Hey people! The otaku is back and I'm going to rant about episode 49. To sum up the episode in a few words, it can be expressed as such....angst, BL and famous troll lines! :D Oh and in case you were wondering, BL simply means boy's love which equals to pure gayness... Yup anyone who watches Vanguard will know that it promotes BL.... and since I am an Otaku, I am not going to just let that fly by me =P For starters, the whole episode focuses around's Kai past, which brings about his much needed character development and we also get to understand how he met Ren and how Foo Fighter came about.
Of course when you have character development via flashbacks for characters like Kai, of course you expect angst! They just can't live without them. As for me, I absolutely hate angst. It's terribly boring! They just keep moaning and groaning about how sad their lives are and it makes you want to go right up to them and say, "DEAL WITH IT! STOP GROANING ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND JUST FACE THE DAMN THING!!! But anime writers love to have angst, because after revealing the angst bit, they can move on to the sweet part. Yup, the character who has a sad past will meet someone and that person will enlighten him and bring him happiness and he will no longer angst and learn to embrace life for that one special person.
Yup, that brings me to my next point. BL! Kai Toshiki, the guy who has such as sad past blah blah blah, has met Sendou Aichi and now is going to rescue him from the evil powers of Psyqualia! The BL bit is not really on purpose, it's just that the way they phrase certain sentences and their behaiviour towards each other (to the extent of obsession), are really quite suggestive. Hence, Vanguard is termed as the BL anime. So bascially, the knight in shining armour, Kai , is going to save the helpless princess and damsal in distress Aichi from the evil clutches of Ren, who has power over Aichi because of Psyqualia. But then in epi 49, where we see Kai's past, we find out that he was actually on very good terms with Ren when they were young, which unlocks a new pairing, kaixren. PS: Ren looks like a girl when he was a kid xD
Also, Ren was seen calling to Aichi through Blaster Dark using his psyqualia and going like "come to me Aichi" You can't blame us for calling this anime BL, the way the phrase it is just too suggestive!!! (Pairing: RenxAichi)
Whereas for Kai, he got Kourin to intercept Aichi and bring him to him.Then he goes about saying that he will save Aichi because he made he realised the true thing about Vanguard and that he won't run away and will definitely save him unlike last time when he was unable to stop Ren after Ren unlocked his psyqualia powers. See! The prince is about to rescue the princess hahas ^^ (Pairing: KaixAichi)
The Aichi's funfact: Aichi would often say in this in the anime: Kai Kun~ I've gotten stronger!
Well guess what, someone says that as well! Ren: Kai Kun~ I've gotten stronger! (See, Ren is Aichi number 2 xD) What's even better is that Kai caught both of them in the exact same manner when they were about to faint after using Psyqualia. This line, is also today's troll line... the only one that makes us want to puke everytime... =3
Ok I'm done with my rant! I think I've talked too much...oops...hehe sorry please bare with the otaku. So yeah, let's look forward to the next episode and see if Kai will win Aichi and save him from psyqualia. Kai: Royal Paladin vs Aichi: Shadow Paladin. (The Kamui and I have been trying to film the same thing as well, but it is really tough as we are trying to imitate the exact moves each character would make, not the mention playing style as well. But we'll keep trying and hopefully complete it in time before the next episode is released and see if our prediction comes true...GANBARIMASU!~
Ok I shall sign off now! Do look forward to our video! We will be posting it soon!
The Aichi~
