Good thing he had his meltdown for the whole world to see. He'll be fired and thrown under the bus for incompetence by the GDF. |

I think a way to understand the Fail Five dynamic is that Izuru is the better "manager" and dynamic emotional force of the group. This does make him the "leader" but it's a little different than, say, a Sentai group. Asagi is the better tactical squad leader, but he doesn't actually handle the mainline leadership stuff as well. In this dynamic, Izuru makes a very good CEO, with Asagi as a great VP. (If you ever see in business news with them bringing in a new CEO, it normally means a whole management team. Who they bring along are just as important, but it doesn't mean they can handle the CEO position.) Also, I get the very distinct feeling that Asagi & Kei are our B couple of the series. While we know they've been genetically engineered for this roles, I think we probably need to assume that they have part Wulgaru DNA. This series is playing with tropes left and right (to the point of the 1-dimensional main 5 being intended to play with and develop them from there), so it's not really a stretch to assume they have some Wulgaru built into them. They might not, but I'd be surprised. |

I agree. Also, he's mainly comedic relief. I don't think he's meant to be taken all that seriously. Plus, it's not like he was alone in deciding to reveal the entire battle plan to the entire world. The whole military/government itself was clearly supportive of that.

Since this is a fiction, I can hope for him to somehow get blasted by the enemy’s beam in the lower region first and die a slow and painful death due to the loss of blood . Then Amane can replace him .

My only complaint? Reading the subtitles while those GAR scenes are playing made it hard for me to enjoy it to the fullest. Any suggestions? One that comes to mind is waiting till this gets dubbed.

It's been so long since i've seen such an awesome action packed episode. There were no filler moments, no watching people from the sidelines etc, it was just full on action and I loved this episode

A fighter isn't going to be having propagating feelings. It's "counterproductive" for doing your job as a fighter. Having sex (which is what the raging hormones is all about) and wanting to start a family are 2 different things. Besides, he's already paired with Theoria in the OP.
