Not as strong as the first episode to be honest, but still good enough to keep my interest. The next morning, a figure from Aoba’s past pays him a visit at the shop… Koujaku, a gang leader of sorts himself, has members who are partaking in the Rhyme games, but they let them do it on their own will. Mizuki isn’t a huge fan of the Rhyme players because they don’t care about territory boundaries. He is not the one who trapped him in Rhyme though.Įlsewhere, Koujaku pays a visit to Mizuki. Clear is also the one that brought them back to the junk shop yesterday. This is Clear, and Aoba is his master apparently. The next day at the shop Aoba and Ren think more about what the heck is going on – wait – does that computer at the shop have a floppy disk drive? O_O Most of you probably don’t even know what the hell that is >_< Anyways, our man in the gas mask turns up again, literally falling into the scene. They randomly attack people, sometimes killing them in the process. He informs Aoba of people who can start Rhyme games without the need of Usui (the Shiva looking gal). Aoba tells him about the Rhyme trap, which troubles Koujaku. 😕 Koujaku and Aoba then proceed to act like a gay couple instead of – oh, I get it. Apparently when people touch Aoba’s hair it hurts him. More exposition, which is Koujaku’s main role so far. His friend Koujaku visits the next morning and decides to stay for the day. He currently takes medication because of it.

We get a glimpse into his past, as an “accident” put him in the hospital and caused him to have fuzzy memories. Toue is probably an evil character – he’s wearing a monocle!Īoba’s grandma Tae, a retired doctor, orders him to bed after he is sent home from work. Both he and the top hat wearing figure beside him will probably be more important later. From afar, a government official (I think?) named Toue is shown the battle footage. To make matters worst, Aoba has a continuous headache. Neither one can remember the fight completely. Aoba eventually wins the battle, waking up to find the man in the gas mask standing above him, uttering “Master.”Īfter losing consciousness, Ren and Aoba find themselves back at the junk shop. His rabbit-head opponent seems to know about his past, and has an expectation for his battle capabilities.

The Rhyme battle is a close one due to Aoba constantly switching back and forth between personalities. Unfortunately, Aoba has never played in a Rhyme match before – or has he? Once inside the game he seems to trigger an alternate personality… During an errand, an unseen assailant drags Aoba into a Rhyme match. Players have been randomly disappearing after getting too far into the game. DRAMAtical Murder Episode 2 Review – “Crack”Īoba was warned about the online game Rhyme.
