0:00
Speaker 1: Hey, it's your person, Michelle. I guess just kind of
0:04
Speaker 1: here being really really warm because it's ninety nine degrees outside,
0:09
Speaker 1: and that means it's eighty one degrees in my house
0:13
Speaker 1: and it can't get any cooler because I don't have
0:15
Speaker 1: central air, and I have this one portable air conditioner
0:20
Speaker 1: that it could only get down to eighty one. Like
0:23
Speaker 1: it's trying so hard all day long, all day yesterday
0:27
Speaker 1: to just get down to what I have it set out,
0:29
Speaker 1: which is seventy eight, and it just can't do it. Guys.
0:33
Speaker 1: So the coolest room in my house is eighty one
0:37
Speaker 1: degrees right now. My kitchen is eighty four. My upstairs
0:41
Speaker 1: is in the nineties probably, I don't know. I opened
0:44
Speaker 1: the windows this morning up there and it felt cool outside,
0:47
Speaker 1: and it was already like eighty two or eighty three.
0:50
Speaker 1: So it's bad. It's really bad. But that's okay because
0:56
Speaker 1: I don't know why it would be okay. It's fine, honestly.
1:00
Speaker 1: I mean, I have some sort of acy, even if
1:03
Speaker 1: it's just not very good. So that's good. Right. Anyway,
1:08
Speaker 1: enough about my suffering, we probably should talk about other
1:12
Speaker 1: suffering in eighty six, specifically the sixteenth episode which is
1:17
Speaker 1: the one that we're on, which is called soda demo
1:20
Speaker 1: or even So. I know that you don't care, but
1:24
Speaker 1: there's this person on Reddit who like really likes soda demo,
1:28
Speaker 1: just like the phrase, and they're like super excited whenever
1:33
Speaker 1: an anime character says it. So every time an anime
1:36
Speaker 1: character says soda demo, I get excited too, just vicariously
1:40
Speaker 1: or something like for them. So, yes, it's called even so,
1:46
Speaker 1: which is soda demo. So let's talk about it, because
1:49
Speaker 1: that's what we're supposed to do, right right Anyway, in
1:53
Speaker 1: the last episode, we finally saw Lena for like the
1:56
Speaker 1: first time in like almost two episodes, so that was cool,
2:01
Speaker 1: but that was basically the end of the episode. And
2:04
Speaker 1: this episode we start not right there. So we see
2:08
Speaker 1: the night sky with like tons of stars and like
2:12
Speaker 1: the Milky Way. It's beautiful. The camera kind of pans
2:15
Speaker 1: down until we finally get to the ground where a
2:18
Speaker 1: legion is sitting under the stars and a voice says
2:23
Speaker 1: no face to Wide Area Network one. The legion stirs
2:27
Speaker 1: and it begins to walk. The voice continues, we will
2:31
Speaker 1: now begin full scale combat operations. All legions within the
2:35
Speaker 1: network are to cease stand by operations. So now they're
2:38
Speaker 1: just like a lot of legion walking and we're kind
2:42
Speaker 1: of looking through one of their viewing screens now, and
2:45
Speaker 1: the voice continues, Our targets are the giodfveedteracy in the
2:48
Speaker 1: eastern region. A bunch of arrows pointing to the right
2:51
Speaker 1: kind of turn up on the screen, and then all
2:53
Speaker 1: the legions turn right, and the voice continues. The United
2:57
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Roagracia to the north. The Legion kind of
3:00
Speaker 1: like split off now and now they're like kind of
3:02
Speaker 1: walking around like cliffs and stuff, and the voice continues,
3:07
Speaker 1: the Alliance of Wall to the south and the Republic
3:10
Speaker 1: of San Magnolia to the west. That's both of the
3:13
Speaker 1: places that we have people in. That's not great. It continues.
3:17
Speaker 1: All legion attached to this network begin the attack, and
3:21
Speaker 1: then we have the opening theme. Yay back from the opening.
3:26
Speaker 1: Rydon is asleep in bed and we see kind of
3:29
Speaker 1: Shin's shadow kind of approach him, and then he pulls
3:34
Speaker 1: the pillow from beneath Rydon's head, which seems excessive. Rydon
3:38
Speaker 1: kind of makes like ansound and wakes up and looks
3:40
Speaker 1: up at Shin. Shin makes like this many kind of
3:44
Speaker 1: motion with his thumb, and he's like, wake up. He
3:47
Speaker 1: is like dressed, and I guess ready to go. Ryden's like, listen,
3:51
Speaker 1: he sits up. At least they wake up before you
3:54
Speaker 1: yank out my pillow for real. Shin throws the pillow
3:58
Speaker 1: back down on his bed and starts to walk away,
4:00
Speaker 1: and he's like, there's no time. Righton says they're finally coming.
4:04
Speaker 1: Shin is now standing in the doorway with his back
4:07
Speaker 1: to ride In, and he says, yeah. We now just
4:10
Speaker 1: have a shot of one of their feet walking down
4:12
Speaker 1: the hallway and we see that it is August twenty eighth,
4:16
Speaker 1: twenty one forty nine, so it's about a month after
4:19
Speaker 1: we last saw them. And we hear right and say
4:22
Speaker 1: how many. Shin's like, I don't even want to try
4:26
Speaker 1: to count, if anything. I wish someone would tell me.
4:29
Speaker 1: Right In, who we see is kind of walking a
4:31
Speaker 1: bit behind. Shin says, this isn't like you. Shin's like,
4:36
Speaker 1: this is close to the worst case I imagined. Some
4:39
Speaker 1: of the forces that I had expected them to send
4:40
Speaker 1: to other nations are headed towards the Federacy. The West
4:43
Speaker 1: appears to be the most important theaters at the Legion.
4:46
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that makes sense because that's where
4:48
Speaker 1: they're from, right right, And it's like, well, ain't that
4:51
Speaker 1: an honor? He doesn't realize that Shin has stopped walking
4:55
Speaker 1: ahead of him until he passes right by him, and
4:58
Speaker 1: then he turns back and says, you we can't see
5:02
Speaker 1: Shin's face. We really haven't been able to see it
5:04
Speaker 1: for most of this time, but he says during the
5:07
Speaker 1: battle today, don't connect to me unless it's absolutely necessary.
5:12
Speaker 1: We see his expression now. He looks I don't know,
5:15
Speaker 1: pissed off, disgusted. I'm not really sure what this is,
5:19
Speaker 1: but he's sweating. He continues, I thought I was used
5:22
Speaker 1: to it, but what I'm feeling tonight is rough. Right
5:25
Speaker 1: In kind of doesn't know what to say for a second,
5:26
Speaker 1: and then he's like Roger, Shin continues, I'll let you
5:30
Speaker 1: get the unit prepared. He starts to walk again, wake
5:33
Speaker 1: the others. Right In is just kind of still standing
5:36
Speaker 1: there as he walks away, and he says, what about you. Shin,
5:40
Speaker 1: who we just hear now says this isn't the time
5:42
Speaker 1: to stay quiet. Yay do something. We cut to Shin
5:46
Speaker 1: pointing a gun very calmly, and we have like an
5:48
Speaker 1: overlay from the previous conversation of him saying, I'm waking
5:52
Speaker 1: up the entire army. Yay. We see that he is
5:56
Speaker 1: holding up the control room. Basically he has his gun
5:59
Speaker 1: pointed at one of the guys and everyone gasps because yeah,
6:03
Speaker 1: why are you doing this? And then everything turns red
6:08
Speaker 1: as an alarm goes off. So when I watched it
6:10
Speaker 1: through this time here, I was like, Oh, did he
6:14
Speaker 1: get there as soon as the alarm was going off. No,
6:17
Speaker 1: he forced them to pull the alarm and get ready
6:21
Speaker 1: by gunpoint. Yay. I mean, if you gotta do it
6:24
Speaker 1: that way, you gotta do it that way. We kind
6:27
Speaker 1: of see like the outside of the hangar now and
6:29
Speaker 1: there's like tanks and stuff like driving around if people
6:32
Speaker 1: are running and a voice says, shit, if this turns
6:34
Speaker 1: out to be a drill, the so called weeper is
6:37
Speaker 1: gonna have an accidental bullet to the back. Geez dude.
6:40
Speaker 1: We see Bernholt, the guy with the scar over his
6:42
Speaker 1: nose and I forgot his name in the last episode.
6:45
Speaker 1: He's like sitting in what I think is like the
6:47
Speaker 1: back of a truck, and I guess the person next
6:49
Speaker 1: to him, but we can't see him. Says I'll shoot
6:51
Speaker 1: him where he stands. Brunholt's like, you wouldn't stand a chance.
6:56
Speaker 1: Stop talking and get ready. We cut to the seat
7:00
Speaker 1: of what I believe is a Reagan leaf where a
7:02
Speaker 1: blue envelope has been placed and it has like a
7:05
Speaker 1: little pink sticker of a whale kind of closing the
7:08
Speaker 1: back of it. It's obviously Shin's Reagan Leaf because he's
7:13
Speaker 1: standing over it, like looking down at the envelope, and
7:17
Speaker 1: the alarm's gone off in the background. And then we
7:19
Speaker 1: see Ryden who is like buckling his seatbelt. He looks
7:23
Speaker 1: over at Shin who's sitting in the cockpit now as
7:25
Speaker 1: Shin's cockpit is closing, and Shin is already reading whatever
7:30
Speaker 1: the hell the contents of that note are, and we
7:33
Speaker 1: can see his mouth now, just his mouth in kind
7:36
Speaker 1: of a slight frown. Maybe it's hard to tell with him,
7:40
Speaker 1: but just as the door shuts, his lips curl up
7:45
Speaker 1: into a smile, but like not a good smile, guys.
7:49
Speaker 1: And then we go to black. Yeah, I wonder what
7:53
Speaker 1: was in there. So now we see like lots of
7:56
Speaker 1: big gun things kind of at a border with like
7:58
Speaker 1: sandbags in front of them, like clearly the border of
8:02
Speaker 1: maybe the Federacy or whatever. And the big gun things,
8:05
Speaker 1: I don't know what they are. Maybe they're howitzers because
8:08
Speaker 1: we talked about those earlier, or like boarders or like cannons,
8:12
Speaker 1: I really don't know. Some sort of big gun that
8:15
Speaker 1: a person would like stand behind, I don't know. And
8:19
Speaker 1: then there's people with like rifles like sticking out of
8:22
Speaker 1: like a trench and there's like a barbed wire fence
8:24
Speaker 1: and stuff, and it is snowing, and one of the
8:28
Speaker 1: guys in the trench gasps, and we can see off
8:31
Speaker 1: in the distance just lights shimmering on the horizon, like
8:36
Speaker 1: tons of them, like rapidly approaching, which I'm pretty sure
8:40
Speaker 1: our legion, but honestly, it just looks like little light dots.
8:45
Speaker 1: I get what they were going for, like it's the
8:47
Speaker 1: light on the front of the legion, but it doesn't
8:49
Speaker 1: look like that. It just looks like sparkles, honestly, So sorry, guys,
8:53
Speaker 1: this didn't work for me. Anyway, We get a close
8:56
Speaker 1: up so we know that they're a legion and not sparkles,
8:59
Speaker 1: and when the guy is like what, and another guy
9:02
Speaker 1: says are those all? There's so many. There's this sudden
9:07
Speaker 1: whistling sound, like the whistling falling sound, and they all
9:11
Speaker 1: look up, which honestly is not gonna help anyone at
9:14
Speaker 1: this point. And then there's a bunch of like sparkles
9:17
Speaker 1: like Kannada light flares, and then all these like explosions,
9:21
Speaker 1: which is followed directly by more of the same in
9:23
Speaker 1: a different location. And the guy's like duck back into
9:27
Speaker 1: the trench and luckily, I don't think they've been hit
9:30
Speaker 1: or anything. And someone says incoming fire for effect, and
9:34
Speaker 1: at that point they're just hit by a bunch of missiles.
9:37
Speaker 1: And then like these lasers come out of the sky,
9:40
Speaker 1: like big concentrations, almost like circular areas of lasers, and
9:45
Speaker 1: they just fucking hit the ground and like a bunch
9:48
Speaker 1: of people are killed because big lasers. And there's this
9:52
Speaker 1: guy who's like on a phone and he's like defensive
9:56
Speaker 1: line one has taken heavy enemy damage, requesting reinforcements from
9:59
Speaker 1: the rear. The baby howitzer is like fire at the legion,
10:03
Speaker 1: but like it's not doing much of anything at all,
10:06
Speaker 1: and the legion fire is like a really big gun
10:10
Speaker 1: and one of the Federacy's canons or whatever. Fire's back,
10:13
Speaker 1: and then we cut to like one of the trenches
10:16
Speaker 1: that just filled with like really really hurt and probably
10:19
Speaker 1: dead guys and just splattered with blood everywhere, and one
10:23
Speaker 1: of the guys who's holding his arm says, everyone who's
10:26
Speaker 1: still alive, gather up your weapons and AMMO, we're defending
10:29
Speaker 1: this place no matter what. Then he looks over and gasps,
10:32
Speaker 1: a really big Legion is like right there next to him.
10:37
Speaker 1: Now we see like a control room of some kind,
10:39
Speaker 1: and someone says, we've calculated the enemy's total numbers displaying
10:43
Speaker 1: on the monitor. There's like a screen now that shows
10:47
Speaker 1: like all the Legion like symbols on it, and there's
10:50
Speaker 1: like a lot of them, but they don't tell me
10:52
Speaker 1: how many there are, which would have been helpful, but
10:54
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of them, and there's not a
10:56
Speaker 1: lot of Federacy little symbols. Greath whose name I all
11:00
Speaker 1: we get wrong is sitting at a desk and she's like,
11:03
Speaker 1: oh no, so everyone in the theater is under a
11:06
Speaker 1: large scale assault. Back to the screen, we see the
11:10
Speaker 1: Legion are like going at the little Federacy symbols and
11:13
Speaker 1: the Federacy symbols are disappearing, so that's really not good.
11:18
Speaker 1: Greth says, they're far more than we expected. Her eyes widen.
11:22
Speaker 1: The Western Front is going to collapse. We see now
11:25
Speaker 1: a screen of like, I guess what's happening in Roo
11:27
Speaker 1: Gracia and Walt and a voice says the United Kingdom
11:31
Speaker 1: of ro Gracia and the Alliance of Walder experiencing similar attacks.
11:35
Speaker 1: Someone else says they're both giving it. They're all but
11:38
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll be able to last. Then
11:40
Speaker 1: we hear Shinn say, ma'am, GREATH gasps, Lieutenant knowsh what's
11:45
Speaker 1: the situation? When will you be ready to go? Shin,
11:48
Speaker 1: who we're like not seeing his full face again, says whenever.
11:53
Speaker 1: Norlych Squadron is all ready to go. We see ride
11:55
Speaker 1: in theo Anju and Karina like in their cockpits. They
11:58
Speaker 1: are all ready to go, and GREATH says, how are
12:01
Speaker 1: you ready so fast? They should tell her? Shin's like,
12:05
Speaker 1: you didn't authorize us to prepare, but please save any
12:09
Speaker 1: lectures for later. There's a bunch of people in the
12:12
Speaker 1: control room with GREATH listening in like very very confused,
12:16
Speaker 1: and GREATH says, all right, tell me about it later.
12:19
Speaker 1: Maintain our combat lines until the other units are ready
12:22
Speaker 1: to go, no matter the costs. We get a shot
12:24
Speaker 1: of Shin's mouth as he smiles yep, and then he
12:28
Speaker 1: puts his hands on the controls and says Roger. We
12:32
Speaker 1: get to a high upshot of the city that is
12:35
Speaker 1: very much on fire. I think it's an abandoned city.
12:38
Speaker 1: I don't think it's currently occupied by the Federacy city,
12:41
Speaker 1: but I'm not really sure. And a voice says retreat.
12:45
Speaker 1: Soldiers are like all running around the burning city, and
12:48
Speaker 1: somebody says the lowser coming. At that point, one of
12:51
Speaker 1: them gets hit by a laser, and a guy that
12:54
Speaker 1: was nearby the lasered guy like reaches out and he's
12:57
Speaker 1: like commander, And this other guy like puts his hand
12:59
Speaker 1: on the first guy's shoulder and he's like, don't go.
13:02
Speaker 1: No one can save them. Now follow me. They like
13:05
Speaker 1: run off, and the lo's is approaching from the other direction,
13:08
Speaker 1: and they like round a corner to try to escape,
13:11
Speaker 1: but then this big legion shows up and like points
13:13
Speaker 1: a gun at them. There are three guys now, so
13:15
Speaker 1: I don't know where the other one came from, but
13:17
Speaker 1: one of them gasps and then Shin's there and he
13:20
Speaker 1: like comes jumping off a building, and the legion like
13:22
Speaker 1: tries to fire at him instead, but I guess that
13:24
Speaker 1: doesn't work, and it like starts sparking, and then Shin
13:27
Speaker 1: lands just as it flows up, and the guys see
13:31
Speaker 1: the insignia on his reagan leaf and one of the
13:34
Speaker 1: guys says, a Reagan leaf. At this point, another legion
13:38
Speaker 1: comes around the corner and Shin shoots it dead, and
13:41
Speaker 1: then yet another legion comes, but this other reagan leaf
13:44
Speaker 1: like grapple hooks down and like crashes into it and
13:46
Speaker 1: like punches it into the ground. Some of the other
13:49
Speaker 1: legion that are around are starting to like back off
13:51
Speaker 1: of the situation now, which makes sense, but they get
13:55
Speaker 1: shot down by like two more Reagan leaf that are
13:58
Speaker 1: on the roof, and at first guy is like, so
14:01
Speaker 1: this is the Nordlich squadron. Shin, who is behind them, says,
14:05
Speaker 1: are there any survivors? But guys like not anymore. We're
14:09
Speaker 1: the last. The others were all killed by those scrapheads.
14:13
Speaker 1: Then we like see a reagan leaf like climb in
14:15
Speaker 1: a building and we hear Shinn say, I see withdrawn group,
14:18
Speaker 1: Please we'll buy you time. Fido is there and he's
14:21
Speaker 1: like walking over to Shin and then we see another
14:24
Speaker 1: Reagan leaf and these like things kind of like pop
14:27
Speaker 1: out of it's like I don't know, area, shoulder place
14:32
Speaker 1: and they kind of point up and we see a
14:35
Speaker 1: screen with like objects being targeted, which I assume are
14:39
Speaker 1: the Legion, and there are a lot of them being
14:42
Speaker 1: targeted and on. She says, Okay, let's get to work.
14:45
Speaker 1: The things that kind of have popped up on her
14:48
Speaker 1: Reagan leaf have like these little individual compartments and they
14:51
Speaker 1: open and they just file like tons of missiles, and
14:55
Speaker 1: the missiles like open up and explode on the legion
14:58
Speaker 1: and then there's like this lo long line of explosions
15:01
Speaker 1: and Andrew smiles. We cut to a screen with a
15:04
Speaker 1: Legion in its crosshairs and Karina's like, there they are.
15:08
Speaker 1: She's wearing like this really weird advisor thing. She says,
15:11
Speaker 1: look at them all. Her Reagan leaf has this very
15:14
Speaker 1: long gun on it, and she continues like anson had
15:18
Speaker 1: their nest kicked in. She smirks and she fires and
15:21
Speaker 1: like hits it dead on. She says, I'll start with
15:25
Speaker 1: their commander. I'll be changing places, so back me up
15:28
Speaker 1: Bridon's like Roger Karina leaves the little ones to me.
15:31
Speaker 1: He's like just shooting at random legion and stuff. We
15:34
Speaker 1: go to eight Reagan Leaf, who is like grabbing the
15:37
Speaker 1: ledge of a roof with its grappling cooks and it
15:39
Speaker 1: might be THEO, but I'm getting really confused now, But
15:42
Speaker 1: THEO says, Okay, here we go. He like bounds forward
15:46
Speaker 1: and like leaps from roof to roof and he's like
15:48
Speaker 1: sliding on the top of the roof and he like
15:50
Speaker 1: shoots a legion that's like below him, and it explodes,
15:52
Speaker 1: and he grins and looks over. But I think at
15:55
Speaker 1: this point maybe we're looking at Shin again. But no
15:57
Speaker 1: one helped me here, like there was there's no direction
16:01
Speaker 1: for me to know that this was Shin until so
16:02
Speaker 1: much later that it was confusing anyway. Oregonly tosses a
16:06
Speaker 1: grappling hook and then like jumps off a roof before
16:09
Speaker 1: it gets hit by, like I guess, an explosion, and
16:12
Speaker 1: like flings himself from the grappling hook like around a building,
16:16
Speaker 1: like in a circle around it, and like fires at
16:18
Speaker 1: the legion below, like killing them, and then lands and
16:22
Speaker 1: then like starts slashing them with his high frequency blade,
16:24
Speaker 1: which is how you know it's Shin, and he like
16:27
Speaker 1: jumps onto another big one and like spears it and
16:29
Speaker 1: then hops off when he lands. Another Federacy mech is
16:32
Speaker 1: coming around the corner, not a reaganly felld reb of
16:36
Speaker 1: some kind, I assume, and the mech person says, don't shoot.
16:41
Speaker 1: Nordlych Squadron were allies that headless skeleton. You're the commander, right,
16:47
Speaker 1: Shin says, Lieutenant Shine knows In, commander of the Nordlch Squadron.
16:51
Speaker 1: What's the situation? The guy's like it appears we managed
16:55
Speaker 1: to drive off the first wave of Legion attackers, as
16:58
Speaker 1: have the other combat areas. We now see inside Shin's
17:02
Speaker 1: cockpit for the first time in a really long time,
17:04
Speaker 1: but you know, not his eyes, because obviously something's going
17:08
Speaker 1: on with his eyes. And the guy continues, this only
17:11
Speaker 1: happened because your emergency unit managed to hold them off.
17:14
Speaker 1: You saved a lot of lives. The other units have
17:17
Speaker 1: all launched. Shin pulls up a screen that like has
17:20
Speaker 1: everyone's stats on it, and we see that there's like
17:24
Speaker 1: space for fifteen Reagan Leaf only him and these Spearhead
17:29
Speaker 1: Squadron people. Have names. The other ones are like a something,
17:32
Speaker 1: so don't actually know if they're really there. I was
17:35
Speaker 1: really confused because it looks like they all have stats,
17:38
Speaker 1: but we only hear him talking to you know, like
17:41
Speaker 1: his core Spearhead group, So I'm really just not sure
17:43
Speaker 1: what's going on anyway. The guy says it's okay. Now
17:47
Speaker 1: fall back and resupply, then follow orders from commands. Shin
17:51
Speaker 1: is now leaking at a screen that has like Fido
17:52
Speaker 1: stats and weapons stats. They all look fine, actually like
17:55
Speaker 1: they still have a bunch of weapons. Fido's still doing
17:58
Speaker 1: pretty good. The guy continues, the Federacy will handle this. Uh,
18:03
Speaker 1: excuse me, they're part of the Federacy. I don't like
18:07
Speaker 1: that at all. Shin cuts him off. I'm sorry, but
18:09
Speaker 1: that lastly, you know, was just an advanced force. The
18:12
Speaker 1: second group is the main one. There's a lot of
18:15
Speaker 1: dead legion around. Shin continues. If we fall back now,
18:19
Speaker 1: this area will collapse. The guy's like what, Shin says,
18:23
Speaker 1: We'll leave this area to you. We're going to intercept
18:26
Speaker 1: the main wave. If we can take down the front
18:28
Speaker 1: line of their advance, it'll slow them down. He starts
18:31
Speaker 1: to walk away. The guy turns wait, Lieutenant Shin grappling
18:35
Speaker 1: hooks onto a building and the guy says, wait, what
18:38
Speaker 1: do you mean. Shin jumps up and just says transmission over.
18:44
Speaker 1: He lands on the roof. You all heard that right.
18:47
Speaker 1: He meets up with the rest of the Reaganly friends
18:51
Speaker 1: and they're like all running down like some train tracks now,
18:54
Speaker 1: and Chin says, follow me if you want to live,
18:56
Speaker 1: and everyone's like Roger. We cut to French who is
19:01
Speaker 1: looking out a window at base, looking kind of worried,
19:05
Speaker 1: and outside there's a woman and she's like, take all
19:08
Speaker 1: the amma, we've got. The minute the truck's full oft goes,
19:10
Speaker 1: people are like running around and stuff, and this dude
19:13
Speaker 1: like runs up to her and salutes and says, sergeant,
19:16
Speaker 1: our spars are ready to go. The woman says, have
19:18
Speaker 1: them ready to go when ordered. The guy salutes again
19:20
Speaker 1: and he's like yes man, and he walks off. The
19:23
Speaker 1: woman says, listen to me. Don't make Fido come and
19:26
Speaker 1: get anything. He needs to concentrate on supporting the commander
19:29
Speaker 1: bringing supplies to the front when he died is our job.
19:32
Speaker 1: We go back to Norlich, who are running along the tracks,
19:36
Speaker 1: and then under an underpass and they all slide to
19:38
Speaker 1: a stop and lots of legions are to their like
19:41
Speaker 1: I think left. They turn and point their guns at
19:45
Speaker 1: the legion and we see like their screens like locking
19:48
Speaker 1: on to them, and Shin says fire. We still can't
19:51
Speaker 1: see his eyes, but they're all firing and they're doing
19:54
Speaker 1: a lot of damage. Thank god. Shin runs at one
19:57
Speaker 1: of them and it fires, but he like ducks like
20:00
Speaker 1: under it and slices its belly open. Pretty cool. Then
20:04
Speaker 1: another one gets taken out and there's like a barrage
20:06
Speaker 1: of missiles exploding them. Then there's a pause. They're kind
20:10
Speaker 1: of waiting for the smoke to clear, and as it does,
20:14
Speaker 1: we see thousands of little sparkly legion lights off in
20:17
Speaker 1: the distance. Again, not super well done, and Ryden says,
20:21
Speaker 1: looks like we're just getting started. We got back to Frederica,
20:24
Speaker 1: who's still looking out the window. She has her eyes
20:26
Speaker 1: closed and she sighs, If only I knew where Kiri was,
20:29
Speaker 1: I could help them. She opens her eyes and they're
20:32
Speaker 1: kind of like glowing red and she gasps, she I
20:35
Speaker 1: guess in her mind's eye or something is standing in
20:37
Speaker 1: front of a massive legion. She gasps again and starts
20:40
Speaker 1: to back away. She kind of like looks around trying
20:43
Speaker 1: to figure out what the fuck's going on, and there's
20:45
Speaker 1: like an explosion and like a bunch of smoke, and
20:47
Speaker 1: when it clears, she can see the Sand Magnolia flag
20:51
Speaker 1: and the cities in flames and being fired on. At
20:54
Speaker 1: this point, her eyes go back to normal and she's
20:57
Speaker 1: back and she says, there fuck not in San Magnolia.
21:02
Speaker 1: I mean, they deserve it, but that's where Lena is
21:05
Speaker 1: and all the nice eighty six people. We cut to
21:09
Speaker 1: a screen with like, you know, the little Federacy symbols
21:12
Speaker 1: and the Legion symbols, and at this point, the Federacy
21:15
Speaker 1: symbols are pushing back the Legion symbols, and a voice says,
21:19
Speaker 1: the second wave is being held off in all combat areas. Oh,
21:22
Speaker 1: Greth just kind of looks at the screen, and the
21:24
Speaker 1: voice continues, Nordley's watchin has begun advancing on the enemy's
21:27
Speaker 1: main force. They're still fighting on the front lines. Back
21:31
Speaker 1: to them. They are indeed advancing and shooting the Legion,
21:34
Speaker 1: like pushing them back. And then I patch, dude is
21:37
Speaker 1: like watching some screen somewhere and Greth is also watching
21:41
Speaker 1: this happen, and we hear a voice say they're monsters.
21:44
Speaker 1: Oh fuck. Back to Frederica, she turns on her calm
21:49
Speaker 1: and she says, Shine, SHINEI Kiri Is. She's kind of
21:53
Speaker 1: like walking around this room that she's in now, which
21:55
Speaker 1: just has like a lot of chairs, like maybe it's
21:57
Speaker 1: a meeting room or something, and Shin is not saying
22:00
Speaker 1: so she continues, are you listening, Shine, Kitty is? And
22:04
Speaker 1: she just like kicks a chair over because she's so frustrated,
22:07
Speaker 1: and she's like, what are you doing? Shine? Her eyes
22:10
Speaker 1: go red and she freezes. She sees Shin's regularly fighting,
22:15
Speaker 1: which looks like it always does, except it has a
22:18
Speaker 1: lot of like I guess legion blood on it. There's
22:21
Speaker 1: like a lot of like mercury looking like liquid metal
22:24
Speaker 1: or something. It's very interesting. Anyway, she looks super super worried,
22:29
Speaker 1: and she says Shine. You know, Shin is continuing to
22:33
Speaker 1: do Shin stuff, and Frederica kind of like reaches forward
22:36
Speaker 1: like panicked, and she's like Shine. At this point, we
22:39
Speaker 1: finally see Shin's face, which is probably why she's so upset.
22:45
Speaker 1: There's just like no light in his eyes at all,
22:48
Speaker 1: like they're just dead and his mouth is just like
22:51
Speaker 1: really twisted into a grin that you do not want
22:54
Speaker 1: someone to give you this type of grin. And she
22:58
Speaker 1: gets like a flash of Kiri like over laid, I
23:00
Speaker 1: think on him, and she gasps and like backs away
23:03
Speaker 1: from the window like that's gonna do any good, and
23:05
Speaker 1: she's just like no. Back to those screens, we see
23:08
Speaker 1: Shin's little Reagan leaf symbol take out one of the Legion.
23:12
Speaker 1: Frederica's lips quiver and she's like no. At this point,
23:16
Speaker 1: Onju Theo and Karina like kind of notice that something
23:19
Speaker 1: is wrong, and Karina's like Shin, Shin is still fighting
23:23
Speaker 1: like someone who is really fucking messed up, And his
23:27
Speaker 1: Reagan leaf gets hit like in the right side and
23:30
Speaker 1: like his cockpit wall like explodes inwards, and he like
23:33
Speaker 1: doesn't even acknowledge what's happening as the debris like flast
23:37
Speaker 1: by him and like a shard of glass like cuts
23:40
Speaker 1: like right under his left eye, and he's just totally calm.
23:45
Speaker 1: If you can call this Colm Frederica's like you we
23:51
Speaker 1: see the screen where Shin's symbol takes out three Legion
23:54
Speaker 1: in like seconds, and riding looks super worried, and then
23:58
Speaker 1: we go back to Shin, who is smiling the most
24:01
Speaker 1: horrifying smile. Like at this point, I don't even know
24:06
Speaker 1: how to describe what this looks like, Like I don't
24:10
Speaker 1: know if it's complex or I'm just not good at this.
24:13
Speaker 1: It's like a combination of like exhaustion and like he's
24:17
Speaker 1: super like resigned and he's blank and just gone and
24:21
Speaker 1: also just kind of like amused with how fucked up
24:24
Speaker 1: everything is, like it's just bad. And again, Frederica kind
24:30
Speaker 1: of sees Kitty in him, and she bangs on the
24:34
Speaker 1: window and she's like, you mustn't keep fighting like that.
24:37
Speaker 1: She kind of just slides down the window and onto
24:40
Speaker 1: the floor. We go back to Shin, who is taking
24:43
Speaker 1: out the legion and still looking just terrifying, and a
24:47
Speaker 1: caution alert like flashes on a screen, so I think
24:50
Speaker 1: he probably needs to calm down, and then we see
24:53
Speaker 1: like this really big legion directly in front of him.
24:56
Speaker 1: Shin raises his high frequency blade and the legion raises
25:00
Speaker 1: his gun at the same time and fires. We cut
25:02
Speaker 1: to the sun like coming through like the parting clouds,
25:06
Speaker 1: and then to Shin scarred ear and suddenly his eyes widen. Yeah,
25:11
Speaker 1: I don't know what that was. He manages to move
25:14
Speaker 1: out of the way and then he like jumps towards
25:16
Speaker 1: the legion and we cut back to an explosion. It's
25:19
Speaker 1: raining now. We don't have Shin's eyes anymore, just kind
25:23
Speaker 1: of the bottom of his face, but he's still and
25:27
Speaker 1: blood is running down his cheek and onto his bandana.
25:31
Speaker 1: There's a clang and he looks up and it was
25:35
Speaker 1: just a piece of legion hitting the outside of his
25:37
Speaker 1: cockpit and kind of sliding down with the rain. He
25:40
Speaker 1: kind of comes out of it and just coughs and
25:43
Speaker 1: starts to breathe really hard, and we hear Greth say
25:47
Speaker 1: command to all members of Nordlich Squadron. Good work, the
25:50
Speaker 1: Legion are falling back. Return to base. Shin reaches up
25:54
Speaker 1: and touches the cut under his eyes, smearing some of
25:56
Speaker 1: the blood. We can't see much of his expression, but
26:01
Speaker 1: he's not happy with himself, and he says Roger. The
26:06
Speaker 1: sun is setting through some really patchy clouds and it's
26:09
Speaker 1: still kind of sun shower raining like over a fields,
26:13
Speaker 1: and we see the mechs like walking back to base.
26:16
Speaker 1: They're kind of in sights of base and that really
26:18
Speaker 1: big tower. And I see now that the tower has
26:20
Speaker 1: a red light on top, so that is what the
26:22
Speaker 1: red light was in the last episode. I'm here on you, say, Frederica.
26:26
Speaker 1: There is a clang and Shin looks in front of him,
26:30
Speaker 1: and Frederica is pounding on his cockpits. I guess they've stopped.
26:35
Speaker 1: He opens it and she looks so upset, like she's
26:40
Speaker 1: about to cry, but she's not quite there yet, and
26:42
Speaker 1: she's wet from the rain. Shin just kind of stares
26:45
Speaker 1: at her and gets out. Frederica's like, shinay, you fool.
26:50
Speaker 1: We see Shin's reflection in a puddle. It's still raining.
26:54
Speaker 1: Frederica says, she's just like cutie. She presses her face
26:59
Speaker 1: like into his stomach and just cries, you huge fool.
27:04
Speaker 1: Chin puts his hand on her head, and we see
27:07
Speaker 1: his reflection in the puddle again, and he's looking down
27:11
Speaker 1: kind of away from her. We cut to his waganlyaf
27:15
Speaker 1: and see that the hole that you know went through
27:17
Speaker 1: the cockpit is right in the headless part of his insignia.
27:22
Speaker 1: Then we see his shirt pocket which is ripped, exposing
27:28
Speaker 1: the little plastic bag with raise metal scrap in it.
27:32
Speaker 1: We go to the title card Sony demo back from
27:36
Speaker 1: maybe a break. We're kind of looking up from like
27:40
Speaker 1: maybe a bridge, but it was really hard to tell.
27:43
Speaker 1: And it's evening and like those little sparkles are coming
27:45
Speaker 1: down everywhere, and it is August twenty fifth, twenty one
27:49
Speaker 1: forty nine, which is actually three days earlier. Yay, A've
27:53
Speaker 1: always says, this is Northern Combat Lines Combat District one,
27:57
Speaker 1: Squadron one, sledge Hammer. See a very large gun connected
28:02
Speaker 1: to a legion kind of roll across the screen, and
28:04
Speaker 1: the voice continues to all eighty six processors hearing this message.
28:09
Speaker 1: This is coming from a guy who is sitting on
28:12
Speaker 1: the bridge holding his stomach which is bleeding. His black
28:16
Speaker 1: hair and the legion are approaching him. We can't really
28:19
Speaker 1: see his face, and he continues, this is sledgehand or
28:23
Speaker 1: Combat Commander Blackbird. Our war is over. There's a destroyed
28:27
Speaker 1: juggernaut like next to him. And then we see a
28:31
Speaker 1: blonde haired guy like in a cockpit, bleeding from his head,
28:34
Speaker 1: and Blackbird continues. All processors hearing this message, All who
28:39
Speaker 1: fought to the end. We got to like a long
28:41
Speaker 1: haired guy like with his chest to his knees, like
28:44
Speaker 1: crying on the bridge, and Blackbird continues all who survives.
28:48
Speaker 1: He's still holding his stomach as the blood spreads. We're
28:52
Speaker 1: finally leaving the service. We did our best. Huh. There's
28:56
Speaker 1: a detonator in front of him, and he reaches out
28:58
Speaker 1: and puts his hand on the handle it. We see
29:02
Speaker 1: a different angle and his leg is just partially gone,
29:05
Speaker 1: like below the knee. Yay, and bleeding obviously, and the
29:10
Speaker 1: Legion have closed in on him and it raises its
29:14
Speaker 1: arm over him, and Blackbirds smiles. His lips are like
29:18
Speaker 1: really chapped, and he continues, you get what you deserve,
29:22
Speaker 1: and he presses it. We see the explosion from the
29:26
Speaker 1: distance as more Legion are approaching the destroyed bridge. We
29:31
Speaker 1: go to a statue of sand magnolia. We're kind of
29:33
Speaker 1: above building, so maybe it's on like the top of
29:35
Speaker 1: a roof of something. It's District one, it looks like,
29:38
Speaker 1: and it's night. Lena is walking through security, I guess,
29:42
Speaker 1: and those drunk eyes are there doing drunk eye stuff,
29:45
Speaker 1: but they have like hats on and shit. Because it
29:47
Speaker 1: is the Revolution Festival. There's a big sign that says
29:50
Speaker 1: Revolution Festival Light twenty five today. So besides those guys laughing.
29:55
Speaker 1: There's like a guy in a mascot suit, and all
29:57
Speaker 1: the shit's going on, and she's just walking ignoring everything
30:01
Speaker 1: until an alarm starts to go off. She freezes and
30:05
Speaker 1: looks up out like a screen that just happens to
30:08
Speaker 1: be showing a city on fire, and she gasps yeah.
30:11
Speaker 1: One of the guys is like, what's that a movie? Yeah, sure, dude.
30:16
Speaker 1: Another guy puts his hands over his ears and he's like,
30:18
Speaker 1: someone turn off that alarm. Lena is just still staring
30:21
Speaker 1: in shock, and she says the grand mr fuck. The
30:26
Speaker 1: screen cuts the static and then we just go to
30:28
Speaker 1: black and it says no signal. This is not good.
30:32
Speaker 1: Lena is still looking up at it, like super intensely,
30:35
Speaker 1: and then she says the rail gun fuck. She turns
30:39
Speaker 1: and walks through security, which I thought she already did
30:41
Speaker 1: but maybe she didn't, and she opens her collar and
30:45
Speaker 1: she puts on her paraaid. We hear Annette say Lena
30:49
Speaker 1: that warning, and then cyclop says, I may as well
30:53
Speaker 1: let you know, your highness. The main attack came from
30:55
Speaker 1: the north. The north side's fallen in the east and
30:57
Speaker 1: Western under attack from the north too. Lena is still
31:00
Speaker 1: walking and she scowls, yes, Annette Cyclops, I'm aware it's
31:04
Speaker 1: finally time. She kind of goes to maybe shut off
31:07
Speaker 1: her powerade, but then someone grabs her arm. She turns
31:11
Speaker 1: back and it's Carlstahl. Carlstall's like, what do you think
31:14
Speaker 1: you're doing, Captain Malisea. It's important to note here that
31:17
Speaker 1: Lena was about to walk up the stairs like they're
31:20
Speaker 1: in kind of like a stairwell, so she is one
31:22
Speaker 1: step up, so she's actually like as tall, like in
31:27
Speaker 1: the same height level as Carl Staal because she's shorter
31:29
Speaker 1: than him, so they're like right on equal terms kind of. Anyway,
31:33
Speaker 1: Lena rips away her arm and is like, General Carlstahl,
31:36
Speaker 1: the poweraid we can see is still on. I'm bringing
31:39
Speaker 1: all squadron from all areas inside the grind Murr to
31:42
Speaker 1: build a defensive line before the Legion reached District one
31:45
Speaker 1: and intercept the enemy there. If we do that, we
31:48
Speaker 1: may still survive. Carl Style's like, forget it. Lena gasps,
31:53
Speaker 1: I missed her gasps. Carlsta continues, the people of the
31:58
Speaker 1: Republic would be better off destroyed by the Legion than
32:00
Speaker 1: by letting the eighty six in the grandmar Really, Lena
32:04
Speaker 1: looks understandably really upset, and she's like, are you still
32:08
Speaker 1: Carl Style cuts her off. The eighty six will never
32:10
Speaker 1: fight for the Republic. They kind of are all the time,
32:14
Speaker 1: my friends, the Republic oppressed, abandoned and slaughtered them, even
32:19
Speaker 1: if we beg them to protect us. Now they have
32:21
Speaker 1: no reason or obligation to do so. Lena looks down
32:25
Speaker 1: and she kind of puts her hand over her heart,
32:28
Speaker 1: and Carl Stall says, the most they'll do is laugh
32:31
Speaker 1: and tell us that we're getting what we deserve. I
32:34
Speaker 1: mean really, Lena looks, I don't know, hurt, and she says,
32:39
Speaker 1: they aren't obligated, but they do have a reason. We
32:42
Speaker 1: possess manufacturing and power plants that they don't have. They've
32:46
Speaker 1: spent enough time in the battlefield that when it comes
32:47
Speaker 1: down to it, they'll decide they need those things to survive. Yeah,
32:52
Speaker 1: Carl Style's like, they may obey it. First, we start
32:55
Speaker 1: to cut to like lots of different shots of all
32:58
Speaker 1: the citizens doing just kind of dumb things, he continues,
33:01
Speaker 1: but they'll soon realize that it's much easier to fight
33:04
Speaker 1: the Legion alone than to protect a bunch of useless
33:07
Speaker 1: citizens who do nothing but complain, And what will happen then?
33:11
Speaker 1: If we're lucky, it'll just be a massacre. Fuck, but
33:14
Speaker 1: you've studied enough history to know that that will not
33:17
Speaker 1: be the case. Lena kind of pulls her hand back
33:20
Speaker 1: from her chest and makes a fist because she's fucking awesome,
33:23
Speaker 1: and she says, even so title drop, I don't want
33:27
Speaker 1: to give up on everything and just wait to die.
33:29
Speaker 1: If I'm going to fail and die, I want to
33:31
Speaker 1: fight until that moment comes. Her lip is kind of shaking.
33:35
Speaker 1: We can really only see her mouth otherwise she's holding
33:39
Speaker 1: kind of open her jacket so we can kind of
33:42
Speaker 1: see the pocket that she stitched into it. You know
33:44
Speaker 1: that has like their picture in it, the ones who
33:46
Speaker 1: did the same, the ones who believe that I could
33:49
Speaker 1: do the same. I'll never be able to face them.
33:53
Speaker 1: She thinks they're alive still, yay. Carl Stile just kind
33:56
Speaker 1: of stares at her, and we hear like a voice
33:59
Speaker 1: over the intercom say, we have an explanation regarding the
34:02
Speaker 1: warning from a moment ago. Soldiers and officers, please come
34:05
Speaker 1: to the meeting hall. I repeat, and it says the
34:08
Speaker 1: same thing again. So they are just standing Lena up
34:11
Speaker 1: one step Carl Stahl, you know, on the landing, just
34:14
Speaker 1: staring each other down during this, and karl Stale looks away. First,
34:19
Speaker 1: Lena gasps. Carl Stall's like, then do what you want.
34:24
Speaker 1: He starts to put on his hat. Follow your impossible
34:27
Speaker 1: dream until you're satisfied. Lena scowls. Carl Stall continues, it's
34:31
Speaker 1: a child's right to dream, Captain Malise, my god, dude,
34:36
Speaker 1: and until that child wakes up from her dream and
34:38
Speaker 1: is crushed against the rocks of merciless reality, it's an
34:42
Speaker 1: adult job to protect her. He picks up a rifle
34:45
Speaker 1: that we didn't even know was there. Lana gasps, I'm
34:48
Speaker 1: so confused. Carl Style slings the rifle over his shoulder
34:52
Speaker 1: and is like, I can buy you time if nothing else.
34:55
Speaker 1: Lena's like, did you always intend to? Carl Stall continues,
35:00
Speaker 1: It's time for you to be crushed, Lena, as you
35:03
Speaker 1: watch your naive dreams shatter against reality. He starts to
35:07
Speaker 1: walk away. Lena reaches out towards him and is like, wait, uncle.
35:13
Speaker 1: Carlstyle looks back at her, but then he keeps walking.
35:16
Speaker 1: He heads down the stairs as she just kind of
35:18
Speaker 1: stands there. She manages to pull her hand down and
35:22
Speaker 1: starts to look more resolute. She salutes good luck, general carlstyle,
35:28
Speaker 1: and she starts to go up the stairs. Yeah. Now
35:32
Speaker 1: she is walking in like a dark place. We just
35:35
Speaker 1: see her thighs, which is a little bit weird, and
35:38
Speaker 1: she thinks, I'm going to reach that place. Fuck. She
35:43
Speaker 1: walks into the control room and she places the picture
35:47
Speaker 1: of her is a pig on the wall and she
35:48
Speaker 1: kind of looks up at it and then down and
35:51
Speaker 1: then at this gold thing that's like, I guess part
35:54
Speaker 1: of the pareraide or something, and she clicks it on.
35:56
Speaker 1: I don't know what the gold thing is, guys. Maybe
35:59
Speaker 1: it helps her reach more people. I'm really confused. Anyway,
36:02
Speaker 1: She says power rate activate, synchronization target all processors. Like
36:08
Speaker 1: a window pops up on her screen and it says
36:11
Speaker 1: like synchronize all processors system booting forty eight percent, and
36:15
Speaker 1: then it hits one hundred percent, and we give this
36:17
Speaker 1: really interesting kind of visualization of like them all be
36:20
Speaker 1: connected with like little white lines and stuff like that
36:23
Speaker 1: and circles, and Lana says synchronization complete. She takes a
36:28
Speaker 1: deep breath, bloody Regina to all processors in all combat areas.
36:31
Speaker 1: A large scale legion offensive has begun. You are to
36:35
Speaker 1: gather within the eighty six districts and begin combat. We
36:38
Speaker 1: see some of the eighty six as she's talking, and
36:41
Speaker 1: then we see like an Alba officer like walking down
36:43
Speaker 1: the hall, and then like several of them in. Lanta continues,
36:47
Speaker 1: all personnel within National Defense HQ, remove anti personnel minds
36:51
Speaker 1: and open the Grand Yours gates immediately. Yay. We go
36:55
Speaker 1: to a net who is at a computer, and then
36:57
Speaker 1: we see cyclops in her team and Lanta continues, everything
37:00
Speaker 1: we've done was for this day. She places a couple
37:03
Speaker 1: of her fingers on the picture that Fido took to
37:06
Speaker 1: protect our honor. Let's fight till the ends, and then
37:10
Speaker 1: we have the ending theme. Yay, I guess so for
37:14
Speaker 1: this ending. First we see that envelope that was on
37:17
Speaker 1: Shin's seat. Background is kind of black and white or brown,
37:21
Speaker 1: and the letter is like deep blue with like a
37:23
Speaker 1: Kannada light flare, like a light flare in the corner
37:26
Speaker 1: of it, which makes no sense. Then we see Shin's
37:30
Speaker 1: shirt pocket with like the hole ripped in it and
37:33
Speaker 1: it's in black and white and raysed kind of symbol
37:35
Speaker 1: is in blue, and there's light like a Kannada light
37:38
Speaker 1: flare like glinting off of it, which is fine because
37:40
Speaker 1: it's metal, so that makes sense. We get a quick
37:43
Speaker 1: cut of the sun coming through the clouds, and then
37:46
Speaker 1: a low angle shot of Shin looking really stern in
37:49
Speaker 1: black and white, which I thought was weird because I
37:51
Speaker 1: didn't know where it was from. The ending theme ends
37:53
Speaker 1: and that shot is now in color, so it's from
37:56
Speaker 1: now yeay, and we hear Frederica say, on that day
38:00
Speaker 1: Kitty attacked the Republic. Spearhead minus Shin are all sitting
38:03
Speaker 1: on a couch opposite Frederica, who's on another couch, and
38:07
Speaker 1: Frederica continues, what I saw was a shattered wall and
38:10
Speaker 1: a burning five colored flag and a huge legion. Theo's like,
38:14
Speaker 1: which means as like they're inside the eighty five districts.
38:19
Speaker 1: Krana says it's probably all over then, right, so flippant, right,
38:23
Speaker 1: and it's like yeah, THEO says, is he still attacking
38:28
Speaker 1: the Republic? Frederica's like, no, now he's Shin is still
38:33
Speaker 1: standing and he looks away and out the window, and
38:37
Speaker 1: we get a shot of Kiri's blue face and red
38:40
Speaker 1: eyes filled with like super fucking extreme hatred, and he says,
38:44
Speaker 1: I'll kill you. Shin gasps. Frederica's eyes turn red and
38:48
Speaker 1: she says, get down, Kitty is Shin like kind of
38:51
Speaker 1: runs over towards Frederica as like a blinding white light
38:54
Speaker 1: kind of pours through the windows and overtakes the scene.
38:58
Speaker 1: Then we get the next episode title card I won't forget,
39:01
Speaker 1: which Shin says, and that's the end. Yay closing thoughts. Okay, yeah,
39:09
Speaker 1: that was a lot of stuff. I don't even know
39:11
Speaker 1: where to start. So since we ended with Shin and Spearhead,
39:16
Speaker 1: let's talk about Shin, what the fuck was in that note?
39:21
Speaker 1: Because whatever was fucked him up probably. I mean, it's
39:25
Speaker 1: possible that it's just the general where that he's taking
39:29
Speaker 1: from all of these legions, dead sad voices and shit,
39:33
Speaker 1: But that note means something. It definitely does, guys, because
39:37
Speaker 1: I know what it means, and it seems like it
39:40
Speaker 1: had a major effect on the way that he acted
39:43
Speaker 1: during that battle. I don't know if I said this,
39:45
Speaker 1: but he seemed kind of disgusted with himself. So it's
39:50
Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting to find out what that note was. Sorry,
39:55
Speaker 1: but yeah, that was not good. He's not in a
39:58
Speaker 1: good headspace. I mean, he hasn't been, but it just
40:00
Speaker 1: keeps getting worse. And now I am significantly worried about
40:04
Speaker 1: the way that he's fighting too. Him just letting himself
40:08
Speaker 1: get injured and just not even acknowledging what it's happening.
40:12
Speaker 1: He's putting himself in a dangerous position. Do I think
40:16
Speaker 1: that he's like Katy? Not really? Kitty was killing like
40:20
Speaker 1: humans and shit, I don't think Shin is doing that.
40:23
Speaker 1: I mean not unless they have to be killed because
40:26
Speaker 1: they're already dying, like Kitty was insane. Do I think
40:30
Speaker 1: Shin is insane? No? No? Is he totally fucked up
40:36
Speaker 1: right now? Absolutely? Maybe she meant Kitty kind of at
40:40
Speaker 1: the end when Kitty just kind of walked into Legion
40:42
Speaker 1: territory like, hey, fucking take me. Maybe that's what she meant,
40:47
Speaker 1: because I could see that Shin is acting very reckless,
40:52
Speaker 1: and I guess Katy did too. So maybe, so look
40:56
Speaker 1: forward to finding out what is in the notes in
40:58
Speaker 1: case you aren't. I don't know. So we got that
41:01
Speaker 1: going on. It looks like the base might have gotten
41:05
Speaker 1: exploded at the end. So who even knows what's gonna
41:07
Speaker 1: happen in the next episode. I mean I do, but
41:09
Speaker 1: you don't, or you might. Who knows, But yeah, so
41:13
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a thing. It was nice that Sin
41:17
Speaker 1: like ran over towards Frederica, like I guess, to shield
41:20
Speaker 1: her out of everyone. I mean, it makes sense. She's
41:22
Speaker 1: little and not a soldier, so she's the one to
41:25
Speaker 1: go to. But kind of kind of nice. Besides that,
41:30
Speaker 1: and all that stuff with Spearhead and or nord Lich
41:33
Speaker 1: or whatever we're calling them. I find what's going on
41:36
Speaker 1: in San Magnolia really really interesting. I'm so super proud
41:41
Speaker 1: of Lena, Like watching this episode when she was like
41:46
Speaker 1: confronting her uncle and shit, I actually started like tearing up.
41:50
Speaker 1: I'm like so proud of her for a standing up
41:54
Speaker 1: for herself and deciding that she's gonna do this no
41:56
Speaker 1: matter what, and then also just be like getting it
41:59
Speaker 1: all together other because it looks like she is a
42:02
Speaker 1: lot of control of you know, the people out in
42:05
Speaker 1: the field. They seem to trust her, and I guess
42:09
Speaker 1: the newer command and control officers also trust her as well.
42:13
Speaker 1: This is great just by being her fucking cool self
42:17
Speaker 1: with her red like hair stripe and her black uniform,
42:20
Speaker 1: and shit, she has a chance to save this country,
42:24
Speaker 1: and without her, there's just no chance at all because
42:27
Speaker 1: nobody fucking cares. So yeah, and the whole thing with
42:31
Speaker 1: her uncle. I understand where he's coming from, I really do,
42:34
Speaker 1: because he knows that Sam Magnolia is fucked up, racist, genocidal,
42:40
Speaker 1: bullshit country. It makes sense that the eighty six would
42:45
Speaker 1: come into the eighty five districts and just murder all
42:48
Speaker 1: the Alba people, I mean, or at least not save them.
42:51
Speaker 1: And he is right and upsetting that, like execution would
42:54
Speaker 1: be the best option if they were going that route.
42:56
Speaker 1: But like, not everyone is him, and he lacks the
43:02
Speaker 1: insight that Lena has because he's not you know, talking
43:06
Speaker 1: with the people out in the field. He's not you know,
43:09
Speaker 1: talking to the processors and trying to help them. He's
43:12
Speaker 1: just decided that he's going to go down with the government,
43:15
Speaker 1: I guess, which is kind of stupid, honestly. I guess
43:20
Speaker 1: he just doesn't see this as ending for him in
43:22
Speaker 1: any sort of way that would be not terrible, and
43:25
Speaker 1: he is gonna go out and fight obviously, which is interesting.
43:28
Speaker 1: I find his character like very like nuanced and conflicted
43:33
Speaker 1: because like he's obviously gonna buy Lena some time, and
43:37
Speaker 1: he does know that what's going on is wrong, but
43:41
Speaker 1: like he refuses to do the right thing, and he
43:43
Speaker 1: also thinks that Lena is so idealistic that this is
43:47
Speaker 1: going to crush her. So it's like, I don't know
43:50
Speaker 1: where you stand, dude, Like somewhere down there, he does care,
43:54
Speaker 1: but a lot of him just doesn't get it and
43:57
Speaker 1: doesn't want to get it. So if that made sense,
44:00
Speaker 1: because I'm just talking off the cuff or whatever, I'm
44:03
Speaker 1: just making it up as I go along with this.
44:06
Speaker 1: So I really liked that part where she said, like
44:10
Speaker 1: even if she's gonna die, like she has to like
44:12
Speaker 1: keep fighting anyway, because it reminds me a lot of
44:14
Speaker 1: like what Spearhead told her about how they were gonna
44:17
Speaker 1: fight to the end, and specifically like ride In saying
44:20
Speaker 1: the whole thing about like even if you're gonna get
44:22
Speaker 1: hunk tomorrow, like, does that mean you're gonna fucking choot
44:24
Speaker 1: yourself today? Like at least you still get a choice,
44:28
Speaker 1: Like you still get to choose how you're gonna walk
44:29
Speaker 1: up there. So I really like how much they influenced her,
44:34
Speaker 1: and I love that at least part of her believes
44:37
Speaker 1: that they're still alive. She's just super cool and honestly
44:41
Speaker 1: at this point, like because when I first watched this,
44:43
Speaker 1: like I really liked Shin a lot, and I don't
44:46
Speaker 1: dislike Shin. I still really like Shin a lot, but
44:49
Speaker 1: Lena is like way cooler than I remember her. Honestly,
44:53
Speaker 1: she could be my favorite just female character overall. She's
44:56
Speaker 1: just fucking awesome. I don't know, I'm just really proud
45:00
Speaker 1: out of her, So like, yeah, that's what's going on
45:04
Speaker 1: with me. That's really what's going on with the episode.
45:07
Speaker 1: I don't know if they won. I mean, this was
45:09
Speaker 1: several days before the attack on the Federacy that Kitty
45:14
Speaker 1: and friends attacked San Magnolia, and we do know that
45:17
Speaker 1: the city was burning, but like what part of the city?
45:21
Speaker 1: Which city? You know, they have a lot of districts,
45:23
Speaker 1: So hopefully Lena got to help a little, because I mean,
45:28
Speaker 1: we're not just saving the Alba here, We're saving everybody
45:31
Speaker 1: by not having San Magnolia burn. So yeah, yeah, I
45:36
Speaker 1: guess we'll find out next episode. Maybe what's going on. Fuck,
45:42
Speaker 1: it is so hot in here. It looks like it's
45:44
Speaker 1: eighty two. Now I am really hot, so I'm gonna
45:47
Speaker 1: stop now because I have to edit this because I
45:50
Speaker 1: have an inspection tomorrow, which is terrible because it's going
45:53
Speaker 1: to be one hundred degrees tomorrow too, So yay. I
45:57
Speaker 1: hope that you have a really good whatever please if possible,
46:01
Speaker 1: if that isn't upsetting to you, and I'll be back
46:05
Speaker 1: hopefully next week later weeps
