Tenma is so lucky. I wonder what would happen if he didn't meet only nice people =P

I noticed the container thing as well.

It's funny how EVERYONE who Kenzo meets figures out he's wanted for murder, but NOBODY turns him in. Not the old couple, or Rudy, or all of the Turks, or the doctor and policeman from that small village, or the gun guy. Heckel almost got him in trouble, but that wasn't because he wanted to.

I guess Kenzo just has an infectious personality. He doesn't have a single wicked bone in his body. A true good guy. He makes everyone who meets him better for having met him, and that wins people over I guess.

Not the best episode but an enjoyable side story. It just dawned on me how different this anime is from the anime I usually watch...I kinda miss the outrageous character designs and fights but in other ways it's refreshing to watch something completely different.

This is why the car broke down. They really need to stop making German cars with such small gas tanks, you can't drive long distances with only a 2 to 5 gallon gas tank.

This episode had very nice character development. Even if the story did not develop. Tenma's innocent image is strengthened. And it is the main thing that keeps Tenma from being arrested. It's not because he meets only "nice people". The innocent look in his eyes is so strong, that every normal person can say that by just looking at him. Normal people do not include very smart, intelligent people. Like inspector Runge. He is a very logical man, who does not trust his emotions, if he has any of those. Other people like the doctor in the last episode, also trusted logic and his experience in dealing with people who have psychological disorders.

Everyone Tenma meets knows he's innocent. I know I'm just guessing, but it seems like there might be an award for turning him in, and they all still let Tenma go.I feel bad about what happened with their son though :(

Yet his "niceness" makes him a great contrast to the morally lacking characters in the story.

When the guy mentioned he was a pretty good detective, then gave Tenma a really long look I had a feeling the story was going to go this route.
But even knowing that, the episode was enjoyable. The scenic tour was nice to look at, the couple were cute in a shrewd way and dieter was terribly cute running up the stairs.

I was thrown for one loop though, after leaving the police station they say "What should we do?" kinda like 'now that we know Tenma is an evil killer'. But the writer got me! Who doesn't love a twist ending.

Nice Filler episode.

About Episode:

Haha couple was very kind to stop that car and give ride to Tenma and dieter but their badly Tenma chose car that one of the couple was policeman before. Oh man Tenma haha have a nice ride. Nice to see even that man questioned Tenma so many times he learned that his Innocent and not guilty of those events that happened. That sunglasses guy was really kind in the end.¨

Now who is this their son they are talking about Robert. Maybe this is going to be revealed soon with plot twist or something like that. But this was peaceful episode and scenary looked beautiful.

Nail. On. The. Head.

Everyone here seems quick to praise Tenma -- and for good reason! -- but there are serious parallels between him and Johan.

great episode :D

even though it was only a filler, it was still great!

finally Dieter is here!

wondered where he went last episode :P

i'm glad Tenma came back to give the old couple some gas!

that was a long walk though!

and wow the husband is pretty suspicious of him.

the police station scene was intense! definitely gonna make you crazy as hell!

and i thought the Robert son was Johan XD

too much of a coincidence :P

glad the husband though of Tenma was innocent ^^

so Tenma reminded them of their son, that despite killing someone.

he might have been a good kid. could he be framed or something?

wow so we're at 20th episode now!!

time sure flies by!!

i'll probably won't be able to watch this week due to having an exam next week O___O

so i'll watch the 21th episode a week and few days from now ^^

I'm glad that he saw what a good heart Tenma had. I was worried that he would've turned into the police station. You'll love the next episodes!

Am I the only one who's curious as to who this Robert guy is that's the old couples son? At first I thought, 'no way could this really be Johann's real parents' but who knows, maybe they'll appear again and it'll all be explained.

For some reason, I just can't stop watching this show. I love how slow it is and all the 'filler' episodes. It only furthers the characters depth and it really is something I have grown to enjoy.

Its not that their "nice", its that they got to know him and realized what a good person he is.

Anyways, surprisingly this was my favorite episode so far (for some reason). I liked the message and I thought it was executed perfectly. The old ex-policeman guy talking about a man being a murderer in the cafe and then we find out at the end that the man he was talking about was their son... brilliant.

It seems the point of the these "filler" episodes is to show that the antagonist is wrong. There are good people in this world that aren't monsters. The world isn't filled with people bent on it's destruction.

Not much plot developement but that scene at the police station was fucking intense.

If I was wanted for murder and a policeman looked at me, I'd probably shit myself.

Yeah, definitely looking forward to that.

The semi-episodic format that has been adopted makes me quite comfortable to watch an episode whenever I feel like it. In a sense, Monster is actually a pretty casual series :D

Loved the atmosphere in this episode! So calming. The plot didn't develop but I believe that these kind of episodes are very important to the whole feel of the story. Also, Tenma has been SUPER lucky until now.

I can understand people not loving the slow pace of the show, but man am I loving this anime. We get a lot of these "fillers" but imo thats kind of the point of the show. You know that theres 74 eps so each episode can only move the story forward so much without drastically changing the plot (i.e. run from cops, find Johan). I like character development and I'm interested to see where this all ends up, but I am enjoying taking my time with the series. Although now I'm starting to binge haha
