More investigations into dream holes...

They're assembling the pieces of the murders together that relates to serial killer being able to enter dreams. I have to say, it's a thrilling episode with the amount of mystery that's been revolving this arc/story. The ending is interesting...seems Kiki will have some sort of important role in the upcoming episodes.

We're in the endgame now. John Walker revealed, Kiki Asukai right underneath their noses, all the brilliant detectives out of the wells, everything lined up now to take down the big dog. I probably should've guessed it would be the chief since he's the top ranking officer and thus has the best ability to cover up a scheme of this magnitude, being John Walker. Fukuda with his numbers was fascinating. Didn't expect his character to be this important by the end of the show. Seemed like just one of the other serial killers at the beginning but he's grown on me. His personality is a riot especially with Narihisago playing the straight man in their duo. But Fukuda drilling that hole in his head to stop the numbers then it coming back when he's the brilliant detective as cool. ended up helping Hondomachi a good bit figure out who John Walker could've been. Just have to stop the man himself at this point.

Look like I got the John Walker's identity wrong because I don't think it'll be someone audience already suspected from his suspicious behavior, but hey! At least from my experience if the story is not finished yet there can be another twist or two. We've two episodes left, that's a plenty of time.

Finally, it looks like this wild, convoluted but interesting goose chase is at a definite endgame. Tbh, Kiki being closer to the detectives all this time is a pretty neat revelation, even if it's not something particularly shocking.

Well, the identity if John Walker is not a surprise, I think 80% of us have suspected the chief, but the end though... What is she doing there? What is the chief using her for?

I guess that's the last mystery left in the anime now. I'm curious to see how things will turn out in the last episodes.

John Walker's identity was revealed to be the chief. A lot of people here were right about that.
Hondoumachi is becoming my favourite character in this show.

Asukai Kiki is alive. I have a bad feeling about this.

That end pretty much shows why Kiki was always in the ID wells by looks of it. A great twist honestly.

The anime keeps us on our toes, always wanting next episode. I love it.

I was today years old when I realised I had been pronouncing this show name wrong for three months. I'd been saying "Eye dee" Invaded instead of ID as in the id wells lmao. It wasn't until I saw the katakana that I realised that.

The John Walker reveal was kind of disappointing. Him removing the previous head investigator, closed eyes and his general demeanour made it extremely obvious that he was the mastermind. I was hoping there was some kind of twist like someone else really unsuspecting was Johnny, but alas I was disappointed. Maybe the real John Walker was the friends we made along the way. Kiki's origins and her backstory is now the main mystery for me.

Kiki looks like she has legitimate supernatural abilities which don't really vibe with the general theme of the show, but I'll be ok with it if it's done properly. Next episode should be quite interesting with seeing how the chief responds to his cover being blown.

Overall really enjoyed the episode and have been loving the show since day 1. From the first episode, I said that it was a Nolan film in anime form and it's certainly lived up to that expectation. Just hope it can land the ending properly to solidify itself as a classic.

Just wish people in the mainstream anime community weren't so sleep on this. It's criminally slept on.

Totally agreed. John Walker's identity wasn't much of a twist since the chief always was the most suspicious one but it was still great cause the way they unveiled it was amazing.

Well now it's confirmed Asukai Kiki really has her powers in real world. So I guess it was her powers that lead to Mizuhanome's creation. I wonder if we'll get any explanation for her power or it will be just a supernatural ability.

Another good episode, more talk than actions, but I feel we're gonna get a lot of action in the next episode anyways.

I'm sure most of us had picked up on John Walker being Hayaseura but like with any good mystery novel, the best part is watching how our characters piece things together and unravel the mystery behind the answer. Even before we had the clues of appearance between JW and Hayaseura, it always tends to be the seemingly innocuous ones who are pulling the strings from the shadows.

I'm interested to see where the next episode goes from here, considering the power has been cut to the Mizuhanome and Kiki's presence seems to spell disaster for the rest of the staff of Kura and the brilliant detectives.


Also considering there is the fact that Kiki had rendered 13 nurses unconscious at the same time and disappeared from the hospital, that's worrisome.

So he expects Kiki to go rampage on everyone as she did on the hospital, or even worse since we don't know for sure what she can do.

Not surprised about the revelation, but as others mentioned here, it's more about the path than it's about the destination.

I was right about John Walker. The anime did a good job showing little hints about the man, but I recognised him the moment I saw him. But, the journey was quite thrilling!!

Blimey! Kaeru-chan is right there!!

I really want the characters to return to Anaido's ID. It was the most interesting one by far!

I hope this gets a second season as well.

An interesting episode as we come to the climax.

So, as we all knew, the chief was John Walker. However, seeing the way they revealed it this episode, I think the fact that we the audience already knew that, was the point. We were supposed to already know this. It's why they didn't make a big deal about the reveal.

They just continued on and we now have a bigger issue involving Kiki and what's going to happen to our trio of killer detectives.

So we get a sort of clearer picture when it comes to Anaido/Fukada. So, really, he wasn't in on all this with John Walker, but Walker was manipulating him. He wanted Fukada dead and Fukada wanted to die so he played along even though he knew he was being manipulated. It turns out that Fukada wasn't dumb, but instead purposefully kept dying in the well because every time he went in, his OCD Arithmomania would come back and drive him crazy.
However, he had no way out in Sakaido's well since there was no lightning, so he wanted Sakaido to kill him.

I actually totally forgot that they clued us into Fukada's arithmomania several times, with his hand gestures and back in the first couple of episodes, the walls of his room were covered in numbers.

Our three detectives did well, Handomachi taking over all of Narihisago's earlier research and notes to figure out John Walker's signature. And then after interviewing Fukada, she was able put all the missing pieces together.

Although, I have to say that that makes the well staff morons, if they didn't think to interview and ask Fukada about John Walker before now. They probably could have figured this out a lot sooner.

So, the storm really didn't amount to much as Sakaido was able to figure out to use the clue of Kaeru as a focal point to get the staff to see them and pull them out. We also see how the particles were planted using one of Narihisago's pictures.
But now the Chief has them all trapped and a cybernetic? Kiki, who has been the center of the facility all this time.

So Togo and Momoki have that kind of relationship.
Their reactions where priceless when Togo said that the picture was not in the room "when she visited before". Amazing how professionals they are, there were absolutely no signs of it, especially when Momoki was arrested.

Wow so the chief was indeed JW all along (not that everyone already predicted that though). I really liked how Hondomachi deduced that, felt really nice without being too confusing


Also, was there more to Sarina talking about visiting Momoki's house or is it just me? Like the way everyone reacted to that made it seem like some big scoop lmao

Can't wait to see how this all wraps up

Very straight-laced unmarried woman visits the dormitory of a very straight-laced unmarried man... Of course the only possible conclusion was that there was a VERY personal reason why she was there.

A relatively straightforward episode for once! Either we’re closing in on the final conclusion or we’re just supposed to feel that way so they can pull the rug out from under us again. I’d be happy with either way, personally. The mystery element has been done well in the show.

I think this whole anime is heavily influenced by minority report staring Tom cruise. The entire setting and the reveal of both main culprit and the way the system works (by humans who have some extra ordinary abilities twins who can see future in minority report and Kiki in this) are so similar that you can't help but wonder how did the movie felt so boring and this feels so amazing. Might be due to run time difference and great world building for the anime, whatever it maybe this is one of the most underrated anime in recent times.

I think she was the core of the well machine..but why she got extracted I have no idea. But she does have some actual psychic powers so she will be used to attack the others I guess. I hope she will be saved.

I agree on everything, i was hoping for a plot twist but they didnt do It, It was obvious cuz they use same White hair , Well she is Alive and have powers cuz you need fantasy or something imposible to have as base on how they invented the machine, is not new in scifi that they used aliens or other faces to explote their ABILITIES to get machines to profit, so for me It make sense they exploit the girl with the "Magical ability" ... About on why he does It ? Yeah maybe cuz he is q sick bastard that doesnt like to get his hands dirty ... Poor girl, i Hope they save them soon and for sure this anime deserve a better rating, for me was also a NOLAN anime xD

Okay, so we all called it that the chief was John Walker.

One thing that I don't understand at all is why did Handomachi call him to tell him that she knows that he is John Walker. That literally gives him enough time to prepare for a retaliation against them.

I guess if she actually used her head, then there only would be one additional episode.

Well, since the reveal of John Walker wasn't even supposed to be a big thing. As others have pointed it out, they didn't even make a big deal out of it. Like Handomachi called him, and we immediately saw his face, there wasn't any mouth shot and then slow zoom out effect for example, they just showed him, and immediately moved forward.

This anime isn't about the big mystery of John Walker's identity.

I definitely agree. I was kinda disappointed because almost everyone knew that he's John Walker, but I liked how Hondomachi figured it out in a well inside a well. Two more episodes to wrap this up, hopefully it won't go downhill from here.

Some questions left for the anime to answer:
- Why does Kaeru look like Kiki Asukai? What is the purpose of the similar appearance?
- What is John Walker using Kiki for? What is the true purpose (if there is one) of these ID wells in the first place?
- What is John Walker's motive?

Well that's obvious. But I'm pretty sure the question is why he's using her for the ID wells. As in why would he need her to make the ID wells; why they were made in the first place, to be more specific.
