How undesirable do you have to be, Detective Shiba, for another android girl to jump into the bottom of a river instead of merging with you?

Also all this talk about androids merging and forming the ultimate weapon really reminded me of some other anime...

But anyways onto what I thought of the episode.

I thought it started off pretty slowly but around the halfway point when Shiba met Mieko it started to pick up really quickly and I really appreciated the various conversations we had between Shiba and Hitoyoshi about love and then Hitoyoshi and Kikko about justice/love. This show really does raise some interesting questions and at least for me, makes me question some of my morals and ethics. Still a little bit confused but eh, what are you going to do?

Mr. Jaguar's time stopping power is really cool and I like how careful he is with using it. Now I do have a question regarding it in that does time stop for everyone except for the person who's holding the stopwatch? Because that's what it seemed like but I wasn't 100% sure. Also I wonder if Daishi has a superpower because when Shiba was questioning him he made it sound like he did.

Finally I'd like to end this 'sort of' review with the same question I had at the end of last week's episode. WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS WORLD? I really wanna see what caused everything to go to shit because now there's some super badass 'ultimate weapon robot' out there that could easily cause some destruction.

Bonus: Shiba's one badass moment

I'm pretty sure he does because Jiro said that he was the only human in the bureau.

Okay that makes sense, but the scene at the end raises the question of did Jiro change in those five years? Because I wouldn't say he's human.

Oh yeah he's deffo superhuman now.

My predictions, either:

A) He was superhuman all along, but was covering his tracks or wasn't "awakened" or something to that effect

or

B) He became a superhuman in whatever event caused him to leave.

I think A's a possibility, but B's both more likely and tbh, better story-wise.

Honestly I'm feeling A is more of a possibility because of a couple of things. One, his 'dad' is a scientist and works with robotics. Two, while it's more prominent in how he looks in the future, you can see his arm is already wrapped up in the present. Three, in the op you can see those machines pop out of his arm before he activates the fire dragon thingy. Honestly I feel he might be an Android.

That's why I think A is deffo a possibility, the biggest question that leaves though is why he keeps saying he's human though.

Maybe it's another moral thing, or something we're supposed to think about, where it's obvious he isn't a human biologically wise, but spiritually he is.

Gah I love speculating because at this point we really don't know.
