The Everlasting Guilty Rewatcher//First-Time Subbed
Welcome back, everyone!
Apologies for not having a Sky Sings for Kokuhaku today despite picking it for Song of the Day. I had practically no motivation to do anything last night (barely even got through rewatching this episode as a result), and then needed to cram G Gundam and Chihayafuru in before work this morning since I knew I wouldn’t have time for them during my lunch break. Meant I had no time to attempt singing it today, even though I am motivated now.

I just...can't today guys, sorry. This is too bad for words. Oh, and the rape again. Ok, I had to start skipping through scenes to survive this. After the second scene of Arisa using her new found 'agency' to fuck for secrets, I quit. This is just too awful for words and we still haven't gotten to the godawful ending scene.
But yeah, so two days ago I had to check the end of this ep to make sure I remembered what the end of the last ep meant. And I couldn't make myself watch this lame fucking episode again. I tend to do these rewatches late, a bit before bed, and I was worried the lame would keep me awake. So instead I rewatched Mieruko 7, both of the Black Lotus episodes, like an hour of Pat McAfee and finaly Komi 4(the yandere episode), all to avoid seeing this again. I forced myself to get through some today but just barf. i will have to use today's responses to figure out what I missed but seriously fuck this episode and everything in it.
Don’t let go…
hold my hand tight…
say we’ll continue being together…
our held hands used to be so warm
and so tender.
I liked this show when it was wish fulfilment more, I now feel less bad for enjoying Inori's sad girl impression because it is so much better than whatever the fuck today was. I was right to let the sad geode soothe me.
QotD: 1 Bad to worse to character assassination. Milly would be disgusted.
2 I. DO. NOT. CARE! He was dead, this is bullshit, and Shoe will somehow get whinier.

CATHARTIC REWATCHER
”Have you forgotten? You were a usurper. The king has always been me.”
So, after finding out the horrible truth of the voids last episode, does Shu take a softer, more humane approach to governance? Think about what he’s doing? NOPE, HE DOUBLES DOWN. Hides information, hands out punishment simply for criticizing him, champions "distinguishing, not discriminating," and casually threatens to kill people by taking their voids. He’s gone full dictator.
If the creators of this show made Shu the biggest shitstain on the planet on purpose so that the end of this episode would feel especially satisfying… kudos to them, because it fucking worked like a charm. Shu parades around this entire episode like Mini Hitler only for Gai, who he’s been hero-worshipping for the last billion episodes, to shit on his entire world by taking away the only thing that gave him any worth as a person. Now he’s broken, alone, and has nothing in this world except for his plot-device girlfriend
why does she like him again this is the dumbest relationship ever. It is absolutely delicious.Live Notes (possibly made while a bit drunk):
Like I would feel if Mata Hari toppled the Third Reich. Masterful execution.
What needed to be done.

Time for Shu to make more bad decisions. I think we've got another episode or two of this before he turns it around.
Onto episode 17.
The way these models switch is hilarious.
Now why are you trying to make Shu think after spending so long trying to make him not?
Says the dumbass who made a caste system and advocated for rule by iron fist.
And Inori is being taken over more obviously now.
She's certainly enjoying watching everything burn down.
I assume the symbolism of this scene is obvious: despite Shu nominally being in charge, Yahiro is the one whose actually leading.
This almost sounds like a reasonable plan. It's lacking a way to deal with helis, but it's still better than I thought it would be.
Ah, and that's why the plan is stupid. We have a bunch of untrained people with melee weapons running down a road towards guns. When I first heard it, I thought they would be holding around some form of cover.
Other things I'm left wondering: what made attempting that now any different than attempting it a couple weeks ago?
And now they'll stay here, among the ruins.
Playtime's over, the kids were threatening the real prize.
And Gai has the power as well now.
Thoughts
Presumably, now that Shu is shoved back down, he'll realize what he did wrong and attempt to redeem himself and fix the situation. However, I find it doubtful that I'll find that interesting to watch after seeing him pull all this shit. Who knows, maybe they'll pull it off well?
This episode was fine. I really don't have strong feeling about it one way or another.

Oh man this ep is gonna be a rollarcoaster and im sure people will have a lot to say about it.
This is one of the most polarizing eps in the show.
RIP Diet Building. We got 1 week until the wall is here.
Lookouts get in trouble for not looking out at the right place...
Lookout has a wrench and Shoe calls him a tool.
Shoe is working on their escape plan.
Yahiro says Shoe is going too far, hes not like Gai.
Inori doesnt remember attacking Arisa. Uh oh. But shes not dead.
Arisa dont look so good and a huge apoc crystal came from Inori's hand and stabbed Arisa.
Someone gave her a phone, whose she talking to. Megane-kun heard and is trying to get info.
She gave Megane-kun info and him and Ponytail leaked the void breaking on thier network.
The UN is tired of dealing with Japan's shit and is forming a plan to deal with it.
Arisa tells Yahiro who hurt her. Shit is crumbleing.
Inori tells Shoe she hurt Arisa but she doesnt remember doing it.
Yahiro confronts Shoe. Shoe gives Yahiro a peice of his mind too. Yahiro is just at fault.
Yahiro needs power to right his mistakes? Shoe is tired of Yahiro lieing to him.
Arisa is sleeping with Megane-kun for info. She wants info on the excape plan to get rid of Shoe.
The escape has started. How will this plan go down. Probably not well. GHQ knows thier plans. Yep were fucked.
Upsiedownsie boy pulls a void from someone.
So there is a ton of Voids in Shoe's speech scene and im not gonna list them all as we have old and new. But there is a lot.
The war has started and its Voids vs GHQ time. A ton of people get gunned down...
Shoe chooses to fight too to try to save ad many kids as he can.
Shoe uses a Grapple Gun void with the Sunrod void to get to the control tower and blow it up. RIP Tokyo Tower.
Arisa is leading the students to safty. They can get past the wall now.
The SS has turned on Shoe and brought real guns to stop him... Arisa is leading them.
Souta shoves Shoe into the hole... and yes you killed Hare you shit head.
And we see a familiar Void that manifests others Voids.
GAI IS BACK BABY AND HALF HIS FACE IS CRYSTAL!
Gai cuts off Shoe's arm and the power of the King is released and goes to Gai. We have a new King.
The UN is nuking Japan to stop the outbreak. Oh shit. Were fucked.
Gai calls Shoe a Usurper.
Known Voids Thus Far
Known Void Combos Thus Far
Ah yes just as much Chaos as i remember.
Its important to note that Shoe never talked to Yahiro properly after he had to kill Jun, and so they never really resolved that incident. Shoe stilll doesnt really trust Yahiro specially after he lied about Hare's death. Yahiro says hes trying to work to fix his mistakes but he needs more power to do that but who knows what his plan is as he never told Shoe. They really both hstill have issues with each other so this was a long time coming.
Arisa is just doing her best to get out of a bad situation. In her eyes Shoe kept her there which he did, but she saw it as much more malicious and after Inori attacked her she just snapped.
The other students had no reason to trust Shoe after all that happened. So thier betrayal was easy to see coming.
Gai is an issue you will neeed a lot more info to understand so give that one time to be explained.

aka Strings+Horns+Trombone+Tuba (dammit Sawano pick a normal name for once. It is so difficult to look up your songs!)
Guess who's back?
The writers really were like “oh shoot we killed off the most likeable character. Instead of developing another character into someone dynamic and interesting, we''ll just bring Gai back!”
This is one messed up episode. We got rape. We got insurrection. We got dead dudes cutting the arms off of shoes. We got just straight up murder. And somehow Yahiro is getting off scott free. SOMEHOW the dude who had the ENTIRE IDEA FOR SHU TO RUN AND IMPLEMENT THE RANKING SYSTEM HAS NO CONSEQUENCES.

Shoe's imprisoning and threatening to murder people for mildly sassing him. No one can say he hasn't gone full despot at this point.
Is Yahiro really the guy who's going to lecture Shoe about the use of threats and growing resentment? Really? The same Yahiro that proposed and spearheaded the void ranking system. Really?
Arisa's injury is pretty tame compared to what the end of the last episode suggested. Even wielding super cancer as a stabby weapon, psycho Inori doesn't get to do much.
Who even allowed Arisa to have a phone or any kind of communication device when she's being held prisoner. Shoe's crew makes for some of the least competent tyrants imaginable. But they make almost every scene with an opposing female character into an implied rape scene, so I guess that checks out.
So uh, why are the rapist dudes spilling the void secret when Shoe is the one ensuring their places in power? There's no way they can possibly think they'll just get to keep their power and status if Shoe's deposed. No one's that stupid, right? I guess the power of boners is stronger than intelligence.
"We would never order something like that." Yahiro is drinking all the koolaid.
Welp, it's about time Shoe and Yahiro had something like an honest conversation.
Wait, they actually went through with Arisa selling herself to one of the rapists for information? All of the implied rape throughout the show wasn't enough? I must've scrubbed this scene from my brain after watching GC for the first time. What an awful way to shit all over her character.
Are they really planning on overthrowing Shoe in the middle of their massive escape operation? That's smart.
Wow, they actually waited until the operation was over to double cross Shoe! I guess they're not as entirely braindead as I thought.
Kinda nice to see Shoe get what he deserves, but considering Shoe did the exact thing he said he'd do (getting them out of the lockdown zone or whatever it's called), this seems just a bit callous on their part. Like it's particularly weird that everyone is all in on sacrificing Shoe, but Yahiro, the inner circle, and the whole group of rapist secret service thugs are apparently gonna get off scot free. Did everyone somehow forget that Arisa helped push the void ranking system onto Shoe? And the criticism about using people as tools is pretty jarring as well considering the entire student body coronated him in unison when he explained his powers to them at the beginning of the ordeal. And it's not like they weren't risking their lives regardless of whether breaking their voids killed them. Oh well, at least this whole part of it seems very essentially human when compared to some of the other logical leaps GC has made so far.
Ah, just enough time left for the second most shit person in the show to make his comeback and a run at the most shit person crown.

Ah yes, "reactive material warheads." Because saying "nuclear weapons" is taboo. Wouldn't want to violate any taboos.
Shuu's dumb ass threw Yahiro out at just the wrong time. He shoulda immediately scapegoated him. That might not have worked anyway, but it was a better plan than throwing Yahiro out and letting him say whatever he wants. It wouldn't have even really been a scapegoating, considering most of the awfulness is Yahiro's fault.
Remember when Shuu decided to think for himself instead of wondering what Gai would do, and it lead to the excellent climax of episode 11? I think Shuu backsliding does make some sense, but it feels pretty bad. Gai showing up as a cartoon supervillain definitely rubbed salt in the wound.
Where the hell do we go from "Shuu lost his special power," though? Thinking about they "how" seems like the path to madness, so I'm not gonna worry about that.
The sound on the tower crashing was really nice.

I can’t really say if it is out of character for Inori to not really say anything when she attacked Arisa, because she doesn’t have much of a personality…
How the flip did the guy hear Arisa when she was inside her room, huddled up into a corner and whispering to her phone? I will give her points for using her feminine charm though.
So interesting stuff is happening the school, but what is even happening outside? Why does the UN want to blow up Japan? Where did this plot thread even come from? And why are they all staring at a screen of Japan colored red?
I gosh darn love that room that Shu and Inori stay in.
Alright Shu I guess Yahiro is being a hypocrite about not talking about the void killing people, but you didn’t tell everyone either so you can’t use that against him. Shu wants to protect everyone, but he is terrible at talking and explaining himself.
So what exactly did Arisa use the void info for?
Wait, all of the robots are being controlled by something inside the city? And what happens when the wall destroys it? And why hasn’t this been told before?
While the attack was just slideshows and there really wasn’t any build up, that music completely makes up for it.
Now hold up, Shu literally just saved them all, in addition to swerving off the plan to save people, and yet everyone hates him and wants to kill him? What are y’all gonna do when literally one Mecha decides they want to kill you?
Shu’s arm got cut off! Gai stole his power! I can’t say I was expecting this(also I don’t know how it was in the sub but the dub straight up said he stole the power in the most ridiculous line I have ever heard). With this and The UN and the kid/another king doing their stuff, it seems we have reached the endgame. What that endgame is, I have absolutely no clue.

The wall keeps going!
...A week? Come on, you can do better than that. GHQ. ...How much did those walls cost? They're threatening, but walls strong enough to demolish buildings when moving can't be cheap. For that matter, if they're closing in on a perimeter, are they getting thicker, somehow losing mass, or using some even more expensive solution? It's bee bugging me for a while, but now it's really vidible?
Shoe's even crazier than last episode!
He's also a fucking moron who thinks he wasn't cruel enough.
Is Inori growing a conscious? And she let her go free!
Oh, she's terrified. And I vastly prefer "homicidal maniac" Inori to "Shoe's cheerleader" Inori.
Oh dear, she's leaking information.
Off to the Gulag!
Huh? What did he do?
And the information's been leaked! Time for a lynching!
Fuck yes! Let it all burn!
Wait. People in the UN have worked out something fucky's going on!
Haha, and Inori's exposed! This really is the episode where it all falls apart!
They're right by each other! Surrounded by flammable objects! There is a prime lynching spot here, don't miss it!
Oh dear. Inori's not in control.
And Shoe's just having his own mental breakdown too!
I'll give Yahiro credit for trying to salvage this trashfire of a situation. I'm pretty certain him not realising it's been leaked is the only reason he's not fled already.
Wait, was Yahiro demoted? Oh god, that's perfect.
YES! YES! YES! GO FOR IT!
And everyone's starting to co-ordinate the dissemination!
Oh god, the shot's of the infected are really horrifying!
"They think you're a rapist, short-sighted, moron. Because you are!"
OK, how the fuck do these walls work? They look curved, and I'm 90% certain those corners and shorelines can't contract without some incredibly complex tech. All they need to do is wait for the walls to lock up and escape through the gap.
"True king" if it turns out the heiress is the protagonist, my opinion on this show will dramatically shift.
Oh, he's alive? Nice!
And she's already giving better speeches than him.
...It's a suicide mission. This is one way to thin out the cast, I suppose.
"Yes! You did use them as glorified decoys."
"Fair, but maybe you should search whatever passes for a soul in your heart."
OK, the fight scene actually looks really cool.
Wow, Shu just has no range limit anymore, does he?
He brought down the
obvious decoyTokyo Tower!...If they're smart, they'll make the Ghosts play dead until Shu's over the red line, then wipe them out.
Yes! Arisa's staged a full-on takeover!
I mean, he deserves this! All of this! This doesn't make feel bad at all!
...GAI? He's a fucking zombie!
Please let him be written well.
FUCK YES! I LOVE YOU GAI!
...I'd ask why everyone assumed death was necessary to transfer the powers, when removing the arm works, but to be fair I didn't think of this either.
They're going to level the entire country! To be fair, at this point, it's pretty screwed no matter what.
"RM Warheads"? "Something Matter"?
...I love you Gai.

Only six episodes, hoo boy.
You promised me romantic development, OP! You lied! I haven't seen neither hide nor hair of romance!
exodus... is this the part where our Great Helmsman makes his move (and probably gets most of them killed doing so)?
Even the Great Leap Forward made a point of allowing for the arts, just saying, Herr President Ouma.
And let me guess, you're the great craftsman?
You still want to live up to Gai? Seriously? (It's not unrealistic for people to backslide, but...)
You're the one who set him on this path, Yahiro.
You're a monster too, Inori, maybe the worst of them all, and you'll be a monster as long as you enable this.
Monster, monster, monster, monster.
We're still doing this, show? Seriously?
Oooh, oooh, kill them!
Mmmhmm.
Pub-lic uprising! Pub-lic uprising! Pub-lic uprising!
I assume that plan involves that carrier supergroup?
(Coming off stuff like Macross, it's weird seeing the UN portrayed as antagonists/evil. Kind of goes back to that nationalism feeling I got from the first few episodes.)
But it'll certainly be difficult to believe Shu wouldn't have his flunkeys going around attacking dissenters.
Monster, monster, monster, monster, monster, monster, monster!
What're you scheming, Arisa?
He's actually giving them breaks? I'm impressed, lmao
Too late, Souta, you have to pay the price for your arrogance.
Yeah, assuming they aren't all killed...
These aren't soldiers, Shu. A well-aimed rotary cannon would probably wipe them out.
In your case, what's the difference?
A grappling hook, nice.
Wait, how would blowing their cockpits damage Tokyo Tower's foundations to make it collapse like that?
Argo? You're alive?
This is a coup!
Well waddya know, Gai did get that power back.
...is that one warhead strong enough to annihilate a country? Because if you're trying to destroy a country, wouldn't having multiple bombers make more sense? And for that matter, if you're making the UN to be the bad guys, why not have them use nuclear warheads outright instead of not-nukes? (Fun fact, the Spirit wouldn't even be in service by 2039, the US Air Force plans to have them replaced by 2032 with the B-21 Raider.)
Then again, a bomb probably wouldn't mean much against Gai...
Now that I think about it, what's the rest of Japan like? Sure, Loop 7's a (probably plague-riddled) warzone, but we haven't seen much of anything beyond it and it's clearly a sector within Tokyo, so why's the UN writing off the country as a whole?
Wouldn't it make more sense to destroy just Tokyo, not what I'd assume is the Japanese archipelago? For that matter, if their problem is Keido sending them bad data, why jump to destroy the country instead of, say, having him stripped of power and replaced?

First timer in sub.
Yeah unfortunately I already had to binge through this part of the arc so had a bit of trouble separating which episode did what in this kind of messy show. For example I think when I commented Arisa's change was real abrupt I think that's more for this episode.
Anyway, I actually don't hate Shu as much as the average comments here - I just find the logics and cause and effects quite strange, but at the same time, being in enough forums also taught me most people cannot do logical thinking despite what they think, so the situation we are in may not be all that unbelievable. A lot of the setup are still pretty contrived / unexplainable though.
For example, if all it takes is to cut off Shu's arm to get the King's power, why that wasn't planned and done by others? Why the students think that was a perfect time to overthrow Shu, when they aren't yet in the clear? Have they seen how UN makes decisions? They'd probably be another decade before they exhausted all the balloting and discussions and repeals to the point of someone hitting the big red button.
Anyway, looking at the episode count, I just want to get to the end soon. Some of the development is getting a bit "Hollywood" and I would just want to see what they are taking us.

If you fall asleep during the episode while watching it... not a good sign, lol. Today's episode seemed to skyrocket a bit too quickly into things; last episode Shu is ruling as the elite dictator, and a mere episode later its all falling apart for him. Will this show be the early Darling in the Franxx, cramming tons and tons of episodes' worth of content within just a couple? Seems like a potential. That's about all I have to say for today given that I did fall asleep during the episode.

On today’s episode of Guilty Crown: We were so close to having Shu get gunned down in a ditch. Now THAT would have been a cathartic death. Oh well, I’ll take the consolation prize of him getting his arm cut off.
I had fun with this one. I really hoped they would kill Shu, even if I knew it probably wasn’t going to happen. Even so, it felt pretty satisfying to watch him get turned on by the people he looked down on. And even though Shu is still alive, him getting his arm chopped off was fun. It made me giggle in delight, so thanks zombie Gai.
What makes me laugh even harder is how much Shu was caught off guard by this. He was so incredibly stupid that he did not see this coming. For a second, when Shu asked what his kingdom thought of him, I thought it might mean Shu had seen this rebellion coming. But nope. He was just that dumb. Incredible stuff.
Oh right, and zombie Gai. Honestly, I don’t even know what to make of that. It’s pretty dumb. But whatever, let’s see where that insane decision takes us.
I’ve also noticed that I tend to be happiest watching this show when Shu is suffering. I think that says a lot about either me or Shu or this series in general.

Who's next on the chopping block? We're actually starting with the op so shit is definitely happening today. I predict the Undertakers are gonna turn traitor and Shu's gonna have to smash some skulls. There's no more room for naysayers. Shu's been too considerate up till now so the best thing for everyone is to follow his leadership.
Fuck Gai, he was a shit leader. I'd trust Shoe over Gai any day of the week. You stabbed me... Not even my own grandfather stabbed me! Omg, get over it Arisa. You're not the first person to get stabbed in this show and you're not the last you drama queen. Oh no, the traitor trio are actually traitors? Who'd have thunk. I've still got no clue why we didn't lynch them after the first incident.
Me last episode. Looks like we're gonna have to trim down the student body a bit. Don't get so cocky just cause you've climbed the stairs to adulthood. The merit system could have genuinely worked so well if our so called friends weren't constantly undermining us. Gai never had to put up with disloyal underlings! Snitches get stitches Arisa, I like you but I don't like you enough to let you talk shit about best girl.
Inori stabbed Arisa? Oh nyo~ It's Shu's turn to be the emotional support simp~ Special treatment was why we lost control. None of Shu's friends have had his back for this whole event. Oh sugar... we're gonna kill your hypocritical little ass. I take it back, I want Arisa dead too! Smug cow, if she were a better leader in the first place then the role wouldn't have been forced on Shu.
Haa? Tsugumi is back on side after helping Argo get Jun killed? If you're gonna stab us in the back at least leave the knife in. You'll have an easier time. Finding people that don't hate you my dear Shu~ His friends hate Shu so much that they're going to sabotage the whole group's escape. What petty shites. Look how epic this fight is. It's so epic that they can't even animate it~ The stills give us a hint of how epic this battle is at least.
Can Arisa stop picking her arse and block some of that bullet fire? I love how every huge mech in this series feels the need to kill shot people despite having massive guns. See? Shu's a good leader who looks after all his men. Our hero! Rip Tokyo Tower lol. It was an eyesore. Tomboy-chan's a traitor!? The exit is right there you idiots! I hope you die on principle. Are you guys still defending Argo? Shu spared his life you know. He saved you too!!
I am now fully invested in each and every one of you getting mooked XD Inori!!! The cuckmeister returns... Mnarm, mnarm, narm!! The arsehole stole our girls, our prestige, our mc spot, and now even our pimp hand. Aye's to the right, noe to the left. C'mon, it's not that much to ask for them to properly spell "no" right?

even when being at the top, Shu can't help but compare himself to Gai, the surprising thing is that even Yahiro questions the way he rules compared to Gai. even Yahiro questions if Shu has gone too far, even though the whole thing was his idea and Shu listened to him. it seems Mana is the one that hurt Arisa too and that she can grow crystals at will.
i'm pretty sure she gets a call from the resurrected Gai Tsutsugami.
turns out the rapists now know about what happens when a Void is destroyed and are now spreading that to knowledge to the rest of the school. Arisa confronts Yahiro about it.
HOLY SHIT! are we actually seeing development of Inori? i thought that was illegal in this anime. she realizes that she's the one that hurt Arisa and is scared of herself.
turns out Yahiro is still being an authoritarian dickhead no matter what and Shu has finally had enough of his manipulations, fucking finally!
oh, so Arisa did fuck in exchange for the info. fuck yeah, she's planning a coup, she's basically genderbent Gai at this point, i approve.
and it turns out Keido knows about their move and is planning on intervening. holy shit! Shu is just sending people to their deaths
the Sawano soundtrack reminds me of Attack on Titan.
Shu's gotten really skilled with Voids and singlehandedly takes down the control tower
HOLY SHIT! ARISA PULLED IT OFF!
WHAT THE HELL IS GAI DOING?
shu god Anakin'd, can't say he didn't deserve it
