I love how it cuts to Koichi ranting about how he "really saw a ghost" and Josuke's completely calm like, "I believe you. Just chill."
Its finally here.

those sound effects at the end with the hand were just the best.
Today's episode was basically a set up for the real plot of the show. It exists just to give the story a new direction.
I'm so glad best villain is finally here.

My evil boy Kira is here. Animated. Oh my god.
I'd like to give a hand to David Pro for their fantastic work.

Kira back in episode 12, confused by the power going out.
Also saw a reminder that they left out Rohan being an ass to an old lady for no real reason.

This was a great ep. Obviously, this ties into the next arc. If this was a movie, or a movie with this plot, I think the audience would have figured it out.
(ex: When Joskue tells Koichi that they're not just going to run into the killer, next thing that happens is Koichi almost gets runner over by Kira)

I'm not sure how popular it was in Japan back then, but I wouldn't be surprised if Araki learned about it during one of his vacations.
Well Rohan has been here for some time now.

Koichi on Rohan is canon, hold me too please.
At least we can agree on something
Rohan brings people together.

As a long time manga reader, this episode revealed something I never considered.
Reimi always felt safe when she let Arnold lick her hand
In the story, Reimi sticks her hand under the bed
Arnold is hung up in the closet
Kira licked her hand

Yeah the scar is hidden in the manga too.
All the fucked up stuff you see in this series and that was the one censored thing.

I mean yeah, that was the implication. Seemed pretty obvious to me, especially given his whole hand fetish

I completely forgot that bit. He hid under the bed and licked her hand. Shit.
That scene when Koichi turned around was legit creepy and cool. I was kinda hoping child Rohan was the one who killed the family and that's why his family moved
I love how the main characters just go around and don't have to always move together, makes the story more realistic.
I didn't expect Kira to be this.. jolly? And yes the theme does have Kefka-esque vibes.

Well, Kira was hiding under the bed. It was like a slumber party!
Why can't I hold all these hands and lick them.

This thread is going to be %50 kinkshaming anime David Bowie from now on.
Anyways, I felt the pacing was a bit too fast for my taste, but I loved the ending reveal. One thing I will say is that, had the anime not teased the living shit out of Kira, the reveal wouldn't have come across as predictable and obvious. Kira comes completely out of left field in the manga, and I really loved the nature of how an everyman could easily become your neighbourhood mass murderer.

Toshiyuki Morikawa as Kira is a damn good casting choice.

god now this is getting good also free Rohan
He's alright, but he'll never top Rikiya Koyama. That dude was perfect as Kira.

We've had like 3 minutes of the new VA, and he was really good, but he also has to voice Kira in a multitude of situations. Koyama only did voice clips in a fighting game, it's kind of a totally different beast.
He looks like a fanboy
That might be good enough to replace my current avatar
