Monster is a truly remarkable piece of art, and this episode just reasserted my belief. The way it transitioned from character to character, showing us their POVs and how they react to Tenma's arrest was pretty cool. The best part was Lunge acknowledging Johan's existence.

I feel like if this episode were to be reproduced as a book chapter, it would flow almost perfectly through each page.

Nice way of catching up with characters from early in the series. Gave me a feeling that we came a long way truly.
Still refuse to believe Grimmer is out of the picture. How will Tenma get away? Can't wait.

I found this episode heartwarming. It was beautiful to see all these people come together to help Tenma. I'm a good deal confused by the Bonaparta/Helenka things though.

So, Eva is still an alcoholic and is still fooling around with men… I though at least she was going to leave those habits after her near-death experience. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really loved that most of the people who came in contact with Tenma was shown in this episode, how did they react to the news about him, and many of them wanted to help, it was heartwarming really. This has to truly be the clearest convergence point yet... we saw all of the entire series' cast. And finally Lunge saw the light at the end of the tunnel...

I think the only window of opportunity of escaping for Tenma is the extradition if is in a plane like Commando - 1985 or train Narrow Margin - 1990 I can’t wait to see how he tries to escape or if he is going to solve all of this in jail.

Awww, everyone are eager to help Tenma
Then there's this one person who ruined everyone's party
Well he's right though

Looks like Lunge figured out something?
So, the mother name is Anna?
I don't know, I know nothing :(

Getting real tired of Eva always using Tenma as a scapegoat for her own bad personality and life decisions. Get over it, woman, it was 10 years ago! I don't think even she knows what she wants from him anymore. Is she planning on testifying for him and then lording it over his head? Or not testifying and gloating that she can save him but won't? I thought she was going to evolve as a character after Roberto shot her, but apparently not; she's as annoying and pointlessly vindictive as ever.

It's nice to see people chipping in to help Tenma. I still think Lunge doesn't like Tenma, even if he may now believe he's innocent, and is probably going to use him to track down Johan or lure him out.

Well, this might be a sign of an END...

Dr. Becker seems to not care anymore about Tenma.

Seems Lunge didn't care about his pride anymore, he just cares about the truth now. Congrats , Lunge you've matured. lol.

He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

This has to be one of the best episodes so far. I loved to see all the various characters showing their support for Tenma. And finally Lunge is starting to put together things. I just hope Johan doesn't mess with him anytime soon. I believe Lunge gave Tenma a tip at the end - show no emotion and the police won't be able to break him.

I am sure if Tenma were to babble about Johan again they'd just think he's crazy/double personality. Best to keep quiet and let Lunge handle it. Next few episodes are gonna be quite interesting...

P.S. Lunge monologuing about the letter behind the painting was also quite exciting.

My theory of Franz as the real “monster” is going strong with that letter. He maybe the real one and turn Johan as another monster as well by abusing him and maybe instilling to him the picture book, hence Johan’s reaction to it when he saw it in the library.

As for Johan’s crossdressing as a kid, I think that was her mother’s doing so they can easily hide from Franz or any other person they are trying to hide from. She might told her neighbours in three frogs that she only has one kid, hence what that guy believe (The one Tenma asked way back a few episodes).

And Lunge is getting really close to the trutht, that’s really nice. Hopefully he can save Tenma and reveal the truth before Johan get to him.

Damn Tenma’s support team was awesome to witness now if only Lunge joined them with all the evidence he has this might be an easily winnable case.

Tenma better not be planning any escape at this point on.

Really interesting how Tenma is the antithesis of Johan. Tenma gives life and brings joy while Johan takes life and brings fear. I like to see how all the previous characters are now coming back to help Tenma. Would be nice to see the military guy who trained him again

I like to see Lunge considering the possibility of Johan's existence. That "I'm still on vacation" call was too funny

everyone stands for Tenma, really confusing about the parents of twins tbh, so Anna was also the name of Johan and Nina's mother huh. and Johan was the one who killed Margot that's for sure.

About Lunge, He sure seems to have the sight of the light or the truth.

people reacting the news about tenma got caught gave me when people react to luffy's new bounty poster vibe

what becker said is true though, no matter how many people riot about tenma and no matter how good the lawyer is, it's useless since they got much proof and all

and lunge's getting deeper and deeper to the right side, i doubt he'll change his opinion about tenma though

Nice to see all the characters again that we met throughout the story. Lunge gave Tenma tips on how to handle being questioned by authorities (a good tip for anyone in custody: don't say anything), seems like he finally realized Tenma is innocent. There's not much more he can do for him until he catches Johan.

Holy f this is becoming so grand! we are reaching the climax of the arc

Well done to Urasawa for bringing back everyone from the story now that Tenma has been caught.

Lol Schuwald is assembling the Avengers of the German lawyers. He should call Saul, it would be an instant win

Seeing Lunge give good advice to Tenma is some great character development. How far he has come

Lunge will be the key to freeing Tenma I bet. Eva is a 50/50. Since apparently she can save him, but I have no idea what she will do considering how petty she is

Just what the hell happened in that room?

All the people unite around to help Tenma. That's so nice.

Did I mention how insane and beautiful the music in Monster is? I think not.

So Lunge found the letter behind the picture in the hidden room. The Monster's Love Letter is very mysterious...who wrote it? Franz Bonaparta? What made him sad? And what means the sentence "I gave you your name back"?
A lot of questions that we can clarify soon I guess.

this episode makes me realize the parallel with Tenma and Johan - both have done kind things to many people enough that they've influenced them in a good way

the difference is that Tenma does it out of pure kindness from the bottom of his heart, while Johan does it to manipulate people into following him

just thinking that when Johan gets caught, there might be people who will think he's innocent - just like how some of Tenma's patients and friends wish to save him out of gratitude

One of my favorite chapters so far. I loved seeing the reactions of everyone who has ever interacted with Tenma and how they defend him and even how Lunge changes his opinion about Tenma and realizes the existence of a real monster.

I absolutely love seeing the reactions of all who have been acquaintanced with Tenma in the past. It's so cool seeing them all again and where they are right now, especially the Vietnamese doctor-girl who is now studying med school. Most of these people are the result of Tenma's interaction by helping them, be it medically or otherwise. It's only right that they desire to free Tenma, after all, THE MAN'S INNOCENT!

Hell, even Lunge earned my respect, he redeemed himself after all the BS he's done obsessing over Tenma in the past. The man even told his boss to send someone else to deal with Tenma XD, he has truly moved on and saw the bigger issue at hand, the real monster. To top it all off, as someone who can actually have access to see Tenma, he gave Tenma some words of advice to help him go through the interrogation. A round of applause for Lunge. Finally! Lunge has truly been enlightened.
