The ending just shook me why would anyone push Nao like that right when they were making plans for the zoo

Aki playing basketball on a bad ankle was cool and all but the way he talks about being sea foam is actually depressing

The basketball game was such a relief and seeing Hayase have to apologize in front of everyone felt like actual justice for once and Aki definitely earned that win

I am devastated by that ending. Nao jumping in to save Aki only to get pushed onto the tracks herself was heart-wrenching and I need to know she is okay

This episode focuses on Aki and Shuya’s revenge. The story is really good, and I feel bad for Aki. I just want the four of them to stay together. That cliffhanger really got me, can’t wait for the next episode. This might be my favorite romance anime this season.

Wow, they really showed so much chemistry between Nao and Aki in this episode, then gave us that mind-blowing cliffhanger at the end. I’m excited for the next episode, but at the same time, I’m scared of what will happen next.

This was honestly a cute and slightly melancholic episode for Nao and Aki. I love them both. That cliffhanger at the end really shocked me and added anticipation for the next episode. This anime’s gonna make me cry, ain’t it? T^T

I love Nao and Aki’s dynamics so much in this episode. Their chemistry was just too good and cute. This was a satisfying episode, but the cliffhanger caught me off guard. It really made me look forward to the next one.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off 'A Replica Is Confused,' where Nao began wrestling with her own feelings and sense of self, this fourth episode marks a clear tonal turning point for the season — the story is no longer just romantic, it is morally complex. At roughly the one-third mark of a 13-episode run, it functions as a pivot that deepens the stakes before the midseason stretch. It directly sets up 'A Replica Dreams,' suggesting the show is building toward heavier explorations of desire, consequence, and what the replicas are ultimately becoming.
