CANAAN — 10–12

Late~ Blame my inter­net. My sum­mar­ies might have some stuff missing.

Epis­ode 10

ZOMBIE ATTACK!

The epis­odes had its ups and downs. Some parts seemed meh and oth­ers seemed pretty well done. We have Canaan and the gang going to the fact­ory and leav­ing Maria and Yun­yun behind because they are use­less when it comes to fight­ing. They go in and see zom­bies unblooms. Hakko freaks out, and Santana runs after her. Then the unblooms are released, leav­ing Canaan and Mino to fight them. Liang Qi then con­tacts Hakko via video call. Liang Qi then tries to turn Hakko against Canaan. Hakko refuses (which earned her a bit of love from me). Liang Qi then threatens to kill Santana. Dis­traught, Hakko leaves to find Liang Qi before she can do any­thing to him. We return to Maria and Yun­yun who decide that they are rel­ev­ant to the plot of the epis­ode just as much as every­one and decide to go in. Mean­while, Mino and Canaan are fight­ing the unblooms and Nas­tume comes. Yay. Back to Hakko, she is seen enter­ing a room and sees what she thinks is Liang Qi sit­ting in a chair. Hakko begins talk­ing in her ear-bleeding voice . Sur­prise, surprise!

OH EM GEEE!!!!111one

I never saw this com­ing (sar­casm inten­ded). Poor Hakko. Killing the man she loves.

Although I saw this scene com­ing, I do admit it was a sweet scene. Hav­ing Hakko say she loves him out loud, even though it’ll kill him… How­ever, I couldn’t help but think “mas­ochist” as he asked her to say she loved him.

Well, after he dies in her arms, she cries out. Ouch.

Liang Qi (who is pretty much just in her under­wear dur­ing this scene) is laugh­ing at Hakko’s pain and giddy about see­ing Alphard.

Oh wow…

Liang Qi then makes it so that only Canaan can hear Hakko. Canaan and Mino are the halls, and they run into a very emo­tion­ally hurt Hakko. Canaan, being hurt by Hakko’s voice, falls to the ground. Mino remem­bers that Santana wanted him to help Hakko if any­thing happened to him so Mino gives Hakko a hug (THE MAGIC OF HUGGING).

Maria and Yun­yun are in the Flower Garden and see the creepy Canaan clone. Nas­tume comes and takes her out her gun, point­ing it in their direction.

Epis­ode 11

Oh damn.

Alphard to the rescue

Alphard comes to Maria and Yun­yun res­cue. Maria and Yun­yun leave to find Canaan. Alphard and Nas­tume talk, as they know each other from before. Alphard gives Nas­tume a card. Both leave, with Alphard burn­ing the garden.

Lights…I sud­denly thought of King­dom Hearts

Back to Canaan and Mino. They speak of why Mino wants to pro­tect Hakko, even though Hakko is Santana’s ‘light’. Canaan asks if Hakko is his hope. He is unsure. Maria and Yun­yun come and see the injured Mino. They go to him and be them­selves (wor­ry­ing, spit­ting on him, the usual).

The US force comes in to des­troy the site. Canaan goes in to look for Hakko.

McCra­zies (Liang Qi) meets with Cum­mings and Alphard. After some brief fight­ing, Liang just loses it and takes some exper­i­mental pills to give her syn­aes­thesia like Canaan. How did that turn out?

…Pretty…

Now that she looks like Canaan, Alphard must love her now, right? No. Alphard tells Liang Qi that her name when she was with Dude (Siam) was Canaan. Liang Qi just flips and looks at her­self in the mir­ror. Being insane, she thinks it’s actu­ally Canaan and orders Cum­mings to kill Canaan. Cum­mings asks her if he kills ‘Canaan’, then would she love him? She tells him she would and he shoots her. She looks at her­self in the mir­ror once more and is joy­ful to see ‘Canaan’ shot. She goes to Cum­mings and tells him she loves him, dying in his arms.

Mean­while, Canaan finds Hakko…sleeping with the dead Santana.

Sleep­ing with a dead man…things could be weirder

Hakko refuses to leave. This forces Canaan to leave without her.

Canaan meets up with the gang and tells them she could not save Hakko. Maria then asks if she could take Canaan’s pic­ture. Maria takes the pic­ture and then hugs Canaan.

Epis­ode 12

Maria…>.<

Wow. A good set up for the finale, which is the next epis­ode. I’m inter­ested in see­ing how things end.

Ugh. A train epis­ode. Action series and trains are not the ideal great epis­ode. Still, the epis­ode was fulfilling.

There was a lot of focus on Canaan, Dude (Siam), and some Alphard in this epis­ode. Maria and Alphard dis­cuss Canaan’s true power and a bit on Canaan’s per­son­al­ity. While this is hap­pen­ing, Canaan is vis­ited by the ghosts of her past. Though, as we know, they weren’t really there. Canaan’s mixed senses were con­fus­ing her.

Alphard injures Maria and locks her and Yun­yun in a car with a time bomb (so not over­done). Alphard tells Canaan that she is Canaan too and that she is the same as Dude. As they fight, Maria asks Yun­yun to leave the car and detach it from the rest of the train. The time bomb, still with Maria, begins to get closer to zero.

Thoughts:

With all this pil­ing on top of one another, things get pretty inter­est­ing. I found myself unable to sit through epis­ode 11 though. Epis­ode 12 had con­fused me a bit with all the dead people vis­it­ing Canaan, but I sort of got it after rewatch­ing it. How­ever, some­thing feels miss­ing right now. Whatever is miss­ing, I hope, is cleared up in the next epis­ode. I really hope Canaan pulls out with a good end. As for if I think Maria will sur­vive, I think she most likely will. I doubt they’d kill her off like that. After all, Canaan needs some kind of light to help her. If there had to be another char­ac­ter death, I’d think it would be Alphard or Canaan. One of those two (or even both) dying would leave a sat­is­fy­ing impact for me.
