(L) Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto

[Dann of Thursday]

I'm wondering at what point we might see the others in the Crux perhaps discuss their personal desires with breaking all the seals. Some of the motivations are probably predictable, but I wonder what the chances are of some of the people in the group perhaps having good intentions behind bringing Cybodies to the real world. Like some in the science division perhaps wanting to use them to further human progress or something like that.

As you can see, the Leaders are all some stupid teens , even Professor Green she's even more moronic.. except for Head, He never asked anyone ( of his Brigade ) to fight Takuto ( He knew that it's impossible to fight someone in Phase 3 with Phase-1-ability) ...I guess they're just some pawns used by Kanako's french husband.

The problem is that setting Wako free means bringing the Cybodies closer to being released into the real world, which is something that she feels strongly against. Now if they pull a twist in the lines of Sugata=Sam and his desire to escape his fate (or whatever reason he might have to join the Glittering Star), then maybe they want to show him sacrifice Wako to go in line with Fish Girls story.

As for the position of the Emperor, I thought it was open because the Leader went MIA, and they were trying to convince Sugata to join them by offering a high ranking position in the organisation? Or are they 2 separate positions?

No likely? I mean there is research being done on Cybodies, but we also have some of them going around abusing their powers for personal usage without caring about the side effects. Sure, not everyone of them is going to be so irresponsible about it, but the general behavior thus far implies not many of them will use it for actual good deeds.

True, though Kanako and Keito seem at least a bit more intelligent. I'm curious as to who the person with the most overall control would be actually. Kanako's husband would seem a possible candidate and maybe the eyepatch guy, but no one so far. I keep expecting Head to eventually take complete control and get way more serious with things, but maybe not.

Spoiler for Fish Girl Story:

The story is apparently something that Fish Girl learned about from the memories contained in her Cybody, which she then conveyed through her story. The general indications being that it was about Head more than anyone else. Of course, the story could always be repeating itself, but I've been wondering if Takuto's presence as an outsider is meant to change the whole thing.

I got the indication that it is reserved for the one who is in control of Samekh. Granted, I suppose someone could eventually just take the position like Head maybe, but I don't know for sure.

Not many of them sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them perhaps see them as a way to help people. Many of them probably don't truly grasp exactly what the consequences would be in all of this. Or maybe they do and just don't care.

Magazine Translated Quote

Spoiler for Quote:

––With Wako (the South Maiden), “fish girl” (the North Maiden), and Mizuno (the West Maiden) three Maidens have appeared, but since it’s the “Maidens of the Four Directions,” there’s another Maiden, isn’t there?

Igarashi: There is another one. Perhaps the identity of that one will be confirmed in the near future…. well, I wouldn’t dare to say who it is, but, it’s probably who everyone thinks it is (lol). But, rather than “who is the last Maiden” you should be asking “why is it like this?”––it’s a dramatic focal point.

Source:http://ninteenpointzerofour.wordpres...rashi-trollan/

LOL, he just wouldn't admit who the last maiden is. But I guess this already confirms who it is,the person who everyone thinks is the last maiden(unless everyone didn't think it was Keito.. xD)

Igarashi confirmed that there are people in the Crux who want to use the Cybodies for "peace and justice" too.

Spoiler for Igarashi Q&A Excerpt:

The Glittering Crux’s Objective
The Crux calls the day they’ll take the Cybodies off the island the “Day of Departure” {how dull!}, and they’re working toward making that day a reality, but… “Kanako insists that the Cybodies belong to her*, and the Crux members are all trying to use the Cybodies for their own purposes. [Their intentions] aren’t just evil, there are people who want to use them for peace and justice too.”

*- idk how this relates to the second half of the sentence unless it’s just an example/whatever; she probably does technically “own” them though, considering she’s the main financial banker of the whole project….

Posted a bunch of other stuff from the magazines over the last few days if anyone's interested.

I'm far behind the episode, but I have luck on my side at being able to reach to the current episode for next week.

For the eighth episode the battle was pretty impressive, because the motives that led to Takuto and Sugata's confrontation had real substance within them.

Spoiler:

I strongly conclude that once Sugata learned of the true horrors of his destiny at his eleventh birthday, he became strongly reclused and cold.

However, he learned empathically to relate to Wako, because she carries a similar burden to his, that is both cannot leave the island. Hence, Sugata was not able to hate Wako for becoming involved with his destiny.

The happy and kind face he put up at the start of the show wasn't his true colors, but a mask to keep reminding himself of his fate. Nevertheless, for Wako's sake he continued to put his happy face, that until the events of the seventh episode that led partially-approvising Samekh.

Fortunately, at the conclusion of the eighth episode, we have that Takuto and Sugata much needed confrontation fulfilled at relieving thier burdens and masks.

I only hope that they never become enemies but remain just as rivals towards each other without unnecessary hatred.

The problem is that Fish-Girl's seemingly last Sam's fairy-tale story metaphorically suggets that Sugata someday would have to kill that someone precious to him in order to fulfill his heart desire to leave the island; at first I gave thoughts that someone might turn out to be Wako, but the conclusion at the end leaves it uncertain that the tragic person could turn out to be Takuto.

I'm curious as to who these people might be out of everyone we have seen so far. Green strikes me possibly as one who might want to use potential breakthroughs in technology from researching Cybodies to help people. Kanako just seems selfish and would probably only use them as a form of monetary gain. No real idea what Benio would do. And Keito....I just don't know about Keito. She comes across as very manipulative with everything she's done and seems one of the most potentially threatening, but there's a part of me that wonders whether she might have good intentions with this all.

Head's a bit of a wildcard since we just don't know much about him or what he really wants. The rest of Vanishing Age don't seem the type to use them for the good of all though.

I'm wondering if the Crux might start to splinter as they get closer and closer to their goal. Also depends on how things go with Marino as well as whether Sugata ends up joining or not.

Thank you for all the info.

[Cream]

Pretty surprised the current head didn't do anything about 'him'(name has been forgotten) using his first phase in public. Well, not that there was any hint at it being prohibited but still.

[SoFarGone]

I've been always thinking that some of the Cruz members would eventually leave the brigade and join Takuto's side which basically means joining the drama club. They did say something in the beginning that the drama club lack members or something like that.

[Wakan Tanka]

I'm surprised that Window Star is a female...

Spoiler for Episode 11 The H4xx0r G@ykuT000:

Can't even imagine how they could h4x the Cybody like that using first phase power. Sugata should have done it earlier if he knew he could do something like power up-ing Gaykuto's Cybody.

- So Simone is actually the biological daughter of Leon Watanabe, Kanako's husband. But she didn't intend to spoil that to everyone. Only she and her sister Mirene (hopefully i get the spelling right) knew about it.
- However Kanako knew about it already, since Simone and Mirene's mother and Kanako are close friend. It was her that introduced Kanako to Leon Watanabe for whatever reason there was.
- I don't really get the conversation between Mirene and Simone, but i believe during the time when Simone was in coma in the hospital, seeing how depressed Simone mother was, Kanako used her Cybody to rescue Simone.
- Hearing the revelation from her sister, Simone asked Kanako as to why she didn't tell her about the truth. Still Kanako didn't give her the real answer to it, only a stupid reply, which made Simone hates her even more.

Other than that
- Seems like it becomes a habitual for Kanako to disturb the class by teasing Gaykuto from behind during class.
- I think i started to fall in love with Wako's maiden song, which is accompanied by Takahashi's (Banker) piano play. Gotta give a praise to Hayami Saori for that as-ever beautiful singing voices. Hopefully it will be released in the album too.
- Owh Takahashi has some bad taste in choosing his pool suit.
- The meeting between Head and Sugata... is this the starting to the epilogue between Sugata and GCB? Owh and Head sounds so gay when he said Sugata is a beautiful teenage.
- The fight plan of GCB's today involves Simone using her Cybody and absorbing Takahasi into her Cybody's chest (like what Scarlet Kiss did to Sugata), except that Simone only supplies energy to Takahashi in order to allow Takahashi to use his Star Sword, while Takahashi will be doing the maneuvering from the inside. In a way, Simone + Takahashi's combination is like a third phase combination, which allows Takahashi to control Simone's Cybody like Gaykuto does.
- They almost got Gaykuto this time, not until Sugata stepped in and provides Gaykuto with the energy of gay to his Star Swords. Couldn't help but to think of the large big sword as something else, especially when the source itself was from Sugata.


Next week
- Kanako aka Adult Bank's turn? Seems like her Cybody resembles a lion.
- Seems like another girl to add into Gaykuto's harem collection
- And seems like Gaykuto has a new killer move.. kinda like his Tau Galaxy beam except its in a ball shape.

[Arkard]

.... so Sugata couldn't stand it anymore and helped Takuto make his "sword" longer and stronger... yeah, no overtones there...

Spoiler for episode 11:

He's tried to do it countless times, but stupid Wako kept stopping him. However, after meeting Head, he realized nobody can censor his and Takuto's love. It's not shameful to give the man you love a giant erection. I'm a bit disappointed Takuto didn't say "Sugata's overflowing libido is pouring in my Tauburn". I suppose we'll have to wait until Sugata enters his cybody (if you know what I mean).

Gay overtones aside... that was a pretty good episode. I don't really see the point in focusing on such a minor character though, especially when we still know next to nothing about the main cast, which makes it very hard for me to give a damn about them. I wonder if this Leon Watanabe will be important. We've heard a lot about him, and now we've even been introduced to his daughters. There has to be a reason.

I enjoyed seeing more of the ever so sexy Kanako. She's certainly a bit obnoxious at times (especially from the girls' point of views), but her heart's in the right place. Her goal is world peace? Not exactly what I had in mind, unless "world peace" means turning the whole world into a harem for herself.

Not much focus on the twins in this episode. Only enough to confirm Marino's fallen for Takuto. I hope we'll see Mizuno miss her bus someday

I'm getting seriously tired of the recycled footage. I don't need to see Tauburn's entrance and Takuto putting on his fabulous outfit every.damn.time.
