To Star Driver's credit it seems to have gotten it's plot moving quicker than most 70's/80's super robot series did. There's a reason I can't watch the original Mazinger Z or Getter Robo despite my love of all the re-imaginings and spinoffs from the 90's and 2000's. You mean Lois? |

Whatever Sugata's fate is, I really hope his new LI isn't pink haired girl. Would be eye-roll worthy if she was just because she used her First Phase power in where she can charm any man she kisses. >_>

Of course, I could be totally wrong in that Sam is merely just the story of Takuto before he came to the island, or even that Sugata is Sam (even though I fail to see any parallels). But that's how I see it now.

I wonder if the story is less literal than about symbolism of the situations. Sugata awakening could be similar to the ship. They got what they wanted (Sugata awake), but the price seems to be exceedingly high. Sharing of their pasts in the previous episode (a secret moment that strengthened the bond between Takuto and Wako). Can find parts that could apply to either side. Could also be foreshadowing for what'll happen. Really at some point I think I get it and later I'm not sure about the story. Will just have to think about it more.

I think it's foreshadowing in that Takuto is going to have to choose between Wako and a dream of his(probably seeing his dad). Sugata in this case will probably commit suicide as he's about to hurt Wako (they brought up the knife and so they have to use it at one point) and thus going to sleep leaving everything to Takuto who doesn't want it.
Who wants to make bets I'm way off and Sugata is the one who breaks all the seals? |

You know its very possible that Head himself is Takuto's father? Duckroll pointed out something good that Sam could be two people and Takuto is either a alternate metaphor or a red herring.
Lets look at a few things the first being the referencing of the story of Star Driver to the story of the Little Prince.
Mainly going to focus on Head here. First thing to note is the name 'Banishing Age' sounds abit like immortality doesn't it? With that out of the way lets move onto the painting by Takuto's father way back from episode 1 it was watermark 'R' with a lone single girl overlooking an ocean. Of most important note is Head's name being Reiji Miyabi so he fits this criteria first but there is more. If we first assume Head maybe killed his love in order to fly into the galaxy the girl in the painting maybe and was also the one who caused the death of the last King making himself the leader. It could be that Head and Takuto are a juxtapose of this earlier quote assuming they took two different paths. Quote:
We should also note the interesting relationship between Head/Takuto's marks following the hebrew alphabet, Resh = Head/Taw = Seal. Taw when paired up with Mem and Aleph makes up 'Truth' which corresponds to Takuto's "Break the mask of lies" quote. Truth is all emcompassing and lies are narrow and deceiving perhaps Head by being the conceited man he is deceiving himself. Res when paired up with Shin and Kuf makes up 'Lie', it may be that quote referred to him directly. There is also the fact Wako's asked quite bluntly how long Takuto had his mark, for about a year. It maybe that to inherit the mark the last owner has to have died or forfeited the mark, in this case since his grandfather was the last and maybe died. His father could've forfeited it and it'd be the same thing as dying and Wako's grandmother may have known this. Its been made clear before Sugata could've forfeited his mark should he have wished.

And so the love triangle has reached the point where its 1 or the other. Im betting by the looks of the next ep sugata is going to cut ties with wako and our galactic pretty boy.
Im almost 100% sure he will, or something else that leaves the battle undecided will happen. Either way it wont be in anyway humbling for takuto IMO. More so it will be a plot thickener. He has struggled, he would have had a seriously hard time with that girl that could read all his movements if not for her "checking him out" scene. Do try and remeber he is a stage 2 cybody, while the others could be lesser stages.

Well, I was afraid they were going to go in this direction though maybe it was obvious they were. I don't know why, but I've generally disliked the whole "friend turns evil" plot very much.
Of course, not sure how much is brainwashing, though I wouldn't be surprised if Sugata's now just not hiding any resentment he feels about his position or something. Well, I'd guess that Sugata will be the one to beat Takuto and take control of the Crux, though I suppose he'll just need to beat him up physically since he shouldn't be able to use his Cybody still. He may indeed be the one who ends up breaking all the seals since in a way that would allow him to get off the island. Well, since Sugata's now an antagonist I wonder if any of the Crux might join with the Takuto and the others, though that doesn't seem likely at all since pretty much everyone there seems to be a selfish jerk. While I do hope Takuto actually start losing a bit so as to facilitate more character development, I really do hope to see him completely demolish a few particular members or at least see someone else do it.

I think we'll start seeing him get knocked around more like with Sugata as well as others who have marks. Of course, if he loses then they break the seal on Wako. Then again, it's hard to believe that isn't going to happen at some point. After that I suppose it would be protecting the other maidens and probably failing there as well until they succeed completely in their goal.
A little curious who the final boss will be though I suppose it's way too early to speculate on that. Sugata certainly has the potential, what with having the King of Cybodies and all. Next episode could contribute to that happening depending on how things go. If Sugata stays on the Crux's side though, it's going to be weird for them at school. And yeah, Sugata looks quite sinister in that pic.
