Heavenly Delusion’s Latest Episode Is Incredibly Hard to Watch
After being called hiruko and being tasked to start a test, the kids in the Heaven facility face a sudden attack that causes the school to be badly damaged.
The latest Heavenly Delusion episode did not explain what happened yet, and it’ll be interesting to see what will happen to these kids. But what it did show was that some of them have discovered the outside world.
Specifically, Mimihime and three other kids discovered the outside of the facility, indicating that they might leave soon.
Elsewhere, Kiruko and Maru have reached a prosperous new town that’s built near where the facility used to stand. Soon, Kiruko reunites with Robin and explains what happened.
Specifically, Kiruko mentioned that they might be in Kiriko’s body, but their mind is actually Haruki's. Robin believes Kiruko, and things seem to be good.
Then the episode takes a dark turn as Robin restrains Kiruko and proceeds to rape them in a scene that’s incredibly disturbing and needs a trigger warning.

Despite how tough the episode was to watch, some fans still praised how it was directed and animated.
