| We are fragile. We are a life form that cannot survive on its own. So don't be too rough on us. love that reiko moment...feel bad for the parasyte |
| The polices chief is an asshole. |
Z4k said: lol I didn't think about this before but that's kind of true. If the cops didn't care about sacrificing the civilians they could have bombed the building instead of going through all that massacre. Trying to make the Parasytes look like victims with that "don't bully us" scene was forced (lol ffs they don't even have emotions and kill/eat humans). It's not possible to just bomb the building. They can't use the normal building exploding to ensure the kill. They will have to nuke it. And if they want to nuke and ensure the result, the bomb will have to be quite large which will affect a large area of Tokyo. (A city with 10 million+ population) Not prioritizing the safety of civilians doesn't mean they want to kill people. Allowing parasites to escape would result more people get killed anyway, since the parasites feed on human. |
MgMaster said: Euradys said: Cliché and over the top bloodshed. I already knew what was gonna happen, but I didn't expect this to take the whole episode. We didn't learn anything from this episode either, apart from the fact that the cops don't give a damn about civilians, and they tried to make Parasytes look like victims (they pretty much inverted the roles in this, kind of dumb if you ask me) with the cringe-worthy "don't bully us" flashback. I mean, come on, you eat and despise humans, what the heck did you expect ? Just die and shut your deformed mouth. Main character was useless. 2/5. Many of us could see this coming but I don't see what's wrong with that, it was slowly building up for such an outcome. To address the your points I highlighted: 1.Not once has any parasyte mentioned that they hate humans. They saw them a food sources. We eat cows & pigs because they're a food source for us but we don't hate them. 2.What the hell did you expect Shinichi to do? He's in the most difficult position out of everyone. What he always tried to do was to save whoever he could, so how is he to react when the SWAT does the exact same thing the parasytes did. Furthermore, don't forget that it's not his call alone but Migi's as well, who doesn't want to put themselves at risk by interfering and seeing as how interfering now means helping one of two murdering sides, I can't help but agree with him. It's not so much the roles that have been inverted as is the fact that the show offer's no easy answers, which makes it all the more entertaining. It's not about the MC killing off or helping to kill all the parasytes anymore, even if it eventually amounts to that. I agree with you. Shinichi is just finding the right time to move. Interfering will make things worse. |

| That is one interesting parasyte. Even Uragami was scared! O.o I just can't believe they're dragging innocent civilians into this. Next week's episode is gonna be interesting. Four more episodes to go! |

| damn that was an intense episode |
Saryah-90 said: I facepalmed when I saw the couple having sex in a governmental building with all that noise of the shotguns...... well, I think the illogical actions became common in this show That room appeared to be soundproof. They apparently didn't hear the announcement to evacuate the building. "Ignorance is bliss", according to Uragami right after they bust open the door to that room. |
| The episode itself was intense as heck and everything that happened quite fast-paced. That said, I cannot emphasize enough about how stupid those cops are. They literally had ONE PLAN to smoke the parasites out: Walk them in single file past the truck, they didn't even have a contingency plan in case shit hit the fan and plan A doesn't work. So what happens? As with your typical anime laws: Shit hits the fan, their team gets wiped out. Yay, totally expected. They couldn't control the crowd, and when panic set in, they completely lost it. They didn't think to just detect each parasite that comes out, and then round up ALL of the parasites into the back of an armored vehicle or something with lies and then throw a half dozen grenades into said armored vehicle? Even having telepathy couldn't help those parasites to know what they were doing in that case, since they'd be lying about protecting them or something. And by the time they realized anything, they'd already be dead. Dude, see I just came up with a viable working and pretty painless way to wipe all of those parasites out, no casualties on the police's part, and no collateral damage. All in the space of writing this post. How easy was that? Seriously, how stupid could they get? |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| If I remembered correctly, that parasite is Gotou, the one that has 3 parasitesin one body. Migi and Shinichi won't defeat it easily, but first they should do something now. Uragami sure know who is the strongest parasite. This is getting so intenseshit. Just 4 more episodes to go. |
| If you try to round up all the Parasites at once in an armored vehicle, they will notice that this goddamn vehicle contains Parasites and no one else, and they'll be smart enough to realize this. And the police wouldn't want to take them all at once. That's extremely dangerous.They can fight back! So facing at most seven enemies at a time is very effective way. Besides, they wouldn't know who the Parasites are before they actually use the X-Ray machine. Uragami's ability and his attitude are quite unreliable and inefficient. And they did have a contingency plan, which is to control the civilians with an iron fist. Anyone who shows the least amount of disobedience will be shot right away. They make it clear that they are willing to kill even the civilians. That way, the Parasites know that taking civilians hostages won't work. They simply did not foresee the move which Hirokawa's group made, so they didn't have a very good countermeasure for this. |
| I'm finding it hard to come up with accurate words to even begin describe the ep but the first ones that come to mind are 'insanity' and 'massacre' which I think sum it up nicely, though. Maaan, what a bloodshed, that scar-guy really didn't give a single sh*t whether he was shooting parasites or humans... And Gotou, that guy's a friggin' TANK, what steroids is he on so that literally nothing seems to give him even a scratch? Uragami's the only one who had the brains to get the Hell away while the commando just stood there with their rifles up and followed Gotou to a bigger room only to get killed like flies. You had guns - why didn't you use them like you were instructed to?? And Shinichi just sat on his ass the entire time, doing nothing. I wonder, what is Hirokawa planning, though? |
| 死ねカス国に帰れ |
| So they even killed some humans, but it's understandable, better to kill some than keep putting everyone in risk...Gotou is insane! |
 |
| It's impressive how they manage to pull off an awesome episode without the MC, which is the only good character remaining, doing anything but sitting inside the car. undoubtedly a good episode and a nice set up for the climax. The tough looking parasyte looks charismatic although his expressions piss me off. Or rather i should point out parasites in general.. |
| Intense as always, what a bloody episode. Shinichi got no screen time this time but more characters add to the story and as always it end with a cliffhanger. 4 episodes left, not sure how they manage to set things up. |

bastek66 said: What a spoilerish next episode title  Attractive headline, wondering what they mean by that and what is going to happen. |

| I need a gif of that parasyte running by with the meat shield and the task force just lighting him up. Some of the characters and their decisions in this show just scream trainwreck, especially that detective with glasses. Might have to put this on hold and wait until I can marathon the rest. As for that episode title, my guess is that Murano gets banged and spends 22 minutes going "Are you...really Izumi-kun???" |

| This task force are from jsdf right? |

| Chapter Freaking 57 next week. I can't believe the title next time. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Good episode, though Shinichi didn't show up much. The captain was also cool. He did the right thing shooting that guy who attempted to stand up. This is not a freaking narcotic raid, people should be thankful they're still trying to save as many humans in the building as possible. |

| mmm dat preview do my nigga get laid? |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| This climax is as stupid as that finale in LA Noire where after so much time put into mystery-solving antics and interrogations that reflect the human condition, you end up barbecuing gangsters with a flamethrower for the final showdown. Parasytes that absorb bullets like freaking Dorian from The Mask whilst acting like a James Bond villain? What part of the parasyte evolution timeline is that? |
| I Write About Anime (and other stuff) At Standing On My Neck |
| Oh boy Gotou is strong. Shinichi'll probably have to fight. And then there's the mayor who actually seems nice. But probably not |

Whether they're all in one place or not doesn't matter much, I just said so for convenience sake. As for your "countermeasure" if that was the plan and they had so little regard for human lives, why not just seal off all the humans and parasites in the building and bomb the place and make it look like a gas leak? Considering they don't give two fucks about shooting the humans anyway, at least in your opinion, then why not just accept the people in the building as collateral and be done with it? Also, you think their plan to file people out and shoot each parasite as they go by wouldn't be heard or noticed by the parasites waiting to come out of the building? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. |
HESTIA APPROVES |
| Finally a parasite fightback after so many of their own got massacred :) Gotou is god, actually if he wanted he could have saved every single one of his kind inside that building by charging out and killing every guy with a weapon :D Shinichi's presence would only dull the intensity of this episode so I was glad he didn't appear :) From what Gotou said, Hirokawa should be able to take all his opponents out in that room if the thing about him being able to escape the building is true. |

| Such an intense, awesome episode.....This show deserves its high rank....Now I really want to play Resident Evil 4 or Fallout once more |

Also, you think their plan to file people out and shoot each parasite as they go by wouldn't be heard or noticed by the parasites waiting to come out of the building? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You'll need a very powerful bomb to ensure that everyone in the building is killed. You are guaranteed to have witnesses see or hear such a powerful explosive, and there's no way they'll mistake it for a gas leak. Why not just evacuate every potential witness before bombing the building? Obviously too suspicious and the timing would be too convenient. It would cause an international scandal. Why not just eliminate every witness after the fact? Too many lives lost. Of course they'll try to minimize the human casualties. Their attitude of being willing to kill civilians is an act, but a necessary evil to get things done in the most cost-effective way. If a few civilians are killed so that the rest obey unconditionally, the ensuing chaos is minimized and thus lives are saved. The gunshots are highly audible. I admit, this is the stupidest part of their plan. They played it off as "warning shots", so the citizens got a bit intimidated, which as advantageous for them. But the Parasites will not be fooled. They have telepathy, and thus would sense that they just lost one signal, meaning a fellow Parasite just died after the gunshot. I guess the military expected the Parasites to find out soon enough.I don't exactly know what they expected the Parasites to do, but they did not expect them to just boldly walk back into the building, where one or two military squads were deployed, after sacrificing a few of their own kind for distraction. |
| For those saying that the police are too cruel, this is the only rational method left to kill off or at least scare the parasytes while keeping civilian casualties to a minimum. Justice isn't being goody-goody, it's about taking effective and efficient action. In this case, this is the most efficient and effective course of action. The other is nuking the place, which isn't really that great an idea considering the negatives that come with it.

Gotou has 5 parasytes in his body and was stated to be an experiment... of course he's not gonna be the same as other parasytes. |

| Badass episode. I like the mentality the police have in that situation. Pretty brutal. Look forward to next week! |
| Oh my god that was intense. I fear the show's ending. Welp, time to read the manga soon. |
| Hirokawa probably shines in his intelligence since Gotou seem to be the bruteforce. Gonna be interesting how Shinichi plays into this. |
| so did gotou like assign one or two parasites in his body for guard duty of vital organs? like cover them in hard shell or something. otherwise i cannot see how he survived that shower of bullets. He will be hard as hell to kill. |

| Superb episode. I bet fifty bucks that there will be a huge brawl in the end between that shotgun parasyte and shinichi in the end. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| sex and spirit ok |
| What a bloodbath. And Uragami's actually useful. "Well, I'll just do what I want." See, even Uragami saw the demon within! Seems like the two strongest parasites are in for a fight. And there's probably going to be some sex next time. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| The episode was amazing. |
