| Since Noble Red trio already bid their farewell and and 5th season is about to conclude, I doubt they will return, so let's start the discussion. Did Noble Red redeem themselves? There is recurring theme in this show, that couple of antagonists turns out to be just a pawns, are being f*cked over by Big Bad and eventually are teaming up to take Big Bad one way or the other. For me, this is getting annoying, because as the series goes it becomes expectable and kind of works as a spoiler. But were writers right to pull this off as well? Did they redeem themselves? I'll go with BIG NO. I don't think, that executing one of the most overused cliche in anime redeems them from murdering almost 100000 innocent people, children even, for pure amusement and later on taking whole hospital hostage. |

| Probably since is the last season, also, i just want to end todays review on brigher note~ |

| Considering the fact that they've been put aside by the bigger picture that is the culmination of everything that was happened and why it did, I'll say that while they didn't fully redeem themselves like most of the previous antagonists, they did enough to make me not hate them anymore like I did earlier on. |

Armados said: They were trash from the beginning to their end. Their motivation was fine, the way Kaneko was handling them was atrocious, and having them suffer from the usual Symphogear villain fate of "self suicide" alongside stupid glitter made me annoyed, but what can I expect from the formula man... Well it's not easy to try to utilize their villain roles as effectively as they could've, when the bigger encompassing culmination of the entire story was also going on. |

Uh... they just lasted for way too long, and they felt completely stupid. They were offered several times to create bonds with others but insisted that they can't just because "they aren't human beings". I understand that needing blood to survive is something they can't simply ignore, but they never acted logically according to everything they were saying throughout the season. The fact they took 12 freaking episodes of this season didn't help them, as Fudou and Shem Ha fell short because of that. I mean, I guess I can somewhat understand your point, though there was also the decision whether or not to just dispose of them early in favor of the later, too. Symphogear isn't actually the best with the villain setup and format, but then again, a majority of other "great" anime series aren't good at that, either. |

| Late but yes, they get redeemed. But that's not the issue. My problem with them is that they're weak and forgettable villains aside from Fudo Kazanari (unpopular opinion but I like how the writers had him rot in jail than be killed by Tsubasa). I wouldn't call the previous villains the best antagonists I've seen, but they had something going for them and had some charisma. And I found Milaarc to be kind of annoying so it's good that she's gone. In fact, I forgot about Shem-ha existing lmao. This is one of those cases where I like the main cast way more than the antagonists. After reading Armado's post, it would be best if they removed Noble Red and focused solely on Shem-Ha and Fudo. |
