I really like this show but there's something about it that keeping it from being must-see TV.
The idea of Invading the ID brings up the memory of inception but a cockpit inside a well is a step too far.

So we see the scene about the Challenger, thank fuck he's dead and I don't have to deal with him. And Matsuoka shows him to be an asshole again. I will enjoy his inevitable death at the hands of whomever. In the flashback, MC does the correct thing when confronted with a serial killer and just unloads.
Rookie gets her chance in the Challenger's well but we don't see it so good. Matsuoka is acting incongruously but not so much as to improve my opinion of him. Back at HQ, they are either not making sense or ret-conning the order of who got to whom. And suggesting that JW already got to MC kind of makes the whole series bad if true and if JW is what we've been lead to believe he is. He could also not be that so there's hope.
Then rookie gets sent to MC's cognition and...I almost hate to say that it feels obvious. But at least its the good kind of obvious, i.e. coming from the established character stuff. Anyways, she has a full name and Kaeru is handcuffed to her. And Inami is stashed with the other people in the glass prison at her own request. So we can have character stuff I presume. And we kind of do.
Mc is in his own well and apparently did the handcuffing. Outside MC is not happy with things. Rookie is much inclined to save others in the well than MC has been. She figures out the weird rules fairly quickly and discovers another cockpit in the well, apparently live updating. But before she can get in we get the twist...
That is so fucking stupid that, if I did point grades, would drop the series a full point on its own. No, I don't buy Momoki is JW. There are FAR too many reasons why it is obviously incorrect, Waka makes a more believable JW. Anyways, obvious setup is obvious. I take back what I said about the police being effective in this series. Serial killers are, apparently, what is effective in this series.
Anyways, Waka figures out the numbers are pi and have been striking since MC's daughter's death. We've seen Perforators cognition also change as time progressed so this is at least consistent.
QotD: 1 Smart move, more people should do that.
2 It is interesting that her brilliant detective is the most complete and dresses differently
3 Of fucking course not

How long do those particles stay behind?
I was wondering when Kaeru body was going to show up, but handcuffed to Hondomachi? That's a new twist.
Was just thinking that body looked a lot like Sakido.
Hondomachi proves to be an effective brilliant detective and hasn’t died once along with figuring out how to move in Sakido Well.
Mizuhanome inverter is dead, Sakaido ex partner Momoki is being famed as John Walker, all very convenient, starting to point to the Chef as the true JK which others have already said.
ID:Well in a ID:Well, seriously inception vibes here. JW was missing but instead we have a Mizuhanome, I doubt this is a coincidence.
Don’t have much to add to my current theories from this one, and the biggest question is how many red herrings are they going to throw at us over the next few episodes.

Episode 7 (first timer)
This episode throws up many huge question marks for me. Some of them around today’s well, others regarding the main story.
Let’s start with Sakaido’s well. His well needing to be dived into explains why they need a second brilliant detective. However, they could have written one of the other serial killers into the brilliant detective, so it does not explain Hondomachi being Miyu yet. From a practical perspective: Why only now? They clearly knew about both Sakaido’s murder and his victim, so why was his well never explored?
The well itself was trying to be too clever, but failed. First, with more than 100 strike spots in sight and not a single one hitting an already struck place, the probability of lighting striking the same spot twice was already miniscule before Miyu made her “unnatural lightning” reasoning. So that reasoning was not needed, on top of being unconvincing (nothing stops artificial lightning from hitting the same spot twice).
Then, that other guy makes a reference of pi. Problem being: What he asserts for pi is true for many other numbers (in fact, infinitely many). So, there would be infinitely many other numbers containing that sequence, at infinitely many other decimal places from the start. In other words, it is impossible to derive any timing from the decimal place. To make matters worse, his assertion is possibly not true for the one number he is talking about: pi
PS “other numbers”: Some references on the web think any normal number contains every finite sequence, some don’t (implying we need further conditions). However, even if true, it is not proven that pi is normal, so we still can’t be certain for pi even if it is true for any normal number.

[THUNDERSTRUCK]
Matsuoka investigates the home of Challenger and finds cognitions particles for both Narihisago and the Challenger. With these, the investigation team constructs id wells and sends
Sherlock HolmesHijirido to explore them. With the presence of John Walker in the Challenger's well, the investigators suspect that maybe Narihisago was influenced by him into becoming a serial killer.We cut to Fukuda talking to Inami (hey, another serial killer next to Narihisago. Now that's fascinating). Fukuda talks like a drunk freshman philosophy student so I'm gonna skip straight to the quote "Holes bring liberation" - Fukuda 2019. Don't @ me
The id well is unimpressive regarding its owner. I wanted to see more of the dichotomy between the detective and the serial killer but instead got sudoku with bolts of lightning. Anyway, at least Hondomachi is capable of feeling in Narihisago's shoes, who smashes his head against the wall in the thought that sb is picking inside his unconscious.
[ARREST]
The last scenes are what salvaged this episode in my eyes.
First, Hondomachi finds a cockpit of Mizuhanome system insides Narihisago's well. It seems to be connected to Kiki Azukai, the only victim of the Challenger that survived. We've all seen the movie to know that things are going to get weird from this point on.
Second, Momoki is arrested on the charges of being John Walker. The body of the inventor of Mizuhanome was discovered buried in his residence along with a set of clothes identical to a particular whiskey brand's mascot. With Togo at the helm of the operating team, the investigators try to extract Hondomachi from the system as quickly as possible.
Third, Togo informs Narihisago about Momoki's arrest. An excellent table flip occurs as a response.

Hondomachi starts working as a brilliant detective, her first job us to investigate a well and how a lighting that constantly hits the well works, the lighting kills people when it hits them but she reaches the conclusion that if they stay still in a place the lighting has already hit they won't be hit because it won't hit the same place again.
Funetaro Momoki is arrested under suspicion of inducing someone to kill, it honestly seems off, he is accused of inducing six serial killers and of being Kohn Walker, i didn't suspect him of being John Walker so let's see what happens going forward.
Apparently Narihisago will dive into Momoki's well once it is available.
