    I hate when they add lame sound effects to the OP.

    Good episode though. Twenty Faces shows up, and surprise surprise, he was on at least one occasion hiding as Akechi.

    You have to feel bad for Akine though. We knew he was a depressed loser, but now we know a little more about why. Losing his sister in the middle of post-war depression, she just vanished completely. Sure, he had his little selfish thought for a second, but then he did come to his senses and start looking for her right away.

    I have to admit that when they told that story, I immediately thought about the white-haired woman. If Kayama and her now-dead partner were continuning the research into Super Soldiers, well after the war was over, it's not so hard to believe that someone could have taken Akine's sister after she was separated and used her. Post-War orphans were cheap and in large supply...and there's no way to tell how old the White Haired woman really is.

    Glad to see Twenty Faces back in action, though it kind of sucks what happened to him, I was expecting a more badass outcome.

    That was kind of lame, I mean the end... I just started watching this and marathoned it last night, and it was kind of anticlimactic...

    Still, I am looking forward to the next episodes...

    this episode is very frustrating. twenty faces comes up out of nowhere, takes over white haired lady's research, then decides all by himself that it's not good research, leaving white-hair out in the cold with her life's work burning down around her, and the only problem she has with him is that he left her all alone?

    I still don't get how she was able to transfer from body to body. Her "power" explains how she's able to control her puppet-like body, but that has nothing to do with jumping from one body to another remotely.

    Is she actually jumping? Maybe she gained the ability to control from afar, like a remote, and since it uses a lot of concentration, her original body becomes immobile?

    Excellent episode. From Koito's imagination to Tome admitting she was a bit into girls as well when she was their age. Akine even got to show off his cool side.

    I hope they get into a storyline where Akine hunts for his sister, but I do have a bad feeling about it. She just disappeared Post War, right off the street. Orphans and the kind of "evil science" that this series focuses on are never a good mix.

    I'm getting a bit annoyed with Chiko... she's still completely useless for the most part. She has all these skills and is unable to do anything with them.

    I think this time at least, Chiko's inability to do anything was understandable. Just like in the first Iron Soldier arc, Chiko couldn't do anything but run. Here, Miyuki Sawashiro's character (can't remember the name but still love the voice) had to save Ken.

    Chiko was dominant in the episodes about The Dectective Girls, but she's starting to deal with some rather scary people who have a total lack of morals about creating monsters of themselves and third-parties. Worse, she's always been on public display, leading all these people to come after her in hopes of taking the legacy. The ones who don't even know what the legacy really is are fine, Chiko takes care of them without breaking a sweat. It's the true foes of Twenty-Faces that she can't stop.

    I find it at least a little refreshing that she wasn't trained into some type of superhuman. Other than being very acrobatic, she's still very much a normal girl as I think Tome said a little while ago. Twenty Faces himself gets stabbed, blown up, or otherwise nearly burned to death every time someone from his darker past shows up. He has to defeat them by taking advantage of the situation (usually because he and Chiko are the first to react) rather than using some absurd skill or overwhelming force.


    On another note, I can't seem to shake the connection between Tome and Akine. She just might be the right age to be his lost sister, and for some reason my mind keeps fixating on the two of them when they are together.

    It's not really about her being physically capable of taking on these "super soldier" types... But the show has her repeating the "Observe, think, etc." line over and over, and she ALWAYS (except for her aunt) ends up being duped, or she can never come up with a workable strategy to get through her troubles.

    I guess I just have a problem with the show trying to make Chizuko this smart little girl who's the heir to Twenty-Faces just to have her making dumb decision over and over.

    Ugh, what a horrible cliffhanger!

    I'm certainly looking forward to the secret to defeating the monster siblings is. I really thought Chiko had the doctor for a minute there, but I suppose it's too early for any resolution in the story.

    Good episode, a conclusion to the main story. I have mixed feelings about a few things though. I wonder if the next episode will be either an omake episode or a time-jump epilogue 5-10 years later.

    The microwave thing kind of bothered me. If it destroyed metal objects and shocked Chiko's hand, why didn't in fry her body immediately? I suppose if it were "wide enough" beams (like a microwave column in space transmitting power from solar arrays might) it wouldn't affect anything until it got to the point of conversion like the Professor said.

    Either way...the jewel was a total deus ex machina and I thought it was really lame.

    I liked that Ken and Kayama will be going off together, they were a good fit.

    (Note to self: When replacing hands with metal hands, be sure to install grip pads on palms of metallic hands.)

    Haven't done any anime watching in quite a bit, maybe I can regain my groove with this one.
