Seat belts pretty much don't do poo poo for restraining even if it's "locked". You'd have to trigger the explosive pretensioner to actually hold someone in place on top of disabling the release and locking the retractor reel, and that's not something you can really do on the fly.

To be honest, silly though it is that he didn't think to wriggle out under the belt, he was hardly in his right mind at the time, having just been blindsided by the killer a few minutes earlier, as well as being faced with imminent death on top of that. Perhaps a bit of a shame it needs to be justified that way, but oh well.

What if the seatbelt was not a physical restraint, but rather one of the mind

"Small town" serial killer, as if the concept of a serial killer matters on the size of their killing grounds

Futaba Anzu posted:"Small town" serial killer, as if the concept of a serial killer matters on the size of their killing grounds I was more pointing out that despite the time-travel weirdness, this story has generally leaned towards a low-key, small-scale, realistic atmosphere where stuff like child abuse is treated in a painfully true-to-life way. And then we have stuff like the main villain making faces like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and spouting JRPG villain lines without any obvious sense of self-awareness on the part of the show. There's a bit of a tonal clash there. Maybe if they played it up as evidence of Yashiro's immaturity? Drew some parallels with our literal manchild of a protagonist? That might be neat and thematically fitting - you could further explore the desire to be 'super' in an unpredictable, uncontrollable, and often uncaring world that's blighted Satoru's life. Without that, it feels a bit too much like the show is expecting us to take something very silly seriously.

satoru obviously has some heroic ideals and fondness for the idea of superheroes, see the reoccurring flashback to him with the red sentai figure, an image which im 99% sure the show has related to how he views the teacher. having him use lines that are couched in that sort of sentai hero versus villain style was appropriate

Like, I can see how it might do it, but it hasn't yet generated enough trust to make me feel sure that it will, if you get me. As is, it sort of feels like two shows slightly awkwardly bolted together.

Fair enough. If you ever feel in the mood for it, though, it has continued to be extremely good. Easy AOTY material.

Not sure why people are calling out the seatbelt trap when the whole plan to trap Satoru was kind of ridiculous. So many things could've gone wrong to throw the timing off that I almost believe the killer is also a time traveler.

So many things could've gone wrong to throw the timing off that I almost believe the killer is also a time traveler. It was a plan that gave the killer two possible outcomes that he wanted. Either Satoru doesn't come and he gets to murder the girl, or Satoru comes and he gets to murder Satoru instead. His manipulation of children is pretty spot on considering he's an extremely intelligent, psychopathic adult. The only thing we don't know is how many crimes he's committed before since wisdom in risk assessment is essential for any murder spree. If it happened after the turn of the century, then it could be a bit less believable, but this was the 80s maaaan.

I'm referring to how he perfectly timed the laxatives, the truck leaving, and Satoru seeing it leave right after losing track of the girl.

He knows when the truck arrives since he ordered the lunches. After that, there's no timing at all since after he gives the laxatives to the girl, she'll be stuck in the washroom for a long time. He only needs to wait until the truck is about to leave before showing up and tricking Satoru who is waiting outside the washroom.

If this were an American serial-killer show, they'd be going on and on about the method of murder and victim selection and how it reflects on some trauma the killer suffered. He definitely seems to have a predilection for killing children through exposure to cold... throwing the car into a freezing-cold lake in the middle, freezing Kayo to death with his atomizer, etc... I wonder what, if anything, that suggests. Also, given the temperature of the water, and how far away from anything resembling civilization this whole thing took place, isn't Satoru pretty well hosed, even should he manage to escape the seat belt, find something to break the window of the car, get out of the car, and swim in the right direction to reach the surface?
