Canaan – 10: Liang Qi the Deceiver

canaan-10-009

What is Alphard’s word not good enough Santana?

After Alphard onee-sama saves Canaan and the gang they go off in search of the Factory. Maria and Yun Yun have some back seat fun with Knocked out Canaan. Upon waking up Canaan is told that Alphard’s pet name for her is despair. Maria voices protest but then goes on a tangent about how Canaan is a little chubby. Yun Yun jumps in and says that Canaan should grow some bigger oppai, in short Canaan should be more like Alphard. Canaan doesn’t want to admit that she needs physical improvements as Alphard likes her just the way she is.
Santana remembers how he and Hakko first met and how Liang Qi was strongly opposed to letting Hakko go. Alphard onee-sama having remembered love grants Hakko’s wish to be with Santana but while Alphard loves Hakko enough to let her go, Liang Qi sees Santana for the pervert that he is and prophesies that he will never hear sweet nothings from Hakko, her lonely sighs, or declarations of love and live to tell about it. Santana forgets Alphard’s kindness and blames everything on her Hakko having all but forgotten Alphard onee-sama also shares Santana’s flawed viewpoint.

Maria is getting SUGOI ideas now that Canaan is knocked out after her moment with Alphard…

Alphard tells Cummings how Hakko now disgusts her and she gets the same feeling from some dude who must be Santana but since Santana is weak sauce she never bothered to remember his name. Cummings thought that they were only here to stop Liang Qi but Alphard reminds him that there is a time for every thing. Liang Qi in her eagerness to see Alphard onee-sama again decides to get rid of the annoying people who would get in the way. To that end Liang Qi trolls Hakko by having Hakko kill Santana. It was a very clever plan by using a bait and switch after CIA agent Santana proved how much the CIA sucks and how inferior he is to Sam Fisher. Hakko decided to give a big speech but in doing so killed Santana which Liang Qi was quick to mock Hakko for it. Hakko repeatedly tells Santana that she loves him, at his request. Santana then dies though Liang Qi would have liked to see. Hakko then goes on a rampage but Mino-sana’s love puts a stop to it as he is an ancestor of the Immortal Colasour and Hakko’s bullets could not touch him. All the while Liang Qi was imagining how Alphard onee-sama was going to guide her while wearing nothing but her underwear which seems to be designer stuff to say the least. All in all Liang Qi was most delicious as she used her cunning to deal harsh blows to Hakko and Canaan.

Natsume did not forget about this reunion and lies through her teeth about wanting redemption when all she wants is money. Maria goes looking for SUGOI trouble and drags Yun Yun along to find Canaan Mk II mass production model. Natsume also finds them and proceeds to take them hostage.

So it seems that while Liang Qi is very much insane and in love with Alphard onee-sama, she is also very smart and cunning almost to the same degree as Glaurung. Despite wanting to see Liang Qi fight, I am very impressed that she used her cunning and guile to achieve her ends without resorting to direct force. Even if Hakko turned on her Liang made up a plan to get Hakko to do what she wanted. Only she did not factor in how invulnerable Mino-san is. Still it was a devastating blow to Hakko and Santana, even if it turned out to be a bit bittersweet in the end. I don’t really mind the unblooms becoming Zombies since they were technically dead or dying anyway. It seems that Canaan is quite famous and what world power wouldn’t want an army of Canaans? I suppose PRC corruption is just that bad when the CIA can do this on PRC territory. Natsume seems to be paid by an unknown party, though it could be that Natsume is playing two sides. I wonder if Hakko was Liang Qi’s double agent all along, since Hakko can’t speak without causing problems and certainly Natsume could be the one who told Liang Qi where Canaan was given how Natsume is loyal only to money which Liang Qi would have. It was a sad end for HakkoxSantana but now it is clear sailing for MinoruxHakko supposing that the Colasour magic will have time to make and impression. I really like how they are showing emotions with eyes and synthesia instead of narration since it conveys a lot more of the emotion, its’ also fun guessing on what red and yellow are, but in good time I think. The girl talk at the beginning was kind of funny since they basically told Canaan to be like Alphard.

Alphard seems to be a nice person given how Canaan says that Alphard is out to take down the Factory, and let Hakko and Santana go off despite it costing Alphard a borner. I think a lot will hinge on Alphard’s motives when we start deciding on whether or not this series met, failed, or exceeded it’s potential. I like how they used one single event to tie every one together for the most part and it seems that Natsume is out to secure Canaan Mk II mass production model since the current Canaan Mk II has problems following orders and isn’t the kind of unthinking killing machine that would have great utility. Hopefully Alphard will make her motives clear because right now she seems to be honest, much loved and adored by the female cast, and she hardly fits the mold of a big bad that is just out to kill everything for her own power. Given how this is the result of the CIA stabbing Alphard in the back this might just be a front from which Alphard is avenging herself on the CIA by ruining their plans. I suppose that Siam will be back in order to provide the link to Canaan and Alphard’s first fight that changed Alphard. If nothing else at least it seems that Canaan isn’t out to kill Alphard as much now. Next week we have some dudes with M-4s dropping in and Cummings looks like he is in trouble.

Like I said before Alphard speaks the truth…

canaan-10-018

No Maria it’s that Canaan makes Alphard despair…

canaan-10-029

Oddly enough I think Liang Qi is the one of few people in animu to take consistent baths…

canaan-10-033

Indeed Alphard likes her harem to be Forever 21.

canaan-10-038

There he goes again…Santana seeks to discredit Honest Alphard at every opportunity.

canaan-10-039

Even Canaan can vouch for Alphard onee-sama’s honesty.

canaan-10-040

What just because Alphard is honest doesn’t mean she won’t kill you is she decides to…

canaan-10-048

Their dead Jim Hakko…

canaan-10-051

Four diamonds…

canaan-10-053

Like a shark…

canaan-10-054

Well Hades does have sharp teeth though I am sure Zeus’ ROCKET PUNCH knocked out a few…

canaan-10-063

Maria has SUGOI stalker tendencies.

canaan-10-065

Alphard finds guys to be disgusting in general, though there are exceptions.

canaan-10-066

Contempt my liege?

canaan-10-068

Among other things…

canaan-10-069

Alphard chose this time to make small talk with you but if you prefer otherwise just say so…

canaan-10-073

Liang Qi wants to give Hakko lurvin too, but it turns out that Hakko wanted to be hetero…

canaan-10-077

Liang Qi’s not so True Tears…

canaan-10-081

SHINE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS!

canaan-10-083

WITH GRENADES.

canaan-10-091

Liang Qi cannot believe what she is hearing…

canaan-10-094

SING to Vajra?

canaan-10-098

Liang Qi hit the mute button…

canaan-10-095

Yeah you have been trolled…

canaan-10-099

Liang Qi became a Kawamori class troll while stalking Alphard onee-sama.

canaan-10-102

Oh Hakko…she’s got you there.

canaan-10-104

Dr. Liang Qi is in the HOUSE!

canaan-10-105

Liang Qi has better taste in music…

canaan-10-107

Well aren’t you Mr. Bond Ms. Hakko?

canaan-10-112

Alphard only wants Hakko to be happy…

canaan-10-118

Liang Qi doesn’t want to part ways with Hakko.

canaan-10-119

Alphard onee-sama believes that Happy Hakko is a lovely Hakko despite her sexual preference to men.

canaan-10-122

Liang Qi can see that Santana is only seeking to bed Hakko.

canaan-10-125

Liang Qi is hoping that Santana will call her on it.

canaan-10-128

Alphard wished for your happiness and contentment, but you just had to try and cross her…

canaan-10-130

Oh so that is where Impz is hiding…

canaan-10-134

In short Beam spam incoming…

canaan-10-135

And there will be Rocket Punches…

canaan-10-138

What about a big giant boulder that chases you?

canaan-10-140

I’d rather know which one is your favorite Liang Qi-sama.

canaan-10-144

Hakko is now on a mission…

canaan-10-146

So you did like Liang Qi.

canaan-10-147

But Alphard has always been in Liang Qi’s heart.

canaan-10-150

You will…

canaan-10-154

Uh oh…

canaan-10-159

EPIC Liang Qi troll.

canaan-10-164

I hope Santana was awake when Liang Qi took off her dress, but I doubt it.

canaan-10-166

Well Hakko does like her Shoujo Manga.

canaan-10-167

Liang Qi has a wide range of expressions.

canaan-10-168

Liang Qi was blowing a kiss of death.

canaan-10-169

I like her laugh.

canaan-10-170

Now those are True Tears.

canaan-10-172

Liang Qi for got to set up a web cam there.

canaan-10-173

Liang Qi wanted to see that…

canaan-10-174

LOL!

canaan-10-182

Santana looks kind of high…

canaan-10-187

Woah Natsume has heard Hakko’s sweet sighs before…

canaan-10-197

Go Go SUGOI Rangers…

canaan-10-200

I wonder if this was put on because Liang was anticipating a special day with Alphard…

canaan-10-204

The heart represents how much Liang Qi loves Alphard.

canaan-10-205

I cannot help but wonder if Alphard is really into frilly things…since Liang tailored it to Alphard’s preferences.

canaan-10-206

Liang just realized that Cummings is coming too…

canaan-10-210

Liang Qi is quite the poet.

canaan-10-214

Alphard-sama ga Miteru…

canaan-10-218

datte datte ai nan dayo?

canaan-10-219

Hakko’s singing, yeah even Basra would not LISTEN TO HER SONG.

canaan-10-221

It’s worse than Aimo O.C.

canaan-10-226

Why are all the fallen idols green haired…

canaan-10-230

Bring out your dead…

canaan-10-235

The infamous luck of the Colasour line makes it’s presence felt…

canaan-10-236

Hey Hakko I know you’re sad but Mino-san is a Colasour…you can’t kill him he’s IMMORTAL.

canaan-10-239

Red ones go 3 times faster…

canaan-10-241

Be grateful Hakko a Colasour spouse is invariably superior to that lecherous pimp Santana.

canaan-10-242

Wrong ride Maria…

canaan-10-245

Let’s go again!

canaan-10-250

Canaan clone…

canaan-10-252

Did Maria remember her past life as Himeko now and the promise she made with Chikane/Alphard?

canaan-10-260

canaan-10-264

Natsume will be cutting in line now…

canaan-10-002

Who is sleeping together? I must know…

canaan-10-003

Uh Oh, Cummings better be careful…

    Santana NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well at least Hakko can be happy in the future with Patrick Colasaur’s great grandfather. And wreak painful, delicious vengeance on Liang Qi together.

    I want Hakko to live just long enough to be there when they cut off Liang Qi’s head and stick it on a pike, as a warning to the next ten generations that some powers come at too high a price. I want Hakko to look up into her lifeless eyes and wave, like this.

    @Executive Otaku
    You cannot fight hatred with hatred. I think that in the end Alphard will free Liang Qi of hate with her love. We all know that Canaan seems to be less hate filled these days and it is clear that Alphard has loved Canaan tenderly many times to get to this point…

    If Mino-san is of true Colasour lineage then he will know that love will conquer all.

    You may want to see Liang Qi’s head on a pike, but you must convince Alphard onee-sama to let go of her Kawaii imouto Liang Qi. Liang Qi has been naughty but Alphard is a firm believer of love, and she is working extra hard to spare as many people as she can.

    and through mino-sama’s and hakko’s holy union the house of colasour line was secured, thus soon paving the way for patricks ascent to glory

      @blind_dead_mcjones
      Thusly did Liang Qi ensure that Gundam 00 was to have at least one sane pilot who was criminally lucky. Also ensured was Kati’s eventual bliss and undisputed victory over Sumeragi who ended up with Billy Goat. Praise be to Liang Qi Slayer of Santana!

      @Shin
      Oh ye of little faith do you doubt the Lineage of the Colasours?! Santana is dead long may he rot as the result of his treachery against Alphard onee-sama! Hakko can still be happy and hetero…

      If only you knew the power of the Yuri Side…

      @Rawrsh
      Superior firepower is ALWAYS a good thing in animu.

    With the only straight female losing her partner, there’s no more hope for heterosexuality in this series ಥ_ಥ

    I was interested in the unbloom zombies in there. I thought Canaan was gonna “take care” of them.

    And hmm… Natsume’s got something else going on. But I loved her entrance with the M320.

    Looks like special forces are going in from the preview.
