So "Franz Bonaparta" was a pen name too. It's fitting for the man who wrote a book about a monster without a name to have an obfuscated name himself.

Lunge is always a welcome addition. I'm glad he's investigating Johan and Anna now.

Looks like Lunge is finally realizing that he way even be wrong, and that Tenma could even be innocent.

Also, I just imagine Johan making the biggest troll face in existence when he was overwriting that tape. He even trolled the audience.

Seriously though, I really want to know what was on the rest of the tape.

Lunge is back, this episode definitely feels like a turning point in his character. Also nice to see that Tenma has more and more people receptive of what he has to say. Last 5-6 episodes have been amazing, and definitely drawn me back into the series.

Brilliant, two eps ago i was talking about Lunge and how he needed to be brought back in and he's already making connections and getting into the act, and that last line: "It'll be a long vacation", can't wait.

Of all the cities in the world, Lunge just happens to go on vacation to Prague. And at exactly the right time too. How convenient.
I was thinking the same thing. But I'm happy just to see Lunge get back to the game, even if it it's only because of luck or unrealistic scripting.

How did someone like Lunge even marry and have children? Probably did it to solve a case and ended up getting hitched, didn't bother him so he stayed married on his part. *sigh

If only Richard was still alive and teamed up with Lunge. They would've of made so much progress as a team.

By now Lunge doesn’t have any excuses to believe that Johan isn’t a real person... he stored al of his data in his noggin and Tenma has never been in Prague if he doesn’t conclude that then he is in denial...

On a side note:
Leaving the tape with the mother a person who I think is suffering from Alzheimer is was a good idea if ~ key word if ~ Johan wasn’t around, he thinks like them and is always a step ahead that was their mistake…

So, did he actually turn a new leaf.. becoming another better person?
If so I might become fond of him

That smug grin on Johan's face. And he is more beautiful than Nina. I would fuck Anna over Nina anyday.

Lunge is off his chair!!! Nice. Dude is already getting close now. I hope he wins.
And Johan teasing Tenma. Both of them should get a freaking room.
Let's see if the story becomes better or worse with the next few episodes.

It was a bit confusing, Lunge genuinely seemed to be on vacation, yet he went all the way to Prague just to try to find a copy of the book. Anyway, he looks changed and does he even control his hand anymore? When the officer pointed it out, Lunge looked at it in a strange way.

Man, I don't know how to feel about giving the tape to Suk's mother. Johan is too smart: all he needs is talking.

There goes Johan manipulative line "Tell me anything you want."

That chief asking for advice from Lunge, might backfire on him.(Assuming Lunge cared about the case)

Seems Lunge going to enjoy his vacation.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

I’m really hoping that Lunge is in the right track and not ended up on Tenma as his suspect again.

So that author of the picture book might be Johan and Anna’s father. And if that’s the case he might be a psychotic and ended up abusing his children especially Johan.

Haha, finally Lunge has caught up to them. He's not my favorite character, but I'm interested in him helping piece together the bigger picture.

The song that played when he entered (Lunge's Theme, if you will) was epic. Someone let me know if they find out what it was.

Johan finding the tape first and recording over it was one of the angriest moments i've had while watching anime! Suk should of gave the tape to Grimer or Grimer should of got the tape sooner, so frustrating!

Anyone else bothered by how easy it is for random characters to make hospital visits? Lol. It happens so often in this show. Is that a European thing? A pre 2000s thing? Hospitals have strict access controls so it just kind of bothers me that 3 people with no relation to Mrs Suk can just...drop in. Haha.

17:25 Lunge thinks Suk is innocent because of its resemblance to Tenma''s case? Has he finally opened his eyes? Still he made some big discovery there with the sketchbook of the picture book containing sketches of what seems to be Johan, Anna and their mother.

Damn you Johan and your ability to overwrite tapes without the needed equipment! That is, assuming he did the whole process in that hospital room while knowing Tenma and Grimmer could show up at any moment....

So... Lunge "being on a vacation" was a joke, right? I mean, of all places in the world, he just happens to go to Prague? I probably missed the part where his investigation ends up leading him to visit the Czech Republic.

I can see how Lunge's stubbornness works in his character but it still feels contrived nevertheless. Also weird how he's on vacation, the writer could've used a better excuse to get him involved in the plot rn
