NOBODY explains my last questions that what happened during the beginning?
Blue_Buster_Jeff said: What happened to the President of Arus then? Did he got blood-sucked by a Magius (?) after what they did to Amadieus (?) during the start?
I guess NO one gives a shit that this questions that I've been posting on MAL.... possibly NO one knows yet.
^ nothing happened to the President of ARUS as we have seen:
In ep 3 where he was questioning the Magius Council motives.
Since ARUS President was not the one going against the Council like the Dorssia's Fuhrer by secretly trying to steal the Valvrave from Jior, I believe he is safe for the moment.

Wow, you know what, THANGLONG. that would've explained why NOBODY cares from what questions that I've been posting all the time in season 2. I mean why am I the only one here in this thread?
I mean come on during season 1, other people like me also wondering what happened in every single episodes & got so many replies about it anyway.
magicstalk said: Is there any side effects to being bitten by a valrave pilot? I haven't noticed any but Haruto sure seems to act like he's murdering people. Except for the semi-rape incident with Saki, although she ends up consenting, I don't see anything wrong with their urge to obtain human DNA. I could see it being a problem if they all start wanting to rape everyone but it seems likely that that urge won't manifest as long as they bite and drink some blood. And lastly, they can just drink blood packets right? Although, I can see them arbitrarily making runes extractable only through direct contact.
Yeah the guy is overreacting over nothing. But he always was an idiot.

The next episode is rightfully titled HARD REENTRY.
Ah! yes, now i remember, episode discussions of this show are just as fun as the show itself, lol.
Ahh, I feel bad now. I thought the valvrave AI called Haruto "onii-chan" so I was like the hell...but Blue is her brother huh? Makes sense.
Anyway one hell of a way to start, action packed and the plot is thickening for the better. I didn't get a chance to burst into laughter this episode either. So whatever they're doing this time around, KEEP DOING IT TO THE END.
Pretty good start for the next season. No wasting time. Then again I didn't have to wait for it to be released. Anyway, that guy isn't human anymore. The Megia group is like the Illuminati. They rule everything from the shadows. Still don't know how biting someone in the neck refills Haruto with Runes. There was a 2 month time skip from that big battle at the end of season one. Shoko never told Haruto killed her father. Good episode. I can't see how this show will end.
So pretty much the Valvraves operate as long as Haruto's runes don't go dry.
Best part of the episode was seeing Akira in action. GO AKIRA!!!! ^_^
I can understand Haruto wanting to have himself be tested because of his fits, and who knows if there are long term side effects of being bitten. Saki needs to understand that. He's not thinking about himself, but rather not wanting to put others in danger if he suddenly loses control.
Opening scene launched us into something we've never seen before in s1. But wow, 2 minutes and 15 seconds into the season theyve already/finally answered 1 or 2 questions that they kept us confused about for a whole season.
What. That yellow arm attachment to Harutos valvrave. what. How did he know that was there (besides it being pretty conveniently placed)? where did it even come from?
Runes: okay now we have another answer. Except this one was asspulled. They just invented a new subatomic particle that "makes up information." And Harutos vampire powers are used to steal humans "runes" and somehow transfer it to power valvraves. okayyyyyyy
"Children of the Valvraves?" Damn theyre already adding in all this new stuff before explaining shit from season1..
Good episode. Right we're we left off. Haruto being a pussy as usual. Not surprised. Really fucking wish L-Elf was the main character of the show and not this dumbass bitch. Love the new OP of Nana Mizuki and TM Revolution :)
I think second season will be much better than first one. Oh and the scene where Saki offers herself to Haruto I was like NO NO NO reject her reject her and fortunately he did. One of the best episode so far in Valvrave the libretor series
Amadeus was a member of the council but not deep enough to know everything (still being a human), despite being a world leader. His right-hand-man Cain has been a magius for 10, years now. Much further into the organization. So unlike the Kamitsuki that have their own original body, the Magius must jump from host to host (still aging). The symbol on their cells is also different.
3:21 Best girl Akira continues to save everyone. She is able to use remote-controlled weapons against each-other and perhaps their own user, that could be as powerful as the NT-D system from Gundam Unicorn.
4:38 So Valvrave limbs are interchangable. Plu really hates JIORANs.
Cain considers them the "original pair". So they must be first generation Magius (bodiless, having to live in machines), the council are second (having to body swap) and the third generation are the Kamitsuki with a main ageless body.
Two month time skip and they reached the moon.
7:31 Glad they're still considering the publicity of the Valvrave pilots are getting. Haruto is a revolutionary figure and Saki is getting a huge fame boost.
We the audience know the war is just for show. ARUS aren't going to let New JIOR be independent at all.
Haruto volunteers for human experimentation, to find out more about the Valvraves, the Kamitsuki and to prevent him from going on attacks.
Dorssia, likely using imprisoned JIORan scientists, might be developing Valraves of their own. H-neun has seen Cain's inhuman secret.
11:58 "Madam Prime Minister", "It's a key government figure's duty to maintain her health." L-elf x Shoko and their mutual love of Youkan.
12:55 Finance minister Inuzuka gets sponsorship for his own Valvrave... "Beast High", because the new decal on his shield was in a PV for season 2, I remember a lot of people linking this to the "Cow Empire" theory, nah, it's just an energy drink and a Red Bull parody. There's a lot of bovine imagery, but as of now it is meaningless. "The beast within you will awaken!", and Saki did an ad for it (which Marie suspiciously doesn't know).
Though freed, Saki sees that Haruto has been weak after his attacks were prevented/contained. At this point, they don't know why the attacks occur, but Saki knows Haruto "felt better" after the rape, so she voluntarily offers herself for sex, this time (stating she'd want Haruto to offer himself if she ever raped him). The vampiric traits start to appear but he resists.
Shoko's trying as a Prime Minister, putting her own interests on the back burner, as a father said.
The Valvraves have run out of energy, confirming the hypotheses L-elf and the teacher have on Runes; DNA speech, emotions, and memories. Due to Rune depletion, Haruto attacks people with his teeth to harvest runes, not just for his Valvrave, but all of them, and raping Saki was so that she would turn his own DNA into runes for the Valvraves.
From the teacher's words across the phone to Akira, it seems all of them could potentially attack (Haruto wouldn't be the only one with the ability). I think Pino (the Magius AI), might just target the first pilot, Haruto to get runes, which is why no one else ever has an attack.
Knowing that he must voluntarily feed attack people randomly, Haruto chooses only to feed on L-Elf. Why L-Elf and not Saki who offered herself? L-Elf is the only person Haruto can suck from guilt-free. Despite being a cold supersoldier, he trusts L-Elf the most because:
He knows L-Elf needs the Valvraves fully charged for his revolution.
He knows L-Elf would willingly be bodyjacked.
He empathizes with L-Elf as he knows L-Elf has someone precious.
Whereas with Saki, she rejected his initial proposal so despite her currently offering herself to Haruto, he can't absolutely be certain it's what she truly wants.
Now both Cain presents the chancellor (really Mirko) with Dorssia's knockoff Valvraves.
