Cho Dengeki Stryker [Eng]

Couldn't help wishing someone would punch that Memory Collector in the face. In the end all of this came because of his actions. Ropes a kid into a contract that he could never understand the consequences of and thus begins a spiral of out of control events. In the end Yamato never got what he wanted. A contract like that can't even actually fulfill it's own conditions. It's not Yamato that becomes the Dengeki Stryker, but his body. Sure the body becomes the hero but if it's not the mind of Yamato that becomes the Dengeki Stryker then the wish isn't really fulfilled. Plus what happens to those memories? Do they only have recognition if they are tied to a body?

Regardless the final battle for that arc was kind of disturbing. A kid who had fallen so hard getting killed by the hero he wanted to become. In the end the only thing that saved them was that child not wanting his mother to get hurt. Wasn't really sure how I wanted that to turn out. In the end they had no choice but to kill Mirror simply because the Memory Collector told them so and had their lives hostage.

Have to say that Mirror/Child Yamato really reminds me of the fall from grace of Harvey Dent "The Dark Knight." Someone with pure intentions that was just broken and had to be stopped.

It's a mixed end. I mean things are good for Yamato and Haruno, but everyone else? Most of the other characters got killed off and the ones that survive are going to be leading a tough life. The Captain and Rin have to deal with the losses of their comrades and just absorbing the reality that their pasts aren't real. Somehow will have to make connections and try to forge real lives for themselves.

Some story there. Will have to see how the other routes go.
