You're pretty hostile for a Canadian bro.
But how can you be sure, do you have some fact that can prove it? or are you just making a baseless comment because you nothing else to say other than "you're mean, douche and not nice"?

Now correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it was you who took this thread of topic. Does that also make you a douche for "befouling" the thread with hateful messages? you could have just said that same thing in a PM with out bothering other people.

Quick question: Was that fear in Koko's eyes when she left spoiler[the police station and flashbacked to Chinatsu saying she will turn them all into swiss cheese, and the police captain telling her the gang and her couldn't leave the hotel? Looks like she thought they might be sitting ducks.]


My initial reaction to this scene was that spoiler[Koko was scared for herself, since she didn't have any backup, and she showed a great deal of relief when Jonah showed up. But this goes against my deeper suspicion that Koko has a death wish,] and your theory is much more logical to me.

Considering another poster had asked you put spoiler tags in and you blew that message off, what chance was there that a PM would do any good? You described yourself in another thread as an "attention whore" and I always hate dipshits like that. Never interested in trying to have an intelligent conversation, it's all about you compensating for a tiny penis by getting people to hate you on the Internet. Rolling Eyes

Sweet! more baseless comments, and about penis' no less. I also like how you dodge the comment about you proving anything.

I'm pretty much only interested having and intelligent conversation. But anyone who gets jarred by the level of cynicism I put in my comments of the start would never last in a real debate.

But the PM had nothing to do with me, or what good it would do. It had to do with you making this thread even more of a mess. We could be having this same argument in a PM, but you chose to start it in this thread for other people to see. Now I don't care about that, but clearly you do. It just seems like you are contradicting yourself.

That makes more sense. Fear isn't something I would expect Koko to show considering she has smiled at the face of danger at least 3 times that I can think of.

Btw, I just noticed your username is probably broken up by most as Dirkus Birkus. I had been reading it as Dirk Usbirkus like it was a name Laughing I do apologize Mr. Usbirkus for my mistake.

That's cool, I too was a bit confused as to why you were using the name 'No sferatu21' and I couldn't find out what a sferatu21 was on google. We live, we learn.

Well, I would have preferred if spoiler[Chinatsu had been recruited to the team,] but I guess they are pretty much full up of Female Crazy as it is, so... And I didn't buy the spoiler["you killed my family but I'm going to go all Stockholm Syndrome with you"] thing.

Definitely, there was very little justification for herspoiler[ running round idolising a guy who slaughtered her nearest and dearest] beyond what you've said there. It was great that Orchestra spoiler[got two episodes, thus preventing them being villain-of-the-week fodder], but all their character development seemed rushed since they were shoehorning in as many gunfights as possible. There was a decent bit of bad guy overlap with the Scarecrow dude, they could maybe have used that time to pad Chinatsu out a bit instead, and introduced him the next week. I thought his 'sudden' introduction was a bit clumsy since even the local police didn't seem to know what he was doing there.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Scarecrow guy. I don't see him being any kind of epic foil for The Team. Hopefully, he'll get splatted pretty soon.

Most of the premise for this is how insane the characters are. So the idea of her falling for him with little to no reason is not that outlandish. We can just assume she has some kind of preexisting mental condition.

But I agree, Scarecrow guy is a tool. There was no real reason for him to kill her. But I doubt he'll die anytime soon, he seems to be the "know it all voice of wisdom" for the team.

Jonah is absolutely boring and bland and expressionless outside of his laugh in episode 2, but I think that's exactly how he is meant to be portrayed. This goes back to dirkusbirkus' speculation, but Jonah is pretty much a blank slate right now and Koko(and to a lesser extent the rest of the gang) is molding his personality.


Just because his face remains blank doesn't mean he is blank. There are many examples of when he wasn't meant to be guarding Koko at that time when he's secretly hiding or following, to ensure no one else fails to protect her. He also has his deep-seated hatred of arms dealers for what is probably a rather emotionally-based reason.

You got confused. Scarecrow was the CIA that punched Koko. You are referring to Lehm.

What Blood- meant was that Scarecrow may result causing more problems for Koko's unit (The Team).

Ah you're right. my bad.
I'm bad with name, I genuinely just don't care enough. Hell I don't even remember the names of my current professors in school.

Lehm's a tool, but that other guy's a tool to. For a totally different reason.

Though I really don't see that CIA guy doing anything major. He got brushed off by both the police and the Koko. They clearly don't think he's a threat.

I still want Lehm to die though.

Isn't that kind of the nature of Stockholm syndrome? Also, how convenient that he only fires one shot with the pistol prior to dropping it within arms reach of commando girls eventual locus.

Wait, Scarecrow as the 'voice of wisdom'? Authoritative, sure. Perhaps this is a hyperbolic representation of US military policy? I mean he prances into some foreign country, kicks some kid's face, punches a girl in the mouth, and then announces his impending brand of justice.

You got confused. ggqt meant that Lehm as the 'voice of wisdom.' Not Scarecrow.

Pay attention guys.
