Crap, I actually don't know the answer to that, sorry! ; A ; I'm all caught up, but the chapter happened a long time ago and hasn't really been brought up after that, so I've never thought about it.
Nah it is ok ;3 I didn't expect you to and it is fresh to me cos it happened recently and honestly, I was just so puzzled by it, cos it made no sense. And I kinda expected it to be never addressed later.
EDIT: Okay, I actually went back and re-read volume 5~ I don't believe it's explained why the guy broke the syringe. Some people have theorized that it's a similar suppressant/antidote that Kurumi used earlier in the series, but why he didn't inject it in himself is a mystery. Maybe his appearance was just to show that there are still survivors even outside of the school? This isn't confirmed or mentioned anywhere canonically, but my personal speculation is that the syringe he was holding might not have been a cure at all and could be the very virus that spreads the zombie disease.
Yes. I thought he was infected by virus and had the similar cure that Kurumi used, but then why he didn't inject himself with it but instead crashed it? It didn't look like he destroy it by accident but rather choose to not cure himself and destroy it. Also if he knew he was infected, why he didn't cure himself before going off? So my next thought was if he wanted to infect girls instead, but then again. If the thing he was was a virus then why he crushed it? Why try to inject himself if he clearly was infected already? Or he was infected to infect them and had a cure in case he wont make it, so he can cure himself and then find another way to infect them, but changed his mind and decided to spare them and let helicopter crash instead. It doesn't help that either way it seemed like it was suggested that this person or some kind of group found the messages that girls were sending and instead of helping them, it looked like they went there to just screw them. I know bad stuff happens in life and there are all sort of groups trying to push their agendas, but still I hate those kind situations where you are reward with bad things for doing good etc. Like they survived so long, manage to let other people know they are doing ok and then those other people that they reached come there and destroyed everything. And that is main grip with this entire situation. Because it is so confusing and unclear, it just seems like entire point of it was to just force them to leave the school. As if author wanted girls to leave it, but didn't know how to make it look naturally and make sense, since they got everything there, so he had to come up with some way to ruin it.
In any case, I think his appearance was just to let the audience know that there are other people beyond their high school and that not all hope is lost. The helicopter crash helps move the plot along, and in case you haven't read further into volume 5 yet, I won't spoil anything. I will say that the chapters following the crash speaks loads about our main characters thus far. Yuki is a bit more different than how she was first introduced (see: http://www.punipunijapan.com/neko-o-kaburu/), meanwhile the rest of the main characters have also changed in some way. We can discuss it more if you want after you've finished the volume!
We just got next, 6 volume released that is why I got new avatar. It ends on chapter 36 just in case. Yes I know what you are talking about, but still the way the plot was moved forward did felt a bit forced. Also on the subject on the cure. I found it really interesting. At first I was surprised cos it seemed like auhtor was going for killing a main character, which I'd applaud if they did cos that take some guts, but then I also had mixed feelings cos Kurumi is my favorite character, but then it turned out they just so happened to have a cure. It felt a bit cheep, even if there were hints that maybe someone is experimenting with zombifying and they were preparing for things go sore like that. But in 6 volume it turned out that the cure either wasn't perfect or process can't be completely reversed, which I was both surprised about and intrigued with. Cos I didn't expect it to have such lasting consequences but it does. It seems that Kurumi is like half zombie. She either can't generate warm or is way colder than normal person and zombies either can't sense her because of lack of heat or they treat her as one of them. I wonder how much of a zombie she is and how much it affected her. I'm really curious where it will go cos it is something I didn't read about before.
Also, I never really shipped anyone from Gakkou Gurashi, but I can see Mii-kun x Kurumi over everyone else any day. :')
Well people here joke about yuri goggles but I never used them. I like yuri etc. but I usually ship people and such only when I really feel/see the subtext/text and while I like all the cast and I felt like there could be something between Yuki and Yuuri, at first when Miki was introduced she had a vibe with Yuki, but then her relationship with Kurumi really got closer and this last volume just made it so easy for me to ship them, especially that scene from my avatar ♥ And it does help that I like Kurumi the best from all character and Miki is probably second.
