I speculate that this was the real twenty faces goal and that he wanted to people to inspired by the "vigilant of justice" twenty faces enough to start taking the law in their own hands.

Quite obvious most cute girls die in this show. Kagami's backstory was very well presented, even though no surprises. Bit sad Kagami may be gone, since he's quite an interesting character. Maybe black lizard can pull some more strings.
Interesting to see 20 Faces baton potentially passing to Sachiko's father, or to vigilantes in general.

Ah, finally had time to watch the episodes!
Well, I admit the episode was sad and a tear jerker but it felt like a repeat of the episode with Shadow-man...
I dont know, it was kinda boring.. its was actually the same, but with diffrent characters.
Actually, kinda disappointed, i thought this anime going to present diffrent cases but its episode 5 and its just the same thing as the last episodes.
Seriously?
*praying that the next episode will be super great*

Fuck yes! Finally, that fat bastard is dead. I would have much preferred to have him grinded up into cement like he was about to be in the previous episode, but what matters is that he's dead, and killed by Sachiko's father on top of that via multiple stabbing and slash wounds, so true justice vengeance was served. I almost got a boner when he was being killed. I hope the fat bastard was sliced and diced up until he was unrecognizable.

Speaking of vengeance, it was obvious that as soon as they introduced the little sister, I instantly knew "This girl's dead. I'd bet my left testicle on that" for the reason what drove Kagami over the edge, and why he took to murdering murderers. I completely agree with Kagami though, along with the mental institutions being BS, criminals need to be punished...even if they only punish other criminals. It would be hypocrisy and arrogance to think otherwise. It is a necessary evil.

While this episode was predictable af, I hope they go back to the more serious mind-fucking cases that make us think about who could the murderer be.

I'm still confused. Is that bastard died by Sachiko's father, being stabbed to death or is it by Kagami, where he mutilated his eyes and melted his limbs, killing him slowly?

The Kagami's "transformation" to the serial killer reminded me a little bit of the cop in Death Parade. Anyway, the whole episode wasn't on the level of the previous episodes but it was alrigth to give us some background on a charcter. Hope to have a similar one for Akechi who seems to hide something very intersting in his past

I liked this episode. Even if it was a bit predictable (I don't like this word and I don't like when people use it). I liked this episode better than the previous two. It's sad, that so many people drop this show (I hope I won't). I like the world and the "atmosphere" of this show. But lots of people expect from it something it isn't. I'm trying just to watch and just get what they give...

Jesus Christ I was not expecting the feels I got this episode. Why did it have to be the newly officially introduced poor little sister? It should never be the little sister. Such a cutie doesn't deserve this.

Is it seriously that hard to convict in Japan? The one case they said a drunk guy got off for being drunk. That shit would not fly in the US, you'd go down so hard in trial.

I third this.

Very powerful episode and I just loved the ending. For some strange reason I feel like the ending song in that place just made it that much sadder and tragic. It was oddly fitting and oddly making it hit harder.

So fucking true. Humans are getting dumber everyday, and it shows on the news and everywhere.

Especially when the lyrics were translated and you read it alongside what went down in actual scene. The beginning verse of the song ironically fits. It was really tragic.

That fat fuck got his cookies at the end of the episode. I'm glad Sachiko's daddy got revenge for her.

You'd be surprised how many murderers, rapists, pedophiles, etc. are released into society either due to influence, power, money, lack of evidence, psychiatric evaluations, etc. People who refuse to believe that this type of fuckery happens in the real world, isn't living in the real world.

Nice episode, much better than the previous four mostly because it was focused on a decent character.

I'm guessing this 20 Face Man is going to be the theme of this series.

I feel ya man, I feel ya. This episode was great, and I mean that in a sad and horrified way.


Worse part was he didn't go home early like he promised so he feels extra guilty, since he could have probably prevent it. It would hurt even more if he was acquitted as well after getting arrested.

This anime is so depressing and just full of sadness. I have never watched a anime this freaking annoying in a way where it just straight up pisses me off watching it because it purposely makes characters die and make the villains just way too unbearable.

This episode made me very sad and angry, but...

The fat bastard deserved what he got. I would've prefered it if he was crushed to death or suffered the same fate as Sugane but he deserved what he got.

Nor for the source. Modern take on popular fictional characters can be interesting, but not when you make them edgelords.

As predictable as the episode was, Koyasu killing fatso caught me off guard, had me in tears.

I knew from the phone calls that the imouto was dead. Free Kagami!

I feel bad for Kagami and I definitely understand why he become the Twenty Faces. Good thing no Kobayashi butt or fanservice on this EP, but I couldn’t see any symparize from either aside from Hashiba. Nah, that fat guy should die he deserves it. I like the inser song tho

Kinda fucked up that the message of the episode (and several preceding ones) seems to be that "the justice system treats mentally ill people too leniently" rather than actually delving into the very real societal and institutional problems of the Japanese justice system. The line about prosecutors dropping charges against mentally ill criminals for fear of damaging their reputation and chance of a promotion should they be acquitted should've been explored much more. Yes, in this fictional anime, the system was in the wrong for letting someone like Watanuki go free for being mentally ill, but the blame shouldn't be placed on those who are of unsound mind or human rights groups. Blame the system with a 99%+ conviction rate, where judges and prosecutors are more concerned with public appearances than doing actual justice, instead.

An article for those who have any interest in how shitty the Japanese justice system is.

Was nice to see an immersive and gripping episode after what was previously tonally inconsistent absurdity. Kagami's distaste for these farcical appeals to psychology criminals use to avoid justice for the harm they've caused others is also something you can empathise with as well, to the point where I support his vigilantism entirely.

When the justice system/law enforcement fail, they fail even harder when go after the vigilantes. If they let the worst people of society walk free due to "insanity", but one who protected many people by taking into his own hands gets punished, the system is just that much radically worse.
They actually let that monster go, but I cried, of possibly happiness, when he got sliced and diced.

I don't support the death penalty, but when it's red-handed and government basically gives them a license to continue, killing them and brutally, I support. Being in right mind is not an excuse, and if it is, why would release when that same mind would do again.

3/5 because it hurt so much. Kagami...
