I feel like episode 11 is the last chance to (attempt to) introduce some trimax plot points, with episode 12 focusing on vash vs knives and wrapping up anything with the other characters

this has been eating at me since 2023 is tristamp knives wearing clothes? or is that his skin? is he walking around naked this whole time? bc his face and hands and feet are skin and theres a dividing line at his neck that makes me think clothes, but then at his hands the pattern fades into skin which makes me think no clothes. maybe its something he generates like his cloak? but then again if he's already wearing clothes then why the cloak? its not like he gets cold and it certainly isn't helping him blend in. when he's a kid we don't see anything but his face, but his outfit is a similar pattern to his current clothes/skin and also vash has skin which makes me think clothes, but also its really funny to think that he's just been wandering around buck ass naked which makes me think no clothes.

Imagine how embarrassing radioapple would be from Charlie's pov. "Hey honey this is my new boyfriend" and it's literally a man less than half her chronological age. Who is also her employee/coworker. Who is now dating her dad.

Not exactly a controversial opinion but they're missing the point so badly with stargaze. I was holding out hope and I still don't mind it too much as it's own thing (the trick to enjoying it is to not think of it as an attempted adaptation) but episode 6 missed almost everything?? Where's the unimaginable suffering of vash constantly trying and failing to protect the people around him. Where's knives ripping himself out of the body of his sister. Where's legato puppeting his own paralyzed body around. Where's milly's personality. Why are brad and luida and jessica still alive. Wheres the people vash spares later getting killed brutally. And where is livio???? Its like all the soul is gone and they're just going through the motions. One of the moral dilemmas to me, at least in maximum and '98, was asking at what point does some of the blame, if any, fall onto vash for not stopping these people that then go on to kill thousands. And watching character after character be hurt and die and hate vash and watching this poor man suffer, and admiring him for sticking to his principles even after everything that's been done to him. Stampede handled this a little better, but this season the closest weve got is that one bit with hoppard? And of course they still have time to do some of this, but it's not going to be anywhere near as satisfying with only 6 eps left
