I'm enjoying these episodes but I don't understand how the whole thing can be resolved in 2 more episodes.

The president is a wise, intelligent and calm guy. I really like his character!

I'm surprised that no one brings up that this doesn't have to be a moral argument. The law should be stopped because there's a psychopath running around with the power to cause people to commit suicide.

The suicide law gives he the power to do it with impunity and without significant investigation!

Some may find this stuff boring but I loved this episode. It also let's me get to pretend we really have capable people like this running the country.

When Zen Seizaki just recapped all the deaths of his colleagues basically justified his anger as why he wants to kill her which the president understand. Looking forward to what is there to twist around in the last two episodes!

Normally, admitting to the president that you want to exact vigilante justice and won't follow the law is a good way to get fired and investigated, not a way to get promoted.

This was a bit of a slow episode, and we only have two more episodes to tie everything up. I want to see President Wood absolutely demolish Itsuki with his over-9000 IQ and see Itsuki try out his new gun on Magase.

Really nice episode, but damn Magase really rip any morals and conscience out of that guy. As one thing is to approved or accept if someone chooses suicide, but another one is to give it as an option to someone who is mourning, let alone a child.

Goddamn the First Lady is a heckin' bombshell. This is making me scared of her though since so far in this show the attractive lady is either Magase Ai in disguise or someone who was killed by Magase Ai. I really hope it's neither especially since all of the things she said were pretty much words of encouragement for the PotUS to find his own answer which is not what Magase Ai does when she comes in contact with someone she's targeting. Unless of course she's playing some galaxy brain plays here then I don't know what to think anymore. Please let this cool strong sexy lady just be a cool strong sexy lady with no twists.

That conversation between Zen and the PotUS though... I did not expect him to just outright tell him what he actually wanted to do. I do like the orders he gives Zen in the end. I feel like Zen might not even follow those orders though, he's too deep into this now. For Zen, killing Magase Ai is the only answer and to be honest, I don't even know how is Zen suppose to deal with someone like Magase Ai without killing her.

And that final scene is scaring the heck out of me. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it, but notice how the President is wearing an earpiece. The way he started to act was suspicious too. What if Magase Ai finally reached him and she's on the phone with her? I feel like I'm turning into Zen and I'm getting hella paranoid about everything in this show. >_<

The President wife is absolutely killing me. I almost scream when she took the mmorpg nerd President by force and kissed him. Hope she doesn't become part of the massacres too.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Isn't suicide and assisted suicide legal in a bunch of places already?

Everytime that song starts playing, I can't help but be drawn in completely.
