Her attacks are deadly and precise, using her headstrips to impale opponents.
96
Will Be Good Will Be Good is the proxy in charge of Smile Land.
97
He first appears in a dream experienced by Pino where he warns about the trouble
98
that will come if Vincent Law arrives in Smile Land.
99
Unlike many other proxies, Will Be Good seems reluctant to fight and shows a friendly, almost cheerful personality.
100
Despite this, he clearly fears death and is anxious about his own survival.
101
Smile Land, the city he oversees, is unique compared to other domes.
102
It has a cartoonish, almost theme park-like atmosphere, which is why many fans think Will Be Good is inspired by Walt Disney and his Disneyland.
103
This connection fits with the playful, whimsical vibe of Smile Land and its inhabitants, who are mostly Otto Reeves.
104
Will Be Good is important because he is the first proxy to explain that when two proxies meet, they must fight each other.
105
This rule becomes a big deal later in the series during the Pulse of Awakening, which causes proxies to become more active and aware.
106
Will Be Good's warning sets the stage for the conflicts that happen when proxies cross paths.
107
Swan Swan is one of the mysterious proxies.
108
She appears mostly in Vincent Law's dreams, but her true motives are unclear throughout the series.
109
Many fans and clues in the show suggest that Swan might actually be a form of Monad proxy, either consciously or subconsciously influencing Vincent.
110
This idea is supported by Cascus Proxy's revelation that he and Monad were lovers, and by Vincent's own emotional reactions when he sees Monad in a comatose state state.
111
Swan's behavior, especially her jealousy and irritated tone when talking to Vincent, hints at a deep emotional connection, which fits with the idea that she could be linked to Monad.
112
If Swan is Monad or connected to her, it raises questions about how she can access Vincent's conscious and subconscious mind.
113
The show hints that some proxies have the power to influence others' minds, like Will Be Good did with Pino, or Cenex proxies control over a woman in a prison cell.
114
So, Swan's presence in Vincent's dreams might be a form of mental
115
or or spiritual influence that Proxies can exert over each other.
116
Another theory is that Swan is actually an extension of Proxy 1's manipulation.
117
Proxy 1 hates Monad because she took away his instrument of death, ergo proxy.
118
Since Vincent's memories were taken by Monad to protect him, Proxy 1 can't use him as a weapon anymore.
119
To get revenge, Proxy 1 torments Vincent in different ways, and Swan might be one of those ways.
120
She could be trying to break Vincent's connection with Riel Mayer, who represents his desire to become human, since Riel is a human clone linked to Monad.
121
By doing this, Swan would be pushing Vincent back toward his role as Ergo Proxy, which Proxy 1 wants.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
