| Lunge confirmed weeaboo. Looks like Lunge ditched his daughter. Lunge really is giving up his family just to find Tenma. Welp...I can say that Johan's foster parents are almost certainly going to die for not taking the doctor's advice. Quite the build up episode we had here. The episodes coming up are going to get really intense I can almost guarantee it. 8/10 |
| Ahh Lunge, you cant be serious. She is your own daughter idiot. |
| So, I think I got the info I needed for why Johan was going or trying to get close to Schuwald. Looking back at what he orchestrated in the orphanage, and, later the money laundering bank, when he left, I think he will go for the kill of Schuwald in order to create a chaos, that might engulf the whole of Germany, especially the economy, since the people that talked to Lunge said that most of the companies and those associated with Schuwald(and his assets) were taking a close look at him and wanting to invest/trade/buy stocks(?). If that happens, or it already might have, there might be a (huge) stock drop if Schuwald is killed. I think this is what Johan was experimenting with his underground bank, and I think this is how Johan's mind is working, as a serial killer. He's removing ones that are close to the person, isolating them(see Wolf), then gets close to them, and, then, probably kills them in order to cause chaos/despair. Tenma sniper spot is laughable, and once a shot is taken, there's no escape whatsoever, and if there'll be no silencer, it's an even more easily detectable spot, whilst a gun might've done a better job with a silencer. However, I doubt he's going to kill him. |

| Idk meh episode. Not bad, not good. Just... is. |
 |
| Ah, so are the pictures in the ending supposed to be from the picture book? Interesting. 5/5 |
 |
| Lunge pissed me off |
 |
| Tenma's such a camper! |

| The only difference between Lunge and Johan is the fact that Lunge is relatively harmless to society because he found a fulfilling niche, which is to solve cases and catch his prey, his japanese impressions is what Johan does on a day to day basis, only ever utilised when doing detective work. Had he had even a pinch of anarchic desire, I really as so far in the series can't see why he couldn't become a murderer like Gillen's subjects. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Lunge is Tenma (in his head), he's a mess. He didn't even go to see his grandchild because he thought that Tenma wasn't close with his family. |

psygol said: The pictures of the ending are the ilustrations of that book, right? I like the ending song, it sounds a little funny. The tone is original. Yeah I though that too! Things are getting intense for the showdown at ceremony! |
 |
| I'm honestly confused on how lunge ever started a family...he doesn't seem like the type at all. That was just terrible of him to ditch his daughter like that. |
 |
| judging from the fact there's 30 episodes left i have a feeling things are not gonna go tenma's way. also that sniper spot is... questionable to say the least. it didn't look like he has a silencer, and he has no method of escape that won't give him away. that being said i'm not sure if he's gonna break bad and actually attempt to kill johan. |
im apollo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they/them pls  |
| Pretty sure Tenma doesn't really even care about getting caught. His whole approach to this up until now has been very self destructive. Likely as a result of his feeling guilt over saving Johan. He likely expects to be killed or sent to prison after this is over. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I had high hopes that Lunge will try to solve the problems with his family like he was going to do, but not to my surprise it seems his obsession was stronger and know acting like Tenma is an indication that he is Cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs. Like I said early when this man realize that his obsessing was for nothing and because of that he lost his family and credibility as an detective I think he really is going to end in an mental institution... |

| Oh Lunge you're the worst dad ever Time to roll the action, who's going to win? Well I don't think there's anyone going to win this xD |

"Signature removed"   |
| Lunge was hilarious this episode. I've transferred from sub to dub last episode and it's hilarious to see him imitating Tenma. The whole Japanese karaoke thing too The way the Japanese guys say 'domo' sounds more of a mockery than anything lmao. For some reason their singing seemed almost on point. |

| The right translation of the passage would be: "Look at me! Look at me! The monster in me is still growing!" And not "has grown this big"... I want Nina/Anna and Tenma to meet so badly!!! |
 |
| Watching this subbed but may have to re-watch it dubbed to appreciate the ridicule of Lunge. Lunge is currently my favorite character =D. Stop hatin' |
| Lunge was awesome. He decided to dump his family because catching Tenma comes first. And he is close to catching Johan too. I mean, his family dumped him first, so it makes sense to return the favor. Looks like Tenma has to wait for 2 days before killing Johan. We also get a bit of Johan's backstory in Czech. Looks like Johan had a parent who read that storybook to him every night before bed and tortured him beyond hell. This could have made him to seek ways to kill people. The food looks delicious too. |

 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Lunge and his next level profiling xD Good episode with some interesting aspects, like the analogy between a regular child and Johan. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Ohhh, so Lunge didn't went to see her daughter because Tenma himself had no connections to his own family. I wouldn't have picked up that if I hadn't read this thread. Anyway, he's nuts. Really curious about choosing the library to kill Johan. Judging by the previous episode, it seemed Johan also wanted that same spot. I think he's planning to kill them all, just like in the orphanage. |
 |
| I wonder where Lunge's wife gone, lol. Oh well, no hope for Johan's current parents. If only Tenma read that picture book... |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
pometlo said: I was really amazed at how well they nailed the Czech passage. Hell, there wasn't a single grammatical or spelling error even in the words Czech natives tend to mess up a lot. (The English subs weren't as accurate, but close enough, I guess. -.-) Also I love Tenma's choice of a location he's planning to shoot from. It shows he's just not suited to do the job. Either that, or he feels so miserable he actually wants to get captured/killed. Not only Czech, they also nailed the german. And the locations and feeling of 90s Germany are accurate and authentic. I'm impressed by the quality of research and attention to details in this anime. |
 |
| Thinking and acting like Tenma, wonder if Lunge will go anywhere with that. I’m seeing him more and more as a fool. And that hiding place of Tenma, seriously? A big guy on top of the shelf lol. |
| Even Lunge has a family, and a daughter at that. Huh, I wonder what their relationship was like 'cause right now it doesn't seem like they're on the best of terms. Dr. Tenma has a rifle and he's not afraid to use it!~ |
| the look in the eyes of lunge when he agreed to go that party rather than go to his own daughter were creepy, i mean, how much a man can be obsessed? and i'm having hard time to believe that tenma don't have close connection to his family is some kind of problem, i mean, i'm sure there's good reason for that and lunge ignores it, i hope he will found out about it and then regret he ditched his family just because of that. and the climax of the arc is closer than ever. the moment with lotte were priceless. |
| At this point Lunge is just too obssesed with Tenma/Johan that he will do anything to catch them. I'm also pretty sure that Tenma crafted his Johan assasination plan carefully this time, but it will most likely fail, |
| Ughhh I really want to know what was in that book. Tf was up with his parents though? |
 |
| Bro its about time lunge take a good look on himself and be like "damn maybe I am the psycho here huh" also, HOW. just HOW is johann brainwashing so many people so efficiently in so little time???? he doesnt miss a spot, everything is squeak clean with him. how????????? im thinking here, what if the content of the book is the ending sequence? a never ending cycle of evil, with one trying to erase the monster and by doing so, becoming the monster itself? |

   Skibbidy skib skib skaa say "NO" to fanservice |
| We're not even halfway through yet, so something's gonna stop Tenma from killing Johan. Wonder what that's gonna be. Maybe surprise entrance from Anna? We haven't seen her in a while |
 |
| Bruh "I'm Tenma".... What is with this dude? Also, not the doctor constantly putting himself in deadly situations... |
| oh wow, that book reveal was super interesting. Is that connected to the visuals for the ending? |
 |
| Lol at Lunge mimicking Tenma |
| For some reason Lunge Pisses me off. Every time he comes up in the screen. My mood gets bad. |
| i'm japanese i'm japanese i'm tenma i'm tenma and i don't care about my family mannn lunge is even a bitch at his family, i thought he cared and the reveal of the picture book,, one step closer to johan's past ig |
| Lunge doing the 'I'm a japanese person' really gave off the classic Weeaboo vibes. His daugher who just wanted to show his grandchild really doesn't deserve such a shitty, idiotic and negligent dad who possibly wasted his only chance at reconnection. |
 |
| Lunge ditched his daughter and grandchild for a karaoke night with the boys. Now seriously, the whole "I'm Tenma" act was so good. Top-notch comedy right there. |
| I’m still thinking about how Lunge ditched meeting his daughter and her son just so he could live out Tenma’s life and mindset |
 |
| Ever since Johan began to get more involved I've been more inclined to watch more, but the story's moving really slow again and doesn't care to advance the mystery further. All we've really been seeing for the last 3 or 4 eps are characters repeating things we already know. Any emphasis they're trying to put on a character or message isn't working effectively |
| I realized that Lunge's character terrifies me. It's just very chilling to see that some people do think that what they believe in/think is straight facts and the only true reality. I guess just making this realization explains many things. Lunge is not concerned with revealing the truth, he's only concerned with proving what he thinks is the truth. Also, these close calls put me at the edge of my seat every single time. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Some more development for Lunge. Not necessarily for the best, but it's still development! He's gotten even more obsessed with Tenma. Or Johan to be exact. The quotes from the picturebook seem interesting. Definitely a key factor relating to Johan. |
 |
| Lunges obsession with Tenma is extremely concerning 😭 Solve your issues with your fam, dude. |
