86 [Eighty-Six] Ep.10- Here We Go · Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

0:00
Speaker 1: Hey, it's your person, Michelle. Yep, that's the thing that
0:05
Speaker 1: I am maybe, And I'm not super happy because my
0:09
Speaker 1: next door neighbor just cut down all of the trees
0:12
Speaker 1: between our properties. Sure they were weed trees, but there
0:17
Speaker 1: used to be wheel trees there and they cut them
0:19
Speaker 1: down and then they let the weed trees grow. So
0:21
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, at least we have some trees now.
0:24
Speaker 1: So they just cut those down too, and some of
0:27
Speaker 1: them were on my property and they had to come
0:30
Speaker 1: onto my property to cut them down. And I didn't
0:33
Speaker 1: realize this was happening until just now, so it's too
0:36
Speaker 1: late to save them. And they were mulberry trees, which
0:40
Speaker 1: are invasive, but they had berries on them and I
0:44
Speaker 1: was gonna eat the berries so I didn't starve. And
0:47
Speaker 1: now I'm going to die. Okay, so not really, but
0:51
Speaker 1: it would have saved me a couple of dollars. And
0:54
Speaker 1: I'm just really sad about it. I'm sorry, you know,
0:57
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. I just like trees. I
1:00
Speaker 1: think they're cool, and the birds really liked them too,
1:03
Speaker 1: and now they're homeless or whatever. I don't know who
1:06
Speaker 1: the fuck cares anyway. There are a couple of things
1:09
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you about today before we actually start.
1:12
Speaker 1: One of them is that I just wanted to give
1:14
Speaker 1: you an update on stuff that I'm watching this season,
1:17
Speaker 1: because why the hell not. I'm still watching Lazarus, which
1:21
Speaker 1: is that show where like they're trying to find that
1:24
Speaker 1: scientist and if they don't find them in thirty days,
1:27
Speaker 1: people are gonna start dying because they took a drug
1:30
Speaker 1: that was a pain reliever and it kills people or whatever.
1:36
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's not good. I am not enjoying it,
1:40
Speaker 1: and I'm seven episodes in and I don't know what
1:44
Speaker 1: the point's gonna be, and it's really heavy handed. And
1:46
Speaker 1: they started talking about how much better the world would
1:49
Speaker 1: be without humans and stuff, but just in a way
1:51
Speaker 1: that's like, come on, guys, this is the message. I'm sorry.
1:54
Speaker 1: I know humanity is the problem. It's not new, it's
1:58
Speaker 1: not interesting. I don't know. See, I'm just really angry
2:02
Speaker 1: about the trees, I guess. But on a better note,
2:05
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you that I recently started watching
2:07
Speaker 1: kulan generic romance, which I had avoided watching because all
2:12
Speaker 1: of those words made me concerned. Ay, it sounded like
2:15
Speaker 1: it was probably an adaptation of some sort of Korean romance,
2:20
Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with, you know, web comics. I
2:22
Speaker 1: read a lot of Korean web comics, but I just
2:25
Speaker 1: don't love them character wise, and every time I see
2:28
Speaker 1: them turn into an anime, I'm really disappointed. So I
2:30
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want that. I also don't really
2:32
Speaker 1: want a romance, and I certainly don't want a generic one.
2:35
Speaker 1: It makes me think that maybe it's a comedy, you know,
2:38
Speaker 1: like a boringy, high schoolish comedy about romance. It's generic.
2:45
Speaker 1: But I was totally wrong, and that's why you shouldn't
2:48
Speaker 1: judge things by the name of them, because it's not Korean.
2:52
Speaker 1: It's set in China, but it's based on a sane
2:56
Speaker 1: in manga, so it's Japanese and it's not even remotely generic.
3:01
Speaker 1: I have no idea what's going on, and it's intentional,
3:04
Speaker 1: by the way. It's not like they just don't know
3:06
Speaker 1: how to craft a story. Are they dead? Does the
3:09
Speaker 1: city really exist? What's going on? I don't know, and
3:13
Speaker 1: I have no one to talk to about it, but
3:15
Speaker 1: I'm really enjoying it. I am one episode behind. There's
3:17
Speaker 1: currently seven episodes, so I'm in episode six, and of
3:21
Speaker 1: course it's possible episode seven was so terrible that you
3:24
Speaker 1: really shouldn't watch this, But if it wasn't, it's been
3:26
Speaker 1: really fun and really interesting and I don't want to
3:30
Speaker 1: tell you any more than that. But it's basically only
3:33
Speaker 1: slightly a romance and more a sci fi mystery. So
3:37
Speaker 1: if you're into it, check it out. I think it's
3:39
Speaker 1: on crunchy roll. It is, obviously because I know because
3:42
Speaker 1: I watched it there. But that's basically it. Everything else
3:45
Speaker 1: I'm watching is still fine, Windbreakers still fun, which either
3:50
Speaker 1: you like or you don't like, And uh yeah, I
3:53
Speaker 1: think we should probably just start talking about eighty six.
3:56
Speaker 1: So episode eleven of eighty six is called here we Go. Okay,
4:00
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. And this is the
4:02
Speaker 1: last episode in the first Core, so starting next week
4:06
Speaker 1: will be on the second Core, same season. But there
4:09
Speaker 1: was a space between these when they aired. If you
4:13
Speaker 1: remember from last week, and I feel like you probably
4:16
Speaker 1: should because it was so upsetting. Fucking Fido got like
4:19
Speaker 1: bombed and destroyed and it was terrible and I was
4:23
Speaker 1: really sad. So we start kind of around there. We
4:28
Speaker 1: hear the sounds of like mechanized things fighting in the background,
4:33
Speaker 1: and we fade into a shot of someone's eye, like
4:36
Speaker 1: a closeup of someone's eye, and it looks like it's
4:38
Speaker 1: made Korina, because I think the hair looks red, but
4:40
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. And a beam of light is like
4:43
Speaker 1: hitting the person's face and then the eye starts to open.
4:47
Speaker 1: It's October thirtieth, twenty one, forty eight, so that day
4:50
Speaker 1: that Fido died. And we hear THEO say it won't move,
4:54
Speaker 1: and Aju is like mine either. I'm getting out. The
4:57
Speaker 1: eyes are finally kind of like focusing and they've o
5:00
Speaker 1: and more now, and I can see that it is
5:02
Speaker 1: absolutely Karina. She is slumped over in her juggernaut and
5:05
Speaker 1: blood is running down her face from I guess her forehead,
5:08
Speaker 1: and we see, yes, there's one beam of light that's
5:11
Speaker 1: like hitting her from the outside, so maybe her cockpit
5:14
Speaker 1: is open slightly. We hear Shin say hide behind your juggernaut.
5:18
Speaker 1: They're still shooting right. In's like, Coraina, are you okay?
5:21
Speaker 1: I think she is okay obviously, because she's moving and stuff,
5:25
Speaker 1: but we see that her juggernaut is like not in
5:27
Speaker 1: good shape. We hear THEO say, if you can move,
5:30
Speaker 1: hide behind it. Karana is trying to pull herself out
5:33
Speaker 1: of the cockpit, and we hear right In say, damn,
5:36
Speaker 1: they got me? Is this the end? Karina looks up
5:39
Speaker 1: in gasps. There are just a ton of Legion walking
5:44
Speaker 1: right towards them, and Anju and Theo are like out
5:47
Speaker 1: of their juggernauts and hiding behind them, and right In
5:50
Speaker 1: is firing openly at them, like he's next to his juggernaut,
5:54
Speaker 1: but he's not totally hidden. Fucking it's a rifle ride
5:57
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna take them out. She is the
6:00
Speaker 1: only one who's actually still in his juggernaut, and he
6:02
Speaker 1: takes one of the Legion out, but like there's noth
6:04
Speaker 1: one behind him and he doesn't see it. In Karina
6:06
Speaker 1: is like Shin Shin, alerted by Krarina looks over just
6:10
Speaker 1: in time to see the Legions shoot at him, and
6:12
Speaker 1: Fido like jumps in front of the bullet and he
6:14
Speaker 1: fucking crashes to the ground and then like tries to
6:17
Speaker 1: get up but he can't. Shin gasps and his juggernaut
6:21
Speaker 1: jumps into the air and like it goes straight at
6:24
Speaker 1: the camera. I guess like we're the Legion in this scene,
6:27
Speaker 1: and then we know the opening theme yay, and this
6:30
Speaker 1: is the last time we'll see this particular opening. And
6:32
Speaker 1: normally i'd be sad because I tend to like the
6:35
Speaker 1: first opening's the best, but I actually like the second
6:38
Speaker 1: opening better, so I'm happy to see it go. But
6:41
Speaker 1: I'll also tell you that there are the same amount
6:44
Speaker 1: of people in the field of spider lilies, because obviously
6:47
Speaker 1: no one else has died since the last time we
6:49
Speaker 1: saw this. Okay, back from the opening, we are looking
6:53
Speaker 1: at a destroyed Legion. The sky is blue, and the
6:57
Speaker 1: Juggernauts are like you know, sitting out in this field.
7:00
Speaker 1: Shin is kneeling next to Fido with like his toolbox
7:03
Speaker 1: full of everyone's names. I was a little surprised to
7:07
Speaker 1: see here that Fido is not exploded like in the
7:10
Speaker 1: last episode we saw a bomb hit him, so I
7:13
Speaker 1: just assumed he would be in multiple parts. But he's
7:15
Speaker 1: still intact. But his like red light that's on all
7:19
Speaker 1: the time, that's like his I thing, is not on.
7:23
Speaker 1: Shin stands leaving the box next to Fido, and Fido
7:27
Speaker 1: doesn't move at all. I'm pretty sure he's dead, which
7:31
Speaker 1: is totally upsetting because I liked Fido a lot. Shin
7:35
Speaker 1: turns and walks away and right and says, you sure
7:38
Speaker 1: this is how you want to handle it. Shin's like, yeah,
7:41
Speaker 1: we can't take him with us. It's the least we
7:43
Speaker 1: can do. And he looks down at the train tracks
7:48
Speaker 1: as they cut through these green rolling hills and continues,
7:52
Speaker 1: we won't be going much further ourselves. Fuck. We see
7:56
Speaker 1: THEO walking like carrying a box. He looks up and stops,
8:00
Speaker 1: and everyone is like doing stuff round Chin's juggernaut, like
8:03
Speaker 1: I think they're moving supplies in and things like that,
8:07
Speaker 1: and it looks like they only have one robot thing left.
8:10
Speaker 1: And THEO says, shinz is the only one that can move. Huh.
8:14
Speaker 1: Karina's like, we've got rifles and guns, but Aju continues,
8:18
Speaker 1: not a lot of ammo. Right In, who is loading
8:23
Speaker 1: bullets into the cartridge of like either for his rifle
8:27
Speaker 1: or pistol I don't remember, says we lost the containers,
8:30
Speaker 1: which hurts. We lost most of our ammo and fuel,
8:33
Speaker 1: and Karina's like and food. Right In says, yup, food too.
8:38
Speaker 1: He cocks the gun and you hooks like this pulley
8:41
Speaker 1: thing to the robot container thing that they have, which
8:44
Speaker 1: is basically like it's got Fido feet, like walking orange feet,
8:48
Speaker 1: and then it's like a big metal container on top.
8:50
Speaker 1: And she says, I'm all done? What about you? THEO
8:53
Speaker 1: makes an okay gesture with his hands and he says
8:56
Speaker 1: all set right. In slings the rifle over his shoulder
8:59
Speaker 1: and he's like, let's go. Then if we don't get
9:01
Speaker 1: out of here, the legion will find us again. Shinn,
9:04
Speaker 1: who was next to him also prepping guns, says yeah,
9:07
Speaker 1: and she's like, holl pilot, it can't just be Shin
9:10
Speaker 1: all the time, right, AND's like, we'll take shifts. Shin
9:14
Speaker 1: says that's fine. Theo's like, but did it have to
9:17
Speaker 1: be the undertaker of all things? Corna says, is that
9:21
Speaker 1: a problem? Theo's like, Shin sets his parameters so tight
9:25
Speaker 1: it's scary. He's got a lot of limiters turned off.
9:28
Speaker 1: Correna gets into the cockpit and she's like, I'll go
9:31
Speaker 1: first then, and Theo's like, what, no, I'll do it.
9:34
Speaker 1: Corna puts on the seat belt and says, you were
9:37
Speaker 1: just complaining and I lost mine first, so I'm not
9:39
Speaker 1: even tired at all. THEO looks kind of annoyed. Like
9:43
Speaker 1: maybe he actually was just protesting for no reason and
9:47
Speaker 1: he actually wanted to go first to show how good
9:49
Speaker 1: he was with the parameters turned off or something. I'm
9:52
Speaker 1: not sure. We cut to a box tumbling to the
9:54
Speaker 1: ground that I didn't understand at first, and Ryden says, okay,
9:58
Speaker 1: if we went into any legion, the one piloting at
10:00
Speaker 1: the time fights him, right, Shin's like fine with me.
10:03
Speaker 1: He tosses a box. I guess they are throwing the
10:05
Speaker 1: excess boxes just randomly, and Onjo's like fine and throws
10:09
Speaker 1: a box. We watch that box as it slowly falls
10:13
Speaker 1: down like maybe a cliff or something. It's just humbling
10:17
Speaker 1: down for like a few seconds, too long to sit
10:21
Speaker 1: well with me. I don't know why this was so long.
10:24
Speaker 1: It didn't quite get it. Then we cut to the
10:27
Speaker 1: feet of shins juggernaut walking and it is pulling that
10:32
Speaker 1: robot tub thing which has all of the rest of
10:35
Speaker 1: them except Karina inside it. So it's kind of like
10:38
Speaker 1: a pickup truck, you know, like this is the flatbed
10:40
Speaker 1: part of the truck and the Juggernaut is the non
10:44
Speaker 1: flatbed part, I guess, or maybe like a tractor trailer
10:48
Speaker 1: big truck where yeah, you know, it doesn't really matter anyway.
10:53
Speaker 1: Theo is kind of looking out of the container while
10:56
Speaker 1: the others are just like sitting in the bottom and
10:58
Speaker 1: Onjo's asleep. We hear Shin say corna stop. Karina's like
11:03
Speaker 1: what and she stops. Shin leans out of the container
11:08
Speaker 1: and looks around and they're in like this really hilly
11:10
Speaker 1: field and he sees a hole or a cave or
11:13
Speaker 1: something in the middle of the field and he's like,
11:15
Speaker 1: there's a hole in those clips. At ten o'clock, take
11:17
Speaker 1: us there. Crana's like Roger, Shin says, hurry. We cut
11:22
Speaker 1: to the rain hitting the ground amidst a really heavy downpour,
11:27
Speaker 1: and all a spearhead is in that cave and they
11:30
Speaker 1: are just sitting there silently watching outside, except for Corrina,
11:33
Speaker 1: who's still in the Druggernaut. Krana takes deep breath and
11:37
Speaker 1: she has her hand on the trigger, just kind of waiting,
11:40
Speaker 1: and then the legion march by like up the cliff,
11:43
Speaker 1: and we fade to black. We come back into a hilly,
11:45
Speaker 1: green landscape with like some trees kind of randomly in
11:50
Speaker 1: the fields, and everything is wet from the rain. The
11:53
Speaker 1: sun is peeking out through the clouds, and we hear
11:56
Speaker 1: Corrana say we avoided them thanks to Shin and anjuice,
11:59
Speaker 1: like there were a whole lot of them too. THEO says,
12:03
Speaker 1: is it just mirror? We seeing more of them lately?
12:06
Speaker 1: They are again walking forward in the juggernaut slash moving
12:10
Speaker 1: container thing. Righton says, I guess we're getting closer to
12:14
Speaker 1: a base. He's standing and Shin is sitting next to him,
12:17
Speaker 1: and he looks down at him, and Sin says, yeah,
12:20
Speaker 1: he's just kind of staring kind of blankly, like weirdly blankly,
12:25
Speaker 1: and right In just kind of like is like h
12:28
Speaker 1: We hear THEO, who is now driving, say, everyone eyes front.
12:31
Speaker 1: They all look out and they see that they're approaching
12:34
Speaker 1: a town. We cut to the streets of the town
12:36
Speaker 1: where a horse is grazing and everything is super disheveled,
12:40
Speaker 1: and we see like the ruins of maybe like some juggernauts.
12:44
Speaker 1: And this town is different than anything we've seen before.
12:47
Speaker 1: It looks like distinctly Japanese, like it has all sorts
12:50
Speaker 1: of Japanese street signs and things like that, and they
12:53
Speaker 1: are all just kind of looking around quietly as they
12:56
Speaker 1: pass buildings and such, and then we see them going
12:59
Speaker 1: through what I believe is like a rice field, you know,
13:01
Speaker 1: because they like flood them. So they're going through the
13:03
Speaker 1: area that's not normally flooded, like in between the flooded
13:07
Speaker 1: patty areas. But it's not flooded right now because they're
13:09
Speaker 1: obviously not growing rice because no one lives there. But
13:12
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it looks like to me, at least.
13:14
Speaker 1: After they pass these like rice fields, they come across
13:17
Speaker 1: this like really large building that has I guess a
13:19
Speaker 1: gate out front with a sign over it, and it's
13:22
Speaker 1: in Japanese, so we get a translation that says Imperial
13:24
Speaker 1: City First Elementary School. Theo's like a school. He does
13:30
Speaker 1: not read Japanese, so he's just guessing. So now they
13:32
Speaker 1: are outside, like within the gates of the school, just
13:35
Speaker 1: kind of like looking around at it. It's kind of
13:37
Speaker 1: this large, again, like very Japanese style building. I don't
13:41
Speaker 1: know what this architecture style is called, and I probably
13:43
Speaker 1: should have looked it up, but I didn't. But it's
13:45
Speaker 1: kind of like a big stone or I guess stucco
13:48
Speaker 1: building is correct, because I don't see there's not individual stones.
13:52
Speaker 1: So it's like there's a parge coat over things. It's
13:54
Speaker 1: like a big, well made looking building with maybe a
14:00
Speaker 1: I almost ad manswered, like a hipped roof, you know,
14:02
Speaker 1: like all the sides of the roof have a roof
14:04
Speaker 1: on them, if that makes sense, not a gable, a
14:06
Speaker 1: hipped roof. Sorry, and Karina says, you think theo's like probably.
14:13
Speaker 1: AU's like, that's right. You've never been to school, have you.
14:16
Speaker 1: Oh shit, right, and says, even in a totally different
14:20
Speaker 1: country and culture, schools still look basically the same. Karina
14:24
Speaker 1: looks at the building and she's like, so this is
14:27
Speaker 1: a school, and then she makes like this really excited
14:31
Speaker 1: squeal and she's like, hey, let's sleep here today. Sin
14:34
Speaker 1: looks over and Andrew smiles and she's like, let's we
14:39
Speaker 1: cut to their boots as they walk into the building
14:42
Speaker 1: and onto the wood floor, and they're walking down the
14:44
Speaker 1: hallway and honestly, it's really not in bad shape for
14:48
Speaker 1: being abandoned, you know, like it's not nice anymore. It's
14:51
Speaker 1: a little dirty. And they were like vines growing on
14:54
Speaker 1: the walls, which isn't necessarily good inside because you know,
14:58
Speaker 1: that means there's moisture, enough moisture for the vines to grow,
15:01
Speaker 1: which can be detrimental to the building. But whatever. Theo
15:06
Speaker 1: passes by like a broken window, and he stops and
15:10
Speaker 1: he looks out, I guess on the school yard. And
15:13
Speaker 1: then Karina like slides over a really really cool pocket
15:17
Speaker 1: door and like walks into a classroom. In the classroom,
15:21
Speaker 1: there are Japanese like little sheets of characters like pinned
15:25
Speaker 1: to some kind of board, like maybe they were practicing
15:28
Speaker 1: specific characters. And there's a blackboard at the front of
15:32
Speaker 1: the room, obviously, and it's just filled with multicolored chalk
15:35
Speaker 1: drawings and like words in Japanese that I didn't think
15:40
Speaker 1: to try to read. But there's like a horse draw
15:42
Speaker 1: in there, and like smiling flowers and oh, like a
15:47
Speaker 1: tree and stuff. It's just really cute. It just feels nice,
15:52
Speaker 1: which is kind of weird because this place is abandoned,
15:56
Speaker 1: but it seems like whoever was there or last like
15:58
Speaker 1: the last kids that we're in this room, or happy,
16:02
Speaker 1: really happy. So it's kind of nice and kind of
16:06
Speaker 1: presents an interesting dichotomy between that and the rest of
16:10
Speaker 1: what we're seeing. Karina is staring at this board and
16:14
Speaker 1: Onju walks over and says, can you read that? Karna
16:18
Speaker 1: Karana shakes her head and she's like, no, but it
16:20
Speaker 1: looks like they were having fun. Yeah, that's exactly what
16:23
Speaker 1: it looks like. Shin and Rydan are now sitting at
16:26
Speaker 1: the wooden desks in the classroom, and right and says
16:29
Speaker 1: this brings back so many memories. Sin's like, did you
16:32
Speaker 1: like school and studying? Right In chuckles no. Onju smiles
16:37
Speaker 1: and clears her throat. She's still standing at the front
16:39
Speaker 1: of the room, right in Suga. Right In looks up
16:42
Speaker 1: and he's like, huh. Karina sits down at one of
16:45
Speaker 1: the desks. On you dramatically looks out at the classroom,
16:49
Speaker 1: searching for him, and says, huh is right in absence today.
16:55
Speaker 1: She looks at him and smiles. Right In Suga raises
17:00
Speaker 1: his hand very dramatically and says presence. Karina looks back
17:04
Speaker 1: at him like totally confused, and Onu continues Theoto Rica.
17:09
Speaker 1: Theo raises his hand and he's like here, Andrew says
17:13
Speaker 1: Correna Cucamilla. Corna looks up at her, and Andrew smiles
17:18
Speaker 1: and nods like come on. Karna kinda looks super confused,
17:23
Speaker 1: but then she blushes and smiles and she stands and
17:26
Speaker 1: raises her hand and she's like present and then she
17:28
Speaker 1: extends her arm towards Aju and is like Onu Emma,
17:32
Speaker 1: and Aju raises her hand and she's like present. Karina
17:36
Speaker 1: is super excited about this now, and she turns to
17:38
Speaker 1: Shin and she gestures like super emphatically. Shine knows in.
17:43
Speaker 1: Shin stares for a second and then smiles and he's like, presence.
17:48
Speaker 1: I kind of love this a lot. We cut to
17:53
Speaker 1: Shin's boot as it crushes one of the stools from
17:57
Speaker 1: the classroom, and Shin says, if we're we're not gonna
18:00
Speaker 1: study these just firewood. He stamps on it again to
18:03
Speaker 1: break its ride In and Onjuke, who are holding stools,
18:07
Speaker 1: look at each other and just put them down, and
18:11
Speaker 1: Ryding says, I see Aju starts to stomp on a
18:14
Speaker 1: stool and Corina gets like super excited and she's like
18:17
Speaker 1: is this something special too? And Onj's like, what theo
18:22
Speaker 1: who's picking up a piece of wood says tearing down
18:25
Speaker 1: the school maybe? Andrew starts to laugh and Karina just
18:28
Speaker 1: looks so confused at their joke. Ride In is now
18:32
Speaker 1: like making a little like, you know, like a little
18:35
Speaker 1: thingy of wood where all like the logs are leaning
18:37
Speaker 1: against each other so you can start a fire whatever
18:39
Speaker 1: the hell that's called. It's kind of like a triangle
18:42
Speaker 1: but not I don't know, guys, I'm sorry anyway, he says, okay,
18:48
Speaker 1: how do we light it? Shin pulls a book out
18:51
Speaker 1: of one of the boxes that he has near him,
18:53
Speaker 1: and he starts to rip it apart. He crumples the
18:56
Speaker 1: pages and he throws them into the pile, and Theo's like,
19:00
Speaker 1: those are textbooks, and Ju says, I feel kind of guilty.
19:04
Speaker 1: Shitten continues to throw pages in the pile and says,
19:07
Speaker 1: books we can't read are useless. I guess that's true.
19:10
Speaker 1: I mean they could learn the language, but I don't
19:12
Speaker 1: think they have that kind of time. And Koreina is
19:14
Speaker 1: like true. Theo reaches into the box of books and
19:18
Speaker 1: he pulls out and Nihanika workbook, which I looked up
19:22
Speaker 1: just to make sure that's not a real Japanese thing.
19:24
Speaker 1: Nihanika I don't believe is an actual Japanese word. It
19:27
Speaker 1: would be nihango, and I'm sure that would mean that
19:30
Speaker 1: it's so like a language work book, but this is Nihanika.
19:32
Speaker 1: Maybe their language is like Japanese but not Japanese, not
19:35
Speaker 1: really sure, but anyway, it has cherry blossom trees on
19:39
Speaker 1: the cover, and he opens it and it's just pages
19:42
Speaker 1: and pages of practice characters. And the page he has
19:46
Speaker 1: open has like, you know, all of the same character
19:49
Speaker 1: written over and over again. I mean the way that
19:50
Speaker 1: you'd write out like any letter in the alphabet over
19:54
Speaker 1: and over again, except characters, you know. So anyway, it's
19:58
Speaker 1: just characters, and then it like orange like swirly like
20:02
Speaker 1: almost flower over top of them, and then a little
20:04
Speaker 1: note in the corner that says well done in Japanese.
20:08
Speaker 1: He closes it. We cut to the book on the
20:10
Speaker 1: floor next to his chair as the fire burns in
20:14
Speaker 1: the center and it's totally dark. Now. Karna has like
20:18
Speaker 1: a little box and she like shakes it and a
20:20
Speaker 1: little red life saver pops out yay, and An's like,
20:25
Speaker 1: you still have one? I didn't know she had them
20:27
Speaker 1: at all. Karna says yeah. She holds it up and
20:31
Speaker 1: looks at it. This is the last one. All of Spearhead,
20:34
Speaker 1: who was sitting around the fire, turn and look at
20:37
Speaker 1: her as she eats it, and Carna says no more.
20:40
Speaker 1: After dinner, deserts. She throws the empty container into the
20:44
Speaker 1: air and it kind of twirls and sparkly dust, which
20:49
Speaker 1: is probably sugar, kind of comes out into the air
20:52
Speaker 1: in slow motion, kind of like that box, except not
20:56
Speaker 1: a box. I don't know. We cut to like, I
20:59
Speaker 1: guess like ass can laying on the ground. It's October thirty,
21:03
Speaker 1: first twenty eight, and it's light out, so it's the
21:06
Speaker 1: next morning. We hear right and say, that's all of it.
21:10
Speaker 1: Behind him, Karina is jumping across like those multicolored tires,
21:14
Speaker 1: you know when you have like tires and they're kind
21:16
Speaker 1: of stuck parsley in the ground and you can like
21:19
Speaker 1: jump on them and stuff. Yeah, that's what's happening. Riding continues.
21:24
Speaker 1: We'll be lucky if it lasts a full day. Oh great,
21:28
Speaker 1: Karina squeals as she like loses her balance, and we
21:31
Speaker 1: cut to Shin sitting in the open cockpit of his
21:33
Speaker 1: juggernaut and he says, yeah. Right In, who we now
21:36
Speaker 1: see is standing over him, says, I guess are fun
21:39
Speaker 1: hikes at its end? Shin looks up at him right
21:42
Speaker 1: In exhales we're leaving Aju, THEO and Corona all kind
21:47
Speaker 1: of say okay. We cut to just the burned fire
21:51
Speaker 1: logs on the ground for quite a long time now
21:54
Speaker 1: during this conversation, maybe to save animation budget. Maybe it's
21:57
Speaker 1: trying to tell me something, but I don't know what
21:59
Speaker 1: it is. Anyway, Andrew says it's my turn this morning, right,
22:04
Speaker 1: and we hear right and say yeah, thanks, and Karina's like,
22:08
Speaker 1: we graduate school in a single day, huh. THEO says, wow,
22:11
Speaker 1: we must be really smart, right, and it's like we
22:14
Speaker 1: got bright futures ahead of us. Fuck, And they're all like,
22:18
Speaker 1: come on and ride In laughs me too, that was
22:22
Speaker 1: too much. Ride In. We cut to the sun peeking
22:25
Speaker 1: through a tree canopy as we're looking up and clearly
22:28
Speaker 1: moving forward. And Andrew is of course driving the Juggernaut,
22:32
Speaker 1: and she looks up at something and we see that
22:35
Speaker 1: they've reached like a cliff. I guess, like there's a
22:38
Speaker 1: rock wall in front of them that extends pretty far,
22:41
Speaker 1: you know, like that you can't go up because it's
22:43
Speaker 1: a cliff. And they stop. THEO, Andrew and ride In
22:46
Speaker 1: are looking up at it, and THEO says, we're going
22:50
Speaker 1: up this. Karina's like, don't ask me. Right In looks
22:54
Speaker 1: overt Chin, who is still sitting not looking at the cliff,
22:58
Speaker 1: and says, is this right? We hear are say we
23:04
Speaker 1: keep going forward right? Shin says yeah, but he's just
23:09
Speaker 1: staring so blankly. And Andrew says Roger. They're now walking
23:15
Speaker 1: along the cliff face because obviously they can't go up
23:18
Speaker 1: the cliff, not with their juggernaut and like a attached
23:22
Speaker 1: flatbed type thing. And at this point THEO and ride
23:26
Speaker 1: in our sleep, Karina is leaning out and watching the scenery,
23:30
Speaker 1: and Shin has his eyes closed, but then he opens
23:32
Speaker 1: them and he says, Andrew, let's switch. On's like, what right?
23:38
Speaker 1: And wakes up at this and on you continues It's
23:40
Speaker 1: still early, isn't it. It's supposed to be my turn
23:42
Speaker 1: till lunch. Shin says, I'm bored. Aju starts to laugh
23:47
Speaker 1: and ride and it's like you scared me, and Thea's like, yeah,
23:49
Speaker 1: I didn't think we'd have so much free time. Karina says,
23:52
Speaker 1: there's nothing to do but look at the scenery. That's fun.
23:55
Speaker 1: You should enjoy that. I don't know, man, I like
23:57
Speaker 1: looking at the scenery while I'm driving or when other
23:59
Speaker 1: people are driving me. But whatever, Shin hops over the
24:03
Speaker 1: side of the container, and Andrew's like, Shin should have
24:06
Speaker 1: brought one of the picture books from the school. Shin
24:09
Speaker 1: looks up the cliff, just kind of staring at it
24:12
Speaker 1: for a minute, and then down the path that they
24:14
Speaker 1: were traveling, and he's like yeah. Andrew now enters the
24:17
Speaker 1: container and THEO waves to her and is like, get
24:20
Speaker 1: some rest, and I'm just like, I'm not tired at all.
24:23
Speaker 1: We cut to Shin sitting in the dark cockpits with
24:26
Speaker 1: his head down. He does not look okay. Actually, I
24:30
Speaker 1: don't think this was a good decision. I don't think
24:32
Speaker 1: you should have allowed him to get in the cockpit.
24:34
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, and AND's like we're all set Shin. Shin exhales,
24:40
Speaker 1: and Theo's like, you're on watch. Corna gasps, what take
24:44
Speaker 1: my place? There's a sudden shoult and like a metallic
24:48
Speaker 1: thud sound and they all look over and the cables
24:51
Speaker 1: that were connecting, you know, their container and the juggernaut
24:53
Speaker 1: have been cut. Corna gasps. Shin sends his grappling hook
24:57
Speaker 1: into the side of the cliff face and like causes
24:59
Speaker 1: a rock avalone between them and him so that they
25:02
Speaker 1: can't move forward. And we hear Shin say, the one
25:05
Speaker 1: piloting fights, that's the rule, right fuck Shin, no, right
25:12
Speaker 1: In gasps you knew from the start. He jumps out
25:15
Speaker 1: and he starts to run at the you know, rock
25:17
Speaker 1: avalanche wall now and we hear Shin say there's a
25:21
Speaker 1: unit we won't be able to dodge, and if we
25:22
Speaker 1: can't dodge them, we'll have to fight. Right In stops
25:25
Speaker 1: at the collapsed rocks and he's like trying to figure
25:27
Speaker 1: out what to do, and Karina says, so you suggested
25:30
Speaker 1: switching Onju continues, that's not fair, Shin. She jumps out
25:35
Speaker 1: and runs to the rocks and she's like, you can't
25:37
Speaker 1: do this to us. Fuck. THEO has also gotten out now,
25:41
Speaker 1: and he looks just totally dumbfounded at the situation, and
25:43
Speaker 1: Shin says, you keep going. They won't find you in
25:46
Speaker 1: the forest for a while. It's safer in the forest.
25:49
Speaker 1: Like a lot of dispute song. Right In like at
25:52
Speaker 1: this point tries to climb over the collapsed rocks and
25:56
Speaker 1: one of them like gives way and he tumbles backwards
25:58
Speaker 1: and hits the ground on his back, and we hear
26:00
Speaker 1: and say, keep going, and you get to a point
26:02
Speaker 1: where the Legion's voices disappear. Aju is also trying to
26:06
Speaker 1: climb these rocks too, and THEO grabs her right before
26:09
Speaker 1: a rock hits her in the head, and Shin continues
26:13
Speaker 1: if anyone's alive, ask them for help. Theo's like, hell no,
26:17
Speaker 1: that means you're gonna be a decoy, right, Andju puts
26:21
Speaker 1: her hands over her face and drops to the ground,
26:24
Speaker 1: and Karina is like, you can't leave us at the
26:26
Speaker 1: very end and go by yourself. She looks like she's
26:28
Speaker 1: gonna cry. It's not fair. At this point, Brighton's parade,
26:33
Speaker 1: it's like blinks and kind of goes red and then
26:36
Speaker 1: comes back onto green and he gasps and he kind
26:38
Speaker 1: of like hits it a couple of times and he's
26:40
Speaker 1: like shit, he turns it off. He kicks one of
26:43
Speaker 1: the rocks that idiots. The rock shoots like straight at
26:46
Speaker 1: the camera and like hits it like that, and then
26:48
Speaker 1: we transition to a missile being fired at Chin's Druggernaut.
26:51
Speaker 1: It's really cool, actually, he's evading and taking out Legion
26:54
Speaker 1: and he blows one up and the others are like
26:56
Speaker 1: still shooting at him though, and then suddenly he gasps
26:58
Speaker 1: and looks up. He turns his juggernaut just in time
27:02
Speaker 1: to escape this massive cloud bursting blast, but it sends
27:05
Speaker 1: him flying and he tumbles for a bit and then
27:08
Speaker 1: lands right side up, thank god. We cut to Rydon,
27:12
Speaker 1: who is now walking towards the rocks with a rifle
27:14
Speaker 1: on his back, and Theo's like wait, right, In stops
27:17
Speaker 1: and turns back, Andrew says I'm coming too, right, and
27:20
Speaker 1: it's like, you're okay with this? Right, Karina says, we
27:24
Speaker 1: can't let Chin go by himself. Right ONU and THEO nod.
27:28
Speaker 1: The air starts to fill with those like little sparkly
27:30
Speaker 1: things that I think come from those like flying legion
27:33
Speaker 1: jammer things and right, AND's like right. We cut back
27:38
Speaker 1: to where Shin is. Smoke is slowly clearing to reveal
27:44
Speaker 1: a giant crater from that blast that Chin barely evaded.
27:49
Speaker 1: Shin is slumped over in the cockpit and he coughs
27:52
Speaker 1: and then lifts his head and we can see the
27:54
Speaker 1: blood is running from his mouth, and he says that
27:58
Speaker 1: ultra long range cannon from before. We get a sudden
28:01
Speaker 1: pulse of an image of a really close up shot
28:03
Speaker 1: of someone's face, basically just their eyes which are closed,
28:06
Speaker 1: and their faces like blue. And then their eyes open
28:09
Speaker 1: and the whites are just completely red, and we hear
28:13
Speaker 1: them say, I'll kill you. Shin gasps and his eyes widen. Suddenly,
28:19
Speaker 1: everything in the scene that's in shadow like cuts to
28:22
Speaker 1: a different scene, like it's superimposed over the image of
28:25
Speaker 1: Shin or under the image of Shin, maybe because the
28:29
Speaker 1: line art is still there, like it's still Shin, but
28:31
Speaker 1: it's almost like this is being shown to him or something.
28:33
Speaker 1: It's really cool and I'm having trouble describing it. But anyway,
28:37
Speaker 1: in this new image that has replaced some of his
28:40
Speaker 1: hair and clothing is a person in a military uniform
28:44
Speaker 1: with their back to us, standing amidst the rubble. We
28:47
Speaker 1: hear that guy say the men. The image shifts to
28:51
Speaker 1: a floor with a pool of blood on it and
28:54
Speaker 1: bloody footprints walking away. He continues the children the old
28:59
Speaker 1: We see a window or door open to the outside,
29:02
Speaker 1: and below we can see two army guys walking outside,
29:06
Speaker 1: trampling the Giadian flag. The nobles, the peasants. We cut
29:11
Speaker 1: to the Giatian flag flying tinged with either blood or
29:15
Speaker 1: singed around the edges. I'll kill everyone. We finally cut
29:20
Speaker 1: away from Shin, and we flash to like an image
29:24
Speaker 1: of this guy, like the guy with the red eyes
29:27
Speaker 1: that we just saw, who looks totally insane, and it's
29:30
Speaker 1: like superimposed and maybe a metallic hand, you know, like
29:33
Speaker 1: those Legion metallic can things that we saw a couple
29:36
Speaker 1: episodes ago, And then we cut to this young girl
29:38
Speaker 1: wearing like this regal looking cloak with her arm out stretched,
29:42
Speaker 1: and then back to now where the clouds are being
29:44
Speaker 1: ripped apart by missiles. Shin tries to get himself away
29:48
Speaker 1: from the area, but his leg, one of his like
29:51
Speaker 1: juggernaut legs like sparks a bunch and just falls off. Shit.
29:56
Speaker 1: His Juggernaut drops to the ground. Shin's like not now.
30:00
Speaker 1: He's like trying to get control of the Juggernaut and
30:03
Speaker 1: it's not working, and he looks up at Gasps and
30:06
Speaker 1: this gigantic Legion is coming right towards him. Shin looks
30:12
Speaker 1: pretty resigned and he says, they're after my head. Huh No.
30:17
Speaker 1: He reaches down for his pistol that's strapped to his leg.
30:20
Speaker 1: Please don't kill yourself, Shin. The rest of Spearhead has
30:23
Speaker 1: gotten over the rocks now and they're approaching. They come
30:26
Speaker 1: over the hill and they see like, I think, one
30:29
Speaker 1: of the Legion like taking off one of Shin's juggernaut's legs.
30:32
Speaker 1: I think, or maybe they're just seeing it explode off.
30:35
Speaker 1: I couldn't really tell, guys, and Rydan's like Shin. They
30:39
Speaker 1: start firing their rifles at the legion, which, come on,
30:43
Speaker 1: is not going to work. And the big legion thing
30:46
Speaker 1: is still walking towards Shin, which is bad. And Rydan
30:49
Speaker 1: is still firing. He's like, shit, look at me. Damn it, No, Rydon,
30:53
Speaker 1: you will die if it looks at you. You are
30:55
Speaker 1: not in anything. You're just a person with a gun.
30:58
Speaker 1: You can't fight a big monster like fucking robot thing.
31:03
Speaker 1: But I do appreciate how much they care about Shin.
31:06
Speaker 1: But they're going to die. And then we cut to
31:08
Speaker 1: black fuck. We come back into Shin's first person perspective.
31:15
Speaker 1: His eyes are blinking open, and we hear Karina say
31:18
Speaker 1: I'm coming. Andrew is like, don't give up, and Ryden says,
31:23
Speaker 1: get moving. Andrew says, Shin, Shin, can you hear me?
31:27
Speaker 1: Shin raises his head as they continue to try to
31:29
Speaker 1: get his attention. His head is bleeding and he just
31:33
Speaker 1: looks so sad. He says, you're all fools. You can't
31:40
Speaker 1: beat the Legion with those weapons. That's exactly my point, Shin.
31:45
Speaker 1: And then just because everything's so good, the hatch of
31:50
Speaker 1: his cockpit starts to shake and it is being pried
31:55
Speaker 1: off by that giant Legion yay, and it just gets
32:00
Speaker 1: it off, and then we cut to a bunch of
32:03
Speaker 1: those like weird looking almost like android person looking legion
32:07
Speaker 1: like running at the rest of Spearhead, which is bad,
32:09
Speaker 1: but at least they're the right size to fight Karina.
32:12
Speaker 1: Righte in, THEO and on Jew actually are shooting at them,
32:16
Speaker 1: and they are taking some of them out, and Theo's like,
32:19
Speaker 1: I'm out of AMMO. Fuck. Karina takes one down right
32:23
Speaker 1: before it gets to THEO, but it fucking explodes and
32:27
Speaker 1: THEO screams fuck, and Karina's like THEO. THEO collapses and
32:33
Speaker 1: his eyes close and his powery cuts out, and that's
32:36
Speaker 1: really bad. I think. Right End is like damn it,
32:40
Speaker 1: and he and Onju and Karina are still firing and
32:43
Speaker 1: explosions are rocking like the area near them, and then
32:46
Speaker 1: there's some explosions like right in front of them, and
32:49
Speaker 1: we cut back to Shin as the legion looms over
32:52
Speaker 1: his open cockpit. Shin says, fools. He takes a deep,
32:59
Speaker 1: shaky breath, preparing for what's to come. We cut back
33:03
Speaker 1: to ride In, Corne and Andrew, who are all just
33:07
Speaker 1: collapsed on the ground and I don't know if they're okay,
33:11
Speaker 1: but they don't look okay. Shin says, you really are fools.
33:18
Speaker 1: We cut back to Shin, whose eyes are closed with
33:22
Speaker 1: the most pained smile on his face. He opens his
33:26
Speaker 1: eyes again and he looks up at the giant legion
33:29
Speaker 1: standing over him, and he says, when I'm part of
33:33
Speaker 1: the legion, whose name will I call out? No, Shin,
33:39
Speaker 1: come on, do something. We cut to the floor of
33:44
Speaker 1: his cockpit and the metal from one of the insignias
33:48
Speaker 1: of the Juggernauts just gleams near his feet for a second,
33:51
Speaker 1: and then the picture fades to white. We get the
33:54
Speaker 1: title card, Episode eleven. Here we go. Yeah, We're definitely
33:59
Speaker 1: go somewhere. I think it's bad. No, no, this is bad.
34:05
Speaker 1: Back from the title card, there is a cargo plane
34:09
Speaker 1: on a runway and the sky is blue behind it.
34:12
Speaker 1: It is October thirteenth, twenty one forty eight, so about
34:16
Speaker 1: half a month in the past. And that's just great
34:19
Speaker 1: because I kind of wanted to know what was going on.
34:22
Speaker 1: I want to make sure they're okay, so please don't
34:24
Speaker 1: cut away from that, but I guess we're doing that.
34:26
Speaker 1: So anyway, Lena walks out of the plane and she
34:30
Speaker 1: looks around and she is at Spearheads Barracks. Fuck. She
34:37
Speaker 1: walks into that hangar and we see that it is
34:41
Speaker 1: stocked with brand new Juggernauts and new fdal looking robots
34:45
Speaker 1: are just kind of walking around. Aldrich is leaning against
34:49
Speaker 1: the wall and she doesn't see him, and he says,
34:53
Speaker 1: Fido's not here. Lena is like what and turns towards him,
34:56
Speaker 1: and Aldred says they took him. Lena look back at
35:00
Speaker 1: one of the robots and says, so he wasn't a dog. Huh.
35:04
Speaker 1: Aldridge kind of gets up and walks towards her and
35:06
Speaker 1: says Major Malise, was it. Lena's like yes. Aldred says,
35:12
Speaker 1: what are you doing all the way out here? Aren't
35:14
Speaker 1: you under house arrest? Oh? She actually got in trouble.
35:17
Speaker 1: Aldridge starts to walk out of the hangar and Lena's
35:20
Speaker 1: like yes, She starts to follow him, which gives me
35:23
Speaker 1: more time to visit the front lines. Lena, I think
35:27
Speaker 1: house arrest means you're not allowed to leave your house.
35:30
Speaker 1: Like that's what that means. It means you're arrested in
35:33
Speaker 1: your house and not in a jail. I don't think
35:36
Speaker 1: you could be there. How did you even get there?
35:41
Speaker 1: They stop walking they see that's over like a ways away.
35:46
Speaker 1: The new Spearhead squadron is having their mugshots taken, and
35:50
Speaker 1: Aldred says along with the next group to be executed.
35:54
Speaker 1: He chuckles, I heard the rumors, but you really are
35:56
Speaker 1: a Weirdoh huh. Lena is just watching the new kids
36:00
Speaker 1: take their mugshots and doesn't say anything, and Aldrich continues,
36:04
Speaker 1: go see it. Lena looks up what Aldrich is like,
36:09
Speaker 1: not that they left much behind. He leans against the
36:12
Speaker 1: outside wall the hangar. Now. Lena looks down, says okay.
36:18
Speaker 1: She starts to walk past him, and then Aldridge says,
36:21
Speaker 1: I've been watching these kids go on their last march
36:23
Speaker 1: for a long time. Lena stops. He continues, but I've
36:28
Speaker 1: never seen a handler come out here. Lena looks at
36:30
Speaker 1: him and says, Lieutenant Aldrich, your Aldrich takes off his
36:36
Speaker 1: glasses and we see that he is silver eyes and
36:38
Speaker 1: silver eyelashes. He says, an Alba like you. My wife
36:43
Speaker 1: was in eighty six, and when they were coming to
36:44
Speaker 1: take my wife and daughter, I dyed my hair and
36:46
Speaker 1: went with them. I volunteered, hoping to get their rights back,
36:49
Speaker 1: but they both died on the battlefield. After Shinn came
36:52
Speaker 1: when no one was listening, I asked him if there
36:55
Speaker 1: were any legion out there looking for a shithead who
36:57
Speaker 1: couldn't protect his wife and daughter. Lena's like and what
37:02
Speaker 1: would you have done if there were? Aldridge starts to
37:05
Speaker 1: walk again, go out there and let him kill me.
37:08
Speaker 1: He stops, but he said there weren't. He said there
37:11
Speaker 1: weren't any legion calling my name made me feel a
37:14
Speaker 1: little better. My wife and daughter weren't stuck on some
37:17
Speaker 1: battlefield even after death. Once I'm on the other side,
37:20
Speaker 1: I'll see him. We see the train tracks briefly, and
37:24
Speaker 1: then back to Aldridge. I always tell the mom and
37:26
Speaker 1: Alba before they go out on the special weekn mission.
37:29
Speaker 1: I tell him they're free to hate us, that they
37:32
Speaker 1: can even kill me if it'll make them feel better.
37:34
Speaker 1: He sighs, but nobody ever does not this time either,
37:39
Speaker 1: So I'm still here. He shakes his head and puts
37:42
Speaker 1: back on his glasses. I kept you too long. Get going.
37:47
Speaker 1: Lena takes off her cap and bows to him. Thank you.
37:52
Speaker 1: She puts her cap back on and walks away. I
37:54
Speaker 1: guess I can just stop there and say I didn't
37:56
Speaker 1: know if he was in Olva or not in Alva,
37:58
Speaker 1: because he has like lightish grayish hair, so I thought
38:01
Speaker 1: maybe he just was older, but I didn't know what
38:04
Speaker 1: the deal was. But so he's just kind of hoping
38:07
Speaker 1: one of these kids is one day gonna kill him. Huh,
38:10
Speaker 1: that's great. We see Lena looking at that big metal
38:14
Speaker 1: saying that I don't know what it is that's there
38:17
Speaker 1: all the time, and then she leans down and she
38:20
Speaker 1: touches some dead plants. We see her looking at the
38:23
Speaker 1: chicken coop, and a chicken or maybe a rooster or
38:27
Speaker 1: something like jumps up it's inside though, and just scares
38:30
Speaker 1: the shit out of her. We cut to her standing
38:32
Speaker 1: in the shower room and then walking through the empty
38:36
Speaker 1: dining hall. We see her feet walking and like stopping
38:39
Speaker 1: along the way to look at things, and then she's
38:42
Speaker 1: standing in the doorway of one of the bedrooms. She
38:45
Speaker 1: looks over and sees some strings nailed to I guess
38:48
Speaker 1: a window frame. And then we see those ghosties that
38:52
Speaker 1: the squadron had made before they left, just in a
38:55
Speaker 1: pile on the floor, dead like them. Yay, sure, okay.
39:01
Speaker 1: We see Lena tracing a knife mark on Shin's desk
39:04
Speaker 1: with her finger. She looks up and she sees the
39:07
Speaker 1: cat sitting in the doorway, and it just kind of
39:10
Speaker 1: walks away. She starts to think of when Spearhead was
39:14
Speaker 1: telling her about the cats. So we hear the voices
39:17
Speaker 1: of Spearhead, and we hear Da say we keep it
39:20
Speaker 1: in the barracks. She starts to follow it. He continues,
39:23
Speaker 1: it's a black cat with white paws, Theo's like, and
39:27
Speaker 1: for some reason it's taken a liking to undertake her
39:29
Speaker 1: more than anyone. On's like. He doesn't play with it
39:32
Speaker 1: at all. Lena enters that main common room area, still
39:36
Speaker 1: following the cat, and Onju continues, it just rubs up
39:40
Speaker 1: against him all the time, and he pass it once
39:42
Speaker 1: in a while, right, and says, I think it's more
39:45
Speaker 1: like it thinks he's a good bed I mean, just
39:48
Speaker 1: look at it right now. The cat has stopped at
39:51
Speaker 1: that desk that is Shin's, I guess, and is clawing
39:54
Speaker 1: at one of the drawers. We hear onjrewsay, yeah, it
39:58
Speaker 1: doesn't move when he's reading. It'll never get along with
40:00
Speaker 1: black Dog though he's annoying. Lena kneels down near the
40:05
Speaker 1: cat and hear Diya say that's mean and not there.
40:08
Speaker 1: I demand you take it back. Boo boo. Lena opens
40:13
Speaker 1: the drawer that the cat has been clawing at, and
40:16
Speaker 1: inside it looks like there's a book, and then also
40:19
Speaker 1: the cat toy that's like a little pig head on
40:21
Speaker 1: a string, and she kind of looks shocked for a second,
40:25
Speaker 1: and she smiles and reaches for the toy. She dangles
40:29
Speaker 1: it in front of the cat and he paws at it,
40:31
Speaker 1: and we hear her say in the past, what's its name?
40:35
Speaker 1: And then Spearhead Squadron raffles off like all sorts of names,
40:38
Speaker 1: ending with Shin's remark. Theo says, don't name it after
40:43
Speaker 1: the author of whatever book you're reading. What are you
40:45
Speaker 1: reading anyway? And then this kind of fades out as
40:47
Speaker 1: he continues talking. She turns back to the drawer and
40:51
Speaker 1: looks at the book inside and realizes that it is
40:56
Speaker 1: all Quiet on the Western Front by I Rich Mariah remark,
41:01
Speaker 1: I think I'm pronouncing that, okay, but I'm not sure.
41:04
Speaker 1: Her eyes widened and she gasps, So that's what he's
41:08
Speaker 1: reading everyone, which, by the way, I'll just stop here
41:11
Speaker 1: and tell you that it is a nineteen twenty eight
41:14
Speaker 1: German anti war novel, semi autobiographic about German soldiers in
41:20
Speaker 1: World War One and the just extreme mental and physical
41:24
Speaker 1: trauma that they went through, and then like how they
41:26
Speaker 1: came home and then they couldn't fit into society either.
41:29
Speaker 1: It's obviously a really famous book that I've never read.
41:32
Speaker 1: But when I saw it, I was like, oh fuck,
41:35
Speaker 1: it's a book that I should have known it. And
41:37
Speaker 1: when he said remark, or however you pronounced that guy's
41:39
Speaker 1: last name, I should have looked that up and I didn't,
41:42
Speaker 1: But now we know. Lena picks up the book and
41:45
Speaker 1: opens to the first page and there are like three
41:47
Speaker 1: pieces of paper like folded inside it. She shakily reaches
41:52
Speaker 1: for the first one and unfolds it, and it's theostrawing
41:57
Speaker 1: of her as a pig. He is puts you at
42:01
Speaker 1: the top and then an arrow to her so that
42:03
Speaker 1: she knows for sure that it's her. She looks, I
42:07
Speaker 1: don't know, confused, slightly offended. And there are a bunch
42:12
Speaker 1: of notes written on it now, And at this point
42:14
Speaker 1: the ending theme starts up. Each one is read in
42:17
Speaker 1: the person's voice. So the first one says, if you
42:21
Speaker 1: actually went through the trouble of finding this, you're one
42:24
Speaker 1: crazy dumbass. Lena gasps right in sugar. She looks at
42:28
Speaker 1: the next one, less enthused to continue now, and it says,
42:33
Speaker 1: I wrote down everyone's names for you. I bet you're
42:35
Speaker 1: crying your eyes out right now because you can't tell
42:38
Speaker 1: which one of us is which the otto Rika. She
42:41
Speaker 1: looks up and grabs like the next piece of paper
42:44
Speaker 1: in the book, and when she picks it up, we
42:47
Speaker 1: see that the paper under its is like a legend
42:50
Speaker 1: of sorts of like from a picture. Like it's got
42:53
Speaker 1: like little figures and pointing to them with all their
42:55
Speaker 1: names and stuff, which is interesting. And then she gasps
42:59
Speaker 1: as she realizes that the middle paper is a polaroid,
43:02
Speaker 1: specifically the polaroid that Phido took that we saw in
43:05
Speaker 1: the last episode of All of Them Together. Yay. The
43:10
Speaker 1: next note reads, take care of the cat. You might
43:12
Speaker 1: as well if you're gonna insist on being a saint,
43:15
Speaker 1: Karina Kokamilla. We haven't decided on a name yet, Give
43:19
Speaker 1: me a cute one, okay, major on you, Emma. Lena
43:24
Speaker 1: looks down at the cat, which is looking up at
43:26
Speaker 1: her with its head tilted forty five degrees. It meows.
43:31
Speaker 1: Lena's mouth kind of makes sort of a smile, but
43:35
Speaker 1: her lips are quivering, and we can't see her eyes,
43:38
Speaker 1: kind of just the bottom of her face, and she's
43:41
Speaker 1: obviously not okay, which makes sense because yeah, she looks up.
43:46
Speaker 1: Of course we can't see what she's looking at, but
43:49
Speaker 1: I believe it is the notes, and her lips part
43:54
Speaker 1: slightly and a tear runs down her cheek. She kind
43:57
Speaker 1: of like silently gasps. Next thing we see, she is
44:02
Speaker 1: standing on the train tracks, looking off into the distance,
44:07
Speaker 1: surrounded by the orange light of sunset, and her tears
44:11
Speaker 1: are being carried away by the wind, and we get
44:13
Speaker 1: the final notes, If one day you make it to
44:18
Speaker 1: our final destination, would you please leave flowers? She nay
44:24
Speaker 1: knows it function really. Lena looks determined now and she
44:32
Speaker 1: thinks I can keep walking too. She walks off of
44:36
Speaker 1: the tracks. They believe that about me until the very end.
44:41
Speaker 1: They're right, Lena. We see the orange sunlight hitting the
44:46
Speaker 1: mural of Saint Magnolia on the building and Lena stares
44:50
Speaker 1: at it resolved, and then she turns to the cat
44:54
Speaker 1: that is sitting on Shinn's bench and she says, let's
44:59
Speaker 1: go title drop. She picks him up. What should I
45:03
Speaker 1: call you? She thinks, I'll fight until the moment fate
45:08
Speaker 1: finally comes for me. She passes by that dummy that's
45:12
Speaker 1: on the bench and it now has one of its
45:17
Speaker 1: hands kind of positioned in a peace sign, and the
45:21
Speaker 1: pig sign is gone from around its neck, which seems
45:26
Speaker 1: all well and fine, except also it doesn't have a
45:29
Speaker 1: head anymore, which is just terrifying. And then we go
45:38
Speaker 1: to the full ending theme, which is the dummy without
45:41
Speaker 1: a head with his neck and hand in red and
45:44
Speaker 1: everything else in Sapia. This is a super long ending,
45:48
Speaker 1: so we cut to multiple shots. Then we go to
45:51
Speaker 1: the train tracks, which is kind of like a negative
45:53
Speaker 1: with the colors reversed, but it's in light blue and black,
45:57
Speaker 1: and then there are blue figures off in the distance
46:00
Speaker 1: on the horizon. Which I believe is spirhead squadron moving away.
46:04
Speaker 1: Next we see Lena standing on the train tracks, staring
46:09
Speaker 1: off in the direction that they went in, and the
46:11
Speaker 1: image is basically pink and she's and red and I
46:15
Speaker 1: actually have this very scene picture on my wall too,
46:19
Speaker 1: so now you know a bunch of things that I
46:22
Speaker 1: have on my walls are eighty six. Yay, you should
46:26
Speaker 1: see what my house looks like. You would be embarrassed
46:29
Speaker 1: just for knowing me. Anyway. Finally we cut to that
46:35
Speaker 1: bench that Shin set on all the time, empty of course,
46:39
Speaker 1: with light kind of glinting off the top of it,
46:42
Speaker 1: and red and yellow, and picture is mostly Sapia. The
46:47
Speaker 1: ending theme is still playing, but we're no longer in
46:50
Speaker 1: those picture shots. Now we see Shin his eyes closed.
46:56
Speaker 1: It's just a shot of his head and his neck,
46:59
Speaker 1: and he's kind of shadowed in blue and there are
47:02
Speaker 1: red highlights, I think. But on the right side of
47:06
Speaker 1: him there's what I thought could be a shadow, but
47:08
Speaker 1: it's red and the highlights are red and the shadows
47:11
Speaker 1: are blue, so I don't understand because it looks like
47:13
Speaker 1: it could be blood, and it's very upsetting, and we
47:17
Speaker 1: hear Ray say fuck Shin. Shin opens his eyes and
47:23
Speaker 1: he's a kid. He sits up and the background is
47:27
Speaker 1: totally white. He looks surprised. Sitting across from him in
47:33
Speaker 1: this totally blank white space except for this window that's
47:36
Speaker 1: looking out onto white space is Ray. Ray is leaning
47:41
Speaker 1: against the dresser behind him, kind of like this is
47:44
Speaker 1: happening right after he strangled chin, which is fucked up,
47:48
Speaker 1: and Ray says, I'm sorry. I kept calling you and
47:52
Speaker 1: I made you come all the way here. Yeah, that's
47:55
Speaker 1: not good. Shin moves forward and he like shakes his
47:59
Speaker 1: head no. At this point, Ray lifts the skull night
48:05
Speaker 1: book that he for some reason has over his face.
48:07
Speaker 1: He kind of lifts it up again and drops it
48:10
Speaker 1: over his face and then drops it and we cut
48:13
Speaker 1: to Shin, who was smiling so brightly. Ray stands and
48:19
Speaker 1: he flings back his red cape that he's wearing now
48:22
Speaker 1: to reveal a suit of armor, and he says, let's go.
48:27
Speaker 1: The window in the white background is getting closer now,
48:31
Speaker 1: which is disturbing and confusing, and Shin stands and nods emphatically,
48:38
Speaker 1: and Ray reaches out his hand and Shin takes it,
48:42
Speaker 1: and Ray slowly leads him off screen, so everything is
48:47
Speaker 1: just white now, and then we start to pan down
48:50
Speaker 1: and the white grays and then turns to black, and
48:56
Speaker 1: in that black space is Shin laying on his back
49:00
Speaker 1: with just like a bunch of red scribbles where his
49:03
Speaker 1: head should be. And then we get the next episode
49:08
Speaker 1: title card, Special Edition, and Lena says, the poppies that
49:13
Speaker 1: bloom red on the battlefield, that's it. Fuck yeah. So
49:21
Speaker 1: closing thoughts, Damn, I didn't want that to happen. So
49:26
Speaker 1: first of all, I want to say this before it forgets.
49:30
Speaker 1: The special Edition episode is a recap. I'm not going
49:33
Speaker 1: to cover it next week. We're just gonna go right
49:34
Speaker 1: into episode twelve. You can totally watch it. It's not
49:38
Speaker 1: gonna hurt you in any way. But I don't think
49:40
Speaker 1: I need to cover a recap. So we're not yay,
49:44
Speaker 1: So where do we go from here? Like, Shin really
49:48
Speaker 1: tried to save them, and I don't know if it
49:51
Speaker 1: was because he desperately cared and hoped that they could
49:55
Speaker 1: make it, or if because he knew they wouldn't and
49:58
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be the last one alive and
50:03
Speaker 1: die completely alone. I don't know, but he tried, and
50:07
Speaker 1: they refused, and they tried to fight the legion with rifles,
50:11
Speaker 1: which is not something you can do. And yeah, I
50:15
Speaker 1: don't know. I wanted to point out that I read
50:18
Speaker 1: through part of this section in the light novel because
50:21
Speaker 1: I wanted to check on something. And some of the
50:24
Speaker 1: idea for eighty six has got to come from the Holocaust,
50:26
Speaker 1: because there's a spot where let me grab this Lena.
50:32
Speaker 1: You know, she goes to visit the barracks and she's
50:36
Speaker 1: looking at all the rooms and describing them, or at
50:39
Speaker 1: least the novel is describing them, and they're all just
50:42
Speaker 1: like dirty and just shabby and like not well put together.
50:47
Speaker 1: But she like is looking in the shower room and
50:51
Speaker 1: apparently it reminds her of the gas chamber she's seen
50:55
Speaker 1: in documentaries. So yeah, definitely the Holocaust, which is upset. Yeah,
51:03
Speaker 1: I guess just really took him away to the afterlife
51:08
Speaker 1: or something. Seems like a sad way to end the
51:10
Speaker 1: first core. You know, like these kids they couldn't get
51:15
Speaker 1: a break. There's no way that they all could have
51:18
Speaker 1: survived with just one juggernaut. I mean, obviously we Yeah,
51:22
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm trying to think about if there's
51:24
Speaker 1: like really things I need to say here, or if
51:26
Speaker 1: we just need to wait till the next episode and
51:27
Speaker 1: talk about them. But Lena really shouldn't just be able
51:30
Speaker 1: to go out and do stuff on House Arrest. Really
51:34
Speaker 1: I wish I had more to say, But hopefully Lena
51:36
Speaker 1: can do something, like really do something now that actually
51:41
Speaker 1: saves the next group of kids, because this is just
51:44
Speaker 1: gonna keep happening until they're all dead and then everyone
51:48
Speaker 1: in fucking Sam Magnoli is gonna fucking die because they're
51:51
Speaker 1: gonna run out of soldiers and the Legion is just
51:54
Speaker 1: gonna come and destroy everything. So like somebody needs to
51:59
Speaker 1: save everyone, and I think it has to be her,
52:02
Speaker 1: So I hope that she's up to the task. She
52:04
Speaker 1: seems like she is the whole thing, with her going
52:08
Speaker 1: to the barracks and reading their notes to her and
52:11
Speaker 1: them kind of knowing that she was gonna do that
52:13
Speaker 1: and leaving them, which is really fucking awesome that they
52:17
Speaker 1: were right and she came. It was just a lot.
52:22
Speaker 1: And but I don't want Chin's head to be part
52:25
Speaker 1: of the Legion, like that's terrible. Like why I don't
52:29
Speaker 1: understand why he didn't shoot himself unless like he did
52:33
Speaker 1: try to kill himself because we didn't see anything, right,
52:37
Speaker 1: We just saw it coming for him. He had the gun,
52:41
Speaker 1: so maybe he was lucky and he blew his own
52:45
Speaker 1: brains out before his head got harvested, basically by the Legion,
52:50
Speaker 1: I hope. So, because yeah, Shinn is part of the legion,
52:53
Speaker 1: just let the kid rest. Yeah, that's uh, that's I
52:57
Speaker 1: think all I got. I guess I'm gonna go outside
53:01
Speaker 1: and look at the carnage that it was done to
53:03
Speaker 1: the trees, and yeah, I don't know. It's much less
53:07
Speaker 1: sad than people getting killed, but it is trees getting killed,
53:11
Speaker 1: and I do like trees, so I'm still sad. Anyway,
53:15
Speaker 1: I hope you have a really good whatever, and no
53:18
Speaker 1: one cuts down your trees if you have any, unless
53:21
Speaker 1: you want them to be cut down, which is mean,
53:24
Speaker 1: but okay, and I will see you next time, I suppose,
53:29
Speaker 1: as this is the way this goes, so yeah, later. Weeps.
