Canaan – 10: Liang Qi the Deceiver
September 14th, 2009
What is Alphard’s word not good enough Santana?
After Alphard onee-sama saves Canaan and the gang they go off in search of the Factory. Maria and Yun Yun have some back seat fun with Knocked out Canaan. Upon waking up Canaan is told that Alphard’s pet name for her is despair. Maria voices protest but then goes on a tangent about how Canaan is a little chubby. Yun Yun jumps in and says that Canaan should grow some bigger oppai, in short Canaan should be more like Alphard. Canaan doesn’t want to admit that she needs physical improvements as Alphard likes her just the way she is.
Santana remembers how he and Hakko first met and how Liang Qi was strongly opposed to letting Hakko go. Alphard onee-sama having remembered love grants Hakko’s wish to be with Santana but while Alphard loves Hakko enough to let her go, Liang Qi sees Santana for the pervert that he is and prophesies that he will never hear sweet nothings from Hakko, her lonely sighs, or declarations of love and live to tell about it. Santana forgets Alphard’s kindness and blames everything on her Hakko having all but forgotten Alphard onee-sama also shares Santana’s flawed viewpoint.
Maria is getting SUGOI ideas now that Canaan is knocked out after her moment with Alphard…
Alphard tells Cummings how Hakko now disgusts her and she gets the same feeling from some dude who must be Santana but since Santana is weak sauce she never bothered to remember his name. Cummings thought that they were only here to stop Liang Qi but Alphard reminds him that there is a time for every thing. Liang Qi in her eagerness to see Alphard onee-sama again decides to get rid of the annoying people who would get in the way. To that end Liang Qi trolls Hakko by having Hakko kill Santana. It was a very clever plan by using a bait and switch after CIA agent Santana proved how much the CIA sucks and how inferior he is to Sam Fisher. Hakko decided to give a big speech but in doing so killed Santana which Liang Qi was quick to mock Hakko for it. Hakko repeatedly tells Santana that she loves him, at his request. Santana then dies though Liang Qi would have liked to see. Hakko then goes on a rampage but Mino-sana’s love puts a stop to it as he is an ancestor of the Immortal Colasour and Hakko’s bullets could not touch him. All the while Liang Qi was imagining how Alphard onee-sama was going to guide her while wearing nothing but her underwear which seems to be designer stuff to say the least. All in all Liang Qi was most delicious as she used her cunning to deal harsh blows to Hakko and Canaan.
Natsume did not forget about this reunion and lies through her teeth about wanting redemption when all she wants is money. Maria goes looking for SUGOI trouble and drags Yun Yun along to find Canaan Mk II mass production model. Natsume also finds them and proceeds to take them hostage.
So it seems that while Liang Qi is very much insane and in love with Alphard onee-sama, she is also very smart and cunning almost to the same degree as Glaurung. Despite wanting to see Liang Qi fight, I am very impressed that she used her cunning and guile to achieve her ends without resorting to direct force. Even if Hakko turned on her Liang made up a plan to get Hakko to do what she wanted. Only she did not factor in how invulnerable Mino-san is. Still it was a devastating blow to Hakko and Santana, even if it turned out to be a bit bittersweet in the end. I don’t really mind the unblooms becoming Zombies since they were technically dead or dying anyway. It seems that Canaan is quite famous and what world power wouldn’t want an army of Canaans? I suppose PRC corruption is just that bad when the CIA can do this on PRC territory. Natsume seems to be paid by an unknown party, though it could be that Natsume is playing two sides. I wonder if Hakko was Liang Qi’s double agent all along, since Hakko can’t speak without causing problems and certainly Natsume could be the one who told Liang Qi where Canaan was given how Natsume is loyal only to money which Liang Qi would have. It was a sad end for HakkoxSantana but now it is clear sailing for MinoruxHakko supposing that the Colasour magic will have time to make and impression. I really like how they are showing emotions with eyes and synthesia instead of narration since it conveys a lot more of the emotion, its’ also fun guessing on what red and yellow are, but in good time I think. The girl talk at the beginning was kind of funny since they basically told Canaan to be like Alphard.
Alphard seems to be a nice person given how Canaan says that Alphard is out to take down the Factory, and let Hakko and Santana go off despite it costing Alphard a borner. I think a lot will hinge on Alphard’s motives when we start deciding on whether or not this series met, failed, or exceeded it’s potential. I like how they used one single event to tie every one together for the most part and it seems that Natsume is out to secure Canaan Mk II mass production model since the current Canaan Mk II has problems following orders and isn’t the kind of unthinking killing machine that would have great utility. Hopefully Alphard will make her motives clear because right now she seems to be honest, much loved and adored by the female cast, and she hardly fits the mold of a big bad that is just out to kill everything for her own power. Given how this is the result of the CIA stabbing Alphard in the back this might just be a front from which Alphard is avenging herself on the CIA by ruining their plans. I suppose that Siam will be back in order to provide the link to Canaan and Alphard’s first fight that changed Alphard. If nothing else at least it seems that Canaan isn’t out to kill Alphard as much now. Next week we have some dudes with M-4s dropping in and Cummings looks like he is in trouble.
Like I said before Alphard speaks the truth…
No Maria it’s that Canaan makes Alphard despair…
Oddly enough I think Liang Qi is the one of few people in animu to take consistent baths…
Indeed Alphard likes her harem to be Forever 21.
There he goes again…Santana seeks to discredit Honest Alphard at every opportunity.
Even Canaan can vouch for Alphard onee-sama’s honesty.
What just because Alphard is honest doesn’t mean she won’t kill you is she decides to…
Their dead Jim Hakko…
Four diamonds…
Like a shark…
Well Hades does have sharp teeth though I am sure Zeus’ ROCKET PUNCH knocked out a few…
Maria has SUGOI stalker tendencies.
Alphard finds guys to be disgusting in general, though there are exceptions.

Liang Qi doesn’t want to part ways with Hakko.
Alphard onee-sama believes that Happy Hakko is a lovely Hakko despite her sexual preference to men.
Liang Qi can see that Santana is only seeking to bed Hakko.
Liang Qi is hoping that Santana will call her on it.
Alphard wished for your happiness and contentment, but you just had to try and cross her…
Oh so that is where Impz is hiding…
In short Beam spam incoming…
And there will be Rocket Punches…
What about a big giant boulder that chases you?
I’d rather know which one is your favorite Liang Qi-sama.
Hakko is now on a mission…
So you did like Liang Qi.

I hope Santana was awake when Liang Qi took off her dress, but I doubt it.
Well Hakko does like her Shoujo Manga.
Liang Qi has a wide range of expressions.
Liang Qi was blowing a kiss of death.

Santana looks kind of high…
Woah Natsume has heard Hakko’s sweet sighs before…
Go Go SUGOI Rangers…
I wonder if this was put on because Liang was anticipating a special day with Alphard…
The heart represents how much Liang Qi loves Alphard.
I cannot help but wonder if Alphard is really into frilly things…since Liang tailored it to Alphard’s preferences.
Liang just realized that Cummings is coming too…
Liang Qi is quite the poet.
Alphard-sama ga Miteru…

Hakko’s singing, yeah even Basra would not LISTEN TO HER SONG.
It’s worse than Aimo O.C.
Why are all the fallen idols green haired…
The infamous luck of the Colasour line makes it’s presence felt…
Hey Hakko I know you’re sad but Mino-san is a Colasour…you can’t kill him he’s IMMORTAL.
Red ones go 3 times faster…
Be grateful Hakko a Colasour spouse is invariably superior to that lecherous pimp Santana.
Wrong ride Maria…
Let’s go again!
Canaan clone…
Did Maria remember her past life as Himeko now and the promise she made with Chikane/Alphard?
