I’m confused if the detective knew that both twins are alive why he didn’t keep interviewing them or monitoring them… he is quite obsessed with Dr. Tenma instead of solving the case because if that want the case he would have been pestering all of them, the twins & Tenma in equality not the other way around… He is supposed to do what Tenma is doing in this episode, after all he has more resources that a Doctor trying to gather information… *Sigh*

Nina is a really likeable character, it's a shame that she'll inevitably get caught up in this.

Good episode, we see a lot more of Johan now.

I don't understand how Tenma found out about Johan's place after disappearing.

BTW, Johan feeds on fear. That's awesome.
Johan is lot like the Joker for Tenma's batman, where Tenma doesn't want to kill, but Johan is ready to kill.

Nina is just a sideshow however.

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.

The reveal wasn't that surprising, but I'm really a fan of the slow build up here.

I hope that Tenma will make it to Anna in time and be able to save her foster parent's, cause they seem like good people.

So, Johan & Nina are both fine. Nina is getting weird messages from Johan, as it seems. Nina saw him, and passed out, damn...

The episode was a bit boring, well, average, but it got good when the parents showed Nina a supposed picture of her.

The build up towards the encounter between the two siblings was goooood.

Johan probably adopted by a lot of couples, and killed all of them. That's why the couples that was recently killed had no child.

So.... Johan would "collect"(lol) Nina when she was 20, and at the same time her foster parents will tell her that they're not their real parents. Don't tell me that the parents was being bribed by Johan too. Just how rich is this guy ?

Seems like Johan is a psychopath and those who he murdered seems like his foster parents, still wondering why he did that. Is it just simply to satisfy his desire to see fear? Well if he’s a psychopath that isn’t impossible.

I was surprised when that old man said he’s blind, maybe that’s why Johan didn’t kill him since he can’t see him and doesn’t even know his real name.

Very different from the previous episode but I loved it. Anna is an amazing character so far and she adds a lot to the series.

I wasn't expecting her personality to get introduced in such a happy manner though lol. I'm glad she's happier now

Johan is quite the psychopath for showing such interest in fear from the old nazi guy's story and on top of that a fricking genius for learning english and french in a year time (I still suck at both of them after 5 years....)

As soon as I saw Nina, I knew she was Johan's sister.

We are five episodes in. It's apparent that this show is slow-paced, so I have to watch this in a chilling mood. Good thing I didn't come to this show expecting every episode to be intense like Death Note.

So Nina is Johans twin sister it seems as if the trauma of what happened made her lose her memory. Johan seems like a smart guy and a cool villain I’m just hoping he’s not the only one of this series. Also the old guy seems to have contributed allot to Johan being more messed up than he already was.

Okay so this was a peaceful episode and no bad thing in this once slowly story progressing.

About Episode:

So this Nina is the same girl who was in wheelchair. And obviously Johan is looking for her. Nina is also really popular and beautiful girl. But she is too sensitive because she collapsed too many times already. I wonder how Nina is going to accept that she is adopted.

Looks like Johan was mastermind of languages and only 12-year old boy. That's something for so young talented boy. That old man who served Tenma tea was nice and I think Johan had something to do with that he is blind. So Johan enjoys terror and people in fear. Obviously mark for Psycho.

Still it seems Nina is getting his memories back like she had amnesia they talked about. Getting random emails sure is scary but it could also mean that Johan loves Nina and don't want to hurt here.

So good to see this episode had Tenma also I think first this was a filler episode with this Nina girl past.

So Tenma is now detective and not doctor anymore I guess he quit the job for getting to know more about Johan.

So Johan is known as Franz and Michael so many fake names. Scary part was that Johan was just looking Nina and when Nina saw him. She just collapsed on the ground. Let's hope that Tenma is going to meet that girl in next ep.

Good one
5/5


Can anybody tell how Dr. Tenma found the other names of Johan? Was it mentioned some where?

Poor Nina. Apparently she subconciously remembers the massacre of her family, hence her panic attack at the professor's question.
Considering that and fact that she doesn't remember her childood, those emails are more suspicious than romantic if you ask me. As if someone was stalking her.

Tenma walks around and asks people for Johan... Did he quit his job or something? It's not like you have time to walk around the city looking for someone when you're active MD - if you have enough free time to get a decent sleep, you're good.

Another new main character was introduced: Anna Liebert (or known as "Nina Fortner" in this episode).

We got more information about the god char Johann Liebert...

The end of the episode was so unique and well done. The scene were Anna saw Johann "for the first time"...

Nina Fortner, yeah hahaha you're not fooling me. The first thing I thought of when seeing a 20 years old ish girl with blonde hair and blue eyes with a keen intellect was. "Oh, this is Johan's sister" The fact that she can't even remember her childhood suggest back to Jonah's sister's amnesia after the shock she got from her family's murder.

Seems like Johan is about to meet her soon, but ofc, the guy has to be teasing the audience like this... Well, from what I can tell, Nina would learn of her past from her foster parents first, and if she's smart, she would connect two and two together and figure out that the handsome guy watching over her from afar that she felt familiar of is in fact her long lost brother.

Meanwhile, Dr. Tenma is out here trying to earn a Ph.D. in detective work. I know he cares for his patient but damn, this is stepping over the line for a mere surgeon.

I started to expect that Nina was Johan's twin sis after that whole "your prince on the white horse!" lol. I could've figured it out way earlier but got too carried with Johan's charisma like i mean he attractive after all at least in my pov.

En su fuero interno se mantenía firme: era tan poco probable que Zimmerman se suicidara como que
lo hiciera él mismo. No mostraba ningún signo de tendencias suicidas, inclinaciones a la autodestrucción ni
propensión a la violencia contra sí mismo. Zimmerman era neurótico y testarudo, y estaba apenas
empezando a comprender la percepción analítica; era un hombre al que todavía había que empujar para
que consiguiese algo, como sin duda habían tenido que empujarlo a la vía del metro. Pero Ricky empezaba
a tener problemas para discernir la realidad de lo que no lo era. Incluso con la nota de Riggins delante, tras
su visita a la estación de metro y la comisaría, seguía costándole aceptar la realidad de la muerte de
Zimmerman. Seguía alojado en algún lugar surrealista de su mente. Bajó los ojos hacia la carta de suicidio y
comprendió que él era la única persona nombrada. Volvió a reparar en que no estaba firmada a mano, sólo
habían mecanografiado el nombre. O lo había hecho el propio Zimmerman si es que él la había escrito.

I totally forgot about the girl, not really but I thought she wouldn't take a big part in the story, now it seems like she will. So, we have the doctor, the twins and the detective, that square is representing the story right now. Fascinating!

So Nina is Johans sister, was kinda getting the idea that she freaked out in class, but was 100% sure about it by the end of the episode.
Also more lore on Johan was interesting.

Monster Episode 5-6

I was surprised that they show the culprit of all the killings early in the show. The ghost of Dr. Tenma's past came back to threaten the fulfilled life that he had built. Now, the boy that he saved, Johann, who he thought showed him the right path towards his ideals, is the one that will break it and turn everything that he has into chaos.

These episodes gave us insights on the nature of Johann. The old blind man said that he was a prodigy, who learned and became fluent in English and French within a few months. He also said that the young boy was interested in war stories that specifically tell terror in the face of death. We also found out about this girl named Nina who has no memories of her childhood. It hasn't been confirmed yet, but there is a big chance that she was the missing sister of Johann.
