Spoiler for episode 7:

I forget if it was /a/ or something, but I suspected that the Gargantians might consider whalesquids holy like Hindus and cows, and Ledo killing one of them might lead to trouble.

The scene of the whalesquids swimming under the fleet was a masterpiece of tension. I was sucking on my lips throughout the duration, especially when that guy dropped that wrench.

And now Pinion's showing signs of becoming an antagonist or even villain. And so soon after throwing a barbeque for Ledo...

I thought this show would go from around 25 MPH to 80 in about three seconds, and I sure wasn't disappointed. Glad to be watching.

I thought it was less "we worship the whalesquid" holy and more "We mess with them, they'll mess up the fleet" fearful reverence. Pinion has a grudge against them for killing his brother and it looks like there are more that feel the same. The fact the whalesquid/sea Hideuze don't attack unless provoked me wonder about the Alliance: who shot first in their war?
