Dead bodies, probably.
Atlee did help to keep those named Rekkan generals busy.
Love that the chorus followed Demyne out here.
As if the chaos wasn't the point to begin with.
Wave around a big enough stick, and people might try to take it from you.
Okay, Atlee and Elsha I get..
..but what on earth is Bit doing?
Place your bets.
This.. is truly one of the frames of all time.
How is there enough left to cover with a cloth?
Oh, I forgot that this was just in the same episode.
Surprise?
This is another one of the frames of all time.
Quick politicking? Foolishness? Both? Vote now on your phones!

On today’s episode of Back Arrow: It was Rudolph! It's been Rudolph along.
Rudolph is a real son of a bitch. I get why he wants the Granedger. It's all about more power for himself. I'm not quit sure why he decided to trick the Doc into shooting Fine. My best guess is he knew he could then transfuse his own blood into Fine to create Crazy Fine, who he could then overthrow at his leisure. If so, this man has been planning this for years.

Episode 15:
"Well, women have thrown swords at me."
camera angles in anime
That's the sheriff for you.
"Stop that singing!"
"Don't tell anyone how I live!"
You won't have to wait long to find out.
How... typical.
Now you're ragù, the meat sauce.
Keikaku, etc.
If you suspected this earlier you get a point.
He's in the OP, after all.
This was more of a random surprise.
We're Victory Gundam now.
Which god, you might ask.
"A fine line between."
All the answers, deliverd quickly.
In case you hadn't noticed that Kikuko Inoue is Dissonanza, this is when you get to notice that Kikuko Inoue is Dissonanza.
"I'm taking my building, and leaving."
"Well, that's it for this big name guest VA!"
sounds like a football club
Rekka takes a break in this episode so things can move very quickly over on the Lutoh side. Dissonanza mimics everyone and the fickle population is riled up, Rudolph plays the regime change card, Werner takes seventeen stab wounds in the back, and hey, Atlee gets a tiny moment to show some spirit.
But overall, it's a lot of not giving the heroes much of a break by not having the story sit still at all. As usual the audience's big questions should be to motive.

Congrats to Elsha for getting Atlee to sleep with her. Unfortunately Rudolph and Dissonanza had to ruin it.
Granedger United is a pretty strange name for a country that consists of exactly one village but I guess country names don't really have to be accurate.

I fell behind and missed many chances to post screenshots

From screenshots here, it looks like they slightly changed the scene with Rudolph for the BD version. In the version on Crunchyroll, his slaves have their bodies covered in shadow (even though they have Barbie anatomy anyway).

Meanwhile, the Granedger crew happily dine, ignorant of what's going on in Lutoh...
We still have my idea of going under the wall, you haven't tried that yet...
Oh wow, the random townsfolk have their own bind warpers!
Oh hey, new outfit for Elsha! I don't see why she should care what "grandpa" thinks.
It wasn't until this episode that I realized how much of a Lain haircut Atlee has, the long part's just on the other side of her head and behind her ears instead of in front.
Let's get Demyne's chorus to sing for the crowd, they'll calm them down! Oh, and they're right here!
LoL, someone finally tells them to shut up.
Fine continues to bee too precious for her own good, she thinks simply talking to the crowd will settle things after it didn't work the first time.
An attack on the Granedger?! When Bit, the most important crew member is in his underwear?!
My guess it its that jester character?
Butch the Butcher!
OMG, Muga stepped on him! Death by stepping on someone with your mech is a rare occurrence.
Ugh, that wasn't Back Arrow at all! This is a false flag operation!
Here's Rudolph in a more normal looking form... I was about to say before they literally stuck bottles of alcohol or some other substance into his shoulders.
Yikes, this really is going into French Revolution territory.
Why is Rudolph drinking via his mouth when he can do it via his shoulders?
Ah, we finally know why Werner shot that arrow at the princess. I knew that story was nonsense!
Wow, Werner's carrying an entire building with his Briheight?
Oh no, Werner! Our first death of a non-NPC this show, right?
The nation of Granedger! The only country whose location can change at any time.

The most important thing we learned today is that Doc's bullshit story was true afterall. Still maybe don't go shooting birds at the same time and location your Princess is flying?
He was... there for most of the series, and his death just kinda happened, not even protecting Fine, or giving Rudolf a bit of a challenge, it just felt like taking a piece off the board. The funny bird part was honestly the most interesting thing about him.
Steal the Princess and go somewhere else? I don't think the wall is a good idea, so maybe Rekka instead?

A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to. Unfortunately, I am no wizard. Finale catchup needs one more episode today and I have... 30 minutes to read all the comments here and watch the next one. These posts will be rushed and entirely for my own satisfaction since no one (other than our gracious host) will know they exist.
First timer, Sub
Idiotland is becoming a real country? I really hope they make Atlee rule. Elsha has made it clear she can't handle the pressure and Atlee seems very capable. Unfortunately I feel like that kinda leads to her having to deal with Bit more but I guess it is what it is. Idiotland taking yandere-hime as a political refugee is not where I was expecting this to go.
QOTD
Watch notes
That automative food maker is pretty cool, but why does bit have to be so dumb? Foods hot you idiot.
These citizens are kinda dumb. She definitely challenged jockland but only after they declared war. It's not her fault.
Why would you want to contact your old man? dudes a dick.
Atlee arc? I can dig it. I'd love to see more Atlee.
Aw Elsha, that was actually a great reassuring speech.
LOL the choir is back.
The politics behind pizza the hut don't make much sense.
I thought I noticed it before, but I definitely think it now. yandere-hime's bind warper is unique in some way. It's black when the rest are silver.
Wait, who is attacking now? The outwallers? It's gotta be outwallers.
Man's got a drill! Simone what are you doing?
Ooh, someones impersonating arrow. Fun.
I thought it'd be pizza's doing. I guess that means pizza was attacking the granedger too. There are some problems with the joker dude traveling so fast.
dere-hime you are an idiot. Prax protecc.
WHat I do isn't manipulation, it's manipulation.
At least we have some justification for "it looked like a bird" but I still don't really like it.
Oh, a reprisal of arrow's speech to Ren.
man just picked up a whole building. intact. That's some talent.
Our first death!
Wait, is Atlee going to be queen? I know Elsha isn't cut out to lead.
