So the Prototype can't lie? Anyway Coconna's starting to annoy me by being too clingy to Chirico and acting immature and whiny. And it seems like Vanilla is a former pilot? Interesting!

Vanilla's showed some skill in earlier episodes, and being a former pilot could explain that.

It seems she almost got sent to a far away place for daily rape and birthing so i don't accuse her for being all that whiny there. She had the scare of her life.

Yeah, the definitely implied that Coconna got raped there. Pretty hardcore.

I thought all the bikers were dead, anyway I'd feel more sorry for Cocanna if her character design wasn't so irritating, seriously what is wrong with her thighs?

I'd be less bothered with it if they actually mentioned it during the show but theirs no one telling her to lay off the rations or the bikers making lewd comments about birthing hips or moments where she gets stuck in a small vent or anything like that.

Heck is it even psychical or does she just wear really baggy pants? Is there a shower scene or something that might explain this?

My problems with Cocanna aside this was a pretty decent episode maybe we'l see a flashback about Vanilla piloting during the war since we haven't seen much of said war so far.

I don't think she really has tumors in her thights haha, it's just really baggy pants which make her kinda cute.

Looks like the bikers are back and started making a breeding colony. Poor Coconna, got raped by the silly gang. Not really the best way to get your character raped.

Coconna suffered bad at the hands of the bikers.

Chirico and the crew pulled off their plan, and he's hoping that the prototype will come for him.

I don't think there's really any definitive evidence that she got raped. Looked more like she got roughed up and released because she told them about the heist.

But anime series have pretty bad track record when it comes to glossing over rape so who knows.

very interesting relationship between the prototype and chirico. they believe she cannot lie but i'd wager she can and did.

R*pe isn't funny and I'm disgusted at how it's being treated as a comic relief thing and a plot trigger. The viewer is supposed to laugh at Coconna's reactions to the traumatising event and in fact, not a single
male character that's supposed to be on her side is concerned for her. Instead, her male allies are angry at her that she revealed their plans to the kidnappers and r*pists so she could have a chance at escaping. I don't care how old this anime is, situations like these were never, are not and will never be okay or funny.


Also, Chirico's starting to annoy me with his lack of personality. He speaks so rarely and never shows any emotion. It's hard to connect and relate to a character like this.

This episode is wild, probably one of my favorites so far. Between Chirico's PTSD and Vanilla's ingenuity. Yoshikawa and Toriumi really covered the tone of the series in under seven episodes and I'm still surprised.

its implied that Coconna was raped and then she comes back to hearing that they wouldnt even bother looking for her because shes 'just one girl; so I don't blame her for being upset
