They've been telegraphing the teacher so much that I hope it's not him. I think it would be more interesting if it was someone else.

dogsicle posted:yeah, 44 is the last chapter. the 1988 Revival/preventing the abductions is the only "case" in the show though Really? I think then it's fine and hopefully the ending won't be too far off. Also, luckily I missed the spoiler so I'll be happy to see how it resolves later.

I'd hate that because she's awesome and the best character on the show but it could be really cool if done well. Of course this all started because she recognized the killer in the first episode so the chance of that is pretty much zero. If it is the teacher I hope they do something strange, like maybe he's an accomplice or enabler instead of the actual killer.

Shakugan posted:Well, you "quoting for posterity" a post that makes a direct claim when you've apparently read the material into the future is pretty committal about how things will go jackass. Except this isn't what I meant by that at all? I was quoting because I thought it was funny out of context, not because of anything to do with the show's story. And now by doing so you are making implications that are more severe than what you are accusing me of. Bravo! e: Also I explicitly talked about how I'm being careful about spoilers or even implications of spoilers so I don't understand why people suddenly got up in arms about my post and even got me probated.

Caught up with Erased and I was convinced that the teacher was the murderer but the latest episode makes it way too obvious in making him suspicious so I don't even have a loving clue anymore

Prediction: Satoru is going to save everyone and the revival will end, and he'll be back in his 29 year old body. He opens his eyes and he's in bed next to Hiromi.

Epilogue details him slowly coming to terms with the fact that he now lives in the result of a life he never experienced. Slips into deep depression unable to connect with the world around him, having changed too much. Ends with him silently falling in front of a subway train. Nominated for best screenplay, best supporting actor.

If it wasn't for the fact that I don't really think there's enough time for another journey to the future and back, I would've guessed that Satoru was going to be sent back to the future and wake up in jail, only for Kayo to visit.

Apparently I just don't understand how people think. I guess I'll just not post unless someone posts a funny gif or something. Or until the end. Something like that.

I haven't read every spoiler tag in this thread so maybe this has come up already, but couldn't it be that Satoru is the killer? I don't really have a basis for this suggestion apart from "time shenanigans" though, and it doesn't seem like his power can create situations where there'd be more than one of him at a given time. Alternatively, it is some secret organization that guides fate by whatever means, possibly tied to the red eye thing or maybe all three kids committed suicide or otherwise died because of abusive (Kayo) or uninvolved (Hiromi) family and feeling unloved and someone just killed Satoru's mom because she's the best mom and they're jealous.

drat this show really knows how to do cliffhangers. Aside from that, I found it kind of funny how after Satoru spent so much of the previous episode stressing about how Aya was a stranger he had no convenient way of meeting, she ended up being pretty much an afterthought. I wonder if that's something the manga handles a little better, since from what people have been saying these last 3 episodes are covering a lot of chapters.Stall_19 posted:*Gasp!* You mean the adult male killer is literally the only other adult male in the cast?! How shocking! Also the only character with any kind of evidence pointing to him. However, I'm pretty sure it's the aforementioned cliffhanger that people are reacting to.

Stall_19 posted:*Gasp!* You mean the adult male killer is literally the only other adult male in the cast?! How shocking! That's the one bit of this upon which this could have been drastically improved. All they would have had to do was introduce Yuuki-kun's father as a character, and given stepdad a bit more screen time, and maybe inserted another plausible adult male character. It has, thus far, been a thrilling, intriguing and logical mystery. That said, if you look back at the beginning, the reason that Satoru's life as a mangaka failed was that he really wasn't able to get into the trusting and growing mind of a child, gradually learning that adults are just as, if not more, flawed than the children they're supposed to be guiding. This could very well wind up being more about Satoru's growth than the murder mystery itself. That said, the only mystery manga I've ever read has been Midnight Cross Method (recommended so far), so I might not have a good grasp of the way they work.

The manga does introduce Yuuki's dad, but Satoru's inner monologue dismisses him as a suspect in the same scene. So I dunno if you guys think that's better than having a lack of killer candidates. I'll have to check the ep to see how the Aya stuff compares, though I will say the series has always seemed better when/more about addressing Satoru's emotional growth, rather than being a mystery.

I don't think the killer being the most obvious person detracts that much. For me, it was never about figuring it out myself, but seeing how Satoru would figure it out and his reaction to it. And that was great

What would be brilliant would be if the last two episodes were from Kayo's perspective...that the death of her first true friend gave her the same "hole in her heart" that Kayo's death originally gave Satoru. So now she develops the Revival powers and goes back in time to save him!

Even though Satoru has a supernatural time power, he's still normal as a person. He's not a detective after all, just a guy who grows emotionally as he does his best to fix the past and it's fun to see how he deals when poo poo hits the fan.
