The fact that this 13 year-ish old girl is the leader of a terrorist group/whatever you want to call it. The fact that grown men just instantly accept a child as their leader. This whole idea of the daggers. Where did they come from? What's their power? Miko/screaming crazy spirit/ghost. She somehow makes Atlas stable? Is that magic? So there's magic in this series? The weird diagram that Atlas was built on. Where did that come from? I have a lot of other questions from previous episodes where I was just like whaaaa?? but I can't remember them all right now. I've pretty much resigned myself to stop asking questions and just watch. I'm pretty sure half of all of my questions won't be answered by the time the series ends :/

Kuniko is the leader of Metal Age because Nagiko has been prepping her to do so as the the Sun. Is it any more baffling than King Tut or any of the other various civilizations who have had children as a leader?

Daggers were made to give to the 3 Digmas, as far as I can tell they allow the digmas to see that diagram on which Atlas was built, but seemingly nothing more.

Mi-ko was possessed, I don't think she makes Atlas stable since she's been away from there for quite some time. Yes, magic has been apart of the show since the beginning. Remember that Mikuni has some super crazy telekinesis.

The diagram was explained last episode (or two), but I don't remember because it was some pointless sci-fi stuff.

Feel free to ask more questions. They have in fact given an explanation for most everything "wtf" that has happened. The problem is that they keep adding more on top of the file, and have had a few episodes that are total information dumps.

Things left to cover:
Endless Forest
Kuniko and Mikuni's parents
Ryoko's motivation
Importance (if any) of Sion
Karin's Parents
Sayoko's daughter

Oh yeah, I thought this was an ok episode, but the pace was off since they had to address Medusa, do something about it, fail, reveal to Kuniko and Kunihito thier importance, take Mikuni to Atlas.

Don't forget having all 3 daggers is a requirement to becoming the leader of atlas.


This episode was interesting. I found it a little more exciting then the last few simply because they where talking about how the worlds networks where made up.

Also Kuniko's not 13
Scarily enough she is suppose to be 18.
I think she looks like she's 13 but I suppose when you look
at her grandma's height I guess it sort of works....

I thought she was 16...17 max. That's still a child, especially because she has yet to actually feel like an adult to me. She's definitely getting there, but she has never really come off as mature despite all of the extraordinary things she'd done.

oh wow i didn't know that. where does it say that she's suppose to be 18? It's really hard to believe that, seeing how she's drawn and also for the reasons you pointed out.

Also, thanks noteDhero for explaining the questions i had before :)

It's a mix of fantasy (sacrifices and Mi-ko, special powers) and science-fiction (carbon economy, advanced A.I. like Medusa, Atlas project)

I just hope they will wrap everything nicely at the end...

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

So Medusa has turned into Skynet... Always the nukes aint it. Still it is getting a bit interesting, though some questions are still out there, some episodes still remain so hopefully we will get something.
And Kuinkos age was pretty much given away in this ep when Momoko said that they've been together for 15 years, and they didn't meet until Kuniko was atleast 3 or 4 years old, according to a flashback
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely

15+3=18 (and yes, she appears to be around 3 in the flashback). Just blame Gonzo for wanting to make a flat-chested loli so much that they forgot they were actually designing an 18 year-old.

As for that Sion kid (I'm guessing you mean the stupid white-haired masochist), isn't he there just to waste time? He's just in love with Ryoko's sadism (what masochist wouldn't love a crazy woman who'd hit you in the head and belittle you for fun).

Now then, just finished Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, not the best thing I've seen really >.>
Anyway, time to get up to date with this one and finish it off too.

This episode then, let's see.
Oh please, I'm tired of people being sad of someone's death =.='

Although I feel a little sad for Karin, somehow that's a character that one easily gets attached to (at least I did).

"Nice angle! Nice stripe! .... Nice kick!" : D
Those old guys are pretty fun : 3

Medusa is bat-shit crazy, and goddamn cool! I want one : 3

Uugh.. Ryoko is disgusting : /
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Well, things are picking up rather quickly, which is nice but so far into the series. Stuff like this should have happened long ago.

Yeah Skynet got in to my mind also. Trying to nuke the world and all.
Now how are they gone ever stop her. I hope Medusa doesn't prove to be the only bad guy in this series.

And Mikuni doesn't have telekinesis. It's just that people who lie to her die. That's all. She is not doing it by will.

so medusa still won't give up. interesting. all of it is karin's fault.

also i'm really not liking the soldier boy x kuniko moments. he looks 22 at best and she looks like she barely can qualify as 16. plus, she has like nothing worth talking about, which makes him a loli-predator.....eugh...

Kuniko just ignored the news about Miiko's death lol. Let's count it as her having bad hearing in the heat of the argument.
