Spoilers are off. You have been warned.
- What was Leon's plan if the Earthlings refused to house the Baamites?
- Considering he was The Good King, he would still keep on negotiating with Earth to find a compromise as we see New Zealand being the new home for Baamites living alongside humans for example between both races. Sadly, he died before that could happen.
- Why did Isamu Ryuuzaki agree to house the Balmites on a whim, without asking any questions further than "where are the other Balm?"? Why didn't he ask how the Balm refugees would assimiliate into Earthern society, ask about their customs and culture, ask if King Leon's authority counts anymore since his nation collapsed and ask why they chose Earth instead of any other planet? Hell, one of the Balm's customs are practicing public execution, how is a culture like that compatible with Earth's? If the Balmites culture is challenged and rightfully called barbarian, would those who refuse to abandon it be deported? Would they be punished by Earthern forces, or King Leon if they broke any laws/used their Schizo Tech to torture people? What if integration failed, what would be Isamu's plan then?
- Isamu Ryuuzaki might be a Wide-Eyed Idealist who believes that there can be peace and coexistence between humanity and the race of Angelic Aliens even if there are some major differences in culture and morals.
- On the other hand, perhaps he would have tackled and settled those potential problems with Leon in further peace talks if it weren't for the father of Ritcher and Erika being assassinated and Isamu was framed and shot for it.
- Why did Olban send Erika with Richter (therefore putting her at risk of death in the war) if he was in love with her and wanted to make her his wife? Or did his attraction for her bloom after she departed from small Balm?
- Perhaps Olban was hoping Erika will come to hate humans upon encountering them during an Earth-Baam War just like her brother Ritcher did, and it would be easier to convince her to be by his side. Unfortunately for him, Erika remains an All-Loving Heroine through and through.
- Why was Miwa nominated for the UN award in place of Izumi, and not Douglas Banks or any other Daimovic personnel?
- Because Miwa was a UN general in charge of the defense of Earth which he is given credit he doesn't deserve due to Kazuya and his friends did all the heavy lifting.
- Why was Olban discussing his plan to kill Richter in public, where anyone could hear him?
- He is a walking case of Stupid Evil, similarly like Zambajil from Voltes V, although even if someone overhear him plotting to kill Ritcher and tries to tell him, Ritcher will not believe them and doesn't listen to anyone that impedes his campaign against Earth and claim the planet.
- In episode 39, when Kazuya is fighting against the mecha deployed by Georiya, he can't use his left arm because he's injured. But later, he's seen using his left arm. How?
- Four words: The Power of Love. Kazuya powers through anything by thinking of Erika and nothing will get in his way to win.
- In episode 40, Miwa's forces find the Undersea castle. Why didn't Miwa use the hydrogen bomb on it? At this point he was already discharged from the UN so he wouldn't have to worry about being kicked off, and he earlier proclaimed that he was going to kill off all the Baamites. In episode 29, Kyoushiro didn't even dispose of the bomb, he just prevented the machinery moving it from operating.
- Miwa is also a case of Stupid Evil just like Olban in a nutshell.
- Why did Olban need to marry Erika to legitimize himself as the King? He was already universally accepted as Small Baam's ruler.
- Olban wanted to ensure that everything in his reign as king is secured and what better way to seal the deal is to marry the daughter of King Leon whom he had Georiya poison him and frame the humans for it?
- I was reading a review of Daimos and it brought up a really good point about Olban's heartbeat being linked to the Baamites in cryostatis -Review
: "It's all well and good if Olban is assassinated, then he'd want the colony destroyed, but what if he was just hit by a bus while out for a walk one day. Or suffered a heart attack at a intergalactic service station diner. In that case there would be no need for a billion people to follow him into the light."- Imagine if Olban's heart stopped because of heartburn or some other medical condition - would that mean that all the Baamites would instantly die? Does Small Baam jerk closer to Jupiter every time Olban holds his breath? Did he not think through what would happen if he no longer had any subjects to rule? Without an empire, a King would have no purpose, and he would just be another Baamite. If Olban died of old age, would they be left Small Baam-less?
- What was Margarete's purpose at the Undersea Castle? Wasn't it meant to be Richter's base for the Baam warriors?
- Probably trying to be the voice of reason to Richter even though she wasn't quite successful at it.
- What was the point of Olban brainwashing all of Baam into being his slaves, when it would have been easier to just earn their favour by doing his ordinary ruling duties? Most Baam never rebelled against him anyway until he started killing them all of a sudden. Wouldn't turning them into mindless slaves be detrimental to him, because now he's deprived his planet of scholars/creative thinkers/engineers/artists/educators? Apart from his own cult of personality, what did Olban have to gain from this?
