In another word, you are putting up a bunches of random assumptions, then find the most easy target among the SSS to lash out all your hatred. Much like how you describe Yuri's action

In my opinion, this is one of Tenshi's mistakes. Many people, Otonashi included, would not have fallen into Yuri's battalion had Tenshi calmly and reasonably explained the situation. Quote:
Imagine, you've died and arrive in a new world, utterly confused. Someone welcomes you and tells you a random girl is an angel. You see that random girl conjuring steel blades out of nothing, use shields that deflect bullet and create after images the likes of which you've only seen in movies and anime. After witnessing all that, would you with your confused head still not believe that first persons words about the girl being an angel might be true? |

The main problem I have with the characters is that nobody is trying to find out the limits of this world and are fine with playing out this high school fantasy(for the most part anyway). Nobody has tried to run away or tried to blow up the school or just walking in a random direction and seeing how far they can go. *Points at Dogma*On a more serious note this same issue came up in BSG and I'll admit that I have no clue what an angel does or even looks like but I would argue that the popular view of angels is that of beings who are physical manifestations of God but not constrained by physical limitations. I mean how many pictures or even just mental imagery do we have of Lucifer taking a leak or wanting some chicken. In this case it doesn't matter so much what angels actually are but what would be common sense for the main characters who interact with Tenshi on a daily basis. |

Also, it's not like i have information and can attack his private life, family or individual characteristic. I don't even know if he likes Angel Beats or favour any certain character. The only thing i have of Skyfall is his above post Quote:
- 1st paragraph: She didn't call "the people there who don't agree with her position" NPC. She called them NPC due to their behaviors - 2nd paragraph: She was not the one to establish SSS, or even started rallying people to fight for her cause - 3rd paragraph: she didn't target Tenshi or even think her as a number 1 enemy simply because she's the God's avatar

The later though, agreed. I hope they mention that being tried at some point in the story. Quote:
Again, strange place, total confusion, people start explaining things to you, things start to make sense. It's human nature to accept the things that make sense instead of wondering, that's how gods were created in the first place: to explain the things that didn't make sense. Yuri and the others are merely doing what humans have been doing for milenia. People don't understand what's going on, someone comes up with an explanation, people go "oh yeah, that makes sense" and believe the explanation. |

Bear in mind that what we have to work with are only theories too. Unless canonically stated by the author, we are basically working on assumptions and crafted ideas. For all we know, Kaname may still well be an Angel, just different from what we usually expect Angels to be.
Also, hindsight is 20/20. Cheers.

omg yuri is such a bitch.......
I felt so sorry for tenshi. I've also wondered whether tenshi is actually just like them another human who died and came to this pseudo highschool world. Perhaps the reason she hasn't disappeared even though she goes with the flow is the fact that going with the flow itself is out of the norm for her hence the reason why she still doesn't disappear. If that is truly the case then I really feel bad for Tenshi. Otanashi needs to man up and talk to her or befriend her cause no one else on his team will.

And I'm not arguing against Yuri being an idiot. She even openly admits that herself. What ticks me is how you are saying that she didn't plan and research things right and just jumped to conclusions prematurely. If you've really read up to chapter 4, you'd know that she's still not sure on what Kanade actually is at that time, which led her to formulate a plan which capitalized on their current situation, killing two birds with one stone. You do know what I'm referring to, right? And of course, they're not rebelling for no reason at all. If you payed attention to the exposition in Ep01, you'd know that the SSS (or at least, Yuri) has witnessed, in the past, humans who had either become indistinguishable from the NPCs, or just disappeared while doing regular school activities like how the NPCs do them. Now, this may have been simply a misunderstanding/misobservation, but it presents enough of a threat to their current existence that they chose to not follow the rules just to prevent these accidental disappearances.
