Of course, with an axiomic system, you want to make it so that none of your axioms are contradicted.
Yet we have a problem riiiiiight out of the gate.
The ending of EP 2 presents a slight problem.
Battler sees dozens of goat men (and people with goat masks on) parading around the entrance hall who then eventually start eating Kinzo and him
Quuuuuite magical. My first thoughts upon seeing that scene was to jokingly think, “I’ve had worse trips”.
But that’s exactly the solution! Battler is seen drinking very heavily before Genji comes in to see him. He doesn’t even know the identities of the drinks he’s shoving down his throat.
Battler is in a drunken coma on the floor of the dining hall at the end of Ep 2. Everything he sees may be as his mind is perceiving things, but that doesn’t mean they really happened!
