You should really pick up your helmet, Al.
Unless you're Mustang.
Well then you just blow through them like cardboard.Unless you're Mustang.
http://superfani.com/2012/06/06/a-c...-parent-figures-in-episode-6-of-eureka-seven/Again, the returning idea is that Renton’s naivete and self-importance is preventing him from fitting in in its immature demonstrations. A flashback to his time as an orphan shows him expecting maternal affection from his sister but then a subsequent scene shows him rejecting her authority in this maternal role. The shift in tone between these flashbacks mirrors the building up of an idealised image and then knocking it down with realism that has defined the entire first arc of the series. The audience once again sees both sides of Renton – how he sees himself and his treatment, and how the others see it.
--
he (Renton) recognises that he is still a child and is beholden to the same rules as the other children (which should include Eureka) – this cementing of his position within the hierachy and making peace with his former enemies now also cements a new enmity – one instigated by Holland and based around a need for discipline and control. Holland is now clearly shown as no peer to Renton, and no friend. Instead he is the captain of a ship, and a father figure to an errant child who has shown no desire to be controlled or disciplined.
In the end, this final scene provides a stark contrast with the final scene of episode 5, when Renton still sees Holland as a potential peer; while his illusion is beginning to fail as he realises he needs to be older to truly be friends with the adults, he still has hope that the relationship can be a peer – not a parental one.
Well yeah.
Unless Al had explosive flame powers I didn't know about, it'd be pretty hard for him.
Plus, flames would cast shadows...
Ahh, Motoko's Bret Hart shades.
Pride has the body of a child. It wouldn't be hard for Al to snap his neck enough for Pride's Philosopher's Stone to run out of power.
too young for you, major
Why is he fanning himself...? Does he need to cool down...?
A decent write up on Eureka Seven episode 6:

The beginning of the series is essentially a gradually faltering illusion for Renton.
Liam Neeson would make it work.I wonder how they'll up the ante on Taken 3.
This time... Liam Neeson's dog is taken. To the moon. By terrorist aliens.

Those guys got away too easy. Where the hell was the Major?

Ah, I see someone wasn't around for the first night of Toonami-GAF/didn't see 2nd GIG.
Holland feeling threatened by him makes sense when you consider Holland's own arrested development early on. Its an interesting thing just how similar both of them are, just at opposite ends of the age spectrumHeh. Yeah, not bad at all. It's nice to notice that the Adults and Kids all are sitting in their own personal groups, by episode's end. (Except a few from each camp). Even if Renton's concept of maturity is flawed, he at least pulled off one "adult" trick; He let his actions speak true for himself, and created an example that gives others something to follow.
Much the same thing Holland is trying to do, with handing out that punishment.
I always found it so funny that Holland seemed to even be threatened by Renton, in any way, within the series. Believeable, though. Kinda sucks when you've tried so hard at things, have so much experience... then some brat kid appears, and shows up so much of what you believe in. Kinda like watching old Amuro Ray interact with Young Amuro.
I use bing.
I get MS points.

I can't take her seriously with those shades on. So damn ridiculous.
