Just finished episode 12 of Kill la Kill and there’s two things you need to know (lol). Spoilers btw.
One, holy shit Ryuko and Mako get a room. Could they get more gay? I’m not entirely sure. Just… the way Ryuko looks at her, she’s the only person who keeps her calm, god… Mako I think is obviously head over heels for Ryuko and has been since episode 1 but I think Mako might be like pansexual for everybody all the time in a romantic sense. But in a platonic sense Ryuko is very much her only bff. Anyway, that’s a pay off if I’ve ever seen one.
Two. Satsuki is a fucking fascist bitch and I’m… not entirely sure how the show plans on redeeming her? Because obviously she’s being redeemed. With the other people the show just introduced she’s no longer the main villain, and given how they’re treating the four and her, well… But like, they were pulling out fucking references to Hitler in the first episode so… like the show knows how terrible she is. So how you do redeem the fascist dictator? Genuinely unsure how that’s gonna work. Unless it’s fucking aliens. Or like an existential world ending threat you know? It’s like yeah you suck but we kind of need you and your clothes making empire to make sure the world doesn’t end so just… get better and it’ll all be okay! We’ll be friends. Or something.
