Some minor progress this episode, Satou was BEAST. The way he just handled everyone. The yakuza guy seems to be the doctor? And I still don't get this Japanese government party. The black haired girl who works with them while she's an Ajin. Well I wanna find out in the next 7 episodes.

I normally cringe or just laugh awkwardly at moments when characters say cheesy stuff about life and how to be good, but this time I actually cried. Probably cause Kei went through so much pain/torture and I was probably touched by the fact that he could still stop himself from harming others just because of Kai. and probably cause there is probably no one in this whole entire world that would be able to do that. oops
And ofc, props to the voice actor for Kei. He did well!

Old man Satou is the business. Those fighting moves. Impressive.

Kei's reactions are weird.

I think the sad part is that this is exactly what would happen to Ajin irl. Fucking horrible.

Satou is a terrible Ajin but dammit he's freaking badass.

Kei has no balls.

The kid resisted falling into madness and slaughtering those people. Putting up with torture for 10 days takes more balls than killing those bastards. It would've been futile anyway since he'd still be trapped in the facility and I assume they'd find a way to make this nightmare even worse for him after that.

Among the many parallels with Tokyo Ghoul, we can add 10 days of torture for the MC.

Is this government just dumb or just forget things really fast or just to evil and cant think straight. You did this before morons you know whats going to happen right. That shoot out scene was awesome and to be honest I dont feel bad for anyone getting killed right now. They are all douchbags and white hair guy is up there now.

Great series!! I was a bit wary about watching this; wasn't too cool with the animation, but the plot keeps getting better and better. I love Kei's morphed personality, something is definitely going on there and I'm starting to understand why his sister feels the way she does.

I love Izumi; not sure shy she's with Tosaki, but...

Satou... what is there to say? He made the espisode.

That was horrible, how can they do that if they know that he feels pain?
I'm amazed that Kei let those guys live after all that torture.
Satou was cool when he was fighting those guys without the ghost.

I love it when self righteous bastards gets what they deserve . I did't felt sorry for Kai at all . Last time i had this feeling was when Kanki from Tokyo Ghoul was being tortured. He also deserved the shit .

It's sad, really, that even if anime seemingly tries to deal with some interesting questions, it can't do anything better with it than throw gore at us and hope it will somehow glue together otherwise incoherent plot. This whole "of course they aren't human", cliché "experimentation = pointless torture"... Honestly, by now it really looks like someone indulging in sick fantasies, rather than trying to convey anything meaningful.

Also, Kei is... strange. He was shown as strange from the very beginning, and in this way consistent, but I hope there is really something to it other than consistently bad writing. Heh, now that I think about it, Mamoru Miyano voicing him just adds another layer of weird to his character. It is such an unfitting role for him.

Get tortured for days. Not only didn't want to kill his torturers, he wants to save them. Next thing he's gonna think he's female all along.

Tosaki is not an ajin? That pretentious fuck.

Ordinary people can't see the black ghost which is why they couldn't react when it destroys them. Good.

Only another Ajin can see the IBM/black ghost.

Kei thinking about his husbando, Kaito, even during his darkest moments.

Satou breaking in like Rambo, shooting himself in the head and wrecking havoc.

Tanaka got them feels. Kei got them feels.

I don't know, this whole experimentation (torture) thing seems to be rather pointless. They already know, that Ajin can't die. What kind of knowledge do they wish to obtain by repeating the same thing over and over again?

I love how Kei's ghost stared Tosaki straight in the face. Got him really pissed off.

As for Kei's personality, he is rather emotionless and calculating. But that makes him an even better protagonist in my opinion.

Chopped off his arm like it was nothing.

Seems like the public only knows that Ajin is somewhat immortal but they didn't know that they also have some sort of guardian.

"All right, kill him once more and let's take a break." I lol'd at how they talk like that so casually.

Satou finally opened his eyes, although only slightly.

Seems Ajin can regenerate limbs, that means decapitating their head will not kill them, at least that's what I thought.

Looks like Izumi had a dilemma between choosing the righthing or following Tosaki.

Comparing Kei with Kaneki, Kei is tortured longer than Kaneki, although his hair doesn't turns white. Well, maybe it's because his torture is lighter lol.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

Great episode! I can almost feel the pain while Kei’s being tortured. Poor guy but he’s amazing, he’s still sane after 10 days of being killed multiple times.

Satou’s fighting skills was so badass. He’s obviously skilled being an Ajin.

I’m liking this more and more. The story telling wasn’t rushed and the animation doesn’t bother me that much anymore. Hope the succeeding episodes will still be great.

Kei being tortured was so hard to watch POOR BOY(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) The experiments were so unsettling

Sato’s breaking in scene was so sick tho that was awesome how he just chopped off his arms & killed himself. Also I chuckled at the end lol Kei’s just not reacting how Sato wants him to huh

Mamoru’s voice work top-notch as always







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

fan-f***ing-tastic

the man in the hat is awesome. a really fascinating and strong character. (clearly he's not a "good guy" but in this instance idgaf haha). "well this was...a failure" lolz

kei, on the other hand, is a crybaby little bitch. he was obviously never the most mentally tough of characters, but his appeal absolutely plummeted this episode. went from being an average/standard kid to one i want to die that way the story can progress without him. the only way he redeems himself is if he has a crazy transformation; a metamorphosis

at this point, i want to see the man in the hat vs the american doctor vs the japanese ajin police duo. MAY THE BEST MAN WIN. this doctor dude seems like he's going to be an incredible foil. an intelligent, wise-ass, a-hole haha

that torture experimentation was brutal. truly despicable stuff

was tanaka able to communicate with kei via some sort of telepathy there? i didn't quite understand that

please don't ruin this incredible show, kei. PLEASE. i beg of you. i'm enjoying the hell out of this

I wonder what the origin of Ajin's powers actually is. Does respawning use their life force, do they live shorter maybe? There has to be some drawback to this power, I imagine.
