petroniaThe infamous Bleach chapter 179 itself, it turns out, answers all the questions Charmian and I asked each other yesterday and then some. Kubo Tite, you fail at shounen. Please to go write Dickensian-period shoujo manga for Hana to Yume kthx. ...No, I kid of course. Stay and subvert the WJ dominant paradigm with Ooba and Obata sensei-tachi.
Tonight I make paella with Justin. He asked me to burn him the Bleach manga, so I did (with Death Note to pad out the CD, ohohohoho). However he's only been watching the anime, so I cannot break out my store of nuclear spoilers. Physical hell.
Actually, something the Trinity Blood anime is either purposefully leaving out or leaving unclear is that Ax agents - Abel especially - tend not to kill unless their hand is forced. For instance, in the first episode it's not Abel who makes the guy squish his own heart; he was latently hypnotized by Rosen Kreuz to commit suicide before giving away any information. Their usual goal is to arrest the vampires and hand them over to the Inquisition for questioning (mind you I don't know what happens to them after that...). There's even a standard legal formula for it that goes something like, "John Doe, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, I place you under arrest upon suspicion of forty-seven counts of forcible exsanguination."
However vampires are tough to kill. It has to be the standard silver bullet through the head or stake through the heart or chopped in two at the neck, or they won't die period. So a lot of the time, Abel or Tres would immobilise the arrestee by, like, shooting their arms and legs off and leaving the torso to wiggle on the ground in wrath. ^^;;;
Finished RAM 1, back to Mirage of Blaze 16 (almost regrettably, as methinks the entire cast heads for North Africa in ROM 2 and I'm always up for a starry night in Algiers). Naoe just found the patch of grass Takaya bled over before the ambulance crew carried him off. Rairyuu is in big trouble. XD
