Suuuure. And if that's true, then boy do I have a bridge to sell you.

Please don't forget that this is word of god speaking.

Makes you wonder who's Battleship Hime now, right Reiji?

Not sure what to think about this new info. She was actually DEFENDING HERSELF FROM ABYSSALS? (from her point of view)

For now it seems to imply that original Abyssals are actually a new race but NEW TYPES of Abyssals are shipgirls that somehow fused with them but still retains part of their minds.

Well aware, but I also am very much aware of the Unreliable Narrator and Lying Creator tropes. Given everything else that's happened, I'm more than a little suspicious. I can already spot at least one loophole here.

Oooh, now lets speculate! - if we assume the most basic abyssals (destroyers) are the real ones, and they attach to and modify hosts, then they suppress all cept the most basic brain functions and then change their perception to make them fight.

Would that mean humans are abyssals "resources"?

I am utterly certain that the narrator is just being unreliable to troll our expectations.

Because if he's not, then I have a bridge to Terebithia to sell you in the Sahara.

No, this is characters inside the story's universe speaking. They can only tell us that they don't think the military did it, and the whole point of this storyline seems to have been that our heroes have been very much in the dark about the true nature of everything.

And this is yua in the commentary, hence my earlier notes of the Unreliable Narrator and Lying Creator tropes:

The commentary's been nothing but nonesense recently so I've been ignoring it. I guess that'll show me.
