That's why I said that my speculation was outlandish. Nyelv and Kenzou are proven to be 2 different people, but from the recent episodes, it seems like someone who may or may not be Nyelv has been providing Kenzou with crucial information and resources such as a Granute's internal organ. It'd be too easy if that person is Nyelv, whose look and demeanor already give away the vibe of a manipulator, haha. It could be Dente, or a brand new character who represents a clandestine organization like I've hypothesized since episode 50 of Gotchard. The identity of that person (and his organization) will likely be revealed by Christmas or New Year.

Sure, that may be true, considering how the writers of this story love convoluted, heavy-handed writing. It'd only make the Granute look stupid because he left a residue of his own chemical signature in Mr. Shioya's Hito Press. The Granute basically sabotaged himself. And, if he did gain something from Nyelv, what did he gain? The story didn't show anything about it. If he was indeed ordered by Nyelv yet gained nothing from him, then he, like many characters in this story, was indeed intentionally made stupid simply to move the plot.

A Granute can choose to produce low quality Hito Presses simply because low quality Hito Presses are still rewarded, albeit less than the high quality ones. Also, turning human witnesses into Hito Presses is an effective strategy in covering up their crimes. Why would a Granute let a human target escape simply because he's a low quality targets, and risk being exposed by the escaped human target?

We're talking about Gavv here, not Ryuki. Don't deflect criticisms by changing the subject.

Those items weren't left in the cafe, but outside the cafe. That cafe isn't located in a shady place. It's located in a business district. It's similar to what red-light districts look like. You may be required to provide certain credentials to enter it, but you're almost never required to show any credentials to simply walk on the street outside. The inside may be frequented by shady, murky individuals, but the outside is just a normal street. By morning, many people should've noticed if items of importance such as wallet were dropped outside on the street. Oh, and police are often doing night patrols as well.

Which viewers? The answer: The viewers that have common sense yet rarely speak their mind, aka the silent majority. I've presented many pieces of evidence of how hilariously sloppy the writing in this story is. Time will eventually tell if my criticisms of this series are congruent with reality or not. So far, this story has been consistently making sloppy mistakes to laugh at.
