Queen's Blade/Headscratchers


 * If Melona can shape-shift into anything, why does she pick a semi-chubby woman as her base? I know she has to have a base and the character designer probably chose that for variety, but I am curious if there's any in-show explanation for it.
 * Semi-chubby? She's just really curvy.
 * If you attempt to assemble the tournament brackets of Season 2's tournament, there are a LOT of inconsistencies. In the first heat, . Aldra seems to have a really skewed idea of how a tournament bracket works.
 * Maybe they are using the free-for-all format for the matches?
 * Owen, just Owen. How come the narrative spends (or wastes) time by inflating his character with great life achievements such as being such a great warrior in the past and later becoming a blacksmith, only to never actually show at least the slightiest bit of onscreen action to reinforce this? They could pretty much say Cattleya's unamed husband, who did nothing of importance in his life time, got lost on way to the store to buy some milk, and didn't come back ever since, so she has to look for him by participating on the Queen's Blade; it would end up being same thing as Owen's actual value to the story. Also they had to top it off by Damn, it's hard being a male character in Queens Blade.

 * Does anyone think that the angel race as a whole are a bunch of hypocrites? They talk about bringing order to the world but according to Nanael, the perfect order is men being ruled by angels and women being killed off. Now given Nanael's personality, this could very well be what she imagines, but the angels have demonstrated some traits that are un-angel like that is not called out on such as isolating Nanael because she's different from them (in terms of her wings) and talking behind her back (aren't angels not supposed to treat their own race like that given they're supposed to be the "pure beings".) And given that the angels are one of the more powerful beings in the series that can break the rules, isn't it messed up that the arch angel banished Nanael from Heaven simply because she negotiated with the demons (despite the fact that she lied to them) despite the fact she completed her mission of getting information on the Swamp Witch? This might just be me but I find it hard to believe that Nanael is the only angel that can't get away with this stuff when the other angels have shown to be not as sweet and innocent as everyone makes them out to be.
