So Sannova was the mother of the Emperoer, excommunicated by those monks and then they used her stillborn son as some Xamd powerhouse? That's why he's always going on about enemies and loneliness? So the Xamd were created by the new religion by Sannova and her white haired children to stop the Emperor and other human form weapons?

And the military was making man made human forms and Kureshida, who's family adopted Nakimi were working on a way to make their own Xamd to fight back against the South or North...I forget.

And Akiyuki is so good because he finally understood what the hiruko wants which is to live side by side with others? And Nakimi succeeded Sannova and is now the Dragon Shrine Maiden so she can stop the Quickening event where people die to make more hiruko and human form weapons?

So Aki gives his name to the Emperoer since he never had one so he can not lose himself and control the hiruko and his feelings?

And the order that made the Emperor did it so it could end the war once and for all right?

^ Ah..now it makes sense. Well it's not like I don't understand what's happening. I do. A bit. But a lot of the episodes have left me going "huh? Wait what? How? Why?" and I can't help but feel like they've introduced one too many elements in the story without really explaining the others.

"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

I don't get the reasoning sometimes. So Nakiami is going to sleep for 1000 years to stop the event, but her whole reason to stop the event is so she can live with the people she loves and cares about.

And then Akiyuki is doing something stupid like that and in the end may lose Haru?

Man this show is heading towards a shit ending..

I don't know what that scientist dude wanted. He turned to stone. Sannova can apparently create illusions now. She explained how that emperor came into being in the absolute worst way possible. It didn't make any sense. At least the action scenes were good.

I called it. Nakiami and Yango was the couple this show needed. Two kids united in sadness who found each other but could never stay together.

I'm glad Kujireika came back at the end and a had a hand in the battle, even if it ended up being pointless in the end. All these characters carry so much sadness. Some foisted upon them by birth like the emperor or Kujireika, others cursed by circumstance like Akiyuki and Raigyo. 1000 years of happiness works better if you don't know about the time limit.

Sannova is a monster. She doesn't deserve to be called lady. Her OG actions were horrible and her fall back plan would have been even worse. It's unbelievable that so many people put her in high esteem. Kakisu is a saint compared to her.

Akiyuki in Xam'd form was a sight to behold. And the animation was nuts too. It's a shame you can't use Xam'd in Super Robot Wars.

The English dub really butchered the Raigyo and Ishuu scene. The Jp sub was so much better it hurts. I'm gonna rewatch this episode's B part in the Jp sub. Episode 26 is my last Jp sub episode and this half sub half dub experiment will finally be over.
