Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive in shall we?
I want to start this week's review by shouting out how smart the villains are! We finally figured out what group was behind the parasites and it turns out to be the Chinese but I'm not sure if I can believe what they claim to want. Like Pixie told us, parasites take on the desires of their hosts so if the Chinese provide hosts to the parasites that want to kill all humans in order to protect magicians from being experimented on, then it's basically like the original magicians have all powerful parasites to do their bidding. The thing is that like Tatsuya explained, the parasites have had no problem hurting magicians up to this point so it's possible that the leader was completely lying or it's possible that he was telling the truth and the magicians were just casualties. What's also interesting is that Maya is definitely moving pieces around behind the scenes and all I want is to learn more about her cause she fascinates me the most in this show cause we know so little! I do wonder if she might have overplayed her hand with the Colonel as there's no reason for the Yotsuba themselves to step in and get the USNA to leave unless what the USNA want is the Yotsuba's property. Perhaps that's the goal? Like there's no way the Colonel wants to go to war with the most powerful magic clan so knowing that Tatsuya is under the Yotsuba protection might be the safest route for him. Meanwhile it looks like Honoka unlocked some secret magic powers that the Japanese military who were spying on them mentioned was some sort of elemental magic.
The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 5
Who else was pumped as hell to watch this episode?? I had a feeling that Ashoka was going to show up just based on the fact that Dave Filoni was directing this week and like obviously he would want to be a part of the live action debut for this beloved Star Wars character that he himself created. I also was right in guessing that Ashoka would be a one-off character and that she wouldn't actually take Baby Yoda with her to train cause duh this show would not be the same without him. We did learn though that Baby Yoda's name was Grogu and he apparently was around before the Clone Wars. He trained on Coruscant but was taken away to safety before Order 66 though he's apparently lost his memory since then so it's a blur as to who saved him and what happened to him before he was captured by the Empire. I'm still not sure if I love the idea of Ashoka sticking to the old Jedi traditions cause she of all people should have known that the old way might not be the best way and she's also seen plenty of Jedi like Ezra and Kanan who are emotionally attached to others and were fine. I also did like the shoutout that someone finally called out Din for practically being Grogu's father cause he has been one practically since they met! We did get a new mission though and that's traveling to Tython to find another Jedi and allow Grogu the chance to decide for himself what he wants to do. I wonder if this Jedi that he'll reach out to will be Ezra or maybe even Luke. I could see Grogu joining Luke's training camp that Ben destroys though I can't imagine that Mark Hamill would show up!!
