And yeah @finalfury that one really sealed the deal for me too. Just..wow, Shoko.

Yeah, few can prepare for such a situation, I never claimed otherwise. Yet people like Takahi, Satomi, heck, even Otamaya are keeping their sh*t together, trying to save who they can. The supposed "bakemono" are dying for them. It doesn't matter one inch how emotional Shoko is, it's completely and utterly without import. If she's too emotional to handle herself because of her own personal problems in an emergency, then she shouldn't have stood for election, period. Leave it to those who are qualified. If she wanted to be emotional, she should've stayed a normal student and let Satomi take the leadership role. Since she did not do that whether or not she is naturally emotional is her problem. She better well keep it together and do what she is supposed to.
Honestly, I could care less how tough poor Shoko supposedly has it. Everyone else has it tough too. You deal with it, or you don't take on responsibility for others.
His mission is over, it has failed. He has no reason to care about what happens to the students. They're not his responsibility.
What, because she's refusing to talk to A-Drei and give information to the enemy?  Not really, we don't know very well what state she is in right now. But whatever the case, she has gone through much worse than Shoko, and not once has she acted in as damaging a way as Shoko. And btw, she's every bit a teenage civilian as Shoko. |
Out of those you listed ONLY Saki, Haruto, and L-Elf really have as much BS as Shoko has had to deal with. No one else does. Furthermore L-Elf only had one big event to screw with which was Lise dying. Saki and Haruto came to an understanding and Saki is used to having life not go well for her.
Shoko is the Prime Minister's Daughter and she has never truly failed at anything and had everything given to her. She believes if you try hard and pour your heart out than anything is possible no matter the odds. Which she showcased when she created a country, became PM, and maintained the entire country on her own against ARUS harassment when her entire staff abandoned her for a mission that they LIED about to her.
Than she has EVERYTHING taken from her in a single instance as well as all her bottled up emotions bursting out. She has every right to freak out after everything that has happened, especially with the horrified realization that the guy she has loved since childhood is now an immortal monster that doesn't seem to remember important things between them.
Furthermore, L-Elf doesn't get a pass. He was willing to die, and screw them all, after Lise died and when they needed L-Elf the most on the module he was stuck on a BSOD. So he isn't really handling things better, at least Shoko acted in a way she thought would save her people even as she was freaking out.
That's complete and utter BS. No one else had the will or strength to lead the Country. Shoko managed to keep everything in tact even when she was in the dark and they kept lying and lying to her with secrets that could have and did screw over Neo JIOR. You CANNOT expect her not to hate them when students are dying right in front of her and everyone else is demanding blood for their betrayal. Sure the Golden 7 saved them in the past, however because of their secrets and lies they're getting everyone killed NOW and the other side promised to end the killing if they surrendered the Golden 7 team. Shoko selling them out stopped things from getting far worse and if the Dorssian's weren't busy being monsters themselves Shoko's decision would have saved all the remaining students.
Shoko's mind is a mess, she has a ton of BS going on right now, and her heart has been shattered. On top of that she's still a teenager, has little training, and up to this point didn't know a lot of the dark things going now. She deserves to be allowed at least one huge meltdown like Haruto and L-Elf have had.
At this point everyone is screwed up in the head and shit is hitting the fan from all directions.
Satomi, leader? You're kidding right? He had a major freak out when he lost a mere Election and Shoko STILL put him on her staff. If he was in control and didn't go to Earth with the team he wouldn't have fared any better than Shoko. If anything he may have sold them out without any regrets because they brought it upon themselves and it's for the good of the people.
Even if he's being "Lovable" this entire fiasco stems from the fact that he did capture her. Even if they're all being played in the long run, or just doing their jobs, there had better not be any shipping flags between them.
Woobie Olympics FTL.
