merryfistmas said: AltoRoark99 said: I'm pretty sure it sends him back whenever someone near him dies, and he goes back as far as is needed to save them. It seemed pretty straightforward to me.Not exactly sure why it reset a second time, but it was clearly for a reason. We'll most likely see all the pieces put together in the end. But hey, if that doesn't happen, I'll gladly retract my words. No one died when he was arrested and he still was able to go back in time |
| @gabrielrroiz So I've finally come to a conclusion. The reason the revival didn't activate when Airi's house was burning is because everything turned out okay in the end. Airi was rescued by both Satoru and the manager. And Satoru wasn't convicted because Airi put the phone in his pocket before the police came. No mistakes to rewrite. If there's one thing this show could've done better at, it's properly explaining the mechanics of the revival. I'm sure if the explanation wasn't so vague, we wouldn't be having so much confusion. |

It indeed makes sense thinking like this But i still think it is lazy the way the revival works of changing only the parts where the protagonist makes a mistake |
| Oh man that scene at the end....the suspect does look like the teacher...damn. |
 |
| Only another Revival will save him at this point. |
 |
| I've seen those red eyes before... His teacher had them! Pretty sure we're gonna have another time leap. |
| Really good episode. I think I'll have to re-watch all of the episodes so far and pay a bit more attention. |
| At least he realizes everything hes done so far has been completely retarded. |

Idk how close they have to be, whether it's based on physical distance or relationships, or any of the other intricacies. But...nobody died before the second reset. :/ The resets go off whenever he gets to a point of finding out more information to solving the crime. In this case it was Airi telling him about the city councilmen and him seeing the suspect at his arrest. The first one was with his mother's stabbing (he was inquiring about the cases in 1988 again before that and his mom recognized the killer). The resets that were introduced to us at the beginning were actually leading up to the first event of his mother getting killed and him inquiring about the cases again before his mother's death. They also led him to his involvement with Airi as you see now. They all serve a purpose to further his solving of the 1988 cases. They are certainly not random, you can say his entire life was a practice run to help solve the 1988 cases during the first revival. |
| Of course Hiromi was a boy lol. Traps, traps everywhere. |
 |
| Finally some detective work done by the MC. I was really started to think he's your average dumb MC. As for plot, I'm really sure that Kenya kid has something to do with the murders. He's seems pretty inteligent too. |
| That ending scene was very shitty. Poor Satoru. |
 |
| Oh man, it's been a while since I was so invested in an anime that wasn't all cuteness and fluff. GOD THIS IS SO TENSE. |

| That ending reminded me of Life is Strange. |
 |
| Can somebody kill that men in black for me XD |
 |
| Airi is a great girl. Killer(?) spotted! Of course his identity isn't revealed to the audience yet (this is as it should be). |
  |
| That sunnovabitch teacher! (and he was the one who gave him to the police in the end). Now it's obvious who killer is... Wouldn't be surprised if Satoru snapped at him right at the place. And now it finally happen what was obvious from the first time and main hero goes to prison. I just wonder how his ability kicks in there and for whatever reason given. Still, for a Airi's mother to be so willing to endanger her own child (but maybe he(the killer/government official) convinced her to let her go to make her lead them to him). |
merryfistmas said: As far as I can tell, it only goes off if somebody dies near him. Nonsense. Remember Satoru said in the first episode he has had revivals all the time. The chance that you're around people accidentally dying all the time is incredibly small. It is just that we as an audience have only witnessed four revival, in two of which people would have died (buy crossing the road and Satoru's mom). What should really have caught our interest is Satoru's revival at the supermarket, during which in fact nothing happened, but after which his mother suddenly knew who Kayo's killer was after observing the scruffy looking character talking to the little girl. My bet is that rather than suspecting Scruffio, it was the sight of him talking to the little girl but nothing happening, that made Satoru's mom realise how deceiving appearances can be, and that Jun was not Kayo's killer. Satoru's revival was meant to prevent his mom from realising this, thus eliminating the 'need' for the murderer to kill her. However, Satoru inadvertedly did precisely the opposite, by alerting his mom following his revival. Bear in mind that revivals always occur prior to the fact. His revival after her death was triggered by his first imminent arrest, and his revival this episode was triggered by his incarceration that was to follow (and perhaps Airi's murder, since she still knows the murderer's face and will probably continue to investigate). Finally, in the past timeline, I'm guessing that Jun did take Kayo from the shed, but only to save her. Either that, or he only took the pictures to show to child protective services. His on scene appearance was later abused by her killer to frame him. OrangeJP said: The Manager is still fucking scum[/size] Yup the way he looks at Airi is kinda creepy. |

| I am glad he was able to save Airi and that now his mother friend is helping him. That killer doesn't like to hide, he really likes to show up to see his "work" |

| @nogitsunechaos: Let's just keep the discussions decent and agree that the 10 year old MC cannot get a boner despite having the maturity of a 29 year old even though his actions/thought processes tend to suggest that he just hit his puberty making him neither a 10 year old nor a 29 year old. |

ChainxBastard said: nogitsunechaos said: You literally make no sense. He went back into his older body. It's no different if I go back into my 5 year old body.....do I now get to bully my brother who was an ass because I am smart enough to manipulate than I was at 5? No...because it'd be an unfair advantage...because i'd still be 18 years old...just in my five year old body. Same thing here...he is still 29...in his younger body. He has the same exact mentality, way of acting, and likely the same urges that a twenty nine year old man has....an attraction to a 11 year old girl is creepy. It would be completely different if Kayo was also back in our younger body and it happened that way. But she is/was dead and therefore him having any romantic and/or sexual interest (the bath scene for example) is creepy when you realize this is not an 11 year old..it's a 29 year old. I get you anime lovers love young girls and what not but no matter how you try to justify it, it's creepy. Lol @ me not making sense. And your example doesn't work here, sorry. That's you blatantly using your knowledge of your older self to go back and seek revenge against a sibling. That has nothing at all to do with what we're discussing. He doesn't have the same "urges", nor the exact same "mentality". He doesn't have a filter like most pre-teens his age, and he also tended to "repeat" what he had already done because despite having the "awareness" that he did this all before, he still struggles to change what he had done because he is still in fact a child and has the urge to do what children do. And what does the bath scene have to do with sexual interest? He was just embarrassed at the thought of Kayo and his mother horsing around while bathing. Again, it would be creepy if he told her to bathe with him, or if he told her to sleep with him, but he does none of the above. Why can't you get that? I get that you're too ignorant and dense to understand what the show is trying to portray but at this point you need to keep your uninformed opinion to yourself. It is not an opinion. it's a fact. He wasn't embarrassed because they were horsing around. I just went and watched the scene...the sounds/laughter and the fact that after Kayo got out, he was watching her being dried off and blushing..... Even more hilariously...you claim he is not 29 yet Satorou himself says he is 29 and to get a grip. Took a screenshot of it...If the character himself says so, how can u sit here and say otherwise. He has the same exact urges and mentality he had when he was in present day body. More importantly since he has his memories of the present, there have been several times when he basically says something from present day that his 11 year old self couldn't know/wouldn't know...so yes, Satorou is 29 years old in his 11 year old body. Yes, the pairing with them is creepy. And yes Satorou was being a bit pervy(not in the preteen way) during the shower scene... And yes Satorou admitted himself, he was 29.  |
| The flashbacks about Yuuki...are they saying that he actually did have pedo stuff in his house? was that supposed to be his or like he said someone gave them to him, idk seems like a weird thing to focus on but they do keep going back to this over and over. |
| Thank god Airi survived. It was interesting learning about her father and how that motivates her to help Satoru. That cliffhanger with his arrest though! |

| i swear that resembles his teacher mother fcker |
 |
| Airi's such a nice girl ;__; I haven't read any spoilers yet but I think I know who the killer is... and it makes me cringe a little bit. |
| Wait, so his childhood friend was killed because somehow something somebody thought he was a girl therefore somebody's name was not on.. a list? What the actual fuck is the logic behind that scene?? |
 |
| Oh boy that ending! Really great development, let's see what's next. |
 |
| At this point I'm willing to bet that the manager is at the very least an accomplice to the actual murderer. They've hinted at him being interested in under-age girls (though Aira is 17 which is way different than 10-12), and he's a scumbag personality-wise on top of constantly trying to interfere with Satoru. |

| tears dropped at the end. I can add this anime to my too short list, even though it's been for anger this time. |
| First time in a long time I've gotten goosebumps from an anime. That ending scene was great. |
| that slow-mo ending accompanied with all the sounds. Man it made me so hype for the next episode. It looked SO GOOD |
| Yeah I was gonna say, I wonder why Satoru, a suspected murderer, kept going outside to public places... Dang that murderer knows how to keep attention away from him...this is a tricky case! |

| An interesting episode /but/ I felt couldve been better or deserved more than it got. It had parts that dragged on imo and then parts that seemed rushed. For example, what was Satoru doing so close to Airis house when it was set on fire? It wouldn't make sense for him to hang out if he and Airi suspect the police are keeping an eye on the house. I feel like it was just ~convenient~ to place Satoru there to move the story along and so he could rescue her. Still I'm super excited to finally meet Sachikos friend, finally Satoru has someone else on his side. +: Satoru and Airis friendship is developing nicely, they seem to genuinely care for each other and to help each other be happy. Also its funny seeing Satoru try to think of cool things to say. Airis mom is funny how cute of her to cover for her daughter. -: no more gen y jokes rip |

| SATORU IS INNOCENT. THAT'S A FRAME-UP. DAMN THE POLICE. Good thing Sawada believes in him too. Airi is quite clever. First, she slips her phone into his pocket so that Satoru will investigate that message and not be put in a set-up again. Then she decides to switch places with her mom to meet up with him. But nah, these policemen does show up at the last part to arrest Satoru, who is a victim of conspiracy. That man among the police crowd in the end. I have a guess who he is. |
