Guess I'm almost a week late on this, but yeah in the Trigun manga (maybe anime too?) a big scene is where Vash is in a big fight (gets his arm blown off) and when he starts fighting seriously the bad guy says "Hey! This is not how the story goes! I thought you were a simple coward, easy to shut up. But no! What I see in your eyes... Diablo... Your true character revealed!"
hehe I cracked it open just to get the exact quote. That is such a good series. :)
Well to understand something, sometime you must break it down to its elements.
But In this case I think I just want to find the quickest way to end this game.
A little too slow pace for my taste.
A given mission, mechanical assault, manufactured devotion.
Red eyes, an upside-down form. Even the twisted shape was made to be that way.
No matter how cruel the slaughter, worse than a demon's,
or how gentle the kindness, greater than an angel's,
a machine has neither will nor madness—only code, and a few bugs.
So why, then, does it feel so unbearably sad?
