(Honestly, I'd say that's her reaction when his reply to her initial scathing comment about his not paying attention/being easily distracted is that he knew she was going to win anyway.)

Happy as I am at an update, never mind one so large and excellent, is there an expected date of arrival for part two of the tournament?

Nah. I figure Australia was played by one of the school custodians/part time comedians. And the story bout the hat was adlibbed, based on the true story.
@Tayta Malikai
Gonna be honest, the nonsensical way you wrote your omake made my eyes glaze right over. Even after three attempt at reading it, I've retained maybe 10% of it, which can be boiled down to "Sandra is an insane Mary/Villain Sue who succeed because PLOT SHIELD" at best.

Other fun things to remember...
Anna likes swimming and flying for fun, and found architecture interesting.
Now let's start the debate on time spending for the next time skip
might as well get the training choices done now so we can focus on the other important aspects... who to waif- I mean missions to take.
I.E we get 1 'training action' per day which is worth 10 points.
I think we stick to what we did last time, 75% Wave Force (We'll need 105~ days - bonuses we get), 25% Target Rich (26 days - bonuses we get) so likely if we assume each time skip is 23 days... it'll take us about 5 more time skips to rank up Target Rich and one of the two Wave Force Variants. Not including any speed up from arcs.
But I also think we should work in 3-5~ days worth of training our Advanced Impeller skills because A:They've resulted in cool/fun scenes, and B: Because most of them are used as the building blocks to do Wave Force work.
Oh and C: Because Shuri is apparently better at us at Gate which as #1 is totally unacceptable

I looked that up on the internet before remembering Valkyrie Detachment Syndrome.
That said, did you know that in actual medical jargon, VDS stands for Venereal Disease - Syphilis? Because I didn't, before the search.

Literally the only reason she wasn't the good guy was because of the Ant's MAD device that they never bothered to tell anybody about.
Or did everybody miss that they could have kidnapped Koujiro and then resumed their war, to have their cake and eat it too?
Guile
Having a really great time right now
Don't worry, that's the benefit of Impeller: constant upgrades! We're fine. Probably forever.
I enjoyed it, but I'm gonna be honest and say you could probably cut the update in half by removing most of that big back and forth fight between Flight leaders 3 and 4 and I'd be fine with it. I'm not here for missiles and HK drones and things; I'm here for character interactions, which were a bit sparse on the ground even with it cutting back to Koujirou a bunch between matches.
She wasn't the good guy because she tried to reignite a war that had gone cold for negotiations. Her actions would've resulted in millions of deaths at minimum. And I don't mean Ant deaths either.

I mean, it's almost like you didn't read my second sentence.
There's a reason Antagonist is literally their name.
The important part being that the Ant's did not do that. Indeed, they seemed to have not planned to do that either.
Again, Sandra would be at fault here.

Wait, I'm confused. Is the implication that the whole "AG civil war" thing was actually just Anna inadvertently wreaking havoc while defending her hometown?
Also: I have a hard time imagining how the UN forces couldn't have put together some kind of special operations mission to rescue the population of that town. A force of submarines slipping up to the coast, unloading a modest force of Valks and transport vehicles, moving low to the ground and quietly, then quietly evacuating the town back to the submarines, whereupon they're sailed back to friendly territory? Wouldn't that be feasible? Since they wouldn't be coming anywhere near any Breaches or AG production facilities, they'd be a relatively small and mobile force, staying close to the ground, approaching from the opposite direction of AG attacks, with Anna already clearing out AG incursions far beyond the town. As for Anna herself, they could either leave behind an easily-found message in the town itself (so that she'd see it as soon as she returned), letting her know what happened, about the UN forces, and where to go/what to do to get to friendly territory.
Sure, 8000 lives doesn't seem like much. But the morale boost it would give, and the propaganda value of pulling it off, would be pretty big. And the force commitment for the attempt would be relatively small.
Yes? You missed that? It was implied through the news report and the comments from the #5 and #6 aces basically confirmed it.

so I think we can conclude that while anna has issues, she does not suffer from VDI as it commonly manifests. She seems invested in others with extreme reaction to seeing others hurt. I wonder if people are considering her a valid data point for looking at the nature of VDI or if there is so much non typical about her that she's considered an outlier and not a useful source of insight into VDI?

Tell ya what: humanity which cannot take peace when offered and would rather genocide sapients due to paranoia deserves to be purged down to the last infant. Because that's apparently their preferred attitude when dealing with others.

So I've finally caught up, still need to catch up to chat and work through that monster omake but I'm just going to drop this.
Most importantly is the absence of a cost benefit mechanism like described. Anna doesn't really see benefits, she seems to base most of her decisions on how to avoid loss or what she can give it to prevent others losses.
A simple but powerful example of this is how she decided to resolve the breakfast decision. Her Valk would automatically manage her health, all of her food is stored before hitting her stomach and unlike in Alaska there were no supply limitations. Without a clear negative to any choices she was either unable to find or did not look for a benefit to any, and instead decided to try everything once.
The fact that Anna appears only lightly traumatised by this is interesting in itself despite the incredibly early age she started, it seems to suggest that the town was far more stable and suffered fewer casualties than fighting for a shorter (in flight hours) time on an active warfront was...
Perhaps whats more likely is that VDS is shaped by the situations the Valk finds herself in. Unlike all other Valks Anna has been constantly on the defensive. For her whole life until the town collapsed she never had a win condition or a goal to work towards aside from keep the one basket that all my eggs are in from breaking. Under these circumstances its extremely hard to justify making sacrifices as there's not really anything to sacrifice, a single type and even most minor AGs would destroy the town if they got through, her choices are win until tomorrow or lose everything..
I don't think anyone will try to argue that VDS is caused and differentiated from other issues like PTSD by the efforts of the Frames themselves.
While I think most of us are happy to see this change:
Time to speculate on just what they want. My guess is that Durga is trying to act in Annas best interests as it sees them. However I'm not sure his list of priorities would match ours.
I'm saying best interests rather than trying to find an optimum combat effectiveness, because we have WoG that over the three seasons of the Anime Anna would shrink. Durga evidently prioritises something as well as the ability to kick ass and take names, its just not clear what.
While the pschology and how Anna matches it is interesting what is more interesting is where she doesn't.

This is the other thing. You do not just 'adjust' yourself. Durga is clearly exerting influence on Annas world views and reactions.
I don't think anyone will try to argue that VDS is caused and differentiated from other issues like PTSD by the efforts of the Frames themselves.
While I think most of us are happy to see this change:
Durga is clearly not just pushing Anna towards a better mental state as he just backtracked here.

I think you are failing to consider the context here. The Antagonists attacked without warning or clear provocation, have never made any attempts at communication, and came within inches of completely exterminating the human race:
They certainly succeeded in killing billions of innocent people.
It's not like there is any doubt as to the Antagonist's goal being the complete extermination of humanity either. If they just wanted to conquer the Earth or something there would be no reason for Abraxas to sit out in space and kill anyone who tries to escape the Earth-Moon system. That he does so makes their intentions clear; complete eradication of humanity.
When such an enemy offers peace, especially when you've literally just demonstrated the ability to finally end the war, the appropriate reaction is not trust but paranoia. Every year each Major Breach produces a new Type Zero while there will only ever be the 315 remaining 300 Cores:
Stalling for a couple years to produce more Type Zeros before launching an attack on Ginnungagap Base with the 18+ new Type Zeros would be the smart move here for the Antagonists.
So unless the Antagonists can prove their sincerity, destroying all the Type Zeros for example, the only logical decision is to assume the Antagonists are stalling for time.

That's not Durga. That's Anna.
[edit] Also, to note something for people in general; there are 317 of the "300" frames. Not 306, not 315, but 317.
