Parasyte Episode 18: Back under suspicion

Tamura Reiko’s death ended up being kinda dull in my mind…maybe death by gun just has that effect on me. However, it seems that it was enough for Shinichi to get back in touch with his lost emotions. I guess that means that Satomi is finally back together with him. I’m still really annoyed that she doesn’t know his secret yet, though. There was one thing Reiko said before dying, though, that has me curious. She mentioned that the parasites and humans are two parts of a whole and parasites are children of humans. I’ve had a nagging suspicion for a while that the parasites are born from a science experiment because of the synchronized timing of their appearance. Could this finally be my proof?

I see the detectives have brought in an expert to take a look at Shinichi. Presumably, this criminal is similar to Kana, a human that can detect the parasites for some reason (I really wish they would explain how). Given how easily Kana was always able to detect Shinichi, this guy should also have no problem. It looks like next week, we’ll have to see just how much the criminal can see. If he still detects Shinichi’s humanity somehow, he may totally rat him out.
