so last night I finished watching Combattler V
It had to have one of the most ridiculous Deus Ex Machina endings ever.
Right before Empress Janera of the Kyanbell Empire gets accidentally killed by robot-Warchimedes fucking FALLING ON HER (dead serious) because she made him short-circuit, she released a bomb into the Earth’s crust that would explode upon hitting the core. Combattler’s out of energy so they can’t pursue it, and well, nothing else can. Basically, Earth is fucked.
Until
Some kind of energy starts coming from the Kyanbell Empire’s star and starts extinguishing all the flames across the planet and makes the bomb disappear. Then…
FUCKING SPACE ZEUS SHOWS UP ON A ROCKET SLEIGH PULLED BY TWO ROBOT HORSES AND TELLS THEM THAT THEIR PLANET WAS CAUGHT UP IN A WAR THAT DROVE EARTH INTO THE CONFLICT AND THAT JANERA WAS JUST SOME BAD GUY.
DON’T BELIEVE ME?
Then he tells them that they’ll do anything to repair Earth to make up for this disaster.
this just
my god
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more bullshit ending in the history of mecha anime… not even Ideon TV’s ending.
Long story short, just… stop watching Combattler V after you finish the arc with Prince Garuda. It just gets really, really weird.
