Kill La Kill

It's Probably Nothing.

There is however, something that is relevant to the series from the ending of the last Space Patrol Luluco episode...

After trying to drive through two portals at the same time (Long story), the Space Patrol finds themselves in another world. A world that has a red, planet sized yarn ball.

Watching for the first time and I went through the first two episodes. The show''s fun and entertaining with great animation but the fanservice, while mainly played for laughs is kind of weird...also the dad in the second episode was kind of a Dude, Not Funny! moment considering he was about to molest a sleeping schoolgirl and it's just laughed off. Aside from that I'm enjoying it.

The uncomfortable humor is mostly gone from episode 3 onwards.

And then it just becomes uncomfortable on purpose. Lots of rapey fanservice from the villains.

Luluco essentially just did an entire tribute episode for KLK, where they go to planet KLK-X. Among other things, it revealed a surprising truth about the Life Fibers.

They are extremely flammable.

Why is that a surprise? And for that matter, why hasn't Satsuki attempted that or I wonder if she had that as a backup plan?

Because nobody ever tried it, and it reveals they could have beaten Nui and Ragyo simply by throwing a match at them

Yea, me and a friend of mine had a funny laugh about that; the whole conflict could have been solved with a lighter.

Also, hearing that "DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAAAAY" felt so fucking good.

I'm pretty sure you need immense amounts of JUSTICE for fire to work on them.

Or maybe just Dark And Dark Of The End.

For some reason that made me think of End of the World...

end of THE WORLD?

Thread is indeed flammable, so it makes sense.

Surely you mean this

I can't remember if there was any fire in Kill la Kill, barring ruins and explosions.

Senketsu on re-entry.

Wow, suddenly things make a lot more sense.

When consider how crazy the series is, that is saying a lot.

It seems not implausible that fire wouldn't work on Life Fibers when they are Activated by human blood, as an aside- That might be why Satsuki never tried it.

It... actually is a little odd that just plain fire was never used in the series. Maybe a part of Life Fiber integration into a world is making sure it's never invented?

I also wonder if Life Fibers evolved to become fire retardant but it is interesting why they never thought to use fire.

Only thing that comes to my mind regarding flame-resistant clothing is asbestos, but that's linked to cancer as discovered in the 70s.

Well, I mean, Elemental Powers are decidedly not the order of the day in KLK, and it's not that likely it wouldn't show up with all the wacky clubs around.

Didn't they freeze the ones in the mansion?

Oh wait, I think I remember one of the club presidents did a fire breathing act in the Fight Club episode. Can't remember who it was, maybe the Table Tennis one?
