Gif was lucky that he lived in a world of gullible idiots, otherwise Revice would've ended much sooner. I would expect more of Gigist and maybe Gaelijah.

The statement made by Germain in episode 40 @ 01:39 (that The Sisters are dolls that were made by dolls) didn't necessarily mean that Glion is also a doll/homunculus. It could also mean that humans were created by the Unholy Trinity. I've already elaborated about those 2 possibilities in my first comment in episode 40 thread. So far, the story and several characters (like Gigist and the other members of the Unholy Trinity) have repeatedly stated and implied that humans were created by the Unholy Trinity. So, that statement by Germain just reinforced the already established internal logic about the Unholy Trinity being Gods that created humans, which then created homunculi. Glion being a homunculus had never been shown, stated nor hinted at, except for that one ambiguous statement. If anything, Glion being a homunculus created several new questions, such as: When/why did the Unholy Trinity create Glion? What function did he serve, as the Unholy Trinity had already created humans? Are there other proto-homunculi besides Glion? Is there a connection between Glion and the Alchemist of Dawn? Etc. It would only make the story more convoluted.

If the golden Rubik cube only contained a copy of Glion's soul/consciousness, then how could the revived/copy Glion have the identical body/appearance of the original Glion? If the golden Rubik cube only contained a copy of Glion's soul/consciousness, then the the revived/copy Glion should only have the original Glion's soul/consciousness but have Germain's body/appearance. If the writers' excuse is "but Glion can do alchemy tricks so he can change his appearance at will", then I can only put the palms of my hands and my feet in my face, haha.

There's even a problem created by Glion's soul-copying technique in episode 42-43. If Glion is already a master (maybe even the master) at creating numerous amount of homunculi, then why doesn't he simply copy his soul into the bodies of blank homunculi, effectively replacing the homunculi's souls with his? He already managed to copy his soul into his favorite golden Rubik cube which was used by Atropos to revive him in episode 41. If Glion has already mastered the soul-copying technique, then why does he need a meandering plan in episode 42-43 to steal Kenichi's Isaac AI technology, which is also another technique at copying a human's soul? Don't know! This story has several logical anomalies that are very hard to resolve.

Speaking of Gifu, he didn't only live in a world of gullible idiots. He was also one of those gullible idiots, haha. No matter how idiotic and abominable Revice story was, it was nothing compared to (God forbid) Geats. If you said that Revice would've ended much sooner if everyone was not a total idiot, then (God forbid) Geats would've had no story at all. If Sueru had simply pressed the reset button on his universe simulation virtual reality video gaming console/supercomputer to reset the DGP/Sims program, then (God forbid) Geats wouldn't even have had a second of story, haha. This is why you never make the most powerful character in your story the villain. If you do so, then you'll create God-level logical anomalies that are almost impossible to resolve, if not actually impossible.

Unless there's a way to permanently remove the malice attraction from the equation.

Definitely not the first time we see their appearance, but the first time we see how they appear. The story had never shown, stated, nor hinted at how Mechanichani became Mechanichani, or how Gigalodon became Gigalodon, or how Happyclover (my favorite Chemy) became a mixture of plant/fairy/Precure mascot creature, haha. This is the crucial internal logic that should've been expanded on very early in the story, not in the last 20%. Then again, it was my hypothesis before watching this episode. After watching it, not so much. It turned out Kamedoon was just a Chemy drawn and created by Kid Sabimaru and his older brother. Underwhelming.

Gotchard has the bad habit of showing a great, grandiose premise and then executing it in a half-hearted, underwhelming manner. This story's got huge amount of potential, be it from the internal logic or the plots/conflicts/intrigues, yet 50% of them are underwhelming and 30% are completely wasted.
