So Parasyte is progressing nicely. Its got the character development or de-evolvement (depending on how you look at it 😉 ) and the story is progressing and a good rate. I love how the Shinichi Izumi went from being the weak underdog that was picked on constantly and now he is a bona fide badass. That being said it is all due to the parasite that failed to take his brain and instead embedded itself in his hand. With the death of his mother and his father being delusional he searches for the parasite that ate his mother when he encounter another like himself. after making aquaintences and becoming allies they promise to keep tabs on one another to find Izumi’s mother’s killer. Soon after the they ally up Uda (the ally) finds the enemy and lures it away after a brief fight Izumi joins and after surprising the murderer Uda re-appear and kills the parasite that had killed Izumi’s mother.
After the death of his mother and after Migi repaired the whole in his heart something changed within him. When Migi repaired the whole and returned to Izumi’s hand something unexpected happened. Particles from Migi’s being were somehow left in the blood stream and have begun to alter Izumi’s physical characteristics. First we notice that his sight is fixed and he no longer needs glasses. Actually what really is first and is brought to attention later on is the fact that he no longer cries. I believe it has to do with how Migi doesn’t have empathy. Meaning that Migi’s particles are changing Izumi more that physical, but also mentally. This is also shown in second to last episode is when Izumi finds the dog dying in the street and brings it back to the park to let it die in peace, but where is shows his lost empathy is when it is dead he just throws it in the trash. One more side effect of Migi’s intervention to save Izumi is that  Migi now has to sleep for 4 hours out of the day in order to be combat ready…. this obviously leaves Izumi in a bind more than a couple of times, but because of the super human abilities that he’s gained he is slightly more prepared to defend himself.
