| This episode made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside especially when the little girl smiled. :) Nice how they showed us what Tenma has been doing for the past 5 months. That was sad how the girl's mother was killed. :( Looks like Tenma has become a full blown badass now. Can't wait to see where this anime goes next. 8/10 wouldn't call it a masterpiece like everyone else has been saying but it was pretty good. |
| So touching... i loved this episode. Especially that moment when little girl began to laugh. |
| Interesting development of Tenma. Glad things turned better for the girl even though I can believe how is the feeling to live with your mother's killer! |

| Nice episode though it doesn't add much to the plot. |

| Nice, touching episode. 5/5 |

| I've rewatched this episode 4 times now. It's such an awesome little side story. I always use this one as an example when people say Monster had too many sub-plots. They aren't filler at all in my opinion. Naoki Urasawa wanted to explore human nature as much as possible, and he did it beautifully with these sub-plots. They're also never too long, and always relate back to the main plot in some way. Just my thoughts ^_^ |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| This was an ok episode. It was nice to see that girl laughing at the end. |
 |
| HAHA! Tenma was doing wrist curls :P Also seems like the soldier remembered that Tenma was the reason that the little girl started smiling again and that's why he withheld the information as to where he went. |
| aww that was really cute |
| what a touching episode. i have a feeling even after all this training, Tenma isn't going to be able to shoot an actual person. it's just part of his nature, or at least he will hesitate when he does |

| He learned how to shoot a gun. I'm glad to see that the girl forgave him for killing her mother, I wonder if she will ever speak again. |
 |
| It was a pretty good Ep I love it it was really emotional and touching and about Tenma I doubt it he can shot people tho he looks like a badass now |
| great episode, really enjoyed it. |
 |
| i hope he wont hesitate to pull the trigger |
 |
| That was really sweet. Why did she have to have to same face as the bitch though. |
| I don't think that mercenary has ever heard of self-defensive gun ownership. Since when do you have to be prepared to kill someone? Dr. Tennma didn't go to any ordinary firearm self-defense class. He went to a hitman class. |

| Dubbed anime is the best because you can wank without reading ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| This episode was refreshing, and heartwarming. Also Tenma's resolve was great. I mean even for an ordinary human the decision to learn how to use a gun, how to kill basically would be a hard a decicison, but for a doctor, who swore to save lifes? Great contradiction. |
 |
| Awwww I'm not crying! It's just raining! |

| I was happy when tbe girl finally learned how to smile just because of Tenma. Our main character also learned how to use a gun. I love this show. |

I love this show. Thank you so much for replying. It is a good anime after all, I could not help myself from thinking about what will happen next. :) |
| Really liked this episode despite being slower compared to the previous eps. That poor girl though, I'm glad she smiled in the end T_T |
| Well, this was mainly a filler episode no doubt. No Johan Liebert. However, we see Tenma-san transform to a badass with a gun. Good messages there about handling a gun. Nothing more. Let's hope the next episode will be better. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| the chopsticks arc had to be the most lighthearted moment in this show so far. a nice change of air and pace this episode. the little girl was adorable. also, no in ears? rip hearing i wonder how dr tenma will use a gun, if at all in the future. |
| Very touching and I'm glad that we got an episode dedicated to Tenmas training. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Good episode. Smooth pace. Tenma looks so badass. |
| Well, the soldier, I assume, made it clear for the detective that Tenma hadn't used a gun before. I bet that will be soon forgotten. Anyway, this episode kinda felt like a filler but at the same time didn't. Either way, I liked it. I'm worried about the girl's future, however: she might be taken away from the soldier. |
 |
| this was a really touching episode. really enjoyed seeing tenma doing all that training too |

| This was very quaint. The tension's dropped dramatically, but it was a lovely, heartwarming diversion. |

| What a wholesome and touching episode! I wonder if we'll have another one down the line, I guessing prolly not, lol. |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| Well, even this show had a heartwarming episode. No doubt that girl can use chopsticks fluently, she looks like chinese or japanese anyway. I thought that Lunge will shoot that soldier at the back at the end, seems Lunge is not the sly type. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Man, this show is absolutely incredible. I feel everything right in my heart. It's very rare for me to feel a personal level of attachment this strong to a story after only 9 episodes. Tenma is the type of man I wish to become. I'm only a college student now, but someday I hope to have the kindness, courage, and selflessness in me that this man does. I hope he never loses his sense of morality and justice. If he goes down the wrong path, it's gonna hurt a lot watching that.... |
| Alrighty, so Dr. Tenma getting a gun wasn't just some whimsical decision. Five months ago, he got some training from Hugo Bernhardt. A former French soldier and marksman. So the kid Hugo adopted from Myanmar is the daughter of a woman he killed. Sheesh, that's some heavy stuff. He said she never smiled and thought she would hate him for the rest of his (or her) life, but the ending of the questioning was heartwarming. Turns out she can smile and laugh and at the very least sees him as a parental figure. Meanwhile, Dr. Tenma is still crusin'. Hmm, I'm tempted to binge-watch this series, since I've been putting it off for so long |
| Wouldn't it be better for him to collaborate with Lunge lol |
| This story always brings tear to my eyes, now that Tenma has learnt how to shoot now I wonder who he'll will be his first target - Re-watching Monster |

| the story build itself slow but well. tenma determination is on the bar now. glad that girl finally opened up. |
| What a beautiful episode, every minute of it actually felt like it wasn't wasted on anything unimportant . Great to see Tenma managing to give back his appreciation for help with more than money . The girls and her caretaker happiness at the end is what made this episode so good. |
| I'm not crying, wonderful episode |
| I keep moving forward |
| Better than any Naruto training arc by far. |
