86 [Eighty-Six] Ep. 7- Will You Remember Me? · Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

0:00
Speaker 1: Hey, it's your person, Michelle. I guess still probably, and
0:04
Speaker 1: I'm back, which makes sense because this is what I do.
0:08
Speaker 1: And today we're gonna talk about the next episode of
0:11
Speaker 1: eighty six. Yay. I don't have much else to say
0:14
Speaker 1: besides that, because I don't know. But if you hear
0:19
Speaker 1: wind chimes or birds in the background, it's because it's
0:25
Speaker 1: warm outside. It's like eighty two degrees no, sorry, eighty
0:29
Speaker 1: one degrees, thank you computer. And I have my windows
0:33
Speaker 1: open because I only have, you know, window air conditioned units,
0:38
Speaker 1: so we don't turn them on yet. It's not time.
0:40
Speaker 1: It's fucking the middle of April, so now you know
0:45
Speaker 1: how I operate. But anyway, my windows are open, so
0:48
Speaker 1: you may hear some extraneous noises and I could close them,
0:52
Speaker 1: but then I get super warm and annoyed, so I'm
0:54
Speaker 1: not gonna do that anyway. That's all I got, really,
0:58
Speaker 1: So let's just talk about eighty six like we're supposed to.
1:03
Speaker 1: Episode seven of eighty six is called will You Remember Me?
1:07
Speaker 1: Which makes me scared, honestly, and if you remember from
1:12
Speaker 1: the last episode, actually, at the very end of episode six,
1:17
Speaker 1: we had a conversation between Shin and Lena about his
1:21
Speaker 1: brother and stuff, and she was about to eat a
1:24
Speaker 1: piece of chocolate and the chocolate a heart on it,
1:26
Speaker 1: and she got all stressed out and she was flushing
1:28
Speaker 1: all over the place. So that's not exactly where we
1:31
Speaker 1: start now at all. We start with a shot of
1:35
Speaker 1: the night sky and it is August twenty fifth, twenty eight,
1:40
Speaker 1: so that puts us roughly a month after Shin and
1:44
Speaker 1: Lena's conversation in the last episode. We panned down onto
1:49
Speaker 1: like a big field, you kind of like overgrown, no
1:53
Speaker 1: longer used field, and I think it's probably a baseball field,
1:57
Speaker 1: especially because Japan really likes baseball, so it would makes sense.
2:00
Speaker 1: And there are a bunch of like Juggernauts sitting on
2:02
Speaker 1: the field. Then we see an open like box like
2:06
Speaker 1: a big crate with a bomb symbol on it and
2:10
Speaker 1: like some broken caution tape around it. We cut to
2:13
Speaker 1: a claw, like a big mechanical claw of some sort,
2:16
Speaker 1: holding a match, and then we see that it is
2:19
Speaker 1: lighting fireworks and they explode into the sky like you know,
2:22
Speaker 1: yellowy gold, kind of like the standard firework color, I guess.
2:27
Speaker 1: And then one of the spearhead people that we don't
2:30
Speaker 1: know is like holding two sparklers, and he's like running
2:33
Speaker 1: with them and like bothering the other kids, and like
2:36
Speaker 1: one of them kind of kicks one of the sparklers away,
2:39
Speaker 1: and then we cut to Hotuto and some other kids
2:42
Speaker 1: that we don't know, and they're doing like spinny firecrackers
2:45
Speaker 1: on the ground, which I looked up and are called
2:47
Speaker 1: ground spinners, so now I know, which makes plenty of sense.
2:51
Speaker 1: So like spinning those on the ground. Rydan is watching
2:55
Speaker 1: everybody like fuck around with the fireworks, and he looks
2:59
Speaker 1: over and sees that Anju is not participating. She's actually
3:03
Speaker 1: just sitting and crying. THEO also looks over at her briefly,
3:06
Speaker 1: and you know, we don't see her eyes, so we
3:08
Speaker 1: can just see the tears streaming down her face. Karina
3:12
Speaker 1: looks up at the bleachers where Shin is sitting alone,
3:16
Speaker 1: and it looks like his mouth is moving like he's
3:18
Speaker 1: talking to someone. And he's alone, so he's probably talking
3:22
Speaker 1: to Lena. Okay, I guess they just hang out and talk. Now. Anyway,
3:28
Speaker 1: lots of fireworks are going off, and then we go
3:30
Speaker 1: to the opening theme. Awesome, I guess. And it's important
3:33
Speaker 1: that I mentioned that there are now eight people standing
3:36
Speaker 1: in that field of red spider lilies. I think there
3:38
Speaker 1: were only six last time, so some people have died. Yay.
3:43
Speaker 1: Back from the opening, we're looking at a piece of
3:45
Speaker 1: paper on like a clipboard, and it apparently is a
3:47
Speaker 1: supply order form of some sort, and it says from
3:51
Speaker 1: first Division HQ, First UTV Corps, Eastern Army to First
3:57
Speaker 1: UTV Squadron, National Army Applied Depot, will ship military equipment
4:02
Speaker 1: to your division. See attached packing list for the item shifts.
4:06
Speaker 1: And then we see Carl Stall's signature under it. We
4:08
Speaker 1: can see Lena's hands. She's holding a pen and hovering
4:11
Speaker 1: over the space where she needs to put her signature,
4:14
Speaker 1: and then we cut to a guy standing at a
4:16
Speaker 1: counter of some sort and he says supplies for the
4:20
Speaker 1: Spearhead Squadron in Combat District one. We see it it
4:24
Speaker 1: is August fifteenth, twenty one forty eight, so ten days
4:27
Speaker 1: before those fireworks. Lena is now signing, and the guy
4:30
Speaker 1: at the counter looks behind her suspiciously at that box
4:33
Speaker 1: that we saw earlier, like the big crate that has
4:36
Speaker 1: a bomb on it, and he says, major, what's inside
4:40
Speaker 1: that box? Lena's like special ammunition the guy says, what's
4:46
Speaker 1: really in it? Lena lays some money out on the
4:50
Speaker 1: counter and slides it towards the guy and puts his
4:53
Speaker 1: hands over it. He seems kind of surprised. Maybe he's
4:58
Speaker 1: not used to getting bribes, or maybe he did think
5:00
Speaker 1: Lena would try to bribe him. Lena is shaking at
5:03
Speaker 1: this point and really trying hard to smile, but it
5:06
Speaker 1: does not look convincing, and she says special ammunition. Her
5:11
Speaker 1: hat like slides slightly off her head as she says this,
5:16
Speaker 1: and it just makes it even less convincing than it
5:18
Speaker 1: already was. Now we cut to her walking down a hall,
5:22
Speaker 1: looking at her empty while and then she sighs, and
5:25
Speaker 1: we hear a voice say a little more to the right.
5:28
Speaker 1: Someone like two people I guess are putting up a
5:30
Speaker 1: poster on a wall, because obviously someone is telling them
5:33
Speaker 1: if it's centered or not, and the other one's putting
5:35
Speaker 1: it up. And then the voice says, okay, stop. It
5:38
Speaker 1: is a poster for the Revolution Festival, which takes place
5:40
Speaker 1: on August twenty fifth, which is the same day that
5:42
Speaker 1: we saw the fireworks just a couple minutes ago, so
5:46
Speaker 1: makes sense. Lena looks up at the poster as she's
5:48
Speaker 1: passing by, and she is just having a really bad day.
5:52
Speaker 1: She trips over her feet and just crashes to the ground.
5:56
Speaker 1: The two guys who are working on the poster look
5:58
Speaker 1: over and salute at her, and one says, ma'am. The
6:01
Speaker 1: other one says, want to join in the festivities. Major
6:04
Speaker 1: Lena gets herself to her feet as quickly as possible
6:07
Speaker 1: and then just walks off without saying anything to these guys,
6:10
Speaker 1: and they just turn and smirk at each other. Yeah,
6:13
Speaker 1: she is not well liked. She pulls her cap down
6:16
Speaker 1: over her face, but she is just bright fucking red
6:20
Speaker 1: and she sighs. They chuckle as she walks off. At
6:24
Speaker 1: this point, the alert that I think is on her
6:26
Speaker 1: phone goes off, and we cut to her sitting down
6:29
Speaker 1: at the desk place in that control room and she says,
6:33
Speaker 1: initiate ID confirmation LAT Alena Malise, Eastern Theater Combat District one,
6:38
Speaker 1: Defense Unit one Command and Control Officer, Power raid Activate
6:42
Speaker 1: Synchronization target spearhead processors. She presses the power raid on
6:47
Speaker 1: the back of her neck and it lights up. From there,
6:49
Speaker 1: we cut to the street and it's nights and Lena
6:53
Speaker 1: is walking. She's holding a bunch of flowers, and she
6:56
Speaker 1: looks like really exhausted and upsets. So maybe this is
6:59
Speaker 1: after the events that just took place, with whatever happened
7:04
Speaker 1: with the battle, I guess. Anyway, she's walking down this
7:07
Speaker 1: like really narrow brick paved street or maybe alley with
7:10
Speaker 1: like houses on both sides. It looks very European, and
7:13
Speaker 1: there are some teens like a little bit ahead of her,
7:16
Speaker 1: and they like run by, laughing. And then we cut
7:19
Speaker 1: to the statue of that woman with the sword and
7:21
Speaker 1: the flag that we see all over the place. That's
7:23
Speaker 1: probably somebody really important, but no one has explained it yet,
7:26
Speaker 1: and we hear this click and the statue is illuminated.
7:30
Speaker 1: Lena's eyes widen. There's a crowd in this square and
7:34
Speaker 1: they're like whoa. Apparently there's a festival going on in
7:38
Speaker 1: the square and there's like tens and shit and like
7:41
Speaker 1: music and like people are walking around. Maybe they're buying things,
7:44
Speaker 1: I don't really know. There's a lot of guys that
7:47
Speaker 1: are drunk, and someone's taking pictures and the flash is
7:51
Speaker 1: going off and these kids are like playing really happily. Anyway,
7:56
Speaker 1: Lena is looking at all of this and she thinks
7:58
Speaker 1: of Karina saying, it is that hard, you should just quit.
8:02
Speaker 1: That person's camera flashes again and the screen goes white.
8:06
Speaker 1: We cut to like one of the screens in kind
8:09
Speaker 1: of the control room where has all the positions of
8:11
Speaker 1: the Juggernauts, and we hear Karina say, we don't really
8:15
Speaker 1: need you for anything. Nothing changes if we don't have
8:17
Speaker 1: a control officer. Lena says, Lieutenant Cucamila. Karina cuts her off.
8:23
Speaker 1: Listening to you trying to keep from losing it when
8:25
Speaker 1: you're not even here as distracting. Lena is now looking
8:28
Speaker 1: at the roster screen that has like the destroyed units
8:31
Speaker 1: and everybody's unit stats on it, and she says, they
8:35
Speaker 1: don't bother you and the others. She's starting to sweat
8:38
Speaker 1: those voices. We get a really quick cut to that
8:42
Speaker 1: kind of upside down shot of Kaye when Lena imagined
8:46
Speaker 1: her in her room, saying I don't want to die,
8:49
Speaker 1: and then back to now. Lena's eyes widen and she
8:53
Speaker 1: hears it hurts. The background changes. She looks up in
8:57
Speaker 1: fear and drops her flowers. But everything's okay. It's just
9:01
Speaker 1: some kid who like fell down or something, and he's like,
9:04
Speaker 1: really upset. His mom leans over and is like, you
9:07
Speaker 1: gotta be more careful, and the kid's like, mommy. The
9:10
Speaker 1: mom lifts him up and they start to walk off,
9:13
Speaker 1: and the mom's like, you silly child. Yeah, we hear
9:17
Speaker 1: Karina say, even without chin processors have to listen to
9:21
Speaker 1: dying screams all the time. We see a bunch of
9:23
Speaker 1: Alba like sitting outside in that square, eating like at
9:27
Speaker 1: a restaurant, Karina continues, and dying instantly when your juggernaut
9:31
Speaker 1: explodes is one of the best ways to go. We
9:33
Speaker 1: see a guy eating steak. Karina continues. We've all seen
9:37
Speaker 1: our friends get their limbs blown off, their faces ripped
9:40
Speaker 1: to shreds, their bodies burned all over, or their stomachs
9:42
Speaker 1: ripped open and their guts pouring out. We see some
9:45
Speaker 1: of the elbows pouring wine and cutting cake, and Lena
9:48
Speaker 1: covers her mouth and gasps. See a couple laughing on
9:51
Speaker 1: a bench and talking with each other. Karina continues, screaming
9:55
Speaker 1: in pain as they died. A mascot is given a
9:59
Speaker 1: kid a balloon, Karina continues, Compared to that, the voices
10:03
Speaker 1: of the long dead are nothing. Lena looks like she's
10:06
Speaker 1: gonna throw up, and she drops to her knees and
10:09
Speaker 1: a red balloon flies up over her into the sky.
10:12
Speaker 1: And I wonder if this is supposed to be a
10:15
Speaker 1: reference to ninety nine loof balloons or ninety nine red balloons,
10:20
Speaker 1: But I don't really know, and I'm not very smart,
10:22
Speaker 1: so I'm just putting that out there anyway, Karina continues,
10:26
Speaker 1: any of us could die at any time. We cut
10:29
Speaker 1: back to the statue of that woman again, and the
10:31
Speaker 1: balloon travels higher and higher into the atmosphere. We cut
10:36
Speaker 1: back to Lena's window sill and the flowers are in
10:40
Speaker 1: the vase on it now or v oz whatever, And
10:44
Speaker 1: next to the flowers is that glass box with all
10:47
Speaker 1: the little dead Juggernaut faces, and it looks like there's
10:50
Speaker 1: significantly more of them in there now yay. Lena is
10:54
Speaker 1: sitting at her desk and she is holding a cup
10:56
Speaker 1: of tea. It's like in a really fancy white and
10:59
Speaker 1: green yellow striped cup with like scalloped edges. Super nice. Anyway,
11:05
Speaker 1: she puts down and she says, good evening. Everyone. We
11:09
Speaker 1: hear right in, say, I hear you loud and clear.
11:12
Speaker 1: Major Sorry, it's just this guy's tonight. Lena says, Lieutenant Shuga,
11:17
Speaker 1: where's Captain Nosen? Hold On? Did something happen in battle today? Okay,
11:23
Speaker 1: I just want to stop there really really quick because
11:26
Speaker 1: I'm confused. So what do you mean? She doesn't know
11:29
Speaker 1: what happened in battle today? So obviously what Karna said
11:33
Speaker 1: was from the battle that day. So what did she
11:36
Speaker 1: just leave the call after she said that? That would
11:39
Speaker 1: be not great, right, I mean, she probably shouldn't do that,
11:43
Speaker 1: because I'm sure she is valuable. But I do want
11:46
Speaker 1: to point out that if she's freaking out when she's
11:48
Speaker 1: hearing those voices like Karina is implying, she probably is
11:51
Speaker 1: super annoying and distracting. But we haven't seen her freak
11:55
Speaker 1: out except for that one first time, so I don't
11:57
Speaker 1: know if Karina is just saying shit because she doesn't
11:59
Speaker 1: like her, or or if she's being really accurate. Anyway,
12:02
Speaker 1: Lena's all scared because she doesn't know what happened with Shin,
12:05
Speaker 1: and Righton says, no, he's just sleeping. He says he's tired.
12:09
Speaker 1: Lena's like I see writing continues. It happens sometimes. I
12:15
Speaker 1: we don't know, we don't really know the truth, but
12:18
Speaker 1: it's like, probably really exhausting, never getting a break twenty
12:22
Speaker 1: four hours a day. Lena's like, because of the voices
12:26
Speaker 1: of the legion. THEO says, it's not something you can
12:29
Speaker 1: do anything about. We just get tired sometimes being here
12:32
Speaker 1: and all. Lana's like, he's tired, yes, but the stress
12:36
Speaker 1: on all of you is increasing with all these casualties, right.
12:40
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, Lana continues, you haven't been given a
12:43
Speaker 1: new member since I arrived. I'll make it happen faster.
12:46
Speaker 1: I'll do everything I can to make it a top priority.
12:49
Speaker 1: There's this really long pause and then Lena says, Lieutenant Shuga, right,
12:55
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, that'd be good. Yeah, I don't
12:59
Speaker 1: know what that means, but it's not good. Lena continues,
13:03
Speaker 1: This unit is defending our most important base. It has
13:06
Speaker 1: the right to receive reinforcements. First, we see that like
13:10
Speaker 1: peg board corkboard that she has, and there are thirteen
13:13
Speaker 1: faces still left on the board. Lena continues, until then,
13:17
Speaker 1: I'll continue to request reinforcements from the surrounding unit, So
13:20
Speaker 1: please hang in there a little longer. Brighten's like, yeah,
13:25
Speaker 1: THEO says, thanks, I guess We kind of cut to
13:29
Speaker 1: a shot of her from outside the window, like of
13:31
Speaker 1: us looking in, and she says, of course, a car
13:35
Speaker 1: passes by. We can kind of see the reflection of
13:37
Speaker 1: its lights in the window. I think we're in a
13:39
Speaker 1: different scene now. Lena looks super determined and she knocks
13:43
Speaker 1: on a door. It's August sixteenth, twenty one, forty eight.
13:47
Speaker 1: So the very next day, Carlstahl is at his desk.
13:50
Speaker 1: His arms are crossed, and I guess Lena is standing
13:53
Speaker 1: in front of him. There's a box of cigars and
13:55
Speaker 1: a bottle of wine on the desk and have little
13:58
Speaker 1: bows on them, like maybe they're a gift, maybe they're
14:00
Speaker 1: a bribe, because that's what Lena's doing right now, apparently anyway.
14:04
Speaker 1: He says, so you decided to overstep and complain directly
14:08
Speaker 1: to me Major Malise. I feel like that's what she does.
14:12
Speaker 1: Lena says, Sir, I can't wait any longer for replacements
14:16
Speaker 1: for Spearhead. I'll do anything to help them, even beg
14:18
Speaker 1: you for aid. Carl Stall does not look happy about this.
14:23
Speaker 1: Lena continues, I've gone to every department for help, but
14:26
Speaker 1: Carl Stal cuts her off. The resupply and process her
14:29
Speaker 1: replacement plans are a settled matter. Lena's like, what. Carlstak continues,
14:34
Speaker 1: I've already informed them of your request. You probably don't know,
14:37
Speaker 1: as it's still an internal matter. Lena says, really, we're
14:42
Speaker 1: finally getting supplies. Carlstall's like, so do your duty as
14:46
Speaker 1: best as you can. Are you ready for the Revolution
14:48
Speaker 1: Festival party? Weird pivot, dude. Lena's like, Carlstaal says, attend
14:54
Speaker 1: the party in a proper dress. Isn't that the real
14:57
Speaker 1: job of a daughter of the Malise family? What the fuck, dude? No,
15:02
Speaker 1: Lena just kind of stares at him and then smiles
15:05
Speaker 1: in the nicest way possible and says, understood. I don't
15:11
Speaker 1: think it's understood, guys. Anyway. We cut to a super
15:15
Speaker 1: ornate chandelier, like multiple tears hanging from the ceiling, and
15:19
Speaker 1: it's like a painted ceiling, like ornately painted, and it
15:24
Speaker 1: is August twenty fifth, twenty forty eight. So back to
15:27
Speaker 1: where we were with the fireworks at the beginning of
15:30
Speaker 1: the episode. We see three hands clink glasses of champagne together,
15:33
Speaker 1: and there are people talking and we see Annette's but
15:37
Speaker 1: not Lena, and Annette says, Lena listen. She does not
15:42
Speaker 1: look pleased. We cut to Lena, who is wearing just
15:46
Speaker 1: the worst outfits for this events. I mean, she could
15:50
Speaker 1: have been wearing it like a tracksuit, but no, she's
15:52
Speaker 1: wearing an all black dress, like flour length, no sleeved
15:56
Speaker 1: black dress with these giant black gloves. It's so fucking cool.
16:02
Speaker 1: She is so fucking cool. Guys, this is not an
16:06
Speaker 1: appropriate dress for a party anyway, Annette says, what made
16:11
Speaker 1: you think that that would be a good choice. It's
16:13
Speaker 1: pure black. It's like you're in mourning exactly. She is
16:17
Speaker 1: in mourning. Lena raises like the side of her dress
16:21
Speaker 1: like she's gonna havel, curtsy or something with one hand,
16:24
Speaker 1: and she says, it's wonderful, isn't it? Thanks to this,
16:27
Speaker 1: no one's asked me to dance. I fucking love you.
16:30
Speaker 1: That is what I would do, not really because I
16:33
Speaker 1: don't want to wear a dress, but I have nothing
16:36
Speaker 1: but respect for this show of disdain. Great fucking job, Lena.
16:41
Speaker 1: To add some more context to this, there are some
16:43
Speaker 1: guys hanging out nearby and they are very very clearly
16:47
Speaker 1: staring at Lena, and Annette says, I mean, I agree
16:51
Speaker 1: that this party is stupid and boring, But that doesn't
16:54
Speaker 1: mean that looking nice is a bad thing. Fuck you, Annette.
16:57
Speaker 1: She looks gorgeous anyway. Lena says, well, I think it
17:03
Speaker 1: looks nice enough for me. She kind of shrugs. Annette
17:07
Speaker 1: says that's not the issue. She kind of gasps and
17:10
Speaker 1: then turns away and she's like trying to hide her
17:12
Speaker 1: face with her hands. Lena's like, what's wrong? Annette says,
17:17
Speaker 1: one of my fiances is over there, the one who
17:20
Speaker 1: sent me those fancy new suites. She kind of glances
17:23
Speaker 1: back at this group of guys behind them, and then
17:25
Speaker 1: she's like, see you, Lena. She walks off, And as
17:29
Speaker 1: she walks off, like one of the guys in that
17:31
Speaker 1: group notices clearly the one that's supposed to be her
17:34
Speaker 1: fiance type thing and looks like super confused as to
17:37
Speaker 1: why he's being avoided. Lena says, there's a rumbling sound
17:41
Speaker 1: and then her power rate goes off, and Shin says major.
17:46
Speaker 1: Lena's like, is something wrong? Captain knows him? Is it
17:49
Speaker 1: the Legion? Yeah, you fucking wish. She's like walking owards
17:53
Speaker 1: the window and she looks outside. Chin says, no, you
17:56
Speaker 1: didn't call it the usual time, so I thought i'd
17:59
Speaker 1: check in. Is ever think, Okay, if you're busy, I
18:01
Speaker 1: can contact you another day. He's like, just the fucking
18:04
Speaker 1: sweetest And I love that Lena has like a specific
18:06
Speaker 1: time that she calls, because that's how I roll when
18:08
Speaker 1: I call people, too, And it's really weird anyway. Lena
18:12
Speaker 1: exhales and she's like, I'm fine. She walks outside onto
18:16
Speaker 1: the balcony. Sorry, this is the time I usually call,
18:19
Speaker 1: isn't it. What's wrong? Shin's like, I wanted to let
18:23
Speaker 1: you know that the special ammunition arrived. Lena's like what.
18:27
Speaker 1: She hears fireworks in the power raid background and she's
18:31
Speaker 1: like it got there safely. Huh. Chin says, yeah, thank
18:35
Speaker 1: you for the fireworks. Lena's like, well, it's the Revolution festival,
18:40
Speaker 1: after all, you saw them with your brother and parents once, right,
18:43
Speaker 1: I'm sure the others have similar memories. Jin says, it's
18:47
Speaker 1: a revolution festival tradition. Huh. Can you see the fireworks
18:50
Speaker 1: from the palace lunier where you are? Lena is looking
18:53
Speaker 1: around and she's like, h and we see that there
18:56
Speaker 1: are fireworks off in the distance, like at the horizon,
18:59
Speaker 1: and she says I can, but the sky's too bright.
19:03
Speaker 1: It looks fine, Lena, you can see them fine. The
19:06
Speaker 1: night's dark and the air is clean. I wish we
19:08
Speaker 1: could see them. She stops abruptly and looks down. Someday
19:12
Speaker 1: let's all watch the fireworks and district one together. I'm
19:15
Speaker 1: sure you'll laugh, though. Shin kind of scoffs, and he's like,
19:19
Speaker 1: I don't remember it being that bad. Lena's like, well,
19:22
Speaker 1: then you'll have to see for yourself when the war
19:25
Speaker 1: is over, when you leave the army, we can all
19:27
Speaker 1: watch together. There's a pause, and then she says, I
19:32
Speaker 1: wish Lieutenant Irma and the others could have seen them too. Sorry,
19:36
Speaker 1: my timing was bad again, wasn't it. Shin's like, no,
19:40
Speaker 1: this is the first time you've been able to give
19:41
Speaker 1: them a proper gun salute. I'm sure they're pleased. They
19:44
Speaker 1: never liked the mushy stuff anyway, Na says, I see
19:49
Speaker 1: she is just kind of looking up at the fireworks peacefully.
19:53
Speaker 1: Shinn says Auntie was finally able to cry a little
19:56
Speaker 1: while ago, but of course makes Lena look less happy.
20:00
Speaker 1: Shin continues, She's the type to keep things to herself,
20:03
Speaker 1: so it meant a lot. Lena looks down, totally just
20:08
Speaker 1: destroyed emotionally now and says she won't forget Lieutenant Irma.
20:13
Speaker 1: She closes her eyes. Shin says, none of us. Will
20:17
Speaker 1: you remember my brother right? Lena opens her eyes and
20:21
Speaker 1: Shin says, that made me happy. Ana kind of rubs
20:25
Speaker 1: her thumb on her other thumb. Shin continues, because I
20:29
Speaker 1: wasn't able to remember him, Lena says, Captain knowsen. Shin continues,
20:35
Speaker 1: will you remember us as well? Major fuck? Lena jolts
20:40
Speaker 1: and then kind of outstretches her arm towards the fireworks.
20:44
Speaker 1: She just kind of silent for a second, her mouth
20:46
Speaker 1: kind of hanging open, and then she finally closes it
20:49
Speaker 1: and says, course I will. Her hand curls into a
20:53
Speaker 1: fist and it's shaking. But before that, I'm not gonna
20:58
Speaker 1: let you die. A single firework rockets upwards and explodes
21:02
Speaker 1: in the sky. It's a really pink one, and she continues,
21:07
Speaker 1: I won't let anyone else die. I don't think you're
21:11
Speaker 1: gonna have a choice, but okay. The sparks drift down
21:15
Speaker 1: behind the San Magnolian flag, which is somewhere I guess,
21:20
Speaker 1: and then we go with the title card episode seven,
21:23
Speaker 1: Will you remember Me? So that's where the name probably
21:27
Speaker 1: comes from. Yay. Anyway, of course, that's not the end
21:31
Speaker 1: of the episode. So now we see this big like
21:36
Speaker 1: cargo plane I guess, on a runway, on like a
21:39
Speaker 1: really cracked up looking runway, and its back is open,
21:44
Speaker 1: and there are some guys doing stuff like army guys,
21:49
Speaker 1: and Fido is like walking around, and it says August
21:52
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, twenty eight, so I guess it's earlier that day.
21:56
Speaker 1: Shin is looking at a clipboard with something on it
21:59
Speaker 1: and standing in front of like a bunch of boxes
22:01
Speaker 1: of supplies, and we hear someone say, hey, eighty six,
22:06
Speaker 1: this one too. Shin looks over and there's these three
22:09
Speaker 1: guys standing around that big chest that we keep seeing now,
22:13
Speaker 1: and the guy who's in front says, it's a present
22:16
Speaker 1: from your master, supposedly, as if a pig deserves a
22:18
Speaker 1: present from a human, how'd you manage to get her
22:20
Speaker 1: to sign off on it? Beg. Shin reacts as commonly
22:26
Speaker 1: as Shin always reacts, and he's just flipping through the papers,
22:29
Speaker 1: which I guess has the contents of the supplies on them,
22:32
Speaker 1: and on the second page, like at the bottom of
22:34
Speaker 1: the list, it says custom warhead, which is translated into
22:38
Speaker 1: Japanese on the side because it's in English, but then
22:40
Speaker 1: it's translated back from Japanese into English in this crunchy
22:44
Speaker 1: roll version, and it says special ammunition, which is super
22:48
Speaker 1: weird because like, who fucked that up? It says custom
22:51
Speaker 1: warhead on the fucking paper on the screen. Why wouldn't
22:55
Speaker 1: you just write that again? Why wouldn't you just stick
22:57
Speaker 1: with that translation? I don't know anyway, that annoying guy says,
23:01
Speaker 1: we're busy with the festival. Two now we cut too,
23:04
Speaker 1: kind of gets the black inside of the chest, and
23:07
Speaker 1: from like the chest's interior point of view as Chin
23:10
Speaker 1: opens it, then we see the contents, which is just
23:14
Speaker 1: like a ton of fireworks and how to toe who's
23:17
Speaker 1: walking over says what's up? Right, AND's like, yeah, what's up, Shin?
23:21
Speaker 1: And Shin takes a firework out of the box to
23:24
Speaker 1: look at it and right, and it's like, what is it?
23:29
Speaker 1: THEO says fireworks? There are so many. Karina is carrying
23:34
Speaker 1: a box nearby, and she looks over, but then she
23:36
Speaker 1: just kind of walks off and how to too's like
23:39
Speaker 1: from the major Wow. We cut now to a shower
23:43
Speaker 1: head spring water down onto something, and then a towel
23:48
Speaker 1: on a bench, and we hear Karina say, hey, Onju,
23:53
Speaker 1: we hear onjusay, what is it? We see that they
23:56
Speaker 1: are both showering naked. Obviously we just kind of see
23:59
Speaker 1: the back of them, so we kind of like see
24:02
Speaker 1: Karina's like, but but we don't see their front parts
24:06
Speaker 1: because they're facing away and Aunngi has very long hair,
24:09
Speaker 1: so we basically don't see much of her at all,
24:12
Speaker 1: which is good. I guess it doesn't really matter. They're
24:14
Speaker 1: showering and it's just like I guess a wet room
24:17
Speaker 1: and has three shower heads and there's like no separation
24:21
Speaker 1: between them or anything. Anyway, Karina says, I'm wondering if
24:25
Speaker 1: we could tell her, tell her what she's sending us,
24:28
Speaker 1: like presents and stuff. Now, Anju says, are you worried
24:33
Speaker 1: about her? Karina kind of jumps and blushes and she's like, no,
24:37
Speaker 1: why would I be worried about her? But well, she
24:41
Speaker 1: wasn't scared of Shin, so I think it'd be okay.
24:44
Speaker 1: That's all. Are smiles and makes kind of like a hm,
24:50
Speaker 1: Karina says, Shin righting and the others none of them
24:53
Speaker 1: are saying anything about it. Au looks kind of sad,
24:56
Speaker 1: and Karina continues, if we told her she'd stop calling in,
24:59
Speaker 1: that would probably be better for us. An just like, yeah,
25:04
Speaker 1: I remember what Kaye said to her. Krana says, she's
25:08
Speaker 1: not a bad person, so she shouldn't be involved with us,
25:11
Speaker 1: And just like, I think that's why Shin and Reraiden
25:15
Speaker 1: can bring themselves to say anything. They think it had
25:18
Speaker 1: hurt her. What Anju pushes some of her hair kind
25:24
Speaker 1: of over her shoulder because I guess she had been
25:25
Speaker 1: kind of washing it before, and we briefly see part
25:28
Speaker 1: of her back as the hairs kind of shift over it,
25:31
Speaker 1: and there's a scar on there, multiple scars actually, and
25:34
Speaker 1: there are definitely words we can't see what they say.
25:38
Speaker 1: Karina kind of takes a quick glance when this happens
25:41
Speaker 1: and then looks away quickly and says, Anju, are you
25:45
Speaker 1: okay on just like with what Krana continues, You've never
25:51
Speaker 1: taken a shower around anyone before. Aju says, I think
25:56
Speaker 1: it's okay now. Honestly, it's just the two of us,
25:59
Speaker 1: there's no need to hide it. She pauses for a second.
26:03
Speaker 1: Dia said, I had pretty hair when we first met.
26:07
Speaker 1: He knew that I was growing my hair out to
26:09
Speaker 1: hide it, but he asked if I was growing it
26:11
Speaker 1: out just because it was so pretty. Karina just kind
26:15
Speaker 1: of stares at her on she continues, I has gone now,
26:19
Speaker 1: so I think it's silly to keep worrying about it.
26:21
Speaker 1: She takes deep breath and then turns back to Karina says,
26:26
Speaker 1: what about you. Don't you want to tell her? Krana's
26:30
Speaker 1: lips part and then her face kind of falls into
26:33
Speaker 1: a frown. We can't see her eyes because her hair
26:37
Speaker 1: is like in her face, but some water drips down
26:40
Speaker 1: both of her cheeks and kind of plinks into the
26:44
Speaker 1: puddle on the ground, and it really really looks like tears,
26:49
Speaker 1: and she says, no, I don't think it's right. What
26:53
Speaker 1: what's not right? From there, we cut to a pool
26:57
Speaker 1: of blood in the dirt, and we see a destroyed
27:01
Speaker 1: juggernaut with like its cockpit open and someone's inside who
27:04
Speaker 1: might be dead. Karina is standing a little bit off
27:08
Speaker 1: in the distance, looking at it like it's in a ditch,
27:10
Speaker 1: and she's kind of standing outside of the ditch, and
27:13
Speaker 1: this is in some sort of like ruined city, like
27:16
Speaker 1: all of the cities right now, and she looks like
27:19
Speaker 1: she notices something, and then we see that Shin has
27:22
Speaker 1: walked over to the Juggernaut and he's talking to the pilots.
27:26
Speaker 1: The pilot, who is someone we do not know, smiles peacefully,
27:31
Speaker 1: and then she just fucking shoots him. As Corona watches us,
27:36
Speaker 1: the clouds kind of part and the sun peaks through.
27:39
Speaker 1: Shin lowers his gun, and Karna's eyes widen and she thinks,
27:43
Speaker 1: even if we die, our reaper will take us there.
27:46
Speaker 1: What the fuck? We cut to fireworks and Karina is
27:51
Speaker 1: holding a sparkler upside down, which is apparently not how
27:55
Speaker 1: you're supposed to hold them, and we're in kind of
27:57
Speaker 1: first person perspective, and she thinks, I know he'll take
28:01
Speaker 1: me there, but the sparklet gars out. Shin is sitting
28:05
Speaker 1: in the stands. Karina continues, but then what about Shin?
28:11
Speaker 1: The cloud's part and he is bathed in the moonlight.
28:16
Speaker 1: Who will carry his heart? It's August twenty seventh, twenty eight,
28:20
Speaker 1: so two days later, and a Juggernaut steps into a puddle.
28:25
Speaker 1: We see shins insignia on the side of the Juggernaut.
28:27
Speaker 1: It's very faded at this point, and here Lena say
28:32
Speaker 1: Undertaker report. Shinn says, all personnel are ready to attack
28:36
Speaker 1: on the Legion forward base. Don't forget this base is
28:39
Speaker 1: a decoy. Watch for ambushers in the surrounding areas. When
28:42
Speaker 1: we've lured them out of their holes. Two teams from
28:45
Speaker 1: the fourth platoon will attack. At this we see a
28:48
Speaker 1: gigantic missile like break through the clouds and strike a Juggernauts.
28:53
Speaker 1: We cut two fireworks, Haduto smiling with a sparkler and
28:58
Speaker 1: THEO with a sparkler as well, and then back to
29:00
Speaker 1: another large explosion. We see THEO, Ridin and Corina's terrified
29:05
Speaker 1: faces and Shin is shouting something that we can't hear.
29:09
Speaker 1: The Juggernauts run as a building collapses behind them, and
29:13
Speaker 1: another giant blast breaks through the clouds and hits another Juggernaut.
29:18
Speaker 1: We cuts to one of the kids with the sparkler,
29:21
Speaker 1: and then back to a Juggernaut getting tossed and landing
29:24
Speaker 1: super fucking hard, and then to another of the Spearhead
29:27
Speaker 1: Squadron smiling brightly as the fireworks go off, and then
29:33
Speaker 1: Lena says, analysis complete launch points at one hundred and
29:37
Speaker 1: twenty kilometers east northeast. Estimated speed of launches four thousand
29:42
Speaker 1: meters per second. I feel like that's really fast. Shin
29:46
Speaker 1: looks super frustrated, and Lena continues, it's an ultra long
29:50
Speaker 1: range artillery cannon, one we've never seen before. Sin gasps
29:54
Speaker 1: and his eyes widen. We hear a bit of static,
29:56
Speaker 1: and his brother's blue and red face like cuts in
29:59
Speaker 1: in super imposed for a second. We can only see
30:03
Speaker 1: Shin's mouth, but he looks surprised, and then he smiles
30:06
Speaker 1: a little bit because he's kind of fucked up. And
30:10
Speaker 1: Lena continues, I'm calling off the mission. Shin's shock looked
30:14
Speaker 1: returns and he gasps and it looks like he gasps,
30:18
Speaker 1: but it's totally inaudible, and Lena says, retreat, Please retreat.
30:23
Speaker 1: Shin says Roger. We see the clouds still punctured by
30:27
Speaker 1: those four missile holes. The punctured clouds fade into like
30:32
Speaker 1: a field of grass with lots of puddles in them
30:36
Speaker 1: and wrappers from the fireworks. So I guess they're in
30:39
Speaker 1: that baseball field again, and they're eight juggernauts sitting on
30:42
Speaker 1: the fields, and then we see that Spearhead is taking
30:46
Speaker 1: shelter in Like what I think is the dugout, like
30:50
Speaker 1: you know underneath the bleachers. It has been raining, and
30:53
Speaker 1: I think the rain is slowly stopping. And right And says,
30:57
Speaker 1: seems like we shook off our pursuers. Lana says, I'll
31:01
Speaker 1: get you more personnel. I'll make it happen today. Shin says, Major, Right,
31:07
Speaker 1: didn't THEO look over at him. Lana's like, this doesn't
31:10
Speaker 1: make any sense. The General already said they had a
31:12
Speaker 1: plan to bring in replacements, Shin says Major Malise. Lana gasps.
31:17
Speaker 1: Shin turns to the group and says, everyone, you're okay
31:21
Speaker 1: with us? Right? What? Right? AND's like yeah, theon nods
31:27
Speaker 1: and no one else says anything, so I guess they're
31:30
Speaker 1: okay with it. Lana's like what, Shin says, Major, that's enough.
31:37
Speaker 1: Nothing you do will change a thing. Lana's like, Captain
31:41
Speaker 1: knows in what are you saying? Chen says no replacements
31:45
Speaker 1: are coming, not a single one ever. Lana's like what.
31:52
Speaker 1: Shin continues, We're going to be wiped out. This unit
31:56
Speaker 1: is an execution ground. What we cut to some rubble
32:00
Speaker 1: like falling into a puddle, and I don't know where
32:02
Speaker 1: it fell from. It was weird. But the wind is
32:05
Speaker 1: picking up and the grass is blowing in the breeze,
32:07
Speaker 1: and the puddles have ripples in it. Now there's a
32:10
Speaker 1: long pause, and then Lena says, what are you saying
32:15
Speaker 1: on juice? Like the replacements you're talking about, they're processors
32:19
Speaker 1: that come after us. We see how to Toe's reflection
32:22
Speaker 1: upside down in a puddle for some reason, and he says,
32:26
Speaker 1: she means, after we're dead. We just got some brand
32:28
Speaker 1: new juggernauts. Those are for them. We see the sand
32:33
Speaker 1: Magnolian flag laying in a puddle, just filthy. Lena says,
32:39
Speaker 1: huh shin kind of inaudibly size and then maybe smiles slightly.
32:45
Speaker 1: And Raydon's like, the white pigs don't intend to let
32:50
Speaker 1: a single eighty six out of the eighty six district.
32:53
Speaker 1: Theo's like, they can script us with that whole five
32:56
Speaker 1: years and then you'll be out there as bait and
32:58
Speaker 1: then they get us killed, our pigs. It's terrible. Lena
33:02
Speaker 1: is like, that's that's impossible, right In says, the vast
33:07
Speaker 1: majority of processors die before their terms up. So what
33:10
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you say will happen to them after that.
33:12
Speaker 1: But it's when you got guys like us who managed
33:14
Speaker 1: to survive for years on a battlefield where death is certain.
33:18
Speaker 1: THEO continues, the fact that we survived means that we're smart,
33:23
Speaker 1: and the other eighty six look up to us as heroes.
33:26
Speaker 1: They can't have us, leading to our rebellion. Hanoto says,
33:30
Speaker 1: So anyone like that is sent to the worst of
33:31
Speaker 1: the fighting to die there, and those who still don't
33:35
Speaker 1: die end up here. Combat District one Unit one spearhead
33:40
Speaker 1: right in says, the point of this place is to
33:43
Speaker 1: make the soldiers fight until they die. This is the
33:46
Speaker 1: last place we'll serve. We'll all die here. Fuck, THEO continues,
33:53
Speaker 1: Only after the last one's dead or a replacement's gonna come,
33:56
Speaker 1: the next group waiting their own executions. Like, so we're
34:02
Speaker 1: not making you fight to protect us, but just to
34:06
Speaker 1: kill you. That's nothing but slaughter. I know, right, did
34:10
Speaker 1: you all know? Anu says, yes, I'm sorry. Lena's like
34:16
Speaker 1: since when Karina says, from the start, no one who
34:20
Speaker 1: went to war, not my sister or anyone else, came
34:23
Speaker 1: back and we weren't allowed to go out of the camps.
34:27
Speaker 1: We all knew from the start that the White Pigs
34:29
Speaker 1: don't keep their promises. Lena's like, if you knew, why
34:34
Speaker 1: did you fight? That's a good question. Why not run
34:39
Speaker 1: or try to get revenge on the Republic. Bryden says,
34:43
Speaker 1: revenge wouldn't even be hard. We just have to sit
34:46
Speaker 1: back and let the legion come through. We'd die, of course,
34:49
Speaker 1: but we could take the White Pigs with us. Lena
34:52
Speaker 1: takes a shaky breath. Then why, Brydon leans forward. Till
34:56
Speaker 1: I was twelve years old, an old Alba woman in
34:59
Speaker 1: disre nine looked after me. Na says what rite In continues.
35:05
Speaker 1: Shin was raised by an Alba priest who refused to
35:07
Speaker 1: give up his land and was sent to the camps.
35:09
Speaker 1: THEO told you about his old captain. Karina knows the
35:13
Speaker 1: very worst of the Alba. Of course, we all know
35:17
Speaker 1: how awful the White Pigs couldn't be. But Lena gasps.
35:20
Speaker 1: He continues, there are also people like Kaye who were
35:23
Speaker 1: abused by the other eighty six because of their skin color.
35:27
Speaker 1: Lena gasps again, right, and continues, Anju, Hatito and Shin
35:32
Speaker 1: all have either white pig or imperial blood. So it
35:35
Speaker 1: was the same for them. There are a scum like
35:37
Speaker 1: that among the eighty six two, and then there are
35:40
Speaker 1: a lot of proud eighty six who fought to the
35:42
Speaker 1: very end, even if most Alba or scum. Some of
35:45
Speaker 1: you said there wasn't any reason to let us die,
35:48
Speaker 1: and not all eighty six are good. He stands, so
35:51
Speaker 1: we all decided which we wanted to be. He walks
35:54
Speaker 1: over and he puts one of his feet on the field,
35:57
Speaker 1: and he's like looking up at the sky, because scum
36:01
Speaker 1: treat you like scum. Doing that doesn't make you any better.
36:04
Speaker 1: And if the only two paths are either die fighting
36:06
Speaker 1: the legion or die giving up, we'll survive to the
36:09
Speaker 1: last moment and go down fighting. That's the reason we fight.
36:13
Speaker 1: That's the source of our pride. If that means we're
36:16
Speaker 1: protecting the white pigs, well it's not ideal, but it's
36:20
Speaker 1: okay with me. The moon breaks through the clouds and
36:25
Speaker 1: lights kind of the used firework packages, and Lana says,
36:29
Speaker 1: even if you know that at the end, you'll die,
36:32
Speaker 1: Rightan's like, is anyone stupid enough to hang themselves today?
36:36
Speaker 1: Because they know they're going to die tomorrow. We have
36:38
Speaker 1: a really cool kind of low shots of ride In
36:42
Speaker 1: framed by the edges of a dugout. It's back to
36:44
Speaker 1: us and the passing clouds. It continues, even if you
36:49
Speaker 1: know you're going to the gallows, you can still choose
36:51
Speaker 1: how you climb up there. We made our choice. All
36:55
Speaker 1: we have to do now is survive, he smiles. Cut
37:00
Speaker 1: to the sparklers from a couple of days earlier, and
37:03
Speaker 1: then to Theo's really solemn face. Back to the sparklers,
37:07
Speaker 1: and then to Anju and Karna looking very determined. Then
37:11
Speaker 1: to the firework remnants falling from the sky, the Hotu
37:15
Speaker 1: toe and some guy with glasses, and back to the
37:19
Speaker 1: fireworks and too two other guys. Then then to the
37:22
Speaker 1: remnants of the fireworks fading out, and to Shin he
37:25
Speaker 1: closes his eyes. We go to the ending theme, which
37:29
Speaker 1: in this case is a shot of you know, Lena
37:31
Speaker 1: reaching her hand out towards the fireworks in like red.
37:35
Speaker 1: Her hand is like bright red, and then we get
37:37
Speaker 1: this really quick burst of Shin's hand holding a gun
37:40
Speaker 1: in blue, and then back to Lena's hand. It's actually
37:42
Speaker 1: a really fucking cool ending. I liked it. A lot,
37:47
Speaker 1: but that's not the end, because it's never the end
37:49
Speaker 1: in this show. Something metals being shot out. It's too
37:52
Speaker 1: close for me to tell. And then we see that
37:54
Speaker 1: we are in the ruins of a city and there
37:56
Speaker 1: are Juggernauts fighting Legion, obviously, and it says that this
37:59
Speaker 1: is the Eastern Theater Combat District sixteen Unit one, folks.
38:04
Speaker 1: A Juggernaut gets like fucking blasted, and we see this
38:08
Speaker 1: like gigantic gun blasting at like buildings and shits, and
38:14
Speaker 1: it's like taken out Juggernauts left and right, and then
38:17
Speaker 1: we see what it is. It is this gigantic, massive
38:20
Speaker 1: Legion thing, and then we get the next episode title.
38:24
Speaker 1: Let's go closing thoughts, I guess first, I just want
38:28
Speaker 1: to point out that I am terrible at figuring out
38:31
Speaker 1: what is happening in the action scenes in this because
38:34
Speaker 1: all of the max look very very similar. Sure, the
38:38
Speaker 1: Juggernauts are more beat up looking than the Legion things,
38:42
Speaker 1: which are all shiny and pretty, But a lot of
38:44
Speaker 1: times it's really hard for me to tell what's going on.
38:47
Speaker 1: I am trying my best. I hope I'm not fucking
38:49
Speaker 1: anything up. Ah. But more importantly, we just learned the
38:54
Speaker 1: bad thing, the other bad thing, which is that there
38:57
Speaker 1: is no out for them. They don't ever get to
39:01
Speaker 1: go home. This is a death sentence, which many of you,
39:05
Speaker 1: I'm sure probably figured out that they were never going back.
39:08
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen in so many of the previous
39:11
Speaker 1: episodes Lena says something and then everybody kind of get
39:14
Speaker 1: quiet about, like, you know, what they're gonna do when
39:16
Speaker 1: they go home, like because they know they're not. But
39:19
Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of interesting that they decided
39:21
Speaker 1: they weren't going to tell her. Also, I think it's
39:23
Speaker 1: interesting that she doesn't know. So I wonder if like
39:26
Speaker 1: some of the handlers know because they're terrible people, so
39:29
Speaker 1: it's fine, but like nobody told her because they knew
39:32
Speaker 1: what she would do, which is be very upset and
39:35
Speaker 1: hopefully just take down the government. So they just didn't
39:38
Speaker 1: tell her, and they were just never going to tell her.
39:40
Speaker 1: They're just gonna let her think that the government is
39:42
Speaker 1: just totally in competence by not preventing any reinforcements. I
39:46
Speaker 1: don't know, but I also think it's interesting that Lena
39:49
Speaker 1: like didn't know about this, not just because she hadn't
39:51
Speaker 1: been told, but like she believes that after five years,
39:56
Speaker 1: you get to be a citizen again. It's funny, Lena,
39:59
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a single non ALBA person in any
40:02
Speaker 1: of the settings that you've been walking around in or
40:05
Speaker 1: at the bus stop or like anywhere. It's always silver hair,
40:10
Speaker 1: silver dized people. So like, where are those citizens, Lena?
40:14
Speaker 1: Where did you? Where did they go? Where did they go?
40:19
Speaker 1: But I guess when you're in a society where you
40:23
Speaker 1: are the majority type person, everyone looks like you around
40:28
Speaker 1: you all the time, so he's not really thinking about it,
40:30
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, regardless, it seems pretty incompetent, like
40:36
Speaker 1: you don't want to kill off your resources, And I
40:39
Speaker 1: know that they really really want to kill the eighty
40:43
Speaker 1: six because in one sense it does make sense. You
40:46
Speaker 1: don't want these people to be heroes. You don't want
40:49
Speaker 1: them looked at as leaders that could start a revolution
40:53
Speaker 1: or even as martyrs. And with this Spearhead Squadron, it's
40:58
Speaker 1: getting a little close, Like we know that the other
41:02
Speaker 1: squads know about Shin, Like when all the kids got
41:06
Speaker 1: together when they first became Spearhead Squadron, they knew about
41:09
Speaker 1: him already. And remember in Lena's other unit, when she
41:13
Speaker 1: was telling them that she was leaving that woman that
41:16
Speaker 1: she was talking to. Just thought it was fucking hilarious
41:19
Speaker 1: that she was gonna have to go be with Shin,
41:21
Speaker 1: so like he's a big deal already, And I get
41:25
Speaker 1: you don't want this person to get any more power
41:28
Speaker 1: and any more sway with the people that you're abusing,
41:31
Speaker 1: because yeah, they could decide it's finally time to storm
41:34
Speaker 1: the fucking capitol and kill you guys. But it's also
41:37
Speaker 1: pretty fucking dumb because you're losing people who were protecting
41:42
Speaker 1: your country. But as far as they know, the Legion
41:46
Speaker 1: is on the decline and it's going to shut down
41:49
Speaker 1: in two years, So all they have to do is
41:50
Speaker 1: have enough eighty six to throw at them until then.
41:54
Speaker 1: And I guess they believe they have that. So that's
41:57
Speaker 1: fucked up. Yeah, But so they really hate these kids
42:00
Speaker 1: that much, they hate these people that much they just
42:02
Speaker 1: want to exterminate them. Yeah, that's obviously happened in history before,
42:08
Speaker 1: so I believe it. Anyway. I just thought it was
42:12
Speaker 1: interesting that they didn't want to tell her because they
42:14
Speaker 1: knew would hurt her. But the question is from here
42:18
Speaker 1: now that Lena knows that this is not even to
42:22
Speaker 1: protect anyone. It's just to murder people, to genocide a population.
42:28
Speaker 1: Where do we go from here? Like? Is she going
42:31
Speaker 1: to let them continue to fight in absolutely known traps?
42:36
Speaker 1: Like can she stop anything? Can she change the trajectory
42:40
Speaker 1: of this because it's not like this is an unknown
42:43
Speaker 1: to everyone else. Everyone knows how bad this is. She's
42:48
Speaker 1: the only one who cares. So what is she gonna do?
42:52
Speaker 1: What are any of them gonna do? Are we just
42:54
Speaker 1: going to let them die and then move on to
42:56
Speaker 1: a new set of eighty six to follow, Like what
42:59
Speaker 1: happens from here? And I guess that's what we find
43:02
Speaker 1: out going forward or something? Yeah, I think that's really
43:08
Speaker 1: all I had to say. I wish I had more,
43:11
Speaker 1: but I think that was like the biggest part of
43:12
Speaker 1: the episode was just her learning about another layer of
43:17
Speaker 1: just intense atrocity that this government is kimnting, I guess.
43:22
Speaker 1: And now it looks like we're down to eight members
43:26
Speaker 1: of Spearhead judging by the Juggernauts in the field, So
43:30
Speaker 1: that's not a lot. I mean, sure, we didn't even
43:33
Speaker 1: know all of the people who died, and there are
43:36
Speaker 1: still people that I have no idea who the fuck
43:38
Speaker 1: they are, which they probably should have fleshed them out
43:41
Speaker 1: a little better because I think they're probably gonna die,
43:43
Speaker 1: you know, And it's not gonna hurt me because I
43:47
Speaker 1: don't even know who they are. Like when they were
43:49
Speaker 1: sitting in the dug at there were people, I was like, wow,
43:51
Speaker 1: I've never seen them before. So like, I'm pretty sure
43:55
Speaker 1: in the light novel, things are a little bit more
43:57
Speaker 1: fleshed out, if I'm remembering correctly, But yeah, I don't
44:02
Speaker 1: know man, those words. I'm not really sure where I'm
44:06
Speaker 1: going with this, but we're definitely gonna see what happens
44:11
Speaker 1: going forward. I do want to ask you, since we
44:14
Speaker 1: are on episode seven, so we are more than halfway
44:18
Speaker 1: through this first core, how do you guys want to
44:21
Speaker 1: do this? Like I can go straight into the second
44:24
Speaker 1: core right after this, or I can do what I
44:28
Speaker 1: was kind of considering doing, and I can take a break.
44:30
Speaker 1: I can cover the summer her cover Died, which is
44:34
Speaker 1: like a horror anime with like Imbasi sound body horror
44:37
Speaker 1: kind of and sort of gay as well. That's gonna
44:43
Speaker 1: be airing in the summer that I think could be
44:45
Speaker 1: super fucking fun. And then after that's done, we could
44:48
Speaker 1: go back to eighty six, so it kind of be
44:51
Speaker 1: like the way it was originally broadcast, where we didn't
44:53
Speaker 1: have two consecutive cores, it was split. The problem with
44:56
Speaker 1: that is I will tell you right now that the
44:59
Speaker 1: last episod of this core eighty six ends on a
45:02
Speaker 1: pre severe cliffhanger, so it might hurt you if I
45:05
Speaker 1: did that. So if you have an opinion, you could
45:09
Speaker 1: let me know. My little email thing is in the
45:12
Speaker 1: show notes, So just yeah, you can email me, and
45:16
Speaker 1: you can tell me which one you want to do.
45:18
Speaker 1: Two cores together for eighty six or end this core,
45:24
Speaker 1: do Summer Hikaru Died Live, or you know, as it
45:28
Speaker 1: airs and then back to eighty six. Totally up to you.
45:32
Speaker 1: I'm down to do either way, And if you don't
45:35
Speaker 1: tell me, I'll just have to figure it out myself,
45:37
Speaker 1: which is terrible, but I'll do it. I mean, this
45:42
Speaker 1: is my fault. I'm the one who put it out there,
45:44
Speaker 1: so I may have to, you know, decide myself. I
45:49
Speaker 1: don't know why that's such a big deal. It's not
45:51
Speaker 1: anyway I'm gonna go. I'm obviously super stressed out and
45:55
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize, so I hope you have a
45:57
Speaker 1: really good whatever. Yeah, and I'll be back next week,
46:02
Speaker 1: you know, unless everything ends, so later webs
