I know what he whispered to his ear, it's posted somewhere.

"You were the forbidden minimum holder, I removed your brain when you wore in Facultas that's why you didn't manifest your ability and that's why you're retarded and got yourself killed".

At least at the end he got to know guys...

I hate villains whose entire reasoning is based on them being obsessed with the main character and then doing bad things in order to be their equal. It's just such a shitty rationale that always feels more like a copout than anything else.

OMG ARTTTTTTT ;_;

Maybe Moral was trying to help Art unlock his Minimum. Who knows, maybe Art has the power of immorality/to revive? :p

I laugh at all the people who gave up on this anime after the gay episode thing. It was good from the start & it still is.

I just hope Art survived that.

That was horrible, for real.

I wonder what Moral told Art, but I'm pretty sure it HAS to do with Nice leaving the Academy halfway. They wouldn't bring that up in this episode for no reason. Perhaps Nice's Minimum is actually artificial? He had amazing scores in his exams for sure (Moral only knew about him later), but that does not mean his Minimum was actualized. Perhaps he had the top grades, but never actualized his Minimum like Art and was given it by Moral. After discovering that his Minimum is artificial, he decided to leave the Academy- probably because he could not face Art (who tried his best despite not having one).

Moral pitied Nice for being at the top but didn't actualized a Minimum at first. Nice was all alone and also felt despair that he could not be like his friends. Moral granted his wish by giving him the Sonic Minimum and now is trying to eliminate his solitude as well.

For me, this explains why Nice thinks that the hulk guy (the failed green non-innate Minimum holder) a few episodes back actually enjoyed himself. This is due to Nice having a non-innate Minimum as well and could understand his desire to want one + show off. That is why he and Moral thinks alike in some ways as his desire to have a Minimum was granted by him. It should also probably be why he narrowed the suspects down to Moral this episode. He knew about what he did before, but not after he left the research facility. Therefore, he was not absolutely sure that it is Moral.

By the by, was Art's brother's death ever explained in detail? Perhaps Moral made it look like an accident and extracted his brain without the others knowing. The Sonic Minimum might just be Art's brother's.

I posted this somewhere else too >.>, but I'm not entirely certain given that I did not watch all the previous episodes again to make sure. If there are flaws, please point it out!! ^.^

Quite interesting theory

I would like to post my own speculations with my own thoughts and from your points as well:

##Reason Nice left Facultas ?
- Perhaps what you yourself said can be the cause
- Maybe it had something to do with Art's brother's death ?
- Experiments on kids/holders or killing forbidden minimum holder to preserve his brain (Art's brother ?)

##Nice's Minimum
- I highly doubt his minimum is artificial from the way the story has developed till now. From the get go he is shown very smart and superior than others from the getgo. Even the manga story which is kind of before anime storyline shows him as the top minimum holder
- If he knew about Moral beforehand and was given a minimum by him like you said, Moral would be the first person he would know of as soon as the first non-minimum case showed up. But he didnt knew about Moral till this episode.
- He is classified maybe because of his minimum ? Just think about it, no matter how you think of it, Super Sonic doesnt seems that much Over Powered to deem him classified or superior to others. But if you remember Darker Than Black then Hei's actual power wasnt electricity manipulation but rather molecule manipulation and electricity was its by product. Think about Cyborg 007's power too, it was same super sonic but do you remember the time his power lost control ? It stopped time. Thinking like that, I think Nice's minimum shown till now is not his true power but just a portion of it and when fully used, he can perhaps manipulate time ?


##Moral
- Nothing much, reminds me exactly of Creed from Black Cat

##Art
- Wierd how the preview of next episode was so cheerfull, perhaps Art's minimum gets awakened and is related to healing or rebirth or something ?
- Moral disguises as Art but should be spotted by Nice at first sight IMO
- Moral forcefully gives Art that forbidden minimum and says that during this episode's end that he will do so or maybe tells him it was his brother's minimum ?

##Forbidden Minimum
- Someone finds it strange how they refer to the minimum as a "specimen". Maybe its a arifact or duplicate or not the real forbidden minimum and was created from Nice. Thus Nice holding the actual forb. minimum and to replicate his minimum they used Art's brother and Nice left Facultus due to that ? Art's brother's minimum can also be related to copying other's minimum thus making him best candidate to be sacrificed.

And now I know why the police didn't know that the doctor is dead in the last episode.

I was expecting Art to die but not this soon. And I'm sadder that Nice wasn't able to say sorry to him. He's not yet (officially) dead unless there's a funeral for him, right? /wishful thinking

Also, if Moral was trying to help Art to "activate" his minimum he wouldn't shoot his brain since it's important for using the minimum, right?
