Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive in shall we?
You know what the most fascinating part of this week was? The realization that I never thought about whether or not there were people in this world that couldn't use magic and whether or not they were bitter about that!! In hindsight of course there would be groups who are anti-magicians and of course the military is probs not the biggest fan of magicians cause they are loose canons which is why the major focus this week was on the fact that someone was trying to expel magicians from society through biased news reporters. What I'm confused about is what the plan is in the long term cause last I remembered this world is run by magicians and Japan is run by 9 magical families so who would have the power to try to push them out and how would they even dream to stop magicians? This is a world where bombs and bullets can be disintegrated! In other news I think we discovered who that group was from the premiere that was trying to produce magicians that could use magic without CADs through a bit of exposition from Lina and that name is the Seven Sages. They're not exactly humanists but more like people who like disorder and it's most likely possible that like Tatsuya said, they attracted the parasites over after the black hold experiment. As a sidebar this was also the Valentine's Day episode so we got to see a lot of cute moments across the board though poor Miki was heartbroken when he wasn't the only one to get chocolates from Mizuki and I was little sad that Erika didn't give Leo any!
The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 3
This week was seriously everything I ever could have wanted from this show and I'm high key heartbroken that the show-runners didn't go with this as their show premise. Din arrived as Trask and he found the Mandalorians he was looking for though to his surprise they weren't the kind of Mandalorians he expected. As it turns out, he was raised as part of the Death Watch which were the faction of Mandalorians that didn't believe in the more pacifist government style of Duchess Satine during the Clone Wars and then became Darth Maul's Shadow Collective towards the end. It totally explains this plot point of how strict Din was about not taking his helmet off when we've seen plenty of Mandalorians across the Star Wars universe that did though I have to admit when he awkwardly talked shit to Bo Katan herself about how they weren't Mandalorians cause they took their helmets off when she is literally the heiress to Mandalore and can probs trace her lineage back to the purest bloodline and he's just a foundling it was embarrassing as all hell to watch and felt similar to someone who's taken on a culture lecturing those who are born in the culture about what they're doing wrong. Speaking of, I absolutely adored seeing Bo Katan in live action and I love that she's hunting down Moff Gideon to take the dark saber back though I wished the show would have explained how she lost it cause last we saw in Star Wars Rebels, Sabine gave it to her. It sucks that this is probs her only appearance for the season but maybe just maybe we'll go back to her at some point later on in this show's run. I mean we can only drag out the I need to bring this child back to it's people storyline for so long and you would think with how much Din cares about being Mandalorian, that he would eventually rally to the idea of helping other Mandalorians take back their home planet! At the end Din got what he wanted when Bo Katan sent him to find Ashoka and of course I'm really pumped about her coming appearance but I also have the terrible feeling that Asokha's going to be like I'm not a Jedi and I don't want any part of this so you deal with this child on your own.
