@Centago In S1,we know that aqua does dna test to see if someone is related to him or not in the industry.
And he is in this theatre to find someone who is related to him,so obviously it is 100% feasible.
@Rexas420 Except he was going for his father, not for some random young actor.
There was literally no reason given by the story for him to have Himekawa checked too, the only reason was author's attempt to shock his audience.
Or are we meant to believe that Aqua is gathering DNA from all people around him constantly? Did he checked Akane for example?
inb4 everyone are brothers and sisters...

@camghost10 Except we already know who the killer was since the very first episode, guess you probably wasn't paying much attention.
Also, be prepared to be disappointed, it's obvious he knows nothing about his father other than few details from before the children home.
But he may tell him something about his mother instead.

People fail to realize that while the mystery part of this anime is about the revenge, when Aqua gets there and finds out the truth he will get disenchanted for sure.
It's not like Aqua's father ordered Ai's death as Aqua blindly believes, that one is pretty clear.
And knowing Ai, they were probably in love with each other too with no ill-blood between them.
Wouldn't be surprised if their father actually supported them all along and everything was just sad coincidence in the end.

Also, good mystery stories introudces villain very early and let him interact with MC all along.
How do you think Aqua would act if we learn Gotonda is his father after all? Would be pretty ironic, right?

The complaint I wrote in the thread for episode #08 (the lack of stage depth) was mostly resolved. Much better about it.

During this arc, some have derided "Ruby as a supporting character".
This is not only due to the structure of the animation.

Even Aqua, who is sensitive to the surrounding relationships, is missing Ruby from his perspective and consciousness.
He has been believing that the revenge is a clandestine confrontation between only him and the mastermind who is responsible for Ai's pregnancy and death.
The composition of his perception begins disintegrating. Unbeknownst to him, Akane and Gotanda already have some insight into his intentions.

The storytellers had set up a staged misdirection to draw the viewer's attention to prominent figures like Kana and Akane, to incite the viewer's "My Girl" controversy, and divert attention from Ruby. This is one of the reasons why the entire “Tokyo Blade” arc was needed.
For those who were only interested in the revenge drama, it's a shame they didn't fully enjoy these narrative structures.

And another incredible episode. Aqua’s acting was incredible, love all the little details of everybody’s reaction of the show and stuff like the Author talking to the Sweet Today Guy, Kana being drunk of ginger ale, Kana’s reaction to Aqua carrying Akane, the beautiful animation as always and seeing Ai again was amazing. It was a flashback but still. Right now I really hope that she’ll actually return like in the Opening. And the reveal of Himekawa and Aqua being related was really shocking to me. Really hyped for the next episode.

controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.

Aqua and Ai was such a sad scene, but in light of that, it looks like Aqua has another family member in the form of his half-brother Taiki 🤔
