| I knew it! The meatballs were sus! But making him eat his dad was messed up. |
 |
| Really good episode. Having an actual kid narrate it was a smart choice. |
 |
| That was so messed up! That boy's story was truly terrifying! I can't imagine how horrible it must've been for Keitaro and the others to see the possesed woman get blown up. They never knew she was already gone... I guess next week will be action. I hope things end well both for the protagonists and that poor boy. It doesn't seem like he knows what he's doing |
| Since the old F tunnel ghost, things became more and more messed up each case. |
| Damn this episode, that story of him eating his dad ! This is way too dark yo. |

They introduced Shami and now we know that one smooth criminal is named Oswald, and apparently they’re both possessed by ghosts and no one can tell because no one knows that ghosts also know the memories of the body they’re possessing, well ain’t that unfair lol. And I’m kinda upset about Shami, here I thought she’d be more important but she immediately got offed by the Watergate ghost, and no it’s not Richard Nixon lol. A shame too because I’m not normally into gilfs but she was doing something for me lol, but I have a feeling we might see the ghost that possessed her again at some point.
And damn man, this little kid ghost of the watergate is pretty fucked, at first I thought this was a slight step down but near the end it got pretty insane and I think based on the next time segment we might see this kid’s story in more detail, up close and personal so that oughta be fun lol. And let’s just say I’ll never see meatballs the same way ever again after this.

Well she's clearly a victim of being swapped, so what's likely to happen especially with her "I just got this body" comment, is that she's just going to be released as a spirit and will likely fight as one.

Which means they should take action. They still have yet to react at all. Did Yayoi assume it to be an illusion for some reason or did she notice something off about the woman? Why are Keitarou (can understand this due to maybe some control of the evil spirit) and Eiko just sitting back.

Yeah, it's something that I've felt before. I want him to interject before the story is complete, to try and offer him food or something if he thinks he's a starving abused kid, etc.

I'm kinda with you. I'm not personally scared by this stuff but it's definitely disturbing stuff.

I always watch this show in the dark so I have to wait until the evening to watch it. It definitely gives a scarier vibe that way too. I did that too last year with an anime called "Call of the Night" not because it was scary but because it mostly took place at night.

"Call of the Night" was gorgeous, the music was perfect for the atmosphere too. I did the same thing with it, wait until it's dark and throw it up for those chill late night vibes.

We saw at least Keitaro had some sort of feeling about her. Either way we need at least something to keep things balanced so that we can know the main cast is still the main cast in the future, especially with them having the memories of the person. (We know Keitaro is Keitaro but damn do I not like it technically being possible that he was swapped before and never got back).
| @CalorieEnchilada Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too, it will be interesting if that’s the case because that means it’ll be the watergate ghost, Yayoi’s graduate of choosing and the ghost that possessed Shami all on the same battlefield. |
| Damn wtf did I just watch, that was messed up. |
 |
| I have to wonder how Yayoi, at her age, managed to capture several graduates level spirits. I'm sure that she didn't begin with big ones, but even minor evil spirits would be a problem for her when she was just starting out. I don't imagine you can just research all these ghost capturing tactics, especially not when some major TV exorcist fucked around and found out while seemingly having none of the protection methods Yayoi had. |
| They really went insane for this episode huh. I sympathize the kid. cant blame him cuz he suffered a lot and step mom created that evil spirit. Hope he changes in next ep probably. |
 |
| Another fucked up story to this s-rank spirit history. Holy kid, do be wilding there, turning mama into meatballs and everyone else that reaches the watergate. Because why not. I also like how they didn't hesitate to just confirm by the previous one, how the human villain from several episodes awhile, really being replaced, and its sure have kinda big community replacement already, i'd say. And they sure have a big plan. Well, after being told to be careful, those old lady turned out misjudging those s-rank kid power, and ended up as a meatball. So its up to our big kiddo Yayoi to catch the kid meatball maker into the ball. Tho now i understand why you need the courtesan lady to fight the kiddo. After all his wrongdoings, its time to get real lesson from a pretty strong replacement mama as a punishment, right? Not from just an old lady, but from a lady. So how the kid ends up in a mecha? Well, kids and mecha, seems like a good combination, right? You know the drill, so yeah, that's it all from now.... |

| That was pretty disturbing. Mainly because it's not like that is something that can't happen. I doubt there is a case where exactly this happened but every element in it's own definitely has happened.

Same for both lol I also tried watching an ep of this outside in the pitch black night and i live in a rural area. Ventus_S said: Thanks Now you mentioned it he does sound like a child instead of an adult women voicing little boy. I wonder why he is not on the cast list on mal. I want to know what other series he voiced before. Because MAL mods arent very active at adding things. Also I think some VAs work anonymously going under pseudonyms. Ventus_S said: Smart choice for the audience but not so smart for the little boy himself :< He's 12 yknow. 12 isnt what id call a little boy. Keep in mind he's voice acting so he's making himself sound younger and more vulnerable than he is lol. He's likely perfectly fine. Marinate1016 said: Nah man I need the author to be checked on because this shit is getting even more disturbing. Marinate1016 said: Bro is not right in the head lmao The author gets some stuff based off urban legends and i assume real events and had also requested readers to send him personal paranormal experiences so it is hard to tell how much is coming from his own imagination. He also does on site research with his editor including going through a shinto exorcism which he explains that process with photos in chapter 19.5 |

It annoys me how Yayoi has literally no expression in her face, just watching like she is on a live action and doing nothing.. while the 2 are traumatized af.. if that was the real Shami, shame on them for letting her die (good thing that was the ghost who stole the body)
| Yayoi threw away her own emotions at the foot of a grave. |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| That was so horrendous I think I stopped blinking some point. |
The kid's story was unbelievably wild... I thought it was rough halfway through but then the MEATBALLS!?!?!?!?  |
Respectfully ofc |

Fun fact: the kid is voiced by an actual kid, a 12 year old by the name of Aoba Oda.
| @InNeedOfAName Pretty cool to find out thank you. Got curious myself, just looked him up. https://twitter.com/kaisei_aoba Voice actor brothers 🧒👦 14 and 12 years old.

| Well now i don't want any meatballs whatsoever on my meal. Goodness gracious this show. This is why I'm not eating anything while watching this Anime. |

| You steal a body just to get outsmarted by a boy eating human meat. Sad hands man. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| "...to manifest pure, indiscriminent rage" |
   |
| Hey, btw, I just went through some forum posts from previous episodes, and then got reminded that in ep13 (thanks to user InNeedOfAnime) that actually Oswald appeared already in episode 13. Do you think he was already possesed back then, or he was himself yet? There was that waterfall scene when he was drowning one other guy. He seemed like a villain already back then. |
|
| there must be something wrong with me, but that story was hilarious. the dude literally ate his dad and was like "umh tbh the meatballs weren't that good" lmao the old lady ghost died so quickly though, what was even the point of her being there |
| That was one hell of a cliffhanger! Though I'm kinda relieved that the body-swapper died horribly since she's a fake and I hate impostors to a degree... |
| omg! another banger episode! truly terrifying! absolute morbid dark! damn! if they collect all those S gradz i wonder what kind of showdown we'll gonna experience versus the 'god'...wew!! 5/5. |
 |
nahh I'm good bruh thanks for offering it tho !! I hope ya get the customer ya look-in for |
| Wow, this was the Darkest Gathering thus far. ;) This is definitely one of the better horror anime I have watched. It keeps surprising me each week. This series does a good job at creating some genuinely disturbing/creepy content. This is the good kind of edge. Unlike certain other series airing this season...I won't mention names :P |
 |
| Damn I have to see the mix of children's drawings on the sketchbook and human meatball/murder story was very disturbing |
 |
| Damn this episode was good. The presentation of the boy's story and having it narrated by an actual child made it super creepy. |

| This show keeps getting nastier and brutal. I dont think this beats the tunnel episode as the most scariest one but its definitely the most messed up one (along with the father daughter murder case). |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Yayoi is 100% took over with a spirit with all the secret technique and knowledge about ghost, on top of 160 IQ because why not. But at the same time Eiko look insane, so it could just turn out to be madness running in the family in the end. |
