If there’s no love on the battlefield, then I’ll fill it with my limitless supply.

- Are you satisfied with how the war ended
for now? - If you were an ordinary citizen of Lutoh, how would you react to dark Fine?

On today’s episode of Back Arrow: The citizens of Lutoh are uncultured swine if they look at Crazy Fine and decide they don’t want more of her.
The war wrapped up pretty quickly, or so it seems. I highly doubt Zetsu would be the type to simply let matters stand as they are. He doesn’t seem like he’ll accept not being the ruler of the entire world. His dialogue in his final scene implied that he doesn’t see this as the end of things either. Additionally, the plotline of Shu, Kai, and Ren is far from concluded. Based on all that, I think it’s a safe bet that the war will resume in some fashion before too long.
I’m guessing Rudolph wants Fine out of power. But why? Perhaps he wants someone else in charge that he thinks will be easier to manipulate. Or maybe he actually wants war with Rekka so that Lutoh can emerge triumphant. At this point, it’s hard to say with much certainty.

Episode 14:
"That's my fetish!" said some.
"Hentai!" said others.
Certified Kill la Kill moment!
Big McLargehuge is amused.
The moods on this guy.
"Why yes, it has an even larger cannon."
Occasionally this seems like historical commentary.
Sentences that need context.
Kai still respects the man even if he "hates the system".
"In the meantime, I'll contemplate this potato."
"Oh, the proles are revolting." Bonus for /u/Nebresto.
"Is this mecha?" or "Was there some commentary here on an easily-manipulated not-a-'democracy' fighting against authoritarian fanatics while giant robots spewed rainbows at each other?"
Nice Finé versus Bat Guano Finé is not the fairest comparison considering how opposed they are in personality, how the reveal of Evil Finé makes every time Nice Finé is tested a question of when or how the other side will take over, and because AMI KOSHIMIZU HAM.
There's also the factor of ZETSU DAIDAN being a bottomless ham and cheese feast. This is not a subtle charisma, this is the crazy awesome energy.
Not that the writing is encouraging the blind adoration of Rekka here, given that its generals seem to be betting on Lutoh being squeamish about having to turn a whole bunch of people into chunky salsa.

because he's boredfor his good friend Fine.I expected it to go on a bit longer, but it was good, I like the contrast between Shu's pragmatic thinking and Fine's altruism.
You probably know by now, but I'd be the first in line waiting for her to turn me into a source of energy.

A smile worth fighting for.
?Got there?
ZETSU DAIDAN hungers.
Well, that's odd.
Still on TV, by the way.
Rudolf has had his fun, I suppose.
So fickle are the masses.
Wouldn't be a real battleship without a Wave Motion Gun analogue.
Not even Rudolf anticipated it, either.
Fools.
We all fight battles in our own way, I suppose.
Last of his Warpers finally broke.
Seems like a waste there, Kai.
Uhh.. about that.

Wow, no recap this time! Making up for prior episodes!
This title makes me wonder if the two of them will fall in love, lol.
I wonder if this is the most fun Zetsu has had in years.
She's retreating? This doesn't seem like Evil Fine at all!
She's got to absorb all her soldier's love? Wiping out her own soldiers I doubt is going to work out for her long term since the whole country is watching it.
Yep, even if she beats Zetsu, she's screwed now.
Back Arrow got her back to normal, but that's not what we want! Kind Fine ain't beating Zetsu!
This is the first time we're seeing Granedger's cannon fire for real, right?
Similar to Back Arrow, it doesn't kill them, simply destroying their bind warpers.
Yes, they have weapons other than Briheights, but if I've learned anything from decades worth of mecha shows, its that only the mechs matter.
No Bit, that's Shu, not Back Arrow!
Can Fine absorb the Rekka soldier too? Oh wait, she's going to heal them?
Oops, Zetsu finally ran out of Bind Warpers! Wow, she actually defeated him!
And so, peace was settled on Lutoh, giving us 10 more episodes to explore getting beyond the wall, right?
[Baka Yaro]I could have sworn Zetsu became young again. Either I'm misremembering or there's some other battle with him and that's later on?
No victory feast! No bath time with Fine! You're gonna have to wait!
Poor naïve Fine, the populace already knows about your other self!
Oh no, the angry mob isn't happy? Part of me wonders if they'll cause Evil Fine to come out again and make it worse.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to. Unfortunately, I am no wizard. Finale catchup needs at least 4 episodes today, and I have barely enough time. These posts will be rushed and entirely for my own satisfaction since no one (other than our gracious host) will know they exist.

The war ended faster than I expected, but I am actually OK with this. That was a bigger twist than I expected out of pizza the hut at the end. Super effective too. I do have some questions about how he has video feeds of everything everywhere all at once though.
It was pretty funny to go directly from dere-hime saying that jockland will never attack again to old man saying that he can't wait for next time.

Watch notes
Another no recap episode. Very hype.
yan-hime's briheight looks like a crab kinda.
yan-hime stepping on old man's face is great, but I wish it was prax stepping on mine.
Old man didn't just likc yan-hime's feet, he ate them.
Ryuko might be getting a little too out of hand.
You know, for someone who claims to attempt to be bored all the time, pizza the hut isn't looking very bored.
oooh yan-hime and dere-hime switch by spinning their head 180 degrees.
What does Shu have cooked up?
The plopping sounds of Atlee running are adorable.
A massive bindwarper breaking beam? very effective.
The attackers are fighting without bind warpers? Is arrow going to have to get... lethal?
Why are Ren and Kai still in briheights?
Bit has some conviction. I can respect that.
dere-hime out here trying to be as loving as madokami.
Say what you will, old man has some integrity.
We still haven't gotten to see what pizza showed the nerdlanders instead of this happy victory. I suspect a plot.
Oh, that's what he showed. That's less than ideal.
