That's just keeping her in the "useless character" status quo, not mocking the viewer for not figuring it out; as you said - there's really no way we could have. This isn't a Marvel comic (ba dumbum-tsshhh).

First off I never said I dislike the episode. Second I'm just saying after so long of not being given any explanation on Poppi, we're finally being given one, one that answers some question and raise others, and the characters just treat it like it's nothing.

He didn't twindle his thumbs on whether to kill Lazer, or send someone else less qualified to do it. He did it fast and he did it himself. It shows he's a huge threat.

I understand that was the point and it does show that how ruthless Kurota is. I also understand that a lot of people like Kiriya, heck I also like Kiriya. I just think at this point, Kiriya has a lot of things about his chracter that can be developed and if they were developed, his death would not only have a lot more impact to not just us the viewers, but to the characters as well. Cause like I said, the only one that seemed to be affected by his death emotionally is Emu. Imagine if the other characters had formed attachments to Kiriya.
