| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well this episode was amusing. The return of the paper bag man with somewhat thrilling in a way although not scary. I also thought the episode details the main cast well in terms of coming together. Not sure how I feel about them trying to take care of a kid though:  However, I will say that their analogy is kinda interesting.. |
 |
I like how calmly Shadow-man says that he has a bomb tied to him. |
 |
| Lol that episode was pretty funny and just fun all together....Gotta love Shadow Man and how he thinks that being a pedo is okay xD I should have known that Black Lizard was behind most of that stuff though xD Kinda funny how all those other things happened at the same time too.....I would have even believed that the baby was really Akechi's as well and LMAO I cant believe that this guy is afriad of cats xD Also, it's nice to see that Kagami didn't get executed.....I hope to see more of him as the series goes on considering that his prediction came true Overall, good episode filled with decent character development and fun interactions (Also, that baby mama was hot as fuck) |
This felt like a filler, to be honest. Probably a breather episode before they move on to the next big case.  Best part for me was the ending scene. I like Kagami and hope he plays an active role in the coming episodes despite being imprisoned.  |

| Shadow-man is my favorite character I wonder what the next case will be |
 |
| Well, this was an, uh... interesting episode I guess. But it was really pointless. |
| inb4 nakamura-san is a twenty-faces |
| That was pointless... but it was also entertaining ! Shadow-man pretty calm and friendly while he has a fuckin bomb attached to him. Best part of the episode. |
 |
| This episode was hilarious af. This was probably the calm before the storm. Looking forward to next episode! |
| I'm all for enjoyable filler every once in a while I guess. No one was murdered in this world, that's a start! |
| What even was this episode? This was so ridiculously random, even by this show's bizarre standards. Also, am I the only one who is wondering about why Nakamura walks so strangely. I've not really noticed it before, but it seemed really obvious and really strange in that scene after the credits, even more so given the context. |
| Shadow Man was the highlight of this episode. He's hilarious. And Akechi is scared of cats lol. While not a great episode, Shadow Man prevented it from being what I would consider bad |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| As much as I like this show's 'so bad, it's good' charm, this episode was just fluff. It had the usual humour but I like it more when there is an investigation going on. |
| Hmm, the episode was a nice change of pace but it was pretty silly - not what I was expecting. It seems like there are more twenty faces rising in criminal activity. |
| That was odd, but nothing bad really. Kagami is not out of the show it seems...which is great, he's my favourite character so far. |
| that was kinda enjoyable, Akechi is so sweet with kids even though he said he doesn't loke them!! the cat was so cuute too. Happy to see the Kage Otoko again he's amusing, the last part when Nakamura was visiting Kagami in jail was so emotional |
| i liked it, especially given me being an mgs fan and all, but it still was a filler... they could have improved a little some things(like the way to defuse the bomb) but overall it wasn't bad. |
| for a filler episode it was good |
| ''Okay, then.Let's kill him in a different way'' and Shadow-man's reaction was imo best part of the episode.Cracked me up really hard lol. |
 |
| lol fuck it , koba is a gril in my eyes even tho she is bullshitting everyone that she isnt |
| Well... Pointless, but it was fun. Next week will be about the new twenty faces? OrangeJP said: Shadow-man is my favorite character +1! |
 |
| Alright. Pretty much a pointless episode, but guess it was entertaining for a bit. |
  |
| More character interactions this time. Not much of the dialogue caught my interest, but the scenario revolving around the baby and the cat felt entirely random. I would've preferred it if they just immediately moved on to the next case, but it's okay I guess. |

SchwingBoner said: Best part for me was the ending scene. I like Kagami and hope he plays an active role in the coming episodes despite being imprisoned. I agree. Last week had so far the best episode for me mostly because of Kagami. This week we get to see something completely different and random but the best scene was certainly the last one. Nakamura is interesting as well, he deeply regrets the fact that Kagami changed into a 20 faces copycat while he is questioning his role as a police officer. Yet he said himself that there was a time he was very passionate about his work just like Kagami before the tragic death of his sister. In the end, maybe the lack of passion is what can prevent someone from becoming a 20 faces copycat but that is also why law enforcement is messed up in the story. |
| That was really cute Sad that this is only 11 episodes though :( |
| Hmm, fun episode but yeah, I agree. Felt like a filler or like a "tension-reliever" for what will come next maybe? Overall, ok episode, got some laughs out of me. |
   |
| Pointless episode. At least we got to see Shadow Man though. |
 |
| Adorable cat <3 I wonder why he hates them?? Does he have a birthmark on his butt too XDDD Dat scene after the credits T__T Now I wonder of Akechi was 20 faces??? |
| So about halfway through the series, anyone thinking of dropping this? |
| Well ... this episode was kinda light. We got more humor instead of the usual psychological mystery. The revelation about Akechi's fear of cats sure was the highlight in this episode. xD |

| Kind of needed an episode like this after last week's depressing one. |
| I liked this episode. It's good for comedy relief especially after the events occurring from the previous episodes. Long story short, too much mature themes is no good for you lol. I am, however, looking forward to when the comedy dies down and the setting changes more to a dark and twisted theme again. Hope the next arc is more interesting than the last. |
| Lol, pretty good episode |
| really pointless episode. at least it had some kinda funny moments. |
 |
| Man this episode was way more upbeat then usual, I actually enjoyed it though. It's a nice change of pace from all the murder and fucked up shit that's happened throughout the series. Some very funny moments in this episode too. |
 |
| 6 episodes in and I'm starting to think that Hashiba would have been better as Akechi's assistant than Kobayashi. |
| How can these characters act so calmly towards a man who has a bomb attached to his chest like they think that's a part of everyday life and their reactions are just peaceful to every single thing that is unusual in "our world". |
 |
| So the scene after credists gave us more story development than rest of the episode. Pretty bad for 11 episode anime. This episode + 5th gave us very little story progress, as 5th just showed what we have been thinking since the end of 4th and stretched it into 20mintues drama flashback. |
| After the crazy show we had last week, I'm guessing the director figured some of us here would need something of a respite from the regular progam. I'm amazed how Black Lizard managed to orchestrate the kidnapping and planting of the bomb on Shadow-Man so easily. I would love to see the crazy stuff she would do to express her "Love" to Akechi if she weren't in jail. The post-ending scene though..... does anyone other than me feel like there's something fishy with the Senior Cop (I'm speculating that he was the original 20-Faces). |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Uh....meh episode. I honestly thought last week's episode was decent. But this was just dull, sigh. |
 |
| Shadow man acting calm at the front door is reasonable. He already had his freakout before showing up. However everyone else acting so calm and even slamming the door on the bomb is ridiculous! Especially when Akechi shows great fear for a cat but doesnt bat an eyelash at a bomb. Completely urealistic even with suspended disbelief. Also I honestly don't think Shadow Man is a perv and maybe not even a pedo. He is strangely obsessed with little girls but he's not shown a single sign of sexualness towards them. |

| Disappointing. it was a pointless episode, while it was funny, it kinda ruined the whole dark atmosphere it had goin on |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| Never thought I'd have this much fun from a random cluster of shenanigans up. This was seriously amazingly executed. As Akechi put it, Cat, Baby, Pervert and Bomb, no to mention Terrorists, I mean What The Fuck!? But I lol'd immenselly and the episode went out fast out of that. I lol'd hard at the Metal Gear Solid sequences, everybody "oh yeah this is a good idea" even Shadow Man agreeing until he was "Wait, I'm Dead". That made it even more funny. Ultimately it seems the bomb was a lot of noise and paper (as in I assume it wasn't lethal)? Anyway what was amazing to see was Kobayashi getting flared at abandonement, I wonder if he has some personal experience or something. Anyway this was a nice break from the usual disturbing cases we have. |
