But the victim won't feel it. The victim would be in shock (if the head somehow remains attached) for a few seconds and expire. Unless of course, the victim was lucky (well, not really) and the shot somehow grazed arms & legs. Then thats a different story.

MESSER. NO. I knew since the last line Freyja uttered last episode, he was doomed. I'm going to miss him. He was certainly one of the best written characters in this show.
Where did you even get that? Epsilon (unless I'm deaf, that's the name of this faction) is a Greek name. Why would a proud Windermerian even use a filthy earthling language? It would have been called for glorious wind or something if was from Winderere. From the context is used, IIRC, it implies is external "help". Once again, the Drakes weren't made in Windermere but supplied by the Anti-NUNs, iirc. Don't think it's a coincidence Epsilon is a letter that comes after Delta in Greek Alphabet, huh. Do we know for sure "Lady M" is good? What if this whole foreshadowing she could be Mylenne or Myung a red herring? Though there is a split between the Windermerian forces. Clearly Roid vs Keith would probably save Delta because Roid is completely against this. Master Herrman is going to back Roid, IMO. He was the one who looked not into revenge and agreed silently with Freyja, he seemed like he has to follow orders and is looking after his students. Besides he is supposed to play a role about offering a Windermerian viewpoint. With that, Bogue might also be torn. He's just portrayed as an angry fifteen years old. I guess redheads must suffer in this show.

It's not just them. Someone else is supplying them weapons. Third faction most of us speak about isn't the divisions of the windermere but another power that is behind the conflict, using their anger and grief like happens all the time in real life.

As a minor aside, apart from tripping even more death flags for poor Messer and Kaname (via the cliche, "couples that deepen their love under the jellyfish will be together forever," legend), the reactions to the love talk seemed a bit forced this ep. I suppose it's understandable that Mirage was blushing up a storm when the subject turned to intimacy if they want to paint her as an innocent; i wonder how GG is gonna translate 'shoubu pantsu,' 'cause the closest English equivalent i can think of is a bit crude. However, when Hayate proclaimed, "If you're in love then just say it!" Mirage and Freyja exchanged a mutual sideways glance that implies way more consciousness of their respective positions in the love triangle than either of them should have by their characterization so far. I guess they figure they need to finally get the triangle off the ground before the end of the first cour, but i'm still not buying it.
Edit: i so want Mirage to feed Bogue his, "Heh, we can leave the mooks for later," quip with a side of white-hot lead at some point but the non-aces in the squad really weren't firing on all cylinders this time. Guess they had to save up a lot of spotlight for Messer and Keith, but still. |

*You would think if they did it to themselves as NUNS claimed, their king would have reacted differently when he was telling his son to avenge them. I'm not saying NUNS did it either, but I doubt they did it either. You would be pissed if someone bombed your house, kill your loved ones, destroy what you got and then report you did it. I don't think that's something anyone can easily forget and forgive. That's the perfect way to make them go to war.

Personally, I'm totally on board with how this triangle is "progressing" so far, I hope it will stay low-key like this. Quote:

In general, they need to actually remember she's a main character. It's like they forget she exists unless they need to drop a reminder this is a triangle or she needs to secretly feel sorry for herself.

Speaking of the idols though, we learned one more little thing about Mikumo this ep. Apparently she can either hold her breath for a very long time or straight up doesn't need to breathe. |

Also, in the wharf scene Mirage's concern over Freyja is not just over Hayate. Remember, the scene was about Freyja's success as Walküre. Meanwhile, Mirage is still having her inferiority complex issues over her own (perceived) lack of success at her own job. So basically she feels that even Freyja, who joined the group only a short while ago, has passed her. Quote:
(Frankly, as much as I adore Hayate and Freyja, if the triangle comes to a conclusion during the course of the series I would be surprised - pleasantly, mind, but surprised - if Mirage wasn't the "winner". IMO currently they're building up to the "poor Mirage feels she has no chance, let's feel sorry for her" phase of her romance arc. ) |

Messer was among my favorites, and I loved the episode. I don't feel the rage I did
Spoiler for frontier and original show deaths:

I made the mistake of checking the general discussion thread this morning and got spoiled for Messer's death, which deprived it of much of its impact. Actually it also deprived his "cavalry to the rescue" moment of much of its impact as well (though him showing up to assist probably wasn't entirely unpredictable even without knowing that he was going to die this episode).
While I don't really feel rage over Messer's death I do feel the show lost some of its more interesting romantic/interpersonal relationships because of it. Quote:
