I find increasingly the portrayal of the mental issues in the major characters to be flawed and irritating. This show has boasted some fantastic plot twists and some great character development, but it seems to fundamentally miss the mark on psychology. Ah well, onwards we go!

Was surprised about Roberto being the friend of grimmer. Dayuuum, Lunge and Roberto's fight FTW!

I'm done with Nina's memories and gasps, thought it was pretty cool BUT after seeing the same shit for literally 123123 times Jesus fucking Christ!

Lunge, you beautiful bastard, thank God he didn't die, can't take two of my favorite characters dying back to back.

They should've let Roberto and Grimmer meet/fight instead, it would've been more epic with their Kinderheim flashbacks.


also, Nina is starting to get fuckin annoying with all her dramatic shit.

Since watching Saving Private Ryan I didn’t experience an intense CQB with both man struggling for survivor I hope Lunge survives all of this and have his reunion with his grandson... So, Roberto was in Kinderheim 511 and he was an acquaintance of Grimmer in Kinderheim 511, wow!

Damn Lunge was at his best here. Digging his thumb into Roberto's bullet wound was horrific but awesome. The scene where he was being strangled was good too simply due to how creepy it was seeing big bad Lunge at the mercy of another.

I hate this reliance on Nina's memories that have plagued the later half of the show though. That blank stare and repeating the same phrases half a dozen times but practically yelling them out is retarded.

I was convinced Lunge was killed off by Roberto after hearing those gun shots. My heart sank. The following scenes of these two characters were incredible.

Only 2 episodes left. Damn.

Monster is dropping so many bombs, the rewatch value seems extremely high.

And Lunge was so savage.

I had honestly forgot that Grimmer had mentioned a friend in K511. Also, the Czech police nephew. It was a good twist regardless.

I feared for Gillem. Nina looked as if she was about to bring the Armageddon.

Lunge's fight with Roberto ..uff.

Roberto definitely goes to my top hated character list. (If there's any, lol)

If only Grimmer met Roberto...

Lunge seems need to upgrade the processor of his brain, he should've just shoot Roberto's arm or leg so that he can't move.

So it's not Poppe who killed the parents... then it's Johan.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

Every scene is perfect!

This reminds me of Monster's ability to create compelling characters that when two interact, some sort of magic appears.

Take for example, Roberto and Lunge. We've known them since time immemorial, but we never knew how powerful a scene would be with this duo. The standoff was breathtaking. It's both a battle of wit and strength. (I was rooting for Lunge, of course. Though he forged a path of destruction against Dr. Tenma, I could never find it in my heart to hate him. I think it's due to the complexity of his character.)

Adding to the intense battle is the tying of a loose end - Roberto's real identity. Again, we see how Monster does not rush things. It takes its time to build up its story, its characters, and then gives a satisfying end thereto.
“Why does an apple fall when it is ripe? Is it brought down by the force of gravity? Is it because its stalk withers? Because it is dried by the sun, because it grows too heavy, or because the boy standing under the tree wants to eat it? None of these is the cause.... Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will is in the historical sense not free at all but is bound up with the whole course of history and preordained from all eternity.”

if Grimmer and Roberto went to the same place and time of the orphanage, then why they aren't the same personalities? I know Johan Made Roberto remember 1 thing but that's how it was to manipulate him? or did I just missed something lol

To think that the sweet nephew kid who shared cocoa with Grimmer is that bastard Roberto.

With Lunge no longer seeing Tenma as culprit he definitely turned into one of the more awesome characters especially seeing him fight against Roberto there was just badass.

Roberto being Grimmer's cocoa friend got me, for sure.
Lunge's now a certified badass.
I will wait for the end to give a judgement on Nina's flashbacks.
