Note: This story contains spoilers from “The Sympathizer” Episode 6.
In Sunday’s episode of “The Sympathizer,” the Captain (Hoa Xuande) murders his nemesis Sonny (Alan Trong) in his apartment, following the General’s (Toan Le) orders after concerns surfaced about his reporting on their covert mission.
But the decision is fueled by more than just the directive, after The Captain learned that his girlfriend Sofia Mori (Sandra Oh) had been having an affair with Sonny while he was away, working as a Vietnamese interpreter on Nikos’ (Robert Downey Jr.) movie.
“We have a rivalry that’s obviously spanned through our childhood because we have very similar backstories. The Captain and Sonny had American education before they split ways, so they see their causes for the Vietnamese people very similarly, but they obviously act upon it in very different ways,” Xuande told TheWrap. “I can only speak on behalf of the...

As fans will know, Heavenly Delusion is a very peculiar manga and anime series. We have reported earlier that the anime was listed as the best anime of 2023 and it won big at the Trending Awards this year. The original manga was written by Masakazu Ishiguro and has been ongoing since 2018, with 10 volumes published as of the time of writing. The anime adaptation premiered in 2023, and while we still don’t have an official confirmation, a second season is very likely, although it might be some time before we see it, since Ishiguro has to write more chapters for the studio to be able to produce a proper season.
The anime was extremely popular and praised by both fans and critics, so there is absolutely no doubt that the series will receive a second season, although we have to wait and see when it is going to premiere.

The second episode of Netflix’s Japanese fantasy series Seven Orifices is out, and Ozawa’s followers are continuing the tradition of narrating their lives before entering the orifice. The beginning of this episode tells us that the sheep were the first living creatures to enter the orifices. However, the first human to enter the orifice was a live streamer and illustrator. When the orifices appeared all over Japan, he thought about trying his luck at fame and recognition by venturing into one of the orifices. I can’t say he was well prepared, as taking garlic and a cross are in no way the best choices of weapon when you’re walking into a gigantic dark void which nobody’s ever been to. This episode introduces us to Sugaya, who is scheduled to enter the orifice next.
Spoilers Ahead
Who is Sugaya?
Sugaya lives in Mr. Ozawa’s lodge with his other followers.
