I was really surprised when they revealed that Grimmer's friend, was Roberto =O

And I wonder, why does Johan want Tenma to be all alone. Is it because Tenma brought back Johan, when he wanted to get killed?

Wow I would've never guessed Roberto was Grimmer's friend from Kinderheim 511 ;o

P.S. I hate how they made Nina into a basket case in the end -.-

Heck, this is getting a 10 from me no matter what.

And what the fuck? Roberto was Adolf; the friend of Grimmer... No really, this is just fucking epic. Then again at the Runge scene being strangulated... Bloody hell.

I was very surprised to find out that Roberto was Grimmer's friend. So great.
Runge was very badass in this episode too. "Those calculations don't add up in the computer in my head"!
A-mazing.

Lunge, you're just awesome... :D

Roberto to be Grimmer's friend is quite surprising but what would be their reaction

to see each other again after knowing they're friends?? Anyway, Grimmer is just dead..

I missed those smiles :(

"I created a monster." "I revived the monster." Those lines are catchy :)

Runge and Roberto make most other fights look weak. Runge is one tough SOB.

Did Johan kill his mother? Did Nina?

Yes it was really suprising that Adolf is Roberto. And the battle between him and Runge was imo awesome. Almost through all story Runge irritated me, but the final episodes convinced me to him. ;)

Wow I really thought Roberto would be quite a bit older than somebody like Grimmer... Also that's messed up that Roberto is the guy who is with Lunge's wife although I guess karma's a bitch. She won't be living too well without a job and no man to support her... I hope to god Lunge doesn't take her back. Aside from all of that Nina is flipping insane! She reminded me of dialogues between Gollum and Smeagol in Lord of the Rings.

Good episode.

Oh man that Lunge and Roberto's fight it was awesome. And hopefully Lunge will win it. Tenma helping more people again.

And Nina go to that place where Bonaparta was drawing pictures of the twins. And finally Johan is going to end it all.

It was so sad to hear that Grimmer's good friend was Roberto. So that would mean Roberto was also in Kinderheim 511.

Bonaparte admitted his crime which was good. Hopefully they can make to hotel right on time. I already thought Nina is gonna go to berserk again in that cottage but luckily that didn't happened. 2 more episodes to go.

5/5

I wish we could have seen Roberto and Grimmer reunite. Would have been cool to possibly see more of their childhood if it sparked up some memories by seeing each other.

That moment when Roberto knows more about your grandson than yourself.
I didn't imagine cocoa boy being an important detail that ended up tying back to him.

I was honestly about to yell if Roberto was successful in strangling and killing Lunge.

Anna's memory recalls are so built up then they turn anti-climatic at the last second. -_-

excellent episode!!!

Lunge was badass and very alert of his surroundings!! and what the hell Roberto is sleeping with Lunge's wife?!?! seriously how the hell does he get so many women just like that!? he's not even good looking AT ALL. in fact he look like a fucking pig rapist as far as i know. Money must be a beautiful thing!!

i also can't believed Roberto is Grimmers friend. this is fucked up, guess only Grimmer is the one that was able to control his emotions all these years. so Grimmer and Roberto are the only ones that survived the Kinderheim 511 incident huh?

Lunge getting beat up :( how the hell did Roberto carried Lunge body flying out of the door yet he has a injury on his right arm lol.

man Lunge should have ripped his stomach some more!! i don't know why Lunge keeps giving Roberto a chance to live. he should have died in the library incident 40+ episodes ago!!! just kill that fucker!!

one of the best lines ever from Lunge!!

"Those calculations don't add up in the computer in my head"

why the hell did i smile during the scene when Lunge finished saying this XD

so now Lunge believes that Johan does indeed exists!!

so Franz Bonparta fell in love with the Twin's mother?! what i don't get is why Johan and Anna's mother? didn't they have a lot of couples during the original experiment.

it's funny how the original Monster is basically Franz himself. killed everyone that knew about the twins until no one but them are alive. if Tenma didn't save Johan none of this would have happened. though Anna would probably would never know the truth all these years

Anna's memories are almost complete!! so Johan was crying!?! i knew he still have emotions just like Grimmer said. you cannot erase your emotions forever. it just wanders somewhere in your head for awhile.

now the last two episodes are here. i don't know what will happen now T___T

Lunge has improved as a character, that's for sure.

Unfortunately the scenes with Nina are getting a bit annoying and overdramatic, even though they are important.

wasn't it already mentioned quite some time ago? The part whereby he was in Prague and the secret police head was mentioning his nephew which was Adolf. I mean it was already heavily hinted throughout. Why would Roberto even be under Johann, right?

I was wrong! Lunge didn't die! Yay!! Who knew he was so awesome even without his calm composure? XD

Can't believe Roberto was Adolf. That's just... no. It was like Grimmer's only decent memory of the orphanage, and it turned out to be him!? That's terrible. But well done. Good twist.

"I created a monster."
"And I brought that monster back to life."

Agreed.

But other than that, these last few episodes have been godlike. Lunge is... so good. I'm glad he didn't just get killed immediately by Roberto. Maybe he will still die (soon), I dunno, but I'm glad he got some more time to shine.

*Oh god Lunge, when he turned his back on the bathroom door, took his hand from his gun, and opened the bathroom blinds. What are you playing at man, trying to give me a heart attack, not after Grimmer.
*What the. No. Give me Lunge back.
*The opening sequence of Monster is seriously one of the best OPs of any anime I've watched. Only two more OPs left :(.
*Bonaparta the sly dog. Killed 43 people because he fell in love, wow.
*Wow, Roberto still manages to overpower Lunge.
*Bonaparta knew 10 years ago, he visited them. He was the 'monster'.
*Bonaparta created the monster, Tenma revived it... nice.
*Oh my, that Lunge face with his tongue sticking out. Now why couldn't he do that to make his grand kid laugh instead of when Roberto is attacking him.
*Team Lunge. Turned that one AROUND.
*Nina with her hushed dramatic tones, repeating quotes like a robot, and constantly talking about her horrible past.
*So instead of the oldies handling the gun, they give it to Wim.
*I'm really confused with what Nina is saying, she's describing Johan like some type of hero: 'he was crying in this room', 'he's gone to town to end everything.'

It's really only an okay episode, story wise nothing much has developed apart from Lunge overpowering Roberto, and Nina/Rudy finding the drawings.
