Episode 7!

-Kobe's such a cool Humagear! It's been teased a bit here and there, but we are given proper spotlight to an "awakened" Humagear is kinda like. It's very sweet how much Kobe cares for his team, and how their passion for the sport lends to his self-awkakening. One could say it's an ideal Humagear/human dynamic, where both parties actively grow and enjoy working together! It's a simple story that hits all the right buttons for me.

-Since you didn't talk about him, it seems like Jin has a new buddy! It's kinda comical how we throw in a new member of MJBR and he kinda. instantly loses on his first appearance. Yua tinkering with the guy before letting him loose again, that's certainly interesting. One would think she'd reprogram it to fight other Magia (tools should be used, and a "assassin" type Humagear sure does sound like a useful tool), but she let it go and cause a mess....sure would love to know the thought process on that.

- I feel like these last 3 episodes kinda begs a certain question: We can live and work together side by side with these Humagears happily if we wish to, but does that involve treating them as less than machine and more like.....human? If Kobe were human, he'd been granted some sort of oppturnity to speak with these parents, to learn of their frusturations, and to form some kind of compromise so that the kids can play ball and study. But since he's just a machine, the option simply is "he's becoming kind of headache, so why just not start over and reset?" G-Pen looked kind of agitated at the the mistreatment of his fellow Humagear in Ishizumi's episode: any human in that scenario would be supported in their decision to leave such a work environment. But....he's Ishizumi's property, isn't he? He can't exactly do that! (Seine's episode can't really be compared to a human struggle For Obvious Reasons, but her only option if Seiji were to be arrested would probably be consficated and then most likely destroyed? Surely an alternate solution (like being given a cosmetic overhaul + potenial reset + shipped to a talent agency looking for Humagear talent) could be arranged if they saw her as anything more as a "walking violation" and more "person who didnt ask to be brought in the world this way" )
