Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| "I am a japanese... I am a japanese... I am a japanese.... I am... Tenma!" No, you're going crazy, that is! =S |
My mission: Save the world! My weapons: a controller, a bunch of friends and lots of Anime! |
| i had the same reaaction to johann when they read that picture book |
 |
| Lunge was kinda weird. |
| i hate runge..... |
 |
| Suspecting the story is the images in the ED. Really creepy. Can't wait for the ceremony, and to hear the rest of the Czech story. Angry at Lunge for abandoning his daughter >:( |
| Wow probably a good clue as to why Johann is Johann was just missed by Tenma, really though at some point the girl would mention her friend being the secretary of Schubert or mention his name but nope. Also wonder if it really wouldn't be that noticeable sitting on a book shelf like that, feel he would have to move alot farther back to not be clearly visible from people on the first floor, especially those on the stage. |
 |
| To think Lunge at some point in his life actually had the capacity to spawn a child... I think that's the biggest mystery of all. |

DOMO DOMO DOMO DOMO DOMO. *bow* ...oh wait, that wasn't suppose to be a weeaboo? :s This exactly. I was watching the dubbed version of this and Runge's speech to himself made me crack up. I could Imagine more than a few users of this site reciting that mantra before they get on |
| Runge is back in action! About Episode: So finally Lunge is in Munchen still he is believes Tenma is supect. He did go really deeply believing it almost if he had been some kind of hypnotize form. I mean he is becoming whole another person. He is becoming Tenma number 2. I feel sorry for Lunge not seeing him family. Definitely he should been going there to meet his girl and baby. Rudy got great advice from that other guy when he was questioning him. It also explained some things about Johan also maybe what is his next move. Doctor tried telling Johan's parents about it. But why couldn't they just listen him. I mean next time Johan visits them. I am pretty sure he is going to eliminate those parents of his. Kind of feeling bad for fosters to finally saw what kind of kid they have been adopted. Again Tenma in library there is already been couple of episode Tenma in library and of course Lotte appeared there to look for translation book for the picture book Johan read and when she began to read it. I wonder if this text has some meaning in it: "Once upon a time, in a far away island..." There was a monster without a name" "The monster wanted name so badly that he couldn't stand it" "So the monster decided to go on a journey. This is definitely talking about Johan. Because as we know we don't know Johan's real name. So technically he don't have a name. Wanting name could mean If he wanted to become popular and everyone notice him. That would mean his perfection in everything. Journey would mean he go to study psychology and learning about how to manipulate people to gain their trust. That island part could mean that he went far away country to gain these things. 5/5 |

| "Once upon a time, in a land far, far away... There was a monster without name. The monster wanted a name so badly that he couldn't stand it. So then the monster went on a journey. What a strange book and quote tbh. |
 |
| Runge was as strange as ever. |
 |
| Runge just what are you doing with your life?! He's reached the point of no return. |
| Runge's obsession with Tenma's case is going to drive him in to the corner. What is he going to do with his life after he solves this case? |
 |
| Runge's obsession with Tenma's case reminds me of Dexter with Maria Laguerta. Although Tenma is not a killer. |
 |
| wow another amazing one!! tbh it didn't feel weird when Lunge started acting like Japanese. he does look more like a Japanese middle age man tbh rather than a German XD and wow were there alot of Japanese people in Germany in the 1980s? such a shame his only chance of seeing his daughter for so long and his grandson had to be waste :( feel sorry for her :( Lunge's obsession with Tenma is just wow!! even started acting if he was Tenma in a situation like this. looks like he managed to copy the Czech book Johan was asking. shame Lunge didn't know that Johan was the secretary of Schubert. such a boss he's reading something that's not related to his work, and even admitting himself XD shame about Johan's parents still shuns the truth just because they have a big house and everything they need. wow if only Frank Lotte let Tenma read the book he would have known this is from Johan!! and wow the security was kinda useless, though this was in the 1980s plus there were no cameras back then. so Tenma will finally kill Johan there O__O next episode is gonna be intense!! |
| Hes sooo dumb!!! Lost his only chance to redeem himself. |

| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| I cracked up when lunge said "domo" to his daughter on the phone. gotta love him. |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| Lunge is such a scumbag -_- |
unclesnapple said: We now know where Johan's monster quote came from, but that's kind of a minor detail. On the contrary, I think it could be plot-critical. That book is the key to understanding what's going on with Johan. It sounds quite strange/dark. Perhaps Johan is this "monster without a name"? Lunge's theory about Tenma has yet another hole now. If he didn't care to stand out as the businessman said, then there's no motive for him to have killed the hospital director at the beginning of the series. At that, the monster quote (which Lunge is familiar with) comes from a picturebook the blond-haired secretary to Shubert wants. Given that Gillen already identified said boy as Johan, there is no longer a reasonable basis for Lunge to continue insisting Tenma is Johan. |
| Facepalm. Runge can't be saved. |
| Ah ok... I get it. Tenma and Johan have the exact same charismatic effect on people, albeit through different means. |
| Wow Lunge.. wow. What a bastard. Doing that to his own daughter. Did he actually believe Tenma would do that kind of thing to his daughter (if he ever had any, that is)? "Tenma is not close to his family, and I'm Tenma right now, so of course the logical thing to do is to break the promise I made with my daughter." Bulls. Anyways, Tenma, babe, are you sure you want to shoot from that spot? |

| I find it funny that Tenma is using a .338 at that short of a range. He can't be more than 300m away from Johan. A lighter rifle would have gotten the job done easily with the same results. |
| Typing on an ipad is like driving carpentry nails with a sledgehammer. |
| Lunge confirmed weeaboo. Looks like Lunge ditched his daughter. Lunge really is giving up his family just to find Tenma. Welp...I can say that Johan's foster parents are almost certainly going to die for not taking the doctor's advice. Quite the build up episode we had here. The episodes coming up are going to get really intense I can almost guarantee it. 8/10 |
| Ahh Lunge, you cant be serious. She is your own daughter idiot. |
| So, I think I got the info I needed for why Johan was going or trying to get close to Schuwald. Looking back at what he orchestrated in the orphanage, and, later the money laundering bank, when he left, I think he will go for the kill of Schuwald in order to create a chaos, that might engulf the whole of Germany, especially the economy, since the people that talked to Lunge said that most of the companies and those associated with Schuwald(and his assets) were taking a close look at him and wanting to invest/trade/buy stocks(?). If that happens, or it already might have, there might be a (huge) stock drop if Schuwald is killed. I think this is what Johan was experimenting with his underground bank, and I think this is how Johan's mind is working, as a serial killer. He's removing ones that are close to the person, isolating them(see Wolf), then gets close to them, and, then, probably kills them in order to cause chaos/despair. Tenma sniper spot is laughable, and once a shot is taken, there's no escape whatsoever, and if there'll be no silencer, it's an even more easily detectable spot, whilst a gun might've done a better job with a silencer. However, I doubt he's going to kill him. |

| Idk meh episode. Not bad, not good. Just... is. |
 |
| Ah, so are the pictures in the ending supposed to be from the picture book? Interesting. 5/5 |
 |
| Lunge pissed me off |
 |
| Tenma's such a camper! |

| The only difference between Lunge and Johan is the fact that Lunge is relatively harmless to society because he found a fulfilling niche, which is to solve cases and catch his prey, his japanese impressions is what Johan does on a day to day basis, only ever utilised when doing detective work. Had he had even a pinch of anarchic desire, I really as so far in the series can't see why he couldn't become a murderer like Gillen's subjects. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Lunge is Tenma (in his head), he's a mess. He didn't even go to see his grandchild because he thought that Tenma wasn't close with his family. |
 |
psygol said: The pictures of the ending are the ilustrations of that book, right? I like the ending song, it sounds a little funny. The tone is original. Yeah I though that too! Things are getting intense for the showdown at ceremony! |
 |
| I'm honestly confused on how lunge ever started a family...he doesn't seem like the type at all. That was just terrible of him to ditch his daughter like that. |
 |
| judging from the fact there's 30 episodes left i have a feeling things are not gonna go tenma's way. also that sniper spot is... questionable to say the least. it didn't look like he has a silencer, and he has no method of escape that won't give him away. that being said i'm not sure if he's gonna break bad and actually attempt to kill johan. |
im apollo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they/them pls  |
| Pretty sure Tenma doesn't really even care about getting caught. His whole approach to this up until now has been very self destructive. Likely as a result of his feeling guilt over saving Johan. He likely expects to be killed or sent to prison after this is over. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I had high hopes that Lunge will try to solve the problems with his family like he was going to do, but not to my surprise it seems his obsession was stronger and know acting like Tenma is an indication that he is Cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs. Like I said early when this man realize that his obsessing was for nothing and because of that he lost his family and credibility as an detective I think he really is going to end in an mental institution... |

| Oh Lunge you're the worst dad ever Time to roll the action, who's going to win? Well I don't think there's anyone going to win this xD |

"Signature removed"   |
| Lunge was hilarious this episode. I've transferred from sub to dub last episode and it's hilarious to see him imitating Tenma. The whole Japanese karaoke thing too The way the Japanese guys say 'domo' sounds more of a mockery than anything lmao. For some reason their singing seemed almost on point. |
LeMastaJul 19, 2017 7:42 PM
| The right translation of the passage would be: "Look at me! Look at me! The monster in me is still growing!" And not "has grown this big"... I want Nina/Anna and Tenma to meet so badly!!! |
 |
| Watching this subbed but may have to re-watch it dubbed to appreciate the ridicule of Lunge. Lunge is currently my favorite character =D. Stop hatin' |
