Ep 24

It's gotten to the point where I've run out of good things to say. This show is a treat every single week and I'll be sad to see it go (on break for half a year).
 
Did I miss something, or is there no real explanation what Smokey and Speedwagon are actually doing there except to provide exposition? I don't think the Foundation really needed the boss there to narrate everything while they actually used the lights!

Speedwagon probably just wanted to see what was going on for himself. I'm not sure why he would let Smokey come along, though.

Because someone need to commentate everything!
 
Man, Speedwagon was hella dramatic in this episode lol.

Stroheim, come on son. You really think fodder characters like you are going to do anything? :P Now Cars is gonna go WUBWUBWUB on your asses.

Next episode should be really good. I thought Joseph was gonna finish him off at the arena place they were fighting, but no, Joseph is getting into an airplane and shit. Interested to see how he's going to kill a godly being.

And question: They tried to hide the ripple from Joseph but he learned of it anyway. From who though? Straits? Joseph seemed to already know Straits judging by his reactions after he heard that Speedwagon "died". But shouldn't Straits have known to keep the ripple a secret to him?

The Ripple ability 'awakened' within him since his youth, that's the only explanation the manga provided.

OK. I'm not sure how he managed to just learn how to take the types of breaths necessary for providing a good ripple by himself...but OK.

Could be he learned it by himself FROM practicing and obeservation, keep in mind who his mother is and who she trained with since youth ;) That could explain why Josef could use the Ripple but not Jorge/George II.

Well his ripple was really weak, I imagine his natural breathing rhythm was close to ripple breathing, allowing him to use the ripple. Im not Araki though so who knows!

He didn't. He's just exceptionally talented from birth. The potential in him was strong enough that without training he would accidentally still be able to use his powers, even though he didn't understand the technical nature behind them. It's not really hard to believe, like how certain people are just inherently talented at certain things, and they become even better once that ability is identified and they're given proper training.
 
If you mean

and the main characteristic of driving the Ripple comes from the pressure one has felt through harsh situations in life.

I'm pretty sure that's in reference to Zepelli's vikings analogy/metaphor/whatever.
