Monster -- better late than never

now watchin' MONSTER (anime)... psychological thriller/conspiracy anime ♥, what would you do if you find out that the person you save/d is actually a ruthless murderer?

---SPOILER ALERT---

... although am still at episode 19 out of 74, the setting is in Germany but the protagonist is a Japanese surgeon who was accused of multiple serial killings & now a fugitive (when in fact the boy he saved back then was the real perpetrator of all this -- named Johann and said to be the new Hitler --ofcourse in Anime).

Back when he became a serial-killer, Johann was an orphaned boy and has a twin sister; they were found at the borders of Czech, although they were separated; Johann was brought to Kinderheim 511 (orphanage) and his sister Anna/Nina was at another orphanage. Kinderheim 511 was said to be or proven to be experimentation lab which produces perfect soldiers (which maybe the cause why he became a killer). After the collapse of Kinderheim 511, Johann and his sister reunited again and was adopted by the ~ Family.

At that time Dr. Tenma Kenzo (genius surgeon) was the verge of success when suddenly due to confusion of self-righteousness and ambition; he chose to be righteous and disobeyed direct orders from the director, instead treating the mayor first; he treated the child (Johann). Mayor died and his son (Johann) was saved. Unknowingly, he saved a MONSTER which led to Dr.Tenma's dilemmas.

Later revealed that Johann was the one who killed his foster parents and that his sister Anna (Nina Fortner) was the one who shot Johann on the head. Anna stated that every couple who adopted them got killed and that rainy night she discovered that her brother (Johann) was the one who killed them all, and so "I held the gun, and the funny thing is, my brother said, go on but be sure to aim the head".

Now, Tenma felt responsible for the killings (because he was the one who actually saved him from the verge of death) and wants to stop him by killing him. It is also revealed that Johann seemed to have suffered in multiple personality disorder; which one seeks help to stop his killings and the other one a ruthless/merciless/remorseless serial-killer.
