Daniel Craig in »The Mother« (dir. Roger Mitchell, 2003)

Why am I the only one around here who I’ve ever seen talk about about this デート?

Like??? I have so many questions? Does the fact that this デート was made into an official card mean that it’s something we can consider to have actually happened?

Does all the merchandise around the デート also point to it being more than just non-canon fluff? Was the デート a considered plot that was ultimately cut? 

Why did Akira Amemiya ever even decide to draw this bikini pin-up of Ryuko Matoi for the trashy smut mag Nyantype that not only includes Senketsu in the image, but also features Ryuko holding hands and frolicking around with him in what’s literally termed a デート? (After all, it’s harder to imagine Ryuko as your “waifu” if she’s already with somebody else.)

And, if the デート is something we can consider canon, when did it happen? Why did it happen? What ever spurred this on? Was it Senketsu’s idea? Ryuko’s?

Does the fact that Mago, a head character designer on Space Patrol Luluco and the artist behind the “chibi” Kill la Kill merchandise, drew fanart of the デート just this last December hint that there are folks at Trigger who are also interested in doing more with the  デート, even now? Does it hint that there was something more with this デート that never came to fruition?

Is the デート just a fantasy illusion Ryuko has after Senketsu’s death about what she wishes she could have done with him? Or was the  デート a spur-of-the-moment escapade that Ryuko and Senketsu didn’t tell anyone else about? Could the デート have happened during that time Ryuko and Senketsu disappeared together for a while in Drama CD 2?

Ummm... Guys... You all realized last night’s episode was an AU, right?

And that The X-Files is known for throwing episodes with zero continuity in the mix?
