>like the used Nothung models all were?
What the hell, Nothungs never had cockpits in the head.
>>
I think a finale movie is inevitable at this point. With 5 episodes left, they will wrap the conflict between human and festum on earth. At the end, all humans and festum will unite and prepare for the arrival of Polaris. Cut to the movie andit will be shown that Polaris is the biggest threat and want to assimilate Earth.

You should rewatch it.
The closest to the head we've had cockpits located are the TSXs. We don't know exactly where the Zero's Cockpit is though.

Expect lots of references.

I wonder if there's a canonical explanation of Maya's lack of assimilation scares. She was close to retirement at the beginning of Exodus after all.

If there isn't an in-story reason, I guess it's just a way to indicate that she's basically the safest major character in the series.
>>
>>13561035
She's probably one of the most laid back characters in the series who doesn't seem motivated purely by selfish emotions.

High SC, and she minmaxed dodge and quickscope, so less likely to get hit, unlike Kazuki "lemme poke it with my lance" Makabe. Sniping is pretty low risk when you've got her moves.
>>
>>13561058
You're not alone, but that just means we get more meat to the plot and action. The time skips can get a little overwhelming at times.
>>
>>13561058
Not really, but when I rewatched it I was surprised how fast paced the show is in general, especially Exodus. I remembered it as such a slower show.
>>
>>13561069
That's because Azure spent almost 8 episodes on some slice of life stuff so you get thrown off when they barely have that show up in Exodus.
>>
>>13561065
There's just so many new plot threads starting at once while not completely resolving all the known ones. As well as interesting interactions that we don't get to see because of it. No Misao or Koyo interactions with Soushi, Ai just being glossed over, Chizuru and not-Yumiko, and a lot of other stuff.

Ai is dead, why you fags can't just stop forcing shit and realize that no one except Seri never came back and never will.

There's plenty of time for Soushi-Misao-Kurusu stuff, just look at how the final DA eps were paced, the priority was obviously getting meds for Soushi.

Chizuru isn't that relevant as much as people want her to do something or get with Fumihiko

Yumiko will probably disappear as soon as Miwa completes her task with Altair, Ashoka granted her more time just to keep Miwa calm

>he gets in Mk. Raison and punches Hester like Idun did with Bartland
Beautiful
>>
So Idun has been coming up a lot thanks to his spiritual successor Greg-core-y, it made me wonder about something that seems a little debatable.

Being a Master-type, he was just using the appearance of Alvis2's core back in DA, right? I've seen people act like he literally was the core, but going by Mjolnir they should be separate entities. Idun even has the older appearance to set him apart.

All we know is the island was completely overrun by Festum, no human in sight. That'd make the core completely defenseless and open to assimilation, so Idun could just lie in wait until someone else arrived as we saw. Unless I'm forgetting something, I'd assume the actual core was long gone to the hivemind.
>>
>>13561433
NO, I mean 3.
Billy's Ariel, Johnathan's Gabriel, and Narain's
They weren't recovered by the island, but they were still operational.

You know there's a reason they didn't show Seri last episode right?
Oh right, that's just unfounded speculation.
>>
>>13561532
Not that annon, but the circumstances are completely different.

Ay's last scene was of her being shot down by Jonathan, that was on Ep 21. On episode 22 we were told that only one fafner from the Perseus company (Narein's one) returned. She's MIA, but it's not really a stretch to believe that she's dead.
>>
Ai is alive and probably she is the key to stop Jonathan.

>>
>>13561540
As someone who doesn't have much of an opinion on Ai, I think there would've been more of a dramatic push if she had died. That's how Fafner rolls.

But who knows what could happen. For all we know she could show up again half-dead for the NUN to use against Johnathidun.
>>
>>13561540
She gets shot well above where the cockpit was. We don't see her mech even go down.

Only one Perseus Fafner returned, but as another anon said, there are obviously two other intact Perseus Fafners when Jeremy makes that announcement of the survivors.

So yes she's MIA, and while it may not be a stretch, her absence is clearly designed to create some dramatic tension.

Rewatching the last few minutes of yesterday's episode, god damn the sound direction is amazing. They have you thinking it's the standard few seconds of the intro to the ED then that guitar kicks in.

Have to say I think this was the best single episode of an anime I've seen all year.
>>
I just finished rewatching the first episode of the first cour. In light of what Hester said on episode 22 everything fucking changes.

Narain wondering about why the Festum are suddenly showing interest in a base that is just for supplies and help relief that they have ignored since forever, changes from "the Festum learned about how human lives works" to "Hester said something to Vagrant that made Roadrunner attack that base."
>>
I don't know if this has any value to anyone, but I took about 1,500 caps during my Exodus rewatch last night. It's almost all Maya, Canon, Soushi, and Kazuki, plus some other things when they interested me. 720 Horrible, sometimes capped with the subs on when the dialogue amused me or if I was just too lazy to turn the subs off for a cap.

Mjolnir is never Akane, but in some ways might as well be since they assimilated her emotions and even sends a message from Akane sometimes, so it's not suprising people get even more confused than usual with the 2nd core who we know little about.

>Maya's Dads sugar momma.

>>13562052
Yeah Idun "was" the core.

Master-type = a mind that got assimilated that for whatever reason created a fanboy Festum who likes to cosplay as them.
It's obvious that a Master-type need not be based on a human mind because the thing that was the template for Idun was a Core-type, which is a type of Festum.

Slave-type = a mind that got assimilated, but through a stroke of luck/power of friendship, manages to pull themselves back into existence, but gets a slew of Festum power when they do becoming something much more powerful than they were before.
I'd assume a Slave-type doesn't have to be human, but that's just an assumption.

She was supposed to be a perfect pilot, given her father's attempt to take her with him to pilot a Salvator, and his whole anger with the island for deliberately playing down her true piloting potential. Likely because he himself had probably augmented her DNA while she was still in the iron womb while Chizuru was preoccupied with Yumiko.

It was mentioned a few times that she exhibited a higher potential than Kazuki in certain areas, including her ability to quickly adapt the gunnery skills of others and her quickly becoming a deadeye. Even her altered state was ideal; muted emotions, always calm (something that also helped slow assimilation rates; all the hot-headed ones ended up with an accelerated decline), and relatively cold logic while in that state.

>>13561871
Follow Me transitions directly into Shangi-La during a climactic moment.

Keith is forcibly assimilated by Jonathan in a manner similar to this dude, and while half-insane and on a rampage, is taken out by Maya.

Dustin dies while Billy cries.

As the Island has become much more than what it once was, taking in all those refugees and defectors, they finally decide to show unity by changing their uniforms and everyone involved with Island Operations now wears the ED longcoats, including Narain and his group as well as Misao.

At the end of the series or the movie, Misao mates with Miwa and their child represents Life, and brings about the full circle of what had happened to Japan and its citizens.

At the end of the series or the movie, we learn that Chizuru is also pregnant; and that Fumihiko is the father. Cue wedding. This also serves to show the growth of the Island Mir has become strong enough to undo the blessing the original Festum granted to the Japanese.
>>
>>13561940
I don't know; Hester's probably hoping that their new Salvator could take over the pilot and leave nothing but a living CPU obedient to their whims.

Not realizing that Maya always had high compatibility with Fafners and was made to be able to handle Salvators; given her father's insistence to try and take Maya to become a Salvator pilot after uncovering the truth that her stats were really high for a pilot.

Maybe. It looked like Aviator might've gotten beamed up. Also both RR's and Aviator's cores look identical so it's sorta uncertain which one he stabbed--Aviator was in possession of two Mirs.

I'm not sure either way. I personally hope Aviator is dealt with.

The final battle is probably going to involve Walker, Crawler, Vagrant, and Raison on the Festum side if Aviator/Roadrunner is dead

If Aviator is dead, Vagrant and Raison will probably be fighting Sieben, Nicht and Sein, Walker will probably be a joint effort by most of the Island Fafners to finally put that fucker down, and Zero will get Crawler all to itself because Zero needs something big to just wail on to be worth taking it out of retirement

>Who's confirmed dead after that fight?
Heinz and Walter, and likely one Azazel. Ai is MIA
>Whats up with the Space Godzilla?
During the Heaven's Door Operation, the NUN's also sacked Atlantis and stole their Mir fragment. Then they coaxed it into manifesting an Azazel, Vagrant--that most likely happened during muh triple plan. Hester uses him to lead the other Azazels to targets they don't like.
As of this episode, he asimilated Johnathan, and is probably gonna use him to steal the Raison and BTFO some NUNS.

>>13563002
>being wrong
>telling others to use critical thinking
Epic!
>>
>>13562984
We don't really have definite answers. You've seen as much as we have.

Regarding Mitsuhiro - yes. Or close enough as to make no practical difference.
Raison - the Funf was the base. The rest would have been built by the Neo UN.
The main question from the fight is the status of Ai. Everyone else survived, though Narain and Soushi were the only ones who weren't either captured or put out of action.
Space Godzilla? Vagrant - an Azazel with the power to supply information to both Festum and the Neo UN via satellite communications. Seemingly subordinate to the Prometheus Core. Remains to be seen exactly how that plays out. Not friendly to the Nuclear Granny at least.
>>
>>13562984
Oh wait, by Space Godzilla did you mean Vagrant.
Oh that's different.

There were 3 Alvis'. One we follow, One that was blown up, One that Hester raided for it's tech and killed everyone on it.

Vagrant was sync'd up to the core of the 3rd Alvis somehow and the Nuns had been using it to spy and lead Festum around. They were less in control of Vagrant and the Third Core than they thought and now they're making their move to FUCK NUNS UP.

>>13563005
Eat shit. Vagrant looks nothing like Space Godzilla so it's an easy mistake. The other 3 are accurate.

At this rate I really hope the whole NUN federation just up and collapses. It's not just Hester that's terrible, it's the whole system teaching people that change is bad and lives are expendable because it doesn't fit their idea of humanity. And even if they're not changed, they're apparently worth sacrificing because muh festum Azazel needs to be nuked.

>It's not just Hester that's terrible, it's the whole system teaching people that change is bad and lives are expendable because it doesn't fit their idea of humanity

The plight of the Nuns IS understandable. It's taken around 3 decades for any decent coexistence between man and Festum to be evident. Meanwhile the majority of humanity and a good portion of Earth's land masses have been destroyed.

They're supposed to follow the lead of the the secret traveling island nation that hid technology, leaked info to the enemy and refused to share resources? Hester's a bad apple and her personal squad of morally ambiguous pilots are fuckers as well but most of the Nuns have no reason to believe any different. That was the whole point of Akira meeting the guy who tried to bomb the island. Most of the Nuns take info at face value. If the boss lady says those guys are Festum and need to be nuked, then they get nuked. Are you going to be the guy who doesn't and risks a very personal experience with a golden alien which might get people killed? The Nuns have no HOPE and the way the Islanders fight isn't sustainable for large populations. I mean for fucks sake, Miaso wants to eat fucking Miwa. Cohabitation isn't easy and the only reason the the Islanders even did so was as a last resort back when most of Japan was fucking slag. Hester's the one who needs to go, other members of the Nuns seem more open but if you're vocal you get brain washed or killed by her hitmen.

Do you think Kazuki just doesn't realize that half the island wants his dick, or that he knows it and ignores it because he doesn't want to leave things unfinished in three years?

That's part of Global Rule #6. Is rushing to someone's defense really a quality post for Fafner? Saying how people shouldn't be mean in how they respond on an Anonymous imageboard? You don't NEED to prove to random strangers on the internet how they should behave. Just ignore obvious shitposting.

Have you stopped to consider how perfect Canon is?

When we first met her, she was a monotonous puppet who only followed orders and didn't have any desires or place value in her individual existence. Even in the last few episodes of DA, she's very stilted and formal and inclined to follow orders (you can see that in her interactions with Youko and... in learning the Goubain dance from Mamoru). The only individual desires she articulates are to pilot with everyone and to call Youko "mom."

By Exodus, she's blossomed into a vibrant, energetic, expressive young woman, who's gotten so comfortable and familiar that she accidentally calls Youko "mom" on the job. She has casual conversations about deeply personal subjects with Maya, and stands up to Soushi and her own mom. Sure, she spills her spaghetti whenever Kazuki's around, but she's a completely different person. It's amazing. She went from having no individual will, to having a will so strong that she gained time-travel powers and accidentally got the island stuck in a rut where her subconscious wish could be fulfilled. And then the girl who was willing to blast Tatsumiya to pieces so she could disappear, disappears to stop Tatsumiya from getting blown to pieces.

Sakura, Kenji, Hiroto, and Seri had great development that gets overlooked too. But Canon is the true miracle of Fafner.

Not disagreeing with your conclusions, but I feel you're overlooking how much she develops in DA.

The best thing about her arc is how she essentially drives it herself. She wanted to belong. She wanted to fix herself.

The others support her, and are there for her missteps (like when she prepares to fire on Sakura) but nobody is there to teach her Very Special Lessons. They leave it to the island and her own will.

I'd like to see Soushi, Kazuki, and Maya get a power-trio of blessings where Soushi is pain (the present), Kazuki is ??? (the future), and Maya is something related to memory (the past).

No need for an update when I left her out on purpose.

Ai's not confirmed dead, and we didn't see her die on-screen.

Seriously, THIS is what we see - Jonathan shoots, barely grazes Ai's Fafner, and it falls down, completely intact. Not even an explosion.

If she never shows up again in the show, then she gets crossed out, but until then, not dead.

I think this is where the confusion is coming from.
It's obvious that Ai got fucked up somehow between Jonathan shooting her and the recovery by the island.

Now it depends on whether Ai is meant to

or
>Go even farther on the hatred ride when he realizes that she's dead

>>13564308
Because Narain's machine was combat capable?

Even if the pilot isn't there, the head seems to house the sensors. Her machine wouldn't be able to fight without major repairs.

That's not really what you do with "barely grazed" and "completely intact" units.

Nobody on Tatsumiya cares about them anyway.

>>13564352
It's a stretch all the way and back to the sun, it's not a "little bit". I don't give a shit if she's alive or dead, but until we get a confirmation I think we should call her as MIA, like any reasonable military organization does in this kind of cases.
>>
>>13564352
>Johnathan
>He's gone

Some part of him obviously remains otherwise Vagrant wouldn't have held a conversation at all and filled him in on the hate train.

Heck, the more an argument for Ai being alive because if Johnathan was just supposed to be dead then they'd have obviously just fragged her retard. If she's alive, she's alive so she can reach what bit of Johnathan still exists.

Also Gabriel and Ariel were recovered by the Nuns, which is why they're listed as missing by the Island. Ai's wasn't.

The anon is suggesting that's all the Perseus mechs that made it through the battle, which is blatantly false. Just because it wasn't recovered, doesn't mean it's not still operational.

My feeling is that Ayy possibly tailed Argos's subs, and possibly got intercepted/recruited by Burns to help with his coup.

Now that shit's fanfiction right there. She's either dead or her escape pod was recovered by the island.

It's impractical and illogical. A single pilot, tracking and keeping up with Subs designed for rapid escapes. A pilot running on empty for anti assimilation drugs. Who would be picked up on radar.

She would be death before that. She was running low on blockers, her machine was damaged and the subs are designed for rapid escapes. That's the reason no one in the island went after the subs. She still could be alive, though.

Billy was in this situation and he kept pace with the sub, granted he didn't have to do the active trackinfg, but it obviously isn't impossible for a Fafner to keep up with a sub.

Kenji couldn't catch up cause he got torpedo'd
>>
>>13564435
I don't understand what you're saying.
I think you're misinterpreting what is being said because you have a brain problem..

Here, let me spoonfeed you because you have a bit of echolalia you autist.

Billy and Johnathan's are listed as missing because they were recovered by the Nuns.
They are shown recovered by the Nuns. That's 2 of the 42.
Then on that handy little screen it indicates that only 1 Perseus Fafner is left. That means the other 39 were destroyed.

The 1 surviving Perseus Fafner is Narians.
We know that 21 Military personal survive. Those aren't all pilots

So it's stated by that Ninety percent of the Perseus Pilots were killed. That's roughly 37-38 of the Perseus pilots. If we include Johnathan and Billy into the figure because they're assume dead and not AWOL, that means with Narian only about 2-3 pilots survived. If the island KNOWS they're AWOL that means only 2 pilots survived and one has to be Narian.

Do you understand now?

>>13564455
Basic logic. You don't build slow subs when fighting mind reading aliens that'll chase you, and you don't build slow subs that won't make sure you're out of explosion range.

>>13564466
Because you leave some Fafners out to cover you if the enemy pursues. Once safely out of range they'd probably dock.
>>
>>13564477
Billy's situation is completely different form Ai's one. His machine was intact, because he didn't see actual combat, he just talked to Dustin, he wasn't on "pursuit" just following his brother's fafner. This is right there in show, how can you miss it?

Why would Billy be playing rear-guard?
>You don't build slow subs
Ok, so you've just got speculation


>That means the other 39 were destroyed.
No it doesn't, the screen only suggests that 1/42 Perseus mechs made it to Tasumiyajima. All we can safely gather is that 41 mechs are unaccounted for, as far as the island's knowledge goes.
>only 2 pilots survived and one has to be Narian.
Hey, looks like there's room for one more survivor.

>So it's stated by that Ninety percent of the Perseus Pilots
Jeremy doesn't say "pilots" she says "Ninety percent of Perseus Company is dead"

And by the number up above, Perseus Co. is 42 Fafners, and 320 soldiers. There were more than 42 pilots as shown by the previous episode. I'm not suggesting that all 320 members of Perseus were pilots, some of them were in Narain's command center too, but more than 38 Fafner pilots died. You don't need to die inside the mech.

On that screen it says 21/320 That's actually right at 94% of Perseus Company.
I doubt it's a stretch to assume she rounded down.

I don't mind the name calling, and I know what's being said, it's just inaccurate.
>>
>>13564576
>You don't build slow subs
>Ok, so you've just got speculation

Not him, but subs for rapid escape are a thing in Fafner too. RoL is a prime example of this.
>>
Has Mitsuhiro just become Idun?
>>
>>13564576
>Why would Billy be playing rear-guard?
Yeah especially if the Peseus people are so hated, I'd doubt most of Argos people would like to have even a "spy" watching their backs.
>>13564617
Well, not Idun, but looks like a Master type
>>
>>13564598
Not him, but the escape sub in RoL is never referred to as high-speed or rapid at all.

Just checked the OVA, and the sub moves quite slowly, slower than the TSXs, and I also checked the entire sub package.

It just says escape sub, nothing about speed
>>
>>13564649
Really? Well, blame it on my shitty memory. Point taken.
>>
>>13564617
Where does the name Idun come from anyway?
>>
>>13564576
>Why would Billy be playing rear-guard?
Because he needs to stick by Dustin otherwise someone might just shoot him. And Dustin WOULD play rear guard and Dustin would order Billy to stick by him.

>Speculation
The fact that you're arguing that they'd just build slow subs is stupid. The fact that you think Ai could have magically chased them without being detected and getting gunned down is worse.

>No it doesn't
Yes it does. It's the post battle estimation of damage. Besides the three Fafners we know were recovered, there's no reason the Nuns would bring any others back. Why go out of the way to capture models you have already? If you're still pushing the whole "NO AI CHASED AFTER JONATHAN" you need to let go of your fan fiction. If she was even keeping close tabs on Jonathan after he shot her she'd have shown up when he grabbed Maya

And the semantics of whether military staff or military pilots survived is irrelevant because in either case there's enough margin of survival for Ai to have survived. The other nameless and faceless grunts don't really matter.

Ai's dead or on the island.

Not necessarily the NUNs on the whole. Why not try and rescue an ace pilot to help with your coup if you could somehow manage it?

I'm not even pushing the thing about Ai tailing, that's just a "feeling", as I already said.

>she'd have shown up when he grabbed Maya
or maybe she had to fight some other enemies, or her mech got decommissioned and she's chillin out in the ocean?

Regarding subs, I'm not saying I think they'd build slow subs, but it really doesn't matter how fast the subs are when Festum can teleport.

Your feeling is ridiculous though. There are so many factors against it.

These are all the things that need to have worked for Ai for your feeling to make sense.

1. Sustained only minor damage from Jonathan's shot
2. Sustained only minor damage from the fight with whatever Nuns and Festum would have to have "preoccupied" her during Jonathan's blind siding of Maya.
3. Have either maintained some form of tracking on Jonathan to know where he was or when he was departing despite whatever force that was keeping her away when he attacked Maya
4. Decide to pursue the Nun forces by herself upon realizing that Jonathan was with them.
5. Be able to continue piloting for an unknown amount of time in pursuit despite running empty on Assimilation blockers
6. Go undetected by the hostile Nun forces as she pursued for an unknown amount of time
7. Stumble upon or be discovered by non-hostile, non-Hester affiliated elements of the Human Army.

Also

That's just pushing it.

There are so many leaps and suspensions of logic that have to be made for that to occur it'd actually do more damage to Fafner than anything else.

Well I was watching episode 1 to rewatch the first season, and the lines will be subbed fine, and then certain lines there's no subs. And it doesn't seem like a technical fuckup, because when I go back it's the same line, which means the line just plain isn't subbed. It happened I think 6 times in the episode, 1 of which being in the next ep preview.

I should note this is the Philosophy-Raws release, but despite the name it does actually have subs, you just need to have MPC enable native embedded subs or whatever it's called.

Stop using shitty codec packs. Uninstall everything, and just download mpv or MPC-HC and use their internal filters. Xy-VSfilter doesn't work fine with PGS subs (the ones from BDs)

1. Sustained only minor damage from Jonathan's shot
Which it looks like she did
2. Sustained only minor damage from the fight with whatever Nuns and Festum would have to have "preoccupied" her during Jonathan's blind siding of Maya.
Conceivable, she's taken very little damage all season
3. Have either maintained some form of tracking on Jonathan to know where he was or when he was departing despite whatever force that was keeping her away when he attacked Maya
Mech has IFF tags
4. Decide to pursue the Nun forces by herself upon realizing that Jonathan was with them.
Possible cause romance stupidity
5. Be able to continue piloting for an unknown amount of time in pursuit despite running empty on Assimilation blockers
This is where it gets tricky.
6. Go undetected by the hostile Nun forces as she pursued for an unknown amount of time
She's probably familiar with the effective radar range on NUN subs
7. Stumble upon or be discovered by non-hostile, non-Hester affiliated elements of the Human Army.

Do the Exodus BDs just only have jpn subs then? I know some shit gets released with all of it.

I missed this.

The Japanese Fafner BDs don't come with eng subs. What you find of nya are rips of the Japanese BDs muxed with the subs/dub from the official English release (Funi). That's is why RoL didn't have subs. It was never officially released in English.
>>
>>13564876
No, he's right about that there's a few raws of things that actually have English embedded on release, not muxed after the fact. It's pretty uncommon though.
>>
>>13564882
Yes, but we are talking about Fafner here, and with those that's not the case. There are some series/movie that are indeed released with English subs in Japan, like Unicorn was.
>>
There I did what you said and that fixed it.

Now I just have to remember how to make MPC-HC not say PAUSE in the corner of my screen when I pause and such. I've done it every time before.

>>13564895

And all the Godzilla movies in that giant boxset they put out in Japan.

Though the subs were in some movies mistimed.
>>
>>13564882
>>13564869
I'm pretty sure the Japanese release of the Love Live movie had English subs embedded I think there's an ANN article.
>>
>>13564876
Complete English collection fucking when?
>>
>>13564903
Scratch that, I remember. View>Options>Player>uncheck OSD

also on the note of those, it's the only sub i know that correctly spells King Shisa's name.

Huh, odd that Rabu Raibu of all things had that.

>>13564903
>Now I just have to remember how to make MPC-HC not say PAUSE in the corner of my screen when I pause and such

It stays permanently in your case? On my end the little letterbox does appear but goes away after a few seconds.

Rewatching the OP for the thousandth time, I've been wondering about the top shot here with the island's defenses being activated. In an opening with so much content, there's no reason to show that if it's not going to matter somehow.

And then when the Zero Fafner shows up it's clearly on the island, the walls are active, and there's a raging fire in the background.

Suddenly I'm slightly fearing the Zero's return.

Hed he not done so both Maya and Akira would be snatched and the sub probably carried more ballistic missiles for another barrage.

>>
>>13566348
I really like her but all she really did was get sent into an endless spiral in ep1, just generally help out when she and her friends introduced themselves to the island, and get punk'd by a Diablo spawn during the attack on India.

She's not a very good pilot, but I also don't think being a pilot is the important part of her character.
>>
>>13566348
She cried. A lot.
>>
>>13566348
We were told that all of them were "elite pilots that went through rigorous training." But so far all of them have been really shitty at piloting.
>>

>>13566355
She does a decent job keeping up with Maya in 14. She'd probably be a beast in a Nothung.

Maybe simply being alive as a pilot for more than a month gives you the "elite" status in NUN?

Well, of course. That's the kind of standards you got to have when your fucking machines eat every pilot you throw at them, and if it's not the machine, then the enemy will eat them. You just can't win.

Akira fine as a pilot. He simply allowed his boner to force him to pilot a machine he's not optimized for.

I like Akira, but I think you're giving him too much credit.

>>13566592
He's making fun of the anon that said that Ai is shit because she doesn't have a Nothung model. Which is bullshit. Everyone from the NUN is a shitty pilot, a better machine wouldn't fix that.
>>
>>13566576
>>13566592

>Too much credit
Dude is trying to fight using a Sniper Rifle, Knfe and a Pistol.

He fucking charges in as much as Seri when he should be hanging back. He doesn't even have a flight pack to pull maneuvers 5/8ths as sweet as Mayas with.

The Zehn is the most under equipped Nothung Model given to a pilot who doesn't seem to have the temperament for Sniping.

And you're also ignoring the fact that the support staff take Pilots wants and needs into consideration. Akira likely ended up as a Sniper on his request because it meant more alone time with Maya.
>>
>>13566577
Like his sister then? I honestly thought he wasn't that bad of a pilot too.
>>
>>13566577

He isn't and neither is Rina. People just like shitting on him and Rina.

Akira's just likely let his boner get in the way working on his strong suit.

Well, one of them is going to have to become the head of engineering in the future. So that'll probably soften the hatred.

Now will it be Mad Scientist Uncle Akira building Fafzinger Z for his nephew (and converting the Zero into Fafzinkaiser in secret) because he's all alone or will Mama Rina build a mech to protect her kid

I wonder with all that Kazuki/Soushi relationship, are the creators:

But then again Kazuki was a gigantic idiot that episode. Reminder he choose to save Hester over his island, thus leading to Shoko's death and all the bad things and death that is currently happening in Exodus.

All their blood in on your hands Makabe.
>>
>>13566727

>>
>>13566740
>And yet the world paints him as a hero.
Rightly so.
Without Hester the world would be in chaos.
>>
>>13566740
Because an hero doesn't choose whose lives he should save. Even if the saved are gigantic pieces of shit like Hester.
>>
>>13566760
But he did choose. He chose to save some uknown hag and paint a huge target on Tatsumiya instead of helping his friend.

>>
>>13566788
If Shouko hadn't died, Kouyou wouldn't have been as reckless about saving Maya on Alvis No. 2, and Maya would have died. Also, Kouyou wouldn't have become a Festum.

Soushi was playing the long game, trading one mediocre pilot for one great pilot and a Festumbro with impeccable timing.
>>
>>13566799
I dunno, he could still have that problem where Shoko wants to bone Kazuki and he's super jello, thus trying to impress her.
>>
>>13566707
You do realize a Festum had made contact with the main land at that point.

Also I don't think they had weapons on hand.
>>
>>13566813
Yeah, didn't they only have a dinky, unfinished railgun that Kazuki wrecked in the first episode?
>>
>>13563952
He's understanding, I swear to fucking god he better be since almost his entire motivation for fighting was to understand Soushi and even his father and other people.

>>13566696
I'm still waiting for the kids to wear the adults uniform.
>>
>>13566824
Yes, and remember that Kazuki had to have that shit DELIVERED to him at the cost of Soushi's Dad

Early Alvis wasn't nearly as prepared for sorties as current Alvis.

They were probably still recovering from having to sink so much manpower and resources into the L Plan.

They're only able to produce 6 new Fafners during the entire course of DA.
>>
>>13566664
DA could help make a decent thesis on the thoughts and analytics of self and other. Exodus goes beyond that and more about communication.
>>
>>13566832
Not to mention the early Nothung Fafners were many times weaker than now. Whereas these days, they can survive getting hit by worm spheres, the Kazuki had to eject out of the initial death sphere from the very first one.
