Ah Shinichi… Sure that he got stronger and sharper than before, but it seems that he somewhat lost his compassion.
Take this dog for example. It’s going to die soon and the only thing a normal human would do is bury it. So, what did Shinichi do?
Throw that rotting lump of- I mean the dead dog in the trash can. Looks like Shinichi lost a bit of humanity there!
It’s very unsettling upon seeing his actions, and it seems that Shinichi’s friend Satomi Murano is worried about him becoming a completely-different person.
Then again, Murano is worried that Izumi-kun is meeting that Kana girl.
By the way, Kana has some powers that can detect parasite-infected people like Shinichi Izumi. However, her said powers didn’t explain on how she got one as of this episode, so it’ll be revealed of its origins in the future.
Meanwhile, this series introduces a new character named Hideo Shimada. And like Ryoko Tamiya, he’s blending in with the crowd by not attack people at random… unless someone saw his identity.
Take Yuko Tachikawa for example where she was infatuated by Hideo at first sight. But after seeing him shape-shifting his face, Yuko is scared but curious on what Hideo is.
Too bad though as Hideo doesn’t want anyone seeing him eating humans. Therefore, Yuko is pretty much screwed…
Next episode, I hope that Shinichi succeeds of rescuing Yuko. Then again, he’ll have to deal with Hideo the hard way!
