86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.15- Welcome Back · Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

0:00
Speaker 1: Hey, it's your person, Michelle, I think anyway, Yeah, it's
0:06
Speaker 1: me being here doing stuff. It was really cold out
0:09
Speaker 1: and now it's not cold anymore. And I don't know
0:11
Speaker 1: what's going on cause it's what month, is it, June?
0:15
Speaker 1: So a little bit weird, but whatever, everything's fine, not really,
0:19
Speaker 1: but that part is probably okay. So we're gonna talk
0:25
Speaker 1: about eighty six, episode fifteen today, but before we do,
0:30
Speaker 1: I wanted to share a couple of things with you.
0:32
Speaker 1: One of them is just like, I want to be
0:34
Speaker 1: honest with you. Most of the time when I'm doing
0:38
Speaker 1: this podcast. I think most seasons I've like really enjoyed
0:43
Speaker 1: doing it, like sort of taking the notes, but then
0:46
Speaker 1: actually like, you know, talking about it with you. I mean,
0:49
Speaker 1: in theory, I'm basically just talking about it with myself,
0:51
Speaker 1: but you get it and all that stuff. But like
0:55
Speaker 1: a couple of the seasons I didn't have a really
0:57
Speaker 1: great time doing and I'm thinking this might be one
1:02
Speaker 1: of them. I don't know what it is about this show,
1:06
Speaker 1: but I am not enjoying it as much as I
1:10
Speaker 1: thought I would. And I don't just mean like the
1:13
Speaker 1: act of doing it, because a lot of this is
1:15
Speaker 1: because I don't feel good right now, and everything seems
1:18
Speaker 1: really crushing and terrible. So that's not anyone's fault except
1:21
Speaker 1: for my fault maybe. But the other thing about it
1:24
Speaker 1: is like I'm just not enjoying the show as much
1:28
Speaker 1: as I did when I originally watched it, So I
1:31
Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck that is, and I don't
1:33
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna get better. I'm hoping that I
1:36
Speaker 1: think it's episode seventeen or eighteen. There's one of those
1:38
Speaker 1: episodes there that like change the way I felt about
1:41
Speaker 1: everything when I watched it the first time. So I'm
1:43
Speaker 1: hoping when we hit that, I will basically go like,
1:47
Speaker 1: oh fuck, I remember why I love this. But right
1:50
Speaker 1: now I'm not feeling that, and it's it's making me
1:52
Speaker 1: feel really weird. So if you're like listening to this, obviously,
1:57
Speaker 1: because if you're not, you're you're not gonna hear this.
1:59
Speaker 1: But if you are, and you have opinions on eighty
2:03
Speaker 1: six and how this is going, like email me and
2:07
Speaker 1: tell me about them, please, my god. Please. No. I mean,
2:11
Speaker 1: you don't really have to, but if you want to,
2:13
Speaker 1: you can, because I'm interested to hear what people think
2:16
Speaker 1: about it as of like right now, because I think
2:19
Speaker 1: it's a good show, but there was something that I'm
2:21
Speaker 1: not like connecting with as much as I thought I would,
2:24
Speaker 1: and it's just making me feel sad. The other thing
2:27
Speaker 1: I wanted to say because I haven't, but I've been
2:31
Speaker 1: thinking about it for multiple episodes. Maybe basically the entire
2:34
Speaker 1: show is this show does a terrible job of over
2:37
Speaker 1: explaining things in the sense that like characters say things
2:43
Speaker 1: to explain it to the audience in a way that
2:45
Speaker 1: no one would ever talk to another person in real life, like,
2:49
Speaker 1: for example, not using eighty six, but just using an
2:52
Speaker 1: example in general. Let's say I'm gonna call my sister
2:55
Speaker 1: on the phone. So I call her and I say, hey,
2:58
Speaker 1: my only younger sister, how are you doing today? How
3:02
Speaker 1: is your job as an architectural historian going? No one
3:06
Speaker 1: would ever say that, right, I mean, the whole point
3:09
Speaker 1: of that was to explain to you that I have
3:11
Speaker 1: a younger sister and that she's an architectural historian, so
3:14
Speaker 1: now you know that, which might be relevant to the
3:17
Speaker 1: plot if there was a plot, and I wasn't just
3:19
Speaker 1: giving you an example, but no one would talk like
3:22
Speaker 1: that in real life. And it's weird and it makes
3:25
Speaker 1: me uncomfortable, and it's like it just kind of takes
3:27
Speaker 1: me out of things. So I mean, obviously, if I
3:30
Speaker 1: was gonna call my sister, I would say, hey, what's
3:33
Speaker 1: going on, how's work going? That would be it. I mean,
3:37
Speaker 1: assuming that's what we're talking about, I really say, like, hey,
3:40
Speaker 1: I watched that episode of the show that you wanted
3:42
Speaker 1: me to watch, and it fucking destroyed me and I
3:45
Speaker 1: don't know how to live anymore. But the example works regardless.
3:49
Speaker 1: So eighty six has a habit of doing this constantly,
3:52
Speaker 1: having characters talk to each other and present information that
3:56
Speaker 1: we need to know to the other character who already
3:59
Speaker 1: knows this information, and it pisces me off. And I
4:03
Speaker 1: don't think I don't really know because I haven't read
4:05
Speaker 1: that many of the light novels, and honestly, I don't
4:08
Speaker 1: read a lot of things that don't have pictures constantly.
4:11
Speaker 1: I really like comics more than I like books. I'm sorry,
4:16
Speaker 1: but I doubt this is a problem that is coming
4:19
Speaker 1: from the light novel. I would assume this is coming
4:21
Speaker 1: from the change in media. Because when you're writing, like
4:24
Speaker 1: especially if it's in third person or even in first person,
4:27
Speaker 1: you can say to the audience outside of the context
4:30
Speaker 1: of a conversation, information like you can say, oh, this
4:33
Speaker 1: person is this person's sister and they're an architectural historian
4:36
Speaker 1: that kind of thing without it being weird. And when
4:39
Speaker 1: you're translating into a different media that's mostly visual, you
4:42
Speaker 1: have to figure out how to get that information across.
4:46
Speaker 1: So I understand that it's got to be challenging, and
4:48
Speaker 1: that's probably what's going on here. It's just so interesting
4:51
Speaker 1: to see the difference between translating a light novel to
4:55
Speaker 1: anime versus a manga to anime, because manga is basically
4:59
Speaker 1: the same thing upt the pictures move and you can
5:02
Speaker 1: hear the people, but like the way you're communicating points
5:06
Speaker 1: can be very similar. So yeah, it's just interesting. It's
5:10
Speaker 1: not the end of the world that this is happening here,
5:13
Speaker 1: and there are plenty of shows, a substantial amount of
5:17
Speaker 1: media that does this shit that bothers me. I think
5:20
Speaker 1: coming off of like the last thing we did Banana Fish,
5:24
Speaker 1: where like we didn't even know people's names half the
5:26
Speaker 1: time because of how little Akimi Yoshita wanted to say
5:31
Speaker 1: stuff outside of normal conversations, Like is part of why
5:35
Speaker 1: this is throwing me so much, but like, yeah, I
5:38
Speaker 1: just wanted to tell you about it. And also I
5:41
Speaker 1: just want to say, if you are loving eighty six
5:44
Speaker 1: and you don't agree with everything I'm saying, thank you.
5:47
Speaker 1: I actually would much prefer that I didn't feel these
5:51
Speaker 1: ways about it, And I might just be kind of
5:55
Speaker 1: overthinking things and overanalyzing the way I feel because I
5:58
Speaker 1: just don't really feel great and I'm not happy, so
6:00
Speaker 1: that could be it too. So if you love this awesome, really,
6:05
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that you're enjoying it. And if you're
6:08
Speaker 1: not right right anyway, let's just get going. I don't
6:14
Speaker 1: know if this is gonna stay or I'm gonna cut it,
6:16
Speaker 1: but if you hear it, you heard it. So anyway,
6:20
Speaker 1: Episode fifteen is called Welcome Back, and I don't know
6:24
Speaker 1: if I found it when I was writing it out,
6:27
Speaker 1: so hopefully we'll find it. It won't be like that
6:28
Speaker 1: other episode a while back that I said, oh, maybe
6:31
Speaker 1: we'll find it and I just never did, so yeah,
6:34
Speaker 1: let's do it anyway. If you remember from the last episode,
6:38
Speaker 1: which was terribly upsetting and I didn't really like, so
6:42
Speaker 1: maybe I should just shut up. We ended with Shin,
6:46
Speaker 1: who had just shot Eugene and he was in his
6:50
Speaker 1: reaganly for whatever the fuck, he could just kind of
6:54
Speaker 1: still see Eugene's dead head on the screen. That was it.
6:58
Speaker 1: So start exactly there, thank god. So we start with
7:03
Speaker 1: an orange sky and like a really low sun, like
7:07
Speaker 1: over a military base, and it is July thirtieth, twenty
7:10
Speaker 1: one forty nine. There are some like birds like landing
7:15
Speaker 1: on like a big tower kind of like maybe a
7:17
Speaker 1: radio tower or a guard tower. I'm not really clear
7:19
Speaker 1: on it, and I think that they're calling. I think
7:21
Speaker 1: they're crows. And this is the GIOD Federacy Forward Operating
7:25
Speaker 1: Base thirteen, also known as FOB thirteen, which is yeah,
7:29
Speaker 1: I mean you abbreviate things, I get it. So we
7:33
Speaker 1: see this truck carrying some really fucked up mechs like
7:36
Speaker 1: being directed into like an area, and then somebody hops
7:40
Speaker 1: out and we just kind of see their boots, and
7:43
Speaker 1: then we cut to a foot resting on a desk
7:46
Speaker 1: and there's like a piece of paper on it that
7:48
Speaker 1: is a material shipment list that I stopped and zoomed
7:53
Speaker 1: in so I could read. Basically, it says things like
7:57
Speaker 1: twelve point seven equals one hundred and eight millimeter cartridges,
8:02
Speaker 1: case ap M eighty two hundred counts twelve point seven
8:08
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight milimeter cartridges, case ball M one
8:12
Speaker 1: O eight two hundred count apfs ds MARX six hundred
8:19
Speaker 1: R and D whatever that means, sender Lieutenant Colonel Girth
8:22
Speaker 1: Wenzel recipient, Second Lieutenant Shine Nosen And there's a signature
8:28
Speaker 1: for Girth and not a signature in Shin spots. And
8:32
Speaker 1: then we see this big mechanical hand like signs Shin
8:35
Speaker 1: signature and the foot pushes the paper like right off
8:39
Speaker 1: the desk, and the mechanical hands sets down another piece
8:42
Speaker 1: of paper, and it's another like material shipment ledger, and
8:46
Speaker 1: this one says leg gear device reagan Leaf twelve each
8:50
Speaker 1: high frequency blade device, reagan Leaf six each FCS, reagan
8:55
Speaker 1: Leaf six each kit one leg gear device, reagan Leaf
8:59
Speaker 1: two boxes. It's a lot of legs because Shin fucks
9:02
Speaker 1: up legs like no one's business. So anyway, the mechanical
9:06
Speaker 1: arm signs, and the leg pushes the paper off the desk,
9:10
Speaker 1: and then the mechanical arm puts another one down which
9:13
Speaker 1: I can't read, and Sin says last one. Fido signs it.
9:18
Speaker 1: Obviously that's his arm and beeps, and then we see
9:22
Speaker 1: right in in the doorway, and he says, did you
9:25
Speaker 1: actually read those? He did not. We see that they
9:29
Speaker 1: have all just fallen into kind of like a loose
9:31
Speaker 1: pile on the floor, and Sin says, it's rare for
9:34
Speaker 1: you to end up at the same base as me.
9:36
Speaker 1: Brighton starts to walk over to him and says, supposedly
9:39
Speaker 1: we'll all be together tomorrow. Oh, that's nice. It looks
9:42
Speaker 1: like they're in some sort of like metal bunker room thing.
9:46
Speaker 1: I don't really know. I guess this is where Shin
9:48
Speaker 1: is sleeping, because he's sitting on a cot. Brighton sits
9:52
Speaker 1: down next to him and says, I don't really care,
9:55
Speaker 1: but do you think they could treat us a little different?
9:58
Speaker 1: I have no idea what that even means. Shitten kind
10:00
Speaker 1: of points at one of those regularly things and says,
10:04
Speaker 1: these things are prototypes after all, right, AND's like, we
10:07
Speaker 1: took some heavy hits yesterday. Are you thinking it's about
10:10
Speaker 1: time for them to come shed? It's like no, and
10:13
Speaker 1: he stands, I guess you could say they could come
10:16
Speaker 1: at any time. Whow We cut two crows cawing and
10:21
Speaker 1: flying around the tower and then we go to the
10:24
Speaker 1: opening theme yay back from the opening, we see a
10:28
Speaker 1: projector that is on and shining directly at the camera,
10:31
Speaker 1: and a voice says, our analysis of the increase in
10:34
Speaker 1: Calms traffic, as well as the reports from our autonomous scouts,
10:38
Speaker 1: showed a high probability of a large scale legion attack
10:41
Speaker 1: in the coming days. We're in a room with like
10:44
Speaker 1: a lot of military folks sitting around a table looks
10:48
Speaker 1: like in an oval shape, and it's obviously dark in
10:51
Speaker 1: there because they're looking at a projection screen, and this
10:54
Speaker 1: guy who was standing up says, that's the joint analysis
10:58
Speaker 1: team's conclusion. The lights turn on and this guy with
11:01
Speaker 1: like an eye patch has his hands like folded in
11:04
Speaker 1: front of his mouth and he says, so it's finally coming. Girth,
11:08
Speaker 1: who is there, raises her hand and the eyepatch guy says,
11:11
Speaker 1: I think, what is it, Colonel Wenzel. Girth stands and
11:15
Speaker 1: she's like, I assume when we reorganizing our units to
11:18
Speaker 1: prepare for the attack, i'd like my men back. Everyone
11:22
Speaker 1: looks kind of fucking annoyed about this, which I don't
11:24
Speaker 1: know why, and the eyepatch guy says the riggan leaves
11:28
Speaker 1: are still in the prototype stage with no idea. If
11:30
Speaker 1: they're capable of efficiently operating on their own, it's safer
11:33
Speaker 1: to keep them grouped with the Vaniganders like we've been doing.
11:36
Speaker 1: Greth says, sir, I understand your position, but Nordlich Squadron's
11:40
Speaker 1: skill count is among the best in the eighth Corps.
11:43
Speaker 1: Eyepatch guys like as are their losses. Gris says, consider
11:49
Speaker 1: it a filtering process. Excuse me what this guy wearing
11:54
Speaker 1: glasses like slams his fist on the table, which I
11:56
Speaker 1: totally understand, and says, all you're doing is taking advantage
11:59
Speaker 1: of the eighties experience. It's fucking true, sending those poor
12:03
Speaker 1: kids right back into war. You're a merchant of death,
12:06
Speaker 1: desperate to get back your lost position. I don't know
12:09
Speaker 1: what that means, but part of that is correct. This
12:12
Speaker 1: is not good, and it's especially not good for the
12:13
Speaker 1: people who are not Spearhead, who just keep dying. Apparently,
12:17
Speaker 1: Girth walks to the front and says, my new feldreb
12:21
Speaker 1: the MX two Reagan Leaf has even better mobility than
12:24
Speaker 1: the legion. She grabs the remote out of the guy's
12:27
Speaker 1: hand that's standing there and was like clicking the slides
12:30
Speaker 1: before and he gasps. She puts the projector back on,
12:33
Speaker 1: and now it has like information about the Reagan Leaf
12:36
Speaker 1: on it. I guess which says. And this is such
12:40
Speaker 1: a nice departure from the earlier weird screens like in
12:43
Speaker 1: episode one that like, we're just bullshit. This actually has
12:46
Speaker 1: information on it, so I'll read it to you. The
12:49
Speaker 1: Reagan Leaf is more mobile than the Legion and a
12:51
Speaker 1: match for it, both technically and in terms of firepower.
12:55
Speaker 1: Group tactics are insufficient to deal with a large scale
12:58
Speaker 1: Legion offensive. A small group of elites will have to
13:03
Speaker 1: fight while outnumbered. And then I wrote something I can't read.
13:07
Speaker 1: Kills are among the highest in the eighth arm coreps,
13:11
Speaker 1: not just one hundred and seventy seventh division sufficient for
13:15
Speaker 1: individual operation of the Rigganleaf. Manufacturer WHM total length six
13:22
Speaker 1: point three meters, height two point seven meters, not including
13:25
Speaker 1: grappling subarms, armaments, grappling subarm, high frequency blade times two
13:32
Speaker 1: grappling subarm, twelve point seven millimeter machine gun times two
13:37
Speaker 1: wire anchored times two gun. Mount arm installed on the
13:41
Speaker 1: rear of the fuselage, normally equipped with an eighty eight
13:44
Speaker 1: millimeter smooth bore gun can be substituted for a large
13:49
Speaker 1: autocannon slash multiple launch rocketpad WOW anti armour pile driver
13:56
Speaker 1: times four installed on the unit's legs charges each So
14:02
Speaker 1: that's a bunch of information that you now know about that.
14:05
Speaker 1: That really didn't help me at all. But there's a
14:08
Speaker 1: lot of weapons on it and it can do things anyway.
14:11
Speaker 1: Growth says, if we're going to prepare for this large
14:13
Speaker 1: scale offensive, do we not need to break with traditional
14:16
Speaker 1: doctrine and have a small, elite unit capable of battling
14:19
Speaker 1: a much larger force to protect the Federacy and its people.
14:24
Speaker 1: I hope you'll consider allowing my Reagan leafs, as well
14:27
Speaker 1: as the Nord's Lich Squadron, to be put to their
14:29
Speaker 1: proper use. General, we see a bunch of people now
14:32
Speaker 1: walking down a hallway. We can't really tell who they are,
14:36
Speaker 1: like we're seeing just parts of them and hearing them walk.
14:38
Speaker 1: And it's July thirty first, twenty one forty nine. So
14:41
Speaker 1: the next day and we hear guys say reporting squadron commander,
14:46
Speaker 1: there were two casualties in the battle yesterday, putting us
14:48
Speaker 1: at under twenty men. So nineteen maybe we're eighteen. Okay,
14:52
Speaker 1: so we see the people walking down the hall. Now
14:54
Speaker 1: it's this dude, like an older dude with gray hair
14:57
Speaker 1: and like a scar over's nose that I'm pretty sure
14:59
Speaker 1: is the guy who was driving the car in the
15:01
Speaker 1: last episode. And then also Shin is there. So the
15:04
Speaker 1: guy says, we're just out here on loan from the
15:06
Speaker 1: labs and a group of foreigners too, and our commander
15:09
Speaker 1: is the famous Spider Woman, the weirdest girl even among
15:13
Speaker 1: the lab weirdos. Yeah, that's what I was talking about
15:16
Speaker 1: about overexplaining and saying things to characters that already know
15:18
Speaker 1: the thing, and it's really weird that I hate that. Anyway,
15:22
Speaker 1: a guy passes them and kind of side eyes them,
15:25
Speaker 1: and the dude says, we're asking for more men, but
15:27
Speaker 1: they won't send anymore again. Shin's like, I'm used to
15:31
Speaker 1: not having additional men. The guy's face kind of falls.
15:35
Speaker 1: Your life would have been easier if you just joined
15:37
Speaker 1: one of the regular units. Shin's like, I feel more
15:40
Speaker 1: at home here. The guy like kind of makes an
15:42
Speaker 1: exasperated sigh and says, as long as you don't get
15:45
Speaker 1: us killed with idiotic orders, Shin stops and looks out
15:49
Speaker 1: the window at some people who are unloading you know,
15:53
Speaker 1: bodies and body bags out of the back of a truck. Yay,
15:57
Speaker 1: And the guy continues, even if if you're a braddy
16:00
Speaker 1: kid who never smiles and puts himself at the head
16:02
Speaker 1: of every charge, yeah, Sin is still just kind of
16:05
Speaker 1: looking at the dead bodies, the guy continues, or reaper,
16:08
Speaker 1: he'll drive you crazy. Shin is thinking now about how
16:12
Speaker 1: he killed Eugene and is totally okay, by the way,
16:15
Speaker 1: and the guy continues, if you try to sympathize with us,
16:18
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter to me. It sounds like it matters
16:21
Speaker 1: to you, actually, And again, I don't think people really
16:24
Speaker 1: talk like this. But that's okay because Shin wasn't actually
16:26
Speaker 1: listening to any of this. He's busy thinking about dead Eugene.
16:31
Speaker 1: And eventually the guy notices and says Lieutenant. Lieutenant Shin
16:36
Speaker 1: gasps and looks over at him. The guy just kind
16:38
Speaker 1: of nods, and then Shin looks forward like super disgusted.
16:43
Speaker 1: And I was confused for a second until I realize
16:45
Speaker 1: that Frederica is walking down the hallway towards them, and
16:50
Speaker 1: she is wearing like this giant like shirt, like, you know,
16:54
Speaker 1: like a large men's button down shirt basically with like
16:58
Speaker 1: no pants or anything, and she doesn't have shit on,
17:00
Speaker 1: and she's rubbing her eyes, which are mostly or all
17:03
Speaker 1: the way closed, I'm not sure. She walks literally right
17:06
Speaker 1: into Shin's stomach and Shin's like, change before you leave
17:10
Speaker 1: your room. Frederica, still not really awake, says ugh Katy,
17:17
Speaker 1: I was combing my hair. Sin's like, Frederica. Frederica finally
17:23
Speaker 1: opens her eyes and she gasps, and she's like, shinay, sorry,
17:26
Speaker 1: I got it wrong, But she like just kind of
17:30
Speaker 1: starts to walk around him and continue down the hall,
17:32
Speaker 1: and Shin like grabs her by the back of the shirt,
17:35
Speaker 1: and Frederica looks super confused. And then we see THEO
17:39
Speaker 1: and are walking down the hall, and Theo's like yesterday
17:43
Speaker 1: was rough, And then we hear Shin say Anju sorry.
17:47
Speaker 1: Andrew looks over and Frederica is being tossed through the
17:51
Speaker 1: air in her direction and she totally manages to catch her.
17:55
Speaker 1: So I guess Shin has a lot of faith in
17:57
Speaker 1: her ability to react, because if that had happened to me,
18:01
Speaker 1: Frederica would have just knocked me over because I wouldn't
18:04
Speaker 1: have known what to do anyway. Frederica is in Andrew's
18:07
Speaker 1: arms and Frederica is still out of it. And Andrew's like, Frederica, THEO,
18:12
Speaker 1: go get a uniform. Theo's like huh, and he's like
18:16
Speaker 1: looking around. He's like m and he turns and he
18:18
Speaker 1: starts the head back in the direction they just came in,
18:20
Speaker 1: and he's like, I just got here. The guy with
18:23
Speaker 1: the gray hair is like, oh, you got another presence.
18:26
Speaker 1: He shows Shin the tablet that he's holding and continues.
18:31
Speaker 1: The idea of the eighty six is poor helpless children
18:33
Speaker 1: is really getting out of control. He swipes and we
18:37
Speaker 1: see a bunch of pictures of wrapped gifts and toys
18:40
Speaker 1: which are clearly intended for like seven year olds, and
18:44
Speaker 1: I feel bad, and Shin's like, get rid of them all.
18:48
Speaker 1: Don't even tell me about them. The guy's like, I'd
18:51
Speaker 1: love to, but I need to follow the rules militaries
18:55
Speaker 1: or organizations filled with inefficient, illogical humans. So this conclude
19:00
Speaker 1: your reports, Squadron commander. He holds up the tablet and says,
19:04
Speaker 1: as for the rules, sign here please. We got to
19:08
Speaker 1: food some sort of mashed potato something that looks like
19:12
Speaker 1: it has vegetables in it, I don't really know, being
19:15
Speaker 1: kind of or like from a melon baller Onto like
19:18
Speaker 1: a tray. We see that we're in a dining hall, obviously,
19:22
Speaker 1: and it looks like Spearhead is sitting in the back corner,
19:25
Speaker 1: except Coarina's not there, and we getting closer and Frederica
19:29
Speaker 1: has her head in her hands and she is just
19:32
Speaker 1: bright red and groaning, and Andrew laughs. Rydan looks over
19:36
Speaker 1: at Shin, who seems to be the only one that
19:38
Speaker 1: without a tray of food, which kind of worries me,
19:40
Speaker 1: and Shin says, eat Frederica. Frederica is like, no true
19:45
Speaker 1: lady should let herself be seen like that. THEO says,
19:49
Speaker 1: who's a lady? Frederica gasps. Ryden's like, the biggest problem
19:54
Speaker 1: is that you were half asleep and half naked wandering
19:58
Speaker 1: around the base. Frederica gas again, and she's like, who
20:01
Speaker 1: told you riding? They all just kind of look at her,
20:04
Speaker 1: and then Corna walks up and she's like waving and
20:07
Speaker 1: she's like, hey, guys. Frederica slams her head down on
20:10
Speaker 1: the table and Corna is so confused, and Frederica says,
20:14
Speaker 1: you could be so mean. Karina is still very, very confused,
20:19
Speaker 1: and Sen says, all I said was if you can't
20:22
Speaker 1: manage to dress yourself out here, you'd be better off
20:25
Speaker 1: back at base. Mascots aren't asked to follow military orders.
20:28
Speaker 1: We'd feel better if you are back at the rear. Frederica,
20:31
Speaker 1: whose face is still down on the table, says, I
20:34
Speaker 1: can't do that. I'm here to see this till the end.
20:38
Speaker 1: Ride in chuckles. Make sure you don't wand around the
20:41
Speaker 1: base half asleep and half naked anymore. Then Karina, who
20:44
Speaker 1: had sat down, stands and she's like half naked. Atheo's like,
20:49
Speaker 1: so get this. Frederica cuts him off, and he's like,
20:51
Speaker 1: don't tell her. Carna sits back down, but she's still
20:55
Speaker 1: like half naked. Frederica says, stop talking about that. It's
21:01
Speaker 1: been a long time since you've been together, right, Coarina
21:03
Speaker 1: stands again and she's like that's right, and A's like, Korina,
21:07
Speaker 1: calm down, right and says, we won't be together for long,
21:11
Speaker 1: Andie's like, we'll be starting clean up, I guess, THEO says,
21:15
Speaker 1: repairing damaged defenses, recovering the remains of allied and enemy
21:19
Speaker 1: weapons bodies too. We cut to Marcel, who is just
21:24
Speaker 1: all bandaged up and really sad, looking very clearly being
21:27
Speaker 1: transported somewhere, and then we see that he's being flown
21:30
Speaker 1: out somewhere, and THEO continues the mechanized units got hit hard,
21:34
Speaker 1: we might get sent out on patrol. AND's like, even
21:37
Speaker 1: though we know there's no points. THEO, who is eating
21:40
Speaker 1: an apple now, says we can't explain that though, and
21:43
Speaker 1: she's like yeah, and she takes a sip of coffee.
21:47
Speaker 1: Maybe they should explain it. Frederica takes out like the
21:51
Speaker 1: pinkest journal I've ever seen and says, geez, you've become
21:55
Speaker 1: used to being the lackeys for the whole army. Today
21:57
Speaker 1: we're heading back to our base. Oh. I guess she
22:00
Speaker 1: gets instructions that they don't. We cut to clouds and
22:04
Speaker 1: we can see a bird's shadow like on them, and
22:07
Speaker 1: then the clouds part to reveal an aerial shot of
22:10
Speaker 1: a base that shaped kind of like an X, but
22:13
Speaker 1: also with some you know, runways or whatever. And this
22:16
Speaker 1: is the GIAD Federacy one hundred and seventy seventh Division
22:19
Speaker 1: Command Post. Okay, I guess that's their home base. We
22:23
Speaker 1: see Shin lifting Frederica down out of a truck and
22:26
Speaker 1: Girth is over on the side, and Frederica waves to her,
22:30
Speaker 1: and Girth is like, welcome back. We cut to them
22:32
Speaker 1: sitting in a meeting at desks. It's just Spearhead and
22:36
Speaker 1: like these two other random guys for some reason, and
22:39
Speaker 1: we hear Girth say, first, thanks for all the rescue
22:43
Speaker 1: and support missions you've been doing. It looks like the
22:45
Speaker 1: Reagan leaves work better with you in the foreign units.
22:48
Speaker 1: What do you think, lieutenant, do you like them? Shin's like,
22:52
Speaker 1: I've submitted my evaluation alongside with that of the Power Raid.
22:57
Speaker 1: That's confusing. I don't think you're still using the power raid.
23:00
Speaker 1: Girth is like, yeah, so now I want to hear
23:03
Speaker 1: how you feel about them. You use feldrebs of similar
23:05
Speaker 1: types back in the Republic, right, Shin Size, if you're
23:08
Speaker 1: asking about the Juggernauts you made, Girth corrects him. Reagan leaves.
23:13
Speaker 1: Sin's like juggernauts, Girth says. Reagan leafs sins like juggernauts.
23:19
Speaker 1: Girth size fine. Ryden is trying super hard to stifle
23:23
Speaker 1: his laughter, and Girth says and sins like they are
23:29
Speaker 1: aluminum coffins, slightly better than the ones the Republic had.
23:34
Speaker 1: Girth's like, really, Coarina glances over THEO and very quietly says, huh,
23:40
Speaker 1: did she not know? THEO was like those things were
23:45
Speaker 1: only designed for mobility, not safety. Girth does not look happy,
23:49
Speaker 1: and Andrew says they're responsible for the deaths of several processors,
23:53
Speaker 1: probably more than that Onju, but okay. Ryden's like, we
23:57
Speaker 1: only barely manage to use them because we're experienced. Girth
24:01
Speaker 1: says they're slightly better than the ones that made me
24:04
Speaker 1: doubt the sanity of the idiot who designed them. The
24:07
Speaker 1: guys who piloted them were crazy too. Sheen's like, that
24:11
Speaker 1: was what we were given. Girth's like, oh, I see,
24:16
Speaker 1: Chen says they're not bad. I don't think they just
24:21
Speaker 1: require a certain sort of processor. I appreciate their speed.
24:26
Speaker 1: They're fast and also precise. They're highly maneuverable. Girth is like,
24:33
Speaker 1: I see for some reason, I don't think I'm being complimented.
24:38
Speaker 1: Anju whispers to Karna and THEO. He's not complimenting, or
24:42
Speaker 1: is he. Girth's like, so, why'd you agree to be
24:45
Speaker 1: an operator? Chen says, I'm told it was you that
24:49
Speaker 1: recommended us Girth's like as test pilots. I'm actually opposed
24:54
Speaker 1: to child soldiers being sent out on the front lines,
24:57
Speaker 1: especially eighty six. Like you, he was a Vanangander pilot
25:01
Speaker 1: when I started ten years ago, I was your age.
25:04
Speaker 1: She puts her hand on chinned shoulder, but he doesn't
25:07
Speaker 1: look super happy about it, and I think she should
25:09
Speaker 1: remove it anyway, She continues, a lot of my comrades
25:13
Speaker 1: died because of those slow ass Vanagander. I told myself
25:17
Speaker 1: so many times that a faster feldreb could have saved
25:20
Speaker 1: their lives. That's why I made the Reagan leaps. She
25:24
Speaker 1: kind of walks back up to the front. Now, thank
25:26
Speaker 1: you for your honest opinion, Lieutenant. I'll make you give
25:29
Speaker 1: me a better one with the next round of upgrades.
25:31
Speaker 1: Look forward to it. Theo yons. Greth kind of looks
25:35
Speaker 1: down at the table and says, now, I've got good
25:38
Speaker 1: news before I give you the message. The other day,
25:41
Speaker 1: we were finally able to confirm the survival of the
25:43
Speaker 1: United Kingdom of Roa Gracia and the Alliance of walt
25:47
Speaker 1: According to the wireless transmissions we received. Karina very quietly says, huh,
25:52
Speaker 1: what countries are those? Theo's like to the north and south.
25:56
Speaker 1: GREATH continues over top of them, they managed to build
25:59
Speaker 1: the fence of lines and maintain an area they could
26:01
Speaker 1: survive inn on jude to. Karina says, we learned that
26:04
Speaker 1: an officer's school. Karina's like, did we? GREATH continues, However,
26:09
Speaker 1: the other surrounding nations, as well as the Republic of
26:12
Speaker 1: San Magnolia to the west, are still not answering our
26:15
Speaker 1: radio messages. Everyone kind of looks at each other, and
26:18
Speaker 1: this random guy, one of the two random guys, raises
26:22
Speaker 1: his hand and says, so is the message a bad one, ma'am?
26:26
Speaker 1: Greath's like, Unfortunately it is. We're predicting a large scale
26:30
Speaker 1: legion attack soon. Karina and THEO, who had not really
26:34
Speaker 1: been paying that much attention before, actually start to pay
26:36
Speaker 1: attention now, and GREATH continues, the Western Theater Army will
26:40
Speaker 1: be strengthening its forces. She puts her hands on a
26:44
Speaker 1: map that's I guess on the wall of the Western
26:45
Speaker 1: Theater Army, and she continues and reorganizing its chain of commands.
26:50
Speaker 1: The oneenty and twenty eighth Test Unit will be placed
26:52
Speaker 1: under the one hundred and seventy seventh mechanized, and I
26:55
Speaker 1: will be taking command. It's time for the Nordlich Squadron
26:58
Speaker 1: and my Reagan leaves to shine. Any questions, Sin raises
27:02
Speaker 1: his hand. What's the size of the offensive? Girth says,
27:06
Speaker 1: we expect to be able to beat it back easily
27:08
Speaker 1: with our current forces. You'd send me a message about
27:11
Speaker 1: something similar right. Ride In looks over at Chin, Girth continues,
27:16
Speaker 1: I read it yesterday with great interest, but it goes
27:19
Speaker 1: far beyond what our analysts are saying. You don't need
27:21
Speaker 1: to be worried. Yeah, the Federacy isn't like the Republic.
27:25
Speaker 1: We take recon and analysis seriously, and we prepare properly,
27:29
Speaker 1: and more than anything, the Federacy will never abandon those
27:32
Speaker 1: who fight alongside it, I hope. So they all look
27:36
Speaker 1: pretty worried, but Chin looks horribly deeply worried. Yeah, I
27:41
Speaker 1: get it. We see the green Federacy flag flying outside
27:46
Speaker 1: and there's a crow perched on top of it. Then
27:48
Speaker 1: we go to the title card. Welcome back back from
27:52
Speaker 1: the title Frederica is carrying the awful bear thing down
27:56
Speaker 1: the hallway and she stops outside a door and she
27:59
Speaker 1: knocks on it. And she looks kind of worried, and
28:02
Speaker 1: nobody answers, and she sighs, and we hear Shinn from
28:05
Speaker 1: behind her say what is it. Frederica gasps, and it's like,
28:08
Speaker 1: would you quit your hobby of walking in complete silence? Already?
28:12
Speaker 1: They go, I guess inside his room and we see
28:14
Speaker 1: like his bed and an electric tea kettle and original
28:18
Speaker 1: Blend coffee and two mugs. And Frederica says, it's so
28:22
Speaker 1: dreary in here. You should put up a painting, our
28:24
Speaker 1: photo or something. It's so desolate. Fuck you. Shin's like,
28:29
Speaker 1: all I do here is sleep. If I have more things,
28:32
Speaker 1: that makes it harder to clean. Plus they're like always
28:35
Speaker 1: going around doing other stuff. I don't know, man. We
28:38
Speaker 1: do see that he has a pile of books on
28:39
Speaker 1: his desk, so classic Shin. Frederica says, it's not just
28:44
Speaker 1: a place to sleep, it's a place to live, a
28:46
Speaker 1: place to call home. It's not good to leave it empty.
28:50
Speaker 1: She starts to flip through a book that's on the
28:52
Speaker 1: desk and says, maybe it was okay in the Republic,
28:55
Speaker 1: but Eugene's room was filled with photos. Fuck you, This
28:58
Speaker 1: is not a time to bring up dead friend and
29:01
Speaker 1: tell Shin that he's not good enough because his dead
29:03
Speaker 1: friend had photos on the walls. It's weird. It's weird.
29:06
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Shin's like you were the one
29:09
Speaker 1: that cleaned it. Frederica says, there aren't enough hands to
29:13
Speaker 1: do all the work that he's doing. I helped go
29:15
Speaker 1: through his things. It was all photos of his sister.
29:19
Speaker 1: Shin's like, you shouldn't have talked to him, then you
29:22
Speaker 1: wouldn't have had to see him die. Yeah. Frederica is like,
29:27
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Even if death will eventually tear
29:31
Speaker 1: you apart, it's better to meet someone than not to
29:33
Speaker 1: meet them. You should remember that. She takes her camera
29:38
Speaker 1: out and takes a picture of Shin. Shin winces at
29:41
Speaker 1: the flash. If there's no need, you shouldn't get involved
29:44
Speaker 1: in someone else's death, Frederica is like, you want to talk.
29:48
Speaker 1: We cut to a shot of Shin's gun resting on
29:50
Speaker 1: like a desk or a shelf or something, and Frederica says,
29:54
Speaker 1: mister kind and gentle reaper. Shin kind of looks off
29:57
Speaker 1: to the side, just not super happy and general and says,
30:01
Speaker 1: why did you come here. Frederica is like, well, I'm
30:06
Speaker 1: sorry about this morning. When I said Katie, Sin's like, oh,
30:11
Speaker 1: are we that similar? Frederica is like, yeah, not like twins,
30:15
Speaker 1: but very similar. She takes her journal out of the
30:18
Speaker 1: bear abomination and continues, My night, Kitty A Nosen was
30:22
Speaker 1: a member of the Nosenklan, just like you. She opens
30:25
Speaker 1: the journal to a blank page. He wasn't a direct
30:28
Speaker 1: descendant of the clan, so he wasn't really related to you.
30:32
Speaker 1: Shin goes over and turns on the wall fan, and
30:34
Speaker 1: then he turns on the tea kettle. Frederica continues, but
30:37
Speaker 1: he was four years older than you, so last time
30:39
Speaker 1: I saw him he looked like you do. Now. She's
30:42
Speaker 1: drawing something in a fortress filled with adults. He was
30:46
Speaker 1: the only one that would play with me. He would
30:48
Speaker 1: comb my hair and get me flowers from the garden.
30:51
Speaker 1: No matter what selfish things I asked for, he would
30:53
Speaker 1: never get upset. Chin puts instant coffee into the mugs.
30:58
Speaker 1: Frederica laughs and is like he was really serious about
31:01
Speaker 1: everything and stubborn too. I'm sure if you guys met
31:04
Speaker 1: you wouldn't get along at all. Here Shin turns and
31:08
Speaker 1: Frederica is showing him a picture of Kitty, I guess,
31:12
Speaker 1: and another person. It's not clear which one is Kitty.
31:15
Speaker 1: It's just two black haired people. One of them has
31:17
Speaker 1: red eyes, the one on the right, and Shin says
31:21
Speaker 1: which one. Frederica gasps this one and points to the
31:25
Speaker 1: happy looking, black eyed one on the left. So I
31:28
Speaker 1: guess Shin's the one on the right. Anyway, she continues,
31:31
Speaker 1: when you talk to someone, close your book, follow the
31:33
Speaker 1: rules and regulations. He was all about that stuff. I'm
31:37
Speaker 1: sure you'd ignore all that, which wud make him angrier.
31:40
Speaker 1: I can almost see it. Shin pours water into the mugs.
31:44
Speaker 1: Why did he become a legion? Frederica says, it's my fault.
31:49
Speaker 1: Shin glances over at her. Frederica is now drawing herself
31:53
Speaker 1: between them and the picture, and she says, did Giad
31:57
Speaker 1: Empire used the legion to attack our neighbors? That the
32:00
Speaker 1: people were builed and the imperial family was chased to
32:03
Speaker 1: a border fortress. There's a red light outside that's just blinking.
32:07
Speaker 1: It's like dark out, you know how Like sometimes they'll
32:10
Speaker 1: be like a big like a tower or something, and
32:11
Speaker 1: they'll be a red light on the top at night.
32:13
Speaker 1: The blinks, so the planes don't fly into it or whatever.
32:16
Speaker 1: I assume that's what's happening, because it's like really dark
32:19
Speaker 1: out and they just keep being this red light blinking
32:22
Speaker 1: at you know, constant intervals throughout this conversation. It looks
32:26
Speaker 1: really cool. Actually anyway, Frederica continues, the Legion were supposed
32:31
Speaker 1: to protect us and our soldiers steed, but ironically, well
32:35
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what happens, but the Legion weren't
32:38
Speaker 1: built to fight alongside humans, so we had human defenders
32:41
Speaker 1: at the fortress, and Kittya had to fight to protect
32:44
Speaker 1: me against the rebelling people since, like you mean the
32:47
Speaker 1: current federal army, Frederica says, yes, he killed many of
32:52
Speaker 1: them and eventually went insane. Oh my god. He lost
32:56
Speaker 1: his family, everyone he knew, the home he grew up
32:59
Speaker 1: in was in the enemy territory, and the other members
33:02
Speaker 1: of the Royal Guard alongside him fell one after the other,
33:05
Speaker 1: like Timee's falling from a comb I think he just
33:09
Speaker 1: lost too much. Eventually, fighting for my sake became all
33:13
Speaker 1: he had. I would often see him smiling at me
33:16
Speaker 1: while crushing a Federacy souldier beneath his boots and a
33:20
Speaker 1: blood stained fell drub at his side. What the fuck
33:24
Speaker 1: with a calm, bright look on his face. I was
33:27
Speaker 1: so scared. Yeah, there's a long pause as she stares
33:30
Speaker 1: at the picture of Katy that she drew. Shin sets
33:33
Speaker 1: down a mug in front of her on the desk,
33:35
Speaker 1: and she continues. Eventually, the fortress fell and the Federacy
33:39
Speaker 1: caught us. I was lucky that Ernest was there to
33:42
Speaker 1: inspire his men. Thanks to him. The only thing that
33:45
Speaker 1: was shown to the crowd is proof of my death
33:47
Speaker 1: was the imperial mantle I wore. Shin's eyes widen as
33:50
Speaker 1: he remembers Kitty's memories. Maybe he's finally putting that together,
33:55
Speaker 1: Like he didn't realize it was him that he was
33:57
Speaker 1: seeing the memories of or something. I'm not sure sure.
34:00
Speaker 1: Frederica continues, but Kittius saw it. Fuck, we kind of
34:05
Speaker 1: flash back and forth between the memories that Chin saw
34:08
Speaker 1: and Shin and Frederica just bathed in red lights. And
34:12
Speaker 1: Frederica continues, And at that moment, the Legion were wandering
34:16
Speaker 1: the battlefield looking for things they could recycle. Curtius stood there,
34:20
Speaker 1: not moving. He didn't run. I turned him into a monster.
34:25
Speaker 1: I don't think that was your fault. But okay, there
34:28
Speaker 1: is a moth caught in a spiderweb outside the window,
34:32
Speaker 1: Frederica continues, and in the end the empire fell and
34:36
Speaker 1: many died, and only the Legion are left. She reaches
34:40
Speaker 1: for the mug. You said they're coming, right, Kitty will
34:44
Speaker 1: be there too, And when that happens, Shin kind of
34:48
Speaker 1: cuts her off. I understand, Frederica says, you don't. If
34:54
Speaker 1: it gets dangerous, run, don't fight. They both kind of
34:59
Speaker 1: pause and stay I heard his gun, and she continues,
35:02
Speaker 1: I've forgotten how easily people die, no matter how you
35:05
Speaker 1: want them to have a future. You were right a
35:08
Speaker 1: moment ago. I don't want the people I've meant to die.
35:11
Speaker 1: Saving Kitty isn't worth yours in other's deaths. You all
35:15
Speaker 1: have a future, and that cannot be taken from you.
35:19
Speaker 1: Sin's like a future. Fredrika says, I knew it. You
35:25
Speaker 1: never even thought about it. Geez. It's not a good example,
35:29
Speaker 1: but you should take a lesson from Eugene. Your next leave,
35:33
Speaker 1: go where you want to go, what you want to
35:35
Speaker 1: do someday. Anything like that'll do. Chin just kind of chuckles.
35:40
Speaker 1: Frederica is like, what's so funny. Sin's like, no, someone
35:45
Speaker 1: once told me the same thing. Frederica says, what'd you say?
35:50
Speaker 1: Gin's like that, I never thought about it. Frederica says,
35:55
Speaker 1: how boring. Even your heart is dreary. That person must
35:59
Speaker 1: have been discipled. Shin chuckles and looks out the window
36:03
Speaker 1: at the full moon. Maybe. So we cut to ride
36:07
Speaker 1: In standing in a doorway looking kind of confused. Shin
36:11
Speaker 1: is walking up, carrying Frederica, who is asleep in his arms,
36:15
Speaker 1: and he says, what are you doing right? AND's like,
36:19
Speaker 1: she likes you, big brother. Sheen says, I just remind
36:23
Speaker 1: her of someone, right, and it's like that night, isn't
36:27
Speaker 1: it the same for you? You seem to have taken
36:30
Speaker 1: a real liking her. Shin's like maybe he looks at her,
36:35
Speaker 1: She's the same as the old may right, and says,
36:38
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, agreed. Ryan takes her out
36:41
Speaker 1: of Shin's arms and kind of puts her over his
36:44
Speaker 1: shoulder and he like taps on like the bluetooth com
36:47
Speaker 1: thing on his ear and says, Corina, come pick up
36:49
Speaker 1: the princess. Shin turns around to leave and right and says, hey, wait,
36:55
Speaker 1: Shin turns back. We see a super huge low full
36:59
Speaker 1: moon with two crows in front of it on a wire,
37:03
Speaker 1: and then Shin and Rydon are standing on like, I
37:05
Speaker 1: guess this catwalk and this big hangar overlooking some Reagan
37:09
Speaker 1: leaps and right And says you gave them a warning. Huh.
37:13
Speaker 1: Sin's like, I figured I might as well try, Right
37:16
Speaker 1: And says, I told you when we came here to
37:19
Speaker 1: keep that power of your secrets. You haven't forgotten what
37:22
Speaker 1: they called you when they found out you could hear
37:23
Speaker 1: those voices. Reaper. The Federacy aren't the saints they think
37:27
Speaker 1: they are. And even here we're not treated as equals.
37:30
Speaker 1: It isn't just the legion that likes to cut out
37:32
Speaker 1: people's brains. Wow, that's mean. If you want to be
37:37
Speaker 1: a guinea pig, that's up to you, But I don't
37:40
Speaker 1: want to end up as a hostage to encourage you
37:42
Speaker 1: don't do anything stupid. Sin's like sorry, right and says
37:48
Speaker 1: the warning you gave them is enough on its own.
37:50
Speaker 1: It's up to them if they want to believe it.
37:52
Speaker 1: But are you okay? Sins like, what do you mean?
37:58
Speaker 1: Right And says you're not thinking of anything? You don't
38:01
Speaker 1: need to be are you? Is what Ernst said, bothering you?
38:06
Speaker 1: What Shin's like the future? Righton says, yeah, Shin's like
38:13
Speaker 1: Frederica told me to think about it, but I never have.
38:16
Speaker 1: I never needed to you. Righton says, I think it'll
38:21
Speaker 1: all work out. It can be harder than fighting the legion.
38:24
Speaker 1: He looks over at the scar where the paraoid used
38:27
Speaker 1: to be on Shin's ear, and then up at the ceiling.
38:30
Speaker 1: It was always about this time of day, wasn't it.
38:33
Speaker 1: Shin's like you think the major's doing okay. Righton kind
38:37
Speaker 1: of looks over at him and shins size and then
38:39
Speaker 1: right in size too. Me cut back to the crows,
38:43
Speaker 1: but now there is only one left, and then we
38:46
Speaker 1: go to the ending theme, which is a crow flying close
38:51
Speaker 1: to the camera with a bluish sky in the background
38:54
Speaker 1: and it has red eyes. And then we go to
38:57
Speaker 1: that butterfly caught in the spider's web. The butterfly blue
39:00
Speaker 1: and the rest of the image is pink. And then
39:03
Speaker 1: with the ending theme still playing, we cut out of
39:06
Speaker 1: those still frames and we see Lena's window with like
39:10
Speaker 1: the flower vase and that like box of the faces
39:12
Speaker 1: on it. Which we haven't seen her in almost two episodes,
39:16
Speaker 1: and then we cut to a map I guess on
39:18
Speaker 1: her wall with like lots of little sticky notes with
39:20
Speaker 1: notes written on them, but we can't tell what they
39:22
Speaker 1: are because they're literal scribbles, and then to Lena is
39:24
Speaker 1: sitting at the desk looking at it. I missed her. Actually,
39:29
Speaker 1: she turns to look at that peg board that has
39:32
Speaker 1: all the little faces on it, and there are significantly
39:35
Speaker 1: fewer of them now, there's only nine left besides Spearhead.
39:40
Speaker 1: And then we see her pen as she writes, and
39:42
Speaker 1: then a partially open piece of chocolate on her desk
39:45
Speaker 1: with a little heart on it, and she looks totally exhausted,
39:51
Speaker 1: and then we get the next episode title card. Even so,
39:55
Speaker 1: and that's it. Gee, So closing thoughts, I actually en
40:00
Speaker 1: reading that episode way better than I thought I was
40:02
Speaker 1: going to. So maybe just acknowledging that I wasn't having
40:05
Speaker 1: as much fun with this as I thought I would
40:07
Speaker 1: be made me have more fun. Or maybe I'm just
40:09
Speaker 1: in an okay mood today for some fucked up reason
40:11
Speaker 1: that I can't understand. Who knows, But yeah, that was okay,
40:16
Speaker 1: very much. Nothing happened except that I'm worried about Shin,
40:20
Speaker 1: and it's nice that Rydon is also concerned. He seems
40:24
Speaker 1: like really the only person who notices when Shin's kind
40:27
Speaker 1: of acting off, And I really like that about him,
40:30
Speaker 1: that he's like so in tune with Shin. I think
40:32
Speaker 1: it's because he's known him the longest, because they were
40:35
Speaker 1: in a squadron before Spearhead together. But like it's nice
40:39
Speaker 1: because he's probably right on, and he's probably right on
40:43
Speaker 1: about the Federacy too. They're probably not as good as
40:47
Speaker 1: they think that they are, I mean, at anything, at
40:49
Speaker 1: being nice people, but then like also as fighters and analysts,
40:55
Speaker 1: like they're not doing a good job. And I'm really
40:59
Speaker 1: conflicted about Shin not telling them, like they could say
41:04
Speaker 1: Shin is crazy. That could put him at a mental institution.
41:07
Speaker 1: I don't know. They probably wouldn't do that, but they could,
41:10
Speaker 1: and that would be bad, right, it would be bad,
41:13
Speaker 1: But would it be as bad as everyone dying because
41:16
Speaker 1: they don't have the correct information because they withheld it
41:19
Speaker 1: from them because they were afraid that they would look weird,
41:22
Speaker 1: that they'd have weird opinions of Shin. Like I don't
41:25
Speaker 1: think so. I think you need to tell them what's
41:27
Speaker 1: going on, and then they can decide what to do
41:30
Speaker 1: with that information. Because if he's just saying, like, oh,
41:33
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be like tons and
41:35
Speaker 1: tons of legion, but he doesn't have any reasons, Like
41:39
Speaker 1: he's not explaining why he thinks that, why would they
41:42
Speaker 1: believe him? You know, Maybe he's just you know, overly
41:46
Speaker 1: pessimistic and afraid of things. I mean, he's been in
41:49
Speaker 1: battle for a really long time. Maybe you know, he's
41:53
Speaker 1: just being cynical. So it's just assuming it's going to
41:55
Speaker 1: be this crazy, big wave of legion and all their
41:57
Speaker 1: people are saying no, no, no, it's going to be fine.
42:00
Speaker 1: So you have to provide evidence or there's no reason
42:03
Speaker 1: to believe him, you know. So that's that he probably
42:07
Speaker 1: should tell them, is what I'm saying. And if he
42:10
Speaker 1: doesn't and a lot of them died, it's a little
42:12
Speaker 1: bit his fault, I mean, not all his fault, but
42:15
Speaker 1: like he could have done something. So yeah, but yeah,
42:20
Speaker 1: I'm worried about Shin. Obviously there's a ton going on there.
42:24
Speaker 1: He's not happy, he's not doing okay, and I don't
42:28
Speaker 1: know why he would be, honestly, So, yeah, we found
42:31
Speaker 1: out about Katie and how he went crazy and all
42:35
Speaker 1: that stuff, which is just great, but it totally works
42:38
Speaker 1: with what we saw in episode What was that like
42:41
Speaker 1: eleven of his memories, you know, all for the princess
42:45
Speaker 1: kind of deal, and I guess really the Giad Empire
42:49
Speaker 1: only fell like four years ago, so this kind of
42:52
Speaker 1: all makes sense now. Timeline wise, I'm a little bit
42:55
Speaker 1: concerned that Giod hasn't gotten in touch with San Magnolia. Yeah,
43:00
Speaker 1: but we did just see Lena, so obviously it's still there.
43:04
Speaker 1: Hopefully everything's fine, but things are gonna get worse. It
43:09
Speaker 1: sounds like the Legion are coming and probably soon, so
43:14
Speaker 1: hopefully everyone has enough information to react to it. You know.
43:20
Speaker 1: I think that's really it. I don't think there's much
43:22
Speaker 1: else that needs to be said for this episode because
43:24
Speaker 1: it was kind of calm, just lots of dialogue, and
43:26
Speaker 1: I think we kind of covered most of, you know,
43:29
Speaker 1: what we needed to, so I'm probably just gonna end
43:31
Speaker 1: it there. Yeah, which is great because I have to
43:35
Speaker 1: go mow the lawn, like really badly, and I don't
43:38
Speaker 1: really want to, but it's time. It's been far, far
43:42
Speaker 1: too long. So anyway, I hope that you have a
43:46
Speaker 1: really good whatever, and that you heard my catches jump
43:49
Speaker 1: down from the cat tree and make a little cute
43:50
Speaker 1: noise in there, and I will probably be back with
43:56
Speaker 1: more next week unless the world ends, so I'll see
44:02
Speaker 1: you soon maybe later. Weeps.
