I almost forgot how dangerous technology (like the security robots) can be as well in this show.

Twenty Faces and his mind games continues further against Hanasaki. I feel like his mentality is going to break soon if this keeps up. Akechi also gets involved in the conflict while Kobayashi shows up at the end. Yup, I think things just got even more complicated...

Same, I forgotten about how dangerous tech is since the 1st episode. Things are getting a lot more interesting now and it's a shame for people who dropped it because it's actually turning into quite a nice little thing.

The beginning of the episode where Twenty Faces jumps out and Hanasaki follows after was pretty awesome, especially when it's tied with the OP.

Hanasaki looked genuinely happy with Twenty Faces during the parachute scene. Kind of wants me for them to team up. Akechi and Hanasaki's father doing everything for Hanasaki but he doesn't seem to get it until Twenty Faces tells him.

Looks like Kobayashi showing up the ending was out of Twenty Faces' calculations.

Next episode summary:
二十面相に銃を突き付けられながらも、明智との会話に心が揺れ動いた花崎は涙する。そこに探偵団が到着。井上と勝田は警備ロボを制して人質の従業員を助けようと協力する。野呂と大友も暴走する警備ロボを止めるために奮闘。小林は感じたことのない衝動に駆られて花崎の元へ走り出す。しかし、全て計算済みだった二十面相は予め洗脳していた従業員に井上達を襲わせる。そして、花崎を殺せば彼らの洗脳を解くと明智に決断を迫る。

From what I can get: After the detective members arrive on scene, Inoue and Katsuda help hostages held by the security robots while Noro and Otomo stop a rampaging guard robot that gets away. Kobayashi is driven by a sudden impulse that he's never felt before and runs to Hanazaki. Twenty calculated all of this and was going all according to plan. And here I thought Kobayashi was the lone factor to catch him off guard He brainwashed the hostages beforehand (what) and they start to attack Inoue. Twenty Faces gives Akechi an option: To kill Hanasaki and stop the brainwashing.

Robots literally cant hit Akechi once, what the fuck was that? Really, really lazy writing.

The first scene was all sorts of awesome though.

The only thing I liked about this episode is Akechi fighting those robots. I don't care about anything else. Hanasaki got played so easily.

Prince Kobayashi is here to save our damsel Hanasaki!

I hope the rating of the show will increase, 6.64 is too low. It is not THAT bad.

The whole series seems retarded. All the scenes are soooo damn cliché. Anyone older than 12 years can see this.

ALTHOUGH I'm really interested in it. Hanasaki is so dumb, I can't stand him and his teenage dramas anymore, just bring me Kobayashi already (and he's ALSO annoying...)

Hopefully something interesting happens in the next episode

I seriously thought Akechi-sensei was gonna die this episode because of Hana's fault for being so easily manipulated and taken advantage of. So his dad actually loves him and Akechi-sensei to go this far for him. :0

Kobayashi crashes the party at end xD

Decent episode, Definitely one of the better ones of this show though.

The opening sequence with the skydiving was really cool, Twenty Faces singing the opening was nice too. xD

Noro got wrecked xD She was pretty cute this episode though.

Twenty Faces continues to manipulate Hanasaki with ease and forces him into battling Akechi.
Seriously though, Akechi just runs through gun fire like nothing, Who wrote the aiming algorithms for those robots?

Pretty obvious that Twenty Faces was gonna cast Hanaski aside once he got to Akechi.

I'm really getting sick of hanasaski's winey personality. It just doesn't suit him, regardless of what happened to him. It feels so out of place. Kobayashi appearing at the end though, should make things interesting with twenty faces and him.

Someone was definitely having fun with those opening scenes by having them lead straight into the opening. The rest of the episode however, dragged on a lot.

I'm done. Dropped.

Not even sure what the point of the show is. I've watched bad shows till the end before, but they usually have a plot thread to make me persist through the trash...but this one is just so random and disjointed.

OP transition was interesting. Mr. Snake has alien spaceship, alienz confirmed lol. He adds another bad fashion item, the kaneki mask.
Hanasaki = toy theme continues. Mr. Snake making a smoking ref.
Dialogues so bad now. Everyone tells Kobayashi to shut up. "why" "u kno", opens voice comm to say "stop it", "wrong face" on repeat. They're barely talking to each other.

At least Kobayashi & Noro save the show.
Kobayashi: i'm a hero, "tsch!"
Noro: "shadup!"

Honosaki's new personality is greatly welcomed and justified in my opinion.
