couldn't the representatives get their own personal IS after they pass the academy?

I mean it feels like it would be more sensible and safe that way even though Charlotte, Rin, Cecilia and Laura earned it physically and most likely having connections entrusting armed to the teeth robot suits to them while they’re still pretty young and don’t know any better feels extremely careless and foolish especially when it's obvious that they haven't earned it morally and their behavior is violent, undisciplined and rotten so their countries governments really should have know that there’s a 90% chance that there's absolutely no way they're gonna be good representives and are going to do more harm than good.

I think the smarter play would have been to just send them to the academy without an personal IS to sharpen their knowledge more and help them become more humble and responsible and wait until after they graduate to give them the suits. with Houki it makes sense seeing as how Tabane doesn’t care about anything especially ethics and thinks she can do whatever she wants simply because she can and know that almost nobody can do anything about it.

How could Starkweather be able to sleep knowing Piggsy lived in his attic?

It's most likely combination of having a massive ego and a private military group protecting him the whole night and Starkweather being utterly insane, vile and depraved he no longer has the self-awareness to feel fear until it's right in front of him but still judging from the structure of the attic I'm surprised Piggsy wasn't able to break free much sooner and become another threat to Starkweather and Cereberus besides Cash. Dude is mad lucky that Piggsy didn’t became another threat to worry about until now.

What did Gideon mean when he said this?

I might have missed it but I didn't exactly get what he meant when he asked Grace if she wanted to see what's hidden under the hood but obviously it wasn't good did he wanted Grace to see what he seeing under his goggles?

What are your thoughts on Cole as a person?

I think he was quite an interesting character Rockstar has made. He was domineering, controlling and haughty during his time in the war his arrogance was bad to the point where his whole team were practially cheering when Courtney ended up gut shooting him out of impulse and disgust by not doing anything and help Jack cover for him without a second thought. but his mistakes in the war messed him up really bad as well as gave him a huge reality check became much more compassionate and empathetic even after returning home he still had that insatiable hunger for glory the only difference was that he was trying to be kinder about it and make the right decisions this time and My verdict: Cole is not a bad man but he’s not that much of a good one either he’s just a deeply flawed war veteran who wants to be better and learn from his mistakes.

which date a live characters would you put in the moral alignment chart and why?

This is my personal opinion:

Shido (Neutral Good): deeply flawed and slightly foolish but does fight back against injustice and cruelty and wants nothing more than to be with the spirits.

Elliot (Lawful Good): compassionate and fiercely committed in trying to save the spirits and the world although he can be rather apathetic and uncaring with the way Fraxinus treats Shido.

Tohka (Chaotic Good): jealous and rather impulsive but she doesn’t want to hurt anyone and does her best to keep Shido safe against threats.

Kotori (Lawful Neutral): Black ribbon side can be overbearing, arrogant, self-righteous, entitled, needlessly cruel / abusive at times and rather hypocritical and she pretty much runs a personal mini dictatorship but is very competent at her job and geniunely devoted in keeping the world and spirits safe.

Origami (True Neutral): has no true loyalty to either DEM, Ratatoskr or even the AST despite the genuine relationships she made and doesn’t care much about their goals or ideologies. She just follows whichever path she finds more promising and tempting.

Really any of the spirits besides Miku (Chaotic Neutral): none of them have any really ill-intent towards people and just want to be left in peace but they can get very destructive when messed with.

Ryouko (Lawful Evil): bit of an extremist but cares deeply for her teammates and tries to keep civilians safe and minimize as much collateral damage as possible.

Kurumi (Neutral Evil): cunning, clever, and powerful but callous and rather egocentric she follows whatever path gets her closer to revenge or serves her in the moment.

Westcott (Chaotic Evil): Bloodthirsty, megalomaniacal, vicious and driven by psychotic need for power and to hurt and kill people. Westcott thrives off chaos, death, and pointless cruelty.

what do you think?

how would your moral alignment chart for the Infinite Stratos characters look like?

Tatenashi (Chaotic Good): Mischievous, impulsive, prideful and rather inconsiderate but isn’t as violent and power-tripping as the representatives. She also has enough common sense and empathy to avoid needless destruction.

Ichika (Neutral Good): Kind, gentle, altruistic, and empathic but almost to a fault. He tries to do the morally right thing and stand up for others even when he isn't appreciated or respected or if it will have unfair consequences later on and end up triggering a potentially nasty butterfly effect.

Yamada (Lawful Good): Warm-hearted and sensible. She treats her students fairly and does what she can to keep them protected.

Charlotte (True Neutral): has more moments of genuine kindness but her jealousy along with her delusional and violent sense of entitlement ends up making her just as cruel, abusive and oppressive as those who want Ichika as their boyfriend.

Chifuyu (Lawful Neutral): Stern, prideful, strict, and overbearing but isn't playing favorites. She’s not the most reasonable or compassionate person around and is kind of a tyrant but she’s genuinely committed to teaching her students and is probably the only thing keeping violent and emotionally unhinged teenagers with robot suits in line.

Rin or Laura (Chaotic Neutral): Petulant, domineering, oppressive, violent and driven by domination and a belief that they’re entitled to what they want and do. They will do anything just to get their way without much regard for anything and even if it gets them into trouble.

Madoka (Neutral Evil): Prideful, ruthless, callous and vengeful. She doesn't care about anyone or anything and mostly pursues revenge and power.

Tabane (Chaotic Evil): inhumanly intelligent and cunning but also self-indulgent and morally wicked. She thrives off chaos, amorality and irresponsibility.

I can't think of someone who is lawful evil but what do you think so far?

Would VOUGHT really make another Homelander?

I mean it’s likely that they will seeing as they’re willing to risk anything especially the lives of the others and their own destruction if there’s a chance they could make money out of it but I want to believe that there’s a chance they might not do it either not because it’s too dangerous but for pragmatic reasons, Homelander not only has destroyed most of America but he also caused almost irreparable damage to the reputation of supers (not that all of them were innocent to begin with) and while Stan may be a greedy and unscrupulous weasel who’s willing to do anything for profit but after everything that’s happened he can’t seriously think that anything would be worth dealing with another petulant, narcissistic, oppressive, and bloodthirsty psycho who thinks he's god and has a fondness for irrational cruelty even if this time VOUGHT has a way to prevent new Homelander from becoming uncontrollable and going insane.

I don't get why Lee's group believe the car was abandoned.

I mean there are signs everywhere that it isn't. A functioning car with it's lights on filled with food and supplies that could support you for a month or two left in the middle of nowhere that alone should be enough to tell you that there's no way it's abandoned and that someone must have left that way on purpose. I knew that Kenny would think it was given how irrational and obstinate he can be but I'd expected Katjaa and the others to find it rather strange and believe it belonged to another group of survivors that might still be alive.

Between Ichika and Bear from Obsession who do you think is more cowardly?

Obsession was such a good movie. I highly recommend it. During the movie I can’t help but feel that Bear is practically a darker version of Ichika, less dense and naive but morally wicked and guided by his Insecurities, sense of entitlement and selfishness.

They both know that their love interest or interests in Ichika’s case are a danger not just to them but to other people as well and do nothing about it even remain willfully ignorant about it but in Bear’s case he is aware of it but doesn’t care as long as he’s happy.

Does the AST serve any kind of purpose?

I mean they supposedly been trained to subdue Spirits but really none of them have ever even come close in doing so and are really just there to show how powerful the spirits are the only member that shows any sort of competence is Origami I don’t know why DEM or The Japan Government still rely and have faith in them despite their numerous failures and flagrant incompetence even doing more harm than good sometimes.

Though I’m willing to bet that Westcott knows they’re outmatched in terms of power and strength but uses them to gain knowledge on the spirit for Ellen or any other Wizards.

What was Martinez thinking being alone with the Governor?

You would think that he’d have one or two people to accompany him while he’s playing golf with The Governor. He of all people should know by now just how dangerous, power-hungry, egocentric, and remorselessly psychotic this man is and that there’s absolutely no way he would respond well to the idea of calling somebody else “boss” especially his former right-hand man.

would Hosea really have been able to prevent Dutch from going insane?

I personally don’t think he would be able to at least not for much longer. As the game goes on the more it becomes obvious that you can’t control a person like Dutch. even without the trolley incident Dutch was insecure, emotionally unstable, obstinate, entitled, hypocritical, controlling, prideful and has the self-control of a teenager. His grip on reality isn’t that strong and was motivated by a fragile, unchecked ego that was larger than earth.

He will do what he wants to get what he wants and deep down Dutch was really just an thrill-seeking and narcissistic criminal who weaponized charisma and ideologies to manipulates and more or less oppress others even at the end of it all it showed that he never really cared about money at the slightest he just wanted to continue robbing banks until he was no longer able to or someone managed to put an end to it. Honestly it is kind of shocking and impressive that Hosea did manage to keep Dutch under control for that long.

how is it like for men to live in the world and society of Infinite Stratos?

This is all just an interpretation or a theory that I feel like I'm getting so far in the series. I don't think much has changed and everything is more or less the same although due to the I.S being a thing for about 10 years iirc I can imagine that double-standards have become worse than before and judging from everything in the light novels so far it is said that a majority of women have become like really spoiled, overbearing, and tyrannical to where they actually believe that they have the right to order men around and browbeat or deter them into submission if they push back even treating them like second-class citizens for no reason other than because they think they can.

there are some women who are peaceful and sensible but there are some maybe more that are weaponizing double standards and other flagrantly hypocritical ideologies or propaganda to dominate and oppress men. Honestly this could explain why Houki, Rin, Cecilia, Laura, Charlotte, The Sarashiki sisters and maybe even Chifuyu’s grip on reality is so weak they (except for Chifuyu) is genuinely convinced that Ichika will become their boyfriend despite their overbearing, abusive and wantonly cruel behavior and him knowing that there’s never gonna be a situation in the world where any of them is gonna let him be someone’s boyfriend.

Wish the series was serious enough to focused more on that along with how politics are like in regard with the I.S. What are your thoughts and theories about it?
