I kinda sorta like the general direction of Shishigami's character progression and the dynamic of his and Shion's relationship... ??? I mean, I get the general idea why people don't understand how she could be "OK" with his history of murder, but I think the message is clear, even if a bit trite: there's room for anyone to change when shown love. And Shishigami's attachment to his mother, his willingness to come to terms with his new identity in a more humane way, set his character up for this arc. It was already made clear affection is his anchor.

So I guess I hope the proceeding events don't go the predictable route by repeating the events with his mother's suicide. I'd rather see Shishigami's change be permanent.

Okay...this shit's getting stupid.

Instead of being terrified by the fact that Hiro's a mass murderer, Shion sobs "don't leave me" and decides to accompany him on some Superman adventure that'll somehow make up for the massacres he's committed before?

It's time that he comes to realize it's not possible for him to live with humans anymore. Based on their rules he's a threat.
And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.

If she was introduced as a level-headed character, that would be the case.
She let a murder suspect to live in her house.

Hiro tells Shion he's the killer.
Hiro shows her his back.
Fly in the sky.
Shion doesn't want Hiro to leave.
Hiro will save lives.
Dat hug.
Ms. Nakao.
WTF! Cancer again?
Dat almost jisatsu.
She wants to live.
You damn kids.
Dat message. Cure?
Hiro appears.
WTF! She got prettier.
Hiro saved 53 people.
Fly in the sky.
Hiro will cherish Shion forever.
WTF! Did obaachan just fart?
Oh shit! They're here.
Dat ending.

Shion's complete unconditional acceptance of Hiro despite what he is or what he'd done had convinced him to turn to a new leaf by helping those in need to make up for all the lives lost in his sadistic and mostly random killing spree. That didn't mean that the authorities would get off his case though. There's a strong chance both granny and Shion would turn out to be collateral when their residence gets swatted...

If Inuyashiki found out about his efforts of penitence saving more than he had killed, I wonder if that would change his opinion of him even for a little bit.

I hope this girl dose'nt become like misa from Death Note. Why is she in love with a murduer?
Why is she in love with someone who dose'nt have a beating heat in his chest?
Why is she in love with someone who can't have sex?

Can machine people even age?


I guess Hiro is the new Hero of this anime now? Where Grandpa robo Jesus at?


Didn't she fall in love before knowing that he's a murderer?
I don't think love dies in an instant. Besides, I know a lot of people irl that think the guy can change for them and are madly in love because of it, lol.

On the other hand, I think it's quite the "Why is she in love with someone who can't have sex?" thing. That's the last thing I care about whenever I fall in love, tbh.

That's the reason of him to kill innocent people?!!! It's too shallow for me!! I expect horrible trauma but it's not!

I'm so glad that he finally use his power on good things! But he still need to surrender to the police ;( the girl able to change him but I think another disaster will happen ;(

Glad to see that Hiro is finally putting his powers to good use by healing others who were on the verge of death. Maybe if he continues, he can be 'human' again.

And the flying scene with shion, pfft it reminded me of


I hope the FBI don't accidentally injure or hurt Shion and her grandma in the next episode. >~<

Mass murderer (people think it's a joke and still live life normally?), picture all over the news and for some reason nobody recognises him even with his face in full view. The start had promise but I can't ignore this terrible writing any longer.

So some serial killer simp told a serial killer to stop killing and he's like 'okay' in fact he one ups it by saving people instead...

At least the swat squad at the end makes more sense than whatever tf this episode was.

Karma will catch up to Hiro. Nothing is going to change the fact that he killed people out of boredom.

Shion the girl is actually falling for a mass murderer? Seriously? I guess she's a lunatic too if she's housing another lunatic.

Hiro is changing again due to a woman. Hiro saving lives and Inuyashiki being absent from the entire episode was a huge 180. And with that, I'm starting to see the flaws of this anime. It's way too short for the type of story it's trying it tell. At least it's binge-worthy. Very unfortunate.

Peace isn't everlasting. I guess Hiro will be forced to keep killing.

Who would have thought adapting a 10 volume manga in 11 episodes would be a bad idea. The pacing in this is insane. I like a lot of the ideas of this series but the execution is kind of failing because of how quick the pacing is. Also why is this even called Inuyashiki when Hiro is clearly the main character?

I think the reason people are considering it a "sudden change of heart" (when it's NOT, far from it) is because they don't understand his character. He only cares about a small number of people and when he does, he obsesses with the idea of (over)protecting them and keeping them happy (Ando, his mother and now the girl and grandma). But aside from that, he doesn't give a shit about people, he's still a psycopath. He doesn't care whether they live or die, he just does stuff whenever and however he feels like it. He's careless like that

Vindicater said:


No he had a change of heart when she cried not to be left.

He is using her to replace his mother because even psychos need to feel loved.

the fact he asked her after saving all those people if she liked that kind of thing.

He is a complete and utter nutjob.

GoldenDevilGamer said:
Hiro's change in character might feel sudden, but that's also the type of character he is. He doesn't think about anything. If he feels like killing, then he'll kill. If he feels like saving, then he'll save.



Exactly lol you people get it.
I really thought he would drop her though xD plus he saw the light and everything

Teenage love is dangerous xD

I mean being head over heels for a psychotic murderer like Hiro makes this girl a psychopath too, but still this isn't the first time when we've seen something like this, at least in anime. Though that change of heart is too sudden to feel otherwise for Hiro.

Good that he's saving people, but guess those days are over now. As it seems japanese have sent a special operations group to get rid of Hiro.. as if it would do anything to him but still.

Step over gramps, here comes Hiro the Hero!
Nah for real though, Shion's desperate wailing that goes against Hiro's expectations completely puzzled him. Hiro's twisted personality could be swayed so easily so long as one empathizies completely with him, lmao. Her desire for Hiro to stay with them surpasses even her need to stay alive, despite the precarious situation she's in, she completely empathises with Hiro's predicament and is willing to shed a stream of tears for the fact that nothing can be done. Or at least that's what she thought.

There is no doubt that Hiro's actions thus far were vile, but although he can never truly be forgiven for his sins, he might as well try to redeem himself by saving more than those he has ended. Now Hiro is in the same boat as Inuyashiki, although Hiro is far more open regarding his benevolent deeds by using social media to spread the news of his miraculous services. I wonder whether Inuyashiki and Andou even knew Hiro was doing all of this.

But of course, Hiro is still a fugitive at large, one that the government is dying to capture. Yet again, just when he has gotten a change of heart, reality snapped back.
