To be honest, after seeing this episode and connecting it with ep 12, I kinda realized something. It seems that Emu's compatibility actually started 16 years ago. He got the Bugster virus or something like prototype of it at that time but the surgery 6 years ago actually was the one that split his personality. Remember, many sources and Dan's words last episode said that the operation was to made a new type of virus. So, what we could have for Emu is might be a prototype of the Bugster Virus. Seeing M's antic toward Nico in the past, Im' even pretty sure that his Emu and M's personality was one or rather made obvious after the surgery.

Anyway, it's a really nice episode for a Taiga's fan like me. This really cements that he isn't a really type of bad guy or an antagonist at all. In fact, I have a feeling that he is someone a Kiriya-like successor in the second arc of the story. Love Hiiro's interaction with Emu here and he actually cares about Emu as his junior. Pretty much, he has changed since what we saw in the first episode. And Parad... I got the feeling that he will be a wild card of the series. I don't believe he will become a good guy; just a guy who has his own agenda. One thing I'm sure is he might backstab Dan later in the story.
