----------------------------------------
Wow, I didn't think Kei would be this aggressive but the episode surprised me somewhat with his actions.

Tosaki's role in this episode is interesting as he digs deeper into the Ajin mystery. What I'm more curious to see is Satou's next move.

Seems like that Kou teamed up with Kei... or that's what I thought! Kei's really an asshole at times. Lol, Kei's IBM really doesn't give a shit about him XD. Kei jumping off that rock, breaking that stick in half to use its sharp ends to stab Kou and then him stabbing himself was badass as hell! I wonder what Tosaki does from here on.

It's slightly regrettable that they not showed these scene:
After Kei imprisoned Kou:

Have slightly eerie feeling, don't you?
And this:

So what?
P.S. BTW, they make Kou smarter, than he is in a manga. After he got poisoned, he struck himself.

Our MC(?) is extremely evil. His education was flawed.

The so called Ajin team is too ragtag and is too small for its importance.

Of course he's gonna get rid of him when he come and disturb his peace and wants to wage war against Satoru.
Kei was actually being really nice, he could've "killed"/reset Nakano by taking off his head and he didn't use his IBM to best him, he also talked about bringing him a magazine and such to keep him alive, when he could've just left him there and ended his "existence"
As for why Nakano doesn't use his IBM, there's a very good reason to that will be explained later on.
Oogura actually gets 2 of his fingers cut off in the manga, yay for censorship.

Kei was great in this episode. Looks like a simple team up isn't going to be as simple as most people thought. I felt bad for Nakano in this episode. Although it could've been worse.

Oogura is so annoying to watch. I can see why so few people would take him seriously.

Nagai's IBM going straight for the kill. Seems like he cannot fully control it yet.
Nakano wanting help to stop Satou.
Nagai going so far to ensure that he can stay safe.
Poisoning the food and then drowning Nakano.
Now he is trapped in a truck.
Satou not messing around. That is a lot of explosives.

Comments are great.
Kei is still great with his logicality, I can see myself in Kou's postion, but Satou puts his victims to hell
American scientist was the man :D

Also I really like the little details they add for the anime, for instance the stick Kei put in the ground with a drawn line is actually a easy sundial, so he can keep track of the time when the poison take effect. If I remember correctly, this wasn't in the manga.

Like you can see Polygon is putting a lot of effort into Ajin. Great episode as always.

Oooh, although I did notice that Kei drew a line with a stick and then stuck the stick to the ground, I didn't realize that he made a sundial. That's pretty cool. I agree that Polygon is doing a great job so far :) But yeah, they did also omit a few scenes. Still, the adaptation so far has exceeded my expectations in terms of pacing and faithfulness to the manga.

Kei is savage as fuck. You don't want to screw with him.

Ajin's fight is quite interesting, dying is actually a good thing for them since it reset any damage their body receive so they can be really reckless and to beat them you'd have to incapacitate them anyway you can while being careful enough not to accidentally kill them.

I think that's the point. Everyone's got at least a bit of an a**hole inside them (except Kai). It's quite realistic actually.

Ah, finally. This is much more like the Nagai Kei that made the beginning so interesting. Understandable stance of him even if he does more or less the same as Satou with the other guys now.

At this point I'm really wondering about Kai and Kei's sister though. Were they really just plot tools? At least let Kai be a bit more than just that D:

And what was up with those cigarettes of the scientist? Did he mix in drugs or why was he so dependent on them? I mean it gave him an easy way to fuck with his kidnapper (and lets be honest. It was hilarious when he responded that he needs only 2 fingers for smoking and then changing it to 3 xD ) but there has to be more to it.

Kei is so fugkin hardcore, just like he is in the manga.

That FK scene is pure awesomeness, so brutal, so addicted that swagster scientist is.

Need some legitimate battle scenes(esp. Sato's) so that I can hear the soultrembling BGM again <3
You will soon learn that a heart that choose to exist, even in a life filled with pain, will one day allow us to meet again.
With the world's blessings, we will meet again and again, forever returning to the homeworld we've yet to see.

Idiot people, yeah torture someone who just ask for some FK cigarettes that he even told you where to find but no torture is cooler, reliable in real life, and gory.
The only character I like so far is the villain and the FK guy. This just 13 eps right but nothing much is happening for me. At least not much to entertain me.

Kou is naive But Kei is doing the right thing...NOT to get involved.
But LOL Kou is really underhanded on that fight! and Kei really knows how to deal with an Ajin of his age not to instantly die in which he could effectively use to fully incapacitate the target! Good plan by Kei. but I doubt those two would not get involved! Kou would definitely find a way!
Satou's plan is still continuing!
Tosaki's really in to torture! at least the man would now talk all about Ajin! He is an important asset.
5/5!
