This sequence... I'm gonna need to watch it several times, but it tells us so much about the way the Nanohaverse works.
On a storytelling level, too, having That Which Should Not Breathe explain to his 'daughters' is not only useful for educating the viewers, it's a very strong reminder that just because he's batshit crazy does not make him stupid or unobservant.
I like VI. She's not very bright, I think, but she's observant in spite of that and I really like her attitude.
...boy, shades of SEELE, but in a way that actually fits with the rest of observed history! Their number of genuinely trusted minions must be really low, though... perhaps they'd've been better off taking that as a hint?
...wait. *makes a mental note to double-check what the Nakajima sib's mom looked like*
EYECATCH! *shatters* I've been wanting something like that ever since that bunch started showing up... II isn't present, though. Spoiler, no doubt.
Hee. Poor Subaru. Probably she's had fantasies that started like that, but the real situation ruins it completely.
"I'm sure you won't listen to me if I tell you not to use it..." ...they know each other so well.
Y'know, I'm actually kind of sad we won't be getting the stock transformation footage for this sequence. It'd be absolutely appropriate.
*blinkblink* Yup. Jail's no fool. Pity.
ETA: 'Are you pondering what I'm pondering?'
I think so, Yesy, but where are we going to get a five-hundred gallon vat full of bullet ants?
Ja, -n

"I'm terribly sorry, but I have to kill you quite horribly now."
