Looking at the ending of the recent installment, here is what fans could expect from The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2 Episode 4:

  • Kimizuka could investigate Yui's connection to Seed: One of the biggest revelations in the previous episode was that Yui could become the next vessel for Seed. Therefore, The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2 Episode 4 may explore why Seed is interested in Yui and whether her jewel eye has anything to do with her potential role.
  • Bat and Komori's alliance could complicate the fight against SPES: Bat's escape and his apparent willingness to work with Kimizuka introduce an interesting development. The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2 Episode 4 could reveal more about Komori's reasons for opposing Seed and whether Bat can be trusted.
  • Yui's idol career could remain part of the story: Yui's request for Kimizuka to become her producer provides a more personal storyline alongside the supernatural mystery. Maybe The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2 Episode 4 could develop that determination by showing how she handles the consequences of the allegations and whether Kimizuka's involvement helps her regain control of her career.

In conclusion, while the exact events remain unconfirmed, the combination of personal drama and supernatural intrigue sets up an interesting continuation.
