Great episode. I wonder about Quon's past though.

Wait . . . Was Quon supposed to be one of the girls found? Because didn't they say that happened like 38 years ago? Plus who was the blue haired girl . . . And I really thought that Ayato was Oxillin or w/e the person was, but it was Quon? Then who is Ayato?

So Quon is Ollin, and Mishima is Ixtli? And Ayato's connected to Haruka's past somehow?
Could it be that both were in Tokyo Jupiter when they were kids, and then got separated (or the other way around) ?
Also, what about the blue haired girl? They were found 38 years ago, so what is Quon's actual age? O_o
The only thing I can say is Quon's brother wants to use the Rahxephon using the data generated by Ayato. But the Rahxephon is guarded by Mishima/Ixtli (?) somehow?
So many questions *head spinning*
4/5

I like this theory. I also suspect that when Haruka bought the gloves for "some boy" long ago, she got them for Ayato, and then when he got trapped in Tokyo Jupiter, she hung on to them in the hopes that he'd get out. That's probably also why she was part of the operation to get into Tokyo Jupiter - she volunteered in the hopes of finding him.

The episode I never thought would come.

I can finally drop you in peace.

Thank you, beach episode. Thank you, autistic teens. Thank you, adults who act like high school kids. Thank you, random bullshit here and there.

Makoto and Ayato's confrontation.

Why is everyone acting like the Sayoko ice incident didn't happen?

The ladies want to be drawn by Ayato.

Haruka wondering if Ayato recognises a song from when they were together.

Both Quon and Ayato are Ollins, instrumentalists.

Another beach episode yay!

Also seeing Haruka with that swimsuit O___O



So Ayato actually draws every girl he sees XD

Not bad, not bad at all!

Mcmahon got some big sets :O



"Katun No Sadame" is the song being played on the headset when Haruka was listening to alongside Quon and Ayato.





I guess this just reaffirms that Quon and Mishima are two different people. It was obvious, but I always though they were the same person at first.

So Quon and Ayato are "Ollin"? and Mishima is "Ixtlli"?

Probably some symbolism later on.

Haruka was really worried about Ayato.

"Fate of Kattun" I guess Ayato remembers it due to him being here back then. This is probably why Haruka is invested too much for Ayato. She knows it's the same guy he lost back in that incident. Ayato would be 29 years old just like the reporter said.

Maybe that's why the Uncle seems to also be keen on Ayato. He knows he could be the guy that got lost back then.

So Quon was one of the two girls that got lost in that temple. I wonder who was the other girl? Mishima?



Now Sayoko and that Isshiki guy seems to be plotting something against Kisaragi.

I'm loving this episode! It's giving me not just Evangelion vibes, but also Xenogears AND Xenosaga!!!

I really miss these kind of shows that has Mech and Religion mix into one.

We need more!!!

Starting to get worried that this show actually sucks. 35% of the way through the run and the show has still not explained enough of anything to give a proper synopsis.

There are aliens called "Mu" that appeared like 15 years ago, blew up some cities, and put Tokyo in a weird time bubble that people can go out of with a bit of difficulty but can only go into with extreme difficulty. There's a group called TERRA that is separate(?) from the military/government and they do...something. Mu show up sometimes but its not even clear if they're still city destroying level or what.

Like, that is a pathetically vague level of information for 9 whole episodes of show. There are a ton of named characters but its not like the show is doing anything with any of them. Ayato spent an episode saying "Like hell I'll ever fight in that robot" to then immediately fight in the robot with no complaints for two episodes and then in this episode he suddenly can't pilot the robot during testing for no explained reason. I keep feeling like I'm watching episodes out of order or something because characters behave differently with seemingly no explanation from episode to episode. And most of the character interaction is the old 2000s stereotype of intensely emotional nutjobs constantly teasing and fighting each other as well. Adding to the Evangelion comparisons, everyone in that show is an intensely emotional nutjob but it all goes somewhere and is based in stuff (like, they fight because of jealousy over relationships and whatnot. Not just because they're written that way). RahXephon is just a bunch of disconnected weirdos being weird.

And what the hell is Quon's deal? Is she a pilot or something? I can't remember her doing anything of substance at all yet and she seems to exist solely to be like "Ra-ra? The light...from the air...indeed" and everyone is supposed to pretend like that's an explanation of something.
