| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn Nana is a survivor. And by surviving, she is both a tough girl and able to recover from injury. Tbh, I think she kinda lucked out this time. On the other hand, I think it's also interesting to know her past, especially the parts about her family. |

| The TRUE terror has arrived: an ACTUAL Enemy of Humanity that Nana has no winning chance of survival over! Well, at least Tachibana wants to play the cat-and-mouse game fair and square and figure out the new generation's games before he does anything next (and that includes Nana's as well), while his cat shapeshifting does all the covert work. Michiru's such a devoted friend (putting her doppelganger personality aside) to Nana though, despite the latter's backstory that was the norm until it all went to the dark and tragic side. Another lifeless body spotted, and the suspect AIN'T Nana...WHO COULD IT BE? With that, welcome to the final arc of the anime: the long-stretched Invisible Blade arc. |
 |
| As this show is being aired at night, I was a little startled by the knock on the door. |
| It was interesting to learn more about Nana's backstory, well it's not surprising that it is very dark and violent with the murder of her parents, and she feels guilty because she didn't lock the window, but well the most interesting event is sure this cliffhanger, can't wait to see what really happened |
 |
 So, I guess that was a flag. |
| Even murderers like Nana have a sad backstory, but that backstory was just brutal. Looks like Jin was right, we have another murderer aside from Nana, and the last frame of this episode (preview episode title reveal) may or may not have spoiled the identity of the other murderer. Curious to see if that green-haired girl in the last frame is indeed the killer, or just a bamboozle. |
 |
| Was that backstory legit or just a made up story? I have my doubts. Interesting twist at the end yet again, who murdered this dude. |
 |
| Aaahh yes, Nana's background is shown in more detail. I remember reading about this, and being quite shocked about how deep and disturbing it all was. Poor gal. |
| Nana's backstory was sad. Apparently, there are 2 impostors on the island (if not more). |
 |
| Nana's past is very sad and depressing. Who is SUS??? Maybe the green is sus this time or some of their classmate because for some reason I don't think that Tachibana is the killer. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |

| Well today's episode showed Nana's backstory. It is very sad indeed. Well I enjoyed Nana being beat down by Tachibana, greatest moment of the whole series. Two killers, they made it quite obvious who the second killer is...I'm gonna look dumb when my guess is wrong. Well I don't wanna call out the name yet until I know 100% who it is. OK episode :/ |
 |
| I thought about the existent of the second murderer since episode 2. It just seemed natural for the government to send a backup agent in case the first one fails the mission. An agent whose identity is not known to the main killer. But I guess that's not the case, and another person started assassin people just because. That was probably the same one who attacked Nana in episode 1. |
| So yeah my wish last week is kinda granted, Episodes like this one are kinda dull, but they’re also needed because they serve as a a breather between all the bloodshed and violence (well there is one but very little). It would put some distance between each of the murders. How ridiculous would it be if the show jumped from one murderin’ conflict to the next without pause? It’d be tiring to watch. Next wish incoming again. I just wish the show had more interesting characters in general. In our heroine, she was okay but I’m not seeing this amazing character development that others had hyped up. Maybe I'm supposed to enjoy this show not based on the characters but whatever. Let's see who's the psycopath? |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| This episode definitely cemented Nana's status as tragic heroine, depending on how things develop she will be in for another rude awakening. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Felt a bit bad for Nana. But, the episode was good. |
 |
| Well well so, we finally got the backstory of Nana. And it was indeed a cruel one, she really felt guilty about her parents death. And I guess the government uses her orphaned state to turn her as a murderer that can kill ability users. Also the fact that she plays chess and shogi at a young age really tells on how she became smart and can fight her enemies on psychological means, nice fact. So now Tachibana is playing the fair game, lowkey respect to his character (just a little bit, I know he's a villain) and he mentioned that she is not the only impostor in this Among Us game, but TWO. Michiru though is such a good friend, she's one of the most underrated characters of the season so far. And I hope she doesn't turn into her own dark side, so that Nana will accept her as an "exception" (just don't kill her pls). But oh well looks like we got another murder, but this Nana did not commit it. There's an another impostor in the school and Sorano looks sus. Next week, the continuation of the arc as the mystery of the murder ensues. |
 |
| I think the killer is Michiru im calling it,its just something fell off about her this ep |

| Well that was a good backstory, she also suffer form that kind of things. And looks like we also have a new murderer. |

eplipswich said: I have seen better acting than that before so not convinced.MegamiRem said: Was that backstory legit or just a made up story? I have my doubts. It's most definitely legit considering how she said she slipped through her response at 8:47 when she recalled her past after Michiru asked whether she was scared of the enemies of humanity, and also how real she actually looked when she talked about her past (you could clearly see her real expressions). I don't think she would have made those real expressions if she really was acting. |

| Eh,don't really care about Nana backstory honestly...i never liked her. SPOILER! - - - - - Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| Nana's backstory was really sad. :( Now there is another killer on the island that isn't Nana. |
 |
Kur4y4m1 said: Do you guys think that she really is the killer? What if it was someone else? You're right. When the anime makes a part of the mystery in your face obvious you should question it first. Could be a red herring. |
| i loved it so much !!! munou no nana is awesome !! |
| So, Nana is already a genius at an early age and quite a bull head as well, she blames herself for the death of her parents ,,,,,,but wait, doesn't she mentioned about her having a bother, and if the brother ain't the victim? Could it be that the bother may have been the one who killed Nana's parents...... Also, Jin Tachibana mentioned that there could be another killer, maybe it could be Michiru since Nana suspect her that she may have a darker side, Nakajima, cu'z it's possible that he came back , Kyouya ....just a guess or Jin Tachibana himself cu'z he may wanna pin Nana to an even more tighter corner, probably wanting to destroy Michiru's relationship with Nana or it could be the teacher. |
| We’re finally getting to the best part of the story and I’m so hyped. These last 3 eps will be awesome. The scene where Michiru grabs Nana’s hand and comforts her is one of my fave panels in the manga. With or without Shingeki airing, this still gonna be my fave sunday anime 🤷🏾♂️ |

Synchrohayba said: Damn they censored the scene with her parents corpses , it was more messed up in the manga , but overall great episode. I'm too lazy, so you could please provide a pic of the panel in which the parents are dead... Also, they did not mention the brother in the backstory, so I dunno if that was intentionally or not... |
| That was a nice spin to freshen up things. I wonder if there is an actual other killer and it's not just Jin trolling Nana. |
| Another good episode, but as a manga reader I am quite worry of how they will end this anime. I am afraid the end for this anime won't be proper. |
Kur4y4m1 said: IHateBoredom said: Another good episode, but as a manga reader I am quite worry of how they will end this anime. I am afraid the end for this anime won't be proper. True.. todays episode ended in chapter 21 and it's 9 chapters left to chapter 30. Since this has 3 episodes left, my theory is it will 3 chapters/episode for now on. Episode 11 will be from chapter 22 - 24, episode 12 will be from chapter 25 - 27 and finally episode 13 will be from chapter 28 - 30. Each of the end of the chapters is actually a good way to end each episode in my opinion, but the problem is the adaptation. Let's hope they will adapted it properly in this remaining 3 episodes. Yeah I agree, that what I hoped to. |

The manga panel is basically the same as the anime. Nana holding her fathers head is slightly more graphic in the manga.

OK episode :/ That was my favorite moment too.  I really hate it when they make a sad backstory for an evil person, It's very cliche in shounen anime. Can't they just make an evil person with a normal backstory. |

| Really loved Nana's character development here. I almost feel she deserves a Vegeta esq redemption arc! The dude looking for who killed his sister will probably find the killer in the winner of the battle royale match he won. Mmm, Battle Royale, over a decade since I watched it, might be time for a rewatch as one of the greatest moments in cinema history! Potential Spoliers: Please don't discuss the manga in the anime forum. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
I'll see you soon I don't want a spoiler |
