The answers are all falling into place now. Consequently I’m enjoying the series more. haha. Maybe I’ve been a little too harsh on the series previously. Weirdly, I’m getting evil vibes from Jin. Maybe it’s hidden somewhere, but I’m probably just wrong. I also can’t help liking the mysterious Jo either though. haha.

Jo, Jin, Sana and Gora are travelling in the truch, when they pass by several scarecrows. But these scarecrows obviously have detectors in them. Later at night while they are sleeping, they are suddenly surrounded by a crowd of youths. However, Jo wakes up and makes short work of them. Just then, an old man appears, asking the youths to stop. It’s actually Chikura Shouzou.

Steve and Renee meanwhile get reprimanded for their failure. Leaving the commander’s office, Steve asks Renee for the reason why she missed while shooting Touraji the other time. Renee blames the helicopter for being unstead. Steve is obviously unsatisfied with the answer, but does not question anymore.

It seems that Chikura Shouzou had set up a dojo. It wasn’t on purpose though, but the youths just seemed to have gathered. Inside the house, Chikura, Jin and Sana settle for tea. Chikura assures Jin that Touraji is a man to be trusted.

Surprisingly, Chikura claims to be Sana’s grandfather. At the same time, Jin reveals that he was requested to take care of Sana by Nobuto, Sana’s father. Sana was absolutely surprised that Jin actually knew her father. Chikura brings them to his lab, but Sana looked tired. Thus Chikura brings her to rest for a bit in his study.

The rest of the youths have gathered in the dojo cleaning weapons. They are discussing the situation between the revenus and logos. In fact, they blame Councillor tsurusawa’s downfall as the reason why they are doing badly. An alliance with the Satsuma is also raised. Just then, Gora is caught evesdropping.

Back in the lab, Jin mentions that Nobuto had mentions that Chikura was his father in law. In fact, he had met Nobuto only shortly before he was murdered. Though it had seemed like a burglary, things were too coincidental. Nobuto had been researching on a Vulcan project, something many countries were interested in.

Outside, Gora has been caught and thrown beside Jo, who was resting on a pile of wood. All this while, Jo ignores them, and starts to walk away instead. Challenged by the assistant instructor, they stand and stare at one another, until the assistant instructor gives way and lets him pass. He says that Jo is harmless, and his stance does not lie.

Jin reveals that he was in the Phatom, something that allowed him to contact Nobuto, since the Phatom had found out that Nobuto wanted to defect. Jin promised to protect Sana in return for Nobuto helping him after he defects. It is also revealed that after Jin had saved Sana, the phatom had actually launched a missle at their plane, and they had to parachute to safety. But having betrayed the phantom, he had no more access to certain documents, hence he decided to approache Chikura.

That night, Jin and Sana go for a walk. Sana acknowledges Jin as the one who saved her. Jin later reveals that his father was a politician. However, he was an honest politician, causing his own downfall, and he later committed suicide. Jin believes his father is weak, but cannot forgive those who caused the downfall either. Hearing this, Sana asks Jin to use herself, so that she can be useful.

Sana hears some voices, and throws a stone into the grass, catching Gora on the head. Gora later goes to Jo, asking him who Jin wanted to take revenge on. Jo does not reveal anything, only saying that he will do whatever Jin plans.

Later looking through Nobuto’s notes, Jin seems to find what he is looking for. Finding Sana playing the piano, he joins Sana for a duet. Halfway through, Sana mentions that some of the keys sound off, but it does not seem possible for a piano to go offtune in such a manner. Jin asks Sana to play the tune that she played yesterday, before Jin joins in. But suddenly, Sana collapses onto the piano.

Thoughts

Oh? So Jin’s father was helping the Revenus rebels, (Star wars anyone?) Jin seemingly wants revenge, although I do hope he has some greater goal in mind.

The Vulcan project. Something genetics related. And probably implanted inside Sana. What’s it. Immortality? haha. that would be so cliche.

All out action next week again. Can’t wait. But the series will only show 2 weeks later though.
