This is probably gonna sound bizarre, but when Nina said that there were two Johanns, I thought the message was going to be Johann's corpse hung up on the building rooftop with some message about the monster finally being released or something. A little underwhelmed by the split personality reveal, was hoping Johann was just a full fledged psycho. Hope there's more to it than that.

Oh. I guess I've seen the serial killer two personality thing done one too many times. I was a bit disappointed.
I really liked Johann the way he was being built up as a misanthropist. T^T

I can now see why everyone said Johann is a very developed antagonist. With a split of personality, he's still human and yet, a monster.

THAT PLOT TWIST HOLY SHIT!

I was so worried that Nina was going to die. She's the only beautiful girl in this anime.

Fucking Rat-face you would have died if Dieter didn't put out the fire with your stinking carpet! Such an ungrateful bastard.

I'm so happy that that stupid Baby's plans were foiled. I swear I still want to punch his fucking dumb face.

Another intense episode. This anime's getting a lot more interesting!

This show has some hits and misses for me, and, it's those small things that are bugging me about it.
For example, in a town such as Frankfurt, where some shady organization tied to a political extremist party, the police or Germany's BND/Federal Intelligence Service wouldn't keep a tab on their actions and their associates, especially for an organization who plans to set fire to a district, for which, you certainly need the funds, as well tracking on what those money were spent on.

Killing of General Wolf siblings can also connect to something, because people closest to him are being killed off, and, for that reason the police can question him, whilst, he can speak about Johan, the person involved in all those killings. Things don't go unnoticed just like that, especially for someone of that rank.

So, in my opinion, based on those facts, and the facts of the people who had a close contact with Johan, and those who haven't been killed, Johan can be pinpointed, or, rather, the investigation can be narrowed to few possibilities of who might be the culprit.
Connecting the dots with the Liebert family, the orphanage, the ones who ran the orphanage, General Wolf, the murder of the Fortner family and et cetera can narrow it, and, the only connection Tenma has to the murder(s), is his tie found on the killed gardener, so, just like I said, narrow it to few suspects.

Hmm, I think it's kinda lame that he has the split personality. I feel like it cheapened the idea that he's lost his humanity. If there's two of him, there's still humanity in him.

Good episode, but the end was... unbearably predictable and cliché. This series is very strange: it has some real golden moments and the pacing is absolutely phenomenal, but some of the plot is just... 3rd rate. Ah well, still early. Onward we go!

Overall the arc was pretty enjoyable and it revealed some interesting things, however i feel the plot in this arc went a bit downhill, it was predictable, and for a thriller i dont like it when its predictable.

Dieter is making clutch plays.
First with the alcohol, not even flinching then stopping the fire. Usually kids are annoying af in shows but Dieter is cool.

Was expecting a bit more from Johan than having some split-personality disorder but it doesn't hurt too much.

Split personality... I wonder if Johan can be saved... of course I’m not talking about forgiving him, he needs to be in jail or a mental institution assuming he wants that considering that the good part wants the other part dead... the question is now that Tenma knows this will he be able to pull the trigger like he planned to do (considering he was thinking Johan was pure evil)? I want to know what was the case for his split personality.

"She was killed because she tried to warn you all about this"
Wait what? How's that possible exactly?
The one that talked to Ayse was Anna/Nina, and she left before meeting Tenma or the friend
So, how?

Baby, I see why that's his name xD

Good job figuring it out after Anna/Nina just literally said it

That's where I stopped watching a year ago.
That's too cheesy to be used in a story like this. The guy was not a baby gangster.

And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.

Thank god Heckel stole that carpet(And also gave the location) and Dieter is fast. Otherwise everything would have got bad pretty quick. Also Tenma did a nice job of saving people from the fire.

I don't believe Johan is bipolar. Johan is Johan. He has no disorders. Reason why he said this probably has to do with reconciling with his sister. And the whole story is going in a nice direction.

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.

Heckels greed saved the day.

The split personality is not really a surprising twist, but it explains why Johan would be interested in Anna killing him.

Man, everytime I think I know the direction this show is going to go for a little while, it keeps subverting my expectations. I was expecting a pseudo-SoL for a few episodes as Tenma builds his character and improves his environment, but this is working out for me too.

Johan having DID is an interesting twist for sure. Lunge's on the right track but with the wrong person, lol.

Still waiting for Johan to actually show up and interact with the main cast instead of just being talked about. Like someone else before said, the split personality thing takes away from the impact and accountability of his actions and turns Johan more into a "tortured soul" than a true monster like he's being described. It would've been more refreshing to have him be a regular sociopath instead, too bad it doesn't seem to be going that way.

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, they go and introduce that "Baby" character. Looks like a racial caricature and is absolutely cringeworthy in everything he does.

Nina is not frightening, The Baby was just being a baby.

Still not sure whether Johan had 2 personality or not. It's just Anna's assumption, anyway.

Alright! The town is saved! Not only that, but Dieter and Heckel are too! Haha, I finally know what his name is and it sounds like the word heckle which probably isn't a coincidence since he's a petty thief/gangster.

Mayne, even in fiction, white supremacy is brainless and heartless.

I remember learning 'bout Nogi Maresuke (on my own free time of course). He was a general during the Meji period of Japan. He also served as governor of Taiwan (it was occupied by Japan at the time). He's also known for committing suicide with his wife by 切腹 (seppuku).

Wait a tick, Johan has two personalities? What does this mean for future episodes? It's been awhile since I've used German in anything and have forgotten a good chunk of it, but I'm kind of happy with myself that I was able to understand the message at the end

Johan’s dissociative identity disorder were just Ana’s assumption right? Oh well if that’s true, I’m hoping they will have a good backstory about this and hope they can pull this off because DID is such a complex psychological condition.

Great end to the whole burning plan. Big baby actually had an accident in his pants like a true baby. Heckler losing his rug to fire was just seen coming from miles away but still managed to be s fun thing.

Of course its interesting that this is only 17/74 episodes, it feels like we know so many things about Johan and other things that the show is already 2/3 done but I guess we are about to have a very interesting ride ahead,
