eh.......
so how'd he fake his voice and make it so girly?

I'd like to say "cool twist", but this makes no sense whatsoever. And it's not just the voice.. it's everything.
Well, whatever.. :/

Damn! Ok, that was unexpected... some thoughts of the chapter:

1. It's a relieve to know that [the real] Anna is not a murderer (at least not yet).
2. Johan is such a wicked antagonist, to disguise without any remorse as his sister and use her real name.
3. LMAO, Suk almost kissed a man.
4. It all makes sense now. I was wondering how Anna even knew about those poisonous candies from the beginning, or who told her about the location of her mother. Considering that Johan never suffered amnesia it now makes sense why he was there.

Wow... that was a shocker for all of us...
But even so, this whole time I'm just thinking, damn, why did Mr. Grimmer give such an important piece of information to this detective newbie?
I mean I like him and all, but his unreliability showed the moment he decided to spill out details of an ongoing police investigation to some girl he met at the bar.

I knew it the thing that gave him up was the liquor candy... if they didn’t showed to me that scene in the previous episode 9were the corrupt policeman/detective mentioned that it was a pretty girl the one who gave him the candies) I would still think it was another woman (not Johan) or Anna/Nina has a double/spit personality nonetheless now Anna/Nina has been frames as well as Tenma how are they gonna prove their innocence is a wild guess... can’t wait to see next episode...

I honestly feel dumb for doubting it was Johan even with the poison candy. How the hell is he able to mimic her voice? This man is disturbing to the core.

I'm just glad Nina isn't like Johan as far as I know.

Oh shiz. Like, the whole time I was wondering like, "What the heck? Did she start looking into Johan a lot after the fire incident and in the process picked up some things he knew about? Like...?? What's up with her right now? Did she change her motives after that incident? Her killing people, even someone who seemed innocent seemed really odd. That didn't seem like her..." Like, I knew something was up, especially after she mentioned the three frogs, but I didn't expect Johan. Admittedly, if they made Johan's voice actor imitate her voice, I would have caught on, but since they didn't, I'm just... phew!
Nina/Anna is currently my fave character in Monster, so I've been really interested in how things will turn out for her... now I'm even MORE interested!

Well that was a twist that I didn't see coming.

After the poison candy and even the murders I thought perhaps Johan was pretending to be Anna while Anna herself was also in town investigating at the bar. I had no idea the two were one in the same!

Even when "she" gave the name Anna, I've seen the real girl give that name to others before. Not as often as Nina, but she has used Anna once or twice.

Though, come on, they're fraternal twins NOT identical. Plus, Anna's body structure is completely different from Johan's! The only way he could accomplish this would be to manipulate his body!

Its nice how it wasn't out of nowhere. Johan always had that smile, or expression that nina had quite alot felt really fake ( but i thought due to the kid dying or something bad happen to him), poison candy i was like shit you following your brother footsteps nooooo. What made it seem alot like nina due to only corrupt people died except the maid ( that where my suspicion was raised). Well shit but atleast good to know that the kids alright.

To those of you who thought it was Nina who killed those people, SHAME ON YOU. Now you understand that it was Johan all along.

Not withdrawing the comment about Johan being sexy in a woman's costume.


I will say it again, Shokugeki no Souma ain't got nothing on this.


Achievement unlocked!!!

It was pretty obvious from the last episode itself. Grimmer gave some good advice about believing in oneself. Let's see what Johan does next. Thank god it wasn't a brainwashed Nina.

Also, the only person to psychoanalyse people (like the detective's mom) is Johan himself. And note that Nina Fortner never calls herself as Anna Liebert. Only Johan calls her that.(That was the final clue for you.)

Y'all should just read Pluto.

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.

There goes my theory of triplets. I find the crossdressing a bit unbelievable for two reasons; They don't look that similar. Obviously related but Johan has more chiseled features and narrower eyes plus how would he fake the voice? Non the less, I absoloutely adore Johan so I'll let it slide :D

It's rare for me to speak out loud "holy shit", but this twist did it. Best trap reveal in anime, period.

And the best thing is how perfectly this has been built up, everything makes sense in retrospect.

This episode, just wow. Enough Monster for today.

Yeah I was already thinking in why did she use Anna Liebert has ehr name and not the new Nina Forter, I don't think she would use Anna Liebert to be honest.

But guys, now, new theory, what if Nina and Johan are one person? They almost have never been seen together (in the hospital as kids and in the library fire), remember the story? The monster was usually one but it did split up.

That would be a hell of a twist...


Oh no wait I remember seeing Nina's expectacular cleavage when she was searching for the baby, those boobs are real guys.

RightfullyMine said:
Funny how Johan's shoulders immediately became smaller while cross-dressed.

bajakens said:
The voice bothered me too, and all those shots of "Anna's" shapely legs and "her" high heels. I mean sure, they're twins, but come on...

And also yes, this, a lot of this, even when they are twinst is still a bit of a strecth say that Johan can perfectly pass as Nina.

Other thing that nobody is mentioning is that it seems that Johan is trying to erase the evidence about him, that was clear from before but now we know that he is trying to delete the evidence to the people who might want to put him on the front of the new movement, he killed the guys who were searching for the key of the safe deposit that contains the interview with his identity, right? The guys who were going to sell that info to people who want Johan to be leader of the new regimen of power or something like that, so that means, Johan doesn't want to be the new reich? What are his intentions? What is his plan?

I was willing to believe Nina had become a murderer first rather than accepting Johan could make a perfect impression of his sister. What a twist.

We still have Suk and as expected from such a good detective, he has already put himself in danger. Revealing important information to a complete stranger, what could go wrong?

I was laughing really hard after finishing this episode, and kept repeating "what the hell" over and over...but this comment did me in. I am crying. This is the biggest, most ridiculous ass-pull I've seen in this show so far. Should've cut to Suk walking in and going bug-eyed, with a canned laugh track.

Somebody should just barge their way into that 3 frog apartment.

He is a manipulator, he is a monster, and now he is a TRAP. So that's why he rejected the kiss....lol. And he is breaking the 4th wall by directing DAT SMUG to me.

How could he have such a feminine body? It could've been convincing if he wore trousers, but... hmm.

Well, it all makes sense why Nina was acting that way.

I didn't think Johan had such a petite frame, Suk isn't even necessarily that big and there was still a pretty considerable size difference

Also side note, everyone in prior episodes was calling her Nina, but here everyone calls her Anna. Doubt it's super significant, but I feel like that's gonna play into further episodes.

WOW! I did not see that coming! I actually started laughing out loud when I saw that it was Johan the whole time. It does make sense now that he said he is Anna Liebert instead of Nina. Looking back I should have seen it coming from the moment he told the detective 'I don't even know my real name'. Since being a nameless person is more characteristic of Johan.
I'm just happy Nina didn't kill anyone. Where is she now?
