Especially one that doesn't mind that an atrocity will fulfill some crazy bitch's personal vendetta.

That Droopy-san is the villain should not come as a surprise to anyone. Now;

Spoiler:

it is clear why Irie dies. Given his utter shock at Tomitake's death, his ignorance of Droopy's scheming and his research, all this must scare him into perhaps leaking details of the disease or somehow trying to stop the Yamainu.

So, either in retaliation or as a preemptive measure, they'll poison him and make it look like a suicide.

I don't think this is earth-shaking, but back-track a little bit: Did anyone notice that

Spoiler:

The doctor that pronounced Satoko dead in ep. 5 of this season is the same one that pronounced Irie dead in ep. 13 of the previous season?

The plot thickens!

That is possible and in my opinion. Hahaha I should try and find those episodes as quickly as possible.

Hahaha, someone needs to do a cross over of Motoko from GITS and Takano. That would be pretty interesting.

that the syndrome itself become harmless proteins or just plain disappears after the death of its host. I think that was the reason it was developed into a biological weapon, what better weapon that one which removes any trace of its existence after the person scratches his/her throat out?

That theory is possible, and that thought has been in my head for a while since season 1. (When Keichii was injected by the syringe by Rena and Mion with a few moments later he dies in a phone booth with his neck slitted by his nails. That's how the event happened from Keichii's point of view). In season one after Keichii dies in the phone booth, they stated that there was no traces of injection of some sort and the message in the bed room clock (where Rena and Mion were killed by Keichii again from what see were shown). He wrote down that he was injected with something and yet there were no evidence he was injected with something.


With that I can't wait for the final arc to happen. I think there will be a few original "extra arcs" after this (one example of the "extra arcs" has Rika as the main character and she is the "villian").
