86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.17- I Won't Forget · Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

0:00
Speaker 1: Hey, it's your person, Michelle. I suppose I'm back. I
0:05
Speaker 1: got a new air conditioner, but it's still so loud
0:07
Speaker 1: that I can't really run it. Well, I am doing
0:10
Speaker 1: the podcast, so yay, everything's fine. So yeah, let's just
0:16
Speaker 1: get right into eighty six because everything sucks. So Episode
0:21
Speaker 1: seventeen of eighty six is called I Won't Forget, which
0:25
Speaker 1: could be positive or negative, honestly, depending on what's going
0:29
Speaker 1: on that you might forget about and why you might
0:33
Speaker 1: forget about it, I guess. So if you remember at
0:36
Speaker 1: the end of the last episode, things were really bad.
0:39
Speaker 1: I think that the base was about to get exploded.
0:42
Speaker 1: Shinn was standing by the window and then all of
0:44
Speaker 1: a sudden he got really freaked out. He was starting
0:45
Speaker 1: to run towards Frederica, and light was like blasting in
0:49
Speaker 1: the window, and then that was it. Right, So we
0:52
Speaker 1: don't start there at all, thanks so much. We start
0:56
Speaker 1: on a close up of a street light, and everything's
0:59
Speaker 1: kind of obscure. We could see that, like there's fire
1:03
Speaker 1: light at the bottom of the screen, so something is
1:05
Speaker 1: on fire below the street light, and embers are like
1:09
Speaker 1: flying up into the air, and then the whole scene vibrates. Oh,
1:14
Speaker 1: also during this area, there's just music, there's no sound effects,
1:18
Speaker 1: so the scene starts to vibrate and we see that
1:22
Speaker 1: it is a legion. Well, multiple legion are on that
1:27
Speaker 1: street that Lena like always stands at the crosswalk of
1:29
Speaker 1: looking all sad when everyone else is like super happy, great.
1:33
Speaker 1: And there's this big Legion thing and it like rests
1:35
Speaker 1: its foot on one of the buses. That's like real
1:38
Speaker 1: fucked up. I don't think there's people inside it or
1:40
Speaker 1: anything anymore. And everything is on fire everything pretty much,
1:45
Speaker 1: and so like the Legion are like firing, and we
1:47
Speaker 1: get like a shot of them like through the window
1:50
Speaker 1: of like a shop that they're passing, and there's lots
1:52
Speaker 1: of Alba like in the streets running around. It's like
1:55
Speaker 1: the buildings are getting hit and we see on like
1:58
Speaker 1: the side of a building this graffitied sign says eighty
2:00
Speaker 1: six stay away, which seems stupid, really stupid. And then
2:05
Speaker 1: we see a bunch of Legion going over like this
2:07
Speaker 1: bridge over maybe like a canal or something. We cut
2:10
Speaker 1: to Lena's arm like extended forward, and at this the
2:13
Speaker 1: Legions start to get shot at and like exploded, and
2:17
Speaker 1: then we see Lena like in mid yell, but of
2:19
Speaker 1: course we don't hear anything because we're just doing music.
2:22
Speaker 1: And juggernauts are like firing on the Legion and they're
2:25
Speaker 1: like getting hit, and then we see like a line
2:27
Speaker 1: of what I guess are mortars like across this canal,
2:31
Speaker 1: like shooting at the Legion. Lena is in this like
2:35
Speaker 1: outside like ops area because maybe there's no more inside
2:38
Speaker 1: areas that they can be in, and there's a bunch
2:40
Speaker 1: of like big screens and like computers and stuff, and
2:42
Speaker 1: Annett is there like working on a computer, and Lena
2:46
Speaker 1: is talking to some dude, and then there's like an
2:48
Speaker 1: explosion nearby and Lena winces and turns in shock, and
2:53
Speaker 1: the Legion are like right fucking there. We cut back
2:56
Speaker 1: to Lena, Annette and the guy just looking on. Lena
3:00
Speaker 1: raises her aunt to her chest and we see a
3:02
Speaker 1: shot of her glowing power raid through her hair. She
3:04
Speaker 1: extends her arm and says something that we can't hear,
3:07
Speaker 1: but probably fire, and we see a shot of the
3:10
Speaker 1: missiles firing at the Legion as they walk down the
3:12
Speaker 1: streets and the city burns. Let me go the opening theme. Yay.
3:17
Speaker 1: Back from the opening, we finally find out what happened.
3:20
Speaker 1: I guess. We have this really close shot of kind
3:24
Speaker 1: of like Frederica with shins like hand over her head,
3:28
Speaker 1: kind of like protecting it and also blocking her view,
3:32
Speaker 1: and it is August twenty seventh, twenty one forty nine.
3:35
Speaker 1: Sen's like, are you okay? THEO says, I guess yeay,
3:40
Speaker 1: they're okay. Carna says, where are we? Probably the same
3:44
Speaker 1: place she were when this started. I'm not sure what
3:47
Speaker 1: that means. Frederica opens her eyes because they've been closed
3:50
Speaker 1: up until now, and we still don't see anybody. We're
3:53
Speaker 1: still in that shot of Frederica right and says their
3:56
Speaker 1: targets the forward base. Sin's like yeah, and it's like shit.
4:01
Speaker 1: Frederica starts to pull away and she's like, what's going on?
4:04
Speaker 1: Shin like actually fully tries to cover her eyes now,
4:07
Speaker 1: and he's like, don't look. We finally like pan over
4:11
Speaker 1: and we see Shin, who is bleeding from his head.
4:13
Speaker 1: Of course he is, so there's like a gap in
4:16
Speaker 1: his hands, you know, because he's got fingers and stuff,
4:18
Speaker 1: and it doesn't cover her eyes all the way, so
4:20
Speaker 1: she can actually see him slightly from that area, and
4:24
Speaker 1: we hear a voice say, someone, come help, and another
4:27
Speaker 1: one say over here too. Frederica gasps. Another guy says
4:31
Speaker 1: my arm. Frederica like clenches her fists, and someone like
4:35
Speaker 1: screams in the background, and we see that there's just
4:39
Speaker 1: blood and debris like all over the ground. And then
4:41
Speaker 1: we are just like looking through this like really narrow
4:43
Speaker 1: opening at blue sky and there's like cheering and lots
4:49
Speaker 1: of like busted up mechs like littering this kind of
4:52
Speaker 1: like wasteland area, and they're just like blood everywhere too.
4:57
Speaker 1: And then I totally understood what was happening is that
4:59
Speaker 1: Frederica is kind of remembering her past. I guess someone
5:03
Speaker 1: was shielding her eyes back then too, and her eyes
5:06
Speaker 1: widened and she gasps. We get a better shot of
5:09
Speaker 1: the present now, and we can see that the windows
5:11
Speaker 1: have been flown out, and Shin and Frederica are kind
5:14
Speaker 1: of like shielded behind it like sideways table, and Sin says,
5:19
Speaker 1: an you please, Andrew walks over. Of course, she reaches
5:23
Speaker 1: out for Frederica and then embraces her, and Frederica's like
5:27
Speaker 1: Kitty did this. Andrew says, let's go, and Frederica's like, shiney,
5:33
Speaker 1: you're not gonna do this right. You're not gonna end
5:35
Speaker 1: up like Kitty, right, Fuck leave him alone. Shin. Yeah,
5:41
Speaker 1: he's just kind of glancing in her direction, and then
5:43
Speaker 1: he turns his head away and he's like, yeah. Fuck.
5:49
Speaker 1: We get to a TV with like a breaking news
5:53
Speaker 1: feed on it, and I can't see what it says
5:55
Speaker 1: on the screen because the captions are over it, but
5:58
Speaker 1: it's showing like this big cret with like floodlights all
6:01
Speaker 1: around it and a voice I assumed the newscaster says.
6:05
Speaker 1: The first barrage hit the eighth's mechanized forward operating pace
6:09
Speaker 1: FOB fourteen seventy Two minutes later, FOB thirteen was struck.
6:15
Speaker 1: We see Marcel and some other guys like in the
6:17
Speaker 1: hospital looking at this in horror. We cut to someone
6:21
Speaker 1: who we really can't see, sitting at a desk somewhere
6:24
Speaker 1: writing something with like a pen or a pencil, and
6:27
Speaker 1: the newscaster continues. Fifteen hours later, the fifth infantrys FOB
6:32
Speaker 1: twenty eight and FOB thirty were struck. There's a picture
6:36
Speaker 1: of Eugene in the room. Oh yeah, that's not good,
6:40
Speaker 1: the newscaster continues. The artillery strikes wiped out all fob's shit.
6:45
Speaker 1: We see Ernst's office now, and like there's some folks
6:48
Speaker 1: there and it is August twenty eighth, twenty one forty nine,
6:52
Speaker 1: And I thought that this was the newscaster, but I
6:54
Speaker 1: think it's just this blonde dude that's talking to Ernst.
6:57
Speaker 1: And he says, the four regiments stayed at their bases.
7:01
Speaker 1: Approximately twenty thousand people were wiped out. Oh, that seems
7:06
Speaker 1: like a lot of people. Ernst is looking at this
7:09
Speaker 1: screen with like the casualties from the four bases on it,
7:12
Speaker 1: and it actually totals twenty thousand and ninety four people.
7:16
Speaker 1: The blonde guy continues. The ultralong range artillery behind this
7:20
Speaker 1: is believed to be a new type of legion. Ernest
7:23
Speaker 1: looks at a screen with a mech called Morpho on it,
7:26
Speaker 1: like a diagram of it, and the blonde guy says
7:29
Speaker 1: that we will refer to as the Morpho. It's estimated
7:32
Speaker 1: specs r as follows eighty millimeters caliber, effective range of
7:36
Speaker 1: four hundred kilometers, which is two hundred and forty eight
7:40
Speaker 1: point five four to eight miles. What the fuck. Initial
7:44
Speaker 1: velocity of eight thousand meters per second also on the
7:48
Speaker 1: screen is like the accuracy of these things, which didn't
7:51
Speaker 1: make any sense to me. Like it's got an initial velocity,
7:54
Speaker 1: effective range in caliber accuracy, like what maybe I just
7:59
Speaker 1: don't understands. Caliber accuracy is ninety three point nine effective
8:03
Speaker 1: range is ninety six point three percent accurate, and initial
8:07
Speaker 1: velocity is ninety seven point two percent accurate. I don't
8:10
Speaker 1: know what's going on there. Whatever flung guid continues, this
8:13
Speaker 1: would be impossible for a normal canon. Yeah, we believe
8:16
Speaker 1: it's to be a rail gun, So I should tell
8:19
Speaker 1: you what a rail gun is, because I didn't know
8:21
Speaker 1: what it is. I just thought it was a gun
8:22
Speaker 1: that was on rails. I've never watched a certain scientific railgun.
8:27
Speaker 1: Is that what it's called? Certain magical index? A certain
8:30
Speaker 1: scientific railgun. I think I'm right about that. So I
8:33
Speaker 1: don't really know what a rail gun is, so I
8:35
Speaker 1: looked it up. It is a linear motor device that
8:38
Speaker 1: uses electromagnetic force to launch high velocity projectiles. It doesn't
8:44
Speaker 1: use explosives. It just relies on the projectiles high kinetic
8:49
Speaker 1: energy to do damage. But still don't really understand. But
8:52
Speaker 1: it doesn't like have explosives. It uses electromagnetic force, So
8:57
Speaker 1: that's pretty interesting. And scary maybe, especially if it can
9:02
Speaker 1: shoot and hit a target from over two hundred and
9:05
Speaker 1: forty eight miles away. Anyway, there's a bunch of guys
9:08
Speaker 1: sitting like behind him at this table and they're looking
9:11
Speaker 1: over the specs arnstance like a rail gun. He looks
9:15
Speaker 1: down at a tablet. This was in their report when
9:18
Speaker 1: we took him in. He is looking at Spearhead stats,
9:22
Speaker 1: I guess. And we can see Shin, Ryden and theo's stats,
9:25
Speaker 1: and there's really not that much that we don't know
9:27
Speaker 1: about them. It doesn't say they're birthdays or anything, but
9:30
Speaker 1: we do know that, at least according to this, they're
9:32
Speaker 1: all sixteen, which is insane. And Shin's ethnicity is Onyx
9:38
Speaker 1: slash Pyrope. His height is one hundred and seventy five centimeters,
9:43
Speaker 1: so that's about five foot seven, and his weight is
9:46
Speaker 1: seventy four kilograms, which I just looked up and that
9:48
Speaker 1: is one one hundred and sixty three pounds. Ryden's ethnicity
9:52
Speaker 1: is icon and he is one hundred and eighty five
9:57
Speaker 1: centimeters tall, which is six feet tall, and he weighs
10:01
Speaker 1: eighty five kilograms, which is one hundred and eighty seven
10:04
Speaker 1: pounds and theo is a jade and he is one
10:09
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five centimeters tall and that's about five
10:13
Speaker 1: foot four and he weighs sixty three kilograms, which is
10:17
Speaker 1: about one thirty eight And now you know for some reason.
10:21
Speaker 1: Also on the screen, it says attacked by Legion long
10:24
Speaker 1: range weapon, most likely a railgun. I wish you guys
10:27
Speaker 1: paid attention to these things, the blonde guy continues, Yes,
10:31
Speaker 1: it's incredibly powerful. We believe that the fifteen hours between
10:34
Speaker 1: the second and third strikes were used to replace the barrel.
10:38
Speaker 1: During this time, the Western Front forces loaded up every
10:41
Speaker 1: cruise missile they had and launched the saturation strike immediately
10:44
Speaker 1: after the fourth volley. It's showing a diagram of what
10:47
Speaker 1: happened on the screen. Now, he continues, the strike seems
10:51
Speaker 1: to have dealt some damage, but it did not destroy
10:53
Speaker 1: the railgun. We hear someone clearing their throat, and Ernst
10:57
Speaker 1: looks over and there's this dude on a screen, and
11:01
Speaker 1: he has red hair, and he's wearing like a military uniform,
11:03
Speaker 1: and the screen says that it is Crown Prince Zafar.
11:07
Speaker 1: I didn't rock maybe I'm not sure. From the United
11:11
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Roo Gracia. Anyway, he says, with regard to
11:15
Speaker 1: the damage, our autonomous units infiltrated the Legion held territory
11:20
Speaker 1: and managed to observe the morpho. You didn't land a
11:23
Speaker 1: direct hit, but you did severely damage it. Yeah. We
11:27
Speaker 1: panned to another screen with like an older lady who's
11:30
Speaker 1: also in a military uniform, and she either has red
11:32
Speaker 1: hair or blue hair. I can't really tell. It's like blue,
11:36
Speaker 1: but then there's like some red underneath. And I wasn't
11:38
Speaker 1: sure if she was wearing some sort of like headscarf
11:40
Speaker 1: or what's going on here. It's really weird looking anyway,
11:43
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. This is Lieutenant General bell Agis of
11:48
Speaker 1: the Alliance of Wald and she nods. Says, if you
11:52
Speaker 1: could get that close, couldn't you just have eliminated the morpho?
11:55
Speaker 1: Zafar kind of laughs, and he says, unfortunately they can't
11:59
Speaker 1: carry that kind of payload and many had to be
12:02
Speaker 1: destroyed just to get one. In general, Aegis is like,
12:05
Speaker 1: I see, so you spent quite a lot on this.
12:08
Speaker 1: Safar says, we're all about to embark on a joint operation.
12:12
Speaker 1: There's no sense in hiding anything. Mutual trust is the
12:15
Speaker 1: most powerful way to bind two humans or two nations
12:19
Speaker 1: earnest size. The issue at hand is how to deal
12:23
Speaker 1: with the Morpho and these supposedly sentient Legion General Agis
12:27
Speaker 1: is like sentient Legion commanders. We've seen them here. Safar
12:31
Speaker 1: says the Legion's weakness was that they rely on their
12:34
Speaker 1: numbers and strength, but are tactically simple. General Agents says
12:38
Speaker 1: that large offensive might have been an attempt to learn
12:40
Speaker 1: more troops to the front lines. Aegis ends a far
12:44
Speaker 1: together say it makes my head hurt, and then they
12:47
Speaker 1: kind of look up at each other, like what the fuck, dude,
12:50
Speaker 1: the blonde guy is like. Continuing from its movement and
12:54
Speaker 1: last known firing position, the morpho is likely to be
12:57
Speaker 1: a train based weapon that uses the old high speed
13:00
Speaker 1: railway network, so it's also literally a rail gun. I'm
13:04
Speaker 1: so excited. Anyway. We see a map of like all
13:07
Speaker 1: the rail lines, like the rail network, and he says,
13:11
Speaker 1: given the available roots and its movement radius, little red
13:15
Speaker 1: explosions like go all over the map, every one of
13:18
Speaker 1: our nation's capitals could be within firing range. Fuck. We
13:21
Speaker 1: get these really interesting shots where like all of the
13:23
Speaker 1: leaders are looking at the map and like their capitals
13:26
Speaker 1: are like right over their eyes. It's cool, and I
13:28
Speaker 1: don't think I described it very well. So we learned
13:31
Speaker 1: that the capital of Wald is Capella arc Stelli is
13:36
Speaker 1: the capital of Roegracia, and sanct Jutter, which we already knew,
13:40
Speaker 1: is the capital of giod The blonde guy continues, Its
13:43
Speaker 1: current location is the train terminal in Krutzbeck City. We
13:46
Speaker 1: estimate it'll take a minimum of eight weeks for the
13:49
Speaker 1: repairs and for it to become combat capable again. If
13:52
Speaker 1: we can't find some countermeasure by then, we'll be defeated.
13:57
Speaker 1: Art says, what countermeasures do we know that'll work? This
14:00
Speaker 1: dark haired guy says, none that we know of. We're
14:03
Speaker 1: now in a different room, like a dark room, around
14:05
Speaker 1: a big table, and they're like screens in the middle
14:08
Speaker 1: of it and like on a wall. And the dark
14:11
Speaker 1: haired guy who is standing says, our anti airguns aren't
14:14
Speaker 1: fast enough to shoot it down, and we don't have
14:16
Speaker 1: enough to try. We're bringing in more cruise missiles from
14:18
Speaker 1: the other war zones, but the legion jamming means we
14:21
Speaker 1: can't guide them. We see some like destruction on a
14:24
Speaker 1: screen and it says provided by the United Kingdom. Of
14:28
Speaker 1: rural gracia. There's like something shooting like from the sky,
14:32
Speaker 1: I guess, and the dark haired guy continues, and their
14:35
Speaker 1: slow speed makes them easy targets for the Legion AA.
14:39
Speaker 1: I think that's probably anti aircraft. Maybe we see the
14:44
Speaker 1: thing in the sky like shooting back down now and
14:47
Speaker 1: he continues. The Morpho itself seems to have powerful AA weaponry.
14:52
Speaker 1: Another air strike likely would not work any better without
14:55
Speaker 1: air superiority. An air to surface attack will be extreme difficult.
15:00
Speaker 1: And yet it lies outside our artillery range. There's a
15:03
Speaker 1: map showing this. Some guy says, then we'll have to
15:07
Speaker 1: eliminate it using ground troops. Everyone looks super fucking worried,
15:11
Speaker 1: and this guy with the mustache says, hmm, and all
15:15
Speaker 1: out offensive by every soldier in the western theater into
15:18
Speaker 1: Legion held territory. He's holding his thumb up to Morpho
15:22
Speaker 1: on the map. A strike one hundred kilometers deep into
15:24
Speaker 1: enemy territory, swarming with Legion. Some other guy says, even
15:28
Speaker 1: if we bring in all our immediately available reserves, we
15:31
Speaker 1: lost twenty six percent of our forces on that front
15:34
Speaker 1: in the last attack. Pulling troops from other band lines
15:36
Speaker 1: is in an option, so we'll have to do it
15:39
Speaker 1: with what we have. Why just pull them from other places?
15:42
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know anything about war. Another guy says,
15:45
Speaker 1: we've brought down the numbers of legion in the area
15:47
Speaker 1: by roughly the same amount, but they outnumber us by
15:50
Speaker 1: so much. To begin with. We get a quick cut
15:53
Speaker 1: of feet walking, and then that guy continues their manufacturing
15:57
Speaker 1: plants are unharmed. In two months, they'll be more of them.
16:01
Speaker 1: Quick shot to the feet walking again. The mustache guy
16:04
Speaker 1: says it's a handy thing to have the power to
16:07
Speaker 1: protrict destruction, but nothing else. Shot of Shin from behind
16:11
Speaker 1: his bandana is blowing in the breeze. Back to the
16:13
Speaker 1: mustache guy. Whatever unit we choose to send to eliminate
16:17
Speaker 1: it will die. Yay. Some guy says, yes, that's why
16:22
Speaker 1: we should choose who are most likely to succeed and
16:25
Speaker 1: least likely to be missed. No, we see Shin's feet
16:30
Speaker 1: walking and he stops. That black haired guy who was
16:33
Speaker 1: talking a lot is standing outside of like a hangar,
16:36
Speaker 1: and it is August twenty ninth, twenty nine. Shin is
16:40
Speaker 1: standing over by a reagon leaf because there's a bunch
16:42
Speaker 1: of ragon leaves and the rest of Spearhead is kind
16:45
Speaker 1: of approaching him, and the black haired guy says, so
16:48
Speaker 1: you're the eighty six. He walks towards them. Of course,
16:51
Speaker 1: I've seen your ages, but you really are still kids.
16:54
Speaker 1: They're just silence, and then he continues, I'm sorry, I've
16:58
Speaker 1: read the reports. You have incredibly strong combat abilities and
17:01
Speaker 1: aren't even afraid of death. Come on, yeah, Spearhead does
17:05
Speaker 1: not look pleased. He continues, You're not in the Republic anymore.
17:08
Speaker 1: Don't do anything reckless. The Federacy isn't like the Republic.
17:12
Speaker 1: No one here is replaceable. He starts to walk past them,
17:15
Speaker 1: for better or worse. Fuck yeah, I don't know about that.
17:19
Speaker 1: I think we were just discussing who we were gonna
17:22
Speaker 1: let die. Actually, I'm not really sure that the Federacy
17:26
Speaker 1: is any better than the Republic. I mean, they are,
17:28
Speaker 1: they definitely are, because the Republic is basically just not sees.
17:33
Speaker 1: But fucking you guys aren't great guys either. THEO and
17:37
Speaker 1: Rydan kind of like sighed eye him as he leaves,
17:40
Speaker 1: and then we see the dining room. We have a
17:41
Speaker 1: shot of like their table and like the lower part
17:45
Speaker 1: of their torsos, but like not their faces, and Frederica says, Shine,
17:50
Speaker 1: what's wrong. Shin's eyes are closed and he says nothing.
17:53
Speaker 1: Theo's like, you're still tired. That last fight was probably
17:56
Speaker 1: pretty noisy for you. Didn't you get overwhelmed near the end? Mum,
18:02
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna wait to talk about all of
18:04
Speaker 1: this until the end because I have like a lot
18:06
Speaker 1: of things to say about the fact that Shinn is alone,
18:11
Speaker 1: So let's wait on that anyway, and says, you didn't
18:15
Speaker 1: even notice the legion's retreat. Frederica is like, I knew it.
18:19
Speaker 1: That's not how you usually fight. I synchronize with you,
18:22
Speaker 1: and you didn't even respond at all. Shin's like synchronized.
18:26
Speaker 1: Frederica's like, you didn't even notice. She kind of looks
18:29
Speaker 1: at the rest of them and says, you all should
18:31
Speaker 1: get some rest, especially Shine. You know at the bottom
18:34
Speaker 1: of your hearts that you're all exhausted. Theo's like, at
18:37
Speaker 1: a time like this, that'd be rough. Frederica says, maintaining
18:42
Speaker 1: a soldier's mental health is an important part of the military. Yeah,
18:46
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm seeing that, especially since you're
18:49
Speaker 1: eighty six, you should be given some special consideration. Karina
18:52
Speaker 1: was about to take a bite of her egg, and
18:54
Speaker 1: she bristles like at the mention of eighty six, and
18:56
Speaker 1: she says, I don't want that. I don't want to
18:59
Speaker 1: be treated different out of pity. She says it loud
19:02
Speaker 1: enough that everyone in the room hears her, and it's quiet,
19:06
Speaker 1: and they're all kind of like looking at her like pissed,
19:09
Speaker 1: like super angry that they exist sort of, and some
19:13
Speaker 1: dude says eighty six. Frederica kind of gasps, and Brydon
19:18
Speaker 1: says Krana Crana's like, I'd much prefer to be looked
19:22
Speaker 1: at that way. I'm used to it, right in like
19:25
Speaker 1: kind of scoff laps, and THEO says, well, we got
19:28
Speaker 1: lucky this time, but the whole basic kept blown up
19:30
Speaker 1: at any moment. We get a shot of like the
19:33
Speaker 1: base I think from above, with just an area that's
19:35
Speaker 1: like really fucking damaged, and then we cut to like
19:38
Speaker 1: a shot of like empty kind of like those food
19:41
Speaker 1: trays where you dispense the food from in a cafeteria,
19:44
Speaker 1: and THEO continues, Everyone's on edge, Andrew's like they said
19:48
Speaker 1: it it'd take two months to repair morphone. We shouldn't
19:51
Speaker 1: expect any attacks until then THEO was like, that estimates
19:55
Speaker 1: based off five seconds of footage from some shady foreign
19:58
Speaker 1: country and some weird psychic power. I bet they feel
20:01
Speaker 1: that they can't trust it, Corarina says, but Chin knows
20:04
Speaker 1: the truth. Theo's like, but they didn't believe it until
20:07
Speaker 1: they heard that voice. Karina looks kind of disgusted, and
20:10
Speaker 1: she's like, well right, and says, but still there's been
20:14
Speaker 1: no major trouble or confusion. The Veteracy trains his soldiers well,
20:18
Speaker 1: too much exposition, guys, and the soldiers still look super
20:23
Speaker 1: pissed by the way. THEO says, the republic soldiers would
20:26
Speaker 1: have turned tail and run. I wonder if the Major's
20:28
Speaker 1: still alive. They all look over at him, like what
20:31
Speaker 1: the fuck THEO. And Andrew's like THEO, and THEO says, oh,
20:37
Speaker 1: Karina's like she wouldn't run, Andrew's like Karna, And they
20:42
Speaker 1: all look over at Shin, who is like not paying attention,
20:47
Speaker 1: and after a second he's like what, THEO says, don't
20:51
Speaker 1: tell me, he doesn't realize it. He does, and JW's like,
20:56
Speaker 1: is there anything we can do about morpho right, and says,
20:59
Speaker 1: we got two months to come up with a plan.
21:01
Speaker 1: Even if we do, though it probably won't be a
21:03
Speaker 1: good one. THEO says, it'll probably be us again. Raydon's like, probably.
21:09
Speaker 1: Frederica says, are you okay with that? Shin is drinking
21:12
Speaker 1: his coffee during this, and we see that he hasn't
21:15
Speaker 1: even touched his food at all. I'm getting worried about him.
21:18
Speaker 1: Krana says, I just told you, and then we go
21:20
Speaker 1: to the title card, episode seventeen, I Won't Forget. We
21:25
Speaker 1: cut to a low shot of a bench that's in
21:27
Speaker 1: a park where like behind the bench, and all we
21:29
Speaker 1: can see is the legs of two people who are
21:31
Speaker 1: sitting on it, and one of them has real small
21:34
Speaker 1: legs like a kid, and the other one has big
21:36
Speaker 1: legs like an adult. And the big leged person has
21:39
Speaker 1: a cast on their right leg. And it's August twenty eighth,
21:41
Speaker 1: twenty one to forty nine, so back to yesterday. The
21:44
Speaker 1: guy on the bench says, you want me to give
21:46
Speaker 1: it to him again? And we hear a little girl
21:48
Speaker 1: say there's no answer. The guy's like, can I take
21:53
Speaker 1: a look. It's Nina, by the way on the bench.
21:55
Speaker 1: We see her now, but we can't see the adult person.
21:59
Speaker 1: We can't see his face least. She nods, but she
22:02
Speaker 1: looks super concerned. Maybe she's afraid it's not a good
22:04
Speaker 1: enough thing or whatever. The guy opens the letter and
22:09
Speaker 1: he gasps and he clenches his teeth, but then smiles
22:13
Speaker 1: and very quietly says, it's easier to blame it on
22:16
Speaker 1: somebody else. He puts the note in a blue envelope
22:21
Speaker 1: and we see him stand from behind the bench, so
22:23
Speaker 1: we still don't know who is. He gets his crutch
22:26
Speaker 1: and says, be careful on your way home. Nina looks
22:30
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit pissed off, I think, And then
22:32
Speaker 1: we see that it is Marcel and he holds up
22:34
Speaker 1: the letter and he like has that whale sticker. Oh fuck.
22:38
Speaker 1: So Nina sent Shinn the letter and Marcel delivered it.
22:43
Speaker 1: He says, I'll make sure he gets it. Fuck. We
22:47
Speaker 1: cut to a note being passed through a crack and
22:48
Speaker 1: Chin's door. He looks over at this and sees someone
22:52
Speaker 1: kind of walk away through the frosted glass, and the
22:54
Speaker 1: note falls to the ground and Shin walks over. It's
22:57
Speaker 1: September one, twenty one, forty nine. He stares at it,
23:01
Speaker 1: and we had a flashback to the note on the
23:03
Speaker 1: seat of his Reagan leaf. We see him in the
23:06
Speaker 1: Reagan leaf open it and then stare at it as
23:09
Speaker 1: his eyes widen, and it says, why did you kill
23:13
Speaker 1: my brother? Give him back? Nina runs. He smiles as
23:18
Speaker 1: the cockpit closes, and we hear Nina say, I guess
23:23
Speaker 1: in his head, why did you abandon him? Shin's eyes
23:27
Speaker 1: are closed. Nina continues, why didn't you save my brother?
23:32
Speaker 1: He opens his eyes and smiles in a way that
23:35
Speaker 1: is not the way you want a human being to smile.
23:38
Speaker 1: And he kind of sees her in front of him,
23:41
Speaker 1: like maybe she's on the screen in the Reagan leaf,
23:45
Speaker 1: and she says, you killed him right. Shin is still
23:49
Speaker 1: smiling the worst smile ever, and he says yeah. We
23:54
Speaker 1: cut to his Reagan leaf as it bursts through a
23:56
Speaker 1: bunch of legion and Nina says, I was waiting for
23:59
Speaker 1: him to come back. Shin smiles. We cut back to
24:02
Speaker 1: the fighting again. Nina says, you knew I was waiting.
24:07
Speaker 1: We cut to the dead expression in his eyes as
24:10
Speaker 1: the glass cuts his cheek. Nina says, give me back
24:13
Speaker 1: my brother. More fighting back in his reaganly. Marcel is
24:18
Speaker 1: like hovering over him like kind of on the screen,
24:21
Speaker 1: and he says, why should you be the one to survive?
24:24
Speaker 1: Why is it always you? We're going back and forth
24:27
Speaker 1: between like fighting and Shin as like blood drips down
24:30
Speaker 1: his cheek and we hear a voice say, you have
24:32
Speaker 1: no reason to live. I don't know who this is.
24:34
Speaker 1: By the way. The screen shifts to like Federacy soldiers
24:38
Speaker 1: like side eyeing him, and the voice continues, you have
24:42
Speaker 1: no one waiting for your return. The blood is dripping
24:45
Speaker 1: onto Shin's bandana. He says, that's right. We hear Marcel say,
24:50
Speaker 1: if you'd have died instead of him, there's a legion
24:53
Speaker 1: in front of him now and it's like lifting up
24:54
Speaker 1: his arm, or maybe it's also about to shoot. I
24:56
Speaker 1: got really confused. And at that moment, the sun breaks
24:59
Speaker 1: through the clouds and there's this weird static and we
25:02
Speaker 1: cut to Shin's ear with the scar on it, and
25:05
Speaker 1: we hear Lena say I won't forgets yeay title drop.
25:10
Speaker 1: Shin gasps. We see sparks from those fireworks back in
25:14
Speaker 1: the last chre just falling, and we hear Shin say
25:18
Speaker 1: major back to now. Shin is about to open the
25:22
Speaker 1: new envelope but there's a knock on the door, so
25:24
Speaker 1: he stops, and we hear a voice say, Lieutenant knows it.
25:27
Speaker 1: General Richard wants to speak with you. Shin tosses the
25:30
Speaker 1: letter on to the table. Okay, he looks to the
25:33
Speaker 1: side and closes his eyes. We have like a close
25:36
Speaker 1: up of the side of his face. Okay before we
25:37
Speaker 1: go onto the next scene. That's a weird place to stop,
25:40
Speaker 1: but I need to because we need to talk about this.
25:42
Speaker 1: Did Shin really hear Lena's voice just then? I think
25:45
Speaker 1: that he did. I mean, I know that he doesn't
25:48
Speaker 1: have a power raid anymore, but he's kind of what
25:51
Speaker 1: the power raid was based on. So maybe he just
25:53
Speaker 1: got when the sun came out, like it was just
25:56
Speaker 1: right and he heard her. I'm not sure, but I
25:58
Speaker 1: don't think he thinks he heard her, especially because he's
26:01
Speaker 1: having these like weird kind of hallucinations or whatever's going on.
26:05
Speaker 1: But I think that he heard her and that basically
26:08
Speaker 1: saved his life. Right then. It's pretty cool, But the
26:11
Speaker 1: rest of this isn't cool. Like Marcel probably shouldn't facilitate
26:16
Speaker 1: Nina giving Shin these notes. Why does Nina even know
26:21
Speaker 1: any of this shit? Like it's not gonna help her.
26:24
Speaker 1: Did Marcel tell her? Like, what the fuck? So I
26:27
Speaker 1: can understand why Shin's mental state is deteriorating so rapidly now,
26:32
Speaker 1: because it was already really bad, but now it's just
26:34
Speaker 1: like a mess. I mean, like an entire fucking mess.
26:39
Speaker 1: And I think if I got that letter after I
26:41
Speaker 1: had mercy killed someone that I cared about, I think
26:44
Speaker 1: it would just destroy me. So I get it. Anyway,
26:49
Speaker 1: Let's go back to what's going on now. So we
26:52
Speaker 1: had that close up shot of the side of his face,
26:54
Speaker 1: and we hear a voice say, you can hear the
26:56
Speaker 1: legions' voices. We cut to a similar shot and in
26:59
Speaker 1: a different location, the voice continues, you know where they are.
27:03
Speaker 1: Shin and Greth are standing like in the office of
27:06
Speaker 1: the eye patch guy whose name is General Richard. I guess,
27:09
Speaker 1: and he says, do I understand that correctly? Shen's like, yes, sir,
27:14
Speaker 1: General Richard says, where are they? Shinn walks over to
27:18
Speaker 1: a map that sound like a big, big screen and
27:21
Speaker 1: he closes his eyes and he just touches the spots.
27:24
Speaker 1: The spot turns red and he just starts scribbling lots
27:27
Speaker 1: of red areas on the map, GREATH Gasps. He is
27:31
Speaker 1: kind of swiping and putting red on the map until
27:35
Speaker 1: he reaches San Magnolia, and General Richard says, forget the Republic.
27:40
Speaker 1: Shin opens his eyes and they widen because remember he
27:43
Speaker 1: didn't realize where he was pointing. General Richard says, that's enough.
27:48
Speaker 1: It seems like you're telling the truth. If you have
27:50
Speaker 1: that ability, you're even more suited for this operation. No,
27:55
Speaker 1: it's quite simple. Our three nations will launch a full
27:58
Speaker 1: assault as a decoy. Shin like walks back over now,
28:02
Speaker 1: and he's just kind of staring down at his hands.
28:05
Speaker 1: General Richard continues, lure the enemy's main forces to their
28:09
Speaker 1: respective fronts and withdraw. The Special Assault Force will then
28:12
Speaker 1: make an aerial entry into Legion territory, which will now
28:16
Speaker 1: be less defended. GREATH Gasps, he continues. They will destroy
28:20
Speaker 1: the Morpho Greth looks pretty upset. He continues, I'm assigning
28:26
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Shine Nosen and the fifteen members of Nordlich to
28:29
Speaker 1: the Special Offensive. We get this weird upside down shot
28:32
Speaker 1: of Shin and his super blank expression, and General Richard says,
28:36
Speaker 1: you'll be the vanguard of the largest joint operation in history.
28:41
Speaker 1: The edge of the spear that pierces the Legion's defenses.
28:45
Speaker 1: Fuck Spearhead, come on, really, you got the same name.
28:50
Speaker 1: Shin winces at that word. He continues, give this your all.
28:54
Speaker 1: Greth says, permission to speak. General General's like, what is it? Wenzel.
29:00
Speaker 1: Greth says, this is a suicide mission for real? Why them?
29:05
Speaker 1: General Richard kind of makes a humph noise, cutting her off,
29:09
Speaker 1: and then says something. But we hear another voice overlaid
29:13
Speaker 1: on top say, because you're eighty six. The window behind
29:17
Speaker 1: Shin brightens and he looks like he understands or notices something,
29:23
Speaker 1: and a voice says, I don't think that's what he's saying.
29:27
Speaker 1: Oh so all the dead Spearhead members are standing behind Shin,
29:32
Speaker 1: and Diyah's like, well, it is what he means. The
29:35
Speaker 1: background of General Richard's office just kind of ends at
29:39
Speaker 1: Shin and just his white past that, and Kujo says,
29:43
Speaker 1: we can't assign anyone with a family to this insane mission. Huh.
29:47
Speaker 1: Someone else is like, I guess eighty six aren't welcome
29:49
Speaker 1: no matter where they go. In the foreground, Greth is yelling,
29:55
Speaker 1: but we cannot hear what she's saying. And then someone
29:58
Speaker 1: who I think is Leka says she knows that, and
30:00
Speaker 1: she's still getting mad she can't change it. Someone else
30:04
Speaker 1: is like, like that princess, I think. Kujo says, I
30:08
Speaker 1: don't know anything about that, and someone else is like, wow,
30:12
Speaker 1: I can hear the Legion's voices all the way to
30:14
Speaker 1: the Republic's capital. A guy with blonde hair says, did
30:18
Speaker 1: the white pigs all die? A black haired kid who
30:21
Speaker 1: at one point I knew his name, says they're on
30:23
Speaker 1: their way to hell. This brown haired kid says, I
30:26
Speaker 1: don't know if hell exists, but it's all the same
30:28
Speaker 1: when you're dead. Dia is like, die is scum or
30:31
Speaker 1: die with pride? And then to Shin, he's like, it's
30:34
Speaker 1: how you live that's important, right, is like we lived
30:37
Speaker 1: with pride right up until the very end, Kujo says,
30:41
Speaker 1: and that was only because of you, Undertaker are reaper.
30:44
Speaker 1: Don't forget that. Thank you. Kujo disappears and is replaced
30:48
Speaker 1: by his little scrap of metal and it clings to
30:51
Speaker 1: the ground, and the rest of them pretty much in unison,
30:54
Speaker 1: thanks Shin, and they become their little metal pieces, and
30:58
Speaker 1: kind of all the ones clattered the ground behind Shin.
31:01
Speaker 1: Shin looks hurt and he says, I'm left behind always.
31:09
Speaker 1: We have a pre close shot of Shin, like his
31:13
Speaker 1: head and maybe a little bit of his chest, and
31:15
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we see the top of Lena's
31:18
Speaker 1: military cap and a little bit of her hair just
31:20
Speaker 1: pass him by, and Lena says, I won't let you die.
31:26
Speaker 1: Shin kind of sighs, totally hurt and says, then I
31:31
Speaker 1: wanted you to live longer than we did. We see
31:34
Speaker 1: Lena continuing to walk away. Her cab is over her
31:36
Speaker 1: eyes so we can't see her face, and she says,
31:39
Speaker 1: don't leave me. She's like, that was my wish. Oh.
31:45
Speaker 1: Lena's feet step into a field of red spider lilies,
31:49
Speaker 1: and the background is just black now besides this red
31:52
Speaker 1: field that Lena is in, But Shin is not in
31:55
Speaker 1: the red field with her, and Lena says, I won't forget.
32:00
Speaker 1: Shin blinks and his eyes widened, and then he looks
32:03
Speaker 1: like he's about to cry like me, and he says Sionada.
32:08
Speaker 1: Red spider lily petals blow past him, and we transition
32:12
Speaker 1: back to now. We see his reflection in the window
32:15
Speaker 1: and it is sunset. The sky is orange and there's
32:19
Speaker 1: little rain droplets kind of on it because it's been
32:21
Speaker 1: raining off and on. His eyes are closed and he
32:23
Speaker 1: almost looks content. And one of the little rain droplets
32:27
Speaker 1: on the window falls down almost in front of his eye,
32:30
Speaker 1: and it looks like he's crying. And we hear General
32:34
Speaker 1: Richard saying someone has to do it in that respect,
32:37
Speaker 1: you have experience in Legion territory. Shin opens his eyes now,
32:41
Speaker 1: but he still looks peaceful, and the General continues, if
32:47
Speaker 1: you've done it once, you can do it again. The
32:49
Speaker 1: Federacy saved you from the battlefield. If you've come back
32:53
Speaker 1: to it, it means you're willing to do this. Grath
32:56
Speaker 1: looks like she wants to fucking kill him. General continues,
33:00
Speaker 1: Or is a soldier's job dying in battle? There's kind
33:03
Speaker 1: of a beat and he rubs his hands together. Is
33:05
Speaker 1: part of the job. Shin like half smirks at this
33:11
Speaker 1: and says, understood. Fuck. We now see a fence passing
33:17
Speaker 1: us by and buildings like we're obviously in a motor vehicle,
33:21
Speaker 1: and it's sunsets, and we hear Greth say, are you disillusioned,
33:25
Speaker 1: lieutenants that the world you ended? Up In was no
33:29
Speaker 1: better than this. I'm a little bit disillusioned. We hear
33:33
Speaker 1: Shin say it's the best illusion to the problem at hand.
33:37
Speaker 1: Without taking now Morpho, no matter what the costs, it'll
33:40
Speaker 1: be difficult for the Federacy to maintain its battle lines. Greth,
33:43
Speaker 1: who is driving this vehicle, says yeah. Shin is looking
33:48
Speaker 1: out the window nod at her, and he's in the backseat.
33:51
Speaker 1: Greath continues, But all we need for this mession is
33:53
Speaker 1: your power. As long as the Morpho is destroyed, I'm
33:57
Speaker 1: allowed to say how this operation is done, said the
34:00
Speaker 1: other foreign units on the mission. You don't have to
34:02
Speaker 1: go yourself. You and your friends have to stay here.
34:07
Speaker 1: Shin's eyes narrow. Greath continues, and when the war is over,
34:12
Speaker 1: quit the military. Shin tightens his fist. You fought more
34:16
Speaker 1: than enough for your homeland, which refused to protect you,
34:19
Speaker 1: So Shin cuts her off. So Greth looks kind of surprised.
34:24
Speaker 1: Shin continues, you want us to see being who we
34:26
Speaker 1: are for your pity and sense of justice. Is that right?
34:30
Speaker 1: He is looking down and we're seeing him through the
34:32
Speaker 1: rear view mirror, so we can't really see his eyes,
34:34
Speaker 1: and he says, I'm grateful that you saved me, but
34:37
Speaker 1: that doesn't give you the right to pity me. It
34:39
Speaker 1: doesn't give you the right to tell me not to
34:41
Speaker 1: fight or run from battle and make someone else fight
34:43
Speaker 1: for me. I refuse to be like the Republic or
34:45
Speaker 1: to turn my eyes from the war until the day
34:47
Speaker 1: the end comes. He raises his hand to his face
34:51
Speaker 1: and he says we but he's cut off by like
34:54
Speaker 1: a car horn beeping and greath has to stop really
34:58
Speaker 1: hard because she almost hits into a truck that is
35:00
Speaker 1: going perpendicular and carrying a bunch of Reagan leaps. Great job, Greth,
35:04
Speaker 1: I get it. Shin was talking a lot, which is
35:07
Speaker 1: not normal anyway, She's trying to collect herself and then
35:10
Speaker 1: she hears the door open and Shin says, there may
35:13
Speaker 1: be a time lag that causes the mission to fail.
35:15
Speaker 1: I'll take direct command of the assault team. He gets
35:18
Speaker 1: out and closes to the door. Greth looks kind of hurt,
35:22
Speaker 1: which I don't know. Man. We see Ernst in his
35:26
Speaker 1: office and like a blonde guy's in front of him,
35:29
Speaker 1: and it looks like Ernst is looking at like a
35:30
Speaker 1: report or something, and actually no, it is like all
35:34
Speaker 1: the spearhead's profiles again, and we see that under Sin's
35:38
Speaker 1: picture it just says psychics, like in a big red box. Hey,
35:43
Speaker 1: Ernest says, I guess we can't keep quiet about it
35:46
Speaker 1: any longer. He puts his hand on his head. We
35:49
Speaker 1: see a window now it's dark outside and raining, and
35:53
Speaker 1: that black haired guy from earlier's reflection is in it,
35:56
Speaker 1: and he says, I'm sorry for making you the hard job. General.
35:59
Speaker 1: He is in General Richard's office, and General Richard says,
36:03
Speaker 1: it's fine. This is a division commander's responsibility. He stands
36:07
Speaker 1: and he looks at a map and sighs. Do you
36:09
Speaker 1: think he'll be able to come back? Even alone? So
36:13
Speaker 1: we just care about chin, I guess, the black haired
36:16
Speaker 1: guy says. Strategic planning HQ says the odds of survival
36:19
Speaker 1: are close to zero. Soldiers would be furious if one
36:22
Speaker 1: of their friends was sent out on a mission like that,
36:24
Speaker 1: but they'll accept it if we send the Republic's monsters. Fuck.
36:28
Speaker 1: We got to Shin, who is sitting in his room
36:31
Speaker 1: on the couch, and the note is open on his
36:34
Speaker 1: desks next to him, and that red light from the
36:37
Speaker 1: top of the tower is like pulsing in the background,
36:40
Speaker 1: and we hear the black haired guy say they'll smirk
36:43
Speaker 1: and say it's an appropriate mission for the eighty six fuck.
36:47
Speaker 1: Shin is holding raise little piece of scrap metal in
36:50
Speaker 1: his hand, and the black haired guy continues, if you're
36:54
Speaker 1: a match for a monster, that means you're a monster yourself. Yeah.
36:57
Speaker 1: So Shin is smiling again, like in the worst way.
37:00
Speaker 1: You can smile again, but this one kind of looks
37:03
Speaker 1: like I would interpret it as the smile that you
37:06
Speaker 1: have when the world is about to end. But it's
37:08
Speaker 1: pretty funny that it's gonna end this way. And the
37:10
Speaker 1: black haired guy continues, if death is so attractive to them,
37:14
Speaker 1: then why don't we let them have it. I don't
37:17
Speaker 1: think they ever said it was black haired guy that
37:19
Speaker 1: I don't know your name. We see the note now,
37:22
Speaker 1: which is just a drawing this time of what I
37:25
Speaker 1: assume is a mech but I don't really know. It
37:27
Speaker 1: looks like a triangle, like a really big greenish triangle,
37:30
Speaker 1: but around it are lots of little red stick figures
37:33
Speaker 1: that are clearly supposed to be dead bodies. What the fuck, Nina.
37:37
Speaker 1: We get to a map showing the path that Nordlich
37:39
Speaker 1: will take to mor Fo and then to theo Karina
37:43
Speaker 1: and what looks like a bunch of other people sitting
37:45
Speaker 1: around them in a dark room. It's September two, twenty one,
37:48
Speaker 1: forty nine. Everyone is just staring blankly at like, I
37:52
Speaker 1: guess the screen in the front. Greth, who is standing
37:55
Speaker 1: at the front of the room, says, any questions, Yeah,
37:59
Speaker 1: it's dead silence. We cut to them leaving and someone
38:04
Speaker 1: slamming their fists into the wall. I think it was Greth,
38:06
Speaker 1: but like I wasn't really sure, and then only Spearhead
38:10
Speaker 1: and Bernholdt are left. There's another guy still in there,
38:13
Speaker 1: but he's getting up to leave, and Bernholdt says, Commander,
38:16
Speaker 1: I appreciate you not abandoning us, but I can't watch
38:19
Speaker 1: kids at the age of my and my relative's children
38:22
Speaker 1: going off to die. If you change your mind, that's fine,
38:26
Speaker 1: tell us to go without you. Shin closes his eyes
38:29
Speaker 1: and says nothing. Burnholdt just sighs, stands and leaves. So
38:34
Speaker 1: only Spearhead is left in the room. Right in size Well,
38:38
Speaker 1: it's a bad enough plan that they're saying that. They
38:41
Speaker 1: all kind of chuckle. Shin's like the Lieutenant Colonel said,
38:44
Speaker 1: we're free to refuse. Krana is like, no way if
38:48
Speaker 1: we run now, we're no different than the white pigs.
38:50
Speaker 1: Angie's like, you snapped it her too, right, We feel
38:54
Speaker 1: the same way. THEO stretches, but we were chosen for
38:57
Speaker 1: the most dangerous part because where he's six right right
39:01
Speaker 1: and stands right, Anju and Karna also stand and Theo's like, well,
39:06
Speaker 1: we're going because we're eighty six. Yeah, everyone except for
39:10
Speaker 1: Shin starts to walk out. THEO says, but I feel
39:14
Speaker 1: kind of lonely. They all look a little bit sad
39:16
Speaker 1: and right, and it's like, yeah, Shin is just still
39:19
Speaker 1: sitting and right, and it's like Shin. Karina says, let's
39:23
Speaker 1: go eat. Shin looks up and AND's like, what's for
39:26
Speaker 1: dinner today? THEO says, I want something hot. This place
39:29
Speaker 1: is so cold. Shin stands up and goes to catch
39:32
Speaker 1: up with them, and A's like right right, and says
39:35
Speaker 1: you think, And A's like it's too cold for girls.
39:38
Speaker 1: Theo's like what and they all laugh. Let me go
39:41
Speaker 1: the ending theme, So this time we have Shin standing.
39:45
Speaker 1: His head is cut off by the way as the
39:47
Speaker 1: pieces of metal fall behind him, and he's red and
39:49
Speaker 1: the pieces are blue. And then we go to Lena
39:53
Speaker 1: standing in the red flower field which is white now
39:55
Speaker 1: and she's blue and Shin is standing outside it and
39:58
Speaker 1: he's red. And let me go to black screen and
40:01
Speaker 1: we're still in the ending theme, but we go back
40:03
Speaker 1: to normal pictures. First we're looking through a cracked window
40:07
Speaker 1: at the destruction of I think District one. Then we
40:11
Speaker 1: get a shot of that street that Lena's always at,
40:13
Speaker 1: just fucked the fuck up. Then that sign that says
40:17
Speaker 1: eighty six day away. Then the memorial that Lena was
40:21
Speaker 1: out when you talked to Shin just destroyed and there's
40:24
Speaker 1: like dead eighty six like on the ground and fucked
40:27
Speaker 1: up juggernauts. He cuts to some crumbly looking statues, and
40:32
Speaker 1: then we go to Lina's bedroom. The windows are broken
40:35
Speaker 1: and the curtains are torn, but that's clear box with
40:39
Speaker 1: all the little faces in it. It's still there. It's
40:42
Speaker 1: September second, twenty one, forty nine. And then we see
40:45
Speaker 1: the next episode title card special visual commentary episode which
40:49
Speaker 1: we will not watch because I don't think I have
40:51
Speaker 1: access to it. And that's the end of the episode. Hooray.
40:55
Speaker 1: I guess. So closing thoughts, yeah, they're just being put
41:00
Speaker 1: right back in the most dangerous mission again because they're Spearhead,
41:04
Speaker 1: because they're eighty six, just fucking stupid. I mean, I
41:07
Speaker 1: get it, I get why they're the group that's chosen,
41:10
Speaker 1: they are the most skilled, but fucking really, really really,
41:17
Speaker 1: I'll say it one more time. Really it's just the
41:20
Speaker 1: same thing over and over again for these kids. And
41:23
Speaker 1: I get it, like they don't want to turn this
41:26
Speaker 1: down because I can't even imagine being in a place
41:29
Speaker 1: where you know you're the most skilled person and you
41:32
Speaker 1: know that if someone else goes for you, which they could,
41:36
Speaker 1: you're basically sending them to die. I totally respect them
41:41
Speaker 1: for being like, no, I'm not going to metaphorically sign
41:46
Speaker 1: someone's like death lawrant basically by deciding that I don't
41:50
Speaker 1: want to do this, it's not fair. I mean it's
41:53
Speaker 1: not fair to them either, But to deflect that horror
41:58
Speaker 1: onto another human being is just really really shitty. And
42:03
Speaker 1: they're better than that, and they know that they are,
42:05
Speaker 1: so they can't back out. But it's not fair. But
42:09
Speaker 1: what I think I really wanted to talk about is
42:12
Speaker 1: what's going on with Shin I mean, we obviously you
42:15
Speaker 1: know what's going on with Shin not good things. But
42:21
Speaker 1: I think what's happening and what's been happening with Shin
42:24
Speaker 1: and why he's kind of quiet all the time is
42:26
Speaker 1: I think he's just straight up dissociating a lot of
42:29
Speaker 1: the time, and that's why he appears not to be listening,
42:34
Speaker 1: because that's definitely what he was doing when General Richards
42:37
Speaker 1: was telling him, like, we're gonna go, let you guys die,
42:40
Speaker 1: he was not really there anymore. I mean, I feel
42:43
Speaker 1: like there's a there's probably a specific disorder that he's doing.
42:47
Speaker 1: There's I know, there's that one disorder where like you
42:51
Speaker 1: have that really specific like inner world, you know, like
42:54
Speaker 1: you have a really good imagination, but in a way
42:56
Speaker 1: that it is disruptive. I just look that up. It
42:59
Speaker 1: is called malady aptive daydreaming, like you're using daydreaming too
43:04
Speaker 1: much and it's a coping mechanism. So I think there's
43:07
Speaker 1: kind of a little of each maybe going on in there,
43:10
Speaker 1: where like he's just not there a lot of the time,
43:14
Speaker 1: which makes sense. I mean, that's kind of what we've seen.
43:17
Speaker 1: A lot of the time, he's just not present in
43:20
Speaker 1: the moments and it's just getting worse now because I
43:25
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's sad because all of his like
43:28
Speaker 1: weird dissociative states are maladaptive daydreaming states are like super mean,
43:33
Speaker 1: you know, I mean not all of The one that
43:36
Speaker 1: we saw today when he was in the office was
43:39
Speaker 1: less mean than the other ones, where like he saw
43:42
Speaker 1: Nina basically telling him like why did you let my
43:45
Speaker 1: brother die and shit like that, and people being really
43:47
Speaker 1: nasty to him. That kind of sucks, but it was
43:50
Speaker 1: kind of nice, like he almost got some closure in
43:53
Speaker 1: the one in the office where like he let go
43:57
Speaker 1: of Lena, which is really really sad because I don't
44:00
Speaker 1: even know if she's dead, but he like let her
44:03
Speaker 1: go and resigned himself to being in the situation that
44:08
Speaker 1: he's always in, being the Reaper. You know, it sucks,
44:13
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think a lot of his kind of
44:16
Speaker 1: like nothingy personality and what we saw obviously when he
44:20
Speaker 1: was in the Juggernaut, uh the Reagan Leaf last time,
44:23
Speaker 1: where he like didn't even notice he got hurt and stuff.
44:26
Speaker 1: He's like not really there, you know, he needs to
44:29
Speaker 1: not be there. He needs to separate himself because this
44:31
Speaker 1: is just too traumatic at this point, So that's what
44:37
Speaker 1: I think is going on with Shin. I also wanted
44:39
Speaker 1: to point out during that whatever the hell when he
44:42
Speaker 1: was with the other members, the dead members of Spearhead,
44:45
Speaker 1: and he said that he's always alone, and then also
44:49
Speaker 1: earlier when THEO said, oh, you must be like really tired.
44:53
Speaker 1: I bet they're like really chatty because there's a lot
44:54
Speaker 1: of them. I realized that, like the rest of Living,
44:58
Speaker 1: Spearhead doesn't have have that deep, horrible camaraderie that they
45:03
Speaker 1: used to have with Shin where they could hear all
45:05
Speaker 1: of the shit he was going through all the time.
45:07
Speaker 1: It's over because there's no more power aid, so he
45:10
Speaker 1: is truly alone in his experience again, which probably feels
45:15
Speaker 1: really bad because he's always alone. He's always the last one,
45:19
Speaker 1: and he's afraid he's gonna be the last one again,
45:21
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to be. He doesn't want to
45:23
Speaker 1: be the one that keeps living when everyone he loves dies,
45:27
Speaker 1: So everything's just a mess. I'm not sure he wants
45:30
Speaker 1: to keep living anyway. So I think that's all I
45:35
Speaker 1: got for this week. I'm real pissed off because I
45:38
Speaker 1: was trying to get in touch with the doctor for
45:39
Speaker 1: like three weeks and she was like, I don't know.
45:41
Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with you. Thanks, that's not
45:44
Speaker 1: very helpful anyway. I will something again next week, I hope,
45:50
Speaker 1: and I hope you have a really good whatever. Yeah,
45:54
Speaker 1: I do later weeps
