5D's 41~44
5D’s episodes 41~44. Random opinionated comments, spoilers of course.
●In real life, I oppose physical punishment. But this is fiction. And I have never wanted to slap around a character as much as Aki. She still dares to be offended and act like a victim when people don’t like her, just because she TERRORIZES AND DOES REAL DAMAGE WITH MONSTERS.
●She even makes Yuusei annoy me, when he calls her a comrade too easily. Yuusei, if you throw that word around too much, it loses its meaning.
●Oh great, now we’re stuck with her. With allies like this, the enemies look better. I don’t want her as the heroine and I don’t want her paired up with Yuusei.
●Her poor father had to give a big speech about it, but it boils down to something like “I’m afraid of you, but I love you.” Too bad they used it here. It sounds like the definition of an abusive relationship, but I might have liked to see Jack saying it to DS Carly. Or would Jack never admit he was afraid?
●Next up, the all-talk episode. In with all the talk about fate or destiny or whatever, Godwin has some things to say about Dark Signers. “They are the souls of the dead who have awakened to their powers - namely, they are no longer of this world.” Whatever that means.
●He also says there is absolutely no way to restore them to the people they were. None at all. Which, to me, means there probably is.
●Especially because he admits he doesn’t know what happens to the people who are “sacrificed” to summon the Earthbound Gods. They’re considered missing, not dead. If it were only Misty and Kiryuu, it would be one thing, but Carly also summoned an Earthbound God, and we can’t have her being a mass murderer if she’s going to be paired up with Jack. (I have no problem with her being a killer if it’s only Divine.) The sacrifices are only missing, so they’ll probably come back, so Carly’s not a mass murderer, so she probably will be paired up with Jack, and that means she can be saved, and if she can, so can the other Dark Signers.
●By the way, why did Misty spare Aki after she’d summoned her Earthbound God? The Dark Signers seem kind of soft for villains. Probably Aki’s killed more people than they have.
●Not only does it annoy me when Yuusei calls Aki nakama, it also annoys me when he calls Kiryuu yatsu. That’s your team leader, show a little respect!
●I’m still not convinced Godwin is a good guy. I’m sure there’s something he’s not telling the Signers.
●One Japanese fan site suggested that, since Godwin is apparently a good guy who seems like a bad guy, it would be cool if Crow were really a bad guy who just seems like a good guy. It’s just speculation, but I agree it would be cool.
I had to watch this disc on a system that doesn’t have very good sound, so I may have missed things. As much as I dislike the thought of sitting through Aki’s story again, I probably should replay the disc before writing any more comments.
