Roy Mustang does not concur with this assessment.
Tatsumi and Wave's armor both focus strongly on defense, and while Tatsumi's has invisibility and strong regeneration, Wave's focuses far more on direct offense. It also flies, I think, though I might be remembering him shonen-style super jumping instead. Hard to tell sometimes.
Also, Tatsumi is really stupid, with the bitch figuring out he was with Night Raid, this is how many times he's been found out and only barely not have the information passed back to Esdeath?
As funny as I would find it that she'd be understanding about it (enamored that her love has become "tragic love"), I really don't think she's going to take it well. Tatsumi is just way too casual about his identity being figured out, in stark contrast to Lubbock. Tatsumi has kept the secret through luck alone, Lubbock carefully guards it.
Night Raid is going to be in deep shit when only Lubbock can operate in the capital openly.
Yeah, at the very minimum, Tatsumi should be wearing his Assassin's Creed hoodie at all times when on a mission. The fact that they ditched their disguises outside of the town is just dumb.
Creed hoodie sparks too much attention.
They should at least change their hairstyle and clothes from time to time.
Peace.
They just did, and it didn't work.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I mean, not disguising themselves but actually changing their look. That way, even without their disguises, the won't be as easily identified.
In any case, I was just making a sarcastic remark about how hair and clothes do not change in anime.
Peace.
Oh, I know. I thought pointing out their recent failure here was better than a practical statement about how artists would have to come up with new character designs.
I have no idea what Najenda was actually doing, but speaking the way she did while remaining hidden was badass, lighting and all.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
She was being badass, that's what she was doing.
I just hope it doesn't get her killed.
Peace.
They never showed the conclusion of Wave & Kirome vs Blondie and Susannoo. I hope that went favorably
Because they didn't WANT it to work. Tatsumi and Mine were intentionally trying to be noticed so that they could draw off their enemies so the rest of the team could get to the target.
HS - Episode 20
---------------------------------
Lubbok's fights are always so good. I didn't realise until this episode that he actually loses his strings. He's talked about using his best strings in certain fights but I assumed he meant sharp threads were proportionally few and he reeled them back afterwards. Consumable Imperial Arms sure have their drawbacks. At least Esdeath's one lasts for her lifetime.
Too bad everybody's going to be hung up about Tatsumi now, and will be rejoicing once they get him back. I really want to see Najenda pay respects to Lubbok when things settle down. He deserves at least that much. How did that dumb bitch survive a throat-cut? I know she got set up, but still.. fuck her.
On a related note, I'm glad Kurome's still out of action. Even in death Chelsea's contributing. :'(
Now's as good a chance as ever to convert Esdeath. She'd be making an enemy out of the empire by releasing Tatsumi anyway (unless she wants to be tricky and kill a scapegoat), so she might as well make the most of it and fight them along side Tatsumi. After all, she loves both fighting and Tatsumi. I haven't felt any real loyalty from her towards the empire anyway.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I'm glad her whole family is dead. That's good news for the population's gene pool.
Najenda sucks as a general. She keeps losing soldiers too fast, without reaching objectives that matter. Slaying random opponents from the Empire's side doesn't really matter since it's the Empire; they have men to spare, as we have seen. New ones keep appearing faster than the old ones die. The same is not true for Night Raid. The operation in this episode was especilly bad in my opinion. It was based on the naive assumption Tasumi and Lubbok can simply waltz into the fricking palace of the emperor without a single hitch. When problems arose, surprise surprise, then that was it, nothing could be done except to lose.
I find it hard to believe Tatsumi simply decided to surrender and get imprisoned. I guess he's the kind of a prideless man who would under no circumstances fight to the death. Sad.
Yeah like I've been saying for half the series now, Najenda is a shit general. When will you fucking learn to stop using 2-man cells. 4 or 5 members can mobilize just as easily as 2.
Well...it kinda sucks they are diverting from the manga like this.They are leaving out so many good moments. No Wave vs Shura. No Wild Hunt. That just sucks. I know they only got 4 episodes left but come on. Lubbock was pretty badass in this episode though despite it going a whole lot differently in the manga. He managed to be a total badass in a different way.
But perhaps they can still fit in one battle they missed into later episodes.
Man. This series is such a bummer.
When Shura first mentioned during his last appearance that he was the minister's son, I thought he was going to end up taking his place during the course of the series. Cause, frankly, the fat old minister just doesn't seem like Big Bad material.
I was under the impression that the lightning bolt had knocked him out. And by the time he came to, he was already captured.
Ohh, so this is a FMA/Soul Eater situation.
So I can pretty much just ignore everything else that happens from here on out.
Depending on how it plays out. If it's going where I think it's going you can still watch. Still got 4 episodes left and a few fights. So if you want to know what really happens you can start reading the manga from where Tatsumi saves Mine.
Well, obviously I'm still going to watch. I'm just not going to care, because I know none of it matters.
Episode 21 - HS
- - - - - - - - -
This show will run out of episodes before Tatsumi really achieves anything or puts his Imperial arms to good use. Night Raid will run out members long before, though...
Esdeath isn't OP much, is she?
They ruined the potential these battles had. Mine's anyway. And yeah Esdeath is OP.
Go read the manga if you really want to see the real deal. Which at the moment...is just epic.
