What the fuck is his problem? Seriously, I don't get his motivations at all.

Maybe because they weren't explained yet.

But it's obvious he considers the shogun and the current society as a travesty.

He's just a shitty character, don't try to understand.

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn
>>
>>142723476
He's just a faggot.
>>
I liked this show until this fucker appeared, it worried me that this show had no direction but this villain is just fucking stupid.
>>
>>142723476
It'd actually be a problem if you did understand him.
>>
>>142723476
Well he's clearly fallen out with the shogun in the past, either over their approach to dealing with the Kabane, or the shogun saw him as a threat to their power and sent him off to die. Notice how the stations further out from the shogun's HQ regard him as a hero, but the closer ones are much more wary of him.

The shogun choose to hide behind walls when they have the greatest technology and political power in the country. It's highly likely they were the first to develop a method to kill the Kabane, (after all that's where the experts on Kabane research are). However they refuse to share this information with anyone.

Biba is out there on a suicide mission, doing the impossible. And when it becomes clear that he's not going to die to Kabane, the shogun try and have him assassinated.

He's an asshole, and the shogunate were probably right about his thirst for power. But his motivations seem pretty clear. "Liberation" is just a convenient way of saying "I will be king".
>>
>>142723476
He has his ideals driving him. Too much I guess.
He doesn't care if his close companions die. As long as they follow his orders.
He considers normal citizen weak that can't fight for themselves.

He has a heart of steel. The truest Kabaneri.
>>
>>142723476
He's being controlled by the pink mullet parasite on his head.
>>
>>142723476
Pretty sure it begins and ends with revenge.
>>
>>142723476
He's a classic social darwinist, which is a kind way of spelling "retarded"
>>
>>142724550
Yeah, something like this.

Pinky knows that sitting behind walls will eventually end humanity- there are no rice fields after all. So if nothing changes, everyone loses.

He complained, then was thrust into the scouting corps to die like all the other dissenters. He's no hero, but he does wish to save humanity by forcing them to fight. While they still have a chance.
>>
He wants to ruin what little the show had going for it. Yes that's his canon motivation within the story.
>>
>>142724880

All the important facts have already been stated. There are no rice fields, so no new food being made. Everyone is living off of rations. The shogunate is hiding behind walls treating their best Kabane killers as traitors. The situation is already untenable even before Biba enters the picture.

The only thing the story didn't do was spell it all out for the audience in one long exposition like they were some kind of special retards.
>>
>>142724788
I think he's just a plain good ol socialist and believes in equality of outcome.
>>
>>142725024
>The shogunate is hiding behind walls treating their best Kabane killers as traitors.
Nowhere was this fucking stated outside of maybe Biba's retarded shit.

And even if
>think the elite kabane killers are traitors
>they are
>>
>Got abandoned by his father on the war and left to die
>Managed to fend off and survive near impossible odds
>Is sick of people hiding inside stations and behind walls and letting the zombies fester outside
>Has been "liberating" cities by having the zombies attack, killing said zombies and recruiting strong men who fended for themselves in the meantime
>Probably wants to exterminate all zombies

This part of the character is fairly obvious. What I don't get is this whole new fear aspect they added this episode. Why was he always scared of that woman, according to her? What is he scared of? He's clearly putting himself in more danger than he needs to for the sake of fighting against his father. It's also fairly obvious that his father is legitimately a coward that is hiding behind walls and preparing weapons to fight against anyone that resists him (weapons explicitly said to work against humans and not zombies). He's a sadistic killer that thinks he's justified, how does that translate to coward? I don't get it.
>>
>>142725092
>Nowhere was this fucking stated outside of maybe Biba's retarded shit.
We know the shogun had him outcast. It's fairly obvious by now that he was the one to abandon him. Add in the comments from that swordsman guy in episode 5 where he mentions that the shogun is stockpiling weapons meant to kill humans and not kabanes.

The shogun is very obviously an evil dude as well.
>>
>>142725092
I think they're talkin about how the Shogun tried to have Biba killed. But I think that was before the Kabane anyways?

>>142725119
He doesn't actually seem to be recruiting. The last ep he just gunned down a shit ton of people who would have joined up.

Honestly, his whole motivation seems to be heavily steeped more in his revenge than anything. He literally wiped a town out simply because the predecessor was part of the group who betrayed him.
>>
>>142725193
His speech at the very end of the episode is him straight up recruiting all the survivors to join him or perish.
>>
>>142725092
> If we wait for the Kabane to go away everything will be daijobu!
> Implying the current strategy won't 100% kill everyone
Sure is rabid loyalists in here
>>
>>142725193
>seems to be heavily steeped more in his revenge than anything
>FUCK THE SHOGUNATE FUCK THE RULES
>LET'S KILL RANDOM INNOCENT PEOPLE XDDD FUCK SHOGUNATE
Biba is literally edgelord with nonsensical motivations incarnate.
His revenge would be done if he's just cut the fuck down the people that wronged him.
>>
>>142725218
>> Implying the current strategy won't 100% kill everyone
But it would, they'd eventually die of starvation
>>
>>142725211
Wasn't that towards the people of the other train, and not the residents of the town? He had a scene where his men gunned down a shit ton of survivors.
>>
>>142725279
Yes, the capital would. Can't field an army without food. No army means no resistance to the Kabane. No resistance means everybody dies.
>>
>>142725317
No people to infect means no kabane.

No kabane means victory. It's a long game plan you see.
>>
>>142725290
He said "Abandon the stations and join the fight". I assume he's just choosing the people that are stronger and survived the attack.
>>
>>142725371
I don't know, honestly the motivations don't make much sense. If hes choosing people who survived, then why did he have his men gun down an assload of survivors?

It seems more likely that he has plans for the other train seeing as how he wanted the key, and the only people who 'survived' seems to be those from it.
>>
>>142725443
I'm assuming he's doing the same he did to Mumei's village.
>>
>>142725443
I'm guessing they saw the soldiers fleeing from the fight and into Biba's train as cowards? I dunno.
>>
>>142723476
He's a crazy psychopath, there's not really much to it
>>
>>142723476
Are you retarded?

He wants humanity to liberate itself from fear and imperialism to become strong independent thinkers. He has already developed a higher form of technology by combining the souls and minds of many people connected via the Kabaneri system. In due time, he will acquire enough land to grow his hyper oats and achieve a peaceful civilisation.

He's a foil for Ikoma by having the same end goals but wanting to achieve it in vastly different ways.
