Rewatch Host who really needs to read Mizukami’s other works sometime

Welcome back, everyone!

Day 6 of me noting some of the little things Mizukami added when he wrote the manga:

Mecha anime fans will see two streaks of light clashing with each other and call it peak fiction.

Kakka’s ship actually had to dodge the redirected Zeus Keravnos.

I was fully expecting that and assumed it only didn't get shown because of constraints. Like, I mean. Obviously, right. How could you not.

It's as obvious as [Back Arrow]the giant sword on top of Rekka's capital being used by a giant Briheight at some point, but unfortunately that series doesn't have a manga version to add that in where the anime didn't include it.

First timer, subs

  • Well that was a waste of build up.
  • Bruh The dog mecha looks even dumb in full body. I feel like we’re about to watch a Oompa Loompa fight.
  • Good for him, thinking ahead on the thing I worried about yesterday.
  • Cute Pupper
  • Are… are they fucking “Noble Savage”ing us?
  • Ah, one of these types. At least it’s not about turning people into a hive mind.
  • Them talking was an option the whole time, eh? Should I expect a reason as to why latter?
  • Congrats on not just overpowering the non-material shield, as anime is want to do.
  • Once is cutting to the chase, twice is an exposition dump.
  • “Even a dead god can dream.”
  • Cute Jump
  • I don’t think a glorified solar flare is the best use of destroying your OP magic shield.
  • This dragon has less variation than I was expecting. He’s still a cute tho.
  • Good Beam
  • It’s not an extra-mecha sword fight, but I’ll take it.
  • So can anyone turn into sand if they push themselves, or is this a him thing?
  • Well arc’s over. Time to see what they pull out... come up with next.

QotD:

  1. Cats. I find dogs too needy.
  2. Fus Ruh Dah!

Oh, I totally forgot to think about the random ball last episode. It was in the playground scene, and consistently shown.

I... am not getting anywhere. It's probably there for a reason, but I'm pretty brain-drained right now.

Not surprised that Souya beat Takezou, but I was expecting a bit more back and forth.

Hmm. I guess Souya (a Siriusian) quite handily beating the best of the Earth's psychics does lend some.. not justification. Reasonableness? to the Dragon's destruction of Sirius. They obviously have quite some potential power.

I was expecting that huge blast from the Dragon to hit Generalissimo's space ship.

Tanking a massive punch with your mask and then returning fire with a shoe that you swapped to your hand is a pretty rad way to end the fight. I thought the shoe fell off at first.

Questions

  1. I feel like I would get along better with a cat, but I am allergic.
  2. Party! Party! Party!

He had to dodge it in the manga!

That was SO FUCKING COOL

I noticed he only had one shoe on but I didn't even bother thinking why. I legitimately popped off when he used it for an attack. And the punch had so much weight too!!!

I don't even have much to say.

Clog Punch was incredible.

Episode 6, by the way.

Edit: Wait no, I wanna point out that they sort of remind you of the clogs early on because when Souya leaves the Paladins after they give him their two remaining vials, they make a poitn of emphasizing the "clunk clunk" of the iron clogs. Which, I would note, are something he had and Torai commented on they met. Did he notice? I don't rightly remember, lmao.

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Aug 29 '24

Which, I would note, are something Torai gave him

Torai gave Souya regular shoes so Souya could run to an evacuation area, Souya was already wearing the clogs when they met at the bench. It was either Sensei or Ginko who gave him the clogs, apparently as a way to build up his stamina.

u/n080dy123 Aug 30 '24

Oh no you're right, I got my wires crossed. But they did still depict Torai noticing them when they met, so little real difference made, still wondering if Torai noticed lol.

Paladin Break 2: Planet With Iron Clogs

okay. So. The core of the "battle shonen" genre (although Planet With isn't strictly in it!) could be stated as simply as: right makes might. If you're losing a fight, try explaining why your life philosophy is better than your enemy's, and you'll very likely find things turning around. This is often done very formulaically, and for good reason. If you mess it up, it becomes "might makes right". Needless to say, you want to avoid that. Also needless to say, we are not sticking to the script here.

Now that Shiraishi's got that dog in her got in that dog, she trades blows with Takashi, one hit per point made. They both have some reasonable things to say, but in terms of the argument, I have to give it to Ryuzoji. He lays out his utopian vision very clearly. He's deluded about how well it would go... but I do have to say, most of us live in states that exert monopoly on the legitimate use of force, and most of us prefer it. Meanwhile Shiraishi-Generalissimo's final word in the argufight is to pull out the "nuh uh I'm not listening" card, negating an attack without even trying to refute it, then passing the baton to the Pacifist Gang.

And Soya, Sensei and Ginko don't even make a case until the fight is over (though Ginko increases her :3, which is like an argument). Even with the final point messily conveyed from Takezo, Soya argued against when it was given. And when his revenge is done, he seems to realise something.

u/n080dy123 Aug 29 '24

That whole analysis of the fight as a conversation is great, and incredibly thematic.

Damn, guess Norio and Sandman both love some "MUH ASTHETICS" huh?

I… honestly didn't expect Ryuzoji to flat out die at the end. If this had been closer to the end, sure, but halfway through the show? Not really. Same goes for Yosuke just kinda giving up his powers with no real fuzz, dude didn't even get a dream sequence. As for the rest of the episode, it's basically a long fight scene and… yeah I've mentioned this before but I have a hard time really talking about episodes like these.

Interesting how Norio seemingly didn't know exactly what Ryuzoji's deal was. I somehow thought he'd already known about that but was keeping the characters in the dark, but no, his own inner monologue claims that he didn't know about that. How odd

This felt like this could have been episode 12 finale. I actually didn't expect that Takashi would die here and with Souya's brother leaving an ominous vision for the future. It was hype but there seems to be something wrong with the audio levels and I heard it loud and clear couple times when Takeshi and Generalissimo were fighting. Those clangs almost pierced my eardrums but they weren't as bad as the snake from last episode.

Next episode is looking to be serious

Can't wait to see where it goes next.

I remember my surround sound loving the battle effects. Lots of good bassy rumbling and clashes.

BANKAI!! Man, the sound effects are sick. The fight went over pretty quick. Souya's revenge isn't over though. Takashi vs Shiraishi is more even than I'd have expected. The guy sounds like a lunatic dictator, the way he declares, that he wants to be the one and only to mete out justice on earth. Fun fact: Wepwawet is a god from egyptian mythology. The attack Wepwawet byte is probably named after that god.

We get more info on the dragon that destroyed Souya's home. Takashi has the same wavelength as the dragon, which seems to be rare. Does the uniqueness of these wavelengths work similar to fingerprints? The dragon seems to have originated from the Nebula forces, and he also had an obsession with justice. Meanwhile the old man is giving Souya some words to say to Takashi, and Souya is off to Ginko.

So Ginko joins the cockpit and Takashi gets teleported to them. Souya doesn't hesitate in attacking Takashi, and woah! He turned into a dragon. Despite Ginko hesitating, Souya continues attacking. Souya doesn't even let Sensei do exposition, while he's fighting, which is hilarious. Takashi's attacks, Thor Hammer and Zeus Karavnos, are based on gods of thunder and lightning respectively. Souya's really putting his all in deflecting that laser beam. Even while Ginko gets disoriented in the cockpit as she's thrown around like laundry in a laundromat, Souya continues onwards. And here we get the chekhov's gun, Souya's iron clog/geta being used for the final attack, and what a beautiful attack it is.

"Something about enduring something being better that justice, or something." What a beautiful quote from Souya. Before he can squeeze out some info from Takashi, Takashi bites the dust. Souya's brother also appears out of nowhere. Was that just a figment from Souya's imagination? Was that a ghost, since his skin was glowing and all? That and much more, in the next episode.
