And... yes: Prince is still a twerp. (Please: trying to fight across Teddy? Never going to work, man...)

And, it's confirmed. Of all the dooms in the world, Yihwa's cooking is up there. And, is way more terrifying than anything FUG might do to you. [lol]

I think what impressed him more was Baam attacking and him not noticing.

I think they are going to have to save themselves to prove that they can be a good enough team for Baam. I'm actually kinda hoping Baam stays out of what is about to happen.

Heeee... and, Grumpy puts his foot down: Company Translation is out. grin

Seems like there are factions within factions for definite, then. And, Jinsung, for all his posturing, does seem to have chosen his side. Interesting, no? smile

Nice to see Ship Leesoo again! And a glimpse of Androssi and Anak.

Well, some side stories then a break it sounds like.

Man two years in-universe is a long time. This story has some scale to it.

But then it will be worth it if we get to see most of the original team.

Wow a shinso tech that he can't instantly copy.

I'm also glad that Baam has at least one ally in FUG.

[up]Incorrect. He copied it, alright. He just needed practice to use it with enough strength to make it work right. smile Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a network of crackle damage on that golem for JinSung to go OMG over. [lol]

He still didn't copy it perfectly. Which is crazy for him. Hell after getting the stopping tech he changed it from a touch attack to a distance attack in a matter of seconds. Just goes to show how hard that tech is.

That crazy red hair girl why do I love you so?

I don't think you got me: I read that as the fact that, yes... he nailed the theory. He just didn't have the watts to produce it, in practice, at that point. It's like knowing exactly how to do a gymnastic routine, but never actually having done it before. The mind is willing... the body has yet to pick up the knack when it comes to the muscle-memory needed. <shrugs> A kind of Required Secondary Powers.

As for me, I read it as a bit of both your explanations. Baam had grasped the basics but still lacked the necessary power and skill to pull it off properly.

I like how FUG is treating Baam as their pet god-killing god. Cool dialogue, what with words like "god" and "fate" being thrown around.

A translated version has finally been posted.

Apparently, "the way to learn it faster" is to experience it yourself. Considering what we know of Baam, this probably didn't hurt him as much at the trainer thought and is probably how he learns most of his techniques.

This "side chapter" certainly cleared up a number of questions. The comedy chapters coming up should be interesting...

Although how much of a comedy chapter it is remains to be seen. Is this something that's lost in translation? SIU seems to follow his statements up with qualifying statements, when a more precise statement in the first instance would be better.

But yeah, that does actually clarify a couple of relationships. And make me hate FUG (the organisation) more.

It's possible he's just being self-deprecating.

So they are going to be assigned to watch Baam and company. Interesting.

Just archive binged this — it's amazingly addicting. Even if I did prefer the cast from the first season (I need more Rak and Androssi!) I'll be very interested to see where the next arc goes.

I do want to know more about Baam's backstory — it just seems a bit too convenient for him to have grown up alone in the depths of the earth. Something powerful had to have put him (and Rachel?) there, and my suspicion is that the whole plot so far has gone along with this something's plans — I just don't know who/what it is.

Also, does Yuri Zahard remind anyone else of Tohsaka Rin? Just wondering.

[up]Everybody needs a little more little Rak in their lives! evil grin

"Amazingly addictive"... yup. smile ToG is what got me pouncing on raws every Sunday (barring breaks)... and that's never happened to me before. [lol] I've since found that affecting how I read Kubera, as well... I tend to store raws up for that, though... and pounce on a heap. Strange, the difference...

Yuri's similarity to her has been mentioned by others before, and I just have to take their words for it: never got into Fate/ Stay Night, myself. smile
