Kurogane no Linebarrels ep. 3

[ Episode 3: Blue Terror ]
“You’re the worst” must really be a hurtful sentence to hear.

You know, without realizing it, I’ve come to like Kouichi a little more than I did in the first episode. I don’t know the exact reason why but I suppose that it is because I can understand his feelings on a certain level. What that means exactly…even I don’t know but I did feel for the guy near the end of the episode. I can imagine that it’s not easy being protected all of the time, but even worse that you can’t protect the girl that you love (who is being protected by the same person). Still, his behavior is pretty erratic though I imagine it must be all the frustration that’s been building up within him over the years.
I found it interesting how Emi was able to stop Linebarrel from moving. How is that possible exactly? Her existence and relation to Linebarrel are still a mystery and the only guess that I have at this point is that she is, somehow, a part of Linebarrel. It’s probably something else though. I can’t say I saw her “You’re the worst” line coming though. She seemed pretty reserved up till now but it looks like she can be deadly serious when she needs to. I can only wonder what is next for Kouichi though. At this point he doesn’t have access to Linebarrel without Emi which leaves him with his superhuman abilities only. What about his friends? I guess only time will tell how they will react to him and on how soon he’ll be able to reconcile with Emi.

Being able to sympathize with him, while being in awe of his extreme assholery is what makes him a good character.
Either way, Reiji gave him a well deserved beating.
