Raison Detre.
i have been humming and attempting to sing the first ending song to Chobits for a year now without having any idea what the fuck Raison Detre means, but thanks to the equally cryptically named Ergo Proxy, i know that it means reason for living, but it wasn't until i updated my shitty MP3 player that Raison D'etre was Raison Detre, i guess i'm a bit slow on the uptake. but you must admit reason for living is a pretty good theme for atashi walking through the city with no people searching for "the one just for me." that really seems cool to me, i guess its good i didn't know much french, or else i wouldn't have had this little revelation.

i must say that in a way its good to be donre with the "Requiem" posts, though its sweet to think of the time i spent i think that is does border on dwelling and probably isn't the best thing i could do, but i thank you all for complimenting my posts of my adventures so much.

on top of the no more dwelling its just good to get back to the good ole mindless ranting, mostly inspired by anime, wiki, and anime on wiki. like when i was trying to remember wether it was a town or city with no people i took a gander at the Chobits entry on wiki, amd i must say some people reall analyze things more than i do. they really see the placement of Chii's switch as a big deal, as that she will never be able to have sex, so that means that her creator was making it so any relationship she is in is free of the pressure of sex. i never really dwelled on the placement of that, i mean the one joke about it, where Chii is pictured naked with one hand between her thighs and captioned "Chii go on, Chii go off, Chii go on..." was funny, but i always figured that was not that big a deal, but i guess it is supposed to be or is at least big to whoever wrote the wiki page. to me it seems Hibiya would eventually revert her to a more Freya like body, [since Elda/Chii was the first to get that little addition] either sans power switch or at least make a diaphragm or something, and that was just a random thought i had when discussing the on/off joke, i never really thought about that undertone, i guess thats why i could never get works accepted on the article section, i don't dwell on the power switches. oh, i guess that little on/off switch matter is discussed more in the manga, damn i hate when Bev is right... the manga is better.

but on a more "i win" note i have been dwelling on the fight where Shinn finally beats Kira, i've been dreading that fight for a year now and i must say, as a Kira fanboy, i can excuse his loss many times. thats not to say that Shinn didn't fight really well, he did a good job against Kira, but i think Kira got him back pretty well too.

see first off Shinn had been studying kira's every tactic for a long period of time, and he had Rey giving him advice, and Rey seems like a genius type, sort of like Quatre or Heero from Gundam Wing, so he had a lot of help. and then there is the fact that Shinn is fighting to kill while Kira is not, its a lot easier to shoot to kill than to purposely avoid kill shots, and on top of that Kira was fighting in full retreat as well, the Archangel was under heavy attack and Kira needed to retreat with it, so untop of trying to not kill Shinn he was also trying to escape.

next there is the fact that Kira had been fighting heavy ZAFT attack forces for a while, he had battle fatiuge after all that i'm sure to some degree, and Shinn was fresh. then there is the fact that not only was Shinn willing to kill Kira, he wanted to. Kira was someone to Shinn, the feeling was not mutual, i don't think Kira cared much more about the Impulse than he did about the BaCUEs hr had been fighting, he just defends against attacks, no matter who it is, Shinn was focused on Kira while Kira was focused on getting Cagalli to Orb.

Then there is the fact that the Impulse is modular, if something breaks Shinn just calls for a new one, Kira defeated him once, without the main cameras in the head Shinn had no chance of pursuit, but then he launches the chest at Kira, and blows it up, after doing that crazy move reflecting a shot of the shield he threw and could just have replaced, Shinn had no respect for his machine, he just kept throwing spare parts at Kira until he blew a wing off the Freedom.

i must admit though Kira trying to stop the anti-ship sword with his shield was stupid, so i give that Shinn, as well as the fact that overall the Impulse is infereor to the Freedom, but the Freedom can't just get new wings and parts whenever Kira gets them blown off, i'd imagine most of the Freedom's spare parts are on the Eternal.

personally after that speech by Rey how Kira never shoots at the Cockpit i wish that instead of blocking Kira had just put an AGNI blast and beam sword through Shinn's cockpit, just because he was getting too dangerous, like Ra or Stella. but in the end Kira even beat Shinn by losing, the Freedom's nuclear reactor wasted the Impulse, i don't know how many more they have laying around but Kira must have cut the supply a lot.

"who the hell gives the main character a modular mobile suit? did he get it from the ZAFT Ikea store?"

-me, watching Shinn throw spare parts at Kira.
