THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So, the most important question is about to be answered: how can Chirico match a PS in ability?
They've been suggesting for a while now that he is a PS. I really hope they come up with a better explanation. Chirico is, no doubt, not a PS. As far as we know, he didn't have any enhancements done to him. Besides, he doesn't need jijirium to survive either, so saying he is a PS will leave a lot to be answered, and will most likely ruin this arc, if not the rest of the series, for me.

I haven't seen or read other VOTOMS series other than this and I'm still currently watching this series as of this post, just a speculation on my part, I assumed Chirico might be a naturally evolved PS. I understand that the definition of the PS earlier in this series was that they were cybernetically enhanced, programmable, jijirium dependent, etc. which fits the description for Ypsilon and Fyana but Chirico might be a product of extensive combat training and coupled with his actual battle experiences honed his skills that he became by all definitions a warmachine by himself when he is inside an AT. That's of course only my opinion and I could be wrong as I progress through this series.

Ypslon's got nothing left except his pride. XP
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

How strange. While I wasn't looking this series stopped being about Fyana and the people who have interests in her and started being about Chirico and Ypsilon's little fatalistic dick-waving contest.

Those 2 should really end their battle as soon as possible.It's getting a bit old.

Ypsilon is too stubborn to change his ways, although he didn't shoot Chirico when he had the chance.

Chirico's friends seem to be okay, but he has to face Ypsilon once again. This may be the last time.
