Monks? You mean Koufuu? He wasn't a monk. Anyway, unless I missed something (in which case feel free to correct me) it has no special significance. Here's what I wrote in the episode thread:

Well okay, Koufuu certainly didn't act like the other monks. But yeah, basically what I was getting at was why these two very high powered men who died, also visualized women as a part of their powers. I was hoping the novel would shed more light on it....but it seems like it was mostly just an interesting visual for the audience instead of, say, weasels*, or something actually significant.
*Which incidentally, gets a hilarious visual in my mind thanks to Weird Al's song Albuquerque.

Are you sure there's no death feedback when people attack the bakenezumi with their powers?
Saki and that other woman were visibly sick. Was it just because they exhausted their powers, or did they experience a weakened feedback since the bakenezumi aren't entirely human? |

I think there is death feed back because the queer rats somewhat resemble humans. I just think it isn't as strong because they aren't real humans.
Maybe my memory is faulty but I remember them saying something like this back when the monk was killing the queer rats in the early episodes when the concept was first introduced.

Rijin started to get sick before the bakenezumi appeared, and according to Shun's most likely correct theory it was the physical kickback to the critter's holo image. (A mother and a helpless baby, I think that's the best defense mechanism ever against a human in that world. ) Even Saki & Co. who weren't actually involved in attacking it started to feel sick when the image appeared, and as for Rijin, his attack immediately ceased when he saw it (I guess the smell of burning flesh didn't help, even though it belonged to the crab-critters). The bakenezumi made it worse because their shadows made them look similar to humans.
Perhaps he would've survived (since in his rational mind he knew he didn't really kill any humans), but then the exploding dog happened. As for whatshername being sick, well, it's not like these people are cold-blooded killers. Enemy or not, they just destroyed a large number of living beings, the smell of their burning flesh is heavy in the air, etc... it's no surprise it's taken its toll.

Why don't you tell us details? Considering the most likely publisher decided to licence manga instead, it's quite unlikely we would see the book soon. As long as it's not a spoiler for episodes 22+, there is no reason not to share all juicy parts.

They're a small publisher, they can't afford major risks. I am guessing given the little bit of extra service in the manga it was probably a more likely candidate, considering the average buyer. Here's the cruel reality of the situation: http://vertical-inc.tumblr.com/post/...s-enough-thats |

In this episode 23 thread, kuromitsu made a little bit vague post about the PsychoBuster. Can someone explain a bit more about it? Also the letter that goes along with the PsychoBuster... Thanks! I feel like there are so much detail we are missing.

So since Shun said Maria and Mamoru's child is not a fiend, does that mean he's just a "normal" kid, only with a bad upbringing by the bakenezumi? Is the reason why he could kill so easily because was never taught/conditioned on how to value other human lives?
If that's the case, then what exactly is a fiend? More than someone who can bypass death feedback, is a fiend, specifically a fiend like boy K, supposed to be a mentally ill psychopath, while Maria's child is just someone who doesn't know any better? |

Now, I really would like a kind soul to spoil me about how this ordeal with the bakenezumi actually ends.

I meant they could get an actual (original) love confession in the anime. I know I would LOVE to see that And it's just that I thought they might show us the wedding in the anime. Also they need to show us that Saki is pregnant from Satoru and how they're gonna name their child... |
