Anyway, considering that Pinion wants to fight some (wait for it) whalesquid and

Spoiler for episode 8:

, would you say there's some parallels with Captain Ahab going on? Or do you think Ledo fits that description better?

Jan-Poo · 2013-05-31, 08:49

I think that Ledo fits it better. Ahab is described as monomaniacal, which implies he is so obsessed with his purpose to kill Moby-dick that he can't think of much else.

Pinion, however, seems to be mainly concerned with money and pleasure (the first being a mean for the second in the end) and only secondarily to avenge his brother.

Theo · 2013-06-03, 01:00

He'd be more likable if he wasn't plotting to kill Ledo for the first four episodes.

I was expecting him to have more interesting conversations with Chamber since he spent so much time trying to pry him open in the first episode. Shame.

Dark Wing · 2013-06-12, 12:23

I'm indeed disappointed in Pinion so fare I can only hope that his character can be redeemed somehow.

aohige · 2013-06-14, 01:59

I wish he would stop talking and sounding exactly like Kamina while acting like a douchebag.

sky black swordman · 2013-06-14, 04:50

Pinion has become so self centered since the episode when Ledo first killed his first Whale Squid (Hideauze).

bastek66 · 2013-06-23, 16:24

Heh, Stupid Sexy Pinion

Jan-Poo · 2013-06-23, 17:31

So this shows first portrayed Pinion as a villain and as a very unlikable douchebag and two episodes later it reforms him as some kind of hero, improving his appearance in the process.

Dark Wing · 2013-06-23, 18:13

Only in anime...

Theo · 2013-06-23, 20:50

Okay Pinion, you've changed from "useless asshole" to "useful asshole." Hope you're happy.

Funkatron · 2013-06-23, 20:53

Pinion X Bellows must happen

Cloudedmind · 2013-06-23, 21:20

Looks like Pinion's finally getting serious.

sky black swordman · 2013-06-23, 21:32

Welll pinion has redeemed himself a somewhat after this week's episode, enough to change my opinion of him a bit.

zztop · 2013-06-24, 05:53

Pinion looks a lot like his late brother with his hair down.
