| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Looks like Togusa has dug up something big again. The men in the black suits have taken the wife too? |

| The CIS operatives have sensed that S9 was asking and discovering too much information. Because of this, Togusa would have to bear the brunt of Gouda's ire in the episodes to come. |
| "We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials, for example, to create a vacuum, then we fill that vacuum. As popular war advances, peace is closer" |
| Hooray for Tachikoma saving Togusa's life. |
 |
| Too bad for the wife. Togusa definitely got himself into more than he can handle right now. |
| Nice to see an episode mainly for Togusa =], shame about what happened to the wife though =/ |
| This episode was extremely beautiful! |
| Dam they got the wife :\ Great ep, a bit intense where the armored suits were chasing Togusa. |
| Tachikoma remembers something from season one lol |
| Togusa usually seems to be the one to find things out and uncover the truth. DeathReaper said: Dam they got the wife :\ >_< |
Crimsonwill said: Nice to see an episode mainly for Togusa =], shame about what happened to the wife though =/ I agree, I like Togusa. Good episode. |
| Togusa always manages to get himself into deep shit! The ending was crazee It's interesting how every episode so far somehow ties in with the big picture. |
 |
| Yeah, this episode was kind of creepy. |
| woah Togusa and the woman barely got escape. hooray for Tachikoma!!!!! :) and yeah those damn black suit guys just took the girl :( probably had to do with the scarred man :P sadly the guy that told them how to get to the facility had apparently died judging by the news paper. awesome2 stuff :P |
| as much as i like Togusa and his drive towards his duty, he was unbelievably careless and borderline crazy with the way he handled himself throughout the entirety of this episode. his approach to finding the truth was a lot more covert during the first season; now it just seems like he doesn't care for his life and, in regards to this episode, the lives of others as well. hopefully i'm overreacting and he doesn't get too carried away... i'd rather not see him die -_-" |
| I really like Togusa as a character. These kinds of episodes are great for me. However, I do feel bad for the wife, especially at the end. |
 |
| Its been like a minute since Togusa left her alone and shes already in trouble. D=. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Togusa finally had his time to shine. Also Tachikoma was amazing coming to the rescue like that. Looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| Well, that was a bloody battle for those refugees this episode. |
 |
| Nice action but it's still rather boring to watch the episodes... |
 |
| It was a pretty cool episode. What happened at the end made me a bit sad. Just added even more to the already sad story. :( |
 |
| Again Togusa manages to find something big.In the last season he was the one who made the connection to the Laughing Man case. And Tachikoma saved the day ^_^ |
 |
| Damn. That was pretty good. And a big case is coming right up :D Pretty interesting and intense right there. |

| Togusa: the winner who ALWAYS dig up the biggest hint and info. Film, Season 1, Season 2...without fail. And the fiancee... |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| Togusa is always a great detective, but two innocent people probably died because of his investigation. So an organisation was using an underground nuclear central unit. There is also weird men in black that make people dissapear. I wouldn't be surprise to learn that shit face guy is implicated. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| 5/5 Episode disconnected at first sight from the main theme, but it can not be. Linear plot with no frills, Togusa a narrative that shows a little too reckless, he took in a sense the case lightly, the foundations for the future are good if there will be a further development of the facts just narrated. Drawings not bad, animations and scenarios rather good. I give full marks because there is the possibility of further development of the matter told today. |

He's the pure-policeman of the group, he's the dude who gets the most 'detective' work and chases up leads and stuff :P It's his thing I guess. Rest are more spec-ops orientated. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| I kinda miss the more thought provoking stand-alone episodes that truly fleshed out the setting/characters in season one but oh well. This episode was a bit iffy due to narrative reasons but I'll let it slide. |
 |
| Seems these episodes will be more focused on the main plot more so then before. Hmmm |
 |
| boooring |
 |
| Togusa, you caused two civilian casualties. Good going. |
| Wasn't interesting as much as the 5 episodes before but still a good episode. |
| Not the best episode, a bit too boring. |
| Togusa, always stumbled upon big trouble alone.. Well at least this time Tachikoma is there to save everyone xD Not the wife :( This episode just like from season 1, saving the trouble for now..then go boom in the later episodes Made me so curious what's with those men in black suits Looking forward for the conclusion with those men in black |
"Signature removed"   |
| That was stupid of Togusa to leave that lady alone like that, especially given what happened to her husband its only natural she'd get canned too, (also the guy who lead them there got eliminated by the looks of it, his picture was in the newspaper like he was missing or dead) , especially since they went so far in to investigate that place that was clearly heavily guarded even just looking from the outside. I guess here is what he should have done: Should have just asked the dude for directions and not made him come all the way very close to the site that he escaped from. Should have sent the lady home and NOT brought her with him (especially after the story the dude told Togusa! Dude was the last escaped survivor from those workers =.= ) And then he should have waited and asked section nine to help him out later to investigate the place . Feel bad for the wife and the last survivor guy. Even still, these Togusa episodes are still always fun to watch at least he seems to always stumble on crazy shit. |
 |
| How about those CIS men in black, though, leaving her cell phone on the ground? And not that Togusa calling Aramaki at the end affected anything, but why does anyone ever update team members on an open case through voice in a public area? I'd assume surveillance could be anywhere. |
| Togusa f*cked up here. Still the second best detective besides Motoko Notice how Togusa received 460 mSv of radiation. Hope there are not sequels for it. |
| -------- |
| I really like Togusa but here he made a mistake by letting the fiancee alone. He also seemed not to care about that Goda guy asking around for the same information as him. I really liked this episode and the suspense. |
 |
| Oh shit, this episode definitely ended on an upsetting note. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Togusa is a great investigator, but sometimes he can get a bit careless. He doesn't have a full prosthetic body like Batou or the Major and could easily get wacked here. Not to mention that he put a civilian in mortal danger. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Did i just witness the most stupid episode in the whole continuity? Togusa was a joke. |
| Whenever it's a Togusa episode things sure do get tense. Gouda is looking more fishy with his involvement in this situation as well. Every loose end up got covered up except for our central character. What a bummer. |
 |
| The big bad from last ep got isekaied offscreen, Togusa got over his fear of radiation real fast and put a witness in mortal danger, and the daring rescue was also skipped for budget and plot. 4/10 - They could've at least put her in a pod or a tracker on her with all the shady peeps stalking her about her husband's blackmail. And why not use camo if you're gonna trespass? Even the big bad guy had it so i guess they'd be prepared for that. |
