The Real Ilpalazzo - Discuss

[Kawaii Filia]

After viewing the last volume, I felt warm, and was delighted to gotten to know Excel and Ilpalazzo deeper than seen previously. To see the serious, desperate side of Excel, and to understand what values Ilpalazzo actually holds.

I believe Ilpalazzo isn't an evil person at all, nor does he actually desire conquest in his heart. His constant ploys to take over F is merely another of his oddball activities, like dominos, dating sims, and the guitar. It's all just a lonely over-grown child's game.

With the game coming together, victory clear to see, it suddenly turned serious. His arrogance manifested into an evil subconscience. He let that happen to escape, because he couldn't handle reality.

His link to his childlike self, Excel, he shot out of a mix of ambition and self pity. Perhaps he thought with her around, he'd have to face the reality around him. After all, she was his closest friend and kept everything a game, which was bad for the evil subconscious, and bad for Ilpalazzo.

Of course with his playmate gone, he was only left with Hyatt. While just as submissive, wasn't Excel. Lonliness followed, the pain of losing Excel setting in strong. Losing himself now in pressure and sorrow, the subconscious grew stronger, and Ilpalazzo found it harder to stay in control.

As we know, it wasn't until Excel's return that his subconscious was defeated. It would appear that her love and loyalty (not to mention her mean right hand!) was just strongee than the fear inside Ilpalazzo. With a smack back to reality, it was game on again, and it couldn't have come at a better moment.

And does he love Excel? I would say yes, with all his hunky, badass bishie heart. Excel is his companion, playmate, friend, shooting target, and shaft dunker.

Is he evil? No, but he is certainly badass.

So, what are your serious views on Ilpalazzo?

I believe that Ilpalazzo loves Excel....but not in the way that Excel loves him.:lol: He wasn't able to tell how he truely felt because he was fighting his inner demon, plus he had a world to conquer, so love was not his priority list. Overall I think Ilpalazzo is a very cool person. But honestly, I think that him and Hyatt would make a better match.

The Real Ilpalazzo, well that's a hard one. Really I see him as a kid. All he wants is attention. He treats Excel so badly, but because she keeps coming back to him he won't change his ways. Even when he did mean to shoot her, she still came back to him. But I agree that the real Ilpalazzo isn't evil. He's just spoiled. He gets everything that he wants, but when he doesn't, his subconscious takes over. The best thing he ever did was shoot Excel. Because it proved to him that he needed her just as much as she wanted him.

Now it's easy to say that Excel Loves Ilpalazzo, but if Ilpalazzo loves Excel well that's a hard one. When he jumped down the hole with her it was almost like he accepted her, but it then again he did say that it was the only way out. As we saw, Ilpalazzo went Nuts without Excel by his side. I think the reason he shot her was because whenever Excel had a job to do, she would screw it up, thus forcing ACROSS to fail. But when she was gone, he succeeded. So he saw her as a bad luck device. Kill Excel and everything would be fine. But the problem was, it wasn't. Yes he was winning in the grander scale, but on a personal level, he needed Excel. He needed someone to tell him how good he is. He needed someone to be loyal to him. He needed someone who loved him. While Hyatt was loyal, she never loved Ilpalazzo like Excel did. So it's hard to say if Ilpalazzo loves Excel, but it safe to say that both Excel Excel and Lord Ilpalazzo need each other in their own way.
