ZETMAN

[Kraco]

I didn't expect things to happen this way, but that's refreshing enough too. The old Amagi's full of lies, but what exactly does he want Zet for I wonder. It's not like he can actually control him, and those supposed Players who would go after the Auntie will die off sooner or later with Zet on their trail.

His interest in Zet seeemed to go beyond the official reason he gave Jin, but on the other hand it's very believable he wants to get rid of any evidence, that is, the players roaming free out there. They were originally meant to be kept captive and serve as depraved entertainment. At this point it would be bad if someone connected them to the corporation, especially after all the murders. However, what he intends after that or during it in the background, is another question.

[Killa-Eyez]

It's just something Jin's gramps left him I think. It didn't hold any suppressive powers or anything.

Nah, I meant with Kouga's sister holding the necklace and at the end Auntie giving it to her. It confused me who gave who the thing in the first place. But I get it now.

Sinister indeed.

I thought the tux-guy was working for the old Amagi. And who's the white-caped blue-fire-sword-wielding dude that accompanies him?

The white sword wielder seems to be the sweeper who takes care of any "rule breakers" who reveal their Player identities and go around causing trouble. I see him and the tux-guy as the enforcer's of their ideology/group (if not the leaders/founders), but the tux-fellow seems to like making disobedient Players run into their own doom (eg Zet) while the white one just eliminates them.

Hadena - Episode 05 Definitely watchable quality.

It'd be better for Jin if he could transform without the chewing gum. Perhaps he needs to put some will to it, which could be a problem right now with the hostages. Although I'd much more prefer it if he didn't let such details tarry him. Anybody should realise that when you deal with monster, they aren't exactly expected to keep their promises. From a practical point of view whether he slays this first guy or not, the fate of the girls is likely the same. Well, with the exception that he gets himself beaten, the killers would go free. In theory, since I wouldn't expect the sly guy who talked them into this to let them go in any case.

The girl Jin saved is obnoxious. She got her life saved for a paultry sum (that I doubt she has even paid), yet now she's behaving like Jin belongs to her. Even Kouga's sister is better than her.

I'm pretty confused by that guy. He has an interest in cultivating Jin, but does he also have an interest in making the other Players regress (at least the ones who want to) and wrecking havoc?

Besides stimulating Jin, I'm not sure whether he really wants to:

1) cause trouble
2) provide entertainment for himself (part of 1 I guess)
3) catalyse any potential regressers into doing it sooner rather than later and have the Sweeper get them.

The girl Jin saved is indeed annoying, but she still pales in comparison to Kouga. He'll never outgrow the "kid playing hero" aura of his, ever.

Hadena - Episode 06

[Kraco]

That suit and the weaponry are no jokes. Even if the man wearing the suit is.

I hope the events in this episode don't overly humanize Jin. The preview pic of Zet and Alphas fighting back to back is foreboding in that sense. Even though the geezer tried to teach him otherwise, but I prefer Jin violent and somewhat antisocial.

[NeoCybercoin]

I don't think Jin is arrogant enough to think he can take them all on by himself without risking anyone. I mean there are still bound to be some homeless people crawling around.

[Buffalobiian]

I seriously thought all those homeless bums were going to die when they tried to take on the bugs. For once I'm glad Alphas did something (saving them) since they were nice people. I don't mind Alphas getting his ass kicked in their stead - and should he beat the bug guys without much harm, then good for him.

I'm not sure how I like about Jin getting an external power-up so soon. It kind of cheapens him, almost to the extent like how Kouga is only where he is now because someone gave him a suit and an aircraft. He seems to be an expert marksman though... but that laser prolly has no recoil anyway.

[NeoCybercoin]

Yeah Jin's red form happens later in the manga.So they did rush that bit. Then again I don't think this will run for many episodes.

Whynot - Episode 08

[Kraco]

The Amagis don't look too good at guarding their home base, despite all their impossible resources. You'd think they would have high security indeed around the mansion considering all the players roaming free out there would likely enjoy spilling Amagi blood, should somebody tip them off. But then again, only the next episode will reveal the whole truth.

All EVOL seems to do is sit in a bar and talk about their former glory, so I have no idea how they got such an invisibility suit that even Alphas probably doesn't have. A shape-shifting Player would be more like it.

I agree that their security is quite poor indeed - I got that message not when the mansion was about to be infiltrated, but when the guard drew his gun in case Jin went berserk. As if that pea shooter would stop him.

[NeoCybercoin]

Only now did I notice that Evol is Love reversed.....Fitting as they never got any love from humans.

WhyNot - Episode 09

---------------------













Jin actually likes red-head? I didn't see that coming..

[Kraco]

Jin actually likes red-head? I didn't see that coming..

Is she the sand player? She seems to suffer from sudden headaches and afterwards humans or other living things turned into sand are found. Of course the plot could be suggesting such on purpose, leading to false conclusions, so who knows. In any case, if she's a player, Jin could be sensing it subconsciously and is thus drawn to her, without realising the real reason. He's a player hunter, after all. I suppose Hanako herself would be amnesiac at this point and have no memory of her actions.

[Buffalobiian]

I have no idea, but can't be bothered to check all the instances during which she's had a headache, so I'll believe you. It could be that either she's becoming the Sand Monster, or she's sensing it somehow. Zet didn't seem to be able to smell out the Master or the Sweeper before they appeared, so perhaps he's not as good as we thought he was.
