how tf is anyone saying the animation was worse this episode..? i was in total awe the whole time !! the comedic scenes were great, loved the style when the freeze attack happened, and even the little unlined bits.. MWAH! perfection. definitely a change from previous episodes, but this one was super beautiful.

So, they are just going to accept the kid’s freezing ability? The fact he is a hiruko? I get the two MCs accepting, but the dad?

Waaacckkkk. Finally learning about the hybrid people. This show has amazing emotion portrayal. Really funny moments in this one. The light-hearted moments put you at ease before the heavier scenes. Lots of feels, so I'm loving it.

That ep was not bad!

Ngl it was a bit slow at first, but the ending made it worth it :D. I was not expecting that plot twist at all so it completely caught me off guard Oo
I am excited for the next ep ><!

Okay, I get that the kid is the son of someone with special powers like the orphans in the walled garden. But how did he freeze the main characters while being with the other guys... and also taking the form of a giant spider? This anime throws too much shit at the audience that is supposed to be a mystery but ends up just being confusing.

WTF Juchi really was kept as a "breeding pig", damn. Juichi, Jugo etc. literally just mean 11 and 15 etc. in Japanese.

Kiruko is jealous of crossdresser Maru kek. Glad they brought on Kai Ikarashi and Tetsuya Takeuchi who have experience for Trigger and Gainax shows for this episode. I really like Kiruko's scene and also how the ice and fog distort the view of duo on the classroom. Not to mention the comedic FLCL and KlK-esque exaggerated moments.

Since it's established Hiruko developed from the corpses of humans infected with a certain disease, I think the Ice Spider was once the mother of Jugo and he inherited the ice powers from her core despite looking like a human now. Maru might be like him, the offspring of a Hiruko (what became of Tokio, perhaps?).

Because she had a core intact when the women of the pig farm lynched/executed her, the Ice Spider Hiruko emerged from her remains.

Juichi got revenge on a fellow boar whom he saw as a snitch.

The new fifth years look like trouble yo, lookin like they would bully their own senpais.

Juichi fills a niche character trope I always enjoy seeing and this episode 100% solidified it. What a good ending.

All the complaining in this thread just makes me doubt I'm watching the same thing... It was amazing by all accounts and you either don't get it or have a taste for mediocrity. Sorry, not sorry. XD

Let me guess, these two women which tried to escape with a baby and Juichi were those two teenage girls from research facility which liked to kiss each other. Since they were 'ill' and were killed by 'neo amazons' for a treason one or two of them became a monster/s. This is why the monster didn't kill males, reacted on baby's cry (since he is a son), and use the same freeze ability as a baby. Why anime didn't show even a hint about it then? It's like it try hard to make an impressions instead of doing things right.

A great episode that's unfortunately held down by some pointless fanservice (Juichi fondling Kiruko served no purpose and was in bad taste and the episode and series would have been better without it)

One of the most interesting episodes in terms of animation, so many different styles.

So I'm guessing Yugo is the kid of a woman that was in the factory all those years ago.
Now that we've figured that out I'm wondering if Maru is the son of Tokio perhaps. - It lines up with the fact that he's 15 and if the Calamity started during that time, not to mention that they look a lot like each other.

Juichi has his hands full though, I wonder how long it'll take for him to accidentally get frozen to death by Jugo.

Also seems like the next batch of Man-Eaters ... uhm kids entered the factory, they have the crazy eyes O_O

This episode was something else. So that baby is actually a Hiruko-chan now eh? It's amazing how they have supernatural abilities. Maybe this virus was intended for supernatural abilities but it all went to shit. That breeding school ground though was creepy, so all the girls in there were killed off huh? GOOD! They deserved all that. That was definitely a divine intervention. Women are crazy. I'm glad Jugo is still alive though, and they got reunited. Father and son reunion! Also, so that guy was the one who screamed and snitched? He deserved that death.

So do man eater babies grow faster than normal human babies. That seems so. Also begs the question on whether normal human babies are even born anymore, Juuichi's son created ice around him. Would it even matter if someone got pregnant anymore? It makes you wonder that the man-eaters exist to bring the human race to an end.

The episode was a lot different to the previous. Must be under a different director than the previous, with a different animation style in many parts.

I wonder if Maru and Kiruko will even make it to Heaven. Every place they go to that seems to be Heaven just turns out to be a different kind of "salvation". And also if they do make it, will they manage to save Tokio before something deadly happens, considering Tokio is a seemingly normal human being compared to Maru.

Love the animation in this episode, so expressive!
It was definitely a shock the way the episode ended, thought it was going to be a happy ending but nope.
I wonder what will happen in the next episode.

Lot of nigh experimental animation in this. The anime did cut out some bits of Jyuuichi and Kiruko & Maru's trip, such as the back window getting busted; but it supplements those moments with a greater emphasis on the day-to-day mundanities with some awesome background art and music. Anime has consistently excelled at making everything the main duo does feel real, part of a lived-in world.

A boy in a girl's body being jealous of a boy dressed up as a girl. Bravo Maru, you get full grades as a trap.

Well shit got bloody and brutal by the end. Juichi avenged the betrayal and went bye bye with his baby icy boy. Maybe I'm just reading too much BL, but considering how his hottie friend acted when Juichi escaped and then after the reunion, being the one looking after Jugo because "of course, it's your son", I thought he didn't want him to leave... so um yeah, not a happy pride month for the guy, and no death by snu-snu for anyone since the women were killed off (thank god).

I'm feeling the two doctors in the facility have some history as well.
The new kids ain't giving me good vibes, lookin' like they're making a Village of the Damned remake.

BOYS I FIGURED IT OUT:

The parents of the kid Juichi had must have been the two girls that were together inside the kids facility. This makes sense since its mentioned that the couple was 2 girls, and the fact that the kid has superpowers ties back to the facility
