/m/, let's be honest for about this for a minute. The NEEDS BIGGER BACKPACKS joke has been around for five years, but when did you personally notice that SEED was seriously getting ridiculous about it? I'm not talking about power imbalances and whatnot. I just mean the point when Okawara went insane and turned everything into an unholy clusterfuck at the design level.

I'm probably a slowpoke, but for me it was during the Orb battle near the end of Destiny. It was somewhere when the camera was rapidly shifting between rear views of the Big Four that it just dawned to me. "Holy fuck, the Ninja Turtles are fighting each other."
