86 [Eighty-Six] Ep. 6- Through to the End · Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

0:00
Speaker 1: Hey, it's your person, Michelle coming to from a new computer.
0:03
Speaker 1: So I have no idea if this is gonna sound Okay.
0:06
Speaker 1: It's the same microphone, the same interface. It's just a
0:09
Speaker 1: new computer because the last one had a really bad
0:13
Speaker 1: day on Friday. Not this past Friday for you, but
0:16
Speaker 1: two Fridays ago. In the morning, it just decided that
0:19
Speaker 1: it didn't know what the Internet was anymore. And I
0:22
Speaker 1: don't mean that it couldn't find my WiFi. It just
0:25
Speaker 1: couldn't find a way to connect to Wi Fi. Like
0:28
Speaker 1: there's no option anymore. It's just gone. And then I
0:32
Speaker 1: like have a little thing that I plugged into the
0:34
Speaker 1: USB or whatever that thing is so that it could
0:37
Speaker 1: work with internet, because this happened once before, like a
0:40
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. But then it healed itself, so
0:43
Speaker 1: I was on the internet. I was like, that's cool,
0:45
Speaker 1: let me start working. So I went to use my keyboard,
0:49
Speaker 1: and it's not the original keyboard that came with the computer,
0:52
Speaker 1: because my computer stopped recognizing it like two years ago.
0:55
Speaker 1: It just forgot that it had a keyboard, so I
0:58
Speaker 1: had to buy a Bluetooth keyboard tooth mouse. No problem
1:01
Speaker 1: for like two years, but then it just decided on
1:05
Speaker 1: Friday that it doesn't know what that is anymore, and
1:08
Speaker 1: I mean Bluetooth, not the keyboard. It doesn't understand Bluetooth.
1:12
Speaker 1: There's no way to connect things because you can't even
1:15
Speaker 1: find Bluetooth in the menu anymore. So that was bad.
1:19
Speaker 1: And then it also decided it didn't go to sleep anymore.
1:25
Speaker 1: It just would stay on for hours and hours and hours.
1:28
Speaker 1: And I know because I tried, and even if I
1:31
Speaker 1: pressed the button, because it was like a surface pro,
1:34
Speaker 1: it wouldn't go to sleep. It could only go off
1:37
Speaker 1: if I wanted, which isn't exactly what I wanted because
1:40
Speaker 1: I was trying to use it. And then also it
1:43
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out how to get on Chrome for a
1:45
Speaker 1: little while. And also I can't use things on Chrome anymore,
1:49
Speaker 1: a lot of things because of how outdated Chrome is,
1:51
Speaker 1: because of how outdated my system is. So I thought
1:55
Speaker 1: it's probably time. If I ever want to work again,
1:57
Speaker 1: I probably need to buy a new computer. So I did,
2:01
Speaker 1: and it cost me some money, and it made me
2:03
Speaker 1: really really sad, because I don't like spending money. I'd
2:08
Speaker 1: like to say that also I have fond memories of
2:10
Speaker 1: the last computer, but honestly, it's been like two years
2:14
Speaker 1: of just hell with it, so I really don't and
2:18
Speaker 1: that makes me feel bad. But yeah, you don't care.
2:23
Speaker 1: It's fine that you don't care. You shouldn't care. This
2:26
Speaker 1: is this is not very interesting. We're gonna talk about
2:30
Speaker 1: eighty six, but before we do, it is the beginning
2:33
Speaker 1: of the spring season, and I just wanted to quickly
2:37
Speaker 1: share with you some anime that exists right now that
2:40
Speaker 1: you could watch if you wanted to, if you trust
2:43
Speaker 1: my opinions on it, which maybe you shouldn't. Anyway. The
2:48
Speaker 1: first thing that got me really excited because for some reason,
2:51
Speaker 1: I forgot that it was coming back this season is
2:53
Speaker 1: Windbreaker season two. Yay, we covered that a couple of
2:58
Speaker 1: things ago, remember with Soaka and him fighting and stuff.
3:03
Speaker 1: Good shit, I guess, so far, so good. I've only
3:06
Speaker 1: seen the first episode because I'm still kind of just
3:09
Speaker 1: at the beginning of week two when I'm recording this,
3:12
Speaker 1: but I really like the first episode. We go right
3:14
Speaker 1: into a big fight with that gang that I can't
3:17
Speaker 1: remember what they're called right now. And also it was
3:21
Speaker 1: just like nice and comforting for me because Sokaa has
3:24
Speaker 1: the same voice actor as ash Links from Banana Fish,
3:30
Speaker 1: so it just made me feel a little better. The
3:33
Speaker 1: voice actor in question is Yuma Ochieta, and they don't
3:36
Speaker 1: sound alike at all, honestly, but not as far apart
3:40
Speaker 1: as the other voice actor that Windbreaker has in common
3:44
Speaker 1: with stuff we watched or are currently watching because Nine's
3:47
Speaker 1: voice actor, Sho Yachiba is Shin's voice actor as well,
3:52
Speaker 1: and I know I said that already, but it's kind
3:54
Speaker 1: of cool. It's like having a little reunion when I
3:56
Speaker 1: watch Windbreaker. Also, Sho Yachiba does a great job, I guess,
4:00
Speaker 1: because like he didn't sound anything like Shinn in Windbreaker
4:03
Speaker 1: at all. So yeay, now you know, so go watch
4:08
Speaker 1: Windbreaker season two or don't whatever. Other than that, my
4:13
Speaker 1: hero Academia Vigilantes started up, which I watched the first
4:16
Speaker 1: episode and it was totally fine if you like that
4:19
Speaker 1: kind of thing, which I don't know that I do,
4:21
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna watch it for a little while and
4:22
Speaker 1: see what happens. Also, Rock is a Lady's Modesty just
4:27
Speaker 1: started and I kind of liked the first episode. It's
4:30
Speaker 1: about a like high school student girl going to an
4:33
Speaker 1: all girls' school trying to be really proper, so she
4:36
Speaker 1: can get like like the top honors in the school
4:40
Speaker 1: or whatever, but she like secretly loves to play guitar.
4:43
Speaker 1: And then she meets another student that loves to play
4:45
Speaker 1: the trums. Oh something like that. I don't know. It
4:48
Speaker 1: was pretty well done. I don't like the use of
4:51
Speaker 1: computer animation in the you know scenes where they're playing instruments,
4:55
Speaker 1: but I don't know what else I could really expect.
4:57
Speaker 1: I don't think that this is like a super high
4:59
Speaker 1: budget project. So yeah. Also, and I guess the only
5:02
Speaker 1: other thing I wanted to mention was Lazarus. You know Lazarus.
5:08
Speaker 1: It's airing on Adult Swim. You can stream it on Max.
5:12
Speaker 1: That started, And the reason you might have heard about
5:16
Speaker 1: it is because the creator is Shinichiro Watanabe, who is
5:21
Speaker 1: the creator of a lot of cool things and some
5:24
Speaker 1: stuff that's not so cool, cool things being Cowboy, Bebop, Samurai,
5:29
Speaker 1: Champlu and Space Standy. Anyway, everybody got really excited because
5:34
Speaker 1: he's kind of a big deal and that kind of stuff,
5:36
Speaker 1: and it's about like some scientists and he makes like
5:42
Speaker 1: a drug, but then the drug is gonna kill everybody
5:44
Speaker 1: in thirty days, and you gotta find the scientist or
5:46
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna die. I guess he has the antidote, but
5:49
Speaker 1: he's not gonna give it to anybody unless they find him.
5:51
Speaker 1: I guess so far a plot is hmm, not really
5:54
Speaker 1: sure that that's how things work. The really unfortunate thing
5:57
Speaker 1: about this so far is that for some reason, Max
6:00
Speaker 1: has decided to only release the dub for the first month,
6:05
Speaker 1: so the Japanese audio with subtitles is delayed. So I
6:09
Speaker 1: tried to watch the first episode dubbed, and the dub
6:12
Speaker 1: is not good. Guys, Like, it's really not good, at
6:14
Speaker 1: least in my opinion. I don't really like dubs though,
6:17
Speaker 1: so if you do, maybe you'll think it's fine. Just
6:20
Speaker 1: the language feels really stilted. It's kind of awkward, and
6:23
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the script or if that's
6:25
Speaker 1: the dub. So yeah, of course it is airing in
6:31
Speaker 1: Japan as well, so there is a Japanese language version,
6:36
Speaker 1: the original one in existence that you could probably find,
6:40
Speaker 1: but you can't, as far as I could tell, watch
6:43
Speaker 1: it legally in the US. So kind of sucks. But
6:48
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it. I'll stop talking about these things
6:52
Speaker 1: if itit's weird. It took me a while to set
6:54
Speaker 1: up my program that I'm recording through again, because it's
6:58
Speaker 1: the same program but in a new computer, which means
7:00
Speaker 1: it works differently because my computer's operating system is so
7:04
Speaker 1: much newer than the last one, so everything's different and
7:06
Speaker 1: usually in a bad way. So again, hope this is
7:09
Speaker 1: recording okay, and you can hear me because the wave
7:11
Speaker 1: forms look real tiny. But I haven't changed anything, so
7:14
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out when I've done with this what
7:17
Speaker 1: I fucked up. Anyway, let's talk about eighty six, episode
7:22
Speaker 1: six through to the end, and if you remember the
7:26
Speaker 1: end of the last episode, Shin was just in the
7:30
Speaker 1: bathroom telling his brother he's coming, making me really uncomfortable.
7:35
Speaker 1: So we start not there at all. We start on
7:38
Speaker 1: December seventeenth, twenty one forty four, so like four and
7:43
Speaker 1: a half years ago. We're looking at this like really
7:46
Speaker 1: cracked clock tower. There's like snow resting on the hands
7:51
Speaker 1: of it, and it reads four seventeen, and it looks
7:55
Speaker 1: like this town is abandoned. So I don't know if
7:57
Speaker 1: the clock is still working and it's really four seventeen
8:00
Speaker 1: or it's just four seventeen all the time. It doesn't matter,
8:03
Speaker 1: but it is really really like snowy and windy out
8:07
Speaker 1: it's blizzard conditions, and some snow like drops from one
8:11
Speaker 1: of the hands and lands on the leg of like
8:14
Speaker 1: a really destroyed mech And I don't know if it's
8:16
Speaker 1: Legion or if it's a Juggernaut. I couldn't really tell.
8:19
Speaker 1: And as we get like a better shot, we see
8:21
Speaker 1: that there's just wreckage from like juggernauts just scattered all
8:26
Speaker 1: over the ground, and the buildings are crumbling in the background,
8:31
Speaker 1: and we're kind of pulling back and we see that
8:32
Speaker 1: we're looking at this scene through like a hole in
8:35
Speaker 1: like the side of a building, and then a Juggernaut
8:38
Speaker 1: crashes to the ground. We see I guess we're inside
8:41
Speaker 1: a like a domed building that looks kind of like
8:44
Speaker 1: a library. I think it is a library. It's got
8:46
Speaker 1: lots and lots of books, and the like color palette
8:50
Speaker 1: is kind of like muted, like it's kind of dusty
8:55
Speaker 1: and dark, and I'm trying to figure out how to
8:57
Speaker 1: explain this. You know, when it snows, if you don't
9:00
Speaker 1: have your light's on in the house or something or
9:02
Speaker 1: in a place, kind of like this eerie whitish color
9:06
Speaker 1: like the light isn't quite normal because it's bouncing off
9:09
Speaker 1: of the snow, so everything just looks a little different
9:12
Speaker 1: color wise, And this is kind of how this library looks.
9:16
Speaker 1: I don't know how they did that, but I think
9:18
Speaker 1: it's perfect. Honestly. It almost feels like peaceful. Like it's
9:22
Speaker 1: very very quiet. You know, the snow is muffling things.
9:27
Speaker 1: I mean we're inside as well, so it's silence, but
9:29
Speaker 1: everything just feels more quiet than usual. So the cockpit
9:33
Speaker 1: of this juggernaut opens and we see Shin get out,
9:37
Speaker 1: except he's significantly younger, but we can tell it's him,
9:39
Speaker 1: like he has the same color hair and eyes, which
9:42
Speaker 1: is kind of unique. I don't really think we've seen
9:44
Speaker 1: another character that has like red eyes, but it's clearly him.
9:48
Speaker 1: You know, he's got a bandana on and everything. Anyway,
9:51
Speaker 1: he gets out of the juggernaut and his breath condenses
9:54
Speaker 1: in the air because it's really super cold in there.
9:57
Speaker 1: And he looks around and there's like books scatter all
10:00
Speaker 1: over the floor, and we see at least two dead
10:03
Speaker 1: people on the floor, like kind of old dead. You know.
10:07
Speaker 1: They don't have like skeletons, but they don't look gross.
10:10
Speaker 1: They just look like inanimate objects. I don't know how
10:13
Speaker 1: to explain it. They're just part of the background. It's sad,
10:18
Speaker 1: I guess it's the right word. Anyway. He takes deep
10:21
Speaker 1: breath and it again condenses in front of him, and
10:25
Speaker 1: then we kind of get this shot of him down
10:28
Speaker 1: the hallway, you know, before this giant great room, but
10:32
Speaker 1: looking towards Shin, and then the camera like rushes towards
10:37
Speaker 1: him and there's kind of like a slam. It startles
10:39
Speaker 1: him and he turns. At some point I guess he
10:42
Speaker 1: leaves the building. He walks outside. It's kind of a
10:46
Speaker 1: big kind of porch, you know, grandiose area out front,
10:51
Speaker 1: and we see that the storm is dying down. It's
10:53
Speaker 1: still snowing a little bit, but it's not windy anymore,
10:56
Speaker 1: and the clouds are kind of dispersing, so the moon
11:00
Speaker 1: is peeking through and moonlight is hitting the steps in
11:03
Speaker 1: front of the you know, porch area or patio or
11:06
Speaker 1: whatever it is, and also the columns of this like
11:11
Speaker 1: really ornate library. Shin looks around. Next we see him
11:16
Speaker 1: walking through the snow and like between these kind of
11:20
Speaker 1: bombed out buildings and then crawling up a pile of rubble,
11:23
Speaker 1: like breathing really hard. He pauses at the top, and
11:28
Speaker 1: ahead of him there's this decaying church, you know, the
11:33
Speaker 1: top is kind of missing, and right in front of
11:37
Speaker 1: the church there is a juggernaut, just kind of framed
11:40
Speaker 1: in the moonlight. He throws off the blanket that he's
11:42
Speaker 1: been wearing, which I didn't say he was, but he
11:44
Speaker 1: was wearing a blanket over his jacket because it's cold,
11:47
Speaker 1: and he puts down his rifle and he starts to
11:50
Speaker 1: walk towards the church. He gets to the juggernaut and
11:54
Speaker 1: the cockpit is open, I think, like the front of
11:57
Speaker 1: the cockpit has just been blown off, like it doesn't
12:00
Speaker 1: clothes anymore, and there is a person still inside. We
12:04
Speaker 1: only see the bottom half of them at first, but
12:07
Speaker 1: we can see like their hands and stuff, and they're
12:09
Speaker 1: just very clearly dead, like you can tell that they're
12:13
Speaker 1: kind of starting to decay a little bit, like their
12:16
Speaker 1: hands just don't look right anymore. We cut to the
12:20
Speaker 1: side of this juggernaut, this destroyed juggernaut, and it has
12:25
Speaker 1: an insignia on it with a headless night, which means
12:29
Speaker 1: it's rays. Shin is just kind of staring at it,
12:33
Speaker 1: and we see his scar really prominently on his neck.
12:37
Speaker 1: And then we cut back to it seeing the full
12:40
Speaker 1: kind of cabin now, and we see that the driver
12:44
Speaker 1: has no head. As I just said, it doesn't look
12:47
Speaker 1: like he's fresh dead. You know, everything just looks kind
12:51
Speaker 1: of old, like he's kind of shriveled. And you know,
12:55
Speaker 1: we don't really see any gore or anything. It's just there.
13:00
Speaker 1: It's just nothing there. And the pilot's most likely Ray
13:05
Speaker 1: swearing a jacket, because they do, and it's just kind
13:08
Speaker 1: of blowing in the wind because the person wearing it
13:12
Speaker 1: isn't the same volume that they used to be, like
13:15
Speaker 1: they were withered away, so it's just kind of freely blowing,
13:21
Speaker 1: and Chinn says, brother, I'm gonna go to the opening theme. Yay.
13:27
Speaker 1: First I wanted to say, then the opening theme, there
13:29
Speaker 1: were six people with the red flowers, the red spider lilies,
13:33
Speaker 1: and I wasn't sure who the other two were because
13:35
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they're new, so that made me a
13:37
Speaker 1: little bit concerned. The other thing I wanted to say
13:40
Speaker 1: is that I loved that opening scene. It was beautiful,
13:44
Speaker 1: it was quiet, It was exactly what it needed to be,
13:47
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't like super sad. It was just
13:50
Speaker 1: kind of like what I'm saying sad. I mean, like
13:52
Speaker 1: I don't feel like someone would cry to it. It
13:54
Speaker 1: just feels like empty and just the right way I think.
13:58
Speaker 1: Or it could just be wrong. And I'm just making
14:00
Speaker 1: things up as I go along because it's all just
14:02
Speaker 1: coming out of my head. I don't know what's happening anyway.
14:06
Speaker 1: Back from the opening, it is July twenty seventh, twenty
14:09
Speaker 1: one forty eight, so present day, present time, and we
14:13
Speaker 1: are looking from above at a like cracked asphalt road
14:18
Speaker 1: with some trees on the sides of it, and there's
14:21
Speaker 1: cicadas screaming in the background, and someone says it's so hot.
14:27
Speaker 1: Someone else says, stop, you'll make me feel hot too.
14:31
Speaker 1: We're looking down the road now when there's a group
14:33
Speaker 1: of silhouetted figures approaching. I thought that they were just people,
14:37
Speaker 1: but they're Juggernauts, So I'm just gonna tell you that
14:39
Speaker 1: now so it's not confusing. And behind these silhouetted juggernauts
14:44
Speaker 1: is an abandoned city, like looming in the haze, and
14:47
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to tell who everybody is because
14:50
Speaker 1: we're just seeing shots of the outsides of things, but
14:53
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'm right about some of these. Anyway.
14:55
Speaker 1: THEO says it is hot though, and riding's like it's summertime.
15:01
Speaker 1: Somebody else says I'm taking off my clothes and Krana
15:05
Speaker 1: is like, no, you're not, and whoever that was like laughs,
15:09
Speaker 1: and then somebody else says, you know, the saying shintol
15:13
Speaker 1: mechchaku sure bar or whatever, and THEO says that sounds
15:17
Speaker 1: like something Kaye would say. Someone else is like, shintel mechkyaku.
15:22
Speaker 1: So I'll pause there and tell you that I looked
15:24
Speaker 1: up that saying to see what it was, and it
15:25
Speaker 1: is basically translates to something like when your mind is empty,
15:30
Speaker 1: or when you clear your mind, even fire is cool.
15:34
Speaker 1: There you go, I guess that works anyway. We see
15:37
Speaker 1: Daya in his juggernauts, so I know it's him, and
15:40
Speaker 1: he's like, this is the spot outside on the road.
15:43
Speaker 1: There are like these two like oil drum barbecues. One
15:47
Speaker 1: of them is like falling over and there's like a box,
15:50
Speaker 1: and then some like scattered supplies and stuff. And Andrew says,
15:54
Speaker 1: where we went to look at the flowers. I remember
15:57
Speaker 1: dayas like we did it right after we got deployed.
15:59
Speaker 1: Here we see the Juggernauts, you know, walking up to
16:02
Speaker 1: this area, and Daya continues, would you like to dance again?
16:05
Speaker 1: On ji on? Jee's like, we're just about to start
16:08
Speaker 1: battle Daya and Diya's like right, and they all laugh
16:13
Speaker 1: because Dia is pathetic. Now we are in the same area,
16:18
Speaker 1: but in a different scene. The trees that were just
16:21
Speaker 1: green a minute ago are now covered in cherry blossoms
16:24
Speaker 1: and there are some Juggernauts sitting under them. And it's
16:28
Speaker 1: now April fifth, twenty one, forty eight, so just like
16:32
Speaker 1: three and a half months ago. Kaye and Karna are
16:34
Speaker 1: walking like carrying some boxes and Kaye says, I'm from
16:38
Speaker 1: LUs Kena. Karina says I was with Shin before too,
16:43
Speaker 1: and riding It's like set it here we see a
16:45
Speaker 1: bunch of food and buy food I just mean meats
16:48
Speaker 1: and some other objects like cooler and stuff on the ground,
16:52
Speaker 1: and someone off screen sets down like a kind of
16:55
Speaker 1: like box full of like bottles of water, like individual
16:58
Speaker 1: bottles of water, and so got it how to toe,
17:01
Speaker 1: I think, says what unit are you from? Someone else
17:05
Speaker 1: says scale you. Somebody says loose Kena. Someone else says, really,
17:10
Speaker 1: we don't see any of these people, so it's really
17:12
Speaker 1: hard for me to tell because I don't know all
17:14
Speaker 1: of their voices. While this is happening, though, we were
17:16
Speaker 1: focused on Daya, who is just kind of blankly staring
17:19
Speaker 1: with a cup to his mouth, and how to Toe,
17:22
Speaker 1: I believe, says what about you, Daya. Kun Dya looks
17:25
Speaker 1: over at hot to Toe and there's some other guy
17:28
Speaker 1: there too, were like dark, I think, like black hair,
17:31
Speaker 1: and he says, just call me Dya claymore in my case,
17:35
Speaker 1: how to Toe's like what y're in? The other guy
17:38
Speaker 1: says fourth year and how to toes like, oh, me too,
17:43
Speaker 1: and the guy says most people here are fourth years.
17:46
Speaker 1: We got to a wider shot and we kind of
17:47
Speaker 1: see all of the Spearhead Squadron people and it's evening
17:52
Speaker 1: and the area is lit by like a street light
17:55
Speaker 1: or maybe a flood light, because the street light would
17:57
Speaker 1: be kind of weird because I don't know why they
17:59
Speaker 1: have power here, but anyway, some of them have birthday
18:02
Speaker 1: hats on, and it just struck me like how many
18:05
Speaker 1: kids there are here versus how many we have now,
18:08
Speaker 1: So that was a little upsetting anyway. The guy next
18:13
Speaker 1: to how To To says that's the one thing the
18:15
Speaker 1: sequel about us. How To To leans over to him
18:17
Speaker 1: and says, any girls, you got your eye on. The
18:20
Speaker 1: guy's like, you're asking me that after we just met. Diya,
18:24
Speaker 1: who is sitting with them too, points and is like her,
18:27
Speaker 1: maybe you two seems close, and how is like yeah,
18:31
Speaker 1: and the guy says, no, I'm not telling how Toto says,
18:34
Speaker 1: why you like keeping secrets? Diya is like, no more
18:37
Speaker 1: secrets from anyone. How To Too says that's right. Diat
18:41
Speaker 1: is nothing but stared on you all day. It's obvious.
18:43
Speaker 1: He likes her. Dia gasps and strusts him. Everyone knows, Dia,
18:47
Speaker 1: you're very obvious anyway. How Toto laughs, and Kujo and
18:51
Speaker 1: THEO are kind of like approaching them, and Kujo says,
18:54
Speaker 1: you guys seem like you're having a good time. They
18:56
Speaker 1: look over at them and Theo's like, die, you're embarrassing us.
19:00
Speaker 1: Diya says, shut up and help. Theo's eyes narrow and
19:03
Speaker 1: he turns to the group. Hey, Diya says he wants
19:06
Speaker 1: to talk to Anju. Dia jumps and he puts his
19:09
Speaker 1: hands over Theo's mouth, and he's like THEO right in
19:13
Speaker 1: chuckles and everyone looks over. Good job THEO. Dia is
19:17
Speaker 1: shaking and THEO like smirks, and Diya's like please no,
19:22
Speaker 1: but it's too late. Au walks up and she's like,
19:25
Speaker 1: did you call me Dia? Diya winces and turns to her. No,
19:29
Speaker 1: it's not like that, and one of the girls is like, then,
19:33
Speaker 1: what's it like. Diya is like now like panicking, and
19:37
Speaker 1: he's like, uh, well, it's kind of like a sausage
19:41
Speaker 1: fest over here, so I thought, And he's like laughing
19:43
Speaker 1: because he doesn't know what to say next, and Andre
19:46
Speaker 1: just like smiles politely as he freaks out. And Kujo's like, hey,
19:51
Speaker 1: speaking of sausage fests, I heard the craziest thing. Howdritso
19:56
Speaker 1: says what Kujo continues, there's some rich girl that's working
20:00
Speaker 1: as a handler. Dya's like, wow, that sounds interesting, tell
20:03
Speaker 1: me more. I think he's just trying to divert the
20:06
Speaker 1: conversation from how much he loves Anju. How Toto says,
20:10
Speaker 1: she's obviously a really hot pig princess, and the guy
20:14
Speaker 1: sitting next to him says, with huge tits too because
20:16
Speaker 1: she's a pig after all. Karina is like, she's a
20:19
Speaker 1: white pig, so it's only natural. I guess they have
20:22
Speaker 1: big breasts. I don't know. THEO says like this, and
20:26
Speaker 1: he shows them that picture of what we thought was
20:29
Speaker 1: Lena the pig in the dress. I guess he had
20:32
Speaker 1: drawn it before anyway. They all laugh because it's funny,
20:36
Speaker 1: and Kujo says I could see her with a big
20:39
Speaker 1: pink rose on her back. And they're all like really
20:42
Speaker 1: intently staring at the drawing, and Anju's like, I bet
20:45
Speaker 1: she talks really prim and proper too, And one of
20:47
Speaker 1: the girls says, she'll greet you with and a fine
20:51
Speaker 1: morning to you, and she says very well instead of yes.
20:54
Speaker 1: Theo's like, I could tell for sure I'd snab at
20:56
Speaker 1: her within thirty seconds. How Toto's like, no, we don't know.
21:00
Speaker 1: Oh that she may be a frail little girl who's
21:02
Speaker 1: never held anything heavier than a knitting needle. Another of
21:05
Speaker 1: the girl says she can't handle the wind or the rain,
21:09
Speaker 1: shwilt if she gets too much sunlight like that. Another
21:12
Speaker 1: girl says, are you talking about a soldier? And Ryding's
21:16
Speaker 1: like if she was mumbling at me in a thin,
21:18
Speaker 1: frailed voice. I get pretty annoyed. Well of the guy says, guys,
21:21
Speaker 1: come down. She's just an ugly woman who had to
21:23
Speaker 1: get a job because you couldn't get married. And Diya's like, what,
21:26
Speaker 1: she's obviously a goddess. She's descended to the land of
21:30
Speaker 1: mortals to save us poor eighty six. That's actually kind
21:35
Speaker 1: of that's kind of close to the truth, Diya, that's funny.
21:38
Speaker 1: Kujo says, well, I don't know if she's a kind
21:41
Speaker 1: of princess or like a goddess, but I'd like to
21:43
Speaker 1: meet her someday if she really exists. He didn't get
21:47
Speaker 1: too Thea's like, well, I can tell you she's not
21:51
Speaker 1: either one of those things. She's alway pig at the
21:52
Speaker 1: end of the day, and the girls are like right,
21:55
Speaker 1: and then we cut to I guess it's later, and
21:58
Speaker 1: we're looking up at the moon through the soakaa blossoms
22:03
Speaker 1: and there's laughter in the background, and there's like maybe
22:07
Speaker 1: a little stage or something, and like Daya is on
22:09
Speaker 1: it and he's dancing with like Fido. I guess, I'm
22:12
Speaker 1: not really sure what this is, and he's like on
22:15
Speaker 1: juw and he pulls her up on stage. We see
22:19
Speaker 1: Shin holding a mug of water and he smiles, which
22:23
Speaker 1: I should note is the first time we've seen him
22:25
Speaker 1: in this flashback. Kaye walks over to him and says, Commander,
22:29
Speaker 1: are they drunk. Shin looks over as Kaye reaches him,
22:34
Speaker 1: and he's like, I don't know. We see Daya and Aju.
22:38
Speaker 1: They're still on the stage and dancing while everybody cheers
22:41
Speaker 1: them on, and Kaye says, the only thing in those
22:44
Speaker 1: cups is water, right, and Shin's like, yeah, it's just water,
22:48
Speaker 1: but well, they look like they're having fun. He takes
22:51
Speaker 1: a sip of water. I think it's okay ah. Kaye's like,
22:56
Speaker 1: you mean you don't care. People can tell things like that.
23:00
Speaker 1: Shin exhales and he's like, I guess, so I don't
23:04
Speaker 1: think that's true. Kaye sighs and looks up at the
23:07
Speaker 1: sky and some flower petals are like caught in the breeze,
23:11
Speaker 1: floating away to the night sky, and she says, originally
23:14
Speaker 1: people who were going off to battle hated cherry blossoms.
23:18
Speaker 1: The flowers have a short life span and they all
23:20
Speaker 1: bloom and then they fall at the same time. They
23:23
Speaker 1: leave the branches behind so easily, as if nothing's holding
23:26
Speaker 1: them back at all. Shin kind of looks over and smiles,
23:29
Speaker 1: and Kaye continues, but I like the way they're so bold. Kaye. Look,
23:36
Speaker 1: She points to her insignia. I made them my mark.
23:40
Speaker 1: What's your mark? There's a story behind it, right, Shin
23:44
Speaker 1: very blankly says, I think, so what, Kaye checkles you think?
23:51
Speaker 1: And Shin's like, it wasn't mine to begin with. Kaye
23:54
Speaker 1: looks pretty confused, Me too, Kaye. And then we hear
23:57
Speaker 1: Kujo say hey, you too, loves. They both look over.
24:02
Speaker 1: He continues, you need to enjoy yourself while you got
24:05
Speaker 1: the chance. If you can't laugh anymore, you've already lost, right,
24:09
Speaker 1: And everyone's like right, and they're laughing, and Kai's like yeah,
24:14
Speaker 1: And then to Shin, she says, I was worried there
24:16
Speaker 1: might be a legion attack while we were out here.
24:18
Speaker 1: I'm glad there wasn't. Karina walks up from behind them
24:21
Speaker 1: and says, I told you he can always tell. Some
24:25
Speaker 1: of the other girls are walking up too, and one
24:27
Speaker 1: of them says he's our headless reaper of the Eastern Front.
24:31
Speaker 1: I heard rumors, but I guess they're true. The second
24:34
Speaker 1: girl says, I heard you're looking for your missing head. Ah. Maybe.
24:39
Speaker 1: The third girl points at Chin and says, if I
24:42
Speaker 1: pull that scarf off, then the first girl's like, do
24:46
Speaker 1: you not have a head? Cheez, guys, fucking geez, he
24:51
Speaker 1: has a scarf over his neck. He's obviously sensitive about it.
24:54
Speaker 1: I know that you're teenagers, but back the fuck off.
24:57
Speaker 1: Chin pulls the scarf down, and they all like recoil
25:00
Speaker 1: and gasp, and Karina's like, sh which I agree was
25:04
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, because honestly, guys. The second
25:08
Speaker 1: girl's like oh and points to his Juggernaut and it's like,
25:11
Speaker 1: that's why the skeleton mark has no head, and all
25:13
Speaker 1: the girls are like, I get it. Shin looks kind
25:16
Speaker 1: of confused, maybe shocked, but then he smiles. He's really
25:20
Speaker 1: a good sports he's really sweet. And one of the
25:24
Speaker 1: girls is like, well, let's make the next six months
25:27
Speaker 1: good ones, okay, Reaper, and then like all of them
25:30
Speaker 1: individually are like saying, you know, glad to have you
25:33
Speaker 1: to Shin, and Karina starts to say it too, but
25:35
Speaker 1: she like mispronounces her words and she like stops and blushes,
25:39
Speaker 1: and Kyie's like, yeah, me too, Shin Reaper. Shin smiles
25:44
Speaker 1: you too. Rydan walks over to Shin and says, you
25:48
Speaker 1: sure are popular. I'm counting on you. Shin laughs and
25:51
Speaker 1: is like, that's not like you at all. Is it
25:54
Speaker 1: going to rain? I don't know what that means. One
25:58
Speaker 1: of the girls is like shootings stars, and Shin and
26:02
Speaker 1: Raydon look over, and everyone kind of like runs off
26:05
Speaker 1: to see the shooting stars. I guess, to get a
26:07
Speaker 1: better view outside of the trees. So they're just kind
26:10
Speaker 1: of all walking off and laughing, all of them except
26:13
Speaker 1: for Shin, who was just watching in the distance, sitting
26:15
Speaker 1: by himself. Now, then we see some shooting stars fall
26:19
Speaker 1: from the sky. The scene transitions back into present day
26:22
Speaker 1: resent time and we hear dya say it's been four months. Huh.
26:27
Speaker 1: Theo's like, there are a lot fewer of us. The
26:30
Speaker 1: only number that hasn't gone down is the one on
26:32
Speaker 1: Kuja's blackboard. Fuck. Someone else says I wish time would
26:36
Speaker 1: just stop too, and I'm just like that'd be nice, right,
26:41
Speaker 1: and says I'm afraid it won't. For the next two months,
26:44
Speaker 1: we're really really saving animation budget here, and we're just
26:47
Speaker 1: like seeing parts of the scenery, including some cicada shells
26:51
Speaker 1: on a tree. In one of the cicadas, it's like
26:53
Speaker 1: coming out of the shell. I love cicadas, so I
26:56
Speaker 1: was excited and I wrote a little smiley face there.
26:58
Speaker 1: So now you know anyway, one of their are all
27:02
Speaker 1: their parades beep and we hear Lena say sorry, I'm
27:05
Speaker 1: late beginning coordination mission Captain today. Shin closes his eyes
27:12
Speaker 1: and Aa' is like, oh, are you scared? Major Karana says,
27:17
Speaker 1: if you're scared, why not quit. Lena like kind of gasps,
27:20
Speaker 1: and Chin says, Major, if it's too much, you don't
27:24
Speaker 1: have to, and Lena cuts them off, and he's like,
27:25
Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'll do what I can do until the
27:28
Speaker 1: very end. Chin looks surprised and then smiles and says,
27:31
Speaker 1: got it. The Juggernauts take off down the road and
27:35
Speaker 1: now we see them like running through the forest and
27:37
Speaker 1: it's dusk and they're under fire, I guess by the Legion.
27:41
Speaker 1: And we see a bunch of Legion mechs like in
27:44
Speaker 1: front of them and like a field like firing on them,
27:47
Speaker 1: and they're static in the background, and Chin says, Scorpions
27:51
Speaker 1: incoming artillery fire and then just bombs start falling everywhere.
27:55
Speaker 1: We see Karina's juggernaut navigating the explosions and she's like,
27:58
Speaker 1: they really are in the way. THEO whose juggernaut is
28:01
Speaker 1: coming over the hill says, wait, are those scorpions from
28:05
Speaker 1: the next unit over? There are just so many of them.
28:08
Speaker 1: There's an explosion like right near him that kind of
28:10
Speaker 1: knocks his juggernaut back a bit, and Ryden says, they've
28:13
Speaker 1: learned that we can anticipate their routes and ambush them.
28:15
Speaker 1: Dya's like, so they start blasting every hiding spot with
28:18
Speaker 1: artillery and then finish us off with the low when
28:20
Speaker 1: we're flushed out, huh how Dew toasts like that's a
28:23
Speaker 1: lot of effort for a bunch of guys in aluminum
28:25
Speaker 1: coffins like us. I'm so happy I could cry. And
28:28
Speaker 1: he's like firing and dodging, and he takes one of
28:31
Speaker 1: the legion out. Karina probably says, if only we could
28:34
Speaker 1: use mortars. We cut to the brown haired spearhead squadron
28:39
Speaker 1: person whose name is Lekka. But I didn't know that
28:42
Speaker 1: until a little bit later, when I'm just gonna tell
28:44
Speaker 1: you that now. So it's not confusing anyway. She's in
28:47
Speaker 1: our cockpit. She like fires at one of the I
28:50
Speaker 1: guess scorpion things, and unfortunately they fire bag at her
28:55
Speaker 1: and it hits and her juggernaut gets like tossed and
28:59
Speaker 1: like rolls down into a ditch with like a little
29:01
Speaker 1: stream in it, and she gets really knocked around, and
29:05
Speaker 1: I think she's unconscious. And Karina's like burnt Tail, which
29:09
Speaker 1: I guess is her personnel name. We see Dia eating
29:12
Speaker 1: a protein bar and he looks up when he hears
29:14
Speaker 1: Karina call out, and Shin's like, can someone from the
29:17
Speaker 1: sixth platoon go? Someone who probably is on JEW says
29:21
Speaker 1: not now with all the artillery fire, and before anyone
29:24
Speaker 1: else can say anything, Dia just fucking sprints off in
29:27
Speaker 1: his juggernaut. Onju for some reason, is outside of her
29:30
Speaker 1: juggernaut and I didn't understand why. And she's like, Dia wait,
29:34
Speaker 1: Diya is not waiting. He is sliding down the hill
29:36
Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm fine. He's sprinting towards Burntail, and
29:40
Speaker 1: a missile like hits him and knocks his juggernaut into
29:43
Speaker 1: the air and it spins and it lands on its side,
29:46
Speaker 1: so he's on his side, and at this point, these
29:48
Speaker 1: Hexagoni things are like showing up and they're like flipping
29:50
Speaker 1: through the air and they like transform into like little
29:53
Speaker 1: people next like little robot people with black bodies and
29:56
Speaker 1: like white heads or something very strange. So they're like
29:59
Speaker 1: running at him, and Lena's like, black dog, get away
30:03
Speaker 1: from there, and someone else says black dog. And the
30:06
Speaker 1: little like people mac things are like still coming at him,
30:09
Speaker 1: and they're like firing at him with like this blue
30:10
Speaker 1: I guess laser coming from like a thing on their heads,
30:13
Speaker 1: and Dya is firing back and he's hitting them, and
30:15
Speaker 1: now they are on fire, by the way, but they're
30:17
Speaker 1: still coming at him, and they fucking jump into the air,
30:21
Speaker 1: still on fire, and then they're like tumbling straight at
30:23
Speaker 1: Dya from above, and Diya looks up in shock. Fuck huh.
30:28
Speaker 1: All three of them fall out of the sky and
30:31
Speaker 1: lash onto his juggernaut. He looks so fucking terrified, and
30:36
Speaker 1: they are on his juggernaut, holding onto it, making these
30:39
Speaker 1: beeping noises that are increasing in speed, which makes me
30:42
Speaker 1: think that they're a bomb now, which isn't really good
30:44
Speaker 1: at all. And also they're still on fire. We got
30:47
Speaker 1: back to Dya, who almost inaudibly says on you, and
30:53
Speaker 1: on you gasps, and there's an explosion followed by a
30:56
Speaker 1: massive shock wave. Lena gasps. Krana says, I can go now, burntail,
31:04
Speaker 1: I can aim from above. Leka is awake now, and
31:08
Speaker 1: her cockpit is open and she gets out her gun
31:11
Speaker 1: and she points it and she's firing as this legion
31:13
Speaker 1: thing approaches her, and Sheen says, they'll shoot back at you, gunslinger.
31:18
Speaker 1: The legion thing is like closing in right on Lekka now,
31:24
Speaker 1: like basically in her face, and she's still firing at it.
31:28
Speaker 1: And someone says, laughing, fox, can you circle down and
31:31
Speaker 1: come back up. Someone else is like the march Hare could.
31:34
Speaker 1: But Leka is still firing and her shots are almost
31:38
Speaker 1: doing nothing. They're just denting the front of this legion
31:42
Speaker 1: mech and she says, I'm not ending up a hunk
31:45
Speaker 1: of scrap metal, and someone says make it in time.
31:49
Speaker 1: Leka winces, and then very calmly says, I'm counting on you.
31:56
Speaker 1: The scorpion or low or whatever it is, raises its
31:59
Speaker 1: leg above her like it's going to swat her, and
32:04
Speaker 1: we cut back to Leca and we see that she
32:06
Speaker 1: is a gun placed to the bottom of her chin,
32:09
Speaker 1: and she's smirking and she says Reaper. She turns off
32:14
Speaker 1: her parade and she fires. Her shot is followed by
32:20
Speaker 1: the legion Mech, bringing down its leg on her, and
32:23
Speaker 1: Lena's like burnt tail. It's quiet except for the stream
32:28
Speaker 1: and the legion like lower scorpion is still over by Leka,
32:34
Speaker 1: and it's over though, so it just kind of turns
32:37
Speaker 1: away and walks off, and Lena's still calling out to
32:39
Speaker 1: Leka and the legion like low thing that was walking
32:43
Speaker 1: away explodes. So I guess someone shot at it. It
32:46
Speaker 1: wasn't really clear, and Lena's like, damn it. Shin at
32:50
Speaker 1: this point is approaching the carnage and he says, march Hare,
32:54
Speaker 1: come back, snow Witch, take over command from black Dog. Fuck.
33:00
Speaker 1: That whole thing just made me forget. The dye is
33:01
Speaker 1: probably dead anyway. Shin is shooting at some legion and
33:04
Speaker 1: he's like, can you do it on you? Who? We
33:07
Speaker 1: see only the bottom half of her face, just her
33:10
Speaker 1: mouth kind of grimacing, and she finally says, yeah, leave
33:14
Speaker 1: it to me. She moves her mouth and says something
33:18
Speaker 1: that we can't hear. And then bites her lip. The
33:21
Speaker 1: sky is red now and we're seeing all those like
33:25
Speaker 1: signal jamming flying things flying away in the sky, and
33:30
Speaker 1: cicadas are screaming again, and Shin says major. Lena's like, yes,
33:38
Speaker 1: Sin continues, if I told you to cut the poweraid,
33:41
Speaker 1: would you fuck? We see the stream now and there's
33:46
Speaker 1: some I don't know, plastic or something floating in it
33:48
Speaker 1: and it is bloody yay, And then we see Shin
33:52
Speaker 1: who is standing in front of like a pretty destroyed,
33:56
Speaker 1: fucked up juggernaut and Lina says, is that. Shin continues,
34:02
Speaker 1: You've never seen a person get shot, right. Lena's like,
34:10
Speaker 1: what do you mean? We don't have a really good
34:12
Speaker 1: shot of the bombed out juggernaut. We're kind of looking
34:17
Speaker 1: at it from the side sort of. But Diya's hand
34:22
Speaker 1: is reaching out from the cockpit. It looks bad, like
34:26
Speaker 1: you know, he's probably burned, and he's gasping, and Chin says,
34:32
Speaker 1: I can't let Daya become a legion. Lena gasps. Shin
34:36
Speaker 1: takes out his gun. If you think you can't handle it,
34:39
Speaker 1: just cut the link. We're kind of looking at this
34:41
Speaker 1: from behind the juggernaut now, so it's partially obscured. We
34:44
Speaker 1: can't see Dia at all anymore. We can't even see
34:47
Speaker 1: his arm, but Chin is in full view, pretty much
34:51
Speaker 1: framed in the orange sunset, and Lena says, no, takes
34:56
Speaker 1: a really shaky breath. This is all I can do.
35:00
Speaker 1: It's my responsibility as a handler. She's really brave. Shin
35:05
Speaker 1: pulls the trigger and we lose audio. We don't see it.
35:10
Speaker 1: All we see is a shell casing shoot up as
35:14
Speaker 1: he fires, and then we cut back a bit so
35:18
Speaker 1: Shin is in view but far away, and then kind
35:20
Speaker 1: of like at the beginning of the episode, the camera
35:22
Speaker 1: rushes towards him and he turns panicks the casing lands
35:27
Speaker 1: with like a little clink. He's silent, looking off in
35:31
Speaker 1: the distance for something, just terrified, and we cut to
35:38
Speaker 1: the insignia on his juggernaut. I guess it's later now,
35:41
Speaker 1: and we got like kind of a weird above shot
35:44
Speaker 1: of like a pot with maybe some soup in it,
35:46
Speaker 1: but there's not really much soup left in it now,
35:48
Speaker 1: and it looks like Andu is lifting it from the
35:52
Speaker 1: table and everyone's like, thanks for the meal, and THEO says,
35:56
Speaker 1: I'll carry that. Andrew looks up and she's like, huh oh, well,
36:00
Speaker 1: I'm fine. It's late. She turns, I'm just fine, and
36:04
Speaker 1: she starts to walk away. Feo's like, wheely Andrew stops.
36:09
Speaker 1: We can't see her eyes, but she's not okay. She says, really,
36:15
Speaker 1: I can carry it myself, right, Kitty. The cat meows
36:18
Speaker 1: and she just continues to walk away. I think he
36:21
Speaker 1: wanted to help you carry that weight. Not's the pot.
36:25
Speaker 1: He just wanted to help you know. I don't know
36:29
Speaker 1: what I meant by that anyway. Karina and the blue
36:32
Speaker 1: haired and orange haired girl like, look on, I guess
36:35
Speaker 1: at this pretty like sadly because it's sad. And then
36:39
Speaker 1: Karina's like, let's play darts. They kind of walk off.
36:43
Speaker 1: We see Shin and ride In walking outside and right
36:46
Speaker 1: and says we finally lost Diya and Luka too. Huh.
36:49
Speaker 1: Shin's like, here's just a question of when it happens,
36:52
Speaker 1: right and says, yeah, you'll still fight to the end,
36:55
Speaker 1: even if you're the last one left, until you make
36:57
Speaker 1: a grave for that. He looks down at Shin's right
37:01
Speaker 1: jacket pockets for your brother. Huh. Sin's like, this is
37:06
Speaker 1: all I can do. My brother hasn't forgiven me what
37:10
Speaker 1: he still blames me, So what did you do? Shin
37:15
Speaker 1: right and stops walking, and Shin continues like around the
37:19
Speaker 1: corner and into the stairwell and right and says he's
37:23
Speaker 1: so obsessed with his brother's head. We see Shin sitting
37:26
Speaker 1: on his bed and he has Leka and Diya's like
37:29
Speaker 1: little metal scraps with their insignia's on it, and we
37:32
Speaker 1: hear right and say, I guess you really are a reaper.
37:35
Speaker 1: In search of his missing head, Shin takes a piece
37:38
Speaker 1: of metal out of that pocket that ride and was
37:40
Speaker 1: staring at, which I thought there might have been something
37:42
Speaker 1: in there, and it's a part of his brother's juggernaut.
37:47
Speaker 1: In fact, it's the part of the insignia where the
37:50
Speaker 1: head is missing of the skeleton, and he stares at
37:54
Speaker 1: it in narrow siyes. We quickly cut back to the
37:57
Speaker 1: scene earlier where he turned around suddenly, and we get
38:02
Speaker 1: the full picture. Now, a voice says, Shin, we're back
38:06
Speaker 1: at the church now in the snowstorm, with the juggernaut
38:09
Speaker 1: in front of it, bathed in moonlight. The voice continues,
38:13
Speaker 1: it's your fault. Current age. Shin is standing in the snowstorm,
38:17
Speaker 1: and he looks horrified the open cock pitted juggernauts. His
38:22
Speaker 1: brother's juggernaut is writhing in front of him, and the
38:27
Speaker 1: voice continues, everything, it's all your faults. It lunges towards him,
38:32
Speaker 1: and we see that the pilot is missing ahead, and
38:35
Speaker 1: as it reaches the camera, the screen turns red and
38:37
Speaker 1: we immediately change to someone being strangled on the ground,
38:40
Speaker 1: bathed in red lights. We can't see the full face
38:44
Speaker 1: of the person who's being strangled, but it is clearly
38:46
Speaker 1: a child, and they are trying unsuccessfully to pull the
38:50
Speaker 1: other person, who we also can't sees, hands from their neck,
38:54
Speaker 1: and the voice says that mom and dad died. The
38:57
Speaker 1: kid is still struggling at the mouth now, but his
39:01
Speaker 1: arms slowly begin to relax as he's losing consciousness, and
39:06
Speaker 1: the voice says that I'm about to die. We cut
39:10
Speaker 1: to a cloaked figure standing in front of Shin in
39:12
Speaker 1: the storm. He raises his gun in fear, and the
39:14
Speaker 1: voice continues, all because of you, Shin, Shin, And if
39:19
Speaker 1: that resounding echoing Shin, then I'm not doing justice. We
39:23
Speaker 1: cut to raise face bathed in red light, warped with
39:27
Speaker 1: hatred clearly strangling Shin and then we go the title
39:31
Speaker 1: card episode six through to the end. Wooa huh okay,
39:39
Speaker 1: well yeah, okay, Ray strangled Chin. Back from the title
39:44
Speaker 1: card because it's not the end, we see a piece
39:47
Speaker 1: of strawberry shortcake, like a little piece of chocolate on
39:51
Speaker 1: it that has Happy Birthday written on it. I think
39:54
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to know that the shortcake looks weird, and
39:56
Speaker 1: it does. The cake part doesn't look like big and moist.
39:59
Speaker 1: It looks it's like almost like crackers kind of, so
40:01
Speaker 1: it's different than we've seen it before in this show. Anyway.
40:06
Speaker 1: The cake is on a plate and there's a candle
40:07
Speaker 1: next to it like it had been lit, and it's
40:09
Speaker 1: it's taken out, you know whatever, normal cake stuff. And
40:13
Speaker 1: Lena's like, it's good. Thanks Innette. This sounds polite but
40:18
Speaker 1: not actually happy. They're sitting at a table that I
40:21
Speaker 1: guess is in Anette's office like they do sometimes, and
40:25
Speaker 1: Lena says, is this real egg? Annette stares at her
40:30
Speaker 1: for a second and then says, artificial. The strawberries are real. Sorry,
40:34
Speaker 1: there wasn't time. It is July twenty seventh, twenty one
40:37
Speaker 1: forty eighth, so it's the same day and I guess
40:40
Speaker 1: earlier that day. What a terrible day for it to
40:43
Speaker 1: be your birthday, Lena. I'm sorry. Also, we know her
40:45
Speaker 1: birthday is the twenty seventh, now, yay. Lena's like, no,
40:49
Speaker 1: it's fine, and Neette says, I'm glad you came. Though.
40:52
Speaker 1: She takes this red sack from off the floor and
40:55
Speaker 1: she puts it on the table and she's like, happy birthday, Lena.
40:59
Speaker 1: Lena's like, but your present was delivered yesterday, and that says, oh,
41:03
Speaker 1: you got it. Lena's like, why a rocking chair, really, Bennette,
41:09
Speaker 1: that's weird, and that's like, why, well, you know, I
41:13
Speaker 1: thought it'd be nice Lena kind of size, and Annette continues, well,
41:18
Speaker 1: actually Nicholas gave it to me, but I'm not gonna
41:22
Speaker 1: use it. She's like, just such a shitty friend. We
41:25
Speaker 1: see those pictures of like the suitors that are on
41:28
Speaker 1: her wall, and remember there was that little kid. The
41:31
Speaker 1: kid is crossed down now, thank god. But now next
41:34
Speaker 1: to the kid is like an older looking dude, maybe
41:36
Speaker 1: in his sixties or seventies, and then next to that
41:39
Speaker 1: says looking for a challenger. That's really shitty people who
41:44
Speaker 1: work with her. But whatever. Anyway, Lena says, yeah, it
41:48
Speaker 1: seemed like an older person picked it. And that's like,
41:51
Speaker 1: but you look like you need your sleep lately. Perfect
41:53
Speaker 1: for an app right, Lena says, you always end up
41:57
Speaker 1: with guys who are in the wrong age range. Is
42:00
Speaker 1: sipping tea or coffee and says, well, all the guy's
42:03
Speaker 1: my age and she just stops. Elena looks at her confused,
42:09
Speaker 1: and then it's like, not a chance, they're too childish.
42:12
Speaker 1: She puts down the cup. Okay, something was up there.
42:15
Speaker 1: That's not the reason. I don't know what the reason is,
42:17
Speaker 1: but that wasn't its Lena kind of sighs, and Annette says,
42:23
Speaker 1: so what happens? Lena's like what? Annette says, you came
42:27
Speaker 1: to ask me something, right. Lena like gasps a little
42:30
Speaker 1: and she like winces because she knows Annette is right
42:33
Speaker 1: and she didn't just come to hang out with her,
42:34
Speaker 1: which is shitty because I thought you guys were friends.
42:37
Speaker 1: And she says, hey, Annette, and it's like, what is it?
42:41
Speaker 1: Lena says, just hypothetically, if the power raids had some
42:45
Speaker 1: kind of effect on a person's mind, and Nette narrows
42:50
Speaker 1: her eyes. Oh, then I'd go pop. Lina's like huh,
42:55
Speaker 1: Andett continues, we'd pop the process their skull right open,
42:58
Speaker 1: and we'd do a thorough exam of their brain, just
43:00
Speaker 1: like we were going to do to undertaker. She stabs
43:03
Speaker 1: a piece of her cake hard, and she picks up
43:05
Speaker 1: a strawberry, and when we're done, we just throw it away.
43:09
Speaker 1: What Annette puts the strawberry in her mouth, Lena just
43:14
Speaker 1: stares at her in abject horror, and a Net continues
43:17
Speaker 1: For a handler, we'd immediately give them a thorough exam
43:19
Speaker 1: and then transfer them to another units. None of this
43:23
Speaker 1: is good. A notification goes off, and Lena looks at
43:26
Speaker 1: her watch and she's like, sorry, I have to go.
43:28
Speaker 1: She stands, leave the cake and I'll come back and
43:30
Speaker 1: eat it later. She takes the sack present with her
43:34
Speaker 1: and starts to walk away, and that's like Lena. Lena
43:38
Speaker 1: turns back. Annette kind of blankly says, I'll make the
43:42
Speaker 1: usual cake next year. Lena's like it was fine. Thanks.
43:47
Speaker 1: She turns to leave, and we cut to the cake
43:49
Speaker 1: as she walks away, and we hear the door open
43:51
Speaker 1: and close. I feel like there's a lot of episode
43:53
Speaker 1: here anyway. We see the vase on her window sill
43:57
Speaker 1: that has flowers in it now, which is nice and
43:59
Speaker 1: it's evil. And she's sitting at her desk and she
44:03
Speaker 1: has this like board, you know, the kind that you
44:06
Speaker 1: put like pushpins in corkboard or whatever, you know, kind
44:10
Speaker 1: of standing up against her wall on the desk, and
44:15
Speaker 1: on it she's taped like lots of little pieces of
44:18
Speaker 1: paper that have like drawings of faces on them. And
44:22
Speaker 1: in the top left corner of the board there is
44:25
Speaker 1: a picture of Ray's face that's actually pinned to the board,
44:29
Speaker 1: but the rest of them are taped, which I thought
44:31
Speaker 1: was interesting or not. Maybe she just didn't have any
44:34
Speaker 1: more little pushpins. She looks at the board like really sadly,
44:37
Speaker 1: and then she reaches for like a little happy looking face,
44:40
Speaker 1: and she thinks of when Shin said, I can't let
44:43
Speaker 1: Dia become part of the legion. And as she pulls
44:47
Speaker 1: the little Dya face off the board, we hear gunshots,
44:51
Speaker 1: flower pedal falls. Mina says Captain Knowsen's been doing this
44:55
Speaker 1: for years to keep his commrades from becoming part of
44:57
Speaker 1: the legion. She looks the little Daya and Leka faces
45:02
Speaker 1: that she's holding in her hand now and she clenches
45:04
Speaker 1: them tightly in her fists. It's now July twenty eighth,
45:08
Speaker 1: twenty one forty eight, so the next day she is
45:11
Speaker 1: still holding the two pieces of paper tightly in her fist,
45:14
Speaker 1: but it's daylight, and she says, two processors died in
45:18
Speaker 1: the last battle. One was mortally wounded, but it was
45:20
Speaker 1: his combat commander, not the other legion, who dealt the
45:23
Speaker 1: killing blow. We get this weird kind of camera shot
45:26
Speaker 1: of like it coming up her body. I don't know
45:28
Speaker 1: how to explain it, but it was interesting. And we
45:31
Speaker 1: see that she is standing now in front of her
45:33
Speaker 1: uncle at his desk, and Carl Stall says, how many
45:37
Speaker 1: machines do we have left, Lena size sixteen people. Carl
45:42
Speaker 1: Stall kind of exhales, and Lena walks closer to his
45:45
Speaker 1: desk and she's holding a folder in her hand, and
45:47
Speaker 1: she says, our military's mortars have arranged close to that
45:50
Speaker 1: of the Scorpions howitzers. She lays the report in front
45:54
Speaker 1: of him on the desk and continues, we can use
45:56
Speaker 1: them to provide support at the front lines and save
45:58
Speaker 1: the lives of the eighty six. Carl stah looks up
46:02
Speaker 1: at her, like fucking serious, and Lena says, no, we
46:06
Speaker 1: can lessen the attrition at the front lines and defend
46:08
Speaker 1: the nation more effectively. Good job, good pivot. Carl Stall's like,
46:13
Speaker 1: mortars need to be reloaded after firing, and they're in
46:16
Speaker 1: the middle of a minefield. It's too close to the
46:19
Speaker 1: front lines. Lena kind of clenches her hand over the
46:24
Speaker 1: report and carl Stall continues, you're telling me to take
46:27
Speaker 1: that risk for the eighty six. Fuck Lena scoffs. Carl
46:32
Speaker 1: Stall's like, eighty six can be replaced, but republic soldiers can't.
46:36
Speaker 1: I can't authorize their use. We cut to Lena's fist,
46:41
Speaker 1: which is still holding the little drawings, and carl Stall continues,
46:45
Speaker 1: both the military and the people want a homeland defense.
46:49
Speaker 1: Lena's fist is shaking, he continues, and the military's job
46:53
Speaker 1: is to follow the will of the people. Oh fuck you,
46:56
Speaker 1: Lena's like, but carl Stall cuts her off. Lena, how
47:00
Speaker 1: many times do I have to tell you stop siding
47:02
Speaker 1: with the eighty six? Lena looks down. But they're they're human,
47:08
Speaker 1: they must be suffering. Carlstall says, I have another mission
47:12
Speaker 1: for the Spearheads. Actually, Lena gasps. He pulls out a
47:15
Speaker 1: folder and says a new Legion base has been confirmed
47:18
Speaker 1: to be under construction near their area. As soon as
47:21
Speaker 1: they're ready, they're to advance immediately to the base and
47:24
Speaker 1: destroy it. Lena is like, wait before even replacing the
47:28
Speaker 1: one they lost? Why don't we get replacements like the
47:30
Speaker 1: other units? Hmm. Carlstall says the base exists to support
47:36
Speaker 1: the Legion in their advance. If it's not taken out
47:38
Speaker 1: before it's complete, it'll be Spearhead that suffers. He stands.
47:42
Speaker 1: Lena gasps. He continues, you want to save them, right,
47:46
Speaker 1: Major Melisa? Or am I wrong? Fuck dude. Lena looks
47:51
Speaker 1: like she is going to fucking cry and I understand,
47:55
Speaker 1: but she says, understood, sir. We see a shot of
47:58
Speaker 1: that file and kind of morphs into a new file
48:01
Speaker 1: that's labeled original orders. But we can't read the rest
48:05
Speaker 1: of it. It's way too small. Even if I zoomed in,
48:06
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been able to tell what it said.
48:09
Speaker 1: Lena says. This concludes the mission briefing. She's sitting at
48:13
Speaker 1: her desk. It's evening again and Shin says, understood. Lena sighs.
48:18
Speaker 1: She's looking at this little plastic box, like a clear
48:21
Speaker 1: plastic box that has like five little face drawings in it.
48:26
Speaker 1: I think they're the dead faces. And she says, I'm sorry.
48:30
Speaker 1: I know you don't even have replacements for your casualties yet,
48:33
Speaker 1: and we're already sending you out on a new mission.
48:36
Speaker 1: Shin's like, it's nothing new. We see that rocking chair
48:39
Speaker 1: that Annette gave her, and there's like a little stuffed
48:42
Speaker 1: black hat on it. Shin continues, we're aware of the
48:45
Speaker 1: legion pace as well. It's almost certainly a trap fuck.
48:49
Speaker 1: Lena's like, you know that, and you'll attack anyway. Shin says,
48:54
Speaker 1: it may be more dangerous to leave it there. Lena
48:57
Speaker 1: looks down and she's like, I wish we could used
48:59
Speaker 1: them orders to provide support, but I couldn't get authorization.
49:03
Speaker 1: Theo's like, oh, those things I've never seen him use.
49:06
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if they still worked. Lena's like that's
49:10
Speaker 1: so right, and says, don't worry about it, and Theo's
49:14
Speaker 1: like we weren't counting on them to begin with how
49:16
Speaker 1: And To's like, stress is bad for your skin. Lena sighs,
49:21
Speaker 1: and she's like, yeah, that's it for today. Try to
49:24
Speaker 1: get some rest tonight. Okay. Theo's like all right, all right,
49:28
Speaker 1: and they all say goodbye to her, and then they
49:30
Speaker 1: cut communication. Lena reaches for the back of her neck
49:34
Speaker 1: to turn off her power raid and then she stops.
49:37
Speaker 1: She says, Captain, we cut to the drawings on the board,
49:41
Speaker 1: and the one that I believe is supposed to be
49:44
Speaker 1: Shin that kind of looks like Shin. He is kind
49:47
Speaker 1: of sad eyes. So it's about right. Shin, who was
49:51
Speaker 1: obviously still on the line, says, Major, are you okay?
49:56
Speaker 1: Lena's like what, Shin says, your voice sounds a little
50:00
Speaker 1: on edge. Wow, he's awesome, Lena gasps. He continues, make
50:06
Speaker 1: sure you get some rest tonight. Lena's like okay, and
50:10
Speaker 1: Chin says, you can get sweets inside the walls, right,
50:14
Speaker 1: why not eat some and take a break. Oh my god,
50:16
Speaker 1: just like Ray. Lena chuckles, and Chin says, what is it.
50:22
Speaker 1: Lena's like, you just sounded like your brother. He gave
50:25
Speaker 1: me chocolate when things were bad. She stands and she's
50:28
Speaker 1: like walking over to maybe the bed or something, and
50:31
Speaker 1: Shin takes off kind of exaggerated breath, and Lena continues,
50:36
Speaker 1: you really are brothers. Huh, it's far worse for you
50:39
Speaker 1: than it is for me. You must like sweets too,
50:41
Speaker 1: write captain knowsen. Shin kind of pauses and he's like, yeah,
50:47
Speaker 1: did my brother say that. Lena's like yeah, she's unwrapping
50:51
Speaker 1: a little piece of chocolate, and Chin says, what was
50:55
Speaker 1: his expression like when he said it. Lena kind of gasps,
51:02
Speaker 1: and Shin says, was he smiling? Lena smiles, Yeah, he
51:07
Speaker 1: had such kind eyes. Oh my god, I remember them
51:11
Speaker 1: really well. Shin says, I'm impressed you remember, and Lena's like,
51:17
Speaker 1: it's an important memory for me. She looks at the
51:21
Speaker 1: drawing of Ray on her board and says, I'll never
51:23
Speaker 1: forget it. And then she looks at chins drawing and
51:27
Speaker 1: is like, of course, this time I spend talking to
51:30
Speaker 1: you is very important to me as well. She blushes
51:33
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then there's this awkward pause on
51:35
Speaker 1: both sides of the line, and she gets like super
51:38
Speaker 1: embarrassed and she's like major And at this point Lena
51:42
Speaker 1: goes like totally red and she's super flustered, and she's
51:45
Speaker 1: like oh okay, good night, and Sin says good night,
51:48
Speaker 1: and then it's the call. Lena is looking down at
51:51
Speaker 1: the half open chocolate in her hand and it has
51:53
Speaker 1: a little heart on it, and she blushes like super hard,
51:56
Speaker 1: and she's like squirming, like writhing, and then the ending
52:00
Speaker 1: starts up and it's hands up to the sky like
52:02
Speaker 1: the special ending theme, and she finally gets herself to
52:06
Speaker 1: calm down. She looks at the box of the dead
52:10
Speaker 1: Spearhead people, and then she looks at the board and
52:14
Speaker 1: she says, I won't forget, and then we go to
52:18
Speaker 1: the ending, which is her holding that piece of chocolate
52:22
Speaker 1: which is kind of in burnt Siena and the heart
52:25
Speaker 1: is in blue, and then to the next episode title
52:29
Speaker 1: card will you remember Me? And that's it. Yeah, we
52:34
Speaker 1: did it. Oh my god. I never thought I was
52:35
Speaker 1: gonna get through that. So closing thoughts, I feel like
52:39
Speaker 1: that was a lot, but not really a lot, Like
52:41
Speaker 1: there wasn't so much as last episode where we just
52:44
Speaker 1: revelation after revelation after revelation. This was a little bit
52:47
Speaker 1: slower paced, except that Daya and Luca, who we didn't
52:51
Speaker 1: even know at all, died, which is a lot. I
52:57
Speaker 1: think that's a theme. And people like Leka, who we
53:01
Speaker 1: didn't really have her name or have the person who
53:04
Speaker 1: was associated with that name it's til now. It's kind
53:07
Speaker 1: of a sign she was probably going to die. There
53:09
Speaker 1: are a couple other characters I'm kind of worried about
53:11
Speaker 1: right now because I don't know who they are, like
53:13
Speaker 1: those random girls. But Dyah was kind of out of
53:16
Speaker 1: the blue, and poor Anju, who I believe really really
53:20
Speaker 1: cared for Dya and she was just kind of fucking
53:23
Speaker 1: around with him because she knew how much he cared
53:26
Speaker 1: about her, and it was funny. But I think that
53:28
Speaker 1: she also really cared about him too, So yeah, and
53:33
Speaker 1: him just like reaching out torch Shin and Shin killing
53:36
Speaker 1: him a lot. I am really impressed with Lena, like
53:41
Speaker 1: constantly for her desire to stick around. I had to
53:45
Speaker 1: be part of this because she doesn't have to be.
53:47
Speaker 1: She's got a safe world to live in, you know.
53:52
Speaker 1: And Shin is just so fucking kind, so kind. I
54:00
Speaker 1: just wanted to say that and put that out there,
54:04
Speaker 1: just the way that he's handling all of this, and
54:08
Speaker 1: I like that he's kind of like a loner, but
54:10
Speaker 1: he's not unapproachable at all. Like he wasn't really interacting
54:15
Speaker 1: with the other kids when they were having that little
54:17
Speaker 1: party until they came over to him. And then yeah, totally,
54:21
Speaker 1: because he will talk to people and he's he's a
54:23
Speaker 1: nice dude. He's just very reserved. So I like that,
54:27
Speaker 1: and I like that it seems like he genuinely cares
54:29
Speaker 1: about the people around him. Yeah. The whole thing that
54:32
Speaker 1: happened at the end with him and Lena like really
54:35
Speaker 1: hurt me, obviously, because Shin's staying on the call and
54:38
Speaker 1: asking Lena if she's okay. I mean, it shows a
54:41
Speaker 1: lot of you know, emotional intelligence on his end. He's
54:44
Speaker 1: paying attention to the way that she's speaking, and he
54:47
Speaker 1: knows that she is hurting and worried for them and stuff,
54:52
Speaker 1: and it's super cool that he like went out of
54:54
Speaker 1: his way to check on her. And then we have Lena,
54:58
Speaker 1: who obviously really like Shin, who doesn't pick up all
55:02
Speaker 1: all of these cues that Shin is really really hurt
55:09
Speaker 1: by his brother. Like I don't know how to explain it,
55:11
Speaker 1: but like, you know, I don't blame her for not
55:15
Speaker 1: knowing that Chin was fucking strangled, I guess by his brother,
55:19
Speaker 1: But there's something about the way that he's speaking here,
55:22
Speaker 1: and especially when he said what was his expression like
55:25
Speaker 1: when he said it, that's not a normal thing, you say.
55:28
Speaker 1: He was trying to figure out, you know, if his
55:31
Speaker 1: brother had forgiven him. You know, he was trying to
55:34
Speaker 1: get a sense of what was going through his mind
55:38
Speaker 1: when he thought about Shin, and Lenna didn't get that.
55:42
Speaker 1: She just kind of brushes past it. It's okay, I mean,
55:45
Speaker 1: she doesn't know, but it's funny because like he's doing
55:48
Speaker 1: all the emotional work, you know. Yeah, totally not her fault,
55:52
Speaker 1: but horribly sad for him to, you know, have her
55:56
Speaker 1: talking about his brother who obviously had something against him.
56:00
Speaker 1: You know, as far as we can tell, it sounds
56:03
Speaker 1: like he blamed Shin for everything, maybe, which I don't know.
56:09
Speaker 1: We don't know what happened. He was a kid, so
56:12
Speaker 1: that'll be interesting to see exactly what the deal was.
56:14
Speaker 1: But Lena talking about like how he had kind eyes
56:17
Speaker 1: after we had just seen Ray express so much fucking intense,
56:24
Speaker 1: primal hatred for Shin while strangling him is such an
56:30
Speaker 1: interesting juxtaposition and I fucking love it. Great job and
56:35
Speaker 1: so interesting to have like this dramatic irony going on
56:38
Speaker 1: where like Lena is looking at Ray as like this
56:41
Speaker 1: really kind savior and talking to him like he is,
56:46
Speaker 1: and Shin is just terrified of him. It's cool. I
56:51
Speaker 1: like it. I really like it. So yeah, I mean
56:54
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it's for me. I don't think that
56:57
Speaker 1: there's much I needed to say in this episode besides
56:59
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. Oh yeah. The relationship that Lena
57:02
Speaker 1: has with Annett is so strained and it just keeps
57:05
Speaker 1: getting worse. It's interesting. I guess maybe they're just drifting apart.
57:10
Speaker 1: Lena's got all these new friends sort of that are
57:14
Speaker 1: eighty six, and Annette is just kind of there by
57:17
Speaker 1: herself trying to get men. Maybe, so they're really on
57:21
Speaker 1: different paths. And Annette is kind of scary with the
57:25
Speaker 1: way that she talks about like dissecting eighty six people.
57:29
Speaker 1: That's kind of upsetting. I kind of don't think she's
57:33
Speaker 1: a great person, you know, or at least that's what
57:37
Speaker 1: she's trying to seem like. It was a weird thing
57:39
Speaker 1: to tell Lena that they were just gonna like dispose
57:42
Speaker 1: of the bodies afterwards. There's just something about that that
57:45
Speaker 1: sounded acted like, I don't know, like she's trying to
57:49
Speaker 1: get her to see the difference, or she's trying to
57:51
Speaker 1: scare her. I'm not really sure, but something is there,
57:55
Speaker 1: Something she's trying to do something. I guess, Wow, that
57:58
Speaker 1: wasn't great whatever. Anyway, I think that's about it. I
58:02
Speaker 1: think the only thing I wanted to say left is
58:04
Speaker 1: that it is very interesting that they are sending Spearhead
58:08
Speaker 1: on this mission that is apparently like Pivotal, but they're
58:12
Speaker 1: not waiting for replacements. And when Lena said, like can
58:18
Speaker 1: we get some and all this shit that she was
58:20
Speaker 1: saying to Carl Stahl, He's like not really giving her
58:25
Speaker 1: real answers. He's just kind of glossing over this. And
58:29
Speaker 1: so I assume one of two things is going on.
58:32
Speaker 1: Either this is just in competence sending a undermanned unit
58:38
Speaker 1: out to do a really dangerous job, or this is intentional.
58:43
Speaker 1: And we know that Spearhead thinks it's a trap. Does
58:47
Speaker 1: Carl stall also think it's a trap? And why would
58:51
Speaker 1: you want them to go to a trap undermanned, like
58:55
Speaker 1: unless you don't want them to survive? So something to
59:00
Speaker 1: think about, I guess. But yeah, I think that's gonna
59:04
Speaker 1: be it. I hope this went Okay, it's you know,
59:07
Speaker 1: same program, using the same program and everything, but just
59:10
Speaker 1: kind of the workflow is a little bit different. So
59:13
Speaker 1: I was having trouble using like the pad mouse whatever
59:16
Speaker 1: that's called track pad, so I probably have to switch back.
59:19
Speaker 1: I don't know why you need to know this, but
59:21
Speaker 1: I hope that that was okay enough, and I'll try
59:23
Speaker 1: to do better in the future. If it wasn't okay
59:25
Speaker 1: enough and you don't hate me, But if you hate
59:28
Speaker 1: me and you don't want to listen anymore, that's okay too.
59:32
Speaker 1: I loved having you around, and I hope you have
59:36
Speaker 1: a great future endeavor. But if you want to stick around,
59:41
Speaker 1: I will see you probably next week, and I hope
59:44
Speaker 1: you have a really good whatever I really do later weeks.
