Finally watched the episode.
They really seem to be going overboard with Flit and Kio being one extreme and the other to the point that Asemu is really the only sensible one here.
Flit, "exterminate all Vagans, blah blah blah" which is a lot more extreme than what he was before though people are still able to rein him in. Also throws all the things that he went through out the door.
Kio, "We should understand each other...." I still don't see how the hell he came down to that conclusion since that's not the war is about. It's so forced even Kira's mentality made a lot more sense (and he was an independent fighter by that point).
Asemu, 'Dude, your being lied to..." the only sensible one here where he tries to reveal the truth. Yet even though Zeheart confronted Ezcelant he still goes along with the plan in the end.
Ezcelant's argument that humanity is full of strife kinda baffles me. Yes humanity went through brutal wars but one can point out the Silver Chalice Treaty which sealed all of the tech away. This resulted in a very long peace for the Earth sphere which was ruined when Ezcelant came to Earth with his plans.
One can argue CB was the same in 00 but in that case they were aiming to change the political system and to prepare humanity for an actual alien invasion.
