74	"The Real Monster" "Hontou no Kaibutsu" (本当の怪物)	September 27, 2005	September 13, 2010
An indeterminate period of time has passed since the events at Ruhenheim. Dr. Tenma has been cleared of all charges and is now working for Doctors without Borders. Karl informs Schuwald of Tenma's current status. Eva Heinemann is now working as an interior decorator and has released her anger of Tenma and her grief of Martin when she informs Dr. Reichwein of her new job. Nina has graduated from law school while Suk, Vardemann, and Lunge visit Grimmer's grave where Lunge tells them that he is now a professor at the police station. Dieter is on his way home to Dr. Reichwein when Otto Heckel shows up and gives information on the whereabouts of the twins' mother. Dr. Tenma visits her in Southern France and she relates a story on how she loved the father of her twins and wished revenge on those who killed him through her children. She also recalls how the children did not want to be abandoned by their mother. Dr. Tenma later visits a police hospital and the bedside of an apparently comatose Johan where he gets a hallucination of Johan wondering if his mother really loved him or had mistaken him for his sister. As Tenma leaves the police hospital, Johan's bed is empty with the window open.

Finally finished the show I'd been watching everyday for two months. Thought it was 150 episodes instead of 74, so was extremely surprised when it ended. Still wouldn't have made any sense for it to go on, since it ended exactly where it started.
Not the best show ever, but still pretty good.
