| Pretty interesting. So ... almost no scenes with the other kids in the facility. Ending reminded a bit of the fish drawing and I had to check back - the fish the other group encountered (man-eater) looked like the drawing (with arms). The dialogue after the ending ("real babies have no face") was kinde weird. As for the main girl/guy: Seems only the brain got transplanted. And we heard a shot I think? So the sister got shot - for some reason ... while for the boy the main body was damaged (looked like the legs and stuff ... was easen and not only covered in saliva from the monster) ... I wonder why/how the sister got killed (shot?) ... and if the doctor maybe did it on purpose cause he liked to experiment? |
| Nice plot twist, there were hints before and now it all makes sense. I wonder what does those drawings has to do with the man eaters. They creating them based on the drawings? Also babies without faces? What? |
 |
| oh wow what a backstory that was. Brain Surgery success, i guess. wait, the Fish with many hands was real? |
 |
| Wow the backstory was something, It was sad to see Kiruko pass away due to the man-eater but before she was gone she merged with the body of her brother? or the doctor made a miracle happen. Haruki saw a man-eater on the kart field and tried to do it by himself but the man-eater was bulletproof or something and Haruki got literally eaten but his sis tried to save him but it was too late, that was heartbreaking to see. After Kiruko being in the hospital for 3-4 months, Kiruko still lived on the streets and took on any jobs that came his way and then he met Maru on the way, that's the story. Maru thinks its all a dream lmao but when everything is calm on the boat an man-eater is on the window, now the real deal begins. |

| Good backstory episode for Haruki, guess he kept his sister's hair like that for sexual reasons or i'd like to think its just to remember her..., but is it some sort of rape since he's masturbating with his sister's body? Still its fucking weird nonetheless. |

I know it's bit more extreme but since his brain is now in this new body, the later becomes his and he can do with it what he wants. |

| Funny how it kinda spoiled a recent twist in the manga lol, still a very nice episode tho |
| Very dark episode but very interesting concept, I can't wait to learn more about it. Great episode as usual! |

felixsifuri said: Peepsqueeker said: I'm not trans, I just like some variety in shows I watch. I've seen many characters have basically the same struggles with some variations sprinkled in, what's so bad with me wanting to see some different perspectives? It would be much more interesting to me than another body swap plot. Seems a tad bit lazy to me, and like it's pandering to viewers who don't see trans as sane. At least this time it's a post-apo body-swap, I guess...I really don't understand why people are so obsessed with having somebody that looks like them, acts like them and has the same identity/sexuality as them in any form of media. Bro what are you talking about? It was never gonna be a trans subplot and it not being one isn’t some anti-trans pandering. Like wtf? |

TsukuyomiREKT said: I never meant it as some absolute truth, I just think that it seems like creators of these plots are steering off what would be a complicated and difficult character trait to portray in the right and entertaining way in favour of a character literally being in a different body. There was some clear baiting in the ending of episode 2, that's why it seems to me like the creator might've cleared off from making a trans character and made a simpler backstory instead. *seems to me* and *a tad bit* are key words there, I obviously have no clue what the author had on his mind. I really really don't care as much as one might assume from what I sometimes write.Bro what are you talking about? It was never gonna be a trans subplot and it not being one isn’t some anti-trans pandering. Like wtf? Brush it off as a shit take, whatever, it's just my opinion. |

There was no baiting whatsoever, the line was mistranslated. If you speak or read Japanese she clearly says "Brain" not "Mind". Now whether or not that was done on purpose...well thats yet to be determined |

| wow... brain transplant!!! |
 |
| I retract my comment from last week... |
 |
| It's Promised Neverland on shrooms and I love it so damn much. |
AkeZZZ said: WOW, brain transplant surgery. This also explained the mirror kiss scene from the first episode as well. It also explains why Kiruko had trouble remembering if she was 18 or 20. Unless I'm overthinking it. |

| Great episode, we got the backstory on how he got on Kiruko's body after being attacked and almost killed, now it's getting more and more mysterious, I hope that they'll find that doctor or that Robin guy eventually. Why not go the gay path though? xD |
 |
| I think that the atmosphere and the setting in which the show takes place is intriguing, however my frustration is that we are 3 episodes in and it is not clear who or what the antagonist is or where the main source of conflict is. They still have time to introduce it but at about this time into a 13 episode anime I start to become concerned if I don't get a sense of this. I also feel like the characters are so extremely competent that nothing can touch them. It makes me wonder what is the thing, if anything that can stop them from getting to their goal? Maybe this anime might just end up being one of those "vibe" anime. |
| Minor spoiler, though if you paid attention during this episode, you can deduce it from some details |

| Loving this show so far, intrigued by the world building and the functioning society in post-collapse Tokyo. Also curious how heaven relates to it all, I'm thinking all the kids there may be clones, given the "babies don't have faces" comment and Maru and Tokio being identical. I think the drawings are linked to the man-eaters somehow too now that the fish with limbs has shown up. There will definitely be more big twists coming up, I can feel it in my balls. tbh this is like the Promised Neverland sequel we never got, really hope it stays this good. |
| Woahhhhh 🤯 But why did the last Man-eater look like the Fish drawing from Kona?! 🤔 |
💀𝑀𝑜𝓋𝑒, 𝐼'𝓂 𝐹𝑒𝓇𝒶𝓁💀  |
| Is there a connection between the drawings and the man eaters? The fish at the end of the episode is just like the drawing! Loving the world building. |
 |
| Same here. Cause like, the gunshot stuff was showcased pretty far into the manga. I'm very surprised to see it referenced not once but twice, very very interesting. Though we all still wonder who and why. ...is the quote button broken? |

| Such a fucked-up backstory, as you would expect from Heavenly Delusion. Now the doctor here looks kinda sus but fully expecting there to be a twist regarding that. I actually liked that "masturbation" scene(not completely sure if she really was masturbating). I think it would be completely natural for the guy to fulfill the needs of the body and considering the sister had an older body..... guess the rest. Babies don't have faces, wtf. Now this facility is confirmed sus. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that this is where the monsters come from but let's see. |
 |
| This proves I interpreted the cliff hanger correctly but holy shit this is actually horrifying which I didn't expect it to come off this way. Imagine being in that position waking up in a body that isnt your own and only slowly figuring out someone you care about is gone and having to constantly be reminded of them every moment of every day because you have their body. So Kiruko is Haruki and the name is a fusion of Kiriko + Haruki he must have given himself as a sort of new identity "kiru" (kill) "ko" (child). |
