Ando Lloyd episode 6
Asahi wakes up but Lloyd is not by her side. She finds him in living room patching hand and asks about it. Hand is ok but with heaviness he tells that spare parts will be impossible to find cause he doesn't have health unit. He couldn't save her. Asahi back hugs him. Hoshi meets with Detective Ashimoto who shows him body of real Sidekick found in storage room. By the time they found body, it almost completely decomposed. So, this is second android able to approach Detective without being discovered. I am bothered by this. Detective is really bothered by this so Hoshi lights him cigarette(he stopped smoking but lighter is from someone important) and proclaims himself next Sidekick. Detective points it and Hoshi just confirms saying that everyone hates him for that, even women. Since you intrude their privacy it is logical. Detective Ashimoto thinks Hoshi would be good detective. BUT he is amateur and would definitely get killed. He tells Hoshi to stay out of this. Hoshi thinks that dying to protect woman you love is cool way to die(grow up!). Besides, he will stay alive. Detective Ashimoto points a gun at Hoshis face.
Later Asahi is making lunch and Lloyd wakes up saying that Detective is there again. He is sitting in the car parked in front of their house. Lloyd thinks he is becoming desperate now when his partner is dead. Lloyd wants to kill him as precaution. Asahi doesn't agree and wants him to promise not to kill Detective. He is Sakis' father after all. Her phone rings. It is her mother saying that she was at doctors and he found something in her chest. She doesn't have much to live. Asahi is really sad but Mom is not, she lived her life the way she wanted and only has one wish left: to see Asahi married. To make it quicker is not possible so Mom asks them to take picture in wedding attire. Asahi can't just say no to dying woman and Mom doesn't give her chance. She asks Lloyd to pretend to be Reiji. He thinks she is proposing! HAHA! Ah, you pretty boys should be used should be used to it it by now. *wink, wink* Any way Lloyd gets suit up and Mom is trilled to see him like that. When Asahi is revealed in beautiful dress looking like princess Mom urges "Reiji" to tell something. Asahi tries to take it back but Lloyd just says that it is beautiful. Dress that is. Asahi pouts. They take a picture and Mom zooms left and right and calls Lloyd Reiji. Asahi has to shout to stop him from revealing truth and orders him not to talk. Also calls Mom to take picture with them. While they share nice moment, Lloyd is preoccupied with guy sitting near who disappears after locking eyes with Lloyd. Obviously android. It makes Lloyd tense because someone is approaching. Tall guy appears(Tsutomu Takahashi, who didn't watch this guy in Soratobu Kouhoushitsu couldn't miss him in Crows Zero) but smiles widely and waves at Asahis'Mom calling her by first name and apologizing for being late. He is Morita Mamoru, PE teacher at high school. At moment he is dating Mom with intention to marry her. HA! Oh and that dying soon thing was a lie. Wtf Mom?! There are some things you do not lie about!Mom herself that she was worried because they postponed their marriage. She asks from "Reiji" to save her daughters' marriage and her life. Are you kidding me? What is worse is that Asahi doesn't scream on her Mom but expects from Lloyd to say something. He just excuses himself. Mom is confused and Asahi grabs her dress announcing that "Reiji" hates lying most in the world. Mom finally realizes that what she did was wrong. Asahi runs behind Lloyd and calls him "Reiji" asking him why is he so upset. He retorts that his name is Lloyd, he took picture as agreed and doesn't understand what means "to be angry". She knows but for the sake of pretending calls him otherwise and attitude shows that he is angry. She apologizes for her mother and asks what is it but he is not sure and disappears to think it out alone. Later her Mother apologizes to Asahi but she asks if she will stay with them. Actually not, she will be with "Mamoru-kun" in hotel. That moment when even your Mom has better love life than you. Mom urges her to pick a marriage date. They say goodbye and Asahi returns home alone(I love what she is wearing). But then she enters in empty apartment. Water is warm, rice-cooker and tv are free for use. She enjoys her freedom for few moments but then gets lonely. Even tries to scream for Lloyd to save her. Nanase is checking fan-clubs' homework. Guys have to do it over but Kaoru wants to show hers directly to Reiji cause "he is world class genius". Nanase has a call from Asahi so she dismisses them. Asahi asks her to come over because "he" won't be there. Nanase is interested in what happened and laughs when finds out. Jealous machine, that is hilarious! She has thing to do so promises to call later and leaves Asahi to think about it. Alas, in front of her building Android from Wedding shop(Iwai Hideto here codename Fleming) is watching her building. When alone Nanase sits in Reijis chair still giggling about Lloyd being jealous of her brother. But her smile disappears when she remembers how Kaoru didn't want to hand her homework. After that she remembers how when she was little, everyone watched her as "normal sister of genius brother". The looks on her mothers' face and fathers' face while looking at her. Also teachers' face. Like all of them were disappointed. Then we see her little version doing something on computer while words of everyone comparing her with her brother, ring in her head. Her finger hesitates above Enter button but words of her father, for her to learn to be like her brother, make her click it. She changed course of a train. Later she is sitting in front of tv watching news about accident and death of her mother and father is announced. She cries. Then turns off tv and laughs. Nanase now is still sitting in her brothers chair. Last Queen is standing in front of her telling her that she is also living in shadow of her brother. She is her parents murderer. Also her brothers murderer. Nanse screams. Asahi is lying on her bed and Wedding-droid materializes in front of her window. When points gun at her, some kind of protecting sphere reacts not allowing him to. Also, Lloyd appears and guys start fighting. Asahi turns around but Lloyd transfers them to his headquarters. He gets upper hand and points gun at Wedding-droids' head while holding him in chokehold. Wedding-droid pleads for his life telling that he is not doing this cause he wants. He even shows Lloyd picture of him and his wife who he would like to return to but can't cause "Reiji Matsushima sealed Time Cable". What did he do? It works and Lloyd, remembering Suppli and Navier, pushes him away telling him never to come near Asahi again. Guy thanks him before leaving. Lloyd is bleeding but more important his "boss" tells him not to disobey orders again. He should find and kill enemy. Lloyd agrees trough clenched teeth. Kadoshiro bear catches his attention and makes him remember Supply.
Lloyd: Supply, did you always have to bear with feelings like this?
Yup honey, try thinking about all people having to bear with them trough their whole life. He decides to charge there holding Kadoshiro bear.
Next morning, Asahi wakes up to find that Lloyd is still not there. She asks him to come out but nothing happens. Looking at clock she remembers when he fixed it for her. With nothing else to do she goes to work even though it is her day off, as Hoshi points. He also asks if she is still living with "him" and when she reminds she told him not to butt his nose he says he doesn't want to stop. I wish she would grow back bone and smack this guy, he is really getting on my nerves. They have this pointless quarrel where he insists android can do her harm and she argues that "he"(Lloyd) will protect her. She believes him. And he did it better than you till now, nerd-nose. She makes him confess he likes her for no reason and says that for her is same, she needs no reason to believe. Asahi wants to leave and in frustration Hoshi yells that she would believe anyone that has Reijis' face. You really know how to treat girl! When she leaves angry, he takes paper out of his bag. It is Lloyds' Wanted poster and there is stated that he went berserk and apparently killed 1 billion people plus world leaders. Damn. He spies gun in his bag and we are finally back to when Detective Ashimoto had chance to shoot Hoshi. Instead he gave him gun that belonged to Sidekick. Just in case. While we are at Detective Ashimoto, he brings his daughter to restaurant they were when she was kid. She is all happy but then realizes it is their last lunch. He ting his money to her account and stuff but Saki is heartbroken. She asks can he ever consider her feelings? She cares for him, why can't he see that? With pictures of Godai and Sidekick in his head he says he can't change his life. All he is doing is to protect her, her mother and her unborn child. He doesn't want funeral or her crying for him. But his spirit will protect her. He pays for lunch suggesting her to order icecream for desert, he even remembers which one she liked. She cries alone at table.
Remaining 3 androids(other twos' codenames are Mendel and Kepler) are talking with Police Cloud(i believe headquarters) and ask about requested backup. Cloud informs them that no help can be send because seal Matsushima Reiji posted is still there. Wedding-droid informs them Lloyd lost health unit(Supply) and doesn't want to kill. Cloud says someone used other way to bring ARX II-13, Supply and other unit. Since only Reiji Matsushima could do it, they are monitoring his brain data but nothing is suspicious. Wedding-droid hears something. It is Lloyd ordering spare parts and new health unit. Btw his Cloud is called Zero Cloud. They order him to go to meeting place and in brain activity place, Reijis' activity gets struck by electricity. Asahi is lying on bed and senses something. Calling names of both Reiji and Lloyd she rushes out searching streets. Girl no!!! Android trio follows. Lloyd wakes from his hibernation ready to move but Detective Ashimoto is there. He reveals he knows Lloyd is not Matsushima Reiji but conveniently for him, someone blocks his every attempt to make something out of discovery. That is why Detective decided to put bullet in Lloyd and find out what is he, betting he is not human. Lloyd points that if it shows he IS human, Detective will become murderer. As we know, Detective has bigger sins on his soul than that so he doesn't care. Lloyd slowly raises hand but remembering Asahi asking him to promise not to kill Sakis'dad, he makes his gun disappear. Detective shoots. Lloyd falls on the ground and stays there which frustrates Detective and he yells for him to move. Not so cold as he would like to be. Lloyds' eyes make that circle thing like when robot is dead but they get back to place. Asahi is still on the street not aware that Wedding-droid is pointing a gun at her back. Lucky for her that she slips and falls on the ground(who wouldn't slip wearing UGG shoes) so he misses and now she is aware of his presence. But she runs into underground parking lot(why???) where other 2 wait for her. Wedding-droid tells her with smile that it is her destiny to die. She argues that it is her fate and why is it in their hand? He yells that rightful future will be obtained with her death but she thinks future obtained by killing people is wrong. In Lloyds' headquarters, Detective wants to know why Lloyd didn't fight back. It is because Detective has family who will feel sadness when he is dead. While standing up, Lloyd presents himself as expendable product without family. Just puppet. Asura System activates and after injecting it(3 left to go), he disappears leaving Detective confused. Asahi is ready to face death but Lloyd appears moving her away. Wedding-droid informs Lloyd that statistically his chances of dying are 100% but Lloyd tells them he will defeat all 3. He asks if wife story is true and Wedding-droid laughs in his face calling him fool on top of being older model. Ugh! Starting to hate that phrase. Lloyd gets down to business kicking some asses but when asks for atomic disposal there is no response. Wedding-droid smirks saying that Matsushima Reijis' brain data was destroyed(so that was it), it means his client is gone. But Lloyd wipes that smirk by again asking permission. He points that he needs no permission from client, for protecting Asahi is his own will. Awesome! Wedding-droid is slack-jawed! Lloyd continues beating. Last Queen already knows about this and thinks if people deserve to live or to die. As Lloyd disposes body of Wedding-droid it seems to burn. Creepy! Other two run away while Lloyd glows with blue light. Asura System is done and even worked more than it should have, but now Lloyd has some fatal injuries and Yukawa OS can't do it. He stares at Asahi while she looks horrified. He falls to the ground, eyes still on her and then his pupils disappear and eyes close. No healing unit. No spare parts. What to do?!?
Asahi spent entire first half of episode being selfish. She even stopped making excuses and just let Lloyd manage everything. Girl he is saving your life, help him out a little! Also somewhere along path she lost her backbone and now we are stuck with Princess Syndrome where only thing she does is scream for Lloyd. And stand in the background doing nothing while he kicks asses. Where is girl who charged at Laplace in episode 1? I am obviously totally disappointed with what they did with her character. Not to mention that they lowered her IQ! Why would you run out of protected apartment to search for who knows what when you know you are hunted by killer androids? At night?! ALONE?! Shortly, in this episode, beside Shibasaki Kou looking really beautiful, we are stuck with worst version of Ando Asahi.
Other than that, i liked theme, family and deaths. I never expected Nanase to be that bold to kill her own parents when she was kid but i obviously greatly underestimate people. That must have been reason for her brother not to protect her.
Difference between Lloyd and Detective is that Lloyd feels weight from killing a person and Detective doesn't give a damn. Detective Ashimoto and his family are divided because of him making a habit out of killing. Than again that divide is furthered by him not being ready to change for his family. Why would you even make family in the first place if you are not ready to compromise? But he does show some care for his daughter and when he talked about making world better place he mentioned her mother without bitterness so i suppose he cares in his own way. And Saki must have heart of gold because she can sense something in him and likes that part of him.
Later Asahi is making lunch and Lloyd wakes up saying that Detective is there again. He is sitting in the car parked in front of their house. Lloyd thinks he is becoming desperate now when his partner is dead. Lloyd wants to kill him as precaution. Asahi doesn't agree and wants him to promise not to kill Detective.
