Thats the other part of it.

I was mainly referring to his talk with Kouta were he told him that everything would have been fine if Kouta would have had the guts to do the necessary sacrifices.
Like hm and the others killing Takatora wouldnt have happened if Kouta just joined Yggdrasil from the start. But since he didnt Micchy had to kill his own brother to secure a future for mankind.

Oh, yeah yeah. I totally see what you were saying. Excellent point.

The delusion thing is what I enjoy the most about Micchy as a villain; he really, really tries to be this amazing evil mastermind, but fails so spectacularly at it. There's that idea of a person being like a chessmaster - able to manipulate all of his friends and foes without having them realize that they're being played. Micchy wants to be like that, but he doesn't seem to realize that he's not the only one playing the game. He can plot and scheme all he wants, but he's constantly being confronted with better players (the Overlords) or people who just want to say "fuck this" and kick the board over (Kaito and Yoko). The only people he's ever managed to really play are the ones who trusted him before he started playing Sith Lord and Sid, who was a moron.

It was refreshing this week to see him realize that the game was never going to get away and start throwing a temper tantrum. Said tantrum is likely going to get him his ass handed to him (again, of course), but it was fun to see him keep trying to manipulate all of the pieces only to have them move right back out of his control immediately.

Micchy: he's a bit shit at everything.

Oh man, what a cliffhanger. Micchy is so self-deluded and acts like a child, I can't wait for his inevitable comeuppance. I really wish that Takatora had intervened but it looks like we'll see plenty of that next week.

He only needs however many alive as Redyue tells him.

Of course in all likelihood Redyue is just selling him on snake oil and this either won't work in the first place, or it will somehow serve to weaken Roshuo immensely, but that's besides the point right now.

I guess; it still felt a bit odd to me.

Well that's because he is a fruit cake.

Micchy is supposed to be 16 in the show right ?

His immaturity and his willingness to sacrifice everything just to keep the people he likes happy is twisted because he took on too much suffering on himself, his intentions were initially good but the reality of the world was too much for him and turned him cynical and heartless. I guess he tried to be a hero but failed at that too, it's just sad how he never seem to succeeded in anything.

Next episode is Melon vs True melon. I expect Micchy to eventually kill Takatora in a cheap way, we'll see how it goes !

[Blade Raider]

Another week, another great episode. Micchy continues to be a little shit that's enjoyable to watch. I also loved seeing the steaks being escalated once again and seeing Takatora wondering around the set of God Speed Love.

Bonus points to the episode for giving me this idea!
