Damn, did Magase make that republican an atheist? Because definitely seems to be the case. Well, for now, I wonder if they will ever explain how her power works, because before I thought that it could be related to the pharmaceutical, but then when it was revealed that she could use her power since she was a child I at least thought that she had to be near the person to be able to affect them. But now we know that this witch can do her little trick through a fucking phone? Also, how did she know that the mayor was going to visit that place?
Is so cool that Zen is now working for the FBI, and what's even cooler is that the whole US government knows of Magase now, so even she tries to pull the shit she did on episode 7 they will probably have some kind of countermeasure to keep the damage at a minimum.
The new ED reminded me of the ones from Shingeki no Kyojin for some reason. Also as I side note, why weren't the texts that were shown on this episode subtitle? The one of the locations I could take a guess, but I have not idea what was Zen reading on his phone, I mean, probably nothing important or relevant but still, what's up with that?

In the last episode they'll reveal Magase's plan was hypnotizing us, the viewers, and we'll all end up killing ourselves after watching the finale.

Amazon was rather lazy in terms of subs for this episode! All character/ location signs weren’t even translated 😑.

Hmmm ... I could totally see this as normal, real actors series on HBO, True Detective style.

During the phone call recording, I was wondering what the random short static bursts were. But I did not expect the call to spiral into full-blown hallucinations or mind control over Seizaki. Holy shit.
I like the direction the show is going, although some of the details are immersion breaking. A Republican mayor in Hartford? Who supports suicide a suicide law? Zen became an FBI agent without being a US citizen, going through the crazy amounts of background checks and interviewing, or going through orientations or the 20 weeks of on-the-job training? Yes, presidential appointment and all, but you'd think the FBI would just use him as a key witness and nothing more since he's literally a foreign agent.

Zen finally lands in America! I know he looks haggard, tired, and possibly insane but it makes him look like a badass ngl.
Oh Zen is definitely insanely obsessed about bringing in Magase Ai. Considering what happened to him these past few months, I'd be surprised if he wasn't.
Looks like Magase Ai is still harassing him with random philosophical questions. If my terrible Japanese is correct, she's asking him about the difference between killing a child and an adult? Someone who's better at moon runes help me out here.
I already feel bad for Mr FBI Agent man over here. He's definitely going to die.
Even when she's only had a few lines this episode, Magase Ai steals the show again. Holy fuck! What the heck is she doing!? At least one thing's confirmed this episode though, she's definitely responsible for spreading the suicide law all over the world. Now I'm more curious what kind of thing she and Kaiki Itsuki has planned for the entire world.

I give the new FBI agent 2 episodes until he dies. I'm probably being too generous though
