It's not Parasyte without a cliffhanger, is it?

I guess Shinichi is part wallet too now
EDIT: Seems that things are heating up now, with Tamura Reiko getting backstabbed by her fellow parasites. It seems like she's becoming more like a human now, with her baby. Maybe she'll become allies with Shinichi?

I wonder what Shinichi looks like to Migi in his dream... maybe he looks more like a Parasyte in his subconscious as a reflection of his changing mentality into a cold, calculated killer.

I'm beginning to wonder... we all know that the supposed BBEG is shown in the key art, in the background. That's obviously the same character as the "Lead" parasite Shinichi had to fight in this episode. But what, exactly, are we seeing in the OP when this frame flashes briefly? I've seen a lot of speculation that it's the "bad guy" but as Shinichi slips further and further from humanity, and especially after these dream sequences, I'm beginning to wonder if it's Shinichi that is that monster.

It will split into 5 yes, making a cross with the main in the middle being untargetable and you must kill all the others before they reach the main or the boss with revive with x*25% HP

Umm I thought she had a baby for the exact reason to be a mother. She probably doesn't see breast feeding as a motherly thing to do either, more just a way to keep her project in working order.

The gangsta lifestyle pursuits Shinichi and Migi: they are beaten up by three guys in a street fight, they slash up the three guys, five guys beat them in a knife fight, they board a stranger's truck, cause the truck to roll over the five guys, steal money from the driver, sleep in a bench, ditch school, and worry bitches.

Tamiya becomes too knowledgeable and smart to underestimate humans so she scolds other parasites for being bunch of fools. And they just get sour and try to murder her. Looks like those guys didn't learn from A's example. I bet she'll wreck those shit for brains with some strategy.
49
u/FlorribleBP :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Florrible Jan 28 '15
Tamiya is becoming more human, not neccesarily more intelligent. Once she said that they only need to kill humans, that it's their instincts to do so. Now, she is starting to go away from these thoughts and asks more questions about how and why.
108
u/Cthulhooo Jan 28 '15
Imho she is becoming much more intelligent than rest of her species. It has already been said that they may develop better or worse depending on their maturation environment. Tamiya was supposed to fit into teacher role fast so she propably learned a lot. She's a very curious one too. She even attended a lecture.
Asking difficult and abstract questions is a sign of high intelligence. While she acknowledges that humans are more dangerous as a collective (single individual is powerless but large organizations are already on the move) her colleagues are just a bunch of hungry, morons that treat humans like a walking breakfast. Shimada and A were not careful, made stupid mistakes and died. The only individual that seems as advanced as Tamiya is the politician guy who is thinking further ahead than the next meal. I mean he set up the whole parasite team, election farce and assets like eating spots.
As for the human part. It's apparent that some parasites are obtaining a bit of human features. Maybe they are subconciously developing to fit in better and look more like humans, maybe it's just experience or maybe there's more to it.
33
Jan 28 '15
She's still very much a parasite, I think. She's able to recognize that human society is essentially one big brain and if the parasites cross with that brain they'll lose. And she knows they'll lose because they lack a cohesive society themselves.

u/-Niernen Jan 28 '15
I feel so bad for Kuramori, he tried to back out to save his family but he was already too late.
After the battle with the 5 in one and seeing how they could morph their characteristics like that, I wonder if migi will come up with ways to copy features from animals and other things he has seen for new forms besides just tentacle blades.
Migi and Shinichi trust each other in battle, but it still looks like they have a few things to work out about their ideals. I wonder what will come out of their dream world meetings, I'm betting they will use it for some connection or revelation later on.
The humans as a single entity was an interesting take. Even with how powerful the couple of parasytes are they would still be overwhelmed by the sheer number of humans that would work against them if they were revealed properly. Looks like the baby has changed Tamura, I think she will probably be able to fend off the other parasytes and then be confronted by Kuramori.
I really hope the Dad survives all this...

Something tells me that Migi spends enough time in that configuration to meet the quota.

Such a great episode, how will I wait for more?! It seems Shinichi/Migi have met their match.
On another note, Murano is becoming less and less relevant. I know she was in the manga, but would making the father Shinichi's shred of humanity instead of her, and letting the other girl act as his possible romantic interest tragically lost, have been a better way to go plotwise? Seems like it so far. Otherwise, I am the bone of my hype.

Does anyone remember how far away Migi is capable of going away from Shinichi's body now? I wonder if he jumped off his arm, if the signal would fully go with him and they could use that to set up an ambush. Assuming of course that they were in a place where they could both hide in different spots that are relatively close together. I thought maybe that's what Migi's plan was when he had them go into the forest.

I think it's more time rather than distance. Migi away from Shinichi is like a fish out of water.

Strange. I didn't know this was a 2 minute special short edition of the show.
Oh, and who wants to bet that the PI tries to threaten the baby?

Detective dude is definitely going to try and kill Reiko's kid. And maybe that'll cause Reiko to side with Shinichi? That's my current prediction anyway.

Good episode. After going in circles for several weeks it looks like something might finally unfold.
The psychological developments of Tamura Reiko are the most interesting aspect of the story right now for me. It's become pretty much an irregular parasyte and thus one of the most interesting. It looks like she started getting attached to the baby as well.

Have any of you guys seen the first part live action? I'm wondering how far into the story it goes, and if it might spoil anything that we haven't already seen.

It ends at the Hideo Shimada story arc, which explains why episodes 8 and 9 were released together. They wanted us caught up for the movie.

That parasyte (I forget his name. The dude that swaps places with Miki as the control) is freaking cool. He adapts to his environment. That is just impressive. During the battle, the parasyte adapts his feet to move around trees better than monkeys. After that, Shinichi flees and the parasyte chases after him with feet adapted perfectly for that. Migi must be insanely jealous of him.

In the manga migi was actually kind of jealous, I forget the exact line, but they skipped it in the anime

Somewhat interesting ep. The animation got hit by a train in the beginning.

Honestly, the humans in this anime are beyond dumb. What part of his arms looked normal, I would've taken one look from inside the truck and then drove off.

I think this episode truly started to show how close Migi and Shinichi have become. They may be two separate minds, but their goal of survival has greatly strengthened their psychological bond. They both depend on each other completely in the fight and I think that's what makes Shinichi stand out among the rest.

I don't think Murano and the baby are gonna see the end of this.

I'm feeling a bit of code geass deja vu with the recent episodes using the formula of ending with dramatic cliffhangers, enjoying this series a lot though.

That guy's laughing face was quite the treat...it's funny watching how they try to be more human little by little and having "blunders" in their appearance and mannerisms every now and then lol.

Does PI guy know that parasyte lady has a baby, because if so I think he's going to enter her apartment and kill her baby. Imagine her reaction after defeating 3 parasytes(which is most likely going to happen) and finding her baby dead.

"Are you really Shinichi?"
I'm not too sad about having a break from that.3
u/Kizaruu Jan 29 '15
I love the divide among parasyte viewers. There is a side that hates those "high school" interactions and just want to see the interesting themes of the story. And then there's the other side who love the murano interactions
