But he has directly said he has interest in Ranka and in episode 8 cancelled her performance on tv. Watch the parts from between 16:00 -17:00 of episode 8 to see Ranka's disappointment and Leon's conversation with the observers he placed on Ranka.

Someone actually mentioned Grace being the culprit behind Ranka's bad run of luck, which isn't any less likely than Leon sabotaging Ranka's efforts. It could easily be that there are two plots against Ranka, three if you want to count whatever the Vajra have in mind for her. Four if Bresra isn't connected to one of the other three. |

Leon working to keep Ranka from being famous so that he can dispose of her as need be or make her disappear does have some precedent in real life; a few months ago a celebrity teen mag in Australia noticed that there was no news of Prince Harry and began speculating that he was in Afghanistan. Being a celeb gossip rag, nobody took it seriously.
Then Mike Drudge of the Drudge Report dug up the story, plastered it on his website, drew the attention of the mainstream media, and the MoD was forced to admit that yes, Prince Harry was in Afghanistan, no, nobody knew him as Prince Harry, he was Widow-Six-Seven, a Forward Air Controller, yes he was retrained as an FAC and infantryman and he's out of the country 4 weeks short of finishing his planned deployment thank you very much. The MoD and Harry have admitted that it would have been so much easier to keep things more under wraps if he weren't so famous or high profile. (And the reason he was yanked out was due to being a bullet magnet...) Hmmmm. Could it be that Leon sees Ranka as a Vajra magnet and is intent on sidelining her singing as much as possible so that she doesn't draw the Vajra to her?

He probably doesn't care about Ranka's safety, he would be thinking of something like this instead: Send Ranka to an uninhabited planet, lure away as many Vajra as possible. So that Frontier can take out the weakened remaining forces and maybe reaction bomb away the Vajra along with the uninhabited planet. (cookies to whoever can guess the exact anime I got this inspiration from) Or he would be thinking of using Ranka's voice as a weapon or a device to manipulate the Vajra.

And yes the mini-stage Sucked. A lot. Period. Why would Bobby, an agent of beauty lol, look so unhappy watching Ranka? He is clearly not seeing any beauty in it. So was I. The only positive thing about it is that, Ranka's will to get famous is admirable. So what if they got hacked? There are more appealing alternatives to promote her other than what the manager made her do. I'm starting to think the manager is the only staff member in his talent agency. Ranka was just standing there on her own. Any help distributing flyers from his nonexistent staff would be nice. He could've helped too instead of watching from the sideline. That was the lousiest debut ever. Poor poor Ranka. Quote:
Oh yeah, I'm in the "Brera&Grace are not in cahoots" camp. First, the woman who gave orders to Brera sounded nothing like Grace. Second, if Grace really were after Ranka, then why is she always with Sheryl? She even came from Galaxy. Unless Sheryl and Ranka are half sisters separated from birth and she's just keeping an eye for any dormant abilities from Sheryl, I don't see enough reason why Grace would be involved with the Vajra. She prolly has other objectives in mind. Last edited by ani_d; 2008-06-02 at 21:53. |

I havent had much time lately but i finally got around to episode 9 which was not too bad. Ranka continues her embarassing acts to get promoted. I really enjoyed the back story on Michale since I like him as a character. I had no idea his past with his sister was so tragic. I am was surprised by he and Alto's altercation their personalties are kind of polar opposites. Looks like we are going to get SherylxAlto time next week.
Did anyone else laugh when Klan bitch slapped Michale in his Valkyrie? He even made her cry and that i could not forgive Klan is the shit even though she got owned by the mr red baron pilot.

I disagree.
The voice commanding Brera to destroy the Vajra nest in this episode sounded more like Kikuko Inoue (Grace in MF). It sounded specifcally like the voice she used for her character, Miria in the anime Claymore.

Watch the part from 6:29 -> 7:08. The Frontier presidency is discussing about a new nest and wanting to get samples to learn more about Vajra. Grace is there spying on them. This directly corresponds to Brera's orders to destroy the new nest and not allowing Frontier to get any samples. I'm quite certain that Grace is the one behind Brera and that's her real voice. She probably uses a higher pitched voice when she's around Sheryl.

If you do mean ep6, what do you want her to say? Ranka deliberately lies and Alto is forced to lie, but you think Alto is the only one should feel guilty? She doesn't deserves an honest answer in the first place.

Well if indeed that Sheryl is a Nome or more specifically a decendant of Mao Nome then Sheryl is viewed as a pawn then.
In fact some speculate that Ranka and Sheryl has the same capabilities. The only difference is that Ranka has whatever material is inside her that resonates with Sheryl's earing. It could be that Ranka and Sheryl are two halves of the puzzle which the hidden factions served by Leon and Grace are trying to solve. |
