I can see where it could’ve been a great watch given the proper development and presentation of her in prior episodes, but I sure didn’t feel any of the impact the moment was meant to give.Īnd so move on we shall. Sadly, the return and inclusion of Five doesn’t do any favors toward what was otherwise a spectacular episode, and I honestly don’t know what to say about what she does with her “confession” and “dramatic send-off”.
Considering episode nine (clearly, this isn’t a coincidence) was my favorite episode of the series so far, that’s definitely a good thing, and I’ll say I was on the edge of my seat as I watched most of the events develop-especially when Shibazaki finally meets Mamiya face to face. Going back to the actual events this week though, I have to say that it manages to maintain quite a bit of the intensity and raw emotion from the previous week. Watanabe’s clearly packing Zankyou with more than just terror, and one does begin to wonder at what point does his message cease to become just that-that is, how much of the message is related to the story versus how much of it is his own view on it all? Needless to say, one could spend all day discussing the potential ramifications and symbolism here, and it’s important to at least note that it exists here.
The federal government is shattered by their incapability to behave, and the police are left frantically trying to find methods to crack down the perpetrators. Painted in crimson, the phrase “VON” is all that’s left behind after a terrorist assault on a nuclear facility in Japan. They need to not exist, but they stand sturdy in a world of deception and secrets and techniques whereas they make the town fall round them, all within the hopes of burying their very own tragic fact.Īre you really a terrorist in the event you consider it is for the greater good? Zankyou no Terror tells the story of Nine and Twelve, the 2 boys behind the masked figures of Sphinx.
