Yet now they are back without any real reason and were joyously talking about killing the king. Though Lucile's absence in this episode could easily be explained by foreseeing how meeting Ryner could recharge Sion's depleted batteries.
    Lucile's death threat was at Ryner (who really couldn't care less).

    To Ferris, he promised to flatten Wango Dango House.

    Funny, having finished Berserk recently only now can i see the parallels between it and LLH

    Also is it just me or were the yaoi levels off the charts on this one? Again, more Berserk parallels...

    What's a lynchpin anyway? And what did Froade meant with Milk being Ryner's lynchpin?

  6. #146
    Isn't a lynchpin kinda like the pin in a fan holding/supporting things?
    You are here alone again
    In your sweet insanity
    All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
    Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
    When all the world turns away to leave you lonely

    A lynchpin is synonymous with someone/something being indispensable or important, especially for maintaining stability.

    I don't understand how Milk can be indispensable for Ryner's stability. I would understand Ferris... or even Kiefer. But Milk?

    Yeah, it's indeed pretty hard to see why it would be like that. Because Milk was a person Ryner managed to save? There are others, though. Because she's not afraid of Ryner and even likes him? That could be, though there are others.

    However, we also need to remember Froade only knows what he knows. He could be interpreting the situation incorrectly just as well.

    I think it's because should she die in the line of duty Ryner would feel her death was on him yet again

    A guy can only take so much guilt until he explodes, literally in his case

    Well, thats indeed plausible... guilt plus the information Froade has.

    At this moment Froade looks more like the final boss than Gastark.

    Well final boss in the sense of the anime maybe, but overall Gastark seems to be the Big Bad of this tale

    Ah yes... thinks will definitely end in an epic battle with Gastark... but Froade's methods seem more ruthless at times. Maybe because we've seen more of him.

    Probably. The pink dudes going around the various countries are doing more or less the same thing (eliminating people).

    Furoade visibly indulges in it.

    Indeed. But the dude (whatever his name is) already lost both arms, so I don't expect much battle from him in the future.

    Somebody should have told that to Deidara the Armless ninja...

    Edit to below: Oh right, i forgot all about that. Zabuza would have been a better example though.

    The sudden importance of Milk might be an anime effect?
    Maybe in the novels it was clearer from the start how important she is.

    I like "Froide" (Cold, feminine genre, in French), not so much for his gay vibes, but for his overall stature, way of dealing with things and his life.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    One excellent quality of Froade was revealed a few eps back when he was about to die after the Gastarkian assassin with the light ring and the gem of blue flames spoiled his bloody party. Unlike many stock villains that act all tough as long as everything's going according to their plans but turn into miserable losers the moment something irregular happens, Froade clearly accepted the fact that all who draw the sword will die by the sword. I like this manner of villains the most.
