I thought that was just Black Chaika's ego talking. Gaz's reaction just seemed to be "oh, huh, so you were the variant who finished the job? Cool." With that in mind, I'd assume all the other Chaikas had programming and... uhh... alterations that would let them accomplish the rebirth in some way or another even if they didn't use Black's precise methodology. Maybe Red Chaika, for instance, would have justified it as ritual cannibalism to obtain her father's strength and fuel her quest for revenge?

She's need to get a hankering for Fayla parts too! The black Chaika's seemed to be way more in the know than the other Chaika's. The other ones had an instinctive desire to gather the remains but their endgame was pretty muddy afterwards. The black ones seem to have a firm grasp of what Gaz really wanted

I hope Freddie finding ever more disgusting ways to resurrect herself is A Thing in this campaign.

Edit: And Akari's completely deadpan "Huh. I guess molting didn't do it." was fantastic.

I'm not sure why black Chaika even needed to be attached to that weird metal frame. It seems like it was a big old ball of flesh held inside the frame which then independently shot out tentacles to absorb Gaz's body parts. What's more, she seems none the worse for the experience so she couldn't have been integrated all that closely into that whole mess. Considering that she didn't explode, I don't think her reproductive system had anything to do with the process. I guess it was probably just in order to make it seem more gross without being explicit?

I don't think Gaz is all that concerned with payrolls, what with the whole 'absorb emotional energy via orbital magic fortresses in order to live forever' thing. He could probably still use an infiltration specialist to deal with all of the inevitable assassination attempts, though.

Apparently there's gonna be an OVA packaged with the BR.

Not gonna lie, it looks like a fanservice episode (why does every piece of promotional art for Red Chaika feature her butt), but after the last episode I'm sure we could use some levity.

Because she's wearing hot pants. She also has side boob windows, if you haven't noticed. The illustrator works for Nitroplus and his speciality seems to be butts.

That was a pretty good episode. A bit too abrupt tho; it's a shame they couldn't have gotten one or two more episodes.

"I give father funeral" is the best line.

Yeah, I'd have liked another episode for pacing and to FINALLY LET FREDRICA DO SOMETHING. God drat, she just keeps getting chumped. But it really was the best way for Gaz to go out, hoist by his own Gundo. And it's nice that Red gets her own life now.

Yeah, this season needed 2-3 more episodes to actually have more of an impact in the end. Niva should have been with the group a little longer and Gaz should have wrecked more poo poo in between. It was incredibly rushed but still an ok ending by anime standards.

Did I call that ending or what :smug:

The bit with Niva having a change of heart did feel kinda asspullish, though. Definitely could have used another episode or two somewhere along the line.

Obviously rushed ending, but it could have been a lot worse. I liked that there wasn't really a big moral to the story in the end. Everyone just did whatever they had to do. Niva's just like "eh don't feel like it Gaz sorry man :geno:" and peaces out forever.

Only disappointment was Gaz's monologue there. He kinda got wiped out before he could say anything interesting (if he had anything interesting to say? It wasn't really clear imo)

Err... felt like I watched the final episode on fast-forward or something.

Was Chaika's "arigatou" the first time we've heard her use that word? My shoddy memory tells me she always used the word "kansha" before her, uh, event. Maybe I'm overthinking.

No I'm pretty sure that's the first time she sounded so fluent in Japanese.

I guess we aren't getting a season 3 and all the shops I've found are totally sold out of the good chaika merch (the frederica chestburster shirt).
