Tenma exposes himself way to much. I wonder what would happen if that cop didn't "turn good" (can't think of a good term to say =P).
So Naruto...err... I mean, Dieter is still going to travel with him. I was actually expecting Dieter to stay at that village.

It was pretty obvious the cop was going to turn good. Predictable episode is predictable, once again. Also, is it really very intelligent to bring a young boy with you when you're a fugitive murder suspect? Sigh. Episode is only OK.

I thought at first that Dieter would stay at the village and try to become hokage...but I guess he decided to go with Tenma after all.

The episode was bad, everything was predictable: cop turning good, tenma saving the patient etc...
But I must say that I was really expecting Naruto to stay at the village. I thought this lame ep would be made to get rid of him...
It was like a filler.... No story development.

"I thought it was him because he was Asian." lol k.

And I also thought Naruto was gonna stay in the village to be hokage especially when the doctor ran after him and kept him there.

In this episode Tenma made very clear he's going to kill the monster.
At first he just kept saying he wanted to capture Jona, but at the end of this episode he made it clear his determination to hunt down and kill Jona. Wonder if he can pull it off, though.

btw, love the episode, as it in a way proves Tenma's determination. He could have stayed there and lived with Dieter in the village, form a family, escape from the cops, and leave his old life behind, but he didn't. Also, when doctor Schumman said to Tenma that he could stay and save lifes, I thought that's exactly what Tenma is trying to do by hunting down Johna.

And yeah, I can't remember how to spell the monster guy's name.

Well, this episode further proves to me that Tenma is exactly what a doctor should be. Despite the fact that he plans to kill Johann he still hasn't lost himself and I think that's important. I guess you could consider this filler, but considering the future implications of Tenma's comments at the end I don't think it actually is.

for a minor side-story, it was a clear depiction of human emotion and the distinction between good and evil intentions; Tenma's conscience will not allow him to forsake a life regardless of his own personal situation and the cop who's mother oversteps his duty as an officer of the law.

well made episode that further provides us Tenma's determination to not only complete his goal (whatever that may be) but also to continue to uphold his 'way of life', which is to save others in need.

very much agreed. although, he could just be spouting thoughts to show his seriousness, he is obviously striving for something along the lines of serving death.

once again, great series ^^

Seriously, you think he would at least have an alias figured out by now.


Predictability aside, I really enjoyed this ep. It solidified Tenma's resolve to kill Johan despite it going against his nature and everything he believes in.

Filler doesn't need to be bad, Fumoffu was a 13 episode filler series between Full Metal Panic 1 and 2 but I personally liked it a lot more than the series itself. Anyways a pretty good episode, just unsure where exactly Tenma is heading, as well as what Johann's complete scheme is... I mean this is post WWII Germany... they are saying he is the leader of men because he is persuasive... I'm pretty sure that after Hitler his type wasn't exactly the most popular type of personality in Germany, just saying.

Another filler but it's true Tenma finally determined his struggle with Johan. And is ready for him now for real.

About Episode:

Dr. Schumann was really nice doctor first I notice that he was really strict and so on. But when he find out some guy left patient to his care. Haha he goes to chase him kind of cool.

Also that bar scene when the Hainz came in and asked who Tenma is and doctor saved him by lying out that his another doctor Cheng, haha nice thinking there.

This episode also thought that Tenma can made evil go way from a person I mean that Petra didn't like doctors and did not open door until later when Tenma talked with her and said he make mistakes too. That's true especially resurrecting Johan.

Luckily that cop changed his mind arresting Tenma. And it was relieved that Petra survived from that operation. Even though Tenma is now escaping cops he is getting more and more skillfull in operations. Doing surgery without certaiin things is amazing for Tenma.

Hopefully we get new plot episode soon.

Still 5/5 for this episode.

another great episode :D

it was kinda a filler, but i really enjoyed just as much as the gun training camp episode ^^

Schumman is just as kind as Tenma!

can't believe both also wanted to rise as chairman, only Schumman's wife dies along the way.

if Schumman didn't persist on that lady's house she would have been dead.

i'm glad Schumman is understandable, he probably thinks Tenma was framed or something.

and wow i thought Dieter would be left behind, glad he followed in the end!!

and lol does Dieter really sounds like Naruto? i don't watch the show tbh XD

she kinda sounds like Romi Paku at times :P

next episode is now about Eva!!

is everything that's not a climax considered "filler" now? jesus christ. there was definitely development in this episode, just no huge reveals like previous episodes.

great episode. was also hoping dieter would stay, i imagine at some point he'll have to end up in the way of tenma.

Agreed. Definitely not a filler. I really enjoyed the episode, but somehow, I've been thinking Tenma is too much of a great guy... Isn't he too good to be real?

Aww, even though Dieter not staying at the village is a a unpredictable move, which makes the viewers more surprised, I don't think that is a good idea if I was Tenma. The kid could have lived a pretty good and carefree life there. Now, he'll annoy the viewer if he gets in Tenma's way and he'll make me worry about his safety. :/

^I think that's the point. Tenma keeps telling Dieter to not follow him, but I guess he doesn't have the heart to ditch him.

Anyway, I think this series does the semi-episodic format well. It's a lot easier to pick up and watch in small spurts that way as well, as each episode has a fairly complete story while still carrying along the plot. I liked that somewhat lighter tone this episode had.

Still, Tenma has decided to kill Johan. I don't really think it's his place to do so. I mean, it's not that I don't understand why, but eh... Maybe he hopes to invoke self defense somehow? I kinda doubt it, though, and "invoking it" is dubious anyway, since the goal should be to capture rather than kill if it's self defense.

It's just that that the series set the bar for a normal episode pretty high and I personally didn't like this one that much. Definitely not filler tought. Tenma's confession at the end was important.

Yaay, every thing goes just like I want. It is so good to see Tenma with someone rather than being lone wolf in this world. However, I don't think Deter will stay with him for long.

Personally I absolutely loved this episode. Everytime we get to see Tenma save lives I always smile. Of course it's also quite conflicting as we know that Tenma will eventually have to kill Johan. I'm really excited to see where the series goes, what you guys and gals?

I really enjoyed watching this episode. It's so interesting to see the ways in which Tenma effects those would himself. It's also interesting to watch the conflict between Tenma's desire to save lives and his desire to kill Johan. I'm really excited to see where this series will go. What about you guys and gals?

Interesting that Dieter is still with Tenma, gotta wonder where he'll end up. It seems like Tenma's goal now is more personal than it was to begin with - he's out for blood. Also, I can't be the only one that's creeped out by those drawings in the ending credits.
