Spoiler for What I'm referring to:

... is that around Chapter 65, Mio stepped over a line she really should have at least thought twice over before stepping on. Everything before that - failure to immediately Return to Base, even following Cruz around, can probably be excused with a little fast talking. After all, Cruz is looking for Adam Blade if he's alive, and let's face it that's like Arclight's Priority One right now, so Mio being right next to him (and thus right next to Blade when he gets discovered) can probably be worked out. In any case, the Shoujo Butai really tolerates quite a bit of youthful exuberance and error.

But at Chapter 65, Mio just agreed to attack a fairly high official of Simeon and to defend a ridiculous little village that Simeon wants (that's not exactly it but close enough). Considering right up until then, she's probably living some of the best life available to a Black Spot inhabitant, this is really not her brightest move.

And now I'm already starting to worry about her. The ending in 69 tells us to worry about Cruz, but we all know Cruz is not going to die. Even Adam Blade might die (probably taking down Arclight with him) but let's face it Cruz isn't in any real danger.

With this setup, since Mio is not powerful enough to handle those two baddies now chasing the group around, and she as a subcharacter won't have the infamous main character shields, she's actually a prime candidate for dying. In a fairly bloody manner, given this manga.

And all because she agreed too easily to Cruz request. Cruz, we know she's impressionable but think of her tachiba before asking, dammit!

The Fans won't allow it!
Adam Blade won't allow it!
