UnleashTheGoat said: Exactly. I can see things that might provide info on why Hiro is the way he is; possibly emotionally unstable (even before this episode) or even a bad upbringing by his parents. But at the same time, his character is written pretty inconsistently and there’s nothing to confirm that evidence. Like looking at his mother, she seems like a very good role model for Hiro to look up to who would’ve taught him valuable life lessons as such. Same goes for the dad and his step family. So where is the catalyst for Hiro to become this mass muderer?Vindicater said: I agree with Kadiro. Hiro needs to be stopped completely. Anyone who will murder like that is stone cold fucked up. You guys really haven't understood what Heretic's saying have you? He's not saying that Hiro isn't bad, he's not saying he prefers black-and-white morality. Heretic's saying that Hiro's character establishment and development is badly done, which makes him unable to care about what's happening because, you know, bad writing does that. That's kind of it. |
 |
| Ah yes, I've was looking forward to seeing this adapted and MAPPA did very good by it. It sucks that Hiro's mom committed suicide but it was pretty great seeing how Hiro disposed of all the 2chan users that laughed at her death. Now no technology is safe to use. Very excited for the next episode. |
 |
| An episode slamming on the media, no matter traditional media like TV or relatively new ones like Internet forums (2ch). TV reporters/ analysts making a great fuss over an essay Hiro wrote as a primary kid, crowding Hiro's parents in front of their houses. Internet... all the 2ch trolls shown. Hiro's father telling his son not to shoot him after witnessing the killing spree, same as saying Hiro would no longer have any parents. Incorporating smartphones into brain and shooting through screens and dimension discovered in this episode. Is there any limit to this super power of Hiro and Inuyashiki? |
| 一期一会 |
| i like the episode but how the trolls died threw me off. it just doesn't make any sense. how can air get from him to a smartphone. I know that with aliens and robots i shouldn't look for realism but it has to make sense somehow. |
Luxeraph said: So this episode is the one shown in the opening, ever since the yakuza episode I've been wondering why Hiro was shown crying while killing so many, guess I know now. Same here. i wonder about it before but now we know it is because of his mom. The finger usb port scene was funny and cute. I really feel bad for Hiro's mom the most and his dad too. She just recovered from cancer but died by suicide because of Hiro's fault to begin with. Those trolls indeed are assholes but damn .. the body count was too many in this episode. Thank God that Shion and her grandma still alive. I can't wait to see how Inuyashiki dealing with Hiro. 5 episodes left. |

Demonneo said: First off, did not know that you could be born a psychopath so I’ll tip my hat to you there. Secondly, yeah it’s incredibly evident that Hiro only cares for the people that are close to him. Like it surprised me when people were saying how surprised they were by how much Hiro cares about his mother. And third, maybe inconsistent isn’t the right word. More like he’s just not that compelling. I mean he isn’t the worst antagonist I’ve seen but definitely seen better.amk_2397 said: Exactly.

kadiro said: HereticHunter said: Sorry everyone but I can't empathize with Hiro, Sure he killed those annoying internet trolls, yet he is an incredibly inconsistent character, he goes from a serial killer to a cry baby and back to a Serial Killer without almost any development. And apparently this is up for Anime of the Season/Year? Good joke. Wrong genre, this is not a shonen where everything is a black and white. Characters have personality, even the bad guys. Exactly shounen fans just missing the usual sob story expressed through at 50 filler episode "he are good at heart, however suffered so much injustice beforehand and turned to dark side" |

So where is the catalyst for Hiro to become this mass muderer? I kinda understand why people are surprised about Hiro's kinds toward the people he cared about. In anime, most villains are usually very danger to their own circle/people let alone outsiders. Either their survival is greater than the people they care about or their goal is, either way one way or another, you'll see them using them and then disposing them when they achieve their goal. So it's rare to find an antagonist that treats normal with their family and friends and at the same time still be a hypocrite villain and do evil things at outside. He's the perfect definition of Sociopath. So it's a rare to find this kind of villain characters in anime. |

| So he ended up shacking up with that girl and her grandma for a bit. And his mother killed herself because trolls were blaming her and the media was harassing her. I don't care who you are, but if you find out your mother killed herself (because of something you did) from watching the news...god, I can't think of anything worse. It's ironic though. I mean, Hiro started killing to feel something, but now he's killing precisely because he feels something- hatred towards the internet trolls and paparazzi that harassed his mother. I mean, he's getting his just desserts after all the innocents he's slaughtered but I still felt for him this episode. Somehow. prolly cuz he's hot Prolly cuz he comes across as a lost, screwed up guy who's not necessarily evil (the internet trolls had more malice than him, after all) but doesn't give a crap about anyone aside from his parents and maybe Andou. Someone with barely any emotion is the scariest thing of all. We've still got 5 episodes to go, so I'm wondering what's gonna happen. I mean, that's nearly half of the series left! I would've expected this sort of thing to happen in the last 2 episodes or something, so I have no idea what to expect now! |

| Inuyashiki in space was hilarious. You can tell the astronaut was like WTF? xD This episode was brutal. But the "Dadadadadada!" scene was funny. Now Hiro is "cleaning up" 2chan from trolls. |
 |
| Yep. He really lost it. He REALLY lost it this time. His mother killed herself (like she said she would in this situation), and Hiro has just completely lost any filter to his actions. He wants everyone and anyone to die. It got intense. He's seriously dangerous now. Our hero must stop him!! |
 ^How dare his son said that! He didn't sound worried for Inuyashiki at all. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Killing people through monitor? Nice superpower |

| I'm not sure why exactly are people questioning him being able to kill through a computer screen. This the guy who kill people saying "bang". In any case, it's interesting to finally see Hiro finally losing it after his mother's suicide. Now he is just acting in anger against the media harassment and online trolls. This is probably the first time any situation has escalated where there's a sense of danger on Hiro getting his identity revealed and a legitimate sense there might be progression to had here. How Inuyashiki resolves this will definitely be the deciding factor on how I feel on this series (because face it there won't be another arc given the pace of this series so far). There's Inuyashiki who is supposedly trying to stop him, but will he stop if Hiro decides never to kill again? Or will it conclude with Hiro's exile/death? Perhaps for whatever reason the world wouldn't want him to catch him anymore? |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| It was surprisingly satisfying to see all the shitposters getting killed off. But the CG took a heavy hit in quality. |
 |
| I really liked the focus on Hiro. He's just an edgy psychopath that doesn't make much sense, but I still could relate to how he felt this episode. The media was portrayed pretty realistically also. And that guy at the end was basically all the 4chan community in a nutshell (maybe not quiet, but still it was very funny). 4/5 |

Legacy611 said: I have three big issues with the series so far. since I have no friends to discuss with I hope that someone can explain to me these problems. 1. How arent are there cameras set up to easily see them flying through the air? I would imagine that it would go viral... 2. I thought Hiro had the ability to hear the police line, how didnt he know that they were coming for him? 3.Why wouldnt he take his mom with him when he started running? I just thought of a fourth one. 4. How did the cops figure out it was him? In his words, the bullets were traceless and he was pretty confident that nobody would find it. I'll just gonna try answer the questions as good as I can. 1. But on the other hand nobody knows that there are super heroes around, so they would probably only film them accidently. But even if they would upload something like that, how many people would believe it? I guess many would say it is just a fake or something. But there was one scene in the manga that wasn't shown in the anime when Inuyashiki cured that boy in the hospital and escaped and was later catched by an doctor outside of the hospital that knew what he did and asked him to cure more patients and that he would keep it a secret. So it is not like people are completly unaware of them either. 2. I guess it works the same way as Inuyashiki ability to hear other peoples voices and that he needs to activate it. So I'll guess he wasn't even listening to it as he was sure that nobody would ever find him. 3. While being a robot he still has a somewhat human side, so I'll guess he just paniced there. But even if he did, he still would need to give her an reasonable answer on why he did so. She already foreshadowed that she would kill herself if Hiro turns out to be a killer, when he asked her, so it may wouldn't really change anything. 4. However there may have been people seeing him walking out of a strangers house right after killings occurred, maybe someone has seen him shooting another person or maybe he was catched on a security camera. Even if he just uses his finger it may have looked like that he used a gun from the position of the witness. The answers are more like my interpretation of the situation so they could still be wrong or something. |
Yes Kira lives! He lives! And was reincarnated into Hiro. "The Hero we need" (: |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| 4CHAN ON SUICIDE WATCH!!! hahahahahahaha, omg, Hiro is the real Hero. I feel bad for his mom, she did nothing wrong. ______ It doesn't seem as stupid that he "shoots" people over the monitors. because he isn't actually shooting anything in the traditional sense of the word. I think that Hiro is controlling the air or he has some sort of kinetic energy director. He's not shooting anything from his fingers, but his Alienbot systems are controlling atoms in the air and moving them at extreme speeds. It's alien technology after all. |
 |
| I may get called a psychopath, but I liked the part where Hiro started killing the internet trolls |
 |
| It was more like death note when Hiro was going after the trolls. Pretty neat. It was also pretty funny when he mowed down the reporters with a pretend machine gun while making machine gun noises. LOL |

Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not bad this episode. We got more focus on Hiro and old man Inuyashiki from both sides. I'm impressed at how they show what their new powers are capable of. In particular, Inuyashiki was even show flowing in space. Hiro is on his killing spree again except this time, it's even worse with the body counts. He really reached a new low ever since her mother got involved in all this drama. Good psychology this episode. It reall bought out Hiro's behavior more and how he is accepting his powers. BRUH THE TYPOS! You gotta take care of the typos. |
| I've surpassed your limit! |
| Cleaning the internet, What a hero Hiro! " I am trolling lol" haha |
| Hiro put 2chan on notice |
| As much as he's a cunt this was one of the most...refreshing...? scenes I've ever seen in anime. |
| This episode was brutal. I can tell the show's really picking up, can't wait to see Inuyashiki VS Shishigami. The jumps between 3D CGI and 2D animation are still really jarring though. |

Loyalty06 said: LMA said: I can't get over how this is the prevailing sentiment on this discussion thread right now. Yes, they were a bunch of nasty, insensitive people (and pedo) but he KILLED them. When did being a total asshole on the internet or even in life, get to be something that deserves the death penalt;, no trial, no jury, just a bigger and more powerful asshole than you meting a brutal death out? Sure, if they were somehow set up to be arrested for cyberbullying it would be fair, but no one deserves to be assassinated over what they did. I think that is what is turning out to be most interesting about this series; the reactions of us viewers. One episode focuses on the good guy, and everyone is all sentimental and happy, then one focuses on the bad guy and suddenly everyone is out for blood and laughing in total identification with a psychopath (personally, I find those episodes boring because they are so one note; death, more death, a little more death, hey, let's kill another person doing their job, yada yada, yada). It shows how easily influenced and manipulated we are by what we see in the media. I beg to differ but Hiro's scenes are the most thought provoking and entertaining in the series. This is probably attributed to the fact that Inuyashiki is so one note as you would like to call it. Also, this episode is a very anticipated scene which you don't see much in anime and so you will have focus discussions on it. Personally, my favorite parts are the emotional scenes. Hiro was crying throughout the episode and doesn't have much dialogue, but you can feel that he is thinking a lot of things and the silence just upping the tension when you anticipate his every move. Inuyashiki is shown with a very bland perspective. Anyone on his side is just, and everyone against him is a monster. Even the one scene where he did something questionable, torturing the gang to the point they want to commit suicide, was depicted as "oh I had to do it for the greater good." and "He didn't actually do it, he was unconcious." |
