| Holy shit, this was amazing! |
KingCez said: FUCKING YES!!! this is what i was waiting for. time to unfuck my mind now. You damm right, the show is finally living up to my expectations, since that starting setting was so promising, and now this twist... I m still mindfucked, this is so wrong. When Chamber killed that one at the end, it gave me some NGE vibes. |

| When ledo casually kills the eggs and embryos with chamber's hand laser thing: I expected them to be genetically engineered but actually being humans I did not expect. So from what we know I think the non-hostile Whalesquids on Earth are the descendants of failed test subjects or subjects who did not make it to space with the evolvers that became the hostile Hideauze. Once upon a time the ancestors of the Gargantia people knew these Whalesquids are humans and thus agreed it was taboo to kill them but as they were separated due to the rising water levels, they forgot the reason for the taboo while still preserving it in traditions. |

Mich666 said: Since this is a lab they are in I think there are many subspecies of Whalesquid that are leftovers or descendants of leftovers from the experiments, some are more humanoid than others.Takuan_Soho said: The scary thing is that what you wrote isn't necessarily true. The Hideauze could both be human AND a lesser species. We don't know if that is the case, but it most certainly could be true that in the Evolution Party's quest to surpass their human origins to become a space living race they could have made themselves less than human. This we will have to learn. Well, I don't think they devolved - pure opposite, I think they evolved. When the battle of those two factions was taken to space they needed to have better defences against their human enemies that could lead to strenghtening of their nonhuman genes and to forfeiting their remaining humanity in process. Also, those genes in their bodies could adapt and take over with time and now after hundreds and thousands of years they are acting only by instinct - and when something tries to destroy them they simply defend themselves. And they always need more space in universe so they expand to other human sectors. But when tracking origin of this conflict, former Evolvers are to blame. But you are right that due to unforseen mutations there can be more sentient and lesser sentient forms of Hideauze. But this one is definitely more human than ony other: |

| This is the plot that I am talking about. Enough of those swimsuits and gay fan services. |

| So we finally find out what the Hideauze actually are and the moment they found some hints I thought that they would be humans. Reminds me a lot of |
| Ol’ Lido is just a hateful piece of shit. I hope the guilt is unbearable the rest of his life. |
| i suspected the hideauze was manmade, but i wasn't expecting that twist there. |
       |
| I mean... I didn't want to beileve it... |
 |
| So the Hideauze were indeed experiments, and formerly human too. No wonder the developing offspring looked so much like foetuses. Also, Chamber killing the friendly adolescent (?) Hideauze right after Ledo begged him not too was almost humorous in how merciless it was, although still quite shocking. It looked exactly like Elaine as well, but I'm not sure if it was her, or just another Hideauze at the same stage of development. |

| Man, I wonder where that shield ability has been this whole time. Funny how he hasn't used it until now And wtf was that about him being less effective underwater -_- Well at least the reveal was cool. Love how that was put together. I noticed that the whalesquid have something like a head where their mouth is, hinting that they were once human, but also look at the Hideaze larvae, they look human. Pretty cool... But also messed up because Ledo basically just murdered who knows how many. How many people did he just kill for his "mission." It's actually so over. They're going to have to decommission Chamber somehow. They will follow Alliance orders to the end |
 |
| Ahahaha they were humans themselves! I thought their "faces" had some creepy mutants vibes in some shots but I wasn't expecting them to have literally humans formes come on! lmao At least this is better than I expected And wtf was that about him being less effective underwater -_- Eh that doesn't surprise me, pression under water is HUGE (water is super heavy as you probably know), and the deeper you go the higher it goes, while in space, there's like, none at all. In fact it's a miracle the mecha was built for water pressure at all, or at least have the same speed etc. underwater. |
