That actually got kinda dark this episode. I mean, masked guys with guns attacking a guy in a wheelchair? Now that's just low.

The ending got me some chills too.
This show is starting to look more interesting now. Some of the technology like that stealthy umbrella thing seems fascinating. Twenty Faces is up to no good!

Pretty decent episode, Seems a little focused on Inoue as well.

Twenty Faces finally makes an appearance and challenges Akechi.
Inoue handles the case along with Kobayashi and we get some flashbacks in parallel as well.
Inoue was crippled sometime in the past when he was on a case along with the Tennis guy where he refused to listen to Akechi's instructions and wait for back up. I suppose the guilt from not having stopped Inoue made the other guy quit the Detective Club.

The gadgets used in this episode were quite interesting, I really liked that transparent umbrella.
That must be quite a strong wall if even Kobyashi had to struggle to deal damage to it. :o

Akechi figures out that the police officer who held the tape was in league with Twenty Faces cause of some inconsistency in logic.
Well this case has definitely been the most interesting so far and I'm looking forward to see what happens next.

Kobayashi having a jerk attitude to crippled Inoue :(
Seems like Inoue didn't listen to Akechi and got handicapped, the other guy must feel responsible and left.

Hanasaki out of this case cause school and 20 faces with a new game for Akechi :)

You know the last time when Ryou Inoue's leg got cut off has a bionic leg, so why is he still in a wheel chair?

And it looks like Akechi has some skeletons in his closet .

now we are getting deeper into the plot
one full day of school a month while working is the way it should be!
when they followed up the 2000 school end with 2100 mission deadline i got so hyped
not-allowed-to-die-dude's aura seems to have taken a large chill pill and is not being as aggressive 'protecting' him. still so many unanswered questions.

Oh! another great episode! I kinda liked this show from the very start,yet for some reason the mal's rating is unfairly low.

Yeah,kobayashi is acting logical,i never seen so logical manner any character before.

Honestly that Inoue guy looks like the tennis playing guy. I can't tell them apart half the time.

Anyways finally some stuff is getting done. But Kobayashi is still kinda annoying, I hope there will be some character development later on...

I hated Kobyashi's attitude throughout the whole episode. He was so annoying and disrespectful, especially to Inoue. I'm really interested on how Inoue got crippled. Some flashbacks were shown of him, but not enough. It seems his friend feels bad what happened to him. And Twenty Faces challenges Akechi. That transparent umbrella gadget was cool.

The story were well but the way it served felt off somehow. And that weird part when intense bgm was played out from nowwhere.

We got some flashback after kobayashi's accidentally moment which broke innoue's robo leg. It's confusing though but i'm curious more about katsuda and why innoue needs to faking his sleep..

Akechi got his investigating way and it's amazing. Also it's fascinating that innoue really memorized and understood those code morse. But kobayashi's characterization makes everything worse lol. Hoping for better next episode!

Why do you do this, salty invincible emo kid?
I'm trying to like you, kid...
But that attitude of yours...


Admittedly, I was kind of amused by the sass that he gave those two villain guys.

"Why didn't you run?"

"Why should I?"

"YOU'LL DIE"

"I WISH I WOULD"

Glad it's finally getting good. I see a lot of people complain about how this show has a slow start, but I thought it's only natural for it to take time to get good, considering how many genres it's doing.

Anyways, I'm really looking forward to more, I wonder about Akechi being a murderer. Also, it would be cool if Inoue's map being wrong according to Kobayashi can play in somehow. Maybe someone intervened and gave him a fake map?

The soda bit was funny, I think Inoue's supposed to be the overly serious one of the group or something. Hard to explain why but I like him.

As for Kobayashi, it seems we're not supposed to like him much at this time. Even some other characters call him out on his shit. I think we'll be getting some development soon probably along with some levels in badass.

Am I the only one who wants to light a fire underneath Kobayashi's butt? I do like him, but his attitude when Inoue was hurt and his lack of effort is a bit of a downer. You want to die, we get it. That doesn't mean you don't care about anything at all. I want to see him get more involved and enthusiastic despite himself, and I want to see him and Inoue come to an understanding and mutually respect one another.

Also, I missed the Hanasaki action this episode. He's so adorable with Kobayashi!

It's fine episode.

It's good to see twenty face back from episode 1 and the situation is getting more intense and separated into 4 parts,each character has their own aspect,pretty decent.

Still dislike the random conservations and that white hair guy though,just go straight to the mystery.Seems like the mystery atmosphere is not well made,yet I would say I like the intense situation story though.

Eh it was an okay episode. I feel the story hasn't picked up yet though. The story is kinda sloppy in some cases and kobayashi is just being an annoying emo kid right now.

Okay it's nice that this time the case has got to do with Twenty Faces and Akechi but the direction of the story is everywhere! It's so confusing like which way are we supposed to focus on? It's like they're trying to tell us the past history of Inoue, Hanasaki's school life and then the case. I'm fine with all this 3 mixing into one but when it's so sudden that I sometimes got confused whether we're still in present time or get back to the past and whether telling Inoue's past with the ex-member of the detective club has got anything to do with this case or not. Again the knowledge of Kobayashi's power is not explain in here as well. There's more mystery in the character than the case @@ I really want to continue watching this since it's detective mystery story and there's OnoD as well but if by tomorrow's episode I just don't feel it then it's bye bye to this series as well.

Yeah, next episode will probably be the one that makes or breaks the series. We got a lot of great cliffhangers such as the mind game with Twenty Faces or Akechi being the murderer. Now to see how it delivers.

Good episode! I kind of think of kobayashi as someone who has extreme amnesia, bout all he can remember is motor skills and speech. He has no memory of human relations at all. I'm not sure how long he has been out of captivity but it's been at least a year is my guess. As long as character development is done right, he might be one of the more interesting characters to come along in a good long time.

Think of the kid as a walking, talking baby with all the selfishness and lack of empathy therein.
Baby: Mommy is asleep and I just had her awake an hour ago to feed me but... I want her to hold me... Waaa!
Grown up or older child: Gets up, watches a movie and eats ice cream, might call mom in the morning.

Not the best examples, but I think you catch my drift.

My hatest character yoshio kobayashi whiny,annoying,piece of shit,fucking emo and selfish brat. I hope he dies in the end of this series. I can t stand this guy already and one of the worst main characters I watch.

Other than fucking emo kobayashi the episode is good I like Akechi,Makoto and Ryou. I only hate Kobayashi and I hope he dies in the end annoying piece of shit.
