A taste of what Tenma's life could've been like had he not operated on Johann and instead married the hospital director's daughter. Consumed by his work, having no strong connection to his own wife, ending up kinda lonely..., and yet, later on leading a peaceful existence and saving the lives of his patients who'd love him. I wonder if Tenma realized it, too, what Johann took from him, and whether that's the reason he decided to go for a kill now.
I'm also glad the boy stayed with him. It's the little orphaned girl all over again, hopefully Dieter brings up the humanity in Tenma the way she did in that soldier.
I really liked this episode.^^

Well, even though it felt like a filler, the episode was "fast" for me. More often than not, the bodies' proportion sure looked weird.

Tenma will have to think of something to cover his identity and to look less recognizable, since an Asian man travelling with a, I assume, German boy do stand out. He should get rid of Dieter, but I can't blame the kid for being unhappy with that.

Lovely episode, absolutely lovely. This is almost like Mushishi in a modern, German setting. I suspect a large swath of this series will be an episodic, pseudo-connected chain of events as the last handful of episodes have been. And so far that approach is working very well.

Ok I guess I'm lenient still, but I don't mind the predictability. In fact, I think these episodes are great for world-building, as it gives us an idea of what information Tenma can gather from the folks or do for the folks.

I was so sad to think that Dr. Tenma almost left Dieter behind :( Dieter seems attached to him already. I really wonder what would happen next, and I hope that nothing happens to Tenma and Dieter.

Dr.Schumann had a similar circumstances in his past life just like Tenma. Yeah until he mentioned how good his lover is.....

I think there is a hidden deathflag on top of Dieter's head.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

"...Because he was Asian." It's okay, officer lol.

Anyway, I thought Deiter was gonna end up staying at the village too. But sheesh, looks like he's gonna be staying with Dr. Tenma for a bit longer. &++ he's got quite the task to do too.

Props to Dr. Tenma though. He's dead set on taking Johan out, but he still has a heart of gold despite all that he's been through

LOL Tenma and Dieter’s relationship seems emotionless. He left him with that doctor without saying anything to Dieter. And when Dieter follows him in the end they just nod at each other XD. I don’t know but I find it funny. Anyway, they just starting so maybe their relationship will eventually go deeper.

And I think Dieter will be an additional conflict for Tenma once he came face to face with Johan. He might use Dieter against Tenma.

Average episode.
Kinda forced on a couple of occasions, how all turns out good for Tenma...

Other than that, the story was pretty average.

Man, this dude just walks around in public with no care in the world.
he doesn't have an alias
he doesn't even try to change his appearance (looks exactly like the wanted poster)
it's a miracle he hasn't been caught yet, that or just plot convenience.

Anyway, I liked the episode it was cool when Tenma said "saving countless lives is my goal, but before that there's a certain man whose life I need to end" that was surprisingly badass of him.

I just started watching this series and wow what a great ride, every episode had me edge of the seat and each time Doctor asks for information, the rabbit hole went deeper.

This episode doesn't feel like a filler, I liked it too.

I thought Dieter would’ve stayed at the village but I guess not.
I’m actually kinda happy Dieter and tenma will stick with each other.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree seeing how stubborn the mother and police son are. Its interesting to see Schumann's past resembling that of Tenma yet with a different path taken of marching up the promotion highway.

The line in the end was much more dramatic in the manga. I think it went "No matter how many lives I save, I must kill a certain man" When I read that that gave me goosebumps. Really good anime and manga!!!!

Everyone is calling this episode boring. I found it enjoyable.

I liked this episode because it shows the dichotomy of Tenma's situation. He shows that he cares and wants to save lives, yet he "needs" to kill a monster, Johan.

Doctor Tsundere and a cop that didn't snitch.

Dieter should have stayed in the village. If he keeps on following Tenma, there is a good chance he'll die.

I was surprised when I saw Deter at the beginning of the episode and I’m not against him staying with Tenma but at the end it felt like maybe Deter should’ve stayed back at the village but either way it’s cool

Idk man, I liked this one, it was enjoyable. I guess this is what people mean when they say Monster's pacing is slow?

Like, ultimately, this village and the doctor and the woman he likes probably don't matter in the grand scheme of the story, but I still really enjoy these side-missions regardless.

perhaps the scene where the doctor asks dieter to 'watch tenma carefully' will hold some prominence later on when the faceoff between tenma and johan actually happens. tenma might be at a risk of losing sight of his values towards/in the final battle, but dieter will ensure that he fights johan being himself.

That stubborn old lady... She was lucky that Tenma recognized the hemorrhagic stroke (if not outright brain aneurysm) just in time to save her life.

Neck stiffness (inability to bow your head down) indicates increased incranial pressure. It's the main symptom of meningitis, but also occurs in other cases of increased pressure, including incranial bleeding.

Feels kinda like breather episode, since almost nothing related to Johan occurs.

The local doctor suggest Dieter to follow Tenma so he wouldn't lose his morals. Not sure if it's a good idea since we know he's looking for murderous psychopath, so he's eventual safety is questionable. Probably should have listen to Tenmna and stay in the village, but, well...

I’m happy that Dieter is kinda tagging along with him on the journey, but I’m scared that if he stays around too long that he is gonna get killed. I hope Tenma can find a good home for him. Like giving him to that mercenary guy!

This ep is pretty relaxing, we're back to seeing Tenma treating patients the way he loved to. Even got to connect with the villagers and make the local doctor and policeman be indebted to him afterward.

Alas, Tenma must keep going, this village is the perfect sport for Dieter to stay though but I guess he's gonna stick around with Tenma for now.

It's amazing how interesting all these side-characters are despite their short screen time. Dieter, Dr. Schuman, Heinz the police guy, The thief from a few episodes ago. Hell, even that asshole that abused Dieter.

That ending was way too dramatic as well for such a quiet episode! Now I seriously hope Tenma takes Dr. Schuman up on his offer at least after he is done with his personal mission. Considering how these stories usually go I shouldn't put my hopes very high though I guess >.> It's going to be interesting to see for how long Dieter follows him around - at least if it is longer than the next few episodes.

Good episode, but it seems it repeats itself.. he heals someone to then be saved that to saving that person life.
And the boy should not go with him..

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P
