| How is it hard to comprehend why he was killing them? He was doing it to verify his ability to feel emotions. Hardly something beyond human comprehension. ---- Quite literally, he is the opposite of the old man. The old man was worried about losing his feelings as a human, and found that he can still feel them when saving lives. The young kid also has the same concern, and only feels it a bit when he kills or traumatizes people. |

| So far I don't get the vibe that Hiro is really evil. He's not evil in the sense that he just wants to cause and inflict harm for the joy of doing so. He does it to affirm that he can still feel emotions, not for the sake of random killing. He's not a psychopath - he's a sociopath. He's still an unjust murderer though. |

| damn Hiro is the new edgelord. Love this anime, can't wait for episode 3. |
| Bruuuh, no wonder I love the OP so much because it was by Man With A Mission. I'm so not okay. Waaaaaah. Why am I having a feeling that this anime will be the AOTS? Ohmygod. This episode is much fucking better than the first and finally we already met that guy who was transformed into a human cyborg just like Inuyashiki-san and turns out he's the bad guy here. Ohmygod. Just when I thought they can work with each other and save the unfortunate people. Haha. Hiro just literally showed to his little brother, I think, that he became something like a powerful cyborg. Jesus. The whole scene with him was so fucking amazing and terrifying, too. Such a dangerous man to have that kind of power. That "BANG" reminded of this certain comics I've read long time ago where the main character accidentally killed his sister or something just like with Hiro's BANG power. Lmfao. So, Inuyashiki-san can hear the people asking for help then? Wow. And can someone please tell me who's that girl and why Hiro killed her and her family? Was she the one who bullied Hiro's brother? Bruuuh, I was speechless throughout the murder scene then that father unintentionally drowned his own kid to death. What the fuck. Haha. GODFUCKINGDAMN. STILL NOT OVER THIS EPISODE AND THAT FREAKING CLIFFHANGER, MAAAN. Glad it didn't take that long for Inuyashiki-san and Hiro to meet. Ugh. Ugh. From 7/10 to 9/10 real quick! Yas! YAAAS! P.S. Glad they're not censoring anime titles. Haha. Nice. |

| Really enjoyed this episode. Especially how Hiro is neither good or evil. He seems bored, if anything - and kills to see if he can still be considered human/alive. |

| Pretty good episode. MAPPA did a nice job at capturing the brutality of the series. Was pretty sad at all the innocents that died in the episode but the final scene with him and Ichirou was awesome. I'm excited for the next episode. |
 |
| i mean who could imagine what one is capable of if one had this kind of power and get bored or curious about these kind of things... |

Bruuuh, I was speechless throughout the murder scene then that father unintentionally drowned his own kid to death. What the fuck. Haha. He don't know them, like shown in the scene where he just turn around in the middle of the street hiding his face, he just randomly killed these people, it just happened thats the house he stopped at. |

dasprn said: TheDoggoneGirl said: And can someone please tell me who's that girl and why Hiro killed her and her family? Was she the one who bullied Hiro's brother? Hiro just killed for fun I guess? Coz he just chose the prey like a lucky draw. He's killing to verify that he can feel emotions, rather than specifically for fun. I feel like the implication is that he's trying to test whether or not he can feel sympathy for a person dying in front of him. He believes he should be able to, and tries to do what he can to make it happen. That's why he didn't mean to outright kill the mother, and why he toyed around with the father and child. For now it's ambiguous though, the story could be as boring as him simply being a sadist who gets off on torturing people to death. But the implication is more that he's become completely disconnected from emotions - which is why he jumps from death threats and killing to trying to talk about an anime he liked. |

| What a weird place for a bus stop to be. One lane on the road and it blocks the whole traffic. What to talk if flow of people getting in/out of the bus is pretty big ? The Big Sister looked like she had some work put into her appearance , didn't expect her to die in few minutes. Series of events in this episode portrayed my view on immortality ( lets assume these guys are immortal ). You become bored and start doing brutal things in order to have fun or feel some sort of new emotion. Also , Hiro was at the scene during Inuyashiki's transformation so he should at least have knowledge of the granddad , how come didn't he recognize him ? |
| Pretty good episode I think but I didn't really feel it I think. Could have been better The villain is a great depiction of craziness though, certainly one of the better ones in anime world |
| So we got our old goody-two-shoes guy and our teen sociopath. Hoping Hiro gets his ass handed to him. |

Baka_Debakar said: They mentioned Gantz (Even the character somewhat looks same)!! Inuyashiki and Gantz are written by the same mangaka. The_viewer said: This villain character (Hiro) reminds me of Light from death note. They kind of have some similarities. I am eagerly waiting for the next episode. I don't know if I see it. Hiro kills people to see if he can feel anything and ultimately uses his power for evil, since he keeps killing random people. With Light, he at least tried to kill the 'bad guys', which is why people followed and worshiped Kira. No sane person would follow Hiro, but you can't say the same for Light, since his methods did help people even if it was done in the wrong way. Hiro is just a kid who wants to be loved and cherished, but since he's just a kid and not fully developed he just kills without remorse. He's an idiot. A childish idiot. |

| I didn't know that Gantz and Inuyashiki have the same mangeka!! That's kind of cool that it he referenced his other series in here. But holy shit, this character of this episode is completely apathetic. With this episode, things got a whole lot darker. |
| Damn...this episode, i'm speechless. Can't believe this happened, i mean the way it happened...everything was so fast and so dark. What a way to introduce the main villain... Hope Inuyashiki will learn/understand his powers to fight him back next time. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I'm getting used to the voice actors, and I think the voices for the high school main characters are great, seeing as they are realistic and not atypical. The anime continues its quality and faithfulness to the manga. I'm surprised the anime got away with blatantly mentioning Spiderman, Attack on Titan, One Piece... and it actually scares me that some of my friends have a similar perspective to Shishigami... These people do exist and I think Shishigami is an interesting take of the desensitised modern generation... Wow, I've never used that word before. BANG. BANG. BANG. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| Oh my gosh. The synopsis for this anime seemed more lightherted and I didn't look that hard into it before watching so i was not expecting a psychopath serial killer! Probably should take a closer look at the genre next time. XD Either way, it was actually pretty good. Love the juxtapositioning between the two. Old and young, kind and cruel. And they both do it to "feel alive." |
 |
| “Are my father and little brother dead too?” "What does that matter? We were talking about One Piece." I'm done, lmao |
 |
| That was a sick episode! A bit sad that the first episode was so poor compared to this one. Dis gun be good |
| damn Hiro is a psycho |

Swim_Swim said: franciu said: honestly everything shishigami does is supposed to make you feel uneasy. i think he's an interesting evil character, but at the same time i hate him (a lot). At same time he's pretty relatable in some ways, honestly how many cares about the suffering of people who they dont know? Not many, most would be sadder if one their fav fictional char dies... So his feelings are probably really familiar to many people. If he's relatable I'd be a bit worried about your mental health; he's a plausible character who makes sense as a deranged sociopath but probably not relatable to most people. I may be sadder when one of my fav characters die but I am pretty sure I will choose that over a violent death of a person I don't know, and I'm sure the overwhelming majority of the population would think the same |
| There are so many alarm bells going off in my head telling me to drop this right now. Like the first episode didn't grab me that much but at least from a character perspective I could understand what made the old guy tick and why saving people made him feel alive. But what the actual fuck is it about killing people that makes Hiro feel alive, especially for a guy who doesn't give a fuck about the lives of other people. Like he doesn't seem to get any sick pleasure out of it soooooo why?? Especially since he, like Inuyashiki, was able to physically cry after reading One Piece for like 5 seconds because of the 'feels'. At this point, I'm more inclined to believe that One Piece makes Hiro feel more alive than the act of killing. Like his whole murder spree is just baffling to me. This episode also just had me laughing at times where I obviously shouldn't have been. The first time was when he was crashing all the cars and I noticed that nobody had bothered to put in any CGI people in the the cars. The second was when Hiro was having that conversation with the girl about One Piece and shit. |

| I think the family deserved what they got. After all their father does weird shit with his son in the tub and their daughter's favorite manga are one piece and attack on titan. I get that one piece is a good manga but it better not be your god damn favorite when shit like hunter x hunter, jojo, and beserk exist e-e.... Seriously though....When the fuck has one piece had feels after the timeskip e-e...? |
