The Snark guy seems to think that the Snark in what he calls “the world of abstraction” is the real him and the human form is just a hologram. His background is in theoretical physics, so he talked about things from that perspective. This show is quite a science lesson :)

Oh, I entirely forgot about the same gestures. I think “sore, sore” can be best translated as “there, there”. Oh, and an URI is basically the same as a web-address, so if you’ve got a homepage, you can insert the link to that homepage there.

? I picked it up and thought it was obvious, b/c Snark-guy and Taro kept randomly almost recognizing each other, then Taro looked at him and said ‘Snark.’ Or ‘Sunaku,’ or however they pronounce it. Then when they were talking, the voice was exactly the same, and he even said ‘Ja, sore sore sore’ and made similar gestures. (What does ’sore’ mean, anyway? And what the heck is a URI?)

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I did pick up the guy mentioning a Snark, but I wasn’t sure whether he was talking about himself or something else. It’s indeed the last place you’d expect for the Snark-references to return.

Spoilers.
So glasses-dude really is her new husband? Okay, I couldn’t figure out what he was to her.
However, did you catch that glasses-dude is Snark? That was one of the most interesting parts of the episode to me. And what about what he and Taro were discussing? They talked about Kumada, and I think why Snark went there, Kakuriyo, and after Snark mentioned his alias again, he said something about a ‘hologram.’
And when those gross things were mindraping Masayuki, he saw green code flashing in them, just like the text in ep.14. I think teal-hair dude somehow programmed those spirits as security guards or whatever. Michio doesn’t seem to have actually done any ’saving’ yet, though. Looked to me like he had ghostly motion sickness or something.
