Yeah, my guess is Ein, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Oh God I both love and hate this with all my heart.

Ein is my favorite character, he is the Pete Campbell of this show but even more pathetic.

RIP.

lol at Eugene getting all indignant about somebody towing a ship to hide it.

And this is why he is my favorite character.

Why is everyone keep talking about the final boss of the show and ignoring the obvious choice of Ein again?

Oh no, Mika's former hatred of swords was foreshadowing him meeting his greatest nemesis, a sword made out of beams.

McGillis just seems like a dork when it comes to murder machines from the past. He was just excited to see the thing so much he forgot about the order. Hell he is even like "yo Mika isnt that poo poo cool?"

You know, I have been generally happy about Gaelio still being alive but now I had the realization that I am going have to watch him die again.

Man, I really wonder about the end game of this show. I mean the mobile armor stuff has to come into play again right?

I like how they are setting up McGillis' belief in symbols and power to backfire. Yeah, he finally has Bael, but he is so obsessive with Mika's power he has missed that Mika has really started to symbolize a dragon and Gaelio is starting to look more and more like the "true knight" of the equation.

Like I am not really sure who is coming to come out top here, but the narrative is about to be taken out of McGillis' hands especially when the Maiden of Revolution comes into play.

I hope there is a fight between Gaelio and McGillis' Gaelio replacement to determine once and for all who is the best best friend.

I would honestly rather see Rustal get the "pathetic" death more than Iok at this point. Seeing Rustal fall apart would just be way more satisfying for me, I rather have Iok living out there knowing that somewhere that idiot is still being a huge idiot :allears:

Mika surviving as a broken weapon that can no longer be used fits the show thematically, so yeah I think there is a good chance he survives.


Darth Walrus posted:

And if they want a 'ray of hope' ending, they'll have him move away from the death-wish that's been plaguing him all season and let him start to find some meaning for himself as something other than a killing machine. A bunch of other Tekkadan folks are so going to die, though. My money's on Eugene for one of the more spectacular ones.

Eugene is going to die doing something that was almost really cool.

Well, someone has to survive to tell the story.

Yeah, I can't wait for that last shot where Granddad Iok is telling his kids how he was the lone survivor of the Massacre on Mars.

I would rank this show Good instead of OK because of three things
1. McGillis
2. Gaelio
3. Carta's army of McGillis look-a-likes

It must suck to be a Char clone, you have this whole distinct personality, life goals and dreams, but you just happen to have blonde hair and occasionally wear a mask and everyone just looks skin deep. They never get to know the real me.

The formula of someone wearing a mask and being blonde, yeah you can totally do a lot with that.

Tae posted:

Being blonde was never a requirement though?

They don't even wear masks sometimes. That is why its kinda silly.

e: basically I agree with Wark Say. Like Char Clones are of course visual references to Char, but that visual reference is usually just used as a quick way to inform you of the sorta role this character may have in the story, it doesn't necessary mean its a commentary on that character type every single time. People wearing masks are just cool.
