episode 2 spoilers

Updated 1 May.

1. Nino ♥♥♥♥♥
2. Nekota! :D
3. Please give Aoi more to do!
4. So many lefties in this episode! I feel like that's on the SNIPE manufacturer. Surely they should have thought about the existence of left-handed people at some point during its development.
5. I don't know why the surgeries where they just make a small incision are so much more horrible to look at than the open surgeries but for me they REALLY ARE. Good job I'm not a surgeon.
6. Man, they really don't want me to be able to translate "jama" consistently, do they?

I'll probably add more to this once I rewatch/sub.

7. The emergency patient transfer comes from “Sakuranomiya hospital”... I think this is more Team Batista continuity stuff? On Sera’s transfer form, he writes that he wants to be transferred to this hospital.
8. The journal editor is in on all this shady business too?? Wow :/

9. Tokai’s mum sent him even more rice, ahaha.

10. This argument between Tokai and Takashina about hypothetical future patients is SUCH BULLSHIT oh my god.

11. Yakiniku! What a cute factory boss :D

12. The scene where Sera runs upstairs to yell at Takashina... Saeki is really actually evil here. I do like Takashina much more after this episode though. And Nino (Tokai) smirking to himself in the back... great.

13. Sera’s panic at the end about apologising is adorable and hilarious XD.

14. Apparently Tokai pushing Sera’s stuff on the floor was an ad lib and the script just said “Tokai does something”.

The lines “Oh, you were watching? Why didn't you do it, then?” were also ad libbed by Nino.

15. This amused me: a short three minutes.

Thank you again for the subbing :)

I really enjoyed the second episode! There was some interaction between Tokai and Sera besides "jama" :D
I agree that the issue of "skilled surgeons will be unnecesary thanks to this amazing device" is really annoying because... couldn't they coexist? But I guess they need some other rivalry besides the professors' impact factors.
It might be a personal thing but I find Sera's constant crying seriously annoying. I find myself saying loudly while watching "get it together, dude!" I mean, who agonizes over everything and cries all the time?
Also, what I find hilarious in most Japanese dramas, a character can't experience anything without an "audience", it's always someone passing by and watching. Like - what was the purpose of Aoi overhearing the talk between Sera and Takashina? Or her watching him crying after the first operation? What's up with that? :D
But I love, love, love this drama and I rewatch it constantly so thanks again!! I hope it'll only get better in the next episodes.
PS. Will you think of subbing the documentary?

Yeah, the surgeons vs tech thing seems very exaggerated. Even if the snipe is accepted, it can only do one kind of operation, anyway!

It probably isn't true but I am choosing to imagine that Aoi is deliberately spying on him for nefarious purposes, haha.

Sera's crying doesn't bother me yet, but even after only watching one episode my husband was making fun of his "single tear" scenes.

As for the documentary, you mean the navi? If no one has subbed it by the time the drama is done, I'll think about it I guess, but it will probably go in a locked comm if so.

My husband was laughing that a patient is (supposedly) dying and the doctors are sitting around and arguing, instead of saving his life :D
It's sad that there are no powerful women's characters, the only ones are nurses and they neither speak nor do much :(
I did mean the navi, thanks for your efforts!

There do seem to be a few female doctors and residents in background shots, at least, but it would definitely be nice to have a more prominent female character.

I thought the same thing, snipe can only do one kind of operation, but their are other surgeries that need competent surgeons, the fact that it is something Sakei is pretty much known for is probably why he is fighting so much against it
I don't keno whose side Tokia is though, he does try new tech we know this from the first episode. And he defended Takashina and even the bet felt like Tokai was giving him and out.
It's all so exciting to think about.
But, that end with the lung scans again! What does it mean?
Is it why Tokai has to fight Sakei under handedly? So many questions...

I definitely want to know what Tokai is up to. It seems like he has a goal or something motivating him that's more important than his rivalries with Sekai and Takashina...
