For god's sake Luke please we are begging for Maomao

Sinbad_Deity

Literally just finished the episode, talk about perfect timing

Rem is best waifu

Been waiting on this reaction since I watched it last night. So much going on, the clown potion give you heightened balance, strength, and can throw paper. Then you go into what I was fearing, which was a very emotion ending for a LOTM episode.

Orieng

Agreed

Sinbad_Deity

The acting method is literally acting as the name of your potion, so Klein had to act as a seer, the next potion in his pathway is the clown, so he has to act as a clown.

DeusSilvam

At this point, all you need to know about the acting method is that, by using the knowledge of the potion's name you can "act" in the role. And by acting as a "Seer" or a "Clown", you will get insights into the principles of that sequence. Like Klein was acting out as a Seer, doing divinations etc. and that sped up his digestion of the Seer potion - but the digestion did not finish until he figured out one of the core principles, of divinations not actually being all powerful. If he did not act as a Seer, he would not have realized that. Now there is more to the acting method, but that is something that the story gets into much later.

Sinbad_Deity

Yes that clown from episode 3 was on the Seer pathway, as he was the one who gave Klein the recipe for his sequence 8, which is named the clown.

Rem is best waifu

The only other Seer sequence they have mentioned so far was the clown who was actually a sequence 7 magician. I don't know of any other characters mentioned.

Mi Hasu

I cried too man

GutterSnipe1

Old Neil talked about getting info from the Sage, and in the book displayed earlier states that the Sage became an evil god.

patros36

Lotm is getting so much special treatment its crazy. I guess Luke really hates Apothecary Diary at this point. Will Dress-Up Darling also replace Maomao for the next 6 weeks similarly to LotM??

mjaomjao2

Ep 9 really is amazing, people in the know apparently say it's the second best one so that's something to look forward to :)

Peyton Meinhart

Poor Luke needs to hug his wife after this one ❤️

patros36

At this point im guessing Luke just really doesn't enjoy watching Maomao and wants to delay it as long as possible.

One thing to point out that seems to be strongly heavily implied by this episode is that if you're higher on the pathway (approaching or at godhood level) you can negatively influence those lower on the pathway to you. The example given was the Moses Ascetic Order, which was peaceful while the knowledge they worshiped was not embodied in physical form. Once "The Hidden Sage" awakened, or became personified either by finding an avatar or by someone ascending to the final pathway, the entire order turned evil by their influence. From this, two things could be said: Given what old Neil said, he tried to follow the maxim of said order. However, it may be that such a maxim was created after the Hidden Sage awoke, and therefore it was a trap for lower sequence people, maybe intentionally so. Additionally, after Neil's extra eyes closed, we see the spirit eyes that were behind him when Klein first got his spirit sight close as well, implying the sage's influence has been going on for quite some time. Given that it is seen as a malevolent entity, it may be that it influenced even the direction of Neil's drive to resurrect his wife, but Neil, so dedicated to not doing harm, would rather harm itself (which may have triggered this) than harm others (which had obviously worse implications). Lastly, there is a major implication: The descent/embodiment of a deity itself can cause massive potentially malevolent influence for those along the same pathway, as mentioned by the red-gloved inquisitor. But what would a fully embodied version of a deity seen as the origin of the world itself do? With the pregnant woman in the previous episode likely the same woman who was involved in that dark ritual, the implications are that AT BEST everyone who is a Beyonder would be massively affected and at worst the world would be destroyed or turn upside down! Lastly, RIP Old Neil, the person I had most hoped to benefit from Klein's discovery realized he was 20 years too late V_V

I'm sorry, but this is funny. Luke didn't know THE CLOWN was of the Seer Pathway, which 8th Sequence is, just a coincidence, called CLOWN.

patros36

With each episode aired im getting more of a feeling that there are some crucial character development missing in the adaptation and thats whats missing to make this scene emotional like in the novel. I personally wasnt too attached to Neil, except last episode, he was just a funny old guy and one episode (really like half) isn't enough for me to get attached. Otherwise a great episode, beautiful ost and direction. Overall I feel the series would benefit if it slowed down and explored the characters a bit more. Except Klein, i don't know a single thing about any other character.

Martin Krogh Andersen

It's not very well explained during the anime, but the artifact peaceful hair strands don't completely remove a person's emotions, it's rather that they dampen emotions significantly and if the holder of the artifact is exposed to it for an extended period they will lose the will to let go of it, thereafter becoming a shell without emotions forever, whether they are holding the strands or not. Loving the reactions btw, this scene broke me both while reading the novel and whilst watching the series.

TheKnightwatchOfficial

Most people just seem to "go along with" their paths and wait to see what happens. Klein said "no, I'm going to be active, I'm going to do readings, I'm going to do divinations, I'm going to actively use my powers outside of work. " Thus he was able to digest his potion faster because he did the job of a seer and learned from it. Everyone else seems to not be using their powers in the same active way. Like I would assume someone in the Corpse Collector path would need to collect corpses, maybe go to morgues and use their powers there to help the dead. Someone on the Sleepless path would need to, I don't know, stay awake. Sailor pathway would need to drop everything and get out on the ocean and use their powers there. At least, that's what I'm assuming "acting" means. I am enjoying your reactions. Thank you for liking the series as much as I do!

RIP Old Neil.I can't say I'm surprised he died, he's had death flags waving for a while, especially after last ep. Despite that being the case, I really didn't expect they'd kill him off right after he lost his last remaining friend. I guess it does make sense that his emotional state would spiral out of control at that point, and in hindsight Hanged Man revealing the Org the Mystery Pryer comes from as evil also should have been a warning of what's coming. I guess that means the creature we saw behind him Ep 1, and behind him this ep was the Hidden Sage. I suppose that means that higher sequences can not only speak to you, but see through you / partially inhabit you? One of my first theories was that the point of the path is to change your body so you're suitable to become an avatar for your path's God, so I suppose it makes sense that the Hidden Sage could linger around even a Sequence 9 like that. I wonder if maybe Leonard's weird shadow is the same thing? I don't think it's the Evernight Goddess, it seems to communicate with Leonard in a way that he understands, but perhaps it's a link to some other high tier beyonder on the sleepless path? The whole Red Glove group in the Church is also very interesting. Really spooky vibe about them, and hearing that guy was Seq 5 but supposedly as strong as a Seq 4 is super interesting! I was surprised about their reaction to Klein sharing the acting method though. Last week I theorized the church hides the acting method in order to farm beyonders for resources, and this ep kind of backed that up. They didn't mention why they hide it, but this did confirm the church is intentionally suppressing the method. I just don't see why they'd hide it other than to use it as a method to control who is 'worthy' to advance, and who only has value as materials. Only part that kind of surprises me is how chill this guy was about Klein revealing this info. I kind of assumed he'd be viewed negatively for sharing it, but this guy seemed annoyed at best? Though I guess if they view Klein as a 'genius' then it makes sense they'd want to make sure he remains loyal and advancing as an asset of the Church. One thing I did notice though was that Oath required you to swear on your True Name, and our boy used the name Klein. I think it was just last ep in his monologue he was referring to himself as his Earth Name. So I'm pretty sure Klein isn't actually bound by the Oath. Obviously if he said his True Name there people would have been sus, so maybe he didn't do it intentionally, but I suspect he can still share the acting method if he wants to. Even in a situation where he is bound by the oath, I wonder if he could just talk about it while above the grey fog and the oath just wouldn't be able to apply there? Pretty sure he's just immune to the oath so that won't matter, but interesting to think about.

Kyle Garrett

One theory I have, that sounds insane even to me, is Klein is The Creator reborn. I wrote out my reasoning and thought process but it's like 3k words and way too long, so here's the short version. xD At the Assassin Path ep I had a theory that the point of the pathways is to make an Avatar for God. Like the Gods are trapped in their divine realm so they need bodies they can possess to come to the world. Stuff like the Doomsday baby is unstable, so even if it works, it'd only be temporary, while a Seq 1 i the perfect host. I assume that Azik is probably a high tier Sequence and the times he 'falls asleep' are moments a God is possessing his body, which is why we see the Flashes of Death in him a bunch before he 'moves on' from his family. Then last ep I thought about Spirituality and acquiring too much drives you insane. That led me to wonder why Klein doesn't lose control in the Grey Fog, since a Divine Realm should have insane levels of Spirituality. When I think about the fact he can use a three part name, and that the Grey Fog realm responds to his every wish and desire, it makes sense that it's linked to him and he is divine. In fact the realm is full of Grey Fog because Klein doesn't remember the realm so it doesn't remember itself. The only God we know has died is the Creator, so I'm assuming he is the Creator reborn. He could be the Seer God reborn too, but we have no info on that God at all, so I'm assuming he's the God we know died. I think the Angel of Pure White(APW) that got mentioned when he obtained the Sun Seq 4 is from the Seer Pathway, and it's the thing leaving feathers / whispering to him because it wants him to reclaim his Godhood. My assumption is that without the Creator being present, the world has been slowly dying and that's why magical events have been less and less common. So they're trying to force him back to restore the balance, even though God Klein clearly wanted to be mortal if they left Godhood behind. That would also mean the 'True Creator' is some fragment of the Old Klein, meaning he'll have to eventually beat it and reclaim it eventually. If he is The Creator, then perhaps he also can actually use the Seq 4 Sun Potion? Like perhaps he can use any and all potions, and is uniquely not bound to a single path? That could be cool, though that'd throw the power system into total disarray so probably not? Honestly I don't even know how the story would get to Klein being a God, or where it'd go from there, but that's my current crackpot theory.

Tim

I know this is the wrong place to ask but where do i go to recommend music to Luke?

TheOnlyChou

The Acting Method is essentially pretending you are your sequence without becoming lost in it. Klein, as a sequence 9 Seer, had to actively do Seer things and understand everything that comes with being a Seer in order to digest it and advance to sequence 8 Clown. As for the guy in the clown costume they fought, he was a higher sequence in the Seer pathway and also the one who told Klein that sequence 8 of the Seer pathway is called Clown. It's called the Seer pathway because Seer is the starting sequence. For example, Dunn and Leonard are on the Sleepless pathway but Dunn is sequence 7 Nightmare while Leonard is sequence 8 Midnight Poet.

HauntedHorses999s The Ultimate Show

Luke WHERE IS THE APOTHECARY DIARIES, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO UPLOADED ON FRIDAY, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THAT, AT LEAST AN UPDATE OR SOMETHING WHERE IS IT, WHERE'S THE FOIL LOL

Charbel Kassis

I’d just like to raise a question, in the episode with azik he kept saying kliens fate had changed and there was an invisible feather as he said it. Is someone changing his fate via the feather? Is this why in the previous episodes klien was going on about everything being “coincidental”?

Andreas K.

The little stone Klein saw in old neils house, was the same stone they found in the blackmarket, which the dealer advertised as "Roselles Wise but Secret words that grant good luck" was actually translated in mandarin something like "Idiot" but klein didnt tell anyone, so Neil still bought it because he thought it brings good luck.

MapleLeafSoup

Iirc he said he was moving it but I can’t remember if that was in a video or an announcement. Seeing your confusion I’m assuming it was in a video.

Noggen

no its explicitly NOT becoming your sequence, its pretending to become your sequence. becoming your sequence means that youll lose control, and not doing anything means that youll advance slowly, so you have to pretend to become your sequence so as to digest the potion while not losing control

TheOnlyChou

Right. I forgot about that part

Noggen

we kinda knew that the clown was at least sequence 7. dunn or whoever straight up says as much during the fight, otherwise how could he be fighting off multiple sequence 8s and a sequence 7 at the same time and come out on top. (also the clown says that he was once a seer and can give him the name for sequence 8. also also he was a part of the organization said to have the formulas for the seer pathway)

Zer0

I swear to you on my spirituality and in my real name. real name? 🤔

patros36

Well it wasnt in the schedule he posts every week so...

I3ladeDragon

Most of the reactors who dropped it, did so because they felt confused and/or overwhelmed by having their comment sections trying to explain everything. This anime requires alot of attention, and those who can't focus due to trying to be entertaining have a harder time than you are.

Frentzy

Did some research on neil's pathway: ( Hermit Pathway mystery pryer ). Why did he fail to digest his potion?. Posting my findings: He failed to digest his potion because: • He didn’t act his role properly. The acting method is the only safe way to digest potions. Neil was more of a ritual performer than a disciplined “occult researcher.” He liked dabbling in rites and summoning, but he didn’t embody the careful, knowledge-seeking mindset of a true Mystery Pryer. • He relied too heavily on rituals and mysticism. Mystery Pryers are meant to study and cautiously pry into the unknown, not recklessly perform dangerous ceremonies (ep 2 , he did an explosion in his lab). Neil preferred ritualistic operations and didn’t build the knowledge-focused persona needed to stabilize the potion. • He was an older Beyonder. With age his spirituality weakened, and his willpower was not strong enough to bear the burden of a potion that demanded constant disciplined acting and study. That made it harder to resist corruption. • He dragged out digestion for too long. Without proper “acting,” the potion remains unsettled. Neil lingered at Sequence 9 for years, never truly digesting, so the hidden dangers accumulated until he lost control.

Frentzy

"People fill the comment section with information". Idk other people's reasons. I don't do it to inform luke but I do it for the rest. I am sure others will READ and see the extra informations (such as why neil failed to digest his potion). That in itself give more info to the acting method which some might get confused about it as well.

juan cao

Regarding the pathways, every church/organisation knows the recipes of one or more pathways. When Klein joined the nighthawks, the Evernight Goddess church knew/had access to 4 pathways: The Sleeples pathway (which they have the recipes of the whole pathway), the Corpse Collecter (which they know the recipes to up to sequence 7) and the Mystery Prier and Seer pathways (from which they only knew the sequence 9 potion). The Seer pathway was originally controlled by the Antigonus family, and Klein got the recipe for sequence 8 from the mind of Arapis (who got it from the Antigonus family notebook). Klein knew the Clown recipe was the 8th sequence of the Seer pathway because the Clown they fought told him (and he was at least sequence 7 in that pathway). Since they only got the recipe from the Antigonus family notebook, that means that Klein is the onlySequence 8 in the Seer pathway in the NIghthawks. That doesn't mean he is the only one in the world, as other organizations may know the recipe.

Skebaba

AFAIK it also depends on who is at the top of the totem pole of you Pathway too, as a variable. As we know, the Hidden Sage is pretty much at the top of the totem pole atm

Skebaba

Sailor Pathway is izi mode, all you need is to beat w*men & go on a booze rage 😂

Chromic Reads

The principles of the acting method are, to my understanding and having read the novel: Act according to the potion’s name, but do not forget that you are acting. Klein mentioned it is similar to the mystery pryer’s maxim because “do as you wish but do no harm” which, if you know the acting method it will be quite easy to infer what is meant. The acting method is just that, a method. But it is the most surefire way to digest a potion. You must “become” it, to assimilate it. But at the core you mustn’t forget who you are. And that you are just an actor. Else you risk losing control at higher sequences. Another thing you might have missed in this episode is the law of beyonder characteristics. Those ravings klein hears, to any beyonder, tend to come from higher sequence beyonders, that is why one musn’t listen to the ravings because some pathways are connected to evil gods and sometimes they can communicate to you so you can lose control. An example is the aurora order. The highest sequence.. is connected to the true creator, so the aurora order can hear the true creator’s voice. Similar to how in the sleepless pathway, they most likely hear ravings from evernight or how in the mystery pryer old neil loses control because he listened to the hidden sage. But saying anymore than this would be spoilers so I’ll stop right there and hope i explained it well 😅

Lyndai

And I thought I cried bad reading this scene in the novel.....but man seeing it animated with music is 100x worse, and get me everytime I see it....I've rewatched it 4 times and balled my eyes out everytime.

SouldeLuna

I expected a party but not a party of onion cutting ninjas :'( I absolutely love this sad scene. Most of the time whenever we see Anime characters cry they have a very loud and strong emotional moment. In LoM though we get a solemn scene with whispering and sniffling. We also hear Dunn breathing out his sadness which is very fitting and a really good way to show him handling the situation in a way befitting his leading position.

Shiraori

This is how Klein explains the acting method to the Tarot club in the Novel. "Imagine the core powers of your potion as a tightly guarded castle. The remnants of the psyche that can cause a backlash to reside within that castle. Our goal is to get rid of it and become the true master of the castle. There are two ways we can do that. The first is to forcefully invade the castle. There is no guarantee that this will work, and you will most definitely injure yourself unless you can suppress it with absolute power. But of course, we are not equipped to do that. The second way is to get the owner of the castle to extend an invitation. This invitation can allow us to slide through the scrutiny of the guards and infiltrate the castle. We can then easily finish off the enemies. But the problem lies in the fact that this invitation specifies the facial features and characteristics of the guest. Thus, we have to disguise ourselves and act as a guest."

patros36

Bro said "Ascetic" but couldnt say "Asceticism" xD

rostikowb

Luke, it's easy because you already know about it. There are many simple things that scientists have discovered over hundreds of years or have not yet discovered. Washing your hands with soap to be healthier — for thousands of years, people lived without this simple knowledge. Reading something and “realizing” it are different things, and Buddhist teachings also come into play here.

rostikowb

Of course we like your reaction, otherwise we wouldn't be watching it lol

SHDW Replayz

I'm new to this world as well but not sure why you're confused on the acting method Luke they explained it multiple times so basically if the sequence you're on is called water drinker the more you drink water the faster you're potion gets digested and if you don't drink water at all then it will be really slow so basically the acting method is just a way to get stronger faster .

Thanny

The tastes of children are largely fixated on sweetness, while the tastes of adults migrate towards more complex flavors. It's not weird to point that well-known fact out.

Thanny

The clown was on the Seer Pathway, but was not a Seer. That's the title of the Sequence 9 potion. The Sequence 8 title is Clown. While dressed like a clown, he was actually Sequence 7, which has some other title besides Seer and Clown (not revealed in the show, but presumably revealed by now in the source material, which I haven't read). That's why the clown said he used to be a Seer, and revealed the name of the Sequence 8 potion in his attempt to bribe Klein into giving him the notebook.

syaimaral

Seeing as the recipe calls for fresh blood, maybe that's why he became a mass of flesh. Plus the episode before Klein visited Neil's house and saw nothing wrong. I do have a theory about the church hiding the acting way. Maybe everyone eventually loses control. They are keeping beyonders at low levels because they are easier to dispose off then a high level beyonder out of control. Maybe the previous epoch god wars is actually a war between high level beyonders with god level powers. The fall of the empire is because you can't have a functioning society where everyone is aware of the acting method and committing crimes and violence to further their ascension is the norm. Like assume one sequence is called assassin or serial killer. The acting method would incentivize you to go around killing people.
