Valvrave - ep02

Things start up with returning to the zombie moment parody, it turns out last time that Haruto didn't become one of the undead even-though it is unclear why he was compelled to act like that. Then end result was that he end up high-jacking L-elf the leader of the covert Ops team. What this event creates is something interesting, that by the time that his friends find him already healed. Things quickly change from a happy reunion with the arrival of L-elf comrades, although they don't know that L-elf is possessed by Haruto. This place Haruto in the perfect position to save his friends, although they don't know it's really him.

Then once they manage to escape his friends have a strange way to test if it truly is him. Normally you would expect question that only Haruto would know, but instead they use rock-paper-scissors to verify his identity. It turns out the reason that they use this is because he has never once in his entire life that there is no-way there could be another person as bad at it as he is. The once it has been accept that he is who he says he is this starts them down the path of retrieving Haruto's body but Haruto doesn't just want his body back but the mech as well as that he can get revenge for Shoko. Although while all this is going on it appears that their country surrender to Dorssia, making this a one day war if even that.

This event transitions us into Haruto counter-offensive, which leads him in taking back both the machine and his body. Although one thing he didn't count on was his friend Yukino coming along for the ride. Once he is able to get back into the fight things don't go as well as last time because he is having a difficult time moving in space. What makes it worse is this time around he isn't just agaisnt grunts but L-elf's comrades that believe that he is a traitor. This creates another reverence from Gudam Seed as one of the attackers has lost an eye and is seeking revenge.

When all seem lost, the machines overheat gauge jumps from 100 to 666. This number appears to not have much meaning to the Japanese but to westerners we recognizes this as the number of the beast. That might mean that this mech is not just a machine but it might also be magical in nature, that maybe to pilot it you must sell your soul to the devil. There is another question that this bring up is the reason on why it jump, it most likely has to do with Haruto receive a call from a dead person or someone that he believed was dead. This twist changes everything because he became a monster to avenge Shoko but what valve does that have when the person you did all this for isn't dead. Then his desire change to survive so that he could finally say what he couldn't say but once he is face to face with Shoko once again. It turns out that he could go through with it because he is now a monster and because of that he doesn't believe that he has a right to love her or perhaps anyone for that matter.
