| "My main course... it got cold." 5/5 |
 |
| Can't believe that guy actually pissed himself lol Didn't expect Johan to have a split personality |
 |
| Hah! So Lunge wasn't so far off. Split personality for Johan though not Tenma. |
| The anime keeps getting better and better *-* Glad they were able to stop the fire. That stupid Heckel and his rug though :P Also, the fact that Johan has 2 personalities is frigging awesome. Can't wait to see what happens next! p.s: loved the soundtrack when Nina was chasing Tenma's boat |
 |
| Monster has been excellent so far.. but I'm not su sure about the double personality.. now surely Johan can be developed more as a character, but a serial killer with double personality is not so original to my mind.. |
 |
| The Baby needs diapers. So Johan has a split personality, that's interesting to know. |
 |
| Shit! Multiple personality disorder? Damn! I wonder what caused the monster in him to grow. And that message in the end. I'm seriously terrified. |
| Overall the arc was pretty enjoyable and it revealed some interesting things, however i feel the plot in this arc went a bit downhill, it was predictable, and for a thriller i dont like it when its predictable. Good episodes. |
| as usual, Naruto saves the day. |
| Johann isn't one person. Johann is two. damn crafty I didn't see that one coming |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Now this monster thing got interesting Johan got two personalities that's very interesting nothings going to get changed well Dr tenma that it's gonna be a hard shot when you try to kill Johan good luck pal |
| Lunge was right that the killer has Double personalitys but wrong on who the killer is |
 |
| Dieter is making clutch plays. First with the alcohol, not even flinching then stopping the fire. Usually kids are annoying af in shows but Dieter is cool. Was expecting a bit more from Johan than having some split-personality disorder but it doesn't hurt too much. |
| Split personality... I wonder if Johan can be saved... of course I’m not talking about forgiving him, he needs to be in jail or a mental institution assuming he wants that considering that the good part wants the other part dead... the question is now that Tenma knows this will he be able to pull the trigger like he planned to do (considering he was thinking Johan was pure evil)? I want to know what was the case for his split personality. |

| "She was killed because she tried to warn you all about this" Wait what? How's that possible exactly? The one that talked to Ayse was Anna/Nina, and she left before meeting Tenma or the friend So, how? Baby, I see why that's his name xD Good job figuring it out after Anna/Nina just literally said it |
"Signature removed"   |
| does anyone know when it was revealed that johan askd anna to shoot him in the head? |
 |
| So Johan is like Tyler Durden... |

| And still, Bill will live on. He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god. And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living, until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from. He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out. |
| I was relieved when they managed to stop the fire from spreading. Johan has two personalities! Wow I couldn't see that coming. |
| Thank god Heckel stole that carpet(And also gave the location) and Dieter is fast. Otherwise everything would have got bad pretty quick. Also Tenma did a nice job of saving people from the fire. I don't believe Johan is bipolar. Johan is Johan. He has no disorders. Reason why he said this probably has to do with reconciling with his sister. And the whole story is going in a nice direction. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| rug was hella plot convenience is dr tenma actually johan? |
| Heckels greed saved the day. The split personality is not really a surprising twist, but it explains why Johan would be interested in Anna killing him. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| From the title I thought Johan will appear. I wonder when he will have screentime. |
| This is gonna get a whole lot more complicated for Tenma and Nina once they meet up with the good side of Johan. |
  |
| Man, everytime I think I know the direction this show is going to go for a little while, it keeps subverting my expectations. I was expecting a pseudo-SoL for a few episodes as Tenma builds his character and improves his environment, but this is working out for me too. Johan having DID is an interesting twist for sure. Lunge's on the right track but with the wrong person, lol. |

| Still waiting for Johan to actually show up and interact with the main cast instead of just being talked about. Like someone else before said, the split personality thing takes away from the impact and accountability of his actions and turns Johan more into a "tortured soul" than a true monster like he's being described. It would've been more refreshing to have him be a regular sociopath instead, too bad it doesn't seem to be going that way. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, they go and introduce that "Baby" character. Looks like a racial caricature and is absolutely cringeworthy in everything he does. |
| Nina is not frightening, The Baby was just being a baby. Still not sure whether Johan had 2 personality or not. It's just Anna's assumption, anyway. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Alright! The town is saved! Not only that, but Dieter and Heckel are too! Haha, I finally know what his name is and it sounds like the word heckle which probably isn't a coincidence since he's a petty thief/gangster. Mayne, even in fiction, white supremacy is brainless and heartless. I remember learning 'bout Nogi Maresuke (on my own free time of course). He was a general during the Meji period of Japan. He also served as governor of Taiwan (it was occupied by Japan at the time). He's also known for committing suicide with his wife by 切腹 (seppuku). Wait a tick, Johan has two personalities? What does this mean for future episodes? It's been awhile since I've used German in anything and have forgotten a good chunk of it, but I'm kind of happy with myself that I was able to understand the message at the end |
| Johan’s dissociative identity disorder were just Ana’s assumption right? Oh well if that’s true, I’m hoping they will have a good backstory about this and hope they can pull this off because DID is such a complex psychological condition. |
| wow, those kind of ending leaves me speechless. you just saved you million heckle. you! |
| Great end to the whole burning plan. Big baby actually had an accident in his pants like a true baby. Heckler losing his rug to fire was just seen coming from miles away but still managed to be s fun thing. Of course its interesting that this is only 17/74 episodes, it feels like we know so many things about Johan and other things that the show is already 2/3 done but I guess we are about to have a very interesting ride ahead, |
| Lol at first I thought Anna meant there were two physical Johans. Like they were triplets somehow lmao. Glad that was cleared up, that sounds like a Pretty Little Liars level plot twist |
 |
| So he has a split personality? And let me guess they are both evil. |
 |
| so it is clear that Johan has a DID. pretty shocked actually. I really hate Heckel ffs Glad Nina and Tenma met again. |

| The baby guy is almost as annoying as eva. I'm glad his plan was foiled + that johan reveal was crazy |
 |
| Johan has split personalities?! I would’ve never guessed that |
| Mmm... This episode clearly implies that Johan has a split personality, but I have a feeling this is more complicated than that. I think that what makes it look like there are two Johan is that Johan himself is a particularly complex being, so complex he cannot even understand himself. I know I'm not making much sense right now but I'll try to explain what I mean. It has been implied many times that Johan, for how much of a "monster" he is, is also someone who deeply suffers, someone who is incredibly lonely, someone who wants to stop all this killing, and someone who loves his sister more than anything in the world. While I don't believe that he has a split personality, Johan has a personality disorder, that's obvious, and he probably developed it because of how horrible his childhood has been (this is something that unfortunately happens very often in real life after all). We can argue that Anna didn't develop any personality disorder despite having been through the same kind of hell, but firstly, it has been implied Johan has been her protector this whole time (whereas no one was there to protect him), and secondly, it has also been implied that he is a particularly smart person, a genius. So has a child, he was clearly precocious. If you put a precocious child in such a situation, I can definitely believe that this will have a very deep impact on him, due to him being able to think about what is happening to him. This can also be the beginning of his loneliness, he realized what was going on but was alone in that since kids his age and younger normally cannot fully comprehend what is happening to them. And him being a precocious child, consequently being different, implies he's always had a very particular outlook on the world, and a just as particular way to interact with people. It is easy to see how, if you combine that with the hell he's been through, he's very quickly become a complete introvert who barely, if at all, gets attached to people, except for his sister Anna, his only family, his everything (that scene in episode 1 (or 2, I don't remember) where we can see his reaction to having gotten to see Anna at the hospital is already insanely powerful, but even more so when you think about it that way). And so, what does Johan mean by "The monster inside me is about to explode" ? Why does it make it sound like there are two people in him if he doesn't have a split personality ? Well, let's summarize what I just said. Johan has always been someone different. Initially not evil, but different, way smarter than children his age, interested in different things, with a different view of the world he lives in. Johan is also someone who's been through so much, so much that even an adult wouldn't be able to endure. And while going through all this, Johan is someone who's never had anyone to rely on. As Anna said, Johan is full of grief. So much grief. And how can we expect someone like him to react to so much pain ? He breaks. A mixture of pain and rage is created, he wants to avenge himself and his sister from everything they've been through, his traumatized mind is forever broken and this psychopathic killing is the only way for him to appease some of his soul. Let's not forget one very important scene that, I believe, goes against the split personality theory. It is that scene where we got to meet him for the first (and so far last) time after the timeskip. If we want to go with the split personality theory, then it is obvious that at this moment, he was his psychopathic self, the "monster". Yet, while being in that mode, he basically told Tenma he shouldn't have saved him, that he didn't want to be saved. And as Anna understood, why did he want her to shoot him back then ? Because he wants for the monster inside him to disappear. He is broken, and he knows that. The fact that he told Tenma he didn't want to be saved while still having his "psychopath with an angelic smile" attitude is enough to see there aren't two Johan in the proper sense of the world, but that he is fighting against his own demons, and said demons are winning. This also explains why he is so obsessed with Anna (other than because he loves her as his sister) : because she is the only person still able to bring back some of his humanity. He needs her. Without her, he is nothing. Just a monster. (Welp, that was a long analysis. But that's a sign that Monster is a fascinating show. I love it. But I hope I'm not too far from the truth or else I'm gonna feel very stupid (to those who already know, please don't say anything, I want to discover it by myself). |

| rip heckel's one million and damnn johan has 2 personalities, great |
| Heckel you piece of shit for not trying to save the Turkish district, not even bothering until asked multiple times to explain what the main fire place could be and the one moment he could redeem himself by using his stolen rug to stop the fire he just stands there. Seems like Lunge was partially right on splitpersonality involved only instead of Tenma its Johan |
 |
| So Johan has split personalities? Now I understand why he was extending his hand to Anna while crying when he saw her after the operation. I suppose it was his "good" personality surfacing at that moment. |
