From The New World 15:
I'm not sure if they're trying to bait people into thinking Squealer is going to doublecross Saki and Satori or if it's just how queerats act. Question is, will they use such a stupid twist of ally-who-throws-flattery-around-actually-has-his-own-agenda?

Is that really a twist if he's been a traitorous little sycophant since his first scene?

Jojo slowed down quite a bit this episode, which is fine, going from breakneck to merely swift. I loved Joseph's grousing about "I'll come up with my own special move, then I'll show him!"

I've recently started watching Girls und Panzer. It is very TANKS, once you get past that first episode.

Chihayafuru 2 is still good and funny and Miyano.

I don't know why I'm going to keep watching Tamako Market, but I know I am going to continue.

thing is, is it ACTUALLY going to happen or are they just baiting people into thinking shit's gonna go downhill?

I'm so far behind with jojo, it's almost not worth trying... almost.

I think that you and I not knowing the answer to this is a triumph of the show, rather than just baiting for a twist. Shin Sekai has been so good at almost showing Squealer maybe doing something malicious towards the kids but never clearly doing so that we just don't know when or if he's going to go full-on "For the glory of the rats!"

Like, there's no twist. We already know he's an ally who throws flattery around but actually has his own agenda. We just don't know if he's ever going to see it necessary to hurt the kids rather than continuing to manipulate them into being his walking nukes. That's pretty cool.

Edit: Like, even the characters are aware of the above. They just need him because he knows where stuff is and can provide some semblance of civilization. Mutual exploitation, I guess.
