Eva is the most realistic bitch in anime history, I like that.


Exactly. She's a great character, even though I bloody hate her.


What they said.

Anyway, it seems we're setting up for an escape from prison.
Foppery and whim is all I need in life

If Tenma escapes from prison, he will be once again on the run from police. He is never in a win/win situation. I feel sorry for the man.

Hrmm I actually really can't stand Eva's type, she blames all of her misfortunes on others and somehow believes she is superior to other people. She also seems to think that Tenma is hers after throwing him away like a piece of trash... or rather his proposal. Also not sure why Tenma never realized what a huge bitch she was when they were dating... Even if she is the Director's daughter I'm sure he could have slid by without having to suck up to her.

I really don't understand why Tenma was ever with Eva. At first I thought maybe she might have had some good points once upon a time and that they were just washed away when her life went to crap, but those flashbacks just proved she was always a stuck up, blood sucking bitch. I thought for sure she was going to smack the sandwich out of the kid's hand. And now what, did the lawyer's words actually mean something to her or does she just think she's gonna get back in good favor with Tenma by testifying? Maybe she and Roberto will have a face off and shoot each other to death. Okay, okay, not likely, but it would be nice.

As for Tenma's confession, I knew he was doing it to escape but it still killed me to hear him say it.

Very good episode!

So I wonder how these escape plan that one guy who pretended to be sick is going to go was it in 3 or 5 days that they plan to escape?

Roberto did his thing again. It's amazing how Robeto can so easily get any job he wants or connections some people and these people will know him too. His character development is excellent.

So he talk with Tenma and seems like Tenma confessed because otherwise Eva would been in danger. And another reason was to escape and get transferred to prison. But I am pretty sure knowing Roberto is going to eliminate Eva. Did Tenma confess or not.

This basically don't help him much. But Eva's should know Roberto's voice why she didn't understand man who is speaking is Roberto. I mean she knows hear voice lol.

Tenma seemed really not caring type man in past so I can understand why Eva didn't like him so much. Because basically Tenma copying some notes on Magazine when Eva wanted to talk him it's rude to women. So I can understand her pain but not her maniac side.

That Lawyer also seems to get angry really quickly and I wonder if his anger is something to do with his father or family. Looks like Eva is going to prove Tenma's innocent also. After that lawyer told something about his life.

So Tenma confessed. Didn't see that coming. Also those flash backs about Eva. She is and was a huge bitch.

Can't wait to see what Captain Buggy Milch and Tenma are going to do.

I'll be honest, even I felt sad when the sandwiches fell onto the grass.

I don't understand why Eva wouldn't recognize Roberto's voice. After all, she slept with the guy and was threatened, slapped and even shot by him.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure she won't die even by the end of the series.

I hold to the belief that recognizing a person through their voice is anime logic, so I actually preferred it this way. Given, Eva might have been threatened by Roberto before but she's simply not shaken enough to the level of being traumatized. To begin with, Eva's meeting with Roberto is brief and I reckon she met more guys before and after Roberto. In real life term, it's been 20+ episodes since the incident, in Monster, that's pretty much a solid few months if not years. Heck, she even met a psychologist to deal with her alcoholic lifestyle rather than her 'possible trauma'. She doesn't care enough to register Roberto's voice into her memory bank. Same goes for our real world imo.

Thumbs up for Eva being a classical portrayal of haughty rich daughter. While I can't attest to it's realism since a classical portrayal is Still fiction, at least she's not in her teens in a romcom show with blonde mega twintails going 'Ohohohoho' all the time. She's as realistic as a normal woman prostituting herself for some hard cash in desperate time. I mean, just because we hate bitches irl, that doesn't mean we have to hate them in fiction when they're just being faithful to the stereotype. Heck, applaud them for the effort.

Nevertheless, I do wonder whether criminals who confess roughly on the same day actually get sent to the prison on the same day as well. Unless there's a set date for transferring criminal to prison, why did Milch say 'five days' later? Else even if Tenma knew the When, he don't know How to match up with Milch's plan.

Eva is a character that can only serve to improve the story. Rating the anime lower because of her is bad taste.

She's unlikeable, but she's more than just an archetypal "bitch". As we've seen throughout the anime, there's more to her than the way she treats people, as illustrated by her reaction after the scene with the sandwiches.

You might not like her, but that doesn't necessarily make her a bad character.

She has also consumed a considerable amount of alcohol before, during, and after her run-in with Roberto, which may have clouded her memory a bit. Also, considering how liberally she consumes alcohol, the chances of her being at least mildly drunk when making that phone call is high.

Didn't Robert say he couldn't use his right arm anymore? I could have sworn I saw him opening the door with his right hand when he left the interview with Tenma.

And yes, Eva is a A grade bitch. What does she have against picnics? -__-

Another cliffhanger, aww! Tenma is going to run away from car, right?

But I find those scenes with Eva retrospective very touching, lets hope he will arrive in time to save her.
But I have very very bad feeling - her character almost screams itself of redemption in death... Tough and not pleasant times are coming I guess..
