Talks to his daughter, she thinks he might be interested in her, in how she’s doing at school, but all he cares for is information relating to the investigation, the one he’s not allowed to partake in. It looks like he’s thrown to the wolves, but they’re trying to make it so he couldn’t get in more trouble.ġ) Yeah, what a workaholic.

Yes, Shibazaki is acting true to his nature, following his own code rather than the demands of his superiors.Īnd it’s also interesting what he’s told there, his “angry boss”, who took his badge? He was still protecting him from being outright fired. Compartmentalization, but exactly what the bigwigs wanted in order to cover their asses. Rather than use the detective who saw the opponents, they’re making doubly sure to remove him.ģ) It’s interesting Shibazaki goes off to the bigwig who pulled him from the archives after this, who’s higher up than the one who just got his badge. Shibazaki’s final act here wasn’t random either, in front of witnesses, he tells his boss that Sphinx are innocent, so this is clearly cover-up, not just the situation thus far, but the situation from here on out. Even the final tiff, and the demand for the badge, came after Shibazaki once more went against the “Accepted Narrative”, where the police is the force for good, and Sphinx are simply terrorists.
But notice, the real issue here isn’t with what Shibazaki had done, but that he’s disobeying orders. It wouldn’t surprise me if the trouble will appear through it.Ģ) “You’re off the force, indefinitely.” – “Isn’t that essentially firing him?” – Or until the FBI goes away. Also, Lisa sleeping next to her phone, the tool that keeps her tethered, but also lonely. That first scene after the OP, we see everything appearing as if it’s calm, but we know Five knows who Lisa is, and we’ve already seen her predict Nine and Twelve’s movements, so it’s a fragile sort of peace, about to be disrupted.
This can be Five and the other kids due to not being “entirely human”, or Lisa, who will finally become one of the group. So, we have a lowly commoner and we transform her to appear as royalty, we take a mannequin and make a person out of it. However, in Greek tragedies (Ala Oedipus’s story), the choice of being true to your rules (Law of the Gods) or the dry law (Law of the People), is one that you don’t make, but follow your nature and your preordained choice, and pay the price.ġ) “My Fair Lady”, what an interesting episode title, a reference to the classic story of Pygmalion, another Greek figure. The game between Five and Sphinx is only starting, now that we see Five will stop at nothing, and Shibazaki once again disobeyed orders in order to do what is right. It was enjoyable, but now it’s time to see how people pay.

Last episode was “Seat of our pants” thriller, with non-stop music that kept things racing, and a sort of “Bizarro-world” plot, where the “good cops” have to join forces with the terrorists to stop an airplane from exploding on a terminal full of people, and a Die Hard 2 rescue scene for Lisa. Last week was rough, no Zankyou no Terror, no Barakamon, but here we go again.
