Just when I was happy with the characters, they seem to lose all sense of reality.

"I'm a dick because of Mai"... seriously? Is that all? Wow. Pretty flimsy...

Still, I can't say I'm not enjoying Gaim. It's still good! Enjoyed the episode.

Micchy has always been single minded about keeping Mai "happy" as he refers to it. That meant keeping the whole Team Gaim in the dark. He cooperated with Takatora in hopes of stopping this invasion, but he has no qualms about Yggdrasil's methods.

Now that Mai knows and furthermore, disapproves of him, he lost his one sole motivation. No wonder he's unscrewed. It's actually quite a natural development if you observed him over the past 20+ episodes because that boy is obsessed about only one thing and that's Mai.

Takatora is going along with Project Ark because he sees no alternative. Remember, unlike Ryouma, Kaito or Kouta, he doesn't know about the Overlords, and it remains to be seen how he'll take their existence. So it's pretty clear what his motivations are: to save the world in the only way he knows how.

Kaito is embroiled in his "survival of the fittest" mentality. He is searching for a way to gain and use power in the coming new world, and feels defeating the Overlords will give him that power.

Their motivations may seem a touch on the crazy side, but they make perfect sense for their personalities.
