Will Akiha actually get a good end this time?

This thing is fucking tall. It is almost as tall as my 1/100 MG Aile Strike that is on a stand. It looks pretty good as well. Looks just like how it is supposed to. It even has this... rubbery plastic stuff that you put over its joints, that are supposed to be like the cloth/covering over the joints it has in the anime. Its a nice touch, and you would think that would make it hard to hold a pose, but screws>that. The arms don't have the articulation I would like, but the model would have to be made out of magical rubber in order to have a better range of movement, so its okay. The thing has alot of very, very tight joints (meaning it will get in a pose and hold it very well), and requires screws in it, so overall this was the most difficult/challenging model I've had to build. As for negatives, the Aqua units on its back give it balancing issues while standing, and the waist joint sucks huge dick compared to the high quality of everything else about the model, IDK what they were thinking with it.

Very moe. Very moe giant set of claws. Also its much bigger than how I imagined it. This thing is supposed to be adorable, but its like the size of a Dom (aka its a fairly large mobile suit).

1. The whole movie revolved around Yuki Nagato changing the world and making it normal. So basically there were no aliens, espers, time travellers and even Haruhi didn't have any powers. I'm confused at how Yuki hasthe power to do this and if she always had this power it seems kind of pointless in monitoring Haruhi in case she went berserk, since Yuki could just remove Haruhi's power. It also made me think that her bosses, or higher ups, would have equal power or even more power than her. If that's the case then Kyon's threat at the end of making Haruhi mad if anything happened to Yuki would not scare them at all. It just seems like if Yuki's organisation possessed this power the main plot in the series about making Haruhi happy because she's similar to a God is pretty pointless. I feel like I'm missing something or misunderstanding something simple, because it just doesn't seem right.

2. Also I'm a little confused about Asakura. Did Yuki really program her to protect her and look after her? I mean she knew what was going to happen years before it happened and I doubt she wanted Kyon to be attacked while trying to inject the program into Yuki.

1. I forgot which book mentioned it but Nagaemon used Haruhi's power to do everything in Disappearance. That the effect was limited was because it wasn't her own power and that led to some random limitations.

2. I am not sure about your question here, do you want to know why Asakura attacked Kyon or why Nagato allowed it to happen?

1: Nagato used Haruhi's power in Disappearance, and the reason why Yuki was monitoring Haruhi in the first place was because Nagato's boss believe she holds the key for further evolution. Obviously since they want that power they are not gonna risk mess it up. Making Haruhi happy because she is Godlike is only Esper (Itsuki's faction)'s goal. A part of the series (anime did not do a good job explaining this except a couple ep) is conflicting interest between 396, Yuki and Itsuki.

2: Yuki knew what was going to happen but she is powerless to change what already happened (in the future). If she reset Asakura as she did with others, might end up with a totally different future. It's pointless to try to sort through all the time paradox unless you REALLY want a headache.
