Oh boy, another bizarre episode of monsters and experimentation. The one from this episode reminds me from one of the previous episodes.

I thought he was kinda cool, but he turned out to be a complete dick. Can't believe he left Banba behind.

I know right. What an asshole. He seemed like a cool guy at first.

In any case, good episode. They explained the origin of these monsters and everything makes sense now. Dat cliffhanger at the end though O_o

I really like how everything for tied together in this episode and finding out about the origins of the Kagewani and it's evolution as very interesting

The second I saw that stuff with Kimura I knew that things were gonna go to shit.......He's a dick for what he did to Hanna but I'm hoping that Banba lives somehow so that he can beat that guy's ass and end all these monsters

Wow the episode was really good!

And for Kimura, when I first saw him, I thought he's a narcissic guy or what lol. No wonder that he left Banba.

With an 8 minute episode, I don't see how this is all going to be resolved next week.

Plus, I knew Kimura would turn out to be an asshole but I didn't realize he'd be this much of dick. I don't see Banba dying but still, dick move.

Not a very elegant explanation about the Kagewani (I mean, according to them shadows do have cells?), but that could have been a lot worse. Hoping everything will be wrapped up well next week. Somehow. It would be nice to get some information about that one-handed woman that shot Kagewani, but that part may remain unexplained due to the short running time.

So all they monsters are mutations of the original one :O

Banba may also have a power since he was affected.

Its getting so tense now but its sad the next episode is the last. This show has such a good concept and theme with everything tying together.
Banba is so not dead but I wonder if he has 'power'/'immunity' against the Kagewani. Actually I am almost certain about this as he was like, 'Don't worry about me' to Kimura and Kimura was saying, 'As long as you're alive, you can start over as many times as you need to.'
Am I interpreting this wrong or Kimura saying that Banba has regenerative powers or something?
I wish that this was not a tv short but having 20 mins long episodes. Maybe the pace and character development would be better. Horror does not work as well when rushed but I still think Kagewani is great.

The explanation was interesting. Since it's not sci-fi, I don't think it has to entirely make sense to the real world if it makes sense there. Pieced of the original Kagewani mutated a lot of organisms huh. It's obvious you shouldn't toy with such creatures, even if you think you've got everything under control. Fking Kimura.

I think what Kimura meant was as long as HE (Kimura) is alive, he can start over. Meaning, start over with the Kagewani biological weapon project. He doesn't care if Banba dies, Banba is no use to Kimura.

I'm guessing that Banba wasn't attacked thanks to that scar and the shadows cell.... but this episode was really interesting, glad to know they explained all that and everything was tied (making more sense), and I wasn't expecting all that. Oh boy, excited to see the last episode~

bet my savings banba also has the kagewani cells, and just slammed the tortoise clone agains the door to slap the fuck out off kimura.
great episode linking everything together with a very plausible background for the kagewani origins as well as the other monsters without asspulls

I also think that Banba has the kagewani cells, most likely the original ones when he got that infection. It even reacts to the monsters during certain episodes when he confronts them.

My guess right now is that Banba would be able to control those monsters and use them to find Kimura.
I'll be shocked (and amused) if he dies anyway.

You're right, shadows dont have cells. Shadows also don't eat people, or appear by themselves. What I'm trying to say is, applying science to a supernatural show is pretty stupid. Otherwise I agree with you! I hope they can somehow wrap this up in an 8 minute episode...

i thought that kimura was leading banba down the lab to use him as a research sample as well tbh. never thought it was go like this. i think banba is still alive and that his scar aided him but guess i will find out in a couple of minutes.

True, though making him look like a coward shitting his pants at the sight of danger was a bit of an eye roll. He seemed like a douchebag that could at least control his emotions in the face of danger.

The explanation of the origin reminds me of another anime or movie, where a creature was created in the same way. Can't remember the name. And Kimura was an asshole from the start, it was pretty obvious that he's up to no good.

Edit: the anime was Ghost Hunt. In one episode spirits devour other spirits and form a greater, more dangerous spirit this way. And the MC explains the creation of the spirit in the same way iirc.
