| I am sad. and happy. and terrified. I want to give Kayo a hug =[ |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| The breakfast scene was nicely done. Kayo may not have a reason before but she should show some resistance to her mother's abuse now; as she have experienced happiness and there are people who care for her and support her. It should be easy to corner the killer now that Satoru knows his hideout. And I'm less suspicious of the teacher now. |

Malise said: Kenya also intervenes with action that would cause the timeline swirl out of control when he stopped Satoru from pushing Kayo's mother down the stairs. Yes, of course, you can say that killing Kayo's mother would be morally wrong thing to do, but I also think it would swirl the original timeline out of control (and beyond the time traveler's ability to predict the changes). Imagine if Satoru succeeded in killing her. That would be juvenile detention for him, Kayo's would be send to some orphanage. Perhaps never be murdered. Murders would still happen however there is a chance that Satoru and Kayo wouldn't be touched by those, Sachiko wouldn't get in situation where she is targeted by the killer as all events would play out differently. I think that Kenya simple wanted to prevent that his friend becomes a murderer. It could save Kayo and change therefore the future drastically, but it could also have a great impact for Satoru aswell. He could be send to an institution for difficult educable kids. That would change his own future drastically, too . Malise said: It almost feels like Kenya wants to use Satoru to do something very specific - perhaps stop the murders, but there is a chance he oversees the actual process and prevents certain actions to be taken. I think that Kenya tries to use him as a tool to prevent the murder cases. He went nearly crying after Satoru managed to help Hinanzuki Kayo. That was something, he (Kenya) could not manage to do. Malise said: I am not sure what to think about the derelict bus hideout - it seemed like Kenya was only one apart Satoru and two future murder victims who knew about the hideout. On the other hand, it seems that killer used the bus as hideout before while not having an idea Kayo is in there - this explains why Kayo wasn't attacked by the killer. The bus hideout was the perfect place for killing the first victim. She would be at the killers mercy and helpless, too. The killer did use this bus as hideout for his own sake aswell. But he did not realise that Kayo was there at that night. If Kenya wanted the killing cases to happen, he could easily use this information for his own advantage. But he did not do that. Malise said: Also, if Kenya can time-travel, it is surprising he never acts directly and instead seems to be manipulating event through Satoru. Perhaps he didn't traveled back in time after all, but then where he is in the future though? If Kenya is simply a genius kid who figured everything out, it doesn't explain what he did for the remaining 18 years without being targeted by murdered (not for being a girl, but for knowing too much) and while he didn't acted on knowledge he seems to have. Even if Kenya possesses the power for revival, his own kind of nature would be very difficult for him in case of preventing the killing cases to happen. He is more like an observer and it seems like he is not use to act directly. |

You're the one who can't get over someone else's opinion. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism. If people have the freedom to say that Steins;Gate is better, which I agree is better but is totally irrelevant to the discussion of Boku Ga's latest episode then I also have the freedom to criticize them too for bringing up the same regurgitated crap over and over again. It's not a one-way street. It's annoying to see the same people come back and say that Steins;Gate is better, why don't they create their own thread where they can bitch about how superior SG is to Boku Ga. You are the one that wrote "fuck yourselves" first to them it's in the quote itself. I was the one returning the words, but I apologize anyway. I don't usually read the forums. So I just saw your comment full of hate, but now I understand your anger. What I don't understand is why you are so rude with them, you can tell them what you think without using insults. I apologize too. That's just how I talk most of the time. I am sharp-tongued and don't really take into consideration how it comes across to others, I'm not insulting Steins;Gate or their favorite series, I just find it annoying that they continuously regurgitate the same complaints over and over again. Steins;Gate is definitely a masterpiece and worthy of a higher rating and it currently has on MAL and IMDb but I feel as if Boku Ga is being overshadowed for its potential as a good series per se. We can enjoy all these series without them having to compete and compare. Although, it's natural to compare series, I'm guilty of that too, I still give a chance to series that have great potential and do my best to go into a series without prejudice. |

| After this episode I really hope Satoru manges to save Kayo in the end. An end with Kayo dying would be f*****g horrible and sadistic after all the hardships she endured. |

| again, it doesnt matter if it is obvious to the viewers. ppl seem to forget that mystery is about the motives rather than the reveal of who did it. in most literature the culprit is usually obvious. if u have enough critical thinking skills most mystery media is obvious. the real mystery is WHY. besides if it is the teacher thats more surprising to the characters rather than to us. |

That was something, he (Kenya) could not manage to do. Another thing is that Kenya actually knew about the abuse all along and did nothing. He was in the best position to help. He is popular, highly intelligent, fairly above the other kids in many aspects, yet relies on Satoru's to take an active action while he stays in the shadows manipulating events as he sees fit. I would be very suprised Kenya isn't going to be revealed as a major player in whole Satoru vs. killer grand game. moodie said: again, it doesnt matter if it is obvious to the viewers. ppl seem to forget that mystery is about the motives rather than the reveal of who did it. in most literature the culprit is usually obvious. if u have enough critical thinking skills most mystery media is obvious. the real mystery is WHY. besides if it is the teacher thats more surprising to the characters rather than to us. I think HOW is the mystery - how is Satoru going to stop the killing. Because killer so far has been both untraceable and unstoppable, Satoru despite his time traveling ability didn't managed to actually foil the killers actions. So far, he merely delayed the murders and Satoru still don't know who killer is. |

| I found this episode average. |
| Currently this show's highest top 5!!! DAMN! Epic Mom/Parent confrontation cliffhanger! never ever failing suspense/intense throughout the whole 23 mins! awesome! 5/5. |

Kenya is not used to act in a direct way. Besides his position he always stood in the shadows. He always did observe, but did not react about the problem to be solved. His kind of nature is his biggest problem. I think that Kenya really wanted to help Hinanzuki Kayo, but he was unable to do something because of his own kind of character. Thats why he was very happy to see Satoru help Hinazuki. I still think that Kenya possesses the same or similar power then Satoru and I think he "plays" on the side from Satoru. Malise said: I would be very suprised Kenya isn't going to be revealed as a major player in whole Satoru vs. killer grand game. I also doubt that Kenya is not involved in the case, either as someone who wants to prevent the events to happen or as someone who wants to prevent that the events itselfs will change. We will see about that in the next episodes, I guess. |

| Other than the breakfast scene, what got to me the most was when Kayo flinched in response to Sachiko raising her hand. After years of horrible abuse, it’s become a reflex to react in that sort of way. It’s like instinct at that point. Really horrible, and very sad. Something that’s going to take years and years to recover from(if she’s even able to), and I just hope Kayo has some kind of happy ending when this show is done and over with. Poor girl. :( Anyway, this was a very emotional episode. And one of the best so far. As much as I like Airi, I find the past scenes much more compelling than the present. Sachiko is mother of the year, btw. Don’t know what happened to Satoru’s dad, but if he actually left a woman like her…well, that guy sure is a loser. |
chakracat said: I thought it was gonna be rushed BUT Dem transitions Dat music Dem themes Dat suspension And I actually teared up when Kayo cried, I haven't cried to an anime since After Story. Holy fucking shit 11/10 I'm gonna fucking die when this show ends. Yeah. This anime is shaping up to be better than After Story. Absolutely Outstanding so far. |
| Breakfast scene :'( Why is this show so good omg Also, thriller scenes are so incredible. Nothing scary happened much in this episode, other than finding a bag full of things to kill/kidnap the children, but I felt so worried and terrified. The music is so A+. Onto next episode!! |
| Okay who did NOT get choked up at that breakfast scene at the end? Man that one hit me hard. It's such a simple scene but they've built up Kayo so much that damn it that hits you right in the feels. Also I'm beginning to think the teacher is the bad guy. This anime just might get a 10/10 from me when its over but a lot can change here in the final 4 episodes. |
 |
| Sachiko: Am I in the way? Satoru: Yeah!(I said that out loud!) Kayo: Are you stupid? Loved the episode! The cliffhanger is something I can live with. Not as cruel as the previous ones. 5/5 |
PM me if you want me to reply, I don't check the forums again after I reply |
| Go Satorou mom....u the best. Kayo getting teary eyed and crying voice was so authentic that it got me chills... |
| I guess the killer was angry coz he "lost" his 1st victim, so he had to change his plans. So the killer have all planned already and the bus is his hiding place, so the question is, what he is going to do now? |
 |
| Hmmm,.. all this talk about Kenya having the same powers as Satoru makes me wonder,.. is it not in fact Satoru's mom who has the same powers? Think about it, her involvement in all the cases, even 18 years later, her unusually understanding treatment of Satoru and the other kids, and most of all her "youkai" skills. Hereditary transmission of such powers would make a lot more sense too, than powers being distributed across two random kids of one generation in a single class. Badalight said: People only say the teacher is a red herring because it's too obvious... except there is no other viable murderer. I think a lot of people are going to be greatly disappointed. The teacher might be a viable suspect, but he is still not a likely one. There's literally nothing pointing in his direction other than the flag on his role in the anime. I think a critical point this episode, missed apparently by most people, is how Satoru passes Aya (victim No. 2), while she uses the "courage" line. It means she too has a connection to Yuuki. It seems more and more likely that Yuuki was in fact the acomplice. Jemuzu said: That scene where Hinazuki cries is so full of emotion, such a strong reaction to such a normal thing. Yup, I have quite a high tolerance when it comes to scenes like that, but even I had a hard time watching that. Amazingly done. tsubasalover said: Weird that he didn't do anything to her, so she's ok. He simply didn't realise she was there. |

Badalight said: Laionidas said: The teacher might be a viable suspect, but he is still not a likely one. There's literally nothing pointing in his direction other than the flag on his role in the anime. Dude... come on... there are no signs pointing towards the teacher...? What are you even talking about? Literally everything points to him. Episode 2 was suspicious enough, episode 3 was a dead giveaway. If you couldn't figure it out by then ionno what to tell you. For those who don't pay attention or watch with their eyes closed, episode 5 basically baby-fed you the answer. If for some reason you didn't get it by then, episode 9 bludgeoned you over the head with a a heavy plank that said "THE TEACHER IS THE KILLER". Did you actually bother to read the entire sentence I wrote? "There's literally nothing pointing in his direction other than the flag on his role in the anime." All the things pointing to him are based on our gut feelings as viewers, experienced with mysteries like this, and the fact that he has the opportunity. If you look at it objectively though, there is nothing actually in the plot, in his character, or in his behaviour that indicates he would actually be the killer. He lacks motive really. Then there are things actually pointing against him being the killer. For example, he basically admits to knowing the kids are hiding Kayo, yet the killer does not even bother to look behind the curtain when entering the old schoolbus, and appears quite at a loss. The teacher seems to match the deliberate calculated character of the later killer, but actually when he was younger, at the time of Kayo's murder, the killer seems to still have been more opportunistic and impuls driven, not matching the teacher's character at all. There is another option though: |

| Smart girl. If I was in her place I might've not been able to hold back a scream like that. Still, if that was the killer I can't believe he wouldn't check the entire bus. For someone as thorough as him/her in framing others and not being caught that was sure a blunder. I love Hina's gift <3 Aww, blue gloves to compliment the one Satoru gave her. The piano score in this anime just always tugs the heartstrings. I really liked how they showed Hina's old breakfast with each blink of the eyes. How can a child grow with such a poor nutrition? There's a limit to how bad of a mom one can be! Speaking of Hina's mom, looks like she finally going to get what's coming to her next episode. |
| Miracle of ordinary homemade breakfast... the thing almost everybody takes for granted. Those tears at the end almost break me. Very heartwarming episode. Still, I don't understand one thing. And that is that Satoru has to know who the killer is. He mentioned himself when reading about suspects and Hiromi's death back then. That there is only one person that knew that he was boy. And this person is pretty obvious. So either he is slowly weaving some intricate trap offscreen or he didn't realize the obvious. I really hope it's the former. Well, but maybe it way too obvious, another red herring. But I don't think there is anyone else who could do that... And yes, Kayo was the first (well technically, she wasn't as there were other victims in the nearby town before). But I just wonder how he manages to save Hiromi and even Aya. Cause she would be endangered the most now. |

| This show is the king of the vague cliffhangers. No cliffhanger would do better, these stuff would work perfectly fine in the beginning of next episodes. |
  |
| Kayo's breakdown was very touching. Nice little cliffhanger we have at the end as well. |
 |
| Satoru really wants to bone Kayo. |
| The 29 year old main character really wants to fuck a 10 year... |

| My wild guess - Kenya is manipulating Yukki somehow. Kenya hidden there in plain sight, mature for his age, acting shady as a tree. I almost feel like the killer is someone that Satoru doesn't know though. You would think he'd be able to recognize Sensei or any of the other people from the past and bring that info back. |
 |
| This was such a nice episode :3 I wish nothing bad would happen from now on :( I really don't think it's going to be the teacher, even if he is the "obivous answer". Perhaps a random guy that no one knows, so neither Yuuki nor his father. Kenya is suspicious sometimes, but that would just seem stupid if he was connected. |
 |
| Am I in the way?... Yeah. Dude you're 29! xD |
| Most heartwarming episode I've ever seen. |
 |
| "Am I in the way here?" "Yeah" I love these moments from Sataru 😂 So many feels with the breakfast scene ;__; And then it transitions straight into and uneasy, angry scene D: Satoru has the best mom in anime. She's like the total opposite of Kayo's :/ |
| A heartwarming episode. Kayo crying at breakfast really got me. The teacher is giving me really bad vibes, especially he's in contact with everyone he would have the means to kill the kids and cover it up easily. Satoru's mom is probably my favourite character. She reminds of my mom a lot. |
[center] [/center] |
| The teacher is so god damn suspicious. He knows too much. He is too close to Satoru, and can easily manipulate information around him. He resembles the guy in the murderer his mom too much, at least height/hair/facial structure look sorta familiar. He has access to thoughts from Satoru's mom putting him in the loop with the main cast. SO SUSPECT! |
| Dem feels :'{ really great episode yet so sad :( Let's see what's next! |
 |
| Not the teacher considering the lack of "that's the guy" reaction. They should have turned the stuff into the police saying where they found it. Get that place crawling with cops... or are we just going to let the others get kidnapped/killed? Kayo, not having experienced a meal made with love... her reaction is pretty believable (though a bit overboard on the tears volume). |
  |
| This episode was perfect. I just want to give Kayo a hug. |
 |
| Cried my eyes in the breakfast scene. I can't understand child abuse, specially from a mother :( |
