Eh, Basara I can take or leave really - some of the songs he does are pretty good, but they weren't the ones picked to be used i combat in almost every episode, and I have to say I really dislike Planet Dance. 7th Moon, the OP theme, is pretty darn good though... Mylene is better. All the same, with them explained that way I find that your points have much merit. Clearly, Basara is in fact a Real Ninja, and no one realised it because he's just that good at being a Real Ninja. That would also explain why he wasn't concerned by his parachute stunt in the first episode, as a Real Ninja he can fly anyway and the 'chute was just to keep his cover. Ted Nugent is the most plausible source I've seen for the quote "One time I rocked so hard it killed a man," though Jack Black is a good contender also, but Basara rocked so hard he killed a GOD. Not once, but five times. Now that's f*****g metal. Recordings won't do it, though - there was some small response on the Sound Energy sensors, but only when he was actively singing in person and projecting emotion did it have a real effect. The scene where Mylene wants to sing for both of her parents but Max & Milia have been in an "apart period" and are on opposite sides of the stadium, so the cloud of spiritia energy keeps wobbling back and forth until she figures out how to make it split is one of my favorite M7 moments, the more so because it begins the process of reconciling the luckiest bastard in Macross and the woman who's the reason he gets that title.
