The government needs Ranka more than she needs them, so she has the ability to dictate the terms of their arrangement. If she decided to force a compromise, she could have supported Elmo. But I'm sure that she will eventually break free, once she develops the strength, and she will eventually need to rectify things with Elmo, tax collectors or not. Quote:

That's definitely a good thing for her. |

But the main point is that her gut instincts told her that it wasn't quite right, but she allowed herself to go along with it. It's not a trivial feat by any means, but it does require a certain amount of inner strength to resist. But I'm positive that Ranka will start standing up for herself as she sees herself gets pushed further and further away from how she originally envisioned herself to be. Quote:

But on the positive side, Sheryl is fiercely individualistic and very strong-willed. Both girls have their strengths, both have their weaknesses, and they complement each other nicely. But they can both stand to grow by learning from each other. |

I was refering to working for the government in general. On another note, I predict Bresra and Ranka will probably be the most popular pair in Frontier before it's over. |

It's easy enough to go along with something because people say that it's "good", but it takes backbone to decide for yourself whether you really want to believe in that or not. I'm sure that this lesson will play an important part in Ranka's future growth. Quote:
There's nothing that she can do about the Vajra issue, yet. But that will probably raise more doubts for Ranka too, as time goes on. Quote:
It's all part of watching the characters grow up. Nothing unusual here. |

Sheryl working for the government? Wow, that is news. I thought Sheryl working for the sake of Galaxy. Cooperating with Frongtier government is the best choice for her.
By "effective," You mean that so-called Ranka Attack which can make Minmey turn over in her grave and shock Basara to death? I have to admit that Sheryl is really inferior to Ranka in term of singing for death.

Yep. With Ranka they have to actually have to appeal to her better nature to get her to do what they want. With Sheryl, they just call her up and she does whatever they want for whatever reason. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that if it was Sheryl singing the Deathsong, she'd have no doubt in her mind that it was the right thing to do.

Of course she would, to her and 99.9999999999% of people in Frontier the Varja wiped out Galaxy which is her homeland. If you're trying to twist this into a negative thing about Sheryl's character than lmao, she's not the one who had a "conversation" with the Varja. She would have no reason to feel sympathetic for the Varja unlike Ranka and personally I find it hilarious they are trying to portray the Varja as sympathetic to the audience.

I'm Sheryl x Alto for the following reasons. All of which, I'm sure has been mentioned at various threads before. 1. It creeps me out that Ranka looks like she's 12 and should not be in a relationship with a guy. Not only does she look 12, she acts 12. From her choice of clothing to the way she wears her hair, to the way she responds to others around her, she's just a little girl with a crush. She's still developing and the anime is working on it; but in the end, that would require her to be less dependent on others (especially Alto) and make decisions for herself. 2. This anime makes it seem like Alto feels more like a man when he's protecting Ranka. Remember his complex about being a kabuki actor specialized in playing women. What will happen when Ranka matures and learns to protect herself? It certainly doesn't sound like a good base for a long lasting relationship. 3. I love Sheryl! She's smart, independent, spontaneous, and really good hearted. Even though Ranka seems to be taking everything away from her, she still treats her like a friend. She's jealous, of course, but she didn't whine and bitch about it, or scheme to hurt Ranka. In fact, at the end of ep 16, she seem to be more upset that Ranka was being used as a tool of war than jealous of her popularity. Spoiler for prediction for Sheryl:

Well, after ep16, it'll tell her she can help kill the Vajra, thus making battles safer for her friends and family. Sure, she still has misgivings. But rationally speaking, Vajra are the enemy, and she can help save the lives of her countrymen. The right thing to do is to go along with it. Where she's possibly lacking is that she didn't talk to anyone about her doubts. About the fact the Vajra communicated with her. But refusing to help because of a vague feeling that could easily be attributed to fear? Wrong. |

If Ranka ever stands up for herself and resists the government plans, hopefully it will be because she can see the big picture and not for a more selfish motive (i.e. she doesn't like the way Grace is twisting her songs and image). |
