[renwatchesanime]

So I just watched Episode 7 of Balance Unlimited and I have some thoughts (tm)

(I didn’t do this for last week rip)

So we start off this episode with a flashback - how iconic - and, hold on, is that Nakamoto Chosuke? Damn he looks young.

And oop. Murder. Love that for us.

SAYURI KAMBE. OH HO HO. THE PLOT THICKENS.

(Note: this the ONE time I’m skipping the opening because you can’t just introduce that bombshell then leave).

Again with Shigemaru Kambe.

I don’t know about yall, but Kikuko Kambe (the grandmother) is sketchy as FUCK. But like, she hasn’t aged a bit in twenty odd years? Drop the skin care routine sis.

Eh, Cho-san, I’m not really familiar with the Japanese legal system or whatever, but I’m pretty sure you can’t just take someone things without a warrant.

(But like, thinking about it, Daisuke did the same thing in the previous episode when he went through that lady’s laptop. Must be a detective thing)

Oh, Nakamoto is hard to work with? Interesting.

OKAY SO I NORMALLY DONT ADD PHOTOS TO THESE THINGS BUT IS THAT A LITTLE DAISUKE KAMBE??? AHHHH

(Nice to know that he has been dead inside from childhood.)

Dirty cops dirty cops dirty cops dirty cops dir-

And I was right! Stolen evidence has no value in court of law as evidence! Thank you How to Get Away With Murder.

Ah. More death. I feel bad for Daisuke though.

Hey. I get that you’re sad and all but. That was a perfectly good watermelon popsicle. Why you gotta waste food like that?

We’re in the present again and HOLY FUCK NAKAMOTO IS SHORT.

Guys the quote for this episode is ‘Money is the root of all evil’.

Daisuke Kambe really said ‘yeah I took control over a woman’s car and made her believe that she had killed a man what of it?’

Did Haru just. Run into a gate. With his car. Oh God. Watch it, your boyfriend’s reckless driving is influencing you.

First rule of investigating kids: just because someone could doesn’t mean they would. It’s all about the motive baby.

Yo my guy is proper hallucinating wtf.

Hold up hold up. It was all a simulation? Damn Kambe.

Nah when Nakamoto hit us with that “Were you able to become a father who you could be proud of?’ I felt that.

Final thoughts:

So we all pretty much called Daisuke not being involved in the murder of Imura. It was a pleasant surprise seeing that Haru also shared this sentiment (the absolute trust they have in each other agh). Moreover we finally found out what happened to the older Kambes, although I am very sceptical as to whether Shigemaru was really a suicide. Seems a bit convenient, don’t you think?

To end this, let’s take a look at the costs for this episode (translated with the help of Google Translate):

[andromedomaii]

ok, so... fkbu ep 7, huh... well, shit certainly did escalate quickly lol. and now i feel so invested in this anime that i’m seriously compelled to write down my thoughts and theories. beware the spoilers below. let’s fucking go

so apparently, takei was the one who hid/destroyed/delivered the locker key evidence 19 years ago and he’s the one who got rid of imura now. i gotta say, that came as a total surprise to me, ngl. plus, it seems that daisuke somehow has some evidence to connect him with these two cases, something solid enough to go after the man, making him (and me as well) think that he’s dead smh

i think the initial reason for takei’s misdeeds in the case from 19 years ago was about takei wanting to rise up in the force

 the director was most likely taking orders from someone else as well, as indicated several times through the episode, and takei wanted to get the clout too. so he was probably the director’s puppet instead of being directly involved with someone higher

and when he followed the director’s order, he was promoted while both cho-san and kiyomizu were demoted, even though, as kiyomizu says, there was no reason for him to be demoted with cho-san

in his artificially induced vision, at the part about the locker key, we see that takei knows where the locker that the key would open is, but he is incredibly scared to open it or look inside. so my take on this is that takei was threatened to be killed if he looked inside, and he either never saw what was actually in the locker or he did look inside the locker despite the threat and is scared of being killed because of that, judging by the overwhelmed reaction he gives

i’m not too sure whether or not takei knows who directly ordered that locker to stay un-investigated but when cho-san asks him if he knows who the person that would kill him is, he is straight up terrified so maybe he figured that out too and wants to keep quiet about that

after that, when imura tells him that she knows it’s takei who killed her, he denies, probably because he was technically indirectly involved with her death but the interesting thing at that scene is who he calls

the person he calls, the former director, is dead today, so logically, he wouldn’t be calling him to report the death of imura. i’m not too sure about this part too but the reason is probably that the former director was the reason takei was involved in this whole mess in the first place, so maybe he still blames him? idk.

btw, the director’s cause of death is a car accident, much like the death of shigemaru, and that feels somewhat fishy to me, so he was probably “taken care of” after he served his purpose

i think takei is still working for someone even after the case from 19 years ago, since he was ordered to take imura down and at this point, i feel like he’s being blackmailed into further cooperation to keep his status and protect his family. but i have to admit, after this episode, despite the justifications he may have, he’s certainly not my fave lol

the next point is about the deaths of sayuri and shigemaru

so, i’ve seen a lot of people say that shigemaru was the one who murdered sayuri but i really don’t think that’s the case

i think sayuri and shigemaru was working on this new chemical thing together and it was probably something that would benefit the kambe family in a financial sense but was also something that was dangerous for... idk the public, the environment? yeah.

people think that sayuri moved into a random flat to escape shigemaru but i think shigemaru was trying to protect her by keeping her away from the kambe family

shigemaru himself would be fine even if he refused to share the knowledge about this chemical thing since he was the eldest son of the family but sayuri probably wasn’t as safe as he was, so he distanced her from the rest of the family

i think both of them were killed because someone else within the family wanted to be the next heir of the family or wanted to rival the entire family (that is, if someone from the kambe family is connected with the mizuo future technologies stuff as a challenger) and went for their heads, killing sayuri, making it look like shigemaru killed her and then committed suicide, because that car accident feels fishy as fuck too ngl

at first i thought that maybe shigemaru faked his death to close the case because he was the one who killed sayuri, but if he was to be the next heir of the family, why wouldn’t he act to claim his place for 19 years? 

that’s why i think he’s truly dead 

from the photos we see, i truly don’t think shigemaru would want to kill sayuri. in the photos, both of them looked doting over tiny daisuke too, and shigemaru doesn’t feel like an absent or bad father/husband to me. idk, maybe i’m wrong

kikuko was probably helping them escape or stay hidden, so that’s why she was reluctant to disclose information. or, as some people have theorized, she’s the evil master mind and is still close to daisuke and suzue because they have no idea about who she really is

but tbh, throughout this episode, there was too much emphasis on the kambe family as a whole instead of just shigemaru or sayuri or even daisuke. so i think someone inside the family wanted daisuke’s parents dead to achieve whatever personal goal they have

which brings me to the final point

i think that first lady with the obscured face from the op with the jewelry and the nail job is another kambe but not suzue

the second lady we see near the end of the op is suzue, despite wearing different clothes and jewelry from the way we have seen suzue throughout the episodes so far

but the two ladies are still distinctively different from each other

because if they were the same lady, we wouldn’t get the second lady from the same angle and half unseen face but with a more realistic (and familiar) color palette while the first one’s colors still keep changing and still feels mysterious

plus, daisuke is standing behind the first lady, looking at her from the corner of his eyes while there are security laser beams at the background, so it’s either someone he’s aware and is wary of or someone he will meet later on who will be dangerous to him

and that’s why i think the first lady is connected with the kambe(s) who killed sayuri and shigemaru 19 years ago. she looks young, so she could be someone’s daughter and daisuke’s cousin

but if the two ladies really are the same person and that person is suzue, i feel like some back-stabbing and betraying stuff will happen and i really don’t wanna see that -- i genuinely like suzue, she’s best girl uwu.

[lee-etc]

well... IT MAKES SENSE NOW

So I've got a friend who watches fkbl with me and I'll often discuss it with her but just as I was reading over this I realised that Daisuke's opening monologue makes ✨perfect✨ sense if you know that that 'certain day' is probably the day of his mother's passing...

This show is hella good at foreshadowing and we shouldn't forget it

extra : the higher ups are to blame

#fugou keiji balance: unlimited #balance unlimited #chosuke #katsuhiro #fkbu #fkbu episode 7 #spoilers #i trusted him

[daiiharu]

let’s talk about how there’s so much going on in this police department that they’re more concerned with their higher ups than they are about closing their cases correctly

i mean- there’s only one way to interpret this and i’m fairly certain i won’t like the outcome

#hmm heres to corrupt police departments #really love that for us #fugou keiji balance: unlimited #kambe daisuke #katou haru #yukihiro kiyomizu #chosuke nakamoto #katsuhiro takei #episode 7 #ep 7 #fkbu #mine

[melsyells]

There are a lot of theories surrounding FKBU and it’s last three eps. Here are some additional and random questions I have:

EP: 1

Does Daisuke still have his AC Cobra? How did the prince drive after that?

How did Haru confront Daisuke on the roof? Another collar grab shout?

Has Yoko found a better partner?

EP: 2

How was Daisuke so keen on identifying the smell of drugs?

Did Haru take a bath?

How is the Kambe noodle brand doing?

What happened in Hong Kong?

EP. 3

What was wrong with Hatori’s clothing style?

Why did Haru show a surprised expression when he mentions his sister? The light shifted and camera focused on his face so it seemed important.

How has Haru been dealing with the trauma? Is he okay? :(

Also, can Daisuke answer peoples worries with words? Haru was telling him how he knew the kid was good and how he wanted to save him and Daisukes out there like - ok here’s a grappling hook and some smoke bombs let’s cut into the train and stop the kid

Does Daisuke have another outlet for his emotions besides speed acceleration?

Does Daisuke dislike Hoshino?

EP. 4

What did natto do to Daisuke?

What did dogs do to Daisuke?

Has Daisuke never been left alone before?

Why was everyone worried for this almost 30 year old man?

How long has Daisuke had HEUSC? It seems like it’s muscle memory and like he’s always been with his AI butler.

Why doesn’t Haru have bandaids.?

Is fancy ham good?

What’s Suzue’s favorite cat breed?

Does Daisuke realize he is short?

Does Haru’s family work in a culinary field?

Does Haru have any friends outside of his job? The time he woke up alone was really depressing.

Why was Daisuke asleep in the bathtub?

Did the boy realize that Shiro, was really Shiro 2.0?

Was the time when HEUSC made a joke the start of his character change? :(

EP.5

Was it necessary to kill the chef? I think this may have been a misunderstanding on my part but, I’m pretty sure all he did was make soup.

Daisuke’s reason for not wanting to accept the position as heir?

Does Sakei ever not have snacks?

Has Suzue’s opinion on cats changed after her accident?

If Haru didn’t open the door, what was Daisuke expecting? :((

EP.6

Is Imura’s son still relevant?

Who was the person Cho-san helped get a job for?

Daisuke does dislike Hoshino, but why? Of all the people you could’ve chosen in your holograms you go with plum boy look alike.

How did Suzue’s arm heal so fast?

Why are roof top confrontations so popular?

EP.7

Hoshino does not dislike Daisuke, will they be friends? Probably only in an au

How are any of them allowed to drive?

Does watermelon+ chocolate taste good?

How advanced is their VR?

EP.8

Ah, well this whole episode is a question itself.

Was the day of the incident the day everything changed for him as he mentioned in the ep. 1 narration? :(

How big is the Kambe mansion?

Did Suzue realize that they are earning twins? And also that if you can’t speak you can write.

Also why are they still using the computers and gadgets from their house if they are worried abou HEUSC spying on them?

How much can one person do with a knife? A lot apparently:(

How did Suzue get out alive?

Will Haru no longer trust in Daisuke?

What sign did Cho and Takei leave?

How will everyone respond to what occured?

OP & ED:

Suzue + knife? Defense or betrayal?

Haru + gun and Daisuke of the roof??

What’s the significance if the # 5? Used both in th ed and cho’s dice.

Whose the character that was running from the car and shoot a gun in the ed? Seems like they have yet to appear?

(if I have time later I’ll add some screencaps for more context)

#sorry for the long post cant do the keep reading thing on the app #fugou keiji balance: unlimited #fkbu #daisuke kambe #haru kato #my post #my text #also half of these are jokes i made admist procrastinating

[kannra21]

Isn’t Suzue Daisuke’s sister?

She is and she is not. You can be right and wrong, I can be right and wrong.

Personally, I think she's his fiancée/wife. I can be right and wrong.

But-

There's evidence-

1) In the OP song Suzue was featured lying on the hood of a car and Daisuke's silhouette kicked the camera, preventing us from looking at her exposed body. It's like he's trying to protect her innocence. Ofc this could also be Haru's silhouette but no. Here's the evidence-

This is clearly Daisuke's silhouette since his hair is slicked back and he also has a cut-out line on his jacket.

Haru doesn't have that.

2) Also OP song, the creators had left us so many clues I'm still surprised that no one payed attention to details.

In every picture Daisuke's sitting on the sofa and serving looks. He doesn't care about Modern Crime Investigation or First Division Investigation squad, he looks at the camera and smiles. The only odd pictures are with the grandma and Suzue. With grandma he's not smiling, probably bc his parents deceased when he was very young so grandma is the only family member left. And then we have him smiling again but not at the camera, he's smiling at Suzue this time. I mean, she's sitting on his lap and they're looking at each other smiling. It looks pretty romantic if you ask me.

3) Creators never called her his "sister", only a "woman". She's also not addressing him with "brother", she's calling him by his name. Only older sisters are supposed to call their younger siblings by their names without using honorifics. But younger siblings should call them "older sister" in return, that's how Japanese tradition works. But we never heard him using any honorifics for her yet.

Furthermore, in the latest tweets it has been confirmed that Suzue is younger than Daisuke. She's 25 and he's 27. Normal couple's age. She's not his older sister.

4) When he talked to Haru about his past he said "I had a father and I had a mother", he never mentioned having any siblings. + When they finally reached Suzue they never said that they were family-related. The only clue we have is their shared surname Kambe. She can be his sister or she can be his wife.

Sure I can't deny that they both have dark hair and that his eyes are bluish and her grayish, but hey it's not like these features are rare in Japan. Moreover, it's been scientifically proven that people choose their love interests that resemble either their family members or themselves. They look similar but on the other hand they don't look that much similar.

In her character sheet doesn't stand that she's his sister. It would be appropriate to write "the other heir of the Kambe fortune". Why are they making her so secretive? There's no point in hiding who she really is.

5) This picture-

So this post is from the official FKBU instagram account announcing the broadcasting of episode 2. What is that ring emoji doing there? At first I thought it might even be mistaken when you write the word ‘airing’, changing the last word into a ring. But the thing is, this was originally written in Japanese so that emoji was deliberately placed along with a picture of Suzue.

"Stay tuned" + ring? I'm waiting for the confirmation.

6) Many noticed that Daisuke and Suzue aren't wearing any rings.

The reason for this is probably because she’s working a lot with her hands, we saw her doing something in her workshop so she’s obviously putting it away. Daisuke probably doesn’t wear it in order to protect her, people who seek revenge usually choose to hurt the person through their loved ones so it just makes sense. Detective job is dangerous and it mustn't be taken so lightly.

This is the only time she wore rings. Maybe the shining one is there for a reason?

7) When she seduced Isezaki Daisuke didn't have a reaction. He insisted that they should tail Isezaki in order to find his drug dealer. This proves that Daisuke has trust in her and that there weren't any awkward moments between the pair because they knew that it was all for the mission. On the other hand, I don't think that he'd allow something like this to happen to his baby sister.

8) People speculated that Haru will leave the two at some point because he disappeared from the picture.

This will allow some room for further analysis and explanation of their relationship. This could be the moment where we'll get the actual reveal.

9) In the novel she was in love with him and he was oblivious of her feelings. The story has an open ending in which they could either end up together or not. Tbh I'm just cheering them on. He also bought her a turquoise ring for her birthday. ^^

10) That's it. Let's ship them with all we have. 💍👰🤵💖💫
