86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.18- The Truth Is · Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

0:00
Speaker 1: Hey, it's your person. I guess, Michelle. Maybe I'm back
0:05
Speaker 1: because that's what happens usually every week, I guess. So
0:10
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk briefly about the summer season of
0:14
Speaker 1: anime that's happening right now, because I feel like I
0:18
Speaker 1: should at least a little bit not gonna be long,
0:20
Speaker 1: just gonna very like briefly go over what I've been
0:23
Speaker 1: watching and what I'm kind of interested in. There's like
0:25
Speaker 1: five things or six things, so really not long, I promise.
0:28
Speaker 1: So there are a couple of things that have like
0:30
Speaker 1: season two's that I'm really excited about or kind of
0:33
Speaker 1: excited about. The first one is Call of the Night
0:36
Speaker 1: Yo Fukashinota, which like is so weird. If you don't
0:40
Speaker 1: know about Call of the Night. It's about a like
0:43
Speaker 1: fourteen year old boy who like starts going out at
0:47
Speaker 1: night in like skipping school during the day, and he
0:49
Speaker 1: meets like a vampire and they become like really good friends,
0:53
Speaker 1: and he wants to be a vampire too. That's what
0:57
Speaker 1: it's about. I really like it. Is it maybe a
1:01
Speaker 1: little too sexual to have this fourteen year old hanging
1:03
Speaker 1: out with like this who knows how old female vampire?
1:08
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it wears me out a little bit, but
1:10
Speaker 1: the first episode of the second season was pretty good
1:13
Speaker 1: and just the art in general, the backgrounds in this
1:16
Speaker 1: endemy are just gorgeous. So I'm really excited to, you know,
1:20
Speaker 1: pick back up because I really like the first season,
1:22
Speaker 1: even though it's a little weird. Another thing I'm gonna
1:25
Speaker 1: start watching, but I haven't started watching yet because I
1:28
Speaker 1: fell asleep as soon as I started watching it, which
1:31
Speaker 1: is not a good sign, is the second season of
1:34
Speaker 1: Kaiju Number eight, which that's the second season of Kaiju
1:38
Speaker 1: Number eight, Like it's about a guy who turned into
1:40
Speaker 1: a kaiju. I. You know, either you've seen it and
1:43
Speaker 1: you like it or you haven't. I think most people
1:46
Speaker 1: liked it. I thought it was pretty good, not amazing,
1:48
Speaker 1: but pretty good. So I'm excited to see where it goes.
1:52
Speaker 1: And then the last season two type thing that I'm
1:55
Speaker 1: looking forward to is Don Danaan, which I have seen
1:58
Speaker 1: the first episode of the new season of already, and yeah,
2:02
Speaker 1: it was really good. Animation was like stellar, looks to
2:06
Speaker 1: me like a lot like mob Cycle one hundred animation wise,
2:10
Speaker 1: especially with like some of the characters that were specifically
2:13
Speaker 1: in the first episode, so that makes me super happy.
2:17
Speaker 1: Is it as good as mob Psyco one hundred? No,
2:19
Speaker 1: it's never gonna be that good, but it's fun, and yeah,
2:24
Speaker 1: it's pretty good, so I'm when we be watching that yay.
2:28
Speaker 1: Then for new things, we have Gotchyakuda, which is, you know,
2:32
Speaker 1: based on a shown in manga about a kid who
2:35
Speaker 1: is tossed into a pit of garbage and then he
2:37
Speaker 1: makes garbage weapons and fights garbage monsters. I believe I've
2:41
Speaker 1: only read like the first couple of chapters and I
2:44
Speaker 1: thought it was like pretty good, but none of the
2:46
Speaker 1: characters connected with me and the story wasn't either, so
2:50
Speaker 1: I didn't continue reading. But like, I have really really
2:53
Speaker 1: weird standards when it comes to manga that I don't
2:56
Speaker 1: with anime, Like I have to connect to a character
2:59
Speaker 1: in or I'm not gonna like it at all. And
3:02
Speaker 1: it can't be like overly wordy or have like too
3:05
Speaker 1: much exposition, like if I see a page that's just
3:08
Speaker 1: like almost all words at the beginning, like I'm out,
3:11
Speaker 1: I'm probably not gonna enjoy it. So I'm not sure
3:14
Speaker 1: what it was about this that made me not but
3:17
Speaker 1: I'm still really excited to see it as an anime.
3:20
Speaker 1: I was going to watch it last night, but I
3:22
Speaker 1: fell asleep not while watching it, so that's good. But
3:26
Speaker 1: it's also done by Studio Bones or Bones Film. I
3:30
Speaker 1: don't know they're calling themselves that now or whatever, but
3:34
Speaker 1: I like Studio Bones a lot, and I believe that
3:39
Speaker 1: Heroshi Seco is on script and serious composition, which, if
3:44
Speaker 1: you have been paying attention at all, he's my favorite
3:46
Speaker 1: scriptwriter just ever. He's done Mobsite Go one hundred, He's
3:51
Speaker 1: currently doing Don Dadan, he did Banana Fish, something else
3:56
Speaker 1: we've already seen but I can't remember what it is,
4:00
Speaker 1: but I just I love him, so I'm excited. Hopefully
4:05
Speaker 1: I enjoyed more than I enjoyed the manga. Two more things,
4:09
Speaker 1: I promise I'm almost done. There's the Summer he Coud Died,
4:12
Speaker 1: which we've talked about a little bit because I was
4:14
Speaker 1: thinking about doing it on the podcast and then I
4:16
Speaker 1: kind of decided not to. But who really knows what
4:19
Speaker 1: will happen next. But yeah, it's kind of like a
4:22
Speaker 1: horror anime where this kid has to deal with the
4:26
Speaker 1: fact that his friend is dead but something else is
4:28
Speaker 1: in his friend's body and figure out how to navigate
4:32
Speaker 1: his life. With this thing that really likes him, but
4:36
Speaker 1: isn't the thing that he really liked his friend. So
4:40
Speaker 1: it's exciting. So far, it looks really good. I've only
4:42
Speaker 1: seen the first episode so far because as of right now,
4:45
Speaker 1: that's all that exists in the world. And then finally,
4:50
Speaker 1: what I'm really excited about is Tacobie's Original Sin, which
4:55
Speaker 1: I have not read the manga of, but I was
4:57
Speaker 1: told it would be really really dark, and it is,
5:01
Speaker 1: And so far there's two episodes out, and I mean,
5:04
Speaker 1: I can give you like a really brief synopsis without
5:07
Speaker 1: like spoiling things, I guess, but like basically, it's about
5:11
Speaker 1: this alien that looks like a pink cartoon octopus. It
5:15
Speaker 1: comes from a like a happy planet that might be
5:17
Speaker 1: called Planet Happy I don't remember right now, and is
5:21
Speaker 1: traveling through the galaxy to spread happiness. And he ends
5:24
Speaker 1: up on Earth and he meets this like twelve year
5:28
Speaker 1: old or something in a park and she is totally
5:34
Speaker 1: miserable and he wants to cheer her up. Yay, that
5:39
Speaker 1: sounds like maybe that could be nice. It's not nice
5:41
Speaker 1: because he's he's like an alien and he doesn't understand
5:46
Speaker 1: like the world at all, and he just happened to
5:50
Speaker 1: find like the one person that's you know, both really
5:54
Speaker 1: need his help and that he really couldn't help very well.
5:59
Speaker 1: So that's all I'm gonna say. I thought the first
6:01
Speaker 1: episode was like really good, but it was exactly what
6:04
Speaker 1: I expected and nothing more kind of, I mean, I
6:06
Speaker 1: didn't exactly expect it, but like the tone and shit,
6:09
Speaker 1: so I was just kind of like, eh, you know,
6:11
Speaker 1: it's real sad and shit, but like, is this really
6:13
Speaker 1: gonna do anything for me and you know, make me
6:16
Speaker 1: enjoy it? But then the second episode was just amazing,
6:19
Speaker 1: and I'm like so excited, and I think it's a
6:21
Speaker 1: really short anime too, because I know that the manga
6:24
Speaker 1: only is like twelve chapters or something, so I just
6:27
Speaker 1: want to know where it goes. I'm really excited about that.
6:29
Speaker 1: So that's my like top thing that I'm interested in
6:31
Speaker 1: right now, and of course it would be. So that's
6:35
Speaker 1: enough of that. That was like seven minutes, and I'm sorry.
6:39
Speaker 1: Let's talk about eighty six, episode eighteen, which is called
6:43
Speaker 1: The Truth Is And I didn't find where that was
6:46
Speaker 1: said in the episode, so hopefully I can find it
6:49
Speaker 1: when I read through. Anyway, if you remember from the
6:51
Speaker 1: last episode we ended with like really fucked up sand
6:55
Speaker 1: Magnolia District one and I think specifically Lena's room with
7:01
Speaker 1: like the curtains all messed up and the windows broken,
7:04
Speaker 1: so yay or something. We don't pick up there, so
7:07
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, just what I wanted. We
7:10
Speaker 1: start on a close up of ernst eye and we
7:13
Speaker 1: hear someone saying for those reasons, we've selected the five
7:17
Speaker 1: eighty six as well as the rest of Nordlich. We
7:20
Speaker 1: have a close up on someone else's eye, kind of
7:22
Speaker 1: like looking down and a little bit concerned, and the
7:25
Speaker 1: voice continues for the mission to destroy the morfo. We
7:28
Speaker 1: see a tablet with the roster of Doorlich on it,
7:30
Speaker 1: but we can only see spearhead because they're at the top,
7:33
Speaker 1: and we go to a different shot now at Ernst
7:35
Speaker 1: and this other guy are like sitting across from each
7:38
Speaker 1: other in his office like couches, and it's September second,
7:42
Speaker 1: twenty one, forty nine, which is I believe where we
7:44
Speaker 1: left off. Anyway, the guy says, this is my formal
7:48
Speaker 1: decision as the Western Theater commander, even you don't have
7:50
Speaker 1: the right to overrule. Ernst cuts him off. I know
7:53
Speaker 1: that I was ready for it, but I want to
7:56
Speaker 1: know one thing. The guy looks pretty concerned and earns
8:00
Speaker 1: as General, this isn't a year late attempt at disinfection,
8:05
Speaker 1: is it. Fuck. The general kind of gasps me too, General,
8:10
Speaker 1: that was real blunt, and Ernest continues, there's no way
8:13
Speaker 1: those children, especially just the five of them, can break
8:16
Speaker 1: through legion controlled territory. Some of the officers had said
8:20
Speaker 1: right when we took them in they would be better
8:22
Speaker 1: to eliminate them for the safety of the federacy. You
8:25
Speaker 1: were one of them. Oh shit. This general dude looks
8:29
Speaker 1: pretty concerned because yeah, you remember that, and Ernest continues,
8:34
Speaker 1: I won't deny your wish to protect what you care for. However,
8:38
Speaker 1: this nation is built on justice. It's not acceptable for
8:42
Speaker 1: a human to try to have their way using violence
8:44
Speaker 1: instead of words. So I'm asking you you can assure
8:48
Speaker 1: me that this isn't what it looks like, can't you? Fuck?
8:52
Speaker 1: The General dude kind of is silent for a moment,
8:55
Speaker 1: and then he says, of course, but I want to
8:58
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts. Ernest two is actually pretty upbeat through
9:02
Speaker 1: all this, says on what the General's like, They're not
9:06
Speaker 1: poor pitiful children. They're monsters created by the madness of
9:10
Speaker 1: the battlefields. Are you willing to take them into your
9:12
Speaker 1: beloved homeland? Is that really what the federacy should be? Yes?
9:17
Speaker 1: Ernst is like, of course, those are my ideals and
9:21
Speaker 1: the ideals of the nation that I lead. I speak
9:24
Speaker 1: on behalf of the entire federacy. After all, I'm responsible
9:27
Speaker 1: for executing my duties with pride and dignity. General is
9:30
Speaker 1: silent for a second again and then says, understood, the
9:34
Speaker 1: way you go to the opening theme, Yay, cool, I
9:37
Speaker 1: can take this little pause to talk about that. So,
9:40
Speaker 1: first of all, I just want to acknowledge how different
9:42
Speaker 1: that is from San Magnolia. How Ernst looks at his
9:45
Speaker 1: responsibility and the way that his nation's ideals come into play.
9:50
Speaker 1: You know, like I guess he was elected. He speaks
9:52
Speaker 1: for the nation, and he is not following the nation's wishes.
9:56
Speaker 1: He is following the ideals that the nation wanted him
9:59
Speaker 1: to fall, if that makes sense, Unlike sand Magnolia that
10:02
Speaker 1: has very clear ideals that they're not following. So Ernst
10:06
Speaker 1: is like, I'm gonna do exactly what I said I
10:08
Speaker 1: was gonna do. I don't fucking care what you think,
10:11
Speaker 1: and you know he's going to strive for a nation
10:15
Speaker 1: that is welcoming and good and doesn't just turn away
10:20
Speaker 1: children from other countries and shit, Whereas when we saw
10:24
Speaker 1: with San Magnolia, specifically with Carl Stahl, he just deflects
10:29
Speaker 1: everything like, well, it's a little of the nation, like, no,
10:32
Speaker 1: you're an elected official, You're supposed to try to make
10:34
Speaker 1: things better, right, and instead he uses it kind of
10:37
Speaker 1: as a crutch. So I'm super happy that they are
10:41
Speaker 1: in this country where Ernest is the president because he
10:44
Speaker 1: at least wants to do good and he's pretty fucking
10:49
Speaker 1: cool just talking to that general like that and asking
10:52
Speaker 1: him point blank if he just wants to kill them.
10:55
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, this scene bothered me a
10:58
Speaker 1: little bit because the general dude who I don't know
11:01
Speaker 1: what his name is, he's talking about spearhead like as monsters,
11:06
Speaker 1: kind of dehumanizing again. So this is the second series
11:08
Speaker 1: in a row that we've done lots of dehumanization of
11:10
Speaker 1: the main characters. But it's a little bit confusing to
11:14
Speaker 1: me because yeah, I mean, they're really good at piloting,
11:19
Speaker 1: like Max with like lots of little legs like spider
11:22
Speaker 1: type Max, But like, how does that make the monsters?
11:26
Speaker 1: They're fighting like unmanned drones basically spearhead aside from shin
11:34
Speaker 1: which you know, are extinguating circumstances, have not killed anyone,
11:39
Speaker 1: not on the battlefield, not in their regular lives. As
11:41
Speaker 1: far as I can tell, They're not monsters. So I'm
11:45
Speaker 1: not really sure why the General feels this way and
11:48
Speaker 1: why so many people do. It's more like they're just
11:51
Speaker 1: really good at like driving cars or something. I don't know.
11:54
Speaker 1: It just it struck me as I don't know, I
11:59
Speaker 1: don't know how to take this, Like I don't know
12:00
Speaker 1: if this is a writing problem or not, Like I
12:03
Speaker 1: don't know if the narrative is making too big of
12:06
Speaker 1: a deal of this, or if this is okay and
12:09
Speaker 1: his perception, though stupid and wrong, would be valid and understandable.
12:14
Speaker 1: For some reason, it just doesn't really work for me,
12:17
Speaker 1: cause like, I don't know. That's really all I have
12:20
Speaker 1: about that. So let's continue. So back from the opening,
12:24
Speaker 1: we see a tablet with that roster on it again,
12:27
Speaker 1: and General Richard is kind of like alone in his
12:31
Speaker 1: dark office, like staring at it, and he sighs and
12:34
Speaker 1: then looks up because he hears something and Greth is
12:36
Speaker 1: opening the door and she's like, oh no, it's pitch black.
12:40
Speaker 1: You'll damage your eyes. I don't actually know if that's true.
12:43
Speaker 1: And also he only has one eye. She flips the
12:46
Speaker 1: light on, and General Richard says, I'm not willing to
12:49
Speaker 1: listen to any alternate plans. Greth is like, I know,
12:52
Speaker 1: so I have a suggestion. She's walking over at his desk.
12:55
Speaker 1: The reason you kept Nordlich Squadron split into smaller platoons
12:58
Speaker 1: was to keep the rest of the Middle Harry from
13:00
Speaker 1: realizing their strength, wasn't it, Richard. General Richard sighs, and
13:04
Speaker 1: he's like, the republic weapons we captured Juggernauts, were they
13:08
Speaker 1: whence you've seen the combat logs on them? It makes
13:11
Speaker 1: you want to do that. He's looking at his own
13:14
Speaker 1: reflection in his coffee. A blade that cuts too well
13:17
Speaker 1: will either be avoided or used till it breaks. Fuck.
13:21
Speaker 1: Either way, it won't end well. Greath's like, in the end,
13:24
Speaker 1: your fears came true, though. General Richard sighs and puts
13:28
Speaker 1: his cup down, and he's like, don't get too attached.
13:31
Speaker 1: Even if we ever so kindly took them in. They'll
13:34
Speaker 1: never forget the battlefield, probably true, GREATH says, I don't
13:38
Speaker 1: know about that. General Richard's like, hmm. Breath continues. There's
13:43
Speaker 1: still kids in their mid teens right now. They're not
13:46
Speaker 1: used to their new environment. It's all they can do
13:48
Speaker 1: to protect themselves. She looks really sadly at their faces
13:52
Speaker 1: on the roster. But someday they may get used to
13:55
Speaker 1: this type of country and long to have the things
13:57
Speaker 1: that were stolen from them. And even if they still
14:00
Speaker 1: to choose to live on the battlefield, it should be
14:03
Speaker 1: their decision to make. I'll wait until then. However many
14:06
Speaker 1: years it takes. General Richard's like, do you have a
14:09
Speaker 1: duty to go that far? GREATH says, of course, it's
14:14
Speaker 1: our responsibility for arrogantly trying to save our fellow humans
14:17
Speaker 1: the same way we would a drowning puppy. General Richard says,
14:20
Speaker 1: And do you think a bloody blade forged and honedwn
14:23
Speaker 1: the battlefields can understand human feelings? What? GREATH says, We've
14:28
Speaker 1: made the same bet before. Do you remember I won then?
14:32
Speaker 1: General Richards shrugs, and the Legion took all your winnings.
14:35
Speaker 1: Greath's like, yeah, she takes out a necklace that was
14:39
Speaker 1: like under her shirt, and she holds it up and
14:42
Speaker 1: she's looking at it. General Richard kind of like furrows
14:44
Speaker 1: his brow and clears his throat, and we see like
14:48
Speaker 1: what the necklace actually is now, and it is a
14:50
Speaker 1: dog tag for someone whose name starts with then and
14:53
Speaker 1: then I see GREATH, because it's like cut off. There's
14:56
Speaker 1: like tape over part of it, so I can't see
14:58
Speaker 1: the whole name. And also on the chain is a
15:02
Speaker 1: wedding ring. Ah, poor Greth. General Richard says, Greth, you
15:08
Speaker 1: simply see the dead in them, that's all. You see
15:11
Speaker 1: what you could never have back. Greth looks up at
15:14
Speaker 1: him and says, so what if I do? Oh? Yeah,
15:17
Speaker 1: so what? General Richard kind of like looks away, and
15:21
Speaker 1: GREATH continues, If you're that worried, then this will make
15:24
Speaker 1: things a little easier. Those slow transport helicopters aren't appropriate
15:29
Speaker 1: for my Reaganlyaf's big mission. We get a close up
15:32
Speaker 1: on our eyes. Give me permission to use it. General
15:35
Speaker 1: Richard kind of looks upset, and then he sighs and
15:38
Speaker 1: says it huh. We cut to lots of folks standing
15:43
Speaker 1: outside a hanger. I guess, I'm not sure is September thirteenth,
15:48
Speaker 1: so about ten days later in twenty one forty nine,
15:51
Speaker 1: And a big door kind of raises mechanically, and in
15:57
Speaker 1: the crowd is Spearhead and also Greth and some just
16:00
Speaker 1: random dude says, I never thought i'd see the day
16:03
Speaker 1: that they open the sealed door. That brown haired girl
16:05
Speaker 1: that we've seen before says, sometimes living a long time
16:08
Speaker 1: has its benefits. Theo's like the sealed door. Great says,
16:13
Speaker 1: that's what some call it. I mean it's a sealed door,
16:17
Speaker 1: so that sounds about right. Frederica says, if it's sealed,
16:21
Speaker 1: then it should be left that way. Okay. Greath's like,
16:26
Speaker 1: now let's go. Everybody starts to walk forward towards the door,
16:30
Speaker 1: and then we see them in an elevator clearly going down,
16:34
Speaker 1: and Andrew and THEO are like looking around confused, and
16:37
Speaker 1: Frederica says, what is this. It's it's an elevator. Gret's
16:43
Speaker 1: like an old Imperial Air Force hangar for a prototype.
16:46
Speaker 1: Frederica is not looking pressed right and says a prototype plane.
16:52
Speaker 1: Greath's like, that's right. It completed its test flights and
16:55
Speaker 1: was about to enter mass production when the war started
16:57
Speaker 1: and the base was temporarily abandoned to THEO says, this
17:01
Speaker 1: place is right next to the border. Theo's like, I
17:04
Speaker 1: guess the Legion took it over real quick, huh. The
17:06
Speaker 1: elevator lands in this massive, massive underground hangar and they're
17:11
Speaker 1: all walking out of the elevator and through it now,
17:14
Speaker 1: and it's like really really dark, and I think Breath
17:16
Speaker 1: has a flashlight, and Chin says, why is it underground?
17:21
Speaker 1: Breath's like a bunch of reasons. It's safer for bombing
17:24
Speaker 1: this way. She opens the cover like the door of
17:28
Speaker 1: a circuit breaker panel and continues it also means the
17:32
Speaker 1: Legion didn't take it. She flips on the breakers and
17:34
Speaker 1: the lights come on, and there is this large what
17:38
Speaker 1: I thought was a triangular ship thing, but I think
17:42
Speaker 1: it's just a bad shot, and a bunch of people
17:44
Speaker 1: like gasp because it's really big. And then we see
17:47
Speaker 1: what it is. It is like this. I don't know
17:50
Speaker 1: how to describe it. It's a plane. It almost to
17:53
Speaker 1: me looks like it's stingray shaped, like it's got a
17:55
Speaker 1: little head part, you know, front part in the middle,
17:58
Speaker 1: and then these big wings. But it's like multiple stories tall,
18:01
Speaker 1: like there's scaffolding up to like the main kind of
18:05
Speaker 1: cockpit area, and it looks like you have to go
18:07
Speaker 1: around lots and lots of stairs. So it's real, real
18:10
Speaker 1: big and gray. It's also gray anyway. Greth says, this
18:14
Speaker 1: is the XC one notch zer Notcher something like that.
18:19
Speaker 1: I don't know, a prototype ground effect vehicle. It's still
18:23
Speaker 1: sleeping right now though she winks cornas like it flies
18:28
Speaker 1: right and says ground defect vehicle. Greath continues, it's a
18:33
Speaker 1: plane that uses ground effect, which occurs when you stay
18:35
Speaker 1: right above the ground to fly, so like a hovercraft
18:39
Speaker 1: actually sort of, but not exactly. She continues. It can
18:43
Speaker 1: get you to the Morpho far faster than a transport helicopter.
18:47
Speaker 1: On you's like, I think I heard you say, like
18:51
Speaker 1: right above the ground, GREATH says, yeah, it only flies
18:54
Speaker 1: a few meters above the ground. Uh what on? You
18:59
Speaker 1: and some of the others start to look kind of
19:00
Speaker 1: freaked out about this, and GREATH says it flies lower
19:03
Speaker 1: than a cruise missile, making it hard for radar and
19:06
Speaker 1: anti aircraft missiles to locate. That's the power of the
19:09
Speaker 1: notch not sir, I don't know, Sorry, guys, Frederica is like,
19:17
Speaker 1: what an awful name. Deo's like, what Frederica continues. A
19:21
Speaker 1: Notch Server I don't know is an old vampire legend
19:27
Speaker 1: from the southeast part of the Federacy. It rises from
19:30
Speaker 1: the grave and wanders the graveyard while dragging a shadow
19:33
Speaker 1: behind it, and it rings the church bell. And there's
19:36
Speaker 1: like a poster or sticker of the Notch Server vampire
19:40
Speaker 1: like plastered on the Notch Server plane. So that's pretty
19:44
Speaker 1: cool anyway. THEO says, yeah, that is a nasty name. Wait,
19:49
Speaker 1: we'll run into buildings if we're just a few meters
19:51
Speaker 1: off the ground. Greath's like, the mission takes place in
19:55
Speaker 1: former Imperial territory. We have the geographic data. The Legion
19:59
Speaker 1: doesn't make homes, so we'll be fine, I hope, so right,
20:03
Speaker 1: And it's like, what about the Legion themselves? Greath says
20:08
Speaker 1: we'll avoid them. Of course you can do that, right,
20:10
Speaker 1: Lieutenant nosen Sen says, I can tell you where they are,
20:15
Speaker 1: but will it really work? Greath's like, this thing can't
20:18
Speaker 1: exactly turn on a dime, so we'll have problems if
20:21
Speaker 1: we get ambushed. But the Three Country Alliance will be
20:25
Speaker 1: handling most of the enemies, so we don't need to worry.
20:28
Speaker 1: Frederica's like, and then what if we do get to
20:32
Speaker 1: the morpho, can we win? And even if we do win,
20:36
Speaker 1: we'll be in the middle of enemy territory. How will
20:39
Speaker 1: we get back? She looks pretty pissed off, and everyone
20:42
Speaker 1: is just in silence because, yeah, we get a shot
20:46
Speaker 1: of on Ju theo. Karina and Ryding's like very knowing
20:49
Speaker 1: eyes as they know that this is a mission that
20:52
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to come back from. And then we
20:54
Speaker 1: see someone but I don't know who, make a fist
20:57
Speaker 1: with their hand in their pockets, and greath says, well,
21:01
Speaker 1: Shin cuts her off. It's more important to take out
21:04
Speaker 1: the Morpho than worry about how we get back. Frederica's like,
21:07
Speaker 1: but Shin says, are you going to ignore it? Frederica gasps.
21:12
Speaker 1: Shin continues, you don't need me to tell you what
21:15
Speaker 1: the result will be. Frederica kind of looks at the
21:18
Speaker 1: ground and righton says that said. You seem to take
21:21
Speaker 1: it for granted that this thing flies. But Corna butts in,
21:26
Speaker 1: who's gonna pilot it? Greath's like, huh, who else Corina
21:32
Speaker 1: looks confused, and she points to herself like like me,
21:35
Speaker 1: Greath points to the gold winged pin like on her
21:39
Speaker 1: jacket and it like shines like sparkles, and she's like me.
21:43
Speaker 1: No one says anything, and so then she's like, what
21:46
Speaker 1: do you think? THEO says, this isn't the time for jokes, right,
21:50
Speaker 1: and it's like, who's really gonna do it? Breath says me,
21:54
Speaker 1: as I said, there's like laughing now amongst everyone. It chattered,
21:58
Speaker 1: but Frederica is stamp gripping her uniform tightly, and Greth
22:03
Speaker 1: says it's really me, and we hear people saying, like,
22:05
Speaker 1: you're joking, that's ridiculous. Well, Frederica looks progressively more upsets,
22:10
Speaker 1: and Greath once again says it's really me. We see
22:14
Speaker 1: Frederica put her head down, and then we transition to
22:17
Speaker 1: a shot of her head down on that horrible fucking
22:19
Speaker 1: bear in a dark room. There's a knock on the door.
22:22
Speaker 1: It's October seventh, twenty one forty nine. We see that
22:26
Speaker 1: she's sitting on her bed with her knees up like
22:29
Speaker 1: at her chest and her head on that gross, scary
22:32
Speaker 1: bear and she doesn't move at all. When she hears
22:35
Speaker 1: the knox, and then we hear another set of knocks.
22:38
Speaker 1: She finally says, come in. The door opens and its Shin,
22:42
Speaker 1: and he just kind of stands in the doorway, and
22:44
Speaker 1: he says, Frederica. Frederica's like, I'm not leaving. Shin's quiet
22:49
Speaker 1: for a second, and then he says, I came because
22:51
Speaker 1: I heard you were throwing a tantrum about not leaving. Frederica,
22:54
Speaker 1: whose head is still buried in the bear abomination, says,
22:58
Speaker 1: it's not a tantrum. I'm a member of Northlich two.
23:02
Speaker 1: Why do I have to be the only one to leave?
23:04
Speaker 1: Probably because you're ten. It wouldn't be allowed anyway. You
23:08
Speaker 1: haven't forgotten what I said about mascots being hostages, right?
23:12
Speaker 1: Fuck she knows too. Shin's like an exception would be
23:15
Speaker 1: made for the president's daughter. Frederica kind of gasps and says,
23:20
Speaker 1: but why are you suddenly saying this. You're the one
23:23
Speaker 1: that said that no one else has the right to
23:25
Speaker 1: decide how you live. Shin's like, I also said it's
23:29
Speaker 1: best not to get involved in someone's death if you
23:31
Speaker 1: don't have to. Fuck. Frederica, who had slightly raised her
23:35
Speaker 1: head buries it back in the bear. Shin continues and
23:40
Speaker 1: the door shuts. Frederica looks up and Shin is still there,
23:43
Speaker 1: but inside the room now but basically at the door,
23:46
Speaker 1: and he continues, I remember its voice. I don't need
23:49
Speaker 1: you to show me. Frederica scowls, and she stands on
23:52
Speaker 1: the bed and she's like, it should be the other
23:54
Speaker 1: way around. I'm the one with the relationship to Curtia.
23:57
Speaker 1: You should be the ones to go home. I'll talk
23:59
Speaker 1: to you. Managed to survive those awful battles in the
24:02
Speaker 1: eighty sixth district. You can't die in a plan like this.
24:05
Speaker 1: I'll handle this. Shin's like, you can see your Night,
24:09
Speaker 1: but not the other legion in your head. You and
24:12
Speaker 1: everyone else will die. Frederica's like, but Shin is now
24:17
Speaker 1: like walking over to her, and he looks kind of disgusted,
24:20
Speaker 1: and we have this kind of weird Dutch angle going on,
24:23
Speaker 1: and he continues, why are you so insistent on sending
24:26
Speaker 1: us back to the rear? Frederica gasps. Shin, who is
24:30
Speaker 1: standing over her now, says, didn't you want us to
24:33
Speaker 1: kill your Night? Or maybe you don't really want him
24:36
Speaker 1: dead at all? Jeez, Frederica looks terrified, and she's kind
24:40
Speaker 1: of sweating, and she looks away and shakes her head no,
24:43
Speaker 1: and Shin says, then go home and forget it. He
24:47
Speaker 1: turns to leave. You don't want to end up like me, right,
24:49
Speaker 1: Frederica gasps, and what about you? Whom do you think
24:54
Speaker 1: you're talking to? She throws the bear at him, and
24:57
Speaker 1: it hits him in the shoulder, but like bounces off,
24:59
Speaker 1: and then it hits the I switch like turning them on,
25:02
Speaker 1: and we see the room now very clearly, and there
25:05
Speaker 1: are so many of her drawings on the wall, like
25:08
Speaker 1: her little crayon and pencil drawings, and it's like all
25:12
Speaker 1: her together with Spearhead and Katy. Yeah, she doesn't want
25:16
Speaker 1: you to die. Shin is standing like right at the
25:19
Speaker 1: door now facing it, and Frederica continues, You followed your
25:23
Speaker 1: own brother onto the battlefield and slew his ghost. Why
25:26
Speaker 1: are you telling me that I can't chase my own ghosts?
25:29
Speaker 1: Why are you telling me I can't achieve my goal?
25:32
Speaker 1: You realize on some level that having no goal, no
25:34
Speaker 1: place to call home, clinging only the pride to keep
25:36
Speaker 1: you alive is what made that pathetic ghost what he
25:39
Speaker 1: is Shin looks over at the drawing that Frederica did
25:44
Speaker 1: of herself, Shin, and Katy. Then we kind of focus
25:47
Speaker 1: in on Kitty, but then it fades back into Shin.
25:51
Speaker 1: Frederica continues, do you want to end up the same way?
25:55
Speaker 1: It's it's too late, Fredrika. Shin says, I'm not your knights.
26:00
Speaker 1: Frederica gasps. Shin continues, You're free to see me in
26:04
Speaker 1: him if you like. Frederica scowls. Shin says, but I
26:09
Speaker 1: don't want to be forced to join in your regret,
26:11
Speaker 1: and atonements. Frederica's like, you don't understand I'm telling you
26:15
Speaker 1: not to go. Why don't you obey me? You impuede
26:18
Speaker 1: in fool. She's kind of like stamping around. Now you
26:22
Speaker 1: regret not telling your brother not to go, right, you
26:24
Speaker 1: still regret that he went to his death without you
26:26
Speaker 1: saying anything. Shin's eye twitches. Frederica continues, so, why are
26:31
Speaker 1: you trying to do the same thing he did? Shin
26:34
Speaker 1: looks away. His hand is still on the door handle,
26:37
Speaker 1: and Frederica continues, why are you trying to make me
26:40
Speaker 1: suffer as your brother made you suffer? Okay, it's not
26:43
Speaker 1: the same thing. There's a pause. Shin turns back and
26:47
Speaker 1: sees that Frederica has tears streaming down her face and says, Frederica.
26:52
Speaker 1: Frederica is like, don't go Shine. She walks towards him.
26:58
Speaker 1: I don't want you to die like Katy. She puts
27:00
Speaker 1: her hands like around his arm, the one that's on
27:03
Speaker 1: the door handle, like to try to pull it off.
27:06
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want any more people to die.
27:10
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose another big brother. She kind
27:13
Speaker 1: of rubs her head into Shin's back. We see Shin
27:15
Speaker 1: in the drawing and then back to real Shin looking
27:18
Speaker 1: super fucking stoic. Frederica finally just kind of begins to
27:22
Speaker 1: release his arm, and then we see the title card.
27:25
Speaker 1: The truth is, so, I guess do you want to
27:29
Speaker 1: talk about that now or not? Let's talk about it
27:33
Speaker 1: right now, because we just finished it and we went
27:35
Speaker 1: to the title card. So yeah, I mean, it's it's
27:40
Speaker 1: pretty obvious that Frederica just doesn't want them to die
27:43
Speaker 1: and is very afraid that that's what's gonna happen, because
27:46
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like that's what's gonna happen. She
27:48
Speaker 1: still has this thing where she's comparing Shin to Kitty
27:51
Speaker 1: in a way that doesn't make sense, but she's like
27:53
Speaker 1: missing the way that they're actually similar, which is that
27:56
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any goal, he doesn't have a real
27:58
Speaker 1: home anymore, and the only thing he really has his pride.
28:01
Speaker 1: He's just like a shell of himself. So yeah, Shin
28:06
Speaker 1: is already there, way there, But I don't think that's
28:09
Speaker 1: gonna make him a horrible, scary monster or something. And honestly,
28:13
Speaker 1: it's got to be hard for him to have to
28:16
Speaker 1: not tell her that she can't go because she shouldn't go,
28:19
Speaker 1: because she's gonna fucking die if she goes, because she's ten,
28:22
Speaker 1: But have to deal with her trying to stop him
28:26
Speaker 1: so much when he knows he's the only person who
28:30
Speaker 1: can do this, like he has to do it, even
28:32
Speaker 1: if he's gonna hurt her by dying. He's got to
28:36
Speaker 1: do it, like there's not a choice. That's kind of
28:40
Speaker 1: not fair to put that on him, like there is one.
28:42
Speaker 1: But she's ten, and she is so so attached to
28:46
Speaker 1: him and the rest of Spearhead, So I get it,
28:49
Speaker 1: because she doesn't have anything either, she doesn't have a
28:52
Speaker 1: real home or a real goal, looks up to kill
28:54
Speaker 1: her knight. So maybe she does, but she's lost so
28:57
Speaker 1: much it would be sad if she had to lose anymore.
29:02
Speaker 1: Oh well, anyway, back to what's going on. We see
29:06
Speaker 1: some rigging leaves backing up into like a hatch place
29:09
Speaker 1: in a notchi her or wherever that's pronounced. And it
29:12
Speaker 1: is October ninth, twenty one, forty nine, or just two
29:14
Speaker 1: days later. There are a lot of rigging leaves on
29:17
Speaker 1: a truck two and Spearhead is like watching them go
29:20
Speaker 1: in the big plane thing I want to say the
29:22
Speaker 1: name of again, And Fido was there behind them, and
29:26
Speaker 1: Augie says, I'm amazed that Frederica agreed not to go.
29:29
Speaker 1: Karina is like, I don't think she agreed. THEO says
29:34
Speaker 1: she's locked up in her room. She's not even coming
29:36
Speaker 1: to see us off. It's a lot of exposition, guys right,
29:39
Speaker 1: and says she's the only one getting left behind. That's
29:43
Speaker 1: enough reason to be grumpy. Sen says, if she's not
29:46
Speaker 1: going to the rear, it doesn't matter where she is.
29:49
Speaker 1: They all sigh, and a voice says everybody. They all
29:53
Speaker 1: look over and it's that brown haired girl. She's waving
29:55
Speaker 1: and She's like, get on board, right, and says let's go.
29:59
Speaker 1: They all start to wor away except for Shin, and
30:02
Speaker 1: we hear Anju say yeah, and THEO like yawns and
30:06
Speaker 1: he's like, okay, that's pretty much what he did. And
30:11
Speaker 1: Karina is like, you're sleepy. THEO says, normally i'd be
30:14
Speaker 1: asleep at this hour. Anji says, sleep on the plane.
30:19
Speaker 1: Theo's like, I can't sleep on planes. Shin looks over
30:23
Speaker 1: at Fido and he's like, let's go. Fido beeps and
30:27
Speaker 1: nods and they start to head over. We see some
30:29
Speaker 1: folks like standing around a thing that I don't really
30:31
Speaker 1: know what it was, had like wrapped parts and it
30:33
Speaker 1: kind of looked like an anchor, but I don't know.
30:35
Speaker 1: I think it's a weapon, but I don't really know,
30:37
Speaker 1: like I just said, and a guy says good luck.
30:41
Speaker 1: The brown haired girl's like, I hope it doesn't get used. Yeah,
30:44
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Next, there's a bunch
30:47
Speaker 1: of raging leaps in like a red lit place, which
30:49
Speaker 1: is I guess inside the plane thing, and we hear
30:54
Speaker 1: this like really weird digital noise, and we hear Greth
30:57
Speaker 1: say everyone's trapped. In next, there's a that's counting down
31:01
Speaker 1: to like the mission start time, so it's at like
31:04
Speaker 1: thirty minutes, thirty six seconds and the eighty six milliseconds
31:07
Speaker 1: and going down. Some guys are like, yes, ma'am, we
31:11
Speaker 1: hear Shinn say you were telling the truth about being
31:13
Speaker 1: a pilot. Huh. Greth, who is sitting in the front
31:16
Speaker 1: of the plane getting things ready and hitting some buttons,
31:19
Speaker 1: is like, we don't have another choice. Most of the
31:22
Speaker 1: old Air Forces pilots died in combat. I'm the only
31:26
Speaker 1: one who ever flew with during the test flights. Shin's
31:28
Speaker 1: like you mentioned being a former Air Force pilot. Greth's like,
31:33
Speaker 1: you sound as though you totally forgot till now. Lieutenant,
31:36
Speaker 1: I'm sure you forgot this too. Then her face falls.
31:40
Speaker 1: We see Shin in his cockpit. Now, Greath continues, I'm
31:43
Speaker 1: opposed to kids like you going out to fight T
31:46
Speaker 1: eighty six, fighting to the end. Here is your source
31:48
Speaker 1: of pride, your identity. We see the rest of Spearhead
31:51
Speaker 1: in their cockpits, looking pretty solemn. Greath continues, But I'm
31:55
Speaker 1: not giving up on this either. If you're going to
31:57
Speaker 1: fight to the end, it's my job to fight alongside
31:59
Speaker 1: you as well. This country you finally reached is far
32:02
Speaker 1: from a utopia. Shin looks up and realizes that some
32:05
Speaker 1: of the crew that is not going on the big
32:06
Speaker 1: plane is waving at them and holding up a big
32:10
Speaker 1: Federacy flag, which is green. If I haven't told you,
32:13
Speaker 1: greath continues, but remember this, the big hatch door kind
32:17
Speaker 1: of starts to close. Not a single person in this
32:19
Speaker 1: country wants you to die in battle, eh. One of them,
32:23
Speaker 1: as the door's closing, gives them a thumbs up. Greath continues,
32:27
Speaker 1: We want you to stay alive. That goes for me,
32:30
Speaker 1: the division commander, and the rest of the unit. Someone
32:33
Speaker 1: kind of buzzes into Shins come and we hear a
32:35
Speaker 1: voice say, and me too. Ernest pops onto Shin's screen.
32:40
Speaker 1: He's like sitting at his desk and he says, hey,
32:43
Speaker 1: it's been a while. How were you doing right? And
32:45
Speaker 1: it's like, huh, what are you doing? Ernest stands I'm
32:49
Speaker 1: here to cheer you on. Of course, I'm the highest
32:51
Speaker 1: ranking officer in the Federacy Army. After all, the Federacy's people,
32:55
Speaker 1: It's territory and its neighbors are all in danger. I
32:57
Speaker 1: have to do at least this much. I actually, since
33:00
Speaker 1: you're the core of the mission. Yes, we see the
33:04
Speaker 1: planes start to move forward and people are kind of
33:06
Speaker 1: directing it out, and then we hear Ernest say, Nordlich's
33:10
Speaker 1: success in this mission will determine the fate of the Federacy,
33:14
Speaker 1: the surrounding countries and humanity. Keep that in mind, and
33:18
Speaker 1: make sure you destroy the morpho. The kind of hanger
33:21
Speaker 1: door opens and reveals a dark runway ahead of them,
33:25
Speaker 1: lit by like yellow lights on either side. Ernest continues,
33:28
Speaker 1: we know you can do it. Shin very blankly says Roger.
33:32
Speaker 1: Ernst is like, and one more thing, this is your
33:35
Speaker 1: highest priority mission. They all kind of like look up
33:39
Speaker 1: to hear what the highest priority mission is, and ern says,
33:42
Speaker 1: come back alive, all of you. Huh. They don't look
33:48
Speaker 1: happy about this, Like they have a couple of options
33:52
Speaker 1: and one of them is lying and saying sure, and
33:54
Speaker 1: they don't want to do that. And Are says we'll
33:57
Speaker 1: do our best, but Curring is like, right, THEO says
34:01
Speaker 1: we can't promise. We hear Ernest say that's not good enough.
34:05
Speaker 1: Geez dude, you need to come back no matter what.
34:10
Speaker 1: The doors are closing now behind the plane, and Ernst continues,
34:14
Speaker 1: you're fighting to the end, right, so you need to
34:17
Speaker 1: survive to the end of the war, so come back
34:20
Speaker 1: no matter what. They all just kind of stare at
34:22
Speaker 1: him and shin nods very slightly. The doors are now
34:26
Speaker 1: closed completely, and Ernst turns off his calm and says
34:30
Speaker 1: to himself, that's right, come back no matter what. He
34:34
Speaker 1: starts to walk to the door or At this point,
34:38
Speaker 1: the screen gets like super bright, like blinding bluish light
34:41
Speaker 1: kind of like pours in from the windows. Absolutely supposed
34:45
Speaker 1: to be artistic and not really happening. I'll destroy the world, fuck,
34:51
Speaker 1: Ernst is going to destroy the world if they die. Yay.
34:55
Speaker 1: We go to a bunch of feld ReBs or whatever
34:57
Speaker 1: they are, and there's like some guys also out fields
35:00
Speaker 1: behind like a trench and stuff like they would be,
35:03
Speaker 1: and then some tank things and we see that timer again.
35:06
Speaker 1: It is t minus five minutes, one second and fifty
35:11
Speaker 1: milliseconds left until the mission starts. We hear a guy say,
35:15
Speaker 1: mister President. Ernst is sitting in front of a large
35:18
Speaker 1: map that has like all the little positions and little
35:21
Speaker 1: icons on the screen, and he's in a pretty dark room,
35:23
Speaker 1: and he says yes and stands let's get started. He
35:28
Speaker 1: is like in front of these two microphones and he says, attention, comrades.
35:32
Speaker 1: We see now that they're in like a really big
35:34
Speaker 1: command room. And Ernth continues, the Western theater forces will
35:38
Speaker 1: begin an all out march into Legion held territory. This
35:41
Speaker 1: battle will not only determine the fate of the Federal
35:43
Speaker 1: Republic of giod. We see those other two leaders on
35:46
Speaker 1: screens near the countdown, but also those of the United
35:49
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Roo, Gracia, the Alliance of Wald, and the
35:52
Speaker 1: other nations whose cries for help we haven't even heard yet.
35:55
Speaker 1: Some of the field rep like kind of stand up
35:57
Speaker 1: outside now. Ernst continues, this is the greatest operation in
36:01
Speaker 1: the history of humankind. I don't know about that, but
36:05
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. You are the mighty shield that
36:07
Speaker 1: defends your homeland and a sharp sword that cuts open
36:10
Speaker 1: the future for humanity. We see the flag flapping in
36:14
Speaker 1: the breeze. We will be the symbol of justice for
36:16
Speaker 1: the world. Keep our successful battles close to your heart,
36:19
Speaker 1: and advance bravely, valiantly. And everyone's like, yeah, we watched
36:24
Speaker 1: the seconds tick down on the little timer thing from
36:27
Speaker 1: fourteen to ten, and then we see that black haired
36:30
Speaker 1: guy standing who I still don't know his name, and
36:32
Speaker 1: then go to General Richards who is in a different
36:34
Speaker 1: control room sitting with his hands folded over his mouth,
36:38
Speaker 1: and then to the line of guys with like army
36:41
Speaker 1: helmets on waiting to go, then a close up of
36:43
Speaker 1: one of their eyes and a close up of someone's
36:46
Speaker 1: hand holding a rifle. The clock beeps, and then it
36:49
Speaker 1: starts counting up as the mission has started, and Ern says,
36:53
Speaker 1: begin the mission. We see multiple people yelling fire and
36:58
Speaker 1: then lots of like different things start firing, like mortars
37:01
Speaker 1: and other things that I don't know what they're called.
37:03
Speaker 1: And then we go to like a field or a
37:05
Speaker 1: place where there's like lots of legions sitting around and
37:08
Speaker 1: there's like a whistling sound of a bomb being dropped,
37:10
Speaker 1: and a legion like stands up to figure out what's
37:13
Speaker 1: going on, and a bomb just like fucking hits one
37:15
Speaker 1: of them. It looks like maybe a bunch of bombs hit,
37:17
Speaker 1: but we kind of had panned back, so I'm not sure.
37:20
Speaker 1: But now like the non hurt legion like start to move,
37:23
Speaker 1: and a guy in a Feldrb is like, let's go
37:25
Speaker 1: in advance. So the fell Drebs start to advance as
37:29
Speaker 1: they should. Ernst and the other people are watching solemnly
37:32
Speaker 1: from the command center and Greth like kind of blows
37:36
Speaker 1: on her hands, and this guy says, flywheels one and
37:39
Speaker 1: two active temporary transformer operating normally. General Richard is looking on.
37:44
Speaker 1: The guy continues initiating cooling catapult rails coolant units operating
37:48
Speaker 1: at twenty three percent rising. Greth is like opening canopy,
37:52
Speaker 1: deploying catapult rails. A big thing comes out of the ground,
37:58
Speaker 1: like a runway like pops up out of the ground
38:00
Speaker 1: or something. And the guy's like, all joints locked and deployed.
38:04
Speaker 1: Not sure we're ready for takeoff. We go back to
38:07
Speaker 1: those guys like shooting cannons and stuff, and there's a
38:10
Speaker 1: guy there with binoculars and he gasps because in his
38:14
Speaker 1: like maybe night vision binoculars. I don't know what they are.
38:16
Speaker 1: He sees lots of shiny legion coming. I feel like
38:19
Speaker 1: he would see them normally because they have lights on.
38:21
Speaker 1: But whatever. Anyway, he says, I've been waiting for this year.
38:25
Speaker 1: Pieces a scrap. He's like sweating though. Then we see
38:28
Speaker 1: that map with like all the little icons on it,
38:30
Speaker 1: and the legions suddenly start to spread out, and everyone
38:34
Speaker 1: in the control room gasps, and that commander guy who
38:37
Speaker 1: kind of wants Spearhead to die says they're on the move.
38:40
Speaker 1: The dark haired guy puts his hand on like some
38:43
Speaker 1: brown haired guy's shoulder next to him and nods, and
38:45
Speaker 1: the brown haired guy says, Phase one complete. We've succeeded
38:49
Speaker 1: in luring the Legion vanguard out of its position. We
38:51
Speaker 1: will now move on to phase two. We cut to
38:54
Speaker 1: General Richard's control room and we hear the guy continue
38:57
Speaker 1: to say ty's HQ to la wor HQ not surer
39:01
Speaker 1: you're cleared to take off? Some guys like Roger Greth
39:04
Speaker 1: says okay, here we go, like the thrusters come on
39:08
Speaker 1: on the notcherer and a guy says, not sure, take
39:11
Speaker 1: off the lights on the runway thingy go from red
39:16
Speaker 1: to green and they just blast forward. Shin grits his
39:20
Speaker 1: teeth and they like come out of the tunnel and
39:23
Speaker 1: they take off, but very very low. Andju is bracing
39:28
Speaker 1: herself when she's like, this is a lot scarier than
39:30
Speaker 1: I thought. THEO says, is the person that came up
39:34
Speaker 1: with this crazy The plane is moaning like it can
39:37
Speaker 1: barely handle the speed that it's going, and Greth says, oh,
39:42
Speaker 1: it's an honor to have you say that. Oh shit,
39:44
Speaker 1: it was her. I thought nothing scared you. It's a
39:47
Speaker 1: little over one thousand kilometers to our goal. That's six
39:50
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one point three seven one miles. By
39:52
Speaker 1: the way, enjoy our nine minutes or so in the sky.
39:55
Speaker 1: Oh shit, it's really fast. That's like if it was
39:59
Speaker 1: ten minutes, it would be one hundred kilometers an hour. Okay,
40:04
Speaker 1: I think that's really fast. At least. We see that
40:07
Speaker 1: screen again, and at this point the ending theme starts up,
40:10
Speaker 1: but we don't get the ending animation type stuff, and
40:12
Speaker 1: it always says not sure it has taken off successfully,
40:15
Speaker 1: is proceeding as planned. I'm supposed to know which one
40:17
Speaker 1: they are in the little symbols on the map, but
40:19
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out. We see Ernst Clench's fists
40:23
Speaker 1: now to the legion that are firing constantly. We hear
40:26
Speaker 1: a voice say Unit four signal lost, and another one go,
40:31
Speaker 1: we've lost contact with the second company completely. The third
40:34
Speaker 1: one stay calm Unit one. You nit two keep going forward,
40:38
Speaker 1: and a fourth one infantry after us, and another one
40:41
Speaker 1: say retreat, and a sixth one say damn it. And
40:45
Speaker 1: then they're just static. We were seeing all that from
40:48
Speaker 1: the distance, by the way, like the plane is going
40:51
Speaker 1: like forward, kind of on the horizon. And then there's
40:53
Speaker 1: a firefight over to the right, so we're not really
40:56
Speaker 1: seeing what's happening. And then a voice that I'm not
40:58
Speaker 1: sure is in the action and might be at a
41:00
Speaker 1: command center says, give me a damage report. The battle's
41:03
Speaker 1: not over. If you have something you want to protect,
41:05
Speaker 1: then fight. We see the ring leaves inside the plane.
41:08
Speaker 1: The voice continues, raise your heads and go forward. Right,
41:11
Speaker 1: It's like the Federacy isn't retreating. We see theo and
41:17
Speaker 1: the voice continues, just a little more, just hang in
41:20
Speaker 1: there a little more. We see AJUW and the voice continues,
41:24
Speaker 1: and then those goddamn disgust the eighty six sol Onju
41:28
Speaker 1: closes her eyes. Then we'll win. The line cuts the
41:32
Speaker 1: static and Karina is like, yeah, if we take out
41:36
Speaker 1: the morpho, we win. Right. We see that Chin's eyes
41:39
Speaker 1: are closed and right and says we have to live
41:42
Speaker 1: up to their expectations. Theo's like, yeah, if they're working hard,
41:46
Speaker 1: an she says, yeah, there's kind of maybe laughter And
41:50
Speaker 1: I wasn't really sure what was going on here, but
41:52
Speaker 1: then Shin's eyes open and he sees the Legion symbols
41:55
Speaker 1: approaching on his screen, and there's a lot of them,
41:58
Speaker 1: and a bunch of like garbled, fucked up voices fade
42:02
Speaker 1: in because it's Shin, remember, so I guess the laughing
42:04
Speaker 1: was part of that. Then we just cut to his
42:07
Speaker 1: mouth as he smiles. The ending theme is basically done
42:12
Speaker 1: now and we finally get like an ending theme shot
42:14
Speaker 1: and it's his smiling mouth that's in blue now, and
42:20
Speaker 1: then the next episode title card special edition if there's
42:23
Speaker 1: something worth dying for, and that's it. So closing thoughts again,
42:28
Speaker 1: we will not be doing the special edition. It's like
42:30
Speaker 1: episode eighteen point five or something. No, it's a recap
42:34
Speaker 1: episode and we should probably talk about what's going on
42:38
Speaker 1: and why there's all these special episodes. Yeah, the production
42:41
Speaker 1: was not in good shape at this point. They were rushing,
42:44
Speaker 1: just trying to keep up with things and they couldn't,
42:47
Speaker 1: so lots and lots of recaps and so, yeah, if
42:50
Speaker 1: you're watching a show and they just start doing recap episodes.
42:53
Speaker 1: Something's probably wrong, So that's what's going on. They are
42:57
Speaker 1: fighting to continue to put out a good quality show,
43:00
Speaker 1: but it's they're just struggling, just like Spearhead. No, not
43:03
Speaker 1: at all, actually, but you know, sort of not at all.
43:07
Speaker 1: So anyway, the episode, Yeah, we already talked about a
43:11
Speaker 1: lot of things I wanted to talk about, So I
43:14
Speaker 1: guess they're going into Legion territory on the big flying craft,
43:18
Speaker 1: which is a ground effect vehicle. They really do exist,
43:23
Speaker 1: and this particular model is a reverse delta wing one,
43:26
Speaker 1: which is why to me it looks like a sting
43:28
Speaker 1: ray of some sort. But they're really good because they
43:32
Speaker 1: have great fuel efficiency, like better than ular flying things
43:35
Speaker 1: because of the ground effect, and they're really really fast
43:38
Speaker 1: but they are flying basically almost on the ground, so
43:42
Speaker 1: they can hit into things. Yeah, so they're really good
43:45
Speaker 1: for like water and not so great for land. So
43:50
Speaker 1: they're real and they really do go very fast. So
43:53
Speaker 1: there you go. So they're flying in they're really fast
43:56
Speaker 1: ground effect vehicle with the name that I don't even
43:58
Speaker 1: want to try to pronounce again, and hopefully things are
44:01
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, but it doesn't sound like things are
44:04
Speaker 1: going okay for the Federacy, not for their army. That
44:07
Speaker 1: is the non Nordlich part of it. So there's just
44:11
Speaker 1: a couple of things I wanted to bring up. One
44:13
Speaker 1: of them is kind of a continuation of talking about
44:16
Speaker 1: how everybody really hates them, and I was going to
44:19
Speaker 1: say that I think it's overblown that I don't think
44:21
Speaker 1: they've done enough to warrant that, kind of like I
44:24
Speaker 1: did earlier. But that's kind of how people are, right.
44:27
Speaker 1: People just hate people for no good reason, especially people
44:30
Speaker 1: that aren't like them, cause it's I don't know, Well,
44:34
Speaker 1: for one, people are kind of tribal and we used
44:37
Speaker 1: to live in very small groups, so we're suspicious of outsiders.
44:40
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know if there was a two,
44:43
Speaker 1: it's not good. But yeah, I'll believe it. I'll believe
44:48
Speaker 1: that these five kids who've literally done nothing wrong have
44:51
Speaker 1: come into this other country and been demonized. Sounds like
44:55
Speaker 1: a thing. And I mean when they were in their
44:57
Speaker 1: own country, they were also demonized, and they had also
45:00
Speaker 1: done literally nothing except die for their government. So yeah, yeah,
45:06
Speaker 1: that's all what. It actually makes sense that they would
45:08
Speaker 1: dehumanize them because people suck and that's really what we've
45:13
Speaker 1: proved in the show is that people really fucking suck. However,
45:17
Speaker 1: that being said, Ernest is really fucking cool. And I
45:22
Speaker 1: don't know how you felt about him earlier, but when
45:25
Speaker 1: I first watched the beginning of the second cores, when
45:28
Speaker 1: he showed up and he was like, hey, live in
45:31
Speaker 1: my house, and shit, I was really afraid that he
45:33
Speaker 1: was going to be like a villain and that he
45:36
Speaker 1: was not going to have their best interest at heart,
45:38
Speaker 1: because he just seemed too nice. But it turns out
45:41
Speaker 1: he really is just very nice and very idealist, and
45:45
Speaker 1: he wants everybody to be happy and everybody to live
45:49
Speaker 1: in this society that cares about and values them. And
45:53
Speaker 1: he sounds like he's willing to just bring everything fucking
45:56
Speaker 1: down if it can't be that way. So I like him.
45:59
Speaker 1: I like him a lot. He's probably one of my
46:02
Speaker 1: favorite characters in eighty six actually, So yeah, that's pretty
46:07
Speaker 1: much all I've got with this one. We kind of
46:09
Speaker 1: talked about everything else, So that's that's gonna be it
46:13
Speaker 1: for me. And I'm gonna see you next week unless
46:17
Speaker 1: something really bad happens, And maybe you'll watch some of
46:21
Speaker 1: the other shows that are new now, and you could
46:24
Speaker 1: let me know what you think about them, or you
46:26
Speaker 1: could not, or you could not even watch them because
46:29
Speaker 1: you don't have to. It's your life and you can
46:32
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. You don't even have to listen
46:34
Speaker 1: to this. It would make me a little bit sad,
46:36
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't even know, so it's fine, Fye forever. No,
46:40
Speaker 1: Please don't go unless you really want to, and I
46:43
Speaker 1: would understand anyway. Enough of that, who knows what that is.
46:49
Speaker 1: I hope you have a really good whatever. Yeah later weeps.
