At about 9:30-9:40 he says "Dqns are targetting me now". What are Dqns?
When the Giga-Lo-Maniacs are holding their Di-Swords, are they just delusions? and once they "real-boot" them, that's when they can use them to fight. As delusions, Takumi can still see them i think. They can also use the di-sword to real-boot other things around them; which, Takumi can do without a di-sword. Is this how it works?
I re-watched parts of episode 7, and I guess time didn't freeze. It just looks funny when Kozupii is slashing at those people while they're just standing there.
In the VN, he often calls people delinquents. That's most likely what Dark Rebirth (FAIL) meant by "dqns."
Yes, the anime makes them transparent-like, even though they aren't supposed to be. The anime does that to let you know they are in delusion form. When a delusion is real-booted, it's reality. It truly exists and everyone can see it, feel it, w/e. Giga-lo-maniacs can see delusions even before they've been real-booted, so yes.
Di-Swords are simply a shortcut for Giga-lo-maniacs to real-boot or create "errors" as Sena calls them; a method to achieve that -1. Takumi's powers are much greater than that, and you'll find out why later (assuming you haven't been reading all of our delicious spoilers).
