Episode 7 of To Your Eternity Season 3, titled “Episode 7,” premiered on November 15, 2025, delivering a peculiar and disturbing installment that has left fans contemplating the direction of Fushi’s modern-era challenges. The episode aired in Japan at 11:45 PM JST and was simulcast globally on Crunchyroll, with English subtitles and a same-day English dub available shortly after.
Episode 7 Recap: Hirotoshi’s Unsettling Reality and a Hidden Nokker
This pivotal seventh episode notably shifted focus away from the immortal protagonist, Fushi, to delve into the unsettling life of a young man named Hirotoshi. Hirotoshi is introduced as an unemployed individual who spends much of his time gaming and isolating himself in his room. His mundane, yet problematic, existence is disrupted when his father remarries, bringing a new wife and a young stepdaughter named Mimori into their home.
The episode explores Hirotoshi’s disturbing obsession with Mimori, characterized by a “loli-con” inclination, which creates uncomfortable viewing moments despite his outward attempts to appear protective. He is the only one to notice Mimori’s withdrawn behavior and lack of smiles, leading him to try and help her. The tension escalates dramatically with the revelation that Mimori is, in fact, a Nokker that infiltrated her body approximately a year prior. The episode concludes with a significant cliffhanger, leaving viewers to ponder whether Mimori’s fall was accidental, self-inflicted, or orchestrated by the Nokker within her.
The Expanding Narrative and Fushi’s Evolving Mission
While Episode 7 took a tangential path through Hirotoshi’s story, it sets the stage for a darker and more unpredictable arc in the series. Fushi, having awakened in a new era after a thousand-year slumber, now faces a fresh wave of Nokkers in a modern setting. His mission continues as he seeks to understand the true goals of his creator, the Beholder, and grapples with the ethical complexities of his interactions with humanity.
The preceding Episode 6 concluded with an ambush by a plant-creature resembling the Nameless Boy, prompting the Beholder to inform Fushi about an enemy aiming to steal his memories. This threat of memory loss and identity theft is expected to be a central theme in the episodes following Episode 7, forcing Fushi to recover what was taken and confront new challenges.
