User blog:Gundam Legilis/Pacing in Volume 3

Hello everybody!

Now that we're in the last quarter of the volume, let's talk about the pacing.

So far, it's been decent. The tournament is shown and explained in great detail, with plenty of room for exposition and character development. The evil plan is set in motion halfway and comes to full effect in episode 9.

With that being said, here are some of the ways Volume 3 could possibly end:

A: The heroes have the big fight after clearing Grimm. The situation is easily resolved thanks to an ally with superior firepower, just like the endings of the past two volumes.

B: Same as A, but the villains retreat, while the Grimm are easily taken care of.

C: The villains retreat, forcing the heroes to chase after them all across Remnant.

D: The situation ends up in a massive cliffhanger where everyone is still fighting... until Volume 4.

E: The bad guys win at the end of the Volume, leaving Vale in ruins and forcing the survivors to retreat.

And to be honest, I want the situation to be as dark as possible. It's about damn time RT does it, after hinting about it for the past two years.

But hey, what do you think?

Thoughts?
