Sekirei

[Buffalobiian]

Hmm... I seemed to recall she had. Maybe I remember wrong.

Yeah, she did when she sneaked into Minato's room in episode 5.

I think there is proof enough to make my assessment.

Haha, I actually agree with what you said. I guess I should have replaced "I don't know about that" with "I don't have a clue what powers Matsu may have, but.......". My bad expression.

This is exactly what's so bothersome. The sekirei themselves are all about fighting and winning. What right does Minato even have to go against that? He has his own opinion of wanting to avoid fighting but even he knows they are fated to fight, and even if there was a loophole that would avoid that fate, he hasn't exactly done anything to find it, has he? So, even if he doesn't want to fight, he should still be damn well ready to fight because it takes two to start a fight.

I hope there was someone to set him to the right path. His sekirei are useless in that respect because while they want to fight, what comes to Minato they only want to get to the same bed...

From what I see, it's like as Ryllharu says, Minato just doesn't want to go offensive. He's the type who's sitting around, literally "trying to live a normal life" as instructed, while waiting for whatever's thrown at him. As for his rights, his Sekirei seem happy enough to follow his lead, and they probably know, even if they don't got and hunt, others will find their way to them.

Though not aggressive, Minato doesn't plan to lose. When he saw Scythe-Girl go down, he asked Musubi if that will happen to her if she was ever defeated. That was also the time that he showed his rare determination so far. When the fight comes to win, he'll protect his sekireis no matter what.

But that then leaves the question about what to do if his four are the only ones left. Inevitably, they'll have to fight, but that doesn't seem very likely. The way I see it, I think Minato will lose his sekireis one by one, to be left only with Musubi. It's then that he'll truly will himself to fight and win, so Musubi can "unite them all and live in peace."

As for Minato being smart, I don't know about that. (I mean it this time). Matsu may have hinted something, but Yukari doesn't seem very surprised as she labelled his brother as a "college droppout". That seems a rather strange reaction if her brother has been academically great until he graduated.

It's possible, but from the last 7 episodes, I'm not really bought by the idea. If he is smart, I'd see him as the sharp type, like Yuuji from Shana, noticing enemy weaknesses and pointing out flaws in their actions, as opposed to a strategic planner (Lelouch) or one with extensive foresight (Light).

I would definitely like to see his sekirei's working under his command like a well-trained SWAT team though.
