Well, he subtely admited he was wrong. At least Runge is taking action now, I wonder if I'll see a Tenma+Runge duo on the hotel against that friggin' beast.

And man... someone kill Roberto with a fucking bazooka please.

wow, the show's become all-out horror. this ruhenheim plot is super creepy. roberto's appearance was predictable but awesome, and it's sure lucky runge finally saw the light like five fxcking minutes before the final curtain.

Didn't expected that man to be Bonaparta..

So this is what Johan wanted, a perfect suicide.. Erasing all his memories..

Eventhough in the previous eps it was already implied but this is much clearer now..

Lunge's deduction is really great but still he insisted that he was never wrong..

Btw, I hate that Roberto. She got the girl in his beast-apperance.. >:(

Looking forward for this Steiner's rage :D

Runge getting armed and ready for mayhem deserves a standing ovation!

I expected Poppe to be a lot more creepy. I hope he explains at some point what he was trying to do.

Roberto is such a ladies man. Who knew?

Yeah isn't Roberto like old as heck? Why are all of these woman going to him when he is like 60 years old. Also think Lunge is awesome now but... I feel like this is intentional because he is going to die soon. You just get the feeling that they are making you not hate him and actually like him so that when he dies its all dramatic.

Nice episode.

About Episode:

Vin keeping that weapon in the start of the episode was really scary.Roberto is back after many episodes. So he was one who eliminate that dud who told that couple winning lotto numbers.

So those towns people really are look kind of maniac. But that drunk dude really didn't do nothing. They just became maniacs all. It was good thing Grimmer stopped Vin before anything bad could happen.

Now I already knew that Nina would also go to Rurenheim but didn't knew Rudy also goes with her.

And Grimmer sure seemed really angry in that hotel. And who wouldn't guess those old couple was taking orders from Johan. About Klaus Poppe and Franz Bonaparte it seems I was right that old man with sunglasses was him. But I would thought he to be some more cooler dude or something fearful than old man.

Man dieter is good drawing pictures haha :DD Oh so Johan's plan was to erase all his memories, I see now. Good thing was also Tenma found that family and saved them from the town.

That part with Lunge and Grimmer getting arming themselves up was just so good.

The old man at the hotel being Bonaparta threw me for a loop.

Ew it's Roberto again. Disgusting when he and that girl were having sex, my eyes need to be cleansed now.

I thought the old man was creepy as hell and would turn out to be with Johan but it never even crossed my mind that he could be Poppe.

The dream team is now all assembled and armed.

Also I like how Grimmers goal is like the exact opposite of Johan's. Johan wants to erase all traces of his existence whereas Grimmer wants to prove his to the whole world.

I agree, and it really worked in my case. Even if it's unlikely, I hope he survives in the end.

True monster is wearing face of kind man. I haven't thought he was Poppe. Living rest of his life in fear what he had done. What monster he helped to create. But at least he finally acknowledged that it got out of his hands. But such man can have no redemption!

Steiner will get mad next time. Last four episodes!

Oh my...!

Now this is how you start the beginning of the end. That K.P. twist, the "perfect" end, the massacre, the rain... oh man, just too many things to highlight!

I also can't get enough of this Grimmer/Lunge team. I appreciate every character, but these two are my definite favourite and this is just too good! The words they exchanged at the end, following Grimmer's outbreak were touching. Also good to see Tenma at Ruinheim, and Nina on her way!

What am I to expect!? This anime is already in my top 3 of all time, just what will happen next!? I'll see you all at the end!

Everyone is getting crazy!!

i'm glad Grimmer and Lunge were willing to hurt those old bastard fools. just because your old doesn't let you off the hook. man Grimmer was ready to go berserk these old fools. so they're one of Johan's foster's parents huh?

i can't believed the bellboy was Franz Bonaparta!!! i was hoping he was sinister or something, but here he looks tired and ready to die at anytime.

so Nina and Gillen are coming huh? i'm glad Eva, Dieter, Dr. Reichwein Karl, Frank, Schubert are all okay.

lol that fucking bastard Roberto is still alive as hell. can't believed he didn't look for Eva after just talking to her on the phone.

wow Lunge really nailed every evidence just like that! even predicted on how will Johan end everything. the perfect suicide.

i'm glad Grimmer is not gonna kill Franz Bonaparta. he needs to witness what kind of monster he had unleashed. though it doesn't make any sense he's in this state. i thought he did wanted to control a monster? why the hell did he kill all those people in the Red Rose Mansion only to regret it after more than 20 years? what was he's true goal after all these years?

i'm glad Lunge and Grimmer got the big guns now!!! i can't believe i would see Lunge asking to get a beer with Grimmer. so fucking awesome!!

finale time!!! i wonder how will they save the town!! will Johan truly die just like that?!?! last 4 episodes T__T

Seriously? How does the girl from the sausage shop think Roberto is her prince charming? Sure he might have an okay body but geez, the guys like... well actually I don't know how old he is. He must be in his mid 20s like Johan right?

I don't know if it's safe that Tenma is making these people run into the streets and into the forests to get to safety, I feel like this could be potentially very bad.

Where is Johan? He has to show. If he dies I think I will cry.

Lunge is looking like a pretty big badass right now ha, go Lunge! Kill Roberto once and for all!

I saw him being bonaparta long time ago. I mean, why was he even given so much screen time in the first place. That and he was pretty old and loomed at that couple with venom in his eyes. Plus he was really hung up on that kid. Clues people ;p

As of now, please try to refrain from looking at MAL. its a complete mess right now T-T

I wish Roberto would die already, to be perfectly honest. We never got an explanation as to how he survived Tenma shooting him, and he keeps coming back over and over, like an annoying fly that won't go away.

But that's pretty irrelevant, in the grand scheme of things. Great episode as always, clearly a set-up for the finale. We have all the major players gathered in one place. It's not where I expected the final confrontation would take place, but it's oddly fitting, in a way.

Now I just have to worry about who'll live and die. I've gotten attached to pretty much all the characters involved in this (sans Roberto) and I don't want to see any of them die. Unfortunately that's unlikely, since both Grimmer and Lunge raised serious death flags this episode.

I really have to wonder what appeal all of those women find in Roberto. Runge with a rifle? Count me in. Looks like this is going to be the final showdown to put everything to rest and let the rain wash the rest away.

I think the one thing that was bothering me all of this time is that I knew Johan was trying to erase any and all proof of his existence, but I never could pin down the reason why. The perfect suicide huh? I wonder if he had been planning to make Tenma the final piece to remove on his way out.

the rain used throughout this whole episode reminds me of se7en, as a motif. Bringing out the grim and hopelessness in Ruhenheim, and acting as an epic stage for the finale. Great job, Urasawa Naoki.
