Episode 43: イグニスの誕生 – Igunisu no Tanjō
(The Birth of Ignis)
Playmaker has realized who Revolver might be during the Duel. However, due to a shockwave generated in the Data Storm, Yusaku is forced to log out. He now heads to a certain location in the real world, where Revolver is supposed to be…
the one thing to come out of the new episode was the fact that revolver is lying to kogami about not knowing playmakers identity. now this could mean three things (aha)
1) hes got something planned. maybe seeing yuusaku sparked some kind of recognition, or he dug deeper into the lost incident n found something else that he wasnt supposed to know
2) he doesnt trust kogami. maybe hes never trusted him, or, connecting to the first point, he recently got some new info surrounding the incident that changed his mind and made him suspicious
3) he doesnt want kogami interfering w him n playmaker. for whatever reason, he doesnt want his father to know playmaker is yuusaku. perhaps yuusaku was a ‘special’ kid out of the six, or something else that would have kogami stepping in to either finish him off himself or trying to kidnap him again
this is.. very interesting. and now of course revolver is waiting at the tower for playmaker to come so they can finish what they had started. from the preview, it seems like hes not too thrilled that go showed up before his main target, so im excited to see what happens
