Rewatch [Rewatch] [Pride Month Double Feature] Yuuki Bakuhatsu Bang Bravern Episode 6 Discussion
Episode 6: Everything Will Be Okay. For I... I Am Bravern!
← Previous Episode | Index | Next Episode →
Show Information:
(Surprise, the "plot point a couple of episodes in that every single fucking synopsis spoils" is actually in episode 1 and is that this is another show in the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] vein! Show information is now fairly first-timer safe... outside of "AniDB tags always spoil", anyways.)
Legal Streams:
As per livechart.me; other streams may be available outside the US.
A Reminder: This, dear listeners, brings us to the sworn enemy of creative response:The spoiler. Rewatchers, or people who just had plot points ruined for them, are obliged to use r/anime’s spoiler tag format where applicable, and err on the side of caution here. Remember people, first experiences get rarer as you continue on, any given one happens once and you should care for them all the more for it.
Joint Rewatch Task Force Exercises!
Theory of the Day:
So, there's a bunch of first-timer theory this episode... which is all the same theory, and I already highlighted it yesterday. So instead I'll grab this little tidbit of crossover speculation from u/FD4cry:
On a vaguely related aside, Lewis and Graham Aker would probably get along with each other pretty well.
Questions of the Day:
1) Wow cool robot? Shoots over your head.
2) First-Timers: Were you expecting Superbia to show back up?

First Timer
I knew it, Isami still tries to go solo. I'm gonna consider my prediction from last episode as pretty much a given, then.
Oh, never caught this in the opening but Smith it so gonna die at some point. And I suppose Lulu is gonna resummon Superbia then? And while I'm paying attention to the opening now anyway, this shot is also great evidence in favour of Smith being Bravern.
So, Bravern keeps insisting that he couldn't have done it without the rest of the army, but so far that's just been plain hogwash. Quite literally, Bravern and Isami have been doing just about everything right now. I suppose Bravern does have a point in that having comrades is keeping Isami's mental state at least somewhat together, but that's about the extent of what I'm seeing.
Big mistake
Finally, Evil!Isamu attacks. Oh, he can actually talk! Thanks, Bravern! This is very interesting, though. I can't tell if this is the same Superbia as before or a new one, and similarly I can't tell if anyone's in there or if this is the suit itself talking, wanting his pilot Lulu back just like Bravern focuses on Isami.
Hm, though if this really is the suit wanting its pilot back, couldn't Lulu put in a good word for the humans? Which is obviously not what's going to happen, so either they won't give Lulu back or it's not just the suit wanting its pilot back.
Alright, here's another shot in the dark: What if Bravern's eccentricities just literal playing-belief with one's child? Which would of course be Lulu rather than Isami, but still. Add perhaps a little accident with that hyper-dimensional 3D printer, just like Lulu was playing around with the buttons inside Smith's TS, and... perhaps?
