To destroy evil you must become an even greater evil.

Fangz posted:

Some speculation:

1. Hmm, I wonder if the cat-porn video is alluding to something about the cat-ghost. For our hero, his... ability seems to be even triggered by photographs and videos. However the cat ghost can watch his animal equivalent of full sex videos without ill effect. Which either means Yuta's behaviour is unique to him, in which case it's odd that the cat knew about it, or the cat is hiding something.
2. Maybe the meteor is something that happens *anyway*. Which makes the Yuta-effect not a matter of summoning a meteor to destroy the world, but of traveling forwards in time and then coming back again. Which maybe also explains how the professor dude knew that Strange Juice would arrive at the dorm way in the future.
3. Meika being able to launch all the nukes in the world is clearly a Chekov's gun.

1. I'm sure the cat-spirit can in some way be implicated for Yuta's current condition, but I'm not sure how.
2. My interpretation of this is: If Yuta goes unconscious from panty viewing overload, he goes unconscious for an extended period of time, which in turn prevents a chain of events through which he would have otherwise stopped the collision. In other words: He's not responsible for bringing the meteor, but he is responsible for stopping it.
3. Yes, this seems very likely, in some combination with the above point.

Additional speculation: I agree it's clear that the spandex costume guy is clearly whoever currently has control of Yuta's body.. who is clearly aware of how to use the powers and doesn't seem to be effected by the overload issue.

Pretty sure they mean the exposition robot that has a cockney accent in the English dub. Zero III was too good in English to bother with the Japanese track imo.

Oh true. I didn't remember what he sounded like. Also I thought of him more as an AI than a robot.

I was enjoying this show and the new developments of this episode, and then they dropped in a pretty gross pedophilia joke and welp... a bit less interested now.

I thought the joke was that it didn't matter how he sees the panties. Like that there's no loophole. He explicitly stated that he wasnt into little girls because of course he wouldn't be. The joke is too bad, there's panties in that picture, world blows up anyway.

I think that's way funnier than any pedophile joke too so even if it wasn't supposed to be read that way that's how I'm seeing it now.

Huh, didn't think of it that way. I took it more as "There's no way a little girl's panties will turn me on OH NO I WAS WRONG BECAUSE LOL JAPAN". Sort of an over confidence that he's not a gross otaku, and oops! he is. I don't usually have faith in anime to make a nuanced joke over a creepy gag, but I could be totally wrong.

I just saw it as another example of his situation being gamified, I didn't even consider it being pedophilic.

I'm pretty sure he's planning to drop some bizarre plot point or another in every episode. Something very important has happened in every single episode so far.

I have a question, though.

Are we to assume the internet cat porn is filmed by people for cats, or is it filmed by people for other people, or is it filmed by cats for people, or... what's the deal with that, exactly? Like... do the cats on this show know how to work a camera?

Why is anyone worried about the robot being shot? Also why can you kick a robot in the gut? Also how did he tie up the robot and disappear?
