Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Focus 03: Phobia Exposure ]

Though it would seem there was nothing new in this episode at first glance. We get some background info on Masayuki which shows us that he experienced a classmates suicide in the past. Since this involved the person jumping to their death from the school rooftop. I think, for now, it’s reasonable to think that Masayuki’s fear of heights stems from this event. He further indicated that he was “involved in a killing”. Now, I don’t think he meant he killed someone literally but perhaps he’s alluding to being responsible for the suicide? I’m not sure, given his reaction in the flashback, but he could have been a bully of sorts. Or he could have been a close friend to the person and felt that he didn’t do enough to help them in their time of need. I’m not sure which it could be, especially given his current “jackass” personality.

Next episode will have all three guys wandering around the hospital where Tarou and his sister were held in the past. I’m not sure what their aim or goal is aside from the supposed “phobia exposure” angle…but from the preview it looks like it’ll sure be interesting. Given that the guys seem to turn into aliens. @_@
