are death drives suicidal and looking for their ultimate deaths then?

is bravern a reformed death drive? since we now know death drives have human pilots inside too like lulu

im sure superbia can be piloted by smith at some point too while lulu can pilot that new robot they have which is mind control

Too self-awareness and not enough gayness (I'm not gonna satisfied with just the information that Smith has full body wax)

Anyway, I make up my own metaphor to compensate that by looking at the Superbia situation. My interpretation is that, Superbia is hetero for his whole life (suggested by strong desire to only have Lulu with him), so his first time with a guy (Smith) makes him feel so disgust to the point that he throw up. Not sure if Smith also feel disgusted by that purple liquid or not, but at least he'll keep trying to insert himself into Superbia.

if this is really freudian theme plot then there should be life drives than just death drives so bravern must be a life drive

This is absolutely insane. It's so much fun and I'm dying laughing here but the dialogues felt so weird, like there every sentence didn't connect to the one that came before it or the one that came after. It's like everything that Bravern and Superbia said was said in a vacuum just to sound cool, not relating to anything that Isami or Smith said.

Also what the F is Bravern kitbashing now?!?!

This show is hilarious. That one deathdrive asking to explode was unexpected.

Lots of new information for lots of new questions I have about all sorts of things.

I wonder if the Deathdrivers are all suicidal (like "I wanna die a good death" stuff) or if it was just the one from today's episode. And are they used by some other force?

Then there's Bravern and Lulu who continue to be mysterious, especially since the other Lulu did not survive the destruction of her Deathdriver. And who reproduced Superbia in the first place?

Aside from that, the humor and BL were on point as usual. I loved Isami spacing out over Lewis getting Full Body Waxing. And they already reached the "aibou"-flag in their relationship!

Also, poor Lewis. He can't ride Bravern. Superbia puked him out. And Lulu beat it to him for the new High-Tech robot. Will he ever get to play hero with his own super robot?


This show scores for me on so many diffrent levels, I hope it won't ever disappoint me!

That is far too plausible and I won't ever get it out of my head now.

This show gets funnier every episode.

Bravern "Lewis is shy about showing his armpits even though he gets full body waxes."

Isami "Full Body wax?" (wait, does that include his private ... ???!!???)

LMAO, I'm dead.

And then the "Semper Fi", Lewis' rejection by Superbia, and the interrogator trying to waterboard Superbia.

This show, I tell you ...

All of this seems like a video game. Cupiridas is that boss who keeps respawning until Bravern gives Isami the hint that they need to destroy the tower using a custom made weapon. Sperbia and Cupiridas are NPCs that can only pair with a Lulu but Bravern is the player character (Isami)'s machine.

The ATF autopsy Cupiridas's 3.0+1.0 Rei AyanamiLulu.
The CIA WATERBOARDS A ROBOT.
Smith thought he had a chance to be the secondary-hero like but similar to how Bravern is paired with Isami, Sperbia can only accept an immature Lulu in his cockpit
How are life-sized weapons and robots made? BRAVERN'S JUST BUILDING GUNPLA IN HIS ROOM.

A pretty mid episode. The action scenes weren't anything special, but there were some funny lines and moments.

@teraphIl1000 i share the same sentiment. the transitions were also done super poorly on this episode, skipping between Bravern and Smith's fight at the worst possible times and yet seems to speed through the whole thing.

Kind of dissapointed by the latest episode, it felt rushed and confused, like it was trying to squeeze 2 or 3 episodes worth of story into one, and the fight was really badly choreographed and animated compared to the previous episodes. Unfortunately that's probably a symptom of crunch syndrome but there you go.

@OrangeMoonSG This is exactly what I feel, it's not the same as it was at the start, and it feels like they are rushing things too much and not giving enough time to characters or their development.

Good to see the others fighting the deathdrive and not completely relying on Isami and Bravern.

So there's a Lulu inside them all? Damn. Also are they trying to die? Is that their wish or was it only that specific deathdrive?

Kinda cracked at how that guy was even torturing Superbia using water. He seems like a one trick pony.

So much for Smith's rebirth lmao. Well atleast he got a new mecha which he can pilot with Lulu.

What's Bravern making this time?

The Deathdrive Tower, which houses not just Superbia, but one more Deathdrive, Bravern hands responsibility to Lewis and Lulu to handle the one at the Tower: Cupiridas.

Under Lewis's leadership, all TS units respond with him to take down Superbia, but they should already know that it's not easy taking the Deathdrives down. And with immense firepower, it isn't enough to stop Superbia wanting Lulu back. And no matter how much Cupiridas will spare his moment with the Tower regenerating him each and every time, this is only the beginning of their worries.

Interrogating Superbia is not the same with humans and coming to know that they each have a version of Lulus for their sustenance, the last of which has been defeated from the Tower, Lewis attempts to pilot Superbia, which failed spectacularly, aside from getting promoted to First Lieutenant and given a gift: the secretive Japan-US multi-TS mech, of which Lulu has the capability to pilot it.

With 6 Towers left to go, they still have a long way to go...

of course Lulu can pilot the new mech, that's what she was designed for anyway, before she got "recalibrated" to be the Lulu that she is now lol

Superbia being not completely evil is not something I'd expect from a show about sentient robots.

But hey Lulu's got her own mech now!

So they are using the different lulus to gain power, but Lewis couldn't enter the superbia... now seems like Lulu can use that mental mecha with her abilities
