The Daughter of Twenty-Faces

Wow, didn't see any of that coming.

I guess this explains why Chiko becomes a darker person like in the OP. It really sucks that they were all killed off, and for such a retarded reason.

I had thought Tiger was lazy, trying to steal what's already stolen to get a better reputation. Like Angie turned out to be comparing herself to Chiko. But no. He's just an asshole, killing all of them so he could join up with Twenty-Faces and rule the world? WTF. From what we've seen about what kind of person he is, Twenty-Faces would never team up with someone who would do that.

It was a kind of strange episode. It's pretty obvious Twenty Faces thought this is the proper moment to make Chiko independent. After all, in such a profession she needs to be able to make her own decisions, plans, and learn not to always rely on others. And with that jolly good large family of thieves, that would have been hard. And also how she regretted betraying Angie so much must have been one more reason for Twenty Faces to decide it must happen now. While the man obviously appreciates friendship, he couldn't be a master thief if he let random acquaintances hamper missions.

What pissed me off in this ep was Chiko herself. She was completely useless. After all that training she couldn't do anything but evade a few axe swings. She had plenty of opportunities to take away the axe or even eliminate Angie but she did neither. In contrary she wasted time on the roof, removing any chances she might have had to help her comrades against the attackers.

I think that's what differentiated Chiko from Angie. Angie, like Tiger, was willing to kill their competition in order to become "the best" and gain fame. Instead of showing the other up with a greater feat or stealing it first, they opted to let Twenty-Faces do all the work and then kill them after to claim the prize. They had no honor, and deserved even less respect, as if putting in any kind of effort to get the reputation Twenty-Faces had (and Chiko was developing), was beneath them.

Chiko was not a killer. She was a thief. She very well could have killed Angie (I totally expected her to multiple times in their exchanges) but instead she opted to try and save her in the end. Chiko tried to escape out the door, failed, and then went on the roof in order to escape. It's unfortunate that Angie followed her, since Chiko was trying to get to and warn the rest of the crew.

It's also good she never made it there. Just as Muta did, the others would have been killed protecting her. Chiko would have either died with them, or have been a liability to them as they protected her.

Chiko is useless against guns. She doesn't have mentality to harm other people. Sure she could have taken axe but she wouldn't attack Angie.

And for Twenty Faces i think instead of him loving be in spotlight, he is performing for someone else who knows his real face and uses media coverage as sorta a letter on how he is doing. In this arc he stole clock not for setting relic free but for a price from mayor in for of information on something/someone. And Twenty Faces is not 100% confirmed dead as his disappearing acts are magical.
