Spoilers for same

Finally..... HOW many lead-up eps did they have for this? Six? Still, it did turn out really nicely.... Johan wasn't after the old, almost-dead kingpin after all but instead the room full of business leaders that came to see him... Nice call for maximum chaos.

I don't think the book is meant to be taken literally, but rather show us that Johan identifies with the hungry monster that wants to eat everything. Maybe it's because he was an orphen, so didn't know his own name. I wonder if he chose Johan after reading the book... Which was pretty creepy come to think of it. Munch munch. Crunch crunch.
