   How to use んだ and でしょ.

   んだ was covered in a video which I posted last week:

     Yes, I'm watching the second episode of Tengoku Daimakyou, and paying attention to how they say 僕 (boku).

     It seems both boys and girls use "bòku" rather than the raising-flat "bokù" used by adults.

     Sometimes Maru switches to 俺 (orè)...

     Often when he's speaking seriously to Kiruko-oneechan.

     Ah, this would explain why Kiruko uses 僕 😲

     By the way, is it キルコ or キル子?

     And is "kiru" a reference to kill, as in Kirua = キルア = killer?

     @codewiz @codewiz it’s funny how both brothers and sisters (or brothers) confessed to each other (i am guessing they are siblings, also matches the title of the episode: “two confessions”)

     @srevinsaju I suspect there's something more than simply being siblings: perhaps all the kids are clones or replicants.

     They still have to explain why Maru can easily kill the mutant monsters with some sort of psychic powers, and why the others can't.

     Furthermore, Maru heard that in Heaven there's a guy who looks like him. Surely that's Tokio, so the school ran by robots must be Heaven. We have even seen that they're growing tomatoes in episode 1.

     Another pending mystery is what's the drug that Maru is carrying, and why Tokio has to be injected with it. There seem to have two vials; is the other one for Maru?

     @codewiz apparently Shiro has some skin disease thing which I am speculating could the drug be for, but yea.. its hard to connect the dots now.
