the chopsticks arc had to be the most lighthearted moment in this show so far. a nice change of air and pace this episode. the little girl was adorable.
also, no in ears? rip hearing
i wonder how dr tenma will use a gun, if at all in the future.

Very touching and I'm glad that we got an episode dedicated to Tenmas training.

So, Tenma is training, preparing, now he's physically & probably mentally more fit for killing. Good episode.

Well, the soldier, I assume, made it clear for the detective that Tenma hadn't used a gun before. I bet that will be soon forgotten.

Anyway, this episode kinda felt like a filler but at the same time didn't. Either way, I liked it. I'm worried about the girl's future, however: she might be taken away from the soldier.

This was very quaint. The tension's dropped dramatically, but it was a lovely, heartwarming diversion.

I loved the episode. ^^ I support the slow pacing, too. It allows me to grasp what the environment is like for these characters. By doing this, any contrasts to what the upcoming episodes are like can be immense (well, I hope so).

Well, even this show had a heartwarming episode.

No doubt that girl can use chopsticks fluently, she looks like chinese or japanese anyway.

I thought that Lunge will shoot that soldier at the back at the end, seems Lunge is not the sly type.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

Man, this show is absolutely incredible. I feel everything right in my heart. It's very rare for me to feel a personal level of attachment this strong to a story after only 9 episodes.

Tenma is the type of man I wish to become. I'm only a college student now, but someday I hope to have the kindness, courage, and selflessness in me that this man does. I hope he never loses his sense of morality and justice. If he goes down the wrong path, it's gonna hurt a lot watching that....

Alrighty, so Dr. Tenma getting a gun wasn't just some whimsical decision. Five months ago, he got some training from Hugo Bernhardt. A former French soldier and marksman.

So the kid Hugo adopted from Myanmar is the daughter of a woman he killed. Sheesh, that's some heavy stuff. He said she never smiled and thought she would hate him for the rest of his (or her) life, but the ending of the questioning was heartwarming.

Turns out she can smile and laugh and at the very least sees him as a parental figure. Meanwhile, Dr. Tenma is still crusin'. Hmm, I'm tempted to binge-watch this series, since I've been putting it off for so long

What a beautiful episode, every minute of it actually felt like it wasn't wasted on anything unimportant . Great to see Tenma managing to give back his appreciation for help with more than money . The girls and her caretaker happiness at the end is what made this episode so good.

A pretty wholesome and needed episode. I like the combination of a classic training arc (episode?) alongside the touching tale

That was a surprisingly heartwarming episode ! The ending made me so happy. This show has been very tragic so far so it's nice to have a happy ending for once. And this episode really knew how to make me care for the characters, which made it all the better.

I wonder what exactly does Tenma have in mind. Is he planning to find Anna and gets prepared in case Johan shows up, or is he heading directly towards Johan to confront him ? Either way I don't know how he will be able to find them, Anna left without telling where she went and Johan could really be anywhere.
Another problem is that Tenma is now suspected of murder, he is pretty much seen as a fugitive right now even if he technically isn't.
And this has me wonder what is Johan's exact plan. It is clear he is a psychopath who only cares about his sister, it is also clear he is the one behind the last murder Tenma is accused of, but why did he release the guy before killing him ? At first I thought he wanted for Tenma to be accused but when I think about it why didn't he let the guy tied up then ? He is a very interesting but also very mysterious and dangerous characters and I'm afraid to find out what will be his next move, I really doubt Tenma will be able to defeat him when they see each other again. And that makes me think, the guy who trained Tenma (I totally forgot his name) said he doesn't know if he will be able to use a gun to kill someone. It makes me realize that on one hand, we have someone full of humanity, and on the other hand a pure psychopath. That's a very interesting parallel, with that I think I'm starting to get an idea of what kind of path the show will take.

Complicated and sad relation the ex-soldier and little girl have, but their dinners ended up very wholesome with the little girl being able to laugh once again indirectly thanks to Tenma's beef potato dish

Wholesome.

We've reached the training arc.

Despite Tenma's motives, he's still a gentle and kind man.

Good, dude didn't snitch on him.

Tenma has been training for 5months to be a badass perhaps he might have what it takes to pull the trigger. I’m glad they recapped the training instead of just mentioning it like the usual time skip. Nice to see the girl laughing shame about her story though. GI Joe was cool seems like the girl forgave him the feels we’re good with this one.

This episode kinda reminded me of this one episode from Berserk where Guts stays in a remote location where a black smith and his adopted daughter live he would train there while the black smith would occasionally make or repair Gusts sword this episode kinda reminded of that moment
