From now on parasites will only infect bald people. Or they could morph away their hair and wear wigs.

I was sure they were going to acknowledge that people who just had a limb taken are still human, but able to identify other parasites, and could potentially be recruited to cooperate with the authorities. But maybe the non brain occupying parasites are unknown to them?

I do have to say the whole "don't tell them we're a weird alien hybrid or they will dissect you" is actually an interesting one from a basic story telling standpoint. That is, most problems in stories could be handled by better communication (it's frustrating how recurring this is), but this problem stems from communication at all, making it a problem that cannot have an easy answer. That said, there probably is an optimal method that Migi and Izumi could come up with to start communications with the government in a way that gives them an effective bargaining positioning, but it's probably too risky and there's no way it could work if Migi isn't up for it.

Too bad that parasites lead solitary lives and they have no one to pluck their hair. Still, it was a smart plan. Oh well.

It would have worked pretty well on our most recent monster-of-the-week - at the very least, it would probably have acted as a deterrent against establishing oneself in a public space that would have saved a dozen or so schoolkids' lives.

They'll go for your eyebrows or nose hairs apparently. My thing is, why didn't the girl tell her brother that paint-thinner fucks up a parasyte's cells? I'd be spraying everybody if I knew that secret.

Apparently she isn't too badly hurt, but she may well be hunched in a corner PTSD-ing out or something. I mean, she's got plenty of reason, not least 'holy poo poo I just triggered a school massacre'.

Parasytes still have human bodies and can't necessarily dodge bullets.

But maybe the non brain occupying parasites are unknown to them? That has to be it. People whose brains weren't taken, like Izumi, would have first withdrawn from society in an attempt to hide their... affliction, and later would have developed enough of a relationship with the parasite to make sure it doesn't draw attention or go on killing sprees while the human "guide" helps them navigate human society. The ones that eat the brains get rid of the body's human element entirely, and so are much more likely to stand out in human society... though mostly it's because they're more likely to just murder poo poo when they feel its necessary.

In the case of Shinichi and the other pair, I guess it's more like Symbiyte -the maxim-.

Four words, Shinichi. You could seriously solve most of your current issues with Murano with four choice words about your mother.  Does everybody already know? Are they keeping it a secret for some reason? It seems like a pretty big deal.

I guess his mother is officially missing and presumed alive, but saying that would still be enough to explain his change really.

I agree that him mentioning 'oh yeah, mom's gone' would sort out a lot of his relationship problems. At the same time, given that he's been trapped in a hell of paranoia and fear for months, I can also see why a traumatized teenager might not be willing to share that. Also, Kung Powasyte looks to be a pretty serious threat, possibly developed specifically to fight merged creatures like Shinichi. I'm assuming that he's some sort of chimera of three or more parasytes in a single host. There does seem to be a real escalation of the Parasyte threat with this new government experiment, and I'm fully on board with this.

Idek who stands around a dead person and then decide to chase down the bloody man who leaves the nearby building? It's getting difficult to suspend my sense of disbelief when I have random citizens doing crazy things. Most people who see a crime in progress tend to go in the other direction because survival instinct and all. Also, Shinichi really had no friends ever huh? At least he as one now even if Migi's advice is terrible. I'm puzzled as why would that be comforting on any level for her nightmares? I like the flowery fields.

Kana being a weird goon to Shinichi and dreaming about him ultra-buff atop a white horse saving her was the funniest poo poo. I love how low-key the comedy in this is. I await fanart of Hokuto no Shin.
