There’s only two more episodes to go and she’s been absolutely useless to the plot, although I can give her credit for bringing out that gentler side of Toji. I’m not sure I particularly like Five (and I still havent really figured her out yet), but Lisa was the character I was betting on to bring a more interesting dimension to the show. With her and Five as the only prominent female characters in the show, its…depressing, to be honest. She literally just got rescued from an exploding plane in the last episode and SHE IS ALREADY IN TROUBLE AGAIN WITH TOJI OFF TO RESCUE HER. I tried not to be too annoyed about this before but seriously, all Lisa does is get into trouble. Suddenly, she’s the clumsy moe girl who can’t cook. Her bullying situation and home-life had a lot more promise…yet as soon as she ‘joins’ Sphinx, there’s a notable deterioration in her character. For the first few episodes she had the makings of an interesting character – she was the one I was most concerned about. On the other hand though, I can’t help being incredibly disappointed in Lisa. I was also glad to see that him doing some actual detective work and getting to the core of the show’s main mystery instead of making weird logic leaps with silly riddles. He even has blackmail at his fingertips to enlist the help of a ‘hacker’. It’s also interesting to see how him being discharged is actually working in his favour – he no longer has to abide by the police’s rules, and his approach has definitely become more ruthless. I know I already said that I’m growing tired of the trope where ‘police are useless and Cool Detective rebels against them’, but I think the show has been handling it well, and it really helps that Shibazaki isn’t exactly acting alone. I really do like Shibazaki, so I was cheering for him a lot in this episode. I’m really confused how she was able to get that middle shot, unless it’s a camera with a zoom. Apparently Shibazaki is also relatively short, or that other guy is relatively tall. Further research turns up some kind of top secret experiment known as ‘The Athena Project’ in which orphans were tested and the ‘gifted’ ones were taken away somewhere, seven years ago. Meanwhile, Shibazaki’s independent investigation is bearing fruit he discovers that all of the bombing locations have the common thread of having connections to participants in a seminar by the ‘Rising Peace Academy’. Upset and not wanting to get in the way any further, Lisa runs away…and is found and kidnapped by Five’s men.

Whilst Lisa escapes the blast and the three move to a new hideout in an abandoned arcade, Arata is angry again at how much trouble she’s been causing them recently. Having conveniently picked up Lisa’s dropped student card, Five is able to locate Sphinx’s hideout and mails a bomb there. However, if anyone thought this would stop him from investigating, they clearly haven’t been watching the same show. Unfortunately, he and his men face harsh discipline for their independent actions during the incident, with Shibazaki’s punishment being the loss of his badge. The media is blaming the explosion on Sphinx and Shibazaki is the only one who knows for sure that they weren’t the culprits. The airport incident might be over, but its effects are lasting.
