| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Episodes 3-6 were streamed on Amazon Prime Video in Japan on January 12 here we go again with another episode raising more questions. this time there's no mission or case going on, just internal company drama, little backstory about Hayashi's and Satoru's relationship and exploring other abilities of the crushers. in particular, this time we find out about human pigeons and company's policy of keeping an eye after its pets the confusing part that got me thinking was Katsuragi being crushed in the end scene. was the doll part a recollection of his past trauma? i just can't figure out how much do these people know about each other to exploit their mountains or whatever it's called... there's also something going on between Tsukasa and Hayashi with Tsukasa saying that "he knows him well" and the final scene confirms it  |
 |
| It's getting more interesting. I think I'm slowly gaining an understanding of what sort of an idea of the mind this show has. It seems to be all about the boundary (valley) and the co-constitutive relation (hill) between the self and the others. |
 |
| This episode is definitely a turning point for me to realize that I may become a huge fan of this show, I've already decided to complete it instead of dropping it after watching ep#2 tho. We got to see what a jerk Katsuragi is when he's messing up with ppl's mind to an extent that he doesn't mind crushing their best memories. Whereas, his sad past was also revealed in the same episode. Tsukasa showing more of his true color is super interesting & for sure a big plus for me. Hayashi is the MVP here showing how skillful he is as a senior 'pet'. It's amazing to see how the 2 talented parties confront each other by different mind tricks. Honestly I won't even mind if Tsukasa becomes the antagonist at the end of the series. Tsukasa looking very excited to meet Hayashi is a great cliffhanger! |
 |
| ok like...this keeps on getting weirder...hmmm |
 |
| Tsukasa is too calm and intelligent. Hiroki and Satoru are really cute. I love what Satoru did this episode. He seems like such a good kid, but even he can get rebellious! We learnt a little more about the organisation. Based on the fact that they are scared of the "crushers", I am guessing they're powerless. Hayashi is just too brilliant! I really don't want him to go against Tsukasa. I am worried Hayashi might lose. Katsuragi is awful! He just crushed such a sweet old lady. Despite that, I still feel bad for what happened to him when he was a kid. No one deserves to go through something like that. |
They've killed or crushed all of Satoru's close relatives to get him into their custody.. That's fucked up.. uninstallthegame said: the confusing part that got me thinking was Katsuragi being crushed in the end scene. I don't think he crushed him.. He didn't exacerbate his valley or turn his peak into a nghtmare.. Hayashi is using him as a 'carrier pigeon'. |

| I think this episode is the least "confusing" of all so far. I really liked it. Hiroki is such a baby but I totally get why. Satoru best boy of the show clearly! Katsuragi continues being Katsuragi. I loved the whole exchange of him and Tsukasa, it was brilliant. Hayashi is also pretty good and I can't wait to see what happens with him and Tsukasa next episode. From what I got, Hayashi also gave Tsukasa his peak as well as Satoru. We'll see! |

| This anime is so underrated, it's sad, but I guess it's not for everyone. Most people like to watch shows which are easy to understand, less mind boggling than Pet. I just love all the shows Twin Engine produce, can't wait for their next lineup announcement if they will have any. |
| Huh, so there -is- a reason Hiroki acts the way he does; a "pet" get restless when they're apart from the one who gave them their peak, and also in Hiroki's case his abilities are getting stronger and that's making him even more emotionally unstable. So, if Hayashi is indeed the one who also gave Tsukasa his peak then vanished for a couple years, then it's sorta understandable Tsukasa's two faced behavior (although the feeling I get from him is more that he's a obssesed psycho, but let's wait and see.) |
 |
| Nothing much to add to all the things you guys said, I really can't see the opening with Tsukasa as a victim when he might be the villain tho xd, funny how Katsuragi isn't on it, maybe he isn't that important of a character, or he is just a really old fashion pet. I am kind of curious about those chinese talking people, they seem to like Tsukasa a lot too lmao |
| I wanted Hayashi vs Tsukasa but it looks like it has been long over and Tsukasa already had Hayashi programmed before, not to mention how did Hayashi got into being monitored and probably imprisoned in that hotel too in the first place Still a great episode regardless tho |
 |
| Wow, Tsukasa did a quite 180°. |
 |
| Tsukasa has some relation with Hayashi it seems. Maybe he was the one who shared his peak with Tsukasa. |
 |
operationvalkyri said: So Hiroki and Saturou are 'pets' of Tsukasa and Hayashi respectively. Wonder if Hayashi was the one who shared his peak with Tsukasa. Loved how Tsukasa showed Katsuragi his place. He's an interesting character. His manipulation of Hiroki is suspect. I am trying to work out what role Tsukasa plays and if we will see any higher ups in the company. |
Okay, that scene where Satoru sneaks in from the back all happy to see Hiroki again.. When he's the last person Hiroki wants to see right now..  .. was delicious drama. |
| Okay. This is really starting to get interesting now. Please more episodes like this. |
| I am so confused, what are they even trying to do right now?!?!? |
| Really annoying how Amazon has no subtitles up for this episode. |

| Honestly I was liking Satoru at first, and I don't hate him yet, his character is very interesting..But I think Satoru is climbing the ranks fast, he's not dense, he's very earnest and even cute! That blush when he was hanging out with Hiroki killed me This anime has went beyond my expectations, coming here to see the discussions always enlightens me somehow. And damn, the OP/ED combo is killer. Kinda feeling for Katsuragi too.. |
 |
| Alright I don't really understand the purpose of anything anymore. But I'm enjoying it, that's for sure. |
| Now that the premise and works of this series is concise, We're ready to set into more of Pet. Katsuragi is definitely using his powers as a Crusher to hynoptise people of all kinds (and he doesn't give a heck care) with Tsukasa, and within, the young adopted Satoru and Hayashi, the latter being a Pet for years now ever since. Looks like Katsuragi and his subordinates are after Hayashi, but with all the brainwashing going on, neither party still holds advantage. Same goes with Hiroki vying for Tsukasa's affection as his "pet", and Satoru doing the same for Hayashi, all for internal Company work. The final scene where Hayashi brought Katsuragi into the "dream world" kinda is a doozy, but it seems to confirm something with the relations between him and Tsukasa. Likewise with the butterfly metaphor. Will we see a showdown between Hayashi and Tsukasa? |
 |
| Really amusing so far. The thoughts that i have is that it seems like the "boss" glasses guy (Katsuragi) gets mind screwed a lot these days.. why do they still keep him in his position..? and why does Satoru have to follow him if Katsuragi gets screwed up by Hayashi and Tsukasa that easily..? Guess we'll see. Oh and.. the Doll scene out of context is so fabulously confusing :D Showed it to a friend and got a laugh out of it. |
 |
| This show is twisted and I'm loving it. Really very creative and original concept. I've never seen a jedi mind tricks anime before. They're not afraid to push the boundaries here. Nice breath of fresh air. |
 |
| Once you get used to the show, it's amazing. The low MAL score is indicative of a lot of people just not paying attention while watching it. It's not a show that will spoon-feed you everything. You have to put the pieces together that it gives you. That, and maybe a lot of people aren't with the Yaoi vibes which I can respect, personally not a fan myself but the story and world are good enough to overlook it. |

I went to watch this the other day and they weren't up, luckily I can speak JP so not too much of an issue, but that's mad considering it had been out for 3 days at that point. |
|
 Now where did I see that peculiar looking butterfly before.. Satoru couldn't see it, but Hiroki and that little girl could.. I can think of three possible explanations..
|
| With each episode, I hate Katsuragi more and more. |
| I'm getting really confused, I guess I will read the manga after and I hate how women are portrayed in this, I hope they change it as the story goes on |
| fight between telepaths , that something new for me... |
“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin” . |
| So, Katsuragi liked dolls and he was raped in his past but I don't feel sorry for him after changing Satoru's grandmother memory. Pretty weird episode lol. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Still a bit confused on why power users and their "pets" are so attached to each other, like why Hayashi does all those things to get Satoru Even though Katsuragi is one hell of an asshole, he has one fucked up past there By the looks of it, Tsukasa is relatd to Hayashi in some way |
 |
| Tsukasa reprimanding Katsuragi was brutal. I'm really enjoying Tsukasa's real personality. Seeing him manipulate others is fun. |
| This episode is annoying as hell |
