| I wanted to see Shinichi in action again oh well there's next week episode xD Why!!! Migi why!! R.I.P Migi :( |
 |
| My God this series is epic |
| That was such a sad scene. If Migi truly is gone, props to Aya Hirano on a wonderful performance. Also, what a nice old woman. She came out of nowhere, too. Anyway, best of luck to Shinichi. He's going to need it. |
| Kane Migi is dead? Yeah, right... Old lady was really nice and reminds me of someone, great episode anyway. |
 |
| I know its difficult to create feels for a parasite, but migi's death was still a little sudden. The rest of the episode was also paced awkwardly... |
~my list
| Actually felt a little sad when Migi died :/ |
 |
| Interesting episode. I actually wasn't expecting Migi to "die" like that. But, I don't think it's truly the end for him. He left quite a bit of cells in Shinichi's body, and as we all know, cells do multiply. I wouldn't be surprised if over time, he was able to rebuild himself inside of Shinichi's body. Perhaps that was the plan all along. If Migi died, he could always rebuild himself inside of Shinichi, and start over. If Shinichi died, they were done for good. So, in theory, they could take as many attempts at Gotou's life as possible. Provided that they were given enough chance to fully rebuild themselves, and Gotou didn't catch on. |
| Still dont think Migi is dead though |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| I felt it was kinda rushed, like Akame ga Kill! rushed. Got to see the next episodes to say for sure. I wonder how Shinichi is going to top Gotou. Maybe buy eternally stabbing him with a rusty knife. |

| I miss Migi :( He changed so much, saving Shinichi like that |
| Hi there |
Shrimperor said: robis798 said: Something felt off this episode. Not sure what. glad i am not the only one. Espicially the first 5 min. felt totally off. Agreed, although I have to admit this was significantly better than last week's. Nevertheless, I'm still bemused by the fact this was the best strategy they could come up with for dealing with Mr. Invincible, especially not knowing any of his vulnerabilities. Their rest by the tree confirmed they really hadn't thought past launching their car at him. |
| nope nope nope I refuse to believe Migi died My heart can't take this I'm drowning in my own tears |
| Man! RIP Migi! But I guess not really cuz some cells are still in Shinichi |
| I refuse that he's dead. He'll be back, I'm sure of it! |
| Migi NOOOOOOOOOOOO! |
 |
| I'm going to start casually dropping 'Isn't that what it means to be human' into conversations like the characters of this show do. |
| I'm not getting enough vegetables. I'm just not getting enough vegetables. |
| Meh. Let's hope the last two episodes are decent like some previous ones. |
 |
| Still rushed, still felt off. So basically this episode was : Blablala i'm not strong enough *Migi dies* blablabla *Gotou is way too stronk* blablabla *"that's what it means to be human" bullcrap* blablabla Talk about a f*cking anti-climatic episode ... |

| Man looks like its really coming to an end. Let's not forget about that murderer that got away in the hype of all the Gotou, I have a feeling that he's gonna make a comeback. Wasn't Shinichi suppose to catch some flies or something? |
 |
| Kind of a lame episode. Didn't want miki to go out like that, really fucking boring and forced. Grandma sucked. First episode of the series I legit did not like. Meh what was a solid 8 might be a 7 now. Probably get some lame shounen ending now where shinchi survives and miki is barely alive or something. |
| Migi "died"=sad Gotou =mega parasyte now. 3/5 |
| this was... somehow dumb episode.. oh well |
 |
| just a theory |
 |
LusciousLobsters said: just a theory Yes I do. That insert bgm music made it pretty obvious. They brought up flame throwers in the past and then left it hanging. |
| My first post :D When migi told shinchi to run, that made me like him even more. He acted like a hero but I wonder if he already knew that he will still survive with a small part of him in shinchi? I don't know what mitsuyo's role is but I like her already. I hope that on the next episode it will have a little more action :) |

| I still don't get the all 10 rating reviews on MAL but I will probably give it a 7 by the end of this. |
 |
| Really good episode! Damn, only two episodes left |
| You know, it may be a bit far fetched, but I wonder if Migi could have joined Goto in his body? Sure, we saw Migi on the verge of dying and he clearly saved Shinichi, telling him to flee, probably because he didn't even had enough energy to attack back. It was really touching how he saved him, but I can't stop thinking that parasyte ultimate nature is to protect their own life. Ryouko was a special case in my book because she had a really strong and emotional link to that child, something not as strong as the friendship between Shinichi and Migi. By joining Shinichi, he kill two birds with one stone since he save both Shinichi and his life. Goto won't be able to pursue Shinichi easily because parasyte can't detect human. The other thing that make me think that Migi might have joined Goto body is his sudden transformation. We are dicted by the law of evolution, but that evolution is too sudden to be natural. The other possibility to me is that Migi may have merged with an animal. In the end, I don't believe he is dead. The fact that the parasyte in his dream said that he can sense that he's alive make me believe so. Anyway, it was a good episode, as always. The old lady was really nice, even if she still look a bit shady, like she hiding something. I may be paranoid too. At first, I didn't understand their plan since the first time they decapitated Goto, it didn't worked, but it's true that they didn't reacted the first time, due to the unusual situation that took the by surprise. It was a good plan, but it was too hard to execute in a single blow. Too much relying on a low probability of success, ended up with the short end of the stick. It suck. |

| Migi dead or not? quick spoiler please. |
| Migi and Shinichi are separated, I did not think this farewell so moving, but Shinichi cried almost the whole episode, I think his personality this oscillating much in recent episodes, and the final episodes are coming, I hope good fights and a good development .. |
  |
| Felt really rushed...plus the goodbye between Shinichi and Migi was way too short after everything they've been though. |
| Eh |
| RIP Migi |

| Noo, that was so sad. Can't wait to see how it ends |
 |
| Eh, maybe someone will be able to point out something I missed, but I am not the least bit convinced by Migi's sacrifice. Throughout the series, everything he's done has always been calculated and has been out of self-interest even though there was usually a mutual benefit for Shinichi as well. Wishful thinking has me hoping that he thought of something, such as merging with Gotou or the like, because this just feels like it completely went against his character otherwise. I mean, it was apparent that Shinichi and Migi were getting along more and more and became a seemingly inseparable duo, but I really just don't see Migi being the kind to completely sink ration and go "LIVE SHINICHI I WANT YOU TO LIVE!" Unless of course, the other possibility is that he knows his cells will regenerate in Shinichi when given enough time. That old woman honestly creeped me out, but she does remind me of a typical old woman. At first I thought she trying to hook up with Shinichi, she seemed very attached to him, unlike Migi (ah sorry, too soon...). I wasn't really convinced by her whole humanity speech and honestly these keep feeling like they're just being rammed in for the sake of it. Otherwise though I'm looking forward to the final battle and hope this is able to blow my speculation out of the water. |

| ^ You touched on a few of my questions with this episode. While we have seen some human development, it hasn't been enough for me to believe he'd whimsically sacrifice them both on a far-fetched gamble with a vehicle, followed by....escaping into the woods, alone, with no other allies, no particular field advantage, an acknowledgement that they had "zero" chance of victory.....and no plan B ("let's stop here and strategize"). It just seemed to contradict Migi's cold, calculating, logical nature. Perhaps Migi expected this defeat/result and has some other grand scheme in mind, but I'm skeptical (but hopeful). Seems to me the more reasonable solution with the best chance of survival would have been to make a deal with the military; it's their problem now, afterall. |

Ragna92 said: Omg no! Migi! My eyes were literally bawling during that scene. Migi is a hero indeed. Me too, i'm really in tears. At the back of my mind i was thinking how he might still technically be alive because he's spread out in Shinichi...but is that really the same Migi? Same memories? Why do the best characters die (Tamura Reiko) :( |
| Welp...I shouldn't be surprised by that with all the build up toward Migi becoming more humane, but the way it was executed certainly did bring a level of shock. I agree with those saying it felt kinda off, but it was still pretty damn sad. |
