So whats Katzes favorite thing? Controlling people? Being around people? Being accepted by them? Its supposed to be the same as Gelsadra and it could go either way painting one of the two in a different light.

Suffering.

Look how the Kuus are all about cuddling up to/eating people in distress.

I assumed the answer was conflict. "What's the easiest thing to get in to, but the hardest to get out of?" Conflict is a pretty good answer to that on it's own and it's definitely something that Katz loves too. Plus, the word came up several other times prominently in the episode.

A party is easy to join but difficult to get out of when you know people there and there was a big party going on with the Kuu's.

I like that there hasn't been much Gatchaman fighting yet.

Hajime is Buddha, not God.

Hajime is Buddha, JJ is God, Berg-Katze is Satan, Rui is Jesus, Gelsadra is Xenu and Tsubasa is L Ron Hubbard. Just wait until next season when we get Thor and Muhammad in on the action.

Enforcing his will on people.

At this point I'm not sure whether I dislike Milione or Rizumu more. It's close.

God, X's upset voice still makes me sad. I thought that wound had closed after the first season, but nope.

I imagine Jou is going to flip the everloving gently caress out next episode, considering what just happened. I could certainly do with some more Phoenix action scenes.

Also: (possible spoilers from looking at OST art) Hajime is holding two NOTEs in the art, her own one and a brown one. Its not Tsubasas, so whose is it? I can't remember what colour Rizumu's is.

I'm not sure Gel needs to be "defeated"; he seemed just as confused by what was going on as everyone else and he doesn't seem the type to be ok with mass killings... though I could see the Kuu persuading him it was for the best. At the moment, I'm guessing this ends with Gel realising he was wrong, or at least that humans aren't amenable to his methods, rather than him going full supervillain, but we'll see.

I meant defeating as moreso "stopping." Like, not rendering incapacitated, just halted in their action.

That note is Katze's

Well Katze was in a similar position last season and he was "stopped". It depends on the type of person Gel really is, if hes a person that can learn from experiences then he'll stop himself. If not, well maybe hajime and Katze have room for another.

Rui's hosed-up bliss coma was a pretty good metaphor for like having a nervous breakdown and just imploding into a heroin/oxy/whatever binge, too, what with the dark room and spilled jar of jelly beans.

I think Katz hangs around Hajime largely for his own reasons- I'm assuming he's functionally immortal, so he's really "wasting time" there, and her detached attitude, blatant self-honesty and lack of conflict aversion make her something like a kindred spirit for Katz. He doesn't really have anything to lose by sticking around, especially since she seems to have the willpower to actually fight him on equal terms. He's basically having a fun time being rude boobs, and he'll probably burst out of her chest like one of those cakes with the showgirl inside 70 years from now when she kicks the bucket, and be able to keep doing whatever he feels like.

Kuu does look somewhat comfortable if we move away from the "Let's Become One" part. I imagine most people could benefit from therapy.

I wonder if they have a concept of discretion, or they're gonna start eating people in plain view. They don't seem bothered by Jou seeing that.
