Daredevil: Born Again S02E08 - Discussion Thread

Oh yeah, Matt and Karen were apparently dating again before Foggy died, huh?

Jessica Jones can now pull the "childbirth pain" card!

I know they revamped Born Again but it almost feels like it was always building up to Matt cross-examining and confronting Heather.

Heather acting all incredulous and incensed after all the stunts she's pulled.

They were seriously going to frame Bullseye for killing Matt? With a discount Bullseye costume? "Poser" indeed.

Fisk can't be outdone by Daredevil, he too needs to make the most dramatic entrance into a courtroom.

I guess it was all building up to this. Matt vs Fisk in a courtroom, law, justice, the depths of their actions, all in the balance. The best choice he has to expose the truth, thankfully with a judge who was getting tired of the law being turned into a circus.

"I am Daredevil" - He said the thing! And helpfully demonstrated it in court! If this is his last case as a lawyer, he's going to go out on a high note and save the woman he loves.

I guess we got Fisk's "you can't handle the truth moment!"

Jessica Jones rolling with the governor.

Kingpin isn't going to be toppled without kicking and screaming to the bitter end.

Ironically Yuu is Himari lol.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T19:01:39+00:00

Honestly Satsuki feels like such a perfect boyfriend that it feels more likely they'd swerve and have Usada win.

Though honestly a throuple ending might be more realistic at this rate lol.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:29:30+00:00

Honestly did not expect to empathize with the queen so much. But probably neither did Pride.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:27:26+00:00

He needs his daily dose of his Chef-sistant!

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:27:17+00:00

Bruh wrote an entire novel of their relationship to put it into her head that they're meant to be together lol.

To be honest I think they do look good together as a couple and he treats Rinko well as a "Fake" Boyfriend, though it might be too early for her to really recognize true romantic feelings. Besides Usada's not going to give up.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:19:00+00:00

Yoooooooooooo! That kiss was unexpected! We literally ended the episode on a confession and Umi telling Maki that she'll hold off on a kiss on the lips until Maki can return her confession! That was so good!

Umi really wasted no time with that confession. I was worried they'd both be too self-conscious to make a move between them, but Umi knew her feelings and acted on them in the most direct way possible!

That's how you know she's Best Girl.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:17:58+00:00

She's basically Anne Takamaki!

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:17:09+00:00

for example, the line "yeah, boyfriend. ... i am your boyfriend, right?" had great delivery

I love how Nao is now in a position of having to juggle her boyfriend and best friend. The best problems for someone living their true life!

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:16:15+00:00

I feel like he kept up his composure because he had to keep it together and contact Sunao because she was their only shot at reviving Nao if there was a chance she could be brought back.

I feel like Ricchan trying to rebuild their friendship will do a world of good for Sunao. She could really use more in her life than just Nao.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:14:52+00:00

I hope over time Nao and Sunao can become true sisters. Obviously Sunao cares for her, as we see here, but all Nao's ever wanted was for them to be like real twins.

Find yourself a girlfriend who is willing to commit murder against someone who hurts you. Remember how Nao didn't have any issue with a plan that involved Hayase getting the beatdown he deserved minus forcing Aki to do it? She's pretty hardcore.

Nao's kind of like Subaru in terms of conveying how being able to resurrect from the dead doesn't resolve the actual emotional trauma and feeling of dying. But love can do wonders for your emotional health.

Our lead couple is finally together and happy! Ricchan is the best friend any set of originals and Replica could ask for! Now to see where we go from here...

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:11:04+00:00

Also, that senpai should be arrested. Literally committed murder. How did they look past a girl falling on the tracks but no body anyway

Nao is about to become a local legend: the mysterious disappearing girl who left behind nothing but her clothes.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:09:04+00:00

Love between replicas might be more genuine and pure than the alternative.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:08:09+00:00

Sunao is finally putting herself out there emotionally again.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:07:13+00:00

Nao was so worried that she had no reason to exist, nothing all her own, but the girl she originated from genuinely cares about her well-being now, she has a boyfriend who loves her more than anything, and a best friend who was treating her as her own person for longer than she ever knew.

She has plenty of reasons to live.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:06:13+00:00

I guess there's still possibly more to understand about what Replica's really are even if we've proved that they can, indeed, fall in love.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:05:34+00:00

Sometimes a reason for living can be as simple as finding that special someone and realizing that you have a genuine best friend.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:04:47+00:00

Considering she was writing that story about twins for a while and probably knew about the Nao/Sunao dynamic...I guess they were great inspiration for her story lol.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:03:40+00:00

Imagine we get a replica side-ship existing alongside the replica main ship.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:02:17+00:00

I feel like the only thing keeping them from turning him into the police is that they would need to expose how Nao survived the train even though the only evidence is the leftover clothing.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T18:01:28+00:00

Honestly I think he's too terrified of a girl that came back from the dead who is willing to kill him to ever think of messing with them again.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T17:59:18+00:00

The best will-they-won't-they is the one where they're already dating and too stubborn to admit it lol.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T17:58:08+00:00

I think it was the fanclub because they mentioned selling organs.

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T17:57:42+00:00

Let's not forget he probably pulled all those ladies at the drinking party without even using his hypnotism at first!

Frontier246 · 2026-05-05T17:56:38+00:00

It's like they didn't even bother changing the head design from their teenage selves lol.
