Suck on that Eva! Glad Tenma just ignored her =P

Whoa at the ending. Can't believe Tenma, who was against killing, is probably going after Johan to kill him.

I re-watched eps 1-7 after a hiatus and now realize I could have just watched this one, which is basically a recap with some additional plot element introductions.

The story is still developing as good as it was developing until now. But i really hated those annoyingly long few episodes old flashbacks. They took away too much screen time. Even though it was clear what the characters were thinking from their actions, emotions, etc...

I appreciate recaps in the show since I don't watch it constantly. I mean, these were very brief... hardly a recap episode. The story took a whole other direction in this episode.

Chill out

Well, when you consider that most recaps don't advance the plot and a lot, and I mean a lot, has happened in just the first seven episodes, it's strange to see all these people complaining.

I think one reason why there was so much recap in this episode is probably because the creators wanted to end this at exactly the moment the episode ended at. In many ways this was the culmination of an 8 episode long prologue, so I think it was right to plan it like this instead of rushing some of the other episode into this one.

Which would have been pretty stupid, considering you would have skipped the episodes introducing Anna who is very important to the plot.

Still, way too early in the show for this many recaps. Nothing was covered in the flashbacks that couldn't have been addressed in the police interview.

Yeah that girl Eva is just the biggest bitch! Was really hoping that she would get killed 9 years ago but I guess she got lucky, though I hope by the end of this series she dies, and preferably in a very pathetic and funny way.

Recap Recap Recap Recap....

About Episode:

So yeah half of the episode was recap but I guess it's good thing because in later parts no one is not going to remember what happened in this beginning part so I think recap is good. Those flashbacks even though there were so many of them it reminds that Tenma is innocent and not primary suspect.

So Eva is having sad life without Tenma just drinking wine but hey it was her fault that Tenma did this to her. Also now Eva is done it I am pretty sure Tenma is not going to forgive her never at least I wouldn't after announcing to tell about necktie
I almost knew that Rungus is going to questioning Eva about Tenma. Eva tried yet still get Tenma back no change Eva your done it already haha.

Best part was that hospital patient were cpvering Tenma and blocking road haha. Rungus were like Oh shit! and I really have to say I like that nurse who is always informing Tenma she's nice :)

5 months timeskip again and Tenma leave his job behind and has gun and his going to some other town to meet someone maybe Johan. That would explain why he had that gun in OP. he is probably going to meet Johan soon. Now let's see what kind of plot twist this series is going to take.

4/5 Still amazing episode. Too much flashbacks.

I hope the rest of the series isn't going to focus on the police/detective trying to catch Tenma, with one misunderstanding after another. It'll be a MASSIVE let down if that's the case. I don't really find it that interesting.. if anything it's just vaguely uncomfortable. I'm enjoying the series, but hoping they do something new

First off, the ex-fiancé is a total bitch. I don’t think any more needs to be said about that.

Tenma realizes that he won’t be able to do this anymore without his feelings getting in the way. He responds “It’s over” after that last operation he did after coming back from his break. To be able to leave your dream and profession like that would take incredible resolve. He’s been working his whole life to get to the top, even being knowingly used. Now, he’s ready to act and has decided to find Johan. Incredibly strong character!

I love the hate everyone bears for Eva. I bore that hate as well. I mean I absolutely despised her.

And yet, in the end, she ends up being a dandy well-developed awesome character. :3

I can't make any sense of this. The best thing for him to do at the start of this episode would have been to go to the police in a different city, or even to those national police guys, and report what happened.

Or, if he's afraid that the police are corrupt everywhere, then because they know exactly who he is, he should be concerned that could easily have had him arrested/killed, and he should have gone on the run immediately.

So how on earth was just going back to his normal life and carrying on as if nothing had happened ever supposed to work?

Ofcourse he's fleeing, considering he can't trust the police shown in previous episodes.
We know Lunge probably doesn't have anything to do with it, but Tenma doesn't.

I actually thought Eva was really going to be a nice girl for once, turns out she's just someone who can't handle someone not wanting her.
So she makes sure no-one gets him.

amazing episode as always!

though why the recap? didn't we have one of those in a few episodes?

then again it's only a short so it's not that bad.

and wow Eva is to desperate, this is what happens when you act like a bitch towards Tenma instead of trusting him all the way.

now you have to suffer the consequences.

and wow Tenma is on the hunt now! man an innocent doctor is getting a lot of heat in a crime didn't do.

Tenma must find Yohan and Nina as soon as possible!!

still got 60+ episodes to go so it's all good!
