!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!spoilers for anyone not past episode 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread is to discuss theories about what is really going on in Samurai Flamenco. As anyone reading this post probably knows at the end of episode 7 monsters started appearing and a villain named King Torture seems to be leading them.

I honestly don't know what is going on right now it could be several things. I would like this to just be a dream or something but the further it goes the more it appears not to be one.

If it isn't a dream my only other theory is that King Torture is a psycho who is obsessed with super heroes like the main character and because of his obsession he figured out how to make monsters and has been simply waiting for a super hero to appear.

please feel free to write your own theories as the show continues

Definitely not a dream. I knew that the second the Gorilla broke a guy's neck. Scene was waaaaaaaaaay too graphic to be "lol, just a dream!"

I'm leaning toward crazy psycho who is Hazama's opposite, created monsters with some evil corporation (as opposed to Samurai's stationary weaponry). A guy who wants to be a super-villain.
Let's go bowling.

Four words: I have no idea.

No seriously, this is the first time in an anime where I actually have absolutely NO CLUE what to expect next!

Well if if they are not going to reveal that the events were not real in the mid-season finale (episode 11), than everything that's going on is real. I still think it can be an illusion, cause everything is too silly and over the top, i could consider it as means in building Masayoshi's character and prepare him to face the real threat - his parents' murderers. But knowing that this twist goes for 4 episodes now, it gets more unlikely with another coming episode. Otherwise it would be strange to build everything more or less seriously just to flush everything down the hole and go in a completely different direction. Well this show is 22 episodes long, they can take the risk of stretching some bits. If not, then i also guess they did that twist intentionally, just need the good explanation why they went all the way with serious part first and introduced us to that insanely crazy change of pace not in the beginning of the series.

This really bugs me, after King Torture letting that Kanna (?) guy go in a recent episode, is he possibly going to be a bad guy of Flamenco soon?

I chose aliens.

Having no knowledge of future plot whatsoever, and just referring to past material, I'd say there will be a new arc in episode 11 (I've finished ep 10).

It's easy to tell that it's extraterrestrial up from end of 7 to 10. There were out-of-this-world stuff found after the explosions of King Torture's remains. King Torture himself is powered by a rock.

Where will it go from here? I don't think it is possible to really predict cause Samurai Flamenco might go on a way different arc again... and anything might happen. Who knows? Some planet might be planning to take over Earth and SF meets a new ally who helps him get a rocket to fight aliens from other planets. Or maybe the Flamencos will be in the spotlight again.

Or more likely, they will return to the realistic scene of the superheroes' identities exposed and the consequences of that.

This is definitely the weirdest of the season, but I don't hate it.

Every time you think you've caught on some other outlandish shit occurs and you're just left there going, "....the fuck?"

The entire plot is just an elaborate buildup that will never be explained to reveal Goto's girlfriend.

What if the whole story is a giant, hero-themed, evil version of the Truman Show? What if Masayoshi has been groomed and manipulated since childhood to become the hero of the show? Including the death of his parents (revealed murder!) mysterious back story from his Grandfather, convenient appearances of people that can help advance the plot or power up the hero, constant escalation of the villains with no pause in between... It's all entertainment.

I feel like Akira knows exactly what's going on, but unlike the Truman Show, it's clear that not everyone is in the loop.

I am still wondering what Mizuki meant by her transfer request. It happened in episode 10 around the 10 minute mark in the episode. I think she is texting Goto, but I would have to agree with PaleBlue on the whole idea of the "Truman Show" theory. Perhaps everyone is in on the "Samurai Flamenco" TV Sentai series, except for Masayoshi. Maybe Mizuki feels bad about the whole thing. Also would be why we haven't seen her lately.
