I'm utterly disgusted with all the hatred toward Oosugi.
Wishing him dead, just because he is investigating a potential boyfriend of his love-interest? Worse than SD Makoto? And at the same time no one gives a shit about such crimes like #11's habit...
It is ironic to see that a bigger part of the people who hates him, would probably behave similarly given the very same circumstances.
And please refer to my Teal Deer post in the previous episode thread, IMO he isn't all that different to Saki in that regard to be honest.
Well, truthfully I couldn't care less about that love-triangle part of the story, I find it out of place.
Anyway, I'm a tiny bit disappointed with the episode, because it was more or less predictable (except running over Jack-Black).
The few things worth mentioning
Spoiler for length:
- #10 doesn't seem to suspect #1 being the Supporter strangely.
- #10: "Especially since they say IX isn't the Supporter". Who are "they"? #11 was convinced Akira is the supporter and both Kondo, both Hiura seemed to think the same, so is #10 referring here on the other Selecaos? Why would they think it differently anyway?
- #10: "but IX is different to cooperate with". If we can believe him, he implies he tried to cooperate with Akira. IDK is that before or after the Careless Monday, where Akira obstructed #10's plan and evacuated the people. Or it's also possible they cooperated up to that point and Akira deceived him in the end, and evacuated them.
- Desk Ninja-kun from the club says Akira is only famous by 5 name, and not more.
The names on the passports in episode1: Shibutane Makoto; Mirose Koji; Hasegawa Kasuja; (+Takizawa Akira obviously) and there might be more passports than that.
Oosugi's phone at the trainscene episode8: Hasegawa Kazuya; Hozosawa Naoki; Gise Koji (and Kozi on the boatscene); Shibuya Makoto; Okada Shintaro.
As we can see the fake names are the names from his passports. Obviously there are a few differences comparing the names romanized, but the kanjis seems the same for me (do note I can't read kanjis).
- How nice of Saki to ignore Oosugi again! Did she forget already the events few episodes earlier where her ignorant behavior eventually caused a much much worse outcome? Surely hearing him out wtf is his problem wouldn't kill anyone...
- Too bad we jumped through the purchase entries (if there was any) between the mindwhipe and the careless monday...
- Is that a coincidence or is that really #10 there at the scene? (sorry for shitty quality)(he doesn't say what was his profession, he only just said he dislikes bureaucracy, and bureaucrats)
- #1 is furious that Panties hacked into the phone and seen the deleted entries, which kinda implies he might have been behind the erase history (and probably the memorywhipe).
- I don't understand Panties though. Why don't he put his phone on the charger and call him? Surely it could be more efficient to wait 1-2 minutes until the phone is capable to endure a call, than running after them. Additionally why don't he calls Akira through the internet? Or sending a text message through the web shouldn't be unheard for a hacker of his caliber.
- The other thing with Panties, in order to survive for two years, I believe he probably had to order food delivery through the internet. Then why don't he orders a new trousers too? (Hell using the anime's logic from ep1, it would be okay to go outside and ask a business man to hand over his own trousers).
Edit:
Spoiler for one more mystery:
How can #1 drive from the passenger seat? Are the cars in Japan automatic geared too? Because he shouldn't be able to reach the clutch from there if there's any...
The gear seems automatic alright, since he "pulls it down" instead of shifting it on the top left/right, but if it is automatic gear why is he using a manual hand-break? I haven't used my hand-break for like 2 years, since I'm driving car with automatic gear. (FYI: the gear also contains a position which works almost the same way as the hand break).
The other thing: why is he pressing down the accelerator pedal before changing gears? As far as I know it's not possible to change gears unless someone holds a foot down on the break pedal.
Anyway, why is that car left-sided there in the first place? (Japanese cars have the driver seat on the right-side).
At 04:01 in the parking lot we can see #10 standing before the door on the right side, which implies that the same car was right-sided there! It is the same car, but why did the animators made the driving seat on the other side? The only "logical" (?) explanation is that they changed cars to an exported (or imported if it's foreign) car, but the imported car is exactly the same, except the driver seat. WTF?
