Not sure how to write this one, but the idea is just horrifying: The alliance of two of the top mind-frakkers in all of anime: Akio Ohtori and Gendo Ikari.
I mean, these two are *perfect* for each other, in a Hitler/Stalin sort of way -- an alliance of pure convenience, each knowing the other will betray them
whenever the alliance outlives its usefulness (and knowing that the other knows this, but confident *they* will be the one to betray first), between two men
who are both Grand Masters at finding or making perfectly flawed individuals perfectly suited for certain tasks, and steering them by manipulating the fault
lines in their personalities.
The hard question is, just what do these two have to offer each other, besides First Place in the "I can screw with people better than you can"
contest?
The fun question is, can/will the "pawns" from both series be able to team up and beat the self-styled chess-masters at their own game?
