taken over once they die.

However, wouldn't their ghosts move on? Maybe it's different for Mimori since she saw her bro while falling to death, so they had regrets. Similar for Mizuha's mom, having been killed.

u/Pecuthegreat Nov 30 '25

Mizuha's mom own is interesting as given we are never given any indication that she's suicidal, it probably means the nockers either also monitor those around suicidal people or can just jump bodies from their main suicidal target if someone dies close enough.

4

u/Imaginary-End-08 Nov 30 '25

Well.... Mizuha's mom kinda breaks this standard so that might not be entirely true.

3

u/Pecuthegreat Nov 30 '25

Unless she was killed by a knocker taking over Mizuha for a while and thus, a conspiracy. It may just be possible for the Knockers to jump from a suicidal person to someone recently dead near them.

u/ShadowGuyinRealLife Nov 30 '25

So that would imply the Black One was right and the best thing to do is nothing? But I don't know, leaving Minmori's Nokker alive seems like a bad idea.

u/Pecuthegreat Nov 30 '25

I mean, mimori's nokker was definately a dick when confronted but aside from that she wasn't really much of an issue.
