Fun fact: "nat 20 scene" means it is a well-written scene, NOT that what is happening in-universe is necessarily a good thing. This is your reminder that "You should have gone for the head" is a nat 20 scene and it CAUSED HALF THE UNIVERSE TO DIE.

[@TheLoadingCrew]

EXACTLY!

[@stella4228]

Basically means that the scene is hard as hell, right?

[@shelbybayer200]

I thought as much, it just means the scene was really well done to get people going that a specific character is Unredeemable CFW Trick from HyperDimension Neptunia the Animation and Mk2/Rebirth 2 For example is a Deplorable P*dophile type of character so they written a scene that makes you want to beat the Tar out of him

[@autobotskyflame6287]

Regardless of shipping, I think Mako asking her on a date is more a way of getting her to promise to come back.

[@TheLoadingCrew]

agreed

[@kylepessell1350]

It's a legitimate worry. After all, Ryuko at this point in the show had already ran ahead recklessly several times with disastrous consequences. Mako's just making sure that she remembers all of the people that care about her and affirming that she has a place to come back to with them.

[@thrasher698]

For the record Stuart, Ragyo is not *competing* for the title of worst mother in anime. She's been the defending title holder since this series first aired

[@Kitsune10060]

only one who even comes close to Ragyo is Elnora Samaya, AKA Lady Prospera Mercury

[@wajmgirl]

Okay but Ryuko letting Mako beat up on her because she misses that family so much is such a vulnerable moment and getting to make up for dumping all that work on mako too

[@Kpsla]

12:51 I would argue that Ryuko also deserves a Chaotic Good in this segment for standing up for Senketsu by refusing to cooperate with people that treat him like a tool. Though it's short sighted, sticking up for your friends and loved ones is always a good act.

[@baconator_x4098]

One thing this show does that I've never seen is giving the minion (Sanageyama) a second chance and them actually using it. It makes the villain and the minion all the more terrifying.

[@SageofStars]

I feel the translators have to be given some of the credit for this, along with the actors, directors, animators and everything else. Not only did the translation hit everything pitch perfect, but when they changed something for the English Dub, it was for reasons of the audience not being likely to get the reference. For anyone unaware, the scene where Blind Swordsman declares it's 'Laundry Day at Honoji!' and everyone gets onto him because they were supposed to say it together? In Japanese he actually says the 'Enemy is at Honoji!' and the others are making fun of him because of the historical context of that line, involving Oda Nobunaga and his death. Better, when fighting the final villain, in English they decided to retranslate her line, which makes sense in Japanese but wouldn't in English to 'That's what you get when you fight us! It's WTF all the WAY!' which shows that knew the EXACT audience they were going after with this.

[@Cearns9219]

Personally, I always saw Mako asking Ryuko on a date as a purely platonic gesture, considering until that point they have had very little time to just hang out and do fun things together without the looming threat of the plot being in the focus. Sure, there were cuts that implied romantic intent, but keep in mind those were during one of Mako's hallelujah tangents which, while very genuine and sincere, are also very hyperbolic and massive exaggerations of what she's ranting about. Even the OVA didn't really imply any romantic feelings between the two in my eyes and for what it's worth, the Kill la Kill wiki just lists them as friends, so take that for what you will. That's just me though, if you ship them, all the power to you. Whether you see them as besties or lovers, you can't deny that they have really good chemistry with each other.

[@ecos889]

You could say when historians watch this show centuries later that they where roomates.

[@testytest69420]

I wouldn't really take a wiki as hard confirmation either way, since they are rarely written by the actual creators, and are instead fan-made.

[@Cearns9219]

@@testytest69420 That's fair. From what I heard and could find, one of the writers stated that the relationships in the show were written to be open ended, so regardless of your stance on Ryuko and Mako, if that's how you see it then you are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

[@djordjekrsmanovic]

So in an interview one of the writers said that the relationships in the series were written in a way so that anyone can interpret them however they wanted and it's up for the fans to decide who ends up with whom

[@TheLoadingCrew]

This entire anime is just such chaotic neutral energy and I love it! And Ryuko is such an amazing character and I love her massive chaotic neutral energy she brings to every scene she's in. 10/10 anime and main character. Plus Mako is too funny and adorable and is a top tier support character.

[@tristandelasuertemexcla]

Now part 3 this is also very much a story about female puberty Kill la kill is a revenge story with a Bildungsroman storyline First few episodes while boring are a metaphor first period since it’s first time senketsu makes her bleed and it’s exhausting for her since she didn’t expect it to happen also her feeling ashamed and embarrassed is normal for young woman just beginning their puberty and as she learns to not worry about how she looks she regains confidence and power because it’s exhausting when you feel other people staring or judging you which happens a lot during teenage years also the situation with the thief girl id a great parallel of learning who is using you and who you can actually trust. There is so many great allegories and parallels to teenage years and puberty. And I can list more but every episode addresses some aspect of growing up for ryuko and becoming a better and more mature person.

[@lordfelidae4505]

God you could write an epic novel just analyzing the themes and metaphors in this series.

[@tnntaronewsnetwork4514]

When ya cover Satsuki (ha get it COVERS), don't forget the OVA that takes place after the end of the show, I think it wraps up Satsuki's character arc nicely.

[@tristandelasuertemexcla]

As much as I appreciate your view and analysis First makos confession is a grey topic because unfortunately there is a lot of grey area to gl romance in Japanese culture and there is a lot of translation confusion. So it can be seen either way but later on you actually do see them go out and it’s supposed to symbolize a day for the girl to just be girls and go have fun and enjoy each others company and have normalcy something of which Ryuko due to her standoffish and independent nature had trouble doing with others but with mako she is now secure and comfortable enough to do. One point against it being a date is satsuki does join them and they have a nice time hanging out. Either way its now time for ryuko to have peace. I’ll come with my other analysis later busy at work

[@Dadan-dan]

IIRC, and please correct me if I'm wrong, in the original Mako tells her she want to go out with Ryuko (and Satsuki) to go and be 'trendy' (the word used was 'oshare' I think) together, which I interpreted as her wanting to just go and be normal for a chance, do teen things together. Though if it had a deeper meaning it wouldn't surprise me 😅

[@tristandelasuertemexcla]

@@Dadan-dan kill la kill is full of double entendre so either interpretation is valid but unless it was announced by creator i leave it to speculation and enjoy what we have

[@StripesChaosGremlin]

What you said in the post analysis is on point to me. I absolutely loved how the show manages to play everything from the amount of fan service and the ridiculous plot completely straight. Though I will admit I had almost forgotten about the threesome scene but I'm interested to see what you have to say about it.

[@lifadysi9418]

16:12 I'm confused why Ryuko wasn't moved at least one last time this point onward; she essentially saved the world, or some number of the beings in it, anyway. Seems like she have moved up a few times into chaotic good at the end for doing that.

Kill la Kill is one of the few anime I give a perfect ten out of ten. It's goofy and over the top, but it has so much heart, and it's really beautifully animated.

[@jman8725]

As pointed out in a brilliant analysis video by alexzandr the Kamui and the scissor blade represenr a sacred duty that was thrust upon Ryuko and shes essentially duty bound to carry out her vengence while Satskui is bound to avenge her familys death and save the world from hsr mothers tyrannical rule. You also have to take a look at the bond between senketsu and junketsu have between them, Senketsu is an equal partner and friend that Ryuko trusts while Junketsu is a mindless weapon thats obly working with Satskui through sheer willpower and domination. Senketsu is the object thats meant to break Ragyos hold over the world while Junketsu is a tool that Satskui will exploit to acomplish her goals. Senketsu burning in the atmosphere is essentially symbollicaly him telling Ryuko that her mission is done and shes free to live a normal life and be a normal girl. Whereas with Junketsus destruction Satskui has fullfilled her ambitions and brought her only family back to her.

[@Zexceeda]

14:12 as somebody who goes back to this scene every now and then just to feel that chill run down my spine again, ik what your talking about. Imo its one of the most genuinely horrifying scenes in anime in general, and honestly I think potentially the impactful in the series to me. Having Blumenkranz softly playing in the background before opening up entirely sold it hard for me.

[@endarkculi]

Back in my high school days, I was gifted a DVD boxset of the main 24-episode series as a birthday gift by one of my best friends, since we used to watch Gurren Lagann together. And, man oh man, did I love it, and I really enjoyed this analysis of its main character. However, I never did see the OVA/"Episode 25" released alongside the Blu-Ray version, and I hear it has a decent capstone to Satsuki's character development. Not sure if that'll be addressed in two weeks, but either way, I look forward to that episode too!

[@SonicMegamanFan]

Yeah...this entire series is just so...hard to describe. Believe me, as an absolute huge fan of this anime and especially most works by studio Gainax in general, this is one of the number one shows that in all honesty, I can't recommend to just anybody as easily as anything else I watch. And it's not hard to see why. This doesn't just flip the entire magical girl genre on it's fucking rocker into next year, it throws everything in a truck right at your face and jumps off the bridge as well. And the fanservice...fuck me if I wasn't the only person trying to say "Well, it's not a hentai, there's more to it than that" and it'll fall completely on deaf ears. Everyone immediately judges it because of the first thing they see, and that kinda sucks because of exactly what Stuart says here. It's absolutely DRENCHED in so much symbolism it almost hi-5's Revolutionary GIrl Utena for how much underlying hidden messages are everywhere you look. And OMFG I absolutely GUSH over the insane over-the-top fight scenes, that is some of the best combat I've seen in a lot of shows. But nobody's going to listen to me say that's why I watched it, or because the writing and characters are insanely well-done. No, everyone just looks at me and says "Oh you watched something cuz it had tits bouncing in your face, didn't ya?" Kill La Kill is an insanely underrated gem of a show that absolutely deserves every bit of attention it can get, and I will be one of the first people to stand up and say "Do not judge any book by it's cover, this is indeed very much worth it."
