*****(Possible) Spoilers Ahead*****
So, Shia detected power within Max and Max had pills from his mom to conceal his power eh? Well, that confirms Max is an Armageddon Child or something and explains how he pulls off a Kamehameha in the Halloween special. I wonder how that's going to turn out... Hopefully that power doesn't make him as bad or worse than Shia, not to mention I don't see Max going down that road. (btw, in Christianity, although killing is best avoided at all costs, it can be permitted to kill someone if they're a complete psychopath and there's absolutely no way to prevent them from killing anyone so as to preserve the life of those more innocent, so Death's argument is a weak one; the zombie's aren't innocent (albiet Max never asked these mutant zombie not to eat him or his friends, but that's not much of an option with most zombies) nor is Max more a murderer than a protector, especially after going through a super zombie to save Naomi at Dead Detention 1-5 (not giving one of the bikes in that episode to Naomi is another discussion, I'm just providing evidence that Max isn't a monster for killing zombies)).
I'm sort of wondering why detective Freeman doesn't show that he has a gun on him to defend himself. Sure, Sherlock Holmes might not have had a gun on his person at all times, but if Freeman knew what he was up against, I'd bet he'd have a gun on him. Besides, it looks like anything that casts spells in this universe either has to take time to say something or charge up to cast a spell (possible exception being the Moon King... whatever he is), so aside from talking fast, guns would beat magic here. Not to say that Freeman and Naomi's older sister wouldn't have been captured if they had guns, there's only two of them and who knows how many death disciples lurking around in Universe .08.
Overall, another fine episode. So far, I can see that Max is going to survive one way or another for sure, but everyone else's fate is up in the air...
btw, when Death (the 8-bit skull) says"so immature," you can see the visual bug from last episode.
Also, Chronicle Bulletin. It's my favorite series of yours so far and it's been over two months since the last episode... If it doesn't spoil anything major in dead detention, I'd really like to see Chronicle Bulletin 4 before Dead Detention 2-8. In fact, I feel revealing Mr. Noom's identity should happen in Chronicle Bulletin before Dead Detention 2, or that could spoil part of Chronicle Bulletin.
