Damn, a lot of crazy shit happened in this episode, the craziest... the fact that an actual fad began where people pulled out each others hair as a greeting.

Murano was saved but she was the only one lmao

at least their relationship seems to have improved quite a bit

Shinichi was BAMF, saving Murano and throwing that rock. that's a weird way to die

Yuko's fall though

Definitely thought Tachikawa was going to die but I guess not. Seems as though her "weapon" sort of worked ... by forcing Shimada to not be able to shift back and sort of go crazy. Lots of bloodshed this episode. Super rock throw was super effective! The "pull out hair" thing is interesting, hopefully the parasites will have a harder time eating innocent humans now. As for the preview, Kana comes back and ... is that shirtless Shinichi I see?! :P

Shinichi throwing the rock was badass.
Surprised the government found a way to distinguish parasites from humans, it should work the same for Shinichi aswell right, since his parasite merged with his entire body, not just the right hand anymore.

Also I love how Shinichi said a "fad" began in which people greet each other by pulling a string of hair :D

The people are surprisingly dense, how could the students not notice that monster and how could Murano be statisfied with "I jumped that far because of adrenaline"? At least Shinichi and Murano seem to be on good terms again.

Fuck, that transformation was terrifying, though I still think Yuko is stupid as hell for confronting Hide fully knowing he was a parasite.

What a brutal massacre. Seeing Hide cut through all those people like butter was unsettling.

I love the cinematography in this episode; so spine-chilling.





That rock throw was so badass; had some serious impact to it.

So if a human doesn't want their hair being touched, it's safe to say they're a parasite.

The hair-pulling fad gave me a chuckle.

Awesome episode; possibly the best one so far. The parasites are slowly being revealed to the world.

9.5/10

What is up with the terrible looking CGI characters in the background? They look annoying.

I do not believe anyone is stupid enough to believe the "You jumped from a roof and survived" story. Otherwise, decent episode.

Thankfully Hideo underestimated Yuko.

Lol I think that countermeasure would require a sacrifice. Like if you pull a parasite's hair than that person who pulled the hair will be killed right after that.

I think Murano know something wrong about it but keep quite about it, because she understand that's likely not what Shinichi will tell.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

Shinichi took too long to take action and more people died. It also shows how less human he is that he only really cared about Murano and not really the other students imo. It was a good throw in the end to kill shimada. And The glasses girl did a good job of throwing that at shimada. Interesting episode but not as good as I expected

I didn't expect Yuuko to be able to hurt Hideo, whatever that white liquid was it worked. Clever girl. Besides from that this meeting must have been so shocking for her and that jump wow, I don't want to know how badly she got injured.

Such a masacre. I also lost count how many people died. At least there was no censorship. God when Shinichi turned over that female head I thought it was Satomi.

At least he was able so save her, with these totally crazy jumps. I'm still amazed Satomi didn't asked more about how he was able to do it. At least their relationship went back up which is nice.

The scene with the rock was just crazy, holy shit. That thing flew through Hideo like it was nothing. It's definitely true the government can't go public with the parasites. I'm amazed about the method they picked. So from now on everyone tears out a hair as greeting. That's a first for me lol.

The art was slightly janky at times but overall, a nice episode nonetheless. Nice to see Murano and Izumi patch things up between them temporarily again, he did save her like a superhero by showing up, carrying her and jumping off a building to make sure she was safe. Good thing Yuko was safe too and Hideo got executed bad by Izumi near the end. Did want a bit more bloodshed in the episode though. I do like the idea of pulling out hair follicles to reveal if they're humans or parasites so should be interesting to see how well that turns out to be in the upcoming episodes.

Overall rate this episode a 5/5

There is nothing that I would change about this episode. I really liked the moment where we saw Izumi really break down and showed some weakness. I also really enjoyed the gore and the suspense in some moments.

Nice throw... Yo nerdy doc. You really think parasite would just take it easy when they see someone knowing their true form right in front of them. Well, I don't think so.

I liked it that Shinichi ran to save Murano. Seeing Murano wrap her arms around him at first sight was nice

Shinichi carrying Murano in his arms <3

Mugi and Shinichi combine powers to throw a rock from 300 metres away into Shimadas heart. Epic snipe

Lmao when the government guy said pull out a strand of hair before you leave the almost bald guy was like fuck me

About this fad... so there's a way to distinguish between a parasite and a human but no way to defend themselves if encounter one?

What exactly can they do when they could kill you along with the people in your general vicinity in less than a second?

It would've been better to just reveal their existence or keep quiet than this half ass way of doing it.

All of this happened because of one girl who approached him telling him to stop killing people because she doesn't want him to kill anybody đź’€

I’m getting sick of these illogical characters..

Dude jumped out from the 4th story window without any injuries and Murano still hasn’t realized he’s superhuman. And Izumi still refuses to explain to anybody why he’s changed.

I honestly have to hand it to Yuko. I'd been dumping on the secondary girl characters for having zero survival instincts, but jumping out of that window would take an insane amount of courage, even knowing what the alternative is. It felt so dumb that she spent all that time doing mental gymnastics in order to not tell her brother because "what if it's not true?" And then spent no time thinking about the possibilities that could happen if she confronted Hideo. Like, if you're willing to bet your life that he's not a monster then why even confront him lol, just move on as though he's not a monster. Bit of a writing issue there, but chalk it up to being a dumb kid. And it caused a chain of events that led to what feels like some progress so that's cool.

In a similar vein, I love that the government spent no time thinking about what would happen if you pull someone's hair and they are a parasite. Or maybe they did and just didn't care, which sounds about par for the course. Testing it out on themselves is ballsy, though. Love the scientist just nerding out about his new discoveries.

Also, I love throwing in at the last few seconds "btw the government can make memes and influence all our behavior, I wonder what real life memes came from them, hmm, goodnight everybody!"
