That episode was awesome. Tamura Reiko was the closest to being human of all parasystes It was kinda sad to see her die. And seing Shinichi "coming back" was great.
The prisoner was funny lol, the end scared me a little, havig seen his expression.

Damnit! Just when I started liking Reiko, they had to do this. R.I.P.. T_T
In the end, she died as a great human mother; protected her baby until the very last moment. That scene was so sad, it even made Shinichi cry.

Murano is still stupid though. She saw Shinichi holding a baby in front of a dead woman, surrounded by 9 guys holding guns and thinks "Izumi-kun is back!"? Give me a break girl. >.<

Uragami was pretty funny with how he didn't think twice about fapping after seeing that lady! That was a much needed comical relief after Reiko's death.
Shinichi is definitely in a pinch now. That was one intense stare at the end there!

Great episode. So, Gotou will probably be the final boss? From Reiko's advice, it did seem he could be quite OP!


I didn't even notice how stupid she was there, I think I have very low expectation now for Murano so nothing surprises me anymore. Whenever she gets screentime, I feel like watching a filler. :p

In a lot of ways, her character arc was similar to Meruem from Hunter x Hunter.


Now that you mention Meruem, I can totally see it.
Both developed tremendously in a short time and became more humane

This episode really transitioned from suspense to drama to comedy and back to suspense again with that cliffhanger.

You know a character has been in prison too long when the sight of woman can make them flip out their business in front of law enforcement officers and start spanking the monkey.

Yep. Hit the emotions real hard this time. A nice finale for Reiko; she deserved being "humanized" in her own end I think.

Shinichi, it's your trial now. Get out of there, and keep going on with what's left for you. And the ending scene in the last seconds also changed; so he is really back :)

Also dat ending was wow. Man I can't wait to see what happens next.

Togashi is said to be influenced by the parasyte mangaka. In fact, the whole chimera ant arc seems to borrow a lot from parasyte.

Did anyone else cry buckets? that was perfect with the ed ost. Hell, I even started crying again when the credits started to roll. This soundtrack is now the new "in the arms of an angel" song they play during SPCA commercials.

No you are not. Tears came out of my eyes so naturally. Tamura Reiko easily stole this episode for me. I think the episode should've ended there.

So Tamura-san has gone. I were thinking if Shinichi-kun would be going to create that baby,... but I think not. So the policeman have just some forebodings for him being a parasite or just a normal human student...

Agree.
That would be a strong ending - Tamura Reiko dramatic death. End of the episode.
For the next episode - the current ending would be great (what a suspense!)

Really great episode!
One of the best shows this season!
Maybe even the best!

HOW TO DIE IN PARASYTE:
Step 1 - Get fatally wounded in some way
Step 2 - Deliver paragraphs of speech in a near-perfect manner
Step 3 - Abruptly die after delivering one last poignant sentence

Also, did that guy have custom masturbation music? I've never heard it in the rest of the anime.

Part of me is sad to see her go because she seemed like the largest threat to shinichi with both intelligence and that skill in combat. R.I.P Tamura you were the real villain to this story and shinichi don't get caught before you get Satomi's meat Xd xd xd xd

Well that was quite an emotional episode especially with Reiko involved. Poor her, getting shot like that must of hurt but she is handling it well. RIP ;_;

It's also shown that Shinichi sees some of her mother in her. Good episode overall. I liked the focus on a more human side for Reiko. And as for Shinchi, he's learning more and more about the investigators. That cliffhanger though..


Yeah, ikr. but still I will miss Reiko. She were the epic protagonist in this series. and yeah she become more like a human in the end. very good ep. in all.

I was thinking something similar, like I was sort of losing interest, then it gets interesting again.

Anyways, the pacing has gotten soooo messed since Kana died. I don't know what direction they are going but the endings always feel premature. At least it manages to keep me coming back for more, but the "wow" factor from the first half of the series has gone missing.

Man that convict who's apparently able to identify those aliens cracks me the hell up. I bet he's dome some really creepy shit in the past.

Also, I'm still just hoping Izumi will become some sort of half-blood Parasyte killing machine and lead some extermination mission to clear them all out, but the fact that Migi cares about risks and survival so much basically wrecks all chances of this happening, sigh. Moar OP Izumi pl0x.

i was getting a lot of flash backs of that arc to and just like with Meruem i actually felt bad for Reiko R.I.P from the start i never really saw her as evil and more on the lines of someone trying to learn how to live well i guess human-like and in the end she ended up dying in the most humane way possible :(

OMG that part with reiko was so sad, that Ed means so much to me now, and shinichi finally cried!! That was actually a really emotional scene, totally didn't see it coming... Poor reiko, she died like how a human mother would protect her baby :(

Lol when she gave shinichi the baby I was like "so shinichis just gonna take that baby home....?" XD

And ah aha the dude jacking off the to the lady cracked me up so much! This is the old parasyte humor I've missed so much, it's been too serious lately

Shiiieeet he knows shinichis a parasyte!! That expression O.o how is he going to get out of this one... And shinichi looked pretty freaked out, did he know about the guy or something...?

fcking cliffhanger again.... -___- i secretly love it though
