[genlock spoilers] Know what the most fucked up thing about this show is

The existence of copy chase proves pretty conclusively that every time someone pilots a mech

they create a new, separately-self-aware AI copy of the pilot

and then, after the battle, it dies

every deployment murders the pilot once

~Transhumanism bullshit~

Is my favorite kind of bullshit

no wait that's probably time travel bullshit but transhumanism bullshit is a close second

The BS you could do with the upload tech is crazy though

Make 50 copies of the world's best pilot

Why the fuck not?

Just keep on downloading them over and over for as many times as you have holons to stick the copies in

I mean, the ethical ramifications of that are insane but

If you were really desperate

Say, because you were in a long term war that you were slowly losing because your opponents had vastly superior technology to you
