Watched through ep 32 of Shinkenger!

Ten togo before I'm caught up~

The steel rose

Shamelessly just stealing Dimmie's term for Mako in the title, because there's no better description. ¦D



I already thought Mako was awesome. But DAMN, after this episode, and particularly the scene that the first two caps come from, all I can say is, Mako is right up there with.. well, Irina Derevko, in my list of favorite female characters.

I mean, that scene, in and of itself, action-wise, it was great, but more than that, it's what it says about her, about her strength, about her resolve. About how you see so clearly that it was a little girl's pain that forged her and made her who she is, and that she really does mean it when she says she has no regrets, because that pain made her strong. And really, it explains her so perfectly, what she didn't have growing up and what she dreams of having. And I think maybe the best thing about her is that she's strong but she's not hardened by that strenght, if that makes sense.

Just, seriously, I don't understand how there's people that don't like this character.
