Line 22:
*** Major Hyobu is ''tame'' compared to many [[Real Life]] cult leaders. If you can accept that Tanizaki doesn't get fired, then Kyosuke's just a [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]], and with Magi actually running PANDRA, it's a moderately effective support group for espers who have been ostracized by humanity and have nowhere else to go. And, y'know, most of PANDRA either: A, agree with Kyosuke that humans are the enemy, B (most of them, regardless of gender), are in love with him, or C, both.
** Simple answer: Kyosuke was ''dead on the money'' when he told Minamoto to shoot him in Episode 20. If Minamoto shot down Kyosuke in cold blood, he'd be telling Kaoru that dangerous espers had to be put down. Someone like Shiho might understand the nuances of the situation, but Kaoru wouldn't, and if Kaoru grew to hate Minamoto, then [[Thanatos Gambit|he's done Kyosuke's job for him]] and ensured the [[Bad Future]].
** You know what? I've finally come to the realization that out of everything in this series, the only thing that bugs me is the Major, and this is a troper who is a massive fanboy of [[Command
*** I suspect it's because of his goofiness/laziness.
** It also has to do with a precarious narrative balance between the two- Kyosuke could easily off Minamoto with a thought, but he knows that if he does Kaoru is going to find out somehow, and when she does he and his gambits are '''''screwed.''''' Since Minamoto could probably kill Kyosuke (it's proven that the blaster can kill Future!Kaoru, and she's implied to be as powerful if not moreso than Kyosuke himself), there has to always be some kind of condition or psyche factor to keep that as a [[Mexican Standoff]]- if the heroes hold all the cards, its a boring story with no real point.
