The edited version isn't too different, so I definitely did not "flub" that line, haha. :) I don't know if you know already, but "god" and "wolf" are pretty much interchangeable for this show. Before that Nemuru-looking person killed Issei, the translator had originally put "god" instead of "wolf". However, since we went with "wolf" a few episodes back, and since the term is interchangeable in the context, "god" was changed to "wolf". I think it was mentioned in the very first episode that their gods are incarnations of wolves or something like that. I hope this clears things up for you! :) .-= Aleks´s last blog ..<a href="http://metaleks.net/programming/the-evolution-of-a-python-programmer" rel="nofollow">The Evolution of a Python Programmer</a> =-.

Good point about the discovery during the day. These guys clearly are night owls. @Shinmaru, blindability: Was I the only one who thought Nemuru and the wolf killer were the same? I started believing it, because I thought everyone else started believing it (hooray for groupthink!). I could definitely be wrong. I haven't done too much thinking about whether or not Nemuru is the executioner, so it might just be a sloppy assumption on my part. @blindability: Ah, yes.

Formula subbed that line as ''Tsumuhana Issei has been judged by the godlike people.'' which in the context seems to make more sense to me.

I wonder what happens to humans when they're kissed, as it says they're no longer the same. Do they become wolves too? Seems like too easy an answer though. I feel a little bad for Issei, as he makes sure that his sister has enough medication, even at the cost of his life. The offering to the deceased wolves and the mention that he was now a god was interesting. .-= Janette´s last blog ..<a href="http://jedko.wordpress.com/2010/02/07/shameless-shipping-day-7-mion-x-keiichi/" rel="nofollow">Shameless Shipping Day 7: Mion x Keiichi</a> =-.

You make me laugh. The eyes were creepy though; much worse than the glowing red eyes. I noticed that Mieko (Pharma Guy's former lover) 's murder was different too with the evidence left behind, plus it was daytime when Sakaki found her body which means that either the pack had killed her during the day - unusual to their current pattern - or it was indeed another killer. But why does everyone think that the Leader of the Hunt Pack is Nemuru? I really, really don't think it is... But watch me be proved wrong in the next episode, haha. .-= blindability´s last blog ..<a href="http://brianandrew.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/ookami-kakushi-episode-five/" rel="nofollow">ookami kakushi episode five</a> =-. “But once you’ve got the reptilian eyes, you know it’s over.”

Interesting. That's a possibility I had not given much thought to. Hm, so do you believe Nemuru and the wolf killer are the same person? Interesting.

Is it a status issue? Is residence in the old town seen as a punishment for infected families? Or are they just all assholes down there? I suppose they’re trying to keep up some hope during rough times, but it really does seem as if they give up on Issei rather easily. Life kind of really sucks in this town. Due to the nature of the disease, though, I gather that they cannot venture too far out of the town’s borders, so they’re kind of screwed in that way, as well.
