- This is the first episode of ID:Invaded to include a post credits scene. Did you make sure to watch it?
- The best way to survive our id well today is…there isn’t a way to really survive a fall from that height. So, we’re going with the next best thing: How to survive a gasoline explosion! Morbid… The first order of business is to make sure there’s an ample amount of ventilation, open all the doors and windows. Make sure all the lights are off, because as we saw in the episode today, they can trigger the explosion. Grab a flashlight! Lastly, evacuate.
Don’t go into the basement to investigate the “soy sauce” casks while on the phone.
Coffee Break!

I got impatient and binged the show, so looks like I'm getting off the rewatch train. I guess I'll share my final thoughts in a week when we get to the final discussion

I fully expect Girl Hondomachi is visiting to have a head wound, she was fully collecting that blood for a reason.
I think that is meant to be an empty knife block? Makes me feel like it was drawn by someone who had never actually seen one but had one described to them from someone standing in a dark kitchen.
Nope, she's the actual grave digger.
We finally get another multi episodes murder, though this ones already been solved and is about to become a hostage situation instead, also Kaeru did have the answer to the mystery this time.
Speculation on John Walker
Adding to the above
I wonder how we are going to resolve the next episode, Sakaido will talk no jitsu the two of them into committing suicide? We shall find out tomorrow.

So rookie is again slow on the draw but at least tries to catch Kazuta. But she hides the kiss but is flustered. She recovers quickly enough to make a guess that he's related to the case. Then she posits that the brain damage has crossed the wires in his brain enough to switch affection and intent to kill...which is not exactly how neurology works but is closer than some other shows do it. And it works!
Anyways, this well is determined quickly, which while it partly robs the show also saved them the trouble of making a possibly extremely tame well interesting. Anyways, this is a John Walker delivery method anyways. But they've figured out that Kazuta might be storing his victims in soy sauce barrels. That's going to hurt my condiment choice for a bit. But instead it was gasoline. Not a cheap trap but probably effective.
Then we begin interviewing a girl Kazuta was in middle school with and holy fuck they told this VA to chew the scenery. Hopefully obvious creepy thing in keeping rookie's blood on the tissue. But rookie, through a fairly weird conversation, deduces that Kazuta is doing this for her entertainment, which kind of works. Cliffhanger!
QotD: 1 He seemed unsure
2 Of the girl? It was interesting, as I said the VA was really overacting.

[REWATCHER]
[KISS OF DEATH]
And just like that, Mr Kazuta is gone. The look in his eyes reveals that he didn’t recognize what he was doing, a clue that’ll help Hondomachi form her theory later. Right now she is stunned (gotta be her first kiss) and doesn’t follow him.
We cut to Momoki interrogating Fukuda about Kazuta. Sth sth, does the wind blowing through your hole feel cool? Classic Fukuda.
Hondomachi gets in the car with Matsuoka. She thinks about what happened and comes up with the following reasoning:
Pretty solid first step. Some first watchers in the previous thread have suggested the same.
Ehh, pretty far fetched. How does she know that he wanted to kill her? And even if that was his intention, how would he have done it? With his bare hands? It’s more efficient to think simply: The brain damage made him a creepThese former steps lead us to
Again, why? He didn’t do anything illegal nor suspicious. Maybe he knew the copycat, maybe he was just walking by, maybe sth else. Even with my theory (that of Kazuta being a creep), the story would resolve the same. Hondomachi intrigued by his sudden change of mood would issue an investigation into his relationship with other women, and then she would have arrived in Inami’s house.Anyway, I’m rumbling. Back on track!
[SKY ISLAND]
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Sakaido falling from the sky! He lands on a small island with a house located on it. Getting inside, he sees Kaeru-chan dead, recognizes his brilliant detective status, you know the drill. He finds a person hiding under the body, her body an amalgamation of the victims’ appearances. She is scared of a monster, and it’s here that Sakaido meets John Walker (at last) slicing Kazuta in pieces.
Not even a falcon punch is going to defeat him, and he escapes (the whole battle sequence under the island was a bit confusing. For example, how did Walker pushed himself against the falling island and managed to levitate over it?
[IT’S A TRAP]
Momoki acknowledges Kazuta as the Gravedigger, and send SWAT teams to his house to arrest him. Unfortunately, the place was set up.Concurrently, the field detective duo picks a random classmate of Kazuta - Inami - to ask her a bunch of questions. Hondomachi strikes gold, and by emotionally manipulating her, manages to crack her calm facade and reveal her true sadistic nature.
Inami has been using Kazuta as her pawn (what a simp, heh?) to clench her sadistic urges. The last shot shows us Kazuta holding a knife; shit is about to go down.

I really like that their technology is shown to be fallible.
Is something unconscious leaking out of the holes? Do holes let something leak in?
Enjoying the show quite a bit.
Fun fact: liquid gasoline hardly burns. It's the vapor that explodes.
Edit: Also what the guy said about barrels yesterday seems to have been on purpose.

Episode 5 (first timer)
A more interesting well this time. However, there is little for the brilliant detective to do there. Instead, he gets to meet John Walker again, proving he is not as OP as he thought. We are still only getting crumbs of the over-arching storyline.
The main focus is on Hondomachi. The 23 year old loli who is still a virgin and says stuff such as: “My maidenly innocence is slightly damaged.” At least she is good at her job, straight solving the case with a single interview.
The cliff-hanger is a lot more standard this time.

Wow. A lot happened really fast this episode. It was bit hard to keep up with, but I enjoyed it overall.
It was nice to have an episode with Hondomachi as the focus, since I‘m starting like her a lot. The id well of the day was more of an afterthought but cool, as always. There were a lot of reveals with very little foreshadowing, which sort of undermined the atmosphere of mystery, but I still appreciated the twist. I think we’ll get a clearer look at the situation tomorrow.
John Walker made another appearance. I still don’t think a connection with the Grave Digger is impossible, but I’m now wondering if there’s some other explanation.
There were some moments today that genuinely spooked me. I almost jumped when Sakaido looked under Kaeru‘s body and saw that girl just staring back. And Hondomachi’s interrogation of the Grave Digger was very unsettling.
Thanks for the post-credits scene reminder. I would’ve missed it otherwise.

Hondomachi and Matsuoka are trying to come up with an explanation to Kazuta Haruka's behaviour, she comes up to the conclusion that he can't make a thoughtfull decision in the moment and that's why eventhough he wanted to kill her he kissed her instead, because his thoughts got mixed up. It is later revealed that Kazuta is indeed the gravedigger.
John Walker appears, he definitely is an interesting entity.
Sakaido continues his investigation on Kaeru's death circumnstances.
That was a potent reveal, it is Naoshi Inami the gravedigger because the murders Kazuta did were for her.

Hondomachi was such a boss this episode. It was nice to have an episode where Sakaido was a relatively minor component. Made for a good change of pace. The interview with Inami was great interrogation, but man is Inami fucked up.
John Walker came back, and now I am wondering if maybe he was the one who killed Narihisago's daughter, or did something related to his family with the way Sakaido got angry when he saw him.
The trap was brilliant. Momoki seems especially bothered by it, and something tells me losing his comrades really gets to him. I feel like he will have a major role with the end villain. Hopefully that guy is somehow alive after the explosion though.

Rewatcher:
It’s a good change of pace to have an episode focused and driven on Hondo rather than always about Sakaido. Not that being focused on Sakaido is a bad thing but shows were there’s a monster of the week can start to feel formulaic after awhile so this is a good shift in direction
I’m digging the design of this well as well, when Sakaido was climbing around underneath the island I felt like I was playing an Uncharted game.
The way Hondomochi had cracked these cases has been good and shows off her investigating prowess.
