What is Murano's purpose? Why isn't she dead yet?

I didn't want that detective to die but it's kinda his fault for joking about tossing that baby in that cliff. If he just talked with Tamura long enough the police might have gotten there in time but then again Tamura is not really the villain here.. I think.

The more I watch this the more I seem to have more in common with the parasites than the humans. More like Reiko I suppose. Trying to adapt to a species you don't quite understand.

lol at Tamura running around laughing with only half of a head.
That poor woman at the end. She picked the wrong day to go on a walk with her baby in the park while wearing white .

Also find it funny when Kuramori san wrote -Detective sherlock holmes-
but he surely did a good job ;-; RIP
I'm expecting Murano to hear/see Shinichi talking with Reiko or something..
I think it's the time they need to tell her what's going on

LOL AT THE HALF LAUGHING REIKO HEAD XDDD

Aw, the emotion Migi didn't recognize from Reiko was probably hurt when the inspector said that's not her baby just bc it's human D:
I'm glad she had mother's instinct to save her baby though x3

That laugh and those faces .. freaky.

Tamura is getting more and more emotions. She's getting more interesting.

Yup, second all that.

Damn, this show is just outstanding. The detective's death was just so good (I mean, well made).
And so, it really seems like Tamura has gotten at least a tiny bit more human, caring for that baby and all... She's still an enemie to me though. Wonder whats gonna happen next.
Also, Tamura is really inteligent, damn. Dividing herself and taking out 3 parasytes by herself was cool.

Also, Murano is at the park as well. Really looking forward to the next episode.

So sad ;-; I was hoping the PI would live. I knew in m heart he wouldn't kill that baby. But Reiko did show us she may now have feelings of caring for the baby.

In his final moments the poor detective didn't reveal Izumi's identity.

The fight with Tamura was kinda fun. The poor detective never even had a chance. Why is it that no one ever calls the paramedics? (Kana was another example.) He would probably have died anyways but at least it would be more believable.

It's funny that in a thread for one of the previous episodes someone said that Murano is "better" than Kana because at least she has a life. Murano's life is, as far as we're shown, is literally all about Shinichi. That's not necessarily unbelievable, but it makes her a boring satellite character. So I disagree, she's not a better character than Kana at all. And her two friends aren't much better, although at least the glasses girl has done a few other things on camera besides going on about Shinichi, even if those things weren't all that smart.

This episode is almost all about Reiko. I admit I didn't fully understand her explanation of her strategy for that battle. So the animosity of the dying female parasyte towards the last survivor of the trio had when he turned on her was strong enough to camouflage Reiko's signal? Also, what happened to Reiko's logical mind? Did it just get weaker when she split part of herself?

Murano is basically playing the mother role. Constantly worrying and thinking about Shiniji. She might have helped Reiko a bit with the role a mother plays in this episode.

Great episode! That was an intense fight with a lot of strategic thinking. One of the smartest fight I have ever seen in anime.

Lol @ all those that complain about detective. Guy clearly lost his mind, was going to do something crazy. It was pretty self evident in previous EP.

Lol @ Murano hating. She is pretty slow and not very smart, but Reiko looks much different than before. And it was never stated that Reiko was teaching Murano class. People just want to nitpick to hate this girl.


Reiko best girl/monster/thing

Far out Murano just needs to stay away, you would think that she would get the message by now. The dead weight of the series for sure.

Interesting fight between the Parasites, Reiko's plan was pretty clever. Sending part of herself into the other parasites to control them so that they'll kill each other is smart :P Also her running away and laughing was super creepy O_O Lots of development for Reiko, first her looking at Shinichi's pictures and wondering what it's like to be a "mother" then saving her child like that ... and that "weird emotion" that Migi was mentioning too. Dang, she must be growing some protective instincts, and I guess she needs Shinichi's help with her baby next episode to keep him safe from the police I guess? Detective died as was hinted at in the episode title :P Either way, Murano please ... I hope you contribute to something and aren't just there to be killed because you've been a useless character so far >_<

Well, it's obvious Sherlock has already lost his sanity, but threatening someone's life is not something you can just brush off as "just kidding." What Reiko did was right, even according to human laws. The eye-for-an-eye Sherlock tried to do is not legal though.

It's probably the human body having an effect on the parasyte going on with Reiko. I mean hormones like estrogen and whatever else is in a human body causing the mother instinct (even the stuff that's found in both genders).

Here's hoping that splitting fragment of parasite to the enemy's body can be a way to defeat Gotou.

Shinichi should be more cautious to put password into his computer.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

Tamura is slowly evolving more and more and having emotions. So interesting how the parasites thought emotions meant weakness but as they develop they are having them.

Ryouko is such a strategist. Even 3 parasites had no chance because she used all their weaknesses. That laugh when she ran away with only half a head was crazy but very funny. Also the scene afterwards where she opened her head hahaha.

I'm surprised didn't recognized her at all. I guess she was looking at all those photos because she wants to understand what it means to be a mother?

I knew the detective would never kill the baby. But Ryoukos reaction showed that she evolved even more. Even Migi never felt something like this before.

The question now is, what does Ryouko want from Shinichi?

I'm glad they bought Tamiya Ryouko back, this anime was getting a lil boring just following Shinichi all the time.

Also was there really a point to Kana? They threw her away pretty quickly.

This episode was funny as well as emotional.

2. Introduction of motherly love between parasyte and human baby.

Reiko Tamura slowly awakening a bit to human emotions after researching so much about them and having to protect the baby she delivered. I like the slow burn development she's undergone. Nice face off too with Izumi at the end for the cliffhanger.
