TerminusEst13 posted:I would've gone with a gridiron joke for Gridon instead of changing his name to Ornac, but oh well; everything else about the episode was incredible. Pierre was magnificent in every way, and that transformation sequence was top notch. Especially the boxing bell ringing. Except Ac-orn -> Orn-ac is the same transformation from Don-guri to Guri-don. It's basically putting the first syllable last. As for the Acorn/Pinecone thing, I'm thinking it's because they're both super common fruits (in a botanical sense) that grow on trees. They're really only missing Chestnuts for common Japanese nuts.

Fred is on posted:Even though I'm usually all for localization in subs, something rubs me the wrong way about outright changing character names. It's odd, too, because I totally understand why they did it, and know I wouldn't mind it as much if this were an official translation. Ah, well, I'll just roll with it. Ornac is a fantastically goofy name anyway. And by the way the rest of Team Gaim was laughing, Guridon is equally goofy.

The mango design for Baron's new lock uses hash-mark cuts for the mango design. I didn't realize that that was really a common way to serve it.

Shaezerus posted:Gaim on the other hand is basically the opposite, for me: I had no idea how the hell the show would work with its own, incredibly scattered concept, and was convinced that it couldn't be even remotely serious (for god's sake we have a dude whose belt yells BANANA ARMS), but here we are, just getting better and better every week. Gaim is probably a complete 180 of Wizard in almost every aspect. Gaim's gimmicks seem completely all over the place (Sengoku, fruits, locks) while Wizard's is pretty straight and narrow yet Wizard seems to falter with plot and pacing and utterly squanders the potential of the powers it shows off while Gaim make relatively creative use of everything it shows off and keeps everything going at a decent clip. Gaim is the Anti-Wizard

I guess this is then end of the first Act and poo poo is continuing to ramp up. The mass production suits on on their way and the Energy Seeds will make their premier I guess all those repeat locks won't necessarily be going to waste.

Twelve by Pies posted:The only thing it seems they're dragging out a bit is Micchy trying to hide the fact that he's Ryugen from his brother, but it makes sense in the storyline and I'm sure the reveal isn't going to be too far off now that it seems Yggdrasil is gathering up the belt owners. I think his brother is the only one who doesn't know that Micchy is Ryugen unless his brother's been keeping mum about it the whole time.

Apollove posted:Did Kaito loving join Yggdrasil? It seems like there's actually two (or three if you count Sagara) factions within Yggdrasil. One seeks to protect humanity by any means; the other seeks to have humanity become stronger by fighting the Invess, at any cost just short of the the eradication of humanity itself. The only other thing right now that's a mystery is the "forbidden fruit" that Sagara and Sid and Ryoma know about

So that episode. Sid is still a gigantic scumbag, Micchy is still a two-timing mother fucker and Yggdrassil has the ability to pretty much level the entire area and potentially has a plan to just ship everyone they can on some sort of ark is things get REALLY bad. Nothing about the original premise of Gaim prepared me for this.

Based on the new Overlord, I'm guessing that there'll be an Overlord to correspond to the main Armor types and maybe some invess types as well. The Red overlord parallels to Baron's type, the Green one parallels Ryugen due to the Chinese motifs and additionally to the Green Inves for the same motifs. There'll likely be a Blue one that should parallel the Gaim/Zangetsu armor and the Blue invess.Blaze Dragon posted:For this episode, I'm now even more convinced that Sagara is an Overlord himself, but is rebelling for some reason. What that reason is, I do not know, but I'm so drat curious. Sagara is basically the best character in a series with about five or six best characters, and it's great, and he gets better every episode. Edit:If they're following the Invess colors, then Sagara would be Blue, particularly since Gaim is also Blue, though his main lockseeds are Orange Xelkelvos fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Apr 7, 2014 |

We've still go a final form and a lot of upgrades/character poo poo to go through, people! Part of it is based on interviews from the actress who plays Mai where she said the series was halfway over at that point. The interview was done around episode 17.

Crawfish posted:I'm still banking on DJ Sagara having potential to be leader of the Overlords and therefore potentially the main antagonist of the series if they decide to go that way. I think it's quite clear that the White Overlord is the lead Overlord and Sagara is like NotMai. Both Sagara and NotMai may be Overseers of the Forbidden Fruit and independent of the Overlords and Riders as a neutral faction.

melodicwaffle posted:Way to go for the low-hanging fruit with all these puns, guys. Orange you glad we didn't do a round of fruit puns until now? Since this episode wasn't a total lemon, there's more than just puns to go on about. Frankly, I think the puns are quite peachy, but there's probably a lime that shouldn't be crossed with some of these. On the whole I think they're all pretty grape though.

Here it affects Kouta only and, as much as I love Gaim, in a pretty half-assed way. Everyone else has already developed goals and motivations and Kouta's just...there. The three Lemon fight earlier in the episode was also fun

Potsticker posted:I went back and looked through some of the early posts on Gaim both in this thread and the toku one and its interesting to see the expectations of plots and themes based on the first couple of episodes versus where we've ended up. There's been no armies of invess lead by opposing Rider armies, no parallel worlds or time travel. Though, I suppose since we're not done yet there might still be time. The Other Mai still has no explanation yet, but at this point I'm not holding my breath for anything super exciting. Parallel worlds has come up but via the movie (and the movie tie-in).

Burkion posted:What kind of pissed me off about this episode was three things, one of them kind of a good thing I guess. You could frame it like this: Kouta has no idea what's going on other than they're hooked up to a machine and he's not sure if it would be a good idea to break it since it could do nothing or make things worse. Kaito gives zero fucks about what it is and decides to break it since it seems like the most straightforward option. God those rubber talons are embarrassing. They couldn't even spring for dowels to keep them straight?

King of Solomon posted:Pfft. I don't expect Micchy to be the end boss. I expect him to be ground into pavement within the next few episodes. I just don't really know who the endboss will be, now that the Overlords are done. You think the fruit will control Mai or something? The preview indicates that something's going to go down with that, but I interpreted it as suggesting the fruit would kill her. I'd guess either Golden Fruit Ryoma or Helheim Corrupted Kaito as the final boss.

King of Solomon posted:I should have caught that joke. I really enjoy that series (and have been playing Disgaea 4 again since it came out on Vita this week.) It's most definitely the latter. There'll likely be some sort of reveal in the final set of episodes as to the natures of Sagara and NotMai. My theory: They're "observers" to the whole thing and make sure the fruit is passed down and not destroyed among other things. Sagara helps Kouta because he thinks it would be interesting to see someone like him fight instead of the power hungry that typically end up embroiled in it. NotMai, is of the same opinion on Kouta's disposition, but would rather him not get hurt.

King of Solomon posted:You're right, but I disagree. While we don't know the exact nature of Sagara's character, we know by now his motivations and his methods: like you said, he's an observer who has - several times now - given Kouta power-ups in order to see how the situation progresses. !Mai works on the other end of that spectrum, so to speak. She knows where this bullshit leads and wants to make sure the characters are aware of the weight of their decisions. At this point, Kouta has resolve enough to satisfy Roshuo and (presumably) to stop Micchy. Mai has the apple, and the characters are set on their paths. Roshuo died essentially as a result of her role ending. So she reappears in her "real" form, and leaves with Roshuo. The necklace is the signifier. If they were the same, they'd have the same necklace (or shawl). Given that it's similar, but not the same, if there was a connection, I'd either push time travel shenanigans with Mai or long lost daughter.

It gets 90% of the landing at the end, but it doesn't quite stick it at the very end. It doesn't fall over and collapse at thevery end, but it doesn't land clean either. Of course, the start of the series is a little off as well, but the follow through is worth it.
