DEMPLE IS BACK. Ritsu you better let him be.

Looks like Ritsu is a late bloomer, not a good sign that his power activated on rage and his mental state right now could be a problem.

Oh shiz. First off, I want to say I've always really loved how supportive and sweet the Body Improvement Club is. Shigeo really made a good choice joining that club over what I would say is the very tempting laziness of the Telepathy Club.

Now here's the thing about Ritsu: I understand him. Wanting to stand out or at least be "as special" as your sibling is something a lot of people deal with-- heck, we have two characters going through it in the same anime right now. (Seems the student council is where they gather. :U ) BUT, the recorder scene was definitely not one of Ritsu's best moments. It's hard for people to come to terms with being completely average and normal while others around them seem to be so much more amazing, and in the process, they often try to drag people down to their level in one way or another after failing to reach the same level or not wanting to try to reach the same level without seeming "weird" or working too hard.
"How dare you not try to be like everyone else. I consider that abnormal. I have a problem with that." I see it a lot on these forums actually when it comes to multiple topics. I'm interested in how others will relate to Ritsu's dilemma... but in the end I guess he actually is special so I won't be able to see truly maybe.

I feel so bad for Tenga though and I hope that things get resolved for him. I've always despised when a character gets blamed and punished for something they never did-- when as a watcher, you know what happened. It's always been a reeeally frustrating plot point for me even as a kid. By that I don't mean the quality of the media they were in decreased or anything, it was just always frustrating.


Yes, all this. Anyone with a sibling (or skilled friends) can probably relate to feeling inferior. Ritsu has a good head on him though, he's just caught up in a low. I think he'll come through. And hopefully make it up to Tenga too.

I also think the Body Improvement Club is wonderful. Love their attitude. They're very sincere. :)

Mitsuura (the owner of the Awakening Lab) mistook Ritsu for his brother when he first approached him. Ritsu never cleared up the misunderstanding and he's been basically visiting the Lab while using Mob's identity ever since.

I knew it! I knew he had powers!

This episode was definitely slower than the last one, but that's okay. The last episode was so intense that a bit of a break was needed in my opinion.

I really liked the focus on Mob's brother for this episode, but I have a really bad feeling that by the end of this series he's going to really resent Mob for the power he has.

But I want to find out by watching so no spoilers please!

Kind of a depressing episode. I feel like there was a common theme in these events, something about pretending to be someone else is ultimately useless. Or maybe something about the difference between the way people perceive you and who you really are. I don't think I can really make a meaningful interpretation out of it. All I really understand is that Ritsu let himself be corrupted by Shinji and that the two of them share a similar inferiority complex towards their brothers (although Shinji's brother seems to be an absolute wad).

YggdrasilTM said:
The point of that exchange was the double meaning. The vice president was trying to say: "don't force yourself to be average like your brother". Ritu understood that as "Don't pretend to be an esper like your brother".

They think Onigawara stole the tip of the girls' recorders to bring them back home and lick them or something. Like a perv' who'd sneak into the locker room and steal the girls' bras/panties if you will.

That gives him an alibi for the morning, but not for the evening of the day before (which is when it happened for real). He might have stolen them and forgotten them in his desk/bag (cause he's dumb), which is pretty much what the Council Prez and is trying to make the other students believe.

So he broke into the school, took all the instruments apart, put them in his bag and then just went back home? Who is to say he didn't have an alibi for the evening before too?

Ritsu and the council prez didn't do need to break into the school to do what they did, did they? Onigawara just needed to wait until the end of the day and take all the recorders when no one was looking. As for the alibi for what he was doing on that evening, we'll never know since he never had a chance to properly defend himself (which was kindof the point, as you'll notice his classmates were more than eager to blame him for what happened regardless of what he had to say).

If his sole purpose for waiting in school was to take those recorders then why didn't he take them? I have trouble imagining someone that stupid. How they set-up the other guy with the gym clothes was much more believable to me. The fact that all his classmates believed he was that stupid didn't sit right with me either. Why not simply take the recorders from another class than your own; it was just such an obvious set-up.

As I said, the point was that the excuse itself barely mattered in the end. Onigawara was a known troublemaker and his classmates took the first chance they got to shut him out. I agree that the setup was obvious, though.

Onigawara had it bad. Real bad. I was amazed by Ritsu's character transformation and how he actually had psychic powers. That was a well made twist(along with the spoon, of course).

Ekubo/Dimple is alive and well. And Mob went on a date with Tome. It is official, and I ship them.

And LOL Reigen at his psychic shenanigans again.

BTW, Even though people think why others believe Onigawara was the one who took the recorders so readily(Read Koharu no Hibi if you want similar stuff), Onigawara is a delinquent with no place for decency. He is someone who doesn't respect the rules of the society. He is brazen in his deeds. So it would make some sense for others that Onigawara could be behind this. Not helped by the fact that he earns the hate of others and continues to do so.

After all, if I was a student in that classroom, I would have readily believed Ritsu. Onigawara putting recorders in his desk may not seem logical, but I would have thought that he would have still done it because no one questioned him.

Read Aku no Hana if you want similar pervert scenarios.

I was feeling some second-hand embarrassment from Reigen pretending to be that guy's dad. I think the dub kinda messed it up by having the guy ask when his dad learned how to speak English so good and then saying he was from New Jersey.

I don't think the research facility could handle someone with actual psychic powers like Mob. The rich guy would probably try to dissect Mob or something.

Mob's brother is kinda morphing/being manipulated into a dick. :| Though I guess the end is implying that this is making some kind of psychic powers awaken from within him?
