Lycoris Recoil : Episode 11
Current Episode Score: 5
Hold with me as I try to understand how Kurumi got internal security footage that is a decade old, or why that footage would be backed up. Or why there is apparently a time-lapse video of this random warehouse from the street. Or whatever a skeleton analysis is, and however that worked to somehow age somebody up a decade and match them with other random security footage across the country. Just the amount of computer power it would require to hack and analyze millions of security camera’s footage over a decade would be astronomical. On the level of like quantum computing, it is just so crazy and stupid.
But you know what is almost worse, some Takina using a pistol to blast through steel storm barriers. I don’t know what those guns are, but they are not pistols. And anybody or anything shot by one of those guns should actually be paste and dust. Because they are apparently shooting .50cal rounds. Honestly the weapons in this show just have so very little consistency. Chisato’s super inaccurate nonlethal rounds, are just somehow super accurate and never miss this episode. Even when shooting at targets 20+ft away, something they showed just earlier in the show they can’t do. That was the whole thing holding her back and reason she gets up close, the bullets are super inaccurate, expect for I guess this episode. Also related to her nonlethal ammo, why is it treated exactly the same as lethal ammo? If you shoot somebody with nonlethal ammo in the middle of a fight, there is a half decent chance the guy shrugs off the hit and continues to come at you, which is why nonlethal isn’t used. So why does he nonlethal ammo take everybody down in a single hit no matter where they were hit, or from how far.
On a completely different page, I can’t be the only one who wants to see Majima win in the end. Sure he will probably be defeated or escape, because they require the heroes to win at the end of the day. I always hate that trope that the heroes always win, but that is a different conversation. But his whole plan to reveal Lycoris and the girls, he has won right? By this point these videos have been broadcast and recorded and shared across the globe. American TV channels would have non-stop coverage of the crazy terrorist attack happening in Japan. The Lycoris organization has to be 100% revealed and defeated, technically Majima has won.
