I don't think it's Anna/Nina doing all those killings. My take is that, someone that looks alike or someone that wants to impersonate her is doing it.
I'm basing this on what was shown about her in the previous episodes, especially her character. If she was doing all of this, then, she'd have no problem killing Johan few episodes ago, so, that is why I'm dismissing the possibility of she, being the killer.

OK, now I'm sure that this person can't be Nina. She seems way too emotionless.

I'm not sure how to react to this Detective Suk, he's way too indecisive for me to like him.

I guess you could say, he kinda "Sucks".

From what I can deduce, I suspect we're beginning to see the dark side of Nina. Perhaps Nina was the one who sent Johan those poisoned candy in an attempt to terminate Johan when they were children back in the hospital.

The only thing that can kill a monster is a even bigger monster. Perhaps Nina is a bigger one.

I also don't think that is Nina, far too calm and controlled, and don't get me started about the perfect marksmanship, right between the head. I'm still concerned about who beat up the detective to death, the more i think about it the more i doubt it's Grimmer, after that torture and getting his nails clipped off could he even make a fist, let alone beat 2 men who are in better condition than he is? i say no.

either something happened to Nina that changed her personality or that's a very convincing Johan cross-dresser. must have been annoying shaving his legs. but i don't think he was the one at the bar because the voice was too different from his. and we haven't seen Nina after the hospital so it could be possible she had memory loss of some sort after the fire

i actually really want Nina to be the "monster", not Johan. would be a nice twist

If you're going to kill someone, poisoned candy seems like a pretty dumb and inaccurate way to go about it. There's no guarantee he would even eat them, or who he would offer them to. He could have given them to a bunch of kids.

I don’t believe this is the real Anna/Nina after all that is the method used by Johan when he killed the hospital staff and they are twins so he is crossdressing... maybe next chapter can confirm if what I think is true or false and if it is false then Anna/Nina also was part of the same kind of experiment as Johan or some kind of experiment…?

What happened to Nina... completely devoid of emotion, no memories too apparently. Was she the one that killed Petrov?

Didn't really like detective Succ. I want to see more Grimmer or Johan.

I didn't really understand the part where Inspector Zeman is investigating their office for former Czechoslovakian secret police members. Weren't his men (2 guys) also former Czechoslovakian secret police members?

Yooooo right? I'm confused about that too. I understand Zeman was investigating their office and got paid to conceal the facts, but then why was he working with them and saying "our organization" wants the tape? Was he paid to join their group, or did he end up working for them somehow?

Well played Johan. WELL PLAYED.



In case people think that is still Nina, Nina couldn't do such a thing. She never knew how to kill people with candies. Only Johan did that before. Also, if it is not Johan, it must be Johan's mom(Well, it is still unlikely). That's the only possible explanation.

Candy killing is Johan's MO ONLY. Pretty useful during Halloween. Trick or treat anyone?

If Nina wanted to get the evidence, she wouldn't have killed the maid and also the grandpa. Nina never killed anyone before, so her first kill being the old guy don't make sense. Also, only Johan has the capability to kill people easily and be comfortable with children when he came out.(Grimmer didn't see him on the way out, cause Johan hid from him.)

Johan's agenda is to ensure Grimmer gets the key and evidence, and use it to get to his roots. That's why he left Grimmer alive, for now. And Johan cosplaying as his sister is the best way for him to ensure no one suspects Johan of all people.

Or it could be a brainwashed Nina, which is quite underwhelming to say the least. I hope it is Johan.

Tenma makes a cameo, which is just a way to remind us that he is still there.

Y'all should just read Pluto.

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.

I got the impression that there's triplets instead of twins, therefor the reference to three frogs. There's so many twists though, I couldn't predict what will happen next let alone the ending. Love it.

The fact that Anna/Nina is now act exactly like her brother is incredibly suspicious. Her personality swing was way too quick for this to be any kind of natural progression, unless she also has multiple personalities like Johan. Tbh I'm actually starting to think this could go in an even more bizarre direction, though.

Edit: called it on the whole "bizarre direction" thing xD

Curious to see how Suk will snap once he realizes that the only person he assumed he could trust actually killed 3 detectives, and Suk himself could've very easily died - the same goes for any other police officer, or any person who happened to be offered that candy. It seems very unlike Anna and more like Johan to kill aimlessly like this, considering that her target(s) may not even have eaten the candy to begin with. Did she finally snap after the hypnosis interrogation session?

It kind of baffles me how easily characters die, with not much consequence either; death really is cheap in this show. Not to mention that somehow everyone seems to gather in one place at the same time while having no communication with each other. It's all much too convenient.

How ironic for Suk and Nina(?).

Well, if this is Nina, she really is adopting Johan's MO. Though, I don't think she would call herself again Anna. Also Dieter is gone...

Hold up, Nina (?) gave them poisoned candy. That's the same way everyone died in the hospital way back at the beginning of the series.

There's NO WAY that's a coincidence. Every detail matters in this show.

Well, that police station is clearly corrupt and there are still a lot of people with affiliations for the old government in it now operating illegally and so forth, so of course they're all assholes.

Also, this ED is amazing. I generally hate anime music. I skip through all of it, and every now and then there is an exception. I like this one.

Welcome to the ex-soviet part of the world. There are not many things harder to root out than a totalitarian regime. It takes generations.
Regarding music, it is notably well suited, even if this ED seemed otherwise at first.

Nina probably got eaten by Johan, lol


Or the other way around. Maybe Nina is actually the bigger monster. You know, the only one who could eliminate Johan.



Oh my goodness. "Maybe Nina is the bigger monster," and someone else said above that maybe Nina was the ones who gave candy to the hospital folks when she and Johan were in the hospital. My mind is blown. I hope it's not true, but it's so devious a plot twist that it just might be.

I didn't recognize Nina at all during this episode. I genuinely thought that the "Three Frogs" might have meant that there was a third sibling who looked identical to Nina, haha. Although, it is very characteristic of Nina to just hang out at bars in order to get close to certain people.

I want to know so badly what is going through Nina's head -- if she was always just as psychopathic as Johan, if it's another personality she has that she constantly battles, if she sustained brain damage that unleashed it, if this personality was triggered by that childhood storybook and the realization that she doesn't really have an identity. There are so many possibilities at this point!

Golly, Nina attracts attention wherever she goes (and whether she likes it or not). I like it when Dr. Tenma appears whenever, it's like, things have happened and I'm sure he was doing stuff when he wasn't off camera, y'know?
