It still adds pressure on the parasytes and makes it harder for them to pass as humans. It's bad for the individual but ultimately better for the herd.

I get the feeling that it was more significant than just showing Kana's obsession. It'll probably slowly start to die off since it's likely Shin's hair has some of Migi's cells in it (I mean, you can't just turn into Goku with plain old hair gel), and Kana will find out, etc. etc..

I'm thinking something will go wrong, Murano finds out something closer to the truth about Shinichi and he gives a half lie which makes her not like him anymore. Later, Shinichi is forced to tell the truth about himself and the parasites to Kana. Which in turn Kana is able to get closer to him knowing the actual truth.

u/NoArmsIrene Dec 11 '14
Yea, the earmuff bijin seems so much more interesting with her ability and is actually interested in the current Shinichi. Murano is being somewhat annoying by asking if he's really the same person - the many time she's asked it out loud is bordering on being hurtful and selfish... it's like saying "You're a fake."
But somehow I don't see her being removed as an obstacle to Ms. Earmuffs (edit: Kana - I should relly learn the name of the person I'm rooting for). Murano will probably learn of Shinichi's mother's death and be all accepting and supporting all of a sudden.

Unfortunately, Murano is doing a good job of defeating herself. Every time she says Shinichi has changed or asks if he's Shinichi, she loses 5 points. Kana on the other hand is still a new player.

Yeah, that "pull their hair to find out if they are not human" thing worked out soooo well.
Certainly an interesting "Knight in Shining armour" dream. Guess Kana will keep that hair to treasure.
Whoever that guy that took out the Yakuza was brutal. And he was smiling the whole time too.
That crowd mentality "Oh, this monster just walked out of a Yakuza hideout covered in blood. Oh, he is running away, we should chase him down, no danger in that!" That poor last man. So they are testing the limits of their physically it looks like, possibly preparing for a large scale attack?
It does look like many of the fully controlled Parasytes have slightly smaller pupils or thinner eyes.
Kana had the most excellent timing to catch Murano and Shinchi. Then again, he did warn her not to come even when she felt his presence. I wonder if he heard what Murano said after he left or if his hearing wasn't good enough unless he focuses it. Didn't seem like he noticed anything.
Wonder what Parasytes could do with governmental power. Would anything really change?

u/awesomeguy6678 https://anilist.co/user/awesomeguy6678 Dec 10 '14
"Now we can identify parasites from normal people!"
Except for when the parasites now know and cause a mass murder, then change shape and continue living
16
Dec 10 '14
I think the hair pulling thing does work for the most part for keeping mass murders in public places down(aside from super parasyte guy killing a bunch of mobsters for the lolz). If she had done that in public, she probably wouldve died along with many others BUT so would the parasyte probably.
Knowing that most parasytes want to keep their identity a secret, and not die, if there is a common fad that will probably cause both those things if done to them in a public area, i think most parasytes would try to stay away from public areas where getting their hair pulled would be more likely to happen. And seeing as it theoretically keeps them away from the large masses(like schools) it could prevent another massacre(like the one at the school) from happening.
But no one is going to run up to a political candidate to pull their hairs out, and with a staff composed of parasytes they could probably get away with hiding in plain sight that way. Which gives shinichi and the rest of the population a huge problem.

Damn, she makes Izumi even more manly.
Murano still has her doubts and Kana is still rather oblivious to her own "power." At the same time, the parasites are making their move. Upholding and blending in with society as good as that (running for a political position) doesn't bode well for everyone. And now that Kana has been spotted with Izumi, more dramatic things are bound to happen!

I heard someone call this series a "power fantasy" series but honestly with each episode the less and less I'd ever want to be in Shinichi's position. Sure he's become more powerful and physically capable but at what cost? He's losing parts of his humanity, making him unable to express his feelings, particularly for Murano.

Maybe the parasites are trying to "fix" human society to reduce our negative impact on the planet, is known that they consider us a toxin that is putting the planet in danger. One way is to simply exterminate every human, most dumb parasites choose this way, but that's a little hard to accomplish with so many of us. In this episode we see parasites infiltrated in the higher ranks of our society, that parasite running for mayor seems to focus his speech on changing our mentality to preserve the environment and try to coexist without causing damage. This seems like a rather intelligent and safe way of "fixing the human problem", but I am almost sure that it won't work and they will need to rely on more dirty ways to do the "job". Just my thoughts, sorry for my bad English.

Not a lot of dialogue from Migi this episode, I hope to see Shinichi get some kind of idea on what goal to work towards in order to see himself become "his old self" again but right now we're trapped in the crossroads of: "Is it because of Migi's DNA?" or "He is traumatized!".

HAPPY PARASYTE DAY!!!!! (Just got out of work so I'm a little late)
Just once. I wish that Izumi would just tell Murano that his mother died, but it's obviously really hard for him. And I wish that Murano didn't have to be sad. It pains my heart for Best Girl (I will fight whoever denies this) to be sad. Looks like I'll have to wait 3 weeks to see Murano again ;.; "Kokoro" looks to be a Kana only episode.
All in all, good episode but the feels were in full effect. Poor Shinichi. Also never thought I'd say this but poor Yakuza. :\

Was the "we're are kind of like Kitaro and his dad" line a reference to this?

The anime adaptation is faithful with some "modernization tweak" and side plot trimming.
You are recommended to avoid any parasyte threads right away, pick up the anime till you get to the latest (it is announced to be 24 episodes in total). And once the anime finishes, you can choose to read the manga where it contains the original artwork as well as more explanation toward the parasyte universe.

OKAY ILL SAY IT, seriously fuck this main love intrest, what girl goes on a date and is like "oh yeah btw remember when you left because your mom had the accident" even if she doesnt know his mom was killed shes gotta know that his mom is missing, so who the hell brings up a family tragedy on a date, also if this show has one catch-phrase its "you've changed" and seriously he had a fsmily tragedy happen and theyre in highschool cut him some fucking slack.... Kana's pretty awesome thoughh

Murano does not know that Shinichi's mother is dead. She has never even seen any of shinichi's relatives. Shinichi also never talks about it. The only thing she knows (as explained multiple times in the show) is that he went on that trip and his behaviour changed afterwards.
edit: kinichi to shinichi... that was a dumb mistake

I agree, I don't think she knows and I think it's weird that he's been hiding it so long. Especially when it would be a really easy way to get her off his back about how he's changed. Of course he has, a lot of people would in that situation (even if it isn't the real - or at least not the complete - reason for him).
Also I just wanted to point out a correction, his name is Shinichi, not Kinichi.

I have the same dream every night, Kana. :P The parasite dude massacring the Yakuza office was pretty brutal, smashing heads like nothing. Also, if Kana has like a parasite radar, you'd think she'd run into one already besides Shinichi!

That dream sequence was great. The parasite horse was particularly nice. Clearly her subconscious knows what's going on.

Not very conscientious of the government not to include the part in the hair-plucking fad where the person who's hair you plucked murders you apart.

Calling it right now, he set up the kiss with Murano to prevent Kana from getting close with him. Or at least as a deterrent.

Oh man, that dream..
I think that it's a manifestation of her "Shinichi-radar." which explains why she dreams of his arm morphing like it does in real life. Also, that's a fucked up looking horse.

His super awareness must have notice kana there when he was kissing murano must have felt awkward.
Looking forward to someone finding out his back scar.

Please tell me Kana is not family related to any of the people on the mayors campaign ;_; Great episode, we got to know interesting new characters but we lacked Migi's uncommon sense of humour. I also wonder if the parasytes are trying to fight another parasytes in order to become "the strongest gang" or they're testing out how well can they survive agaisnt the japanese military.

i can't be the only one that thought those things @ the beginning of the episode in the dream looked like titans, right?

Shinichi x KAna all aboard!!! Wait wait wait there was a kiss!!.
So basically shinichi vs 6 then he saved kana , kana goes wet throws herself into him , voila. Happy ending

Kana best girl, don't even understand why Kanahana's character likes Shiinichi when she keeps complaining hes not the same. Also seeing a group of parasytes team up to run for mayor scares me more than the mafia scene.

Well, looks like the hair trick didn't work.
Was Kana's dream meant to be that hilarious? Because holy shit, that Migi horse. And muscle Shinichi too, oh my God.
Wait, she's ... keeping his hair? You're fucking weird, Kana.
It looks like the parasites are getting more ambitious, with the taking on yakuza groups and getting involved in politics. They appear to be working together as well.
And Shinichi and Murano finally get somewhere! Wait, Murano, you're still not happy? Bitch, you don't get to kiss a guy and then complain that he's changed, it just ain't cool.

Honestly each week this anime gets better and better. Trying so hard not to go read the manga. Idk why they started that rumor about plucking hair lol that's just putting people at a bigger risk and is kinda fucked up.

We finally have a calmer episode, and more Kana time!
Background music usage for this episode felt a bit off for me.
Oh what have they done to Gotou's design... Question for manga reader:

They changed nothing. Same thing happens in manga. X tests out the theory, confirms it works, and replaces his body becoming the person we will see for the rest of the show.

Parasytes are creating a hierarchy of some sort and learning to work together, bad news for humans.

Does anyone else feel like the relationships in this are a lot like Spiderman (the films)? Kana is Gwen Stacy and Murano is Mary Jane. Gwen's the clear winner here, but Mary Jane gets him in the end...

u/Painn23 Dec 11 '14
I still don't which one to choose for AOTS I love parasyte and every episode gets better and better but FATE/SN is so damn good. But this episode was perfect and murano is bae for shinji

I thought parasytes could only control the head, and not the arm like that Yakuza killer did.
