This is one twist that fell rather flat. Try though they did to be deep, it really did not work.

Despite the mindf, still don't believe Martin will kill Eva.

Another character touched by Franz and possibly 511 Kinderheim introduced imo. What a snake's tongue he has.

The fact that Tenma saw a clock and then a soccer ball on sale after the people he met talked about those items;

The fact that Johan knows where Tenma will be and how the messages he leaves fit the circumstances;

The fact that Johan's creepy friend somehow "gleaned" the specifics of Martin's tragic life, etc. etc.

Whatever connects all of this together must be profound.

Martin's life is fucked up, his mother freezing to death because he left her sleep on the road and her girlfriend killing herself after being caught cheating on him.
That guy was annoying, that Johan wannabe.

I didn't like the nudity scene in this episode.If they wanted to add scenes like that, they should have done it long time ago, now it just feels out of place and ruins the mood of the show.

Anyway, the new guy is a Johan amateur, Johan is so effective because of his ability to maintain complete calm while talking to people, this guy enjoys himself too much (smilling and being proud of himself) and this make him less effective.

aaaaand of course they gonna give us the dumb cliche where "the guy doesn't kill the girl, instead he protect her and they try to escape together and he end up dead because of her" instead of just shooting the damn bitch.


anyway, i like the new crazy guy, he's like a Johan on cocaine.

Did you even watch the show? There was a fuckin sex/rape scene in front of a kid in here ffs, also they already showed us nudity before this, you must've been watching a censored version or some shit.

Huh? I sure don't remember nudity been portrayed like this till this episode. What similar episode are you thinking about? Also this show portrays disturbing things, like that sex scene in front of a kid, but not in a way that seems like fan-service or shocking for its own sake.
It's a dark show, but also with this classy feel to it which makes it different from most anime.

Yeezus Martin past was tragic as hell... no wonder he didn’t kill Eva he is trying to atone for his past decisions... well that is what I think. The question is will he survive this whole ordeal and maybe have a positive outcome?

On a side note:
I know he didn’t have time but the Doc should have learned some CQB

The new guy really dissected Martin. He was pretty much naked right there...at that point Martin was too busy fighting himself to beat the shit out of the new guy.

I can't say I want Eva to die. She's irritating and a mess, but under all of that is a heavily damaged person. Martin may very well be the kind of person she needs right now- that is, if she doesn't end up pushing him away too, like she has with everyone else. Even so, I hold her responsible for bringing Johan and that man together. She knew better than that.

I don't know I still won't forgive Eva since it was her who made Tenma a fugitive accusing him of the initial murders, I won't forgive her.

She also says that Tenma ruined her life even when she was the worst bitch that has ever existed with Tenma, it's just... infuriating.

Being so dependant of somebody to be someone bothers me a lot, so it's not like she has my respect in any way, she suffers because she needs a husband with a big title to be somebody and that's ridiculous, she is an idiot and I don't like her, even in the state that she is, I mean, I have felt bad too, but her situation doesn't cause anything to me.

I like the fact that she has learned a bit of her mistakes but it's not like she is going to get my sympathy any time soon, it was her trantrum what did put Tenma in the situation he is.

For gain my sympathy, she should starting try to ask forgiveness to Tenma and stop being so mean to him, say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for when I threw your promise ring, when I dumped you in the worst way possible and for no reason, I'm sorry for trying to manipulate you when I tried to date you back and you rejected me, and I'm sorry for slandering you to the cops and make you a fugivite, she should also confess and say that she made a false accusation of him, she should confess that she slandered him, accepting her time in prison, but it's not like she is going to do all that.

She risked her life once because of Tenma, but that doesn't mean a thing, she just wants her husband to get back her status, and she wants Tenma because is the one that has loved sincerely her ass so it's like the one she thinks she will be able to manipulate.

I say I don't like her, I don't like her and I never will.

Martin is fundamentally a good guy, he deserves better. He shouldn't have beaten the shit out of Tenma tho.

Honestly, I think the new guy is annoying. If he's supposed to be a new Johan, he's doing a bad job. I hope he dies.

Martin's life was so messed up. I feel vs for her. Eva doesn't deserve someone like him.

Guess, Tenma need more physical training from the Soldier. Speaking of the Soldier, I hope he appears again.

Oh, guess that's glasses man is not Franz Bonaparta.

Room 606, huh? Guess Johan prefers another room...

I don't understand why they needed Eva to point out Johan. It's not like his face isn't already all over the place in the media, when he was lurking around Schubert. Makes no sense.

I don't get the attraction of Eva, it's already a mystery to me, why Tenma was dating her and now that guy who didn't even like her in the first place suddenly acts like a jealous lover and wants to protect her.

That new guy is disgusting.

Well, that's a valid point. Maybe Johan is using Eva to lure out Tenma.
Anyway, since Martin is as good as dead, he should've shot both Monsters. But he wouldn't make it out of the hotel alive then. It looks like brainwashing was effective and his desire to redeem himself by saving Eva was stronger.

I feel really bad for Martin it's obvious that he has a lot of unaddressed trauma. The new guy really freaks me out but he is very intriguing, I hope that we see more of him in this last quarter. I really didn't like Eva this episode she was being rude and judgemental for no reason.

Even though Martin made some terrible choices, I feel quite sorry for the guy. He most likely could've led a normal life if not for his mother and ex-girlfriend being addicts (alcohol and drugs).

Great. A Johan wannabe...

And now that I think of it, Tenma really should have learned some CQC when he was learning how to shoot with that military dude.

So Martin is into women who are lost causes like his mother, huh? Oedipus complex sure is a bitch.

And by the way, why did those people need Eva to point out who Johan was? I mean, he was the right hand of one of Europe's most important men for fuck's sake.

Poor Martin. He expreienced so hard stuff. His story is so sad. Now he's just empty.

Why Johan and him had no direct contact? Maybe they will have.

I have the feeling Tenma and Eva will encounter each other soon but...I guess it won't end very glad.

Still don't like Eva, she's the best when it comes to disappointment. Always have a knack to ruin her own character's redemption. Would be joyous to see her wish to just be killed come true.

The more interesting part of the ep is when Martin talks to this kid, based on how the kid is surprised at times when he confirms a fact regarding Martin, he's definitely been taught all this information about Martin by Johan. Hell, he's also using some of the speech magic that Johan uses to psychologically mess with Martin.

The last scene where Martin tries his best not to look at the face of the devil as he walks passed Johan was tense.
