| I kinda sorta like the general direction of Shishigami's character progression and the dynamic of his and Shion's relationship... ??? I mean, I get the general idea why people don't understand how she could be "OK" with his history of murder, but I think the message is clear, even if a bit trite: there's room for anyone to change when shown love. And Shishigami's attachment to his mother, his willingness to come to terms with his new identity in a more humane way, set his character up for this arc. It was already made clear affection is his anchor. So I guess I hope the proceeding events don't go the predictable route by repeating the events with his mother's suicide. I'd rather see Shishigami's change be permanent. |

| Okay...this shit's getting stupid. Instead of being terrified by the fact that Hiro's a mass murderer, Shion sobs "don't leave me" and decides to accompany him on some Superman adventure that'll somehow make up for the massacres he's committed before? |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| what a change but it seems it won't last |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| It's time that he comes to realize it's not possible for him to live with humans anymore. Based on their rules he's a threat. |
| And still, Bill will live on. He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god. And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living, until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from. He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out. |

If she was introduced as a level-headed character, that would be the case. She let a murder suspect to live in her house. |

| Hmmmm he's definitely gonna get triggered into being a psychopath again |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Holy shit. Every single time when he's trying to reform.. |
 |
| If the girl Watanabe dies Hiro's gonna go another killing spree. Fuck. |
 |
| Hiro can't ever work off what he did to all those families. I didn't think the good guy act was gonna last for very long. Looks like next ep shit is going to hit the fan. |
 |
| Nice to see hiro and Shion's character development. Hiro won't be staying good guy for too long I think |
 |
| Shion. Hiro returns. He cries. That man jumped in front of a train. So I guess Hiro wasn't actually making a Gantz reference. Shion enters the room. Hiro tells Shion he's the killer. Hiro shows her his back. Fly in the sky. Shion doesn't want Hiro to leave. Hiro will save lives. Dat hug. Ms. Nakao. WTF! Cancer again? Dat almost jisatsu. She wants to live. You damn kids. Dat message. Cure? Hiro appears. WTF! She got prettier. Hiro saved 53 people. Fly in the sky. Hiro will cherish Shion forever. WTF! Did obaachan just fart? Oh shit! They're here. Dat ending. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Shion's complete unconditional acceptance of Hiro despite what he is or what he'd done had convinced him to turn to a new leaf by helping those in need to make up for all the lives lost in his sadistic and mostly random killing spree. That didn't mean that the authorities would get off his case though. There's a strong chance both granny and Shion would turn out to be collateral when their residence gets swatted... If Inuyashiki found out about his efforts of penitence saving more than he had killed, I wonder if that would change his opinion of him even for a little bit. |
 |
| Relationship between Hiro and Shion is developping He's trying to become a nicer person after all |
 |
| The worst episode so far lmao. He is good again cuz reasons and the retarded girl is just a plot device. Ofc someone was going to find him. I think that she and her grandma are going to die so he can will be evil again. 1/5 |

Old_School_Akira said: I hope this girl dose'nt become like misa from Death Note. Why is she in love with a murduer? Why is she in love with someone who dose'nt have a beating heat in his chest? Why is she in love with someone who can't have sex? Can machine people even age? I guess Hiro is the new Hero of this anime now? Where Grandpa robo Jesus at? Didn't she fall in love before knowing that he's a murderer? I don't think love dies in an instant. Besides, I know a lot of people irl that think the guy can change for them and are madly in love because of it, lol. On the other hand, I think it's quite the "Why is she in love with someone who can't have sex?" thing. That's the last thing I care about whenever I fall in love, tbh. |
| That's the reason of him to kill innocent people?!!! It's too shallow for me!! I expect horrible trauma but it's not! I'm so glad that he finally use his power on good things! But he still need to surrender to the police ;( the girl able to change him but I think another disaster will happen ;( |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Glad to see that Hiro is finally putting his powers to good use by healing others who were on the verge of death. Maybe if he continues, he can be 'human' again. And the flying scene with shion, pfft it reminded me of I hope the FBI don't accidentally injure or hurt Shion and her grandma in the next episode. >~< |
 |
| I wonder if Hiro has healed Shion's cancer... |
| Well it's now wonder Hiro being found out so quickly....maybe he'll had to decimate the earth soon.... |
| So some serial killer simp told a serial killer to stop killing and he's like 'okay' in fact he one ups it by saving people instead... tf?! At least the swat squad at the end makes more sense than whatever tf this episode was. |
 |
| I hope Shion and her grandmother don't die. Karma will catch up to Hiro. Nothing is going to change the fact that he killed people out of boredom. |
 |
| Shion the girl is actually falling for a mass murderer? Seriously? I guess she's a lunatic too if she's housing another lunatic. Hiro is changing again due to a woman. Hiro saving lives and Inuyashiki being absent from the entire episode was a huge 180. And with that, I'm starting to see the flaws of this anime. It's way too short for the type of story it's trying it tell. At least it's binge-worthy. Very unfortunate. Peace isn't everlasting. I guess Hiro will be forced to keep killing. |
| I think the reason people are considering it a "sudden change of heart" (when it's NOT, far from it) is because they don't understand his character. He only cares about a small number of people and when he does, he obsesses with the idea of (over)protecting them and keeping them happy (Ando, his mother and now the girl and grandma). But aside from that, he doesn't give a shit about people, he's still a psycopath. He doesn't care whether they live or die, he just does stuff whenever and however he feels like it. He's careless like that Vindicater said: No he had a change of heart when she cried not to be left. He is using her to replace his mother because even psychos need to feel loved. the fact he asked her after saving all those people if she liked that kind of thing. He is a complete and utter nutjob. GoldenDevilGamer said: Hiro's change in character might feel sudden, but that's also the type of character he is. He doesn't think about anything. If he feels like killing, then he'll kill. If he feels like saving, then he'll save. Exactly lol you people get it. I really thought he would drop her though xD plus he saw the light and everything |

| Hiro Is Awesome Man . Anyhoo , If Both Camps Talked We Could Have A Peaceful Anime Like Hiro 'I Won't Kill Anymore' And That Moment Ando Duck Tattled To Police . Lol |
| Teenage love is dangerous xD I mean being head over heels for a psychotic murderer like Hiro makes this girl a psychopath too, but still this isn't the first time when we've seen something like this, at least in anime. Though that change of heart is too sudden to feel otherwise for Hiro. Good that he's saving people, but guess those days are over now. As it seems japanese have sent a special operations group to get rid of Hiro.. as if it would do anything to him but still. |

| Shishigami in his Jesus era 🙏📿 |
| Step over gramps, here comes Hiro the Hero! Nah for real though, Shion's desperate wailing that goes against Hiro's expectations completely puzzled him. Hiro's twisted personality could be swayed so easily so long as one empathizies completely with him, lmao. Her desire for Hiro to stay with them surpasses even her need to stay alive, despite the precarious situation she's in, she completely empathises with Hiro's predicament and is willing to shed a stream of tears for the fact that nothing can be done. Or at least that's what she thought. There is no doubt that Hiro's actions thus far were vile, but although he can never truly be forgiven for his sins, he might as well try to redeem himself by saving more than those he has ended. Now Hiro is in the same boat as Inuyashiki, although Hiro is far more open regarding his benevolent deeds by using social media to spread the news of his miraculous services. I wonder whether Inuyashiki and Andou even knew Hiro was doing all of this. But of course, Hiro is still a fugitive at large, one that the government is dying to capture. Yet again, just when he has gotten a change of heart, reality snapped back. |

| Well this was unexpected anime for me. Love it! |
