| Tamura is easily the smartest of all the parasites, She is the only one that understands that humans all though weak individually make up a powerful force when united, but all the parasites are thinking is fuck humans there is no way they can possibly defeat us, that's just too arrogant no matter how powerful you are. |

| wow the fight is really something,.. Shinichi vs Gotoh, it reminds me of the fight style of hunter x hunter without nen, how they wrap it with more of tactics than the power of each man... |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| Ahhh finally things are getting interesting! |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" "Aah? Of course I won't miss!" "My blood tastes like Iron." "Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!" |
| BEEEEEEEEEEEWBS :O |
| So finally the original Youpi made an appearance XD (yeah, I'm glad Madhouse picked up HXH and this series) I only marathoned completely the manga after last week's episode and yet I couldn't wait for that car chase any longer, very well adapted. My expectations for next episode are sky high now. Good that we'll be having another episode of Death Parade in the meantime. |
 |
| Them Tamura bewbs tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 5/5 |

| Tamura Reiko best MILF |
| lol at those guys in the truck when that miki guy was hit. didn't they see he had blades for arms? i wouldn't even go near him lmao and it seems both the parasytes and the detective are targeting tamura now.. |
 |
| Tamura Reiko best girl |
 |
| I'm starting to think Murano's gonna die. Shinichi tells his dad to leave then Murano goes to Shinichi's house to drop off his backpack. Can't see this ending well for her. Looks like the parasites are targeting Tamura now. Wondering who will win. That PI had a 1,000 yard stare if I've ever seen one. Goddamn this anime is a fucking masterpiece. The cliffhangers keep me begging for more each and every week. 10/10 for this episode. Raised rating from 9 to 10 once again. |
| Lol ... Migi was awesome. Reiko put so much care to her baby. Poor Detective, he lost his family. Showdown at the next episode >_< |
| I am so happy this show is back on track, focusing on what made it good to begin with. The parasite invasion, not Shinichi's love life. Normally I'd call out the parasites on their stupidity for killing the detectives family instead of the detective but Reiko did that for me. They had an excuse that it was dark but even she knows that regardless of if it was an "accident" or not, all it's going to do is raise the already high tension and animosity between parasites and humans. I find it great how the more human she gets as well, the more the trust between her and the group gets torn further and further apart. The tension built so well during the Shinichi vs Parasite scenes. The epic decapitation part was great and I loved the strategy that Migi cooked up. On top of that, they made the Parasite into such a badass once Gotoh took over. Seeing the random blades sticking out of his body to attach him to trees and shifting his legs into that of a caribous so run as fast as a truck was so freaky and awesome. I have to admit though, when the guys saw Gotoh on the ground and were all, "You okay?" That was immersion breaking. It's a small misstep in the episode but I can somewhat excuse it as they might have thought his arms were just fucked up from the crash but I would have liked to see them react before he stood up if that was the case. I also liked the music this episode, it was placed very well. They did away with that crummy wubwub song it seems, though there might be a way they could use it in a future part but it depends on execution. The Detective begins his avenging. Reiko needs to deal with those who no longer trust her. Shinichi is on the run from the most dangerous parasite yet. Things are becoming more and more exciting now and I am so happy about that. I also like how the police are starting to get even more involved now. |
| Pretty badass first half. Anyway, I wonder what will Reiko do about her baby. It seems like the Detective will have him as a hostage. I can think two scenarios: She will either be apathetic and not give a shit as to whatever befalls him, or she will show some emotion. Either way, she's showing more human emotion. The experiment of having and raising that baby might've backfired on her. But then again, having more human emotion might be a plus too for "her" kind. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Next!! Reiko's showdown~!! 3 vs 1...they're coward! >:( Can't wait~ |

| i feel like the lines between good and evil will become blurred sooner or later with tamiya ryoko |

I can somewhat understand where their arrogance stems from. Allow me to use an analogy to explain. Farmers and humans would see cattle (usually) as nothing more than a source of food and money. We don't really see them as a threat because how we believe we are vastly superior to them. However, they are still perfectly capable of killing a human being. Cattle to humans is like what humans are to parasytes. Parasytes are supposedly superior to humans physically and intellectually (their rate of learning is stupid), so it would make sense that they would see humans as nothing more than a harmless food source. Though of course, we know (as well as Tamiya) know this is not true. ;) |
| So sad that the detective lost his family. I wonder if he wrote anything about Shinichi in that notepad. So his goal now is Reiko's child? I hope he doesn't kill him. And Migi looks a bit funny in Shinichi's dreams. |
| Shinichi miraculously survived that 5 Parasyte in one body guy. A formidable opponent indeed. That detective already has a death flag. Avenging his family is gonna be tough. Claiming that she's a threat, Tamura Reiko is surrounded. I hope we get at least a little bit of action in that. It looks like she'll win though. |
| Phew, that was intense! The "Shinichi and Migi vs. Miki and his five parasites" fight is amazing. It's a good way to show how Shinichi has weaknesses or limits when it comes to fighting a powerful opponent. Fortunately, Migi makes a tactic to defeat their opponent. Poor private investigator. His wife and child are killed by the parasites, and now he's going insane. He blames Tamiya Reiko for this. I hope he doesn't die in the later episodes. Shinichi's dreams about Migi having a different appearance from the real life are quite something. Good thing he saves his dad. Murano tries to give Shinichi's bag but as expected, he's not yet back in his house. The other parasites think Reiko is also a threat, besides Shinichi, Migi and the private investigator, because she's becoming more human. The OST is really beautiful. The OP and ED are still the same. I'm not complaining because they're truly epic. I always sing the OP everywhere I go, although I can't understand the whole English lyrics because you know... I can't wait for the next episode! |
 |
| Great episode! The fight was well made and just fun to watch. Can't wait for next week's episode. |
 |
| I have that feeling that Reiko will die but they are not going to kill her baby. |
 |
| Great episode. Can't wait to see what happens to Reiko |

| That 5-P creature reminded me so much of Claire from Claymore when she awakened. That form was so cool. What I don't understand though is how stupid those two truck drivers can be? Clearly you ran over something on the ground that doesn't even appear human, and yet you would walk up to it in order to assess whether that creature was injured? You two deserve to get eaten, seriously... And as much as it seems Reiko is becoming more accepting to the humanistic nature of her existence, it seems like a lot of our viewers have forgotten that she is still a parasite that took over the body of her host by eating and replacing the head, i.e. she still requires fresh human blood to maintain her livlihood. She's still a monstrous killer, albeit a logical, humanistic one with a smoking hot bod and a real live human baby to boot. That said I don't think she'll die just yet, she's the smartest parasite out there bar none (yes I rank her intelligence above bookworm-Migi). I wonder what the detective is going to try and do now. It's quite obvious he's trying to go all Kamikaze on the parasites. I don't think it'll be as effective as he wants it to be though... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Holy shit, was Gotoh threatening - he's probably the most menacing villain this year, or in recent years. Not just simply OP to the point where the protag needs to become more OP or pull something out of his ass to win as Gotoh can very well be killed by normal means, just that it's incredibly difficult. Dude seems to have it all - speed,agility,balance,more blades to attack/defend with and I'm sure he's got Shinichi beat in the strength department as well. It'll be a hard enough to take down something like that even knowing where to strike, which Shinichi & Migi have yet to find out. |
| hehe, boobies |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Art??? |
MaxClyde said: There's something I didn't fully understand this episode. I assume my current knowledge of the nature of parasytes is wrong. What I thought was the case was this: there are 2 ways to kill a parasyte-infected body: hit either the heart or the brain. I don't understand why the 5 parasytes dude didn't die when they cut his head off.. Like literally nothing happened to Miki and he just switched places with the right hand, which became the head. Does this mean if at least 2 parasytes were capable of controlling the head and one of them was chopped off while being the head, nothing happens and they can just go back to the head, and thus this body has to be killed by attacking the heart? The second question I've got is this: Earlier in the anime when Shinichi and Migi meet that thief or whatever who cut his right arm and offered Migi to join him, whom then Migi killed; I remember Migi was like "I'm not sure about this theory, for all I know he could be lying." Now from what I've seen in this episode, Shinichi was defeated in a way, by fighting with the 5-parasytes guy, so why doesn't Migi leave Shinichi and go infest some other body that's got more than one parasyte? Isn't his instinct all about survival? Or is the fact he doesn't leave Shinichi an indication that Migi is gaining some "human characteristics"? They need blood to survive. Remember how Migi can separate itself away from the body for a certain amount of time? Normally when you cut the head off the body can't function anymore but since Miki has other parasyte in it's body they can maintain the body functions to keep excessive blood loss. At least that's what I think. As for your second question, Migi has parts of his cells in Shinichi. If you haven't noticed, because of this Migi is slightly becoming human. It was hinted several times already. This is just my theory, I haven't read the manga. |
| I want to have sex with dream migi. |
 |
| Well Reiko vs three others. This will be interesting |
| OMFG THE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBSSS !! |

| Damn that was an intense fight. Huge death flag raised for Reiko here. I sorta don't want her to die since she 's becoming more human :( |

| I fucking love this anime, another amazing episode. This anime was building its way up to the awesomeness it is now, but after reading the manga last week I have a greater appreciation of how good of an adaptation this is. This episode was done so well |

Remember the class lecture she attended in previous episode? The professor was talking how our connection with out own cells and offspring can be higher than the love of our own species. I have a feeling that was a clear signal on were Reiko is heading. Basically the connection to her own offspring could beat her connection to her parasite species. I see her changing in simply trying to protect her baby and running away from other parasites or even kill them if she sees them as a threat to her baby. If the detective tries to do something to it i have a feeling she will go bananas. Btw hearing Migi talking to our main about how he looks in his dreams i got the feeling that the black looking thing on the pic of the anime is how he looks in that dream world. Who knows, he may even at some point manage to change to that form while fighting etc. |

| Gotoh is the best parasite there is so not surprised that Shinichi is outperformed here. I feel for that detective guy, not sure how he is going to react in the next few episodes. I liked Ryouko and Kana since the beginning and it sucks that both have to die :( Like it or not, the end is near for Ryouko T.T |

Though of course, we know (as well as Tamiya) know this is not true. ;) Personally i think you example isn't a good one because cattle are in the exact opposite position than humans. Basically a cattle has a high chance of defeating a human on one on one but as a species they have no chance. On the the other hand humans aren't really in any position to win against a parasite one on one but as a species they still have the power. Even if the parasites can go along killing folks they lured to dates etc they never faced humanity actually attacking them. Thinking that the best humanity can do is the little resistance some young girl going on a date with them put after being eaten is naive as fuck. Cattle aren't running the planet. Humans are and the same goes in this case as well. Humans run the planet and parasites can kill a few on one on one. Just like cattle. So no matter how you look at it the parasites still are the cattle. |
| Yeah the next episode title doesn't sound like a spoiler at all. |
 |
| Decent action scenes this episode. Cant wait for Tamura's fight next week. |
| Aww I liked Miki before the change! I think Shinichi really needs to step his game up because hes falling on the useless side at the moment. Look forward to next weeks episode for sure. o/ |
