Well, this episode was rather interesting. I personally hadn’t expected them to get this far. I guess they’re really going for some kind of a “good ending” build up here. Of course, the name of the arc, “皆殺し編”, doesn’t really offer much reassurance to any sort of a “good” ending.
I don’t really know what to expect from the rest of this arc as it seems like the Satoko business will be wrapped up in the next episode. It should be about time for the festival soon, so does that mean we’re going to get back to people dropping left and right soon? How will Keiichi’s “powers” come into play here? Will he able to do anything useful once the plot has shifted gears?
I do hope that things will pick up immediately after the resolution of the Satoko case. I know we still have a lot of episodes left but I’d much rather have them slowly elaborate on the plot over some filler episodes. I guess that the current scenario probably doesn’t really give much leeway for fillers, but hey, you never know.
