@LSBK Both? Like, even in FLCL, she pretty much is the true villain of it, though plenty don't acknowledge this since she's so zany. Her zaniness is partially a surface thing though and she's dangerous beneath the surface. She's undoubtedly amoral, at best.

Even season 1 ended with the revelation that Haruko was truly a bad person for Naota.

Yeah, I think amoral is the best way to put it. We still don't even know what Haruko is after this time around other than that brief name drop at the end of the episode.

Alright, now for Jo Jo. I said last week everyone was on level 65 for the final dungeon, but I forgot Kakiyon was out for the last few fights. He's under leveled at 43. Didn't even get split exp from Ndoul.

So what was their inventory again? One elixer and a skip sandwich DX? Oof, they are not ready.

We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.

Huh fun episode.

It's also fun to see reactions from people who've seen the first series & compare it to now.

@LSBK As for what she wanted in the original, power. To be precise, she wanted to devour Atmosk, the Pirate King, and acquire his power. She fails at her objective in it and leaves, continuing her quest after him. The ending credits of Progressive basically shows her at a later date accomplishing said goal.

Regardless, she's not a good person. Hell, the first anime has a character who, while flawed, is the more heroic type who was a past victim of hers who tried to stop her in the present from repeating what she did to him.

Nurse Haruko tying up Hidomi? Not cool at all.

I kind of feel like, for a show about adolescence, we haven't gotten a lot of Hidomi's interiority the past couple of episodes. Hopefully the next one will be better on that front since they seem to be getting sucked into her zombie mind world.

@ Orion: I really hope they stocked up on Rare Candies. Kakyoin's going to be The Load if not.

Looking cruel, Joker!

I get the feeling those camera angle changes are significant to this character.

Like gambling, soul stealing runs in the D'Arby family.

I'm pretty sure this is worse than his brother's collection, though.

Notice the doll who looks like Mariah?

It's actually not her and totally irrelevant.
