Nadia, the Secret of Blue Water Episode 20 Discussion

This episode for me at least felt a bit different in terms of tone in certain areas from previous episodes but I still enjoyed it :D

The shot of Lord Gargoyle starring into the sun from his airship and the sun representing the iris and pupil of the eye was excellent from an artistic and symbolic stand point great choice by the animators! However, some of the discussion with his crew made me scratch my head a bit (could just be a mis worded translation XD) because I was certain Gargoyle was an organization that was very secretive and they had a good number of followers but the way they discuss their power and reach makes it seem the have almost the population of a nation rather then several thousand members. They said their economic disruptions allowed them to seize 80% of world trade but that would mean they would have to make themselves known to other nations even if they were perfectly secret in destroying trading vessels various nations who are allies are bound to confirm this mysterious group suddenly is approaching them with new trade lines it would only be a matter of time before they put the pieces together and declare war on this organization. But, again could just be a mistranslation XD and they meant to imply a smaller more secretive network of control and reach.

But, then we get some excellently essential Electra fanservice very important and appreciated as always ^-^ Nadia misses not being around Jean and him not being there (to help with their child Marie XD it is basically how it is :D) but she causes Marie to cry but not actually as it was a trick taught to her by Mr. Sanson 🤣 teaching her you sometimes have to lie and cheat LOL good to see they are as close as ever :) and we get the sneezing when being talked about negatively bit always fun! Grandis looks great as usual even when doing regular things like laundry X3 but all her hard and caring work was ruined by Jean's latest invention and even further ruined when they lose all the laundry due to the emergency dive that had to be initiated but she looked so cute getting angry and being carried away XD I also liked the mental image Marie has towards Electra she did not look half bad looking all over the top scary ^-^

Now I can understand Nadia a bit better since her argument comes from wanting to defend Jean even though he was at fault even if it was an accident and Nemo was right to scold him in fact even Jean understands that! But, I understand Nadia wanting Jean to stand up for himself and where her frustration is coming from it certainly is easier to see her point of view unlike previous instances XD we even get a quick glance at a holographic photo which looks to be a younger Nemo and perhaps Nadia's brother and parents :D

Like I said it is easier to see where Nadia is coming from but her blow up this episode at Nemo was unfounded if that makes sense. Nadia you said you did not understand why Jean was scolded but you answered your own question he accidentally altered the Garfish war sub and thus, put many lives at risk all things considered he got off pretty easy but I suppose this anger and frustration coming out of her is not just about this incident. Also, Nadia come on just because they were able to destroy the Garfish that is not a guarantee and still put lives at risk and the all grown ups suck argument!?! Nadia I am not a fan of slapping but you gotta get some sense and perspective! Glad Grandis was able to talk to her and shift her focus to Jean and his Mother complex 😂 my goodness Grandis I did not realize you were quite the psychologist! And naturally trash talks Electra ah friendship ^-^

At least Electra gave Jean some good advice it is true if you feel that way about a special lady in your life tell her she is beautiful and she will surely be happy to hear that 🤗 of course Jean completely screws it up by mentioning he got that advice from Electra 🤣 awaking Nadia's inner insanity based on those visuals Jean Jean Jean despite being a genius you can be awful dumb sometimes 😆 I mean think about it: well she does not like me spending time with Miss Electra I KNOW I WILL SAY I GOT THE ADVICE FROM ELECTRA 🤪 think Jean! THINK!

Well at least Electra and Nadia talk and bond a bit in the bath and we hear Electra vocalize how she feels about Nemo as well. Also, it is good Electra spells out why they need to stop Gargoyle and Nemo is not an evil man and him and his crew are the only ones capable of stopping this evil menace because apparently Nadia could not put those pieces together herself 🙄 maybe her and Jean are more similar in their thinking then they know 😂

I did really like the way this episode's final moments were the atmosphere seemed to completely shift and it seems Electra knows that Nemo intends to stop Gargoyle at the cost of his own life. Seems a great battle for survival is around the corner and I cannot wait to see how it plays out! So while it was a rather odd episode it still contained some fun throughout!
