| amazing amazing amazing. |
| Kyoko starts to call his name so the doctor puts tape over her mouth. "Now I'm going to try injecting pesticide." OMG. The doctor is a true scientist. |
| Wow Toshio is a heartless son of a bitch! "The subject regains conciousness" Seriously she's your wife dammit even if you don't like her you shouldn't run tests on her! I felt very sorry for her. |
 |
| He used his own wife for experiment. I'm not sure if I had to feel bad. The doctor already on his own limit, but still that was heartless to do. |
| poor kyoko Q.Q |
| To understand the body of the shiki he experimented on the body of his own wife, damn such a great episode, defiantly my favorite one so far from the show. |
  |
| The experimenting on Kyouko was brutal. Ozaki's sanity is slipping away. It was bad enough as a doctor he had to give in to the superstition of the Risen being the reason for the increased morality in the village. This is my favourite episode so far since it's what I was expecting most out of the show. |
| HOLY FUCK. HOLY FUCK. HOLY FUCK. Oh man... I would've said, "Well, it's just an ordinary horror torture scene." But that was his friggin WIFE, man. He didn't even bother to comfort her or explain to her what was going on; he didn't even say a word to her, did he? He just experimented with her and killed her, ignoring her whimpering and screaming and crying and that was his friggin WIFE, man. yeezus... I completely understand his perspective, why he did it; I'd even say it was necessary. But my goodness is it terrible... I can't tell if Toshio earned respect or fear out of this. That + insight on the world of the Shiki + Megumi bitchslapping Murao makes this easily the best episode of the series. I doubt another episode could top this. |

| Did he really need to stick her with pesticides? Didn't even spare any last words for his wife lol. What an episode. |
 |
| So this is what this show is aiming for... Showing how disgusting one can be when driven to the extreme. I used to think Ozaki was a really brave and cool person now I am confused for even thinking that. He didn't have to go that far. He checked her to an extent which wasn't even necessary. He went mad with his curiosity. Now I think he's going to turn into an evil guy, after-all... But then again, humans perform all kinds of experiments on animals first. And they don't hesitate to that. Keeping in mind, someone has to do the dirty work, but it is difficult keeping your senses while doing that dirty work. Episodes like these make me wonder who is at wrong, humans or shiki. Or maybe both. This is probably going to turn into a masterpiece, and I am so watching it. EDIT - I just the manga version of it, and while just as graphic, it didn't seem as brutal. Ozaki's actions were more explained, instead of the cruelty he did in the anime ver. It still felt wrong, but you know, it felt like he was really trying to find a cure there instead of what seemed in the anime. Still brutal though, that much is true. |

| That was a great episode. I found the end really funny, somehow. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| I feel so bad for Kyoko, it seemed she didn't even realize she was a shiki and she looked so afrai. |
| The doctor sure was scary. The story is moving along very nicely now. |
| Best episode so far. The doctor isn't playing around. I suspected as much when Kyouko fell victim to shiki. It took a while for the story to develop but it was totally worth it. I would or at least i would want to do what the doctor did. When the survival is at stake, these kinds of reaction is natural. |
| That experimentation scene was fantastic. The music, the cold hearted way Toshio just systematically injected drug after drug..... man, I still have chills.... This anime man.... |
| Thank you doctor Toshio Ozaki for keeping me with this anime, seriously the only good character in the whole show. Good episode. |
| Sucks for her..................... |

U wanna know who killed his wife...the Shiki killed his wife...she had died 5 days ago AMEN! hear hear! those demons killed his wife, and he he knew that. but even so when she was whispering his name he melted a bit, but had to stay strong. that's why he put the tape here. why is it that no-one understands he had to kill every emotion for himself in order to go through this? he's NOT cruel. in fact it's just the opposite. he was willing to do that to himself to save the village. ----- so this is "seinen" part of the show...not gonna lie it was pretty intense, especially since i can't even handle PG-13 naruto violence. but toshio had to do what he had to do. |

I completely agree ... it was definitely unpleasant ... whilst he was experimenting on his "dead" wife. - I got so many chills. Goodness ... this episode was top notch, so intense. |
 |
| I don't know why people felt sad for Megumi when she just when and tortured her "best friend" by killing her dad. And the Doctor has finally snapped, now he's become just as much of a monster as them. |
 |
| That was pretty gruesome to watch. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Wow Ozaki is really broken down now. I felt sorry for Kyouko going through all that torture. Intense episode! |
| so, doc went crazy. all hope is on the monk now i actually have no idea how this will end with the way things are going, even the main character died |

| They finally got to the "morally ambiguous" part that I was promised... and fuck, is it disturbing. This is the first real gore we're seeing, and it's awesome. But what was up with all of those panty shots and boob-jiggling in this episode? That felt kinda weird... I really hope this episode will set a new tone for the rest of the series. It's definitely awesome so far. |
| Shiki are not human, no need to feel bad about what the doctor did. |
Hoppy said: welp it was sad to watch him torture his wife looks like hes lost any sense of remorse and in terms of doing it towards your wife it will breed a cold hearted shiki hunter. It doesnt feel that bad since she is already dead and more than likely wouldve got hungry and tried to attack him anyway but the thing is how does he explain this to everyone and the monk i hope they come to the realization soon and not fault him for what hes done The experimentation was extremely painful to watch, I also think that he should listened to Kyoko prior to his gruesome experimentation, he could have gotten some information like maybe that she wasn't completely dead. Monk comes in shocked senseless at the most likely pulverized Kyoko with blood everywhere, he's like "Toshio has gone mad". He may also have found a way to destroy them but it won't be pleasant to see if that's the case. |
| This was very cruel to do this to his wife of all people |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| When Kyoko opened her rotten eyes, it's really creepy!!!!! And I really feel bad for her. But it seems that Dr. Ozaki needs to do that. I think the monk's father knows something and I hope the two siblings wouldn't get hurt. Don't let that Doctor from ebisu clinic enter!!!! |

| Did all the commenters here just forget it was Kyoko's fault that the old lady died before she was the one to invited the rest in? =_= It's not shocking he chose her, not at all. Not only did she screw him over, even if unintentionally, she was the perfect opportunity since he didn't have to deal with digging up someone else. Maybe next time she wouldn't be inviting strangers in a home that really wasn't hers. If anything this shows that until the hunger takes over, they're very much like their human selves personality-wise. It's the hunger (as stated earlier) that makes them seemingly incompatible with humans... at least so far. I would agree that it was dumb of him to NOT talk to her first. But, we've established the doctor isn't all that smart, common sense nor street-wise. |
| This episode is legitimately the first time I've experienced "horror" in anime. It wasn't scary, but the entire concept was disturbing as fuck. A necessary evil, I suppose, but man... doc's definitely beginning to go off the deep end. |

| WHAT IN THE FUCK Christ |
| I feel like the doctor has gone crazy or something and he doesn't even think about or consider his wife. I'm like... Did he ever even love her? He's drawing her blood samples and just testing her o-o He even covered her mouth with tape once she figured out how to talk... ohmygod. HE FUCKING KILLED HER OMG WTF. |
 |
| This should have happened much earlier tbh. |
| I think I need a breather after this. Best episode in the series, no contest there, this is already competing with Aoi Bungaku series as my favorite horror Anime of all time, if it continues like this, it will easily take the crow for the creepiest Anime I've ever seen. I'm both disturbed and in love with this majestic, disgustingly brutal scenery. I'm glad they did not censor a lot of it. I felt sorry for his wife all the way through, now that we know how serious Ozaki is about finishing off these Vampires, he might go insane after what he just did. |
| Fricking finally something interesting happens, about time. The pacing is ridiculously slow and not that suspenseful. |
| Wow, this episode was disturbing. I kinda felt bad for Kyoko. Honestly, I wished it was Megumi on the dissecting table instead of her. |

| Okay, when I said Ozaki was going insane I didn't think it was to such a degree. Poor Kyouko, he completely tortured and butchered her, that was very hard to see. And while I assume his conclusions were correct, didn't he jump on them way too quickly ? I mean, he was torturing Kyouko, of course she was terrorized. At least now we know shikis can be killed... Though the means are incredibly violent. Actually, if humans start doing that, they'll be even worse than the vampires who only bite their victims. Now I wonder what will Muroi do now that he's seen how far Ozaki has gone. |
 |
| the doctor's crazy damn it, he did some awful shits but there was no other way but damn :") I'm guessing the last method worked  |
 |
| What the fuck... Why did it have to be his wife. That's seriously fucked up. This dude has been weird af from the start and making confusing decisions. And now he ended up here, what a fucking loser. |
 |
| Somebody got to do the dirty work.... |
| Still, as I want to sympathize with Kyoukyo, she got it coming by silently cheating(?) with Tamaki. Well.....the show didn't even tell what she's doing with him... |
