Just like Tenma saved Johan's life. Loooove the parallels that Tenma is being forced to witness

Alternative Tenma for Tenma to see, time for some perspective on your actions

Oh shit, was the dad not all bad? That's a freaking great twist

Dieter's abuse really has been understated until this point. It's almost like you can forget the shit he went through because of how well he's adapted to living with Tenma and co.

I mean I read the spoilers, but boy was it still a shock when it happened. Definitely a solid "oof," this is baaaaad

Really scared for Grimmer now, especially with his backstory revealed and his arc mostly done. No reason to keep him in the story which also means no reason not to kill him.

Grimmer is fucking great. And tenma is seeing unfortunately an alternative to Johan, proving a lot of the earlier claims true in Tenma's eyes. Unlike Johan, Grimmer was able to (eventually) move past Kinderheim 511 and not be a monster. But Johan hasn't, so (in Tenma's eyes) maybe he was always...

Jesus fucking christ, everytime Johan interacts with kids it's a new nightmare.

So Johan dressed as nina at a young age like I thought, which is why the townspeople only thought there was one child. But was this before or after kinderheim 511 and does this mean that nina had similar training as well? Or was she just a way to disguise Johan from the public?

Yeah, the reveal makes so much sense. Great choreographing of it with his knowledge, great explanation for the fake smile and why it feels so fake, great great all around. Does lead me to wonder if all kinderheim 511 did was create Dissosociative Identity Disorder in all of the children instead...

Loooove that slow zoom on Grimmer and his gradually exaggerated features when Johan starts talking about the monster inside him. Further love how Grimmer defaults to his spy smile the second he lifts his face up, putting his mask back on and relying on his training to cope with the situation.

Agree with VasHy, thought no way it would happen because that sounded like twist for twists sake, but yeah it happened and it actually served a purpose. Also means we can't trust nina's appearances in the future or potentially the past, and if Johan is used to this then that could explain why...

Alright two things. One, it seemed definitely not to be Nina when she said her name was "anna," so good breadcrumbing for the reveal at the end of the chapter. Two, sorry for doubting you @Xeredge, you were 100% right and I fell for it.

Leading me more and more to believe that the story about the "two monsters" is truly the basis for the twins, and that nina/anna was just as bad as Johan originally and just forgot. Disagree with Xeredge that it's just Johan crossdressing, though that would be a twist. Either Nina's killing...

Agree with @Cosmak that Grimmers probably from the kinderheim. Makes sense why he knows so much about the results of it's "education," why he's searching for more info about it, and why he's seemingly not affiliated with Johan despite the first two points.

This is such a great exploration of how a sociopath could learn the value of compassion and love. Yeah, the gramps himself didn't get it, and still viewed the children as lab rats, but he ended up instilling normal values into these kids cause there is actually a point to those positive...

I realized why Grimmer is so off-putting to me even though he's seemingly been doing nothing but good since his introduction. Every time he interacts with someone, he's always wearing a smile. When he's alone he can actually show other emotions, but when interacting with people it's just that...

This new character is so interesting.

Is nina actually also a monster? Is that why Johan is trying so hard to reconnect with her?

It makes so much sense that I'm annoyed I thought "maybe helping the orphans shows this is the alternate personality of Johan." Nah, he's just doing what was done to him in his orphanage and brainwashing the children.
