Is there anything Truth can't do? If there is anything that Eureka 7 Ao has been telling us since his amazingly jarring introduction it is that this guy's abilities seem limitless. His use as an antagonist throughout this story has simply been to provoke characters and start shit at random to provide episodic conflict.

Oh hey, Eureka is on screen, lets have Truth attack her for no goddamn reason so we can have dramatic scenes!

Oh hey Ao has a quartz gun, lets have Truth try to steal it so he UHM do something!!!

Oh Truth wants to fuck with the Japanese government, COOL! Oh wait why?

The fact that Truth fused with a gun and is just like "SUP I'M GOING TO DO WHATEVER I WANT," is not the least bit surprising at this point. His character is simply a terrible plot device.

It is quite clear he never had a true reason for existing in the Eureka 7 universe, and this just means the staff hasn't know what they were doing whatsoever past episode 3 and especially since he got introduced.

Goddamn this show, I swear.
