The Detective Is Already Dead Season: 1 Episode 04 – What I See in That Eye In Hindi

Synopsis So I'll start the review of this week's The Detective Is Already Dead with the positive: The actual mystery-solving does, in fact, make sense this time! Kinda! If you squint! That is, Kimihiko is revealed to have deduced what's really going on with the story of Yui's sapphire heist, and he does so using observations and a train of thought in a way that feels like something an actual human being would do. It's even based on details that were ostensibly available to the audience as clues for them to figure out for themselves! It's almost a frustrating testament to how decently that element of the series could have worked had they just utilized it more effectively in all the preceding episodes. I even appreciate the medium-based irony to the observations: Sure, it technically makes sense that Yui shouldn't have been able to handle herself as effectively without the use of her left eye, but we here in the audience are so accustomed to anime bullshit glossing over that kind of thing that we wouldn't really have considered it! Of course, the Dead-tective show getting one over on us naturally just turns out to be in service of deploying its own very specific flavors of anime bullshit. I mean at this point, we were all already coming up with our own absurd theories about what the actual deal with Yui's eye was (I'll admit I was firmly in camp "She had an eye transplant from Siesta"), so it actually being another stray cybernetic implant almost feels tame compared to the other possibilities. And as mentioned, it does make sense with the information we were previously given. As well, the emotional element tied into the artificial eye (its outlandish seeing-through-stuff superpowers aside) is kind of effective. Making clear how and why the eye is special to Yui also provides an understandable reason for why she was keeping it covered, even if the way it ties into her dead-parents backstory isn't exactly the freshest fictional exercise.
