The new OP... There is just something lacking about it... The actual synchro rate is better than the one before, but... For some reason, it just doesn't get me fired up in anyway. The song... the reused art... Perhaps AliPro has brainwashed me with the first OP?!

...What happened again... Kind of forgot the minor details... Oh well.

Well, Nami finally did something, after wandering around for a few episodes. And she sure did a lot, suddenly powering up into an ero-suits and getting some great big staff and changing her hairstyle into... something "amazing". Reminds me of something...
Kind of thought more females in strange suits would appear when Aleida mentioned some Valkyrie who would fight with Nami, but it just turns out to be a bunch of robots connected to boxes. (-_-)
Though not sure if the script just forgot or what, but that powerful staff that batted around Akiha's robot... Akiha stopped it with her hand?! :twitch:
Aleida... special appearance as a slit-mouth woman. Scary... (o_O)
Then again, Nami is making some good facial expressions too. :heh:
Still, kind of amusing to see that Akiha, who never mentioned/thought of Takane's betrayal in the past few episodes is finally worrying over Nami (and in the OP too).
Completely forgot about the female Colony...

In the meantime, Benkei and Glasses are reduced to... playing word games. The two really are entertaining, as gags. Especially Benkei.

And so we are left with Zero-bot in some damaged condition, to be continued.
It was interesting... Though I hope I can grow used to the OP soon.

Preview: ......Forgot what they showed after all...

[Tom Bombadil]

A very straight forward episode, especially after the spoilerific openning. Everything happens as expected. The gang gets back to space via the space elevator. Nami was brought to the female colony. They just happen to appear near each other, so chance for Nami to test out her new powers, and also a chance for Akiha to get beaten up. Well, every hero or heroine need some beating before he or she gets stronger, right?


Kind of thought more females in strange suits would appear when Aleida mentioned some Valkyrie who would fight with Nami, but it just turns out to be a bunch of robots connected to boxes. (-_-)

Valkyries? I thought she was saying something about Existence. I was expecting white Honokas. Maybe they were in those boxes?


Though not sure if the script just forgot or what, but that powerful staff that batted around Akiha's robot... Akiha stopped it with her hand?! :twitch:

Haha, The robot is actually a power constraint device. Akiha is actually stronger without the robot than with it. At least that's how it goes in shonen shows, right?


Aleida... special appearance as a slit-mouth woman. Scary... (o_O)

The last scene with Kagura and Leopard feels out of place. Aleida has always been cold and emotionless and purely functional. Although I was hoping that she will do something on her own instead of just Neval's bidings, but this is not what I was expecting at all. Quite painful to watch, I'd say.

Preview: Takane spotted.

[noobita]

I wonder...who is the mysterious brain colony in the Opening? It sure don't look like Nerval as we seen his form before...

and it seem Nerval only have 2 friends so far ...I am expecting 10 friends...ya know.

[Tokkan]

I wonder...who is the mysterious brain colony in the Opening? It sure don't look like Nerval as we seen his form before...

and it seem Nerval only have 2 friends so far ...I am expecting 10 friends...ya know.

It's probably Nerval's own main colony body.

And I expect Benkei and Tsutsuji to function more as a pair of somewhat comedic anti-heroes rather than stay aligned with Nerval.

[Fishfood1]

did benkei and Tsutsuji really switch side or they're just tricking the good guys?

[serenade_beta]

Valkyries? I thought she was saying something about Existence. I was expecting white Honokas. Maybe they were in those boxes?

She was talking about those mechas with boxes as the head. She called them Senotome (battle maidens), which means Valkyrie, so I just went with that.

did benkei and Tsutsuji really switch side or they're just tricking the good guys?

I think they were tricking the good guys... Who still ended up throwing them in some place by themselves.

[Tom Bombadil]

Thanks for clearing that up. Still a beginner at Japanese learning.

That's just too obvious. The humbleness of the glass&tiger-stripe-bikini girl makes my skins crawl.

[panpo98]

According to ep 14. Honoka has 8 sisters if you count them in Aiharas dream (4 hair down and 4 hair hidden like Honoka). In ep 15 we can see 8 red super boxes that has powers like Honoka. So the 8 red boxes is likely Honoka's sisters (Senotome, battle maidens, Valkyrie).

I agree that we can't trust the glass girl (creepy girl). Yeas she and Benkei have likely left Neval but we can likely agree that she now has her own agenda. Honoka did the right thing to trow them in the cargo hold.

It was fun to see then Sakura pissed of the female colony and Leopald looked like he thought "this can't be a good idea".

[C.A.]

Pretty good progress and it seems like it will be serious stuff from now on. Tsutsuji fan service is great and Sakura is overdrive in Sakurago this episode as well, and I hope someone on 2ch will post them, because I can't fully grasp what she's saying this time lolWe start out with a Sakurago magical chant: "Ji~on bachi bachi, furi furi bari bari, dopaa~ hohahahahaha". A magical chant that creates sparks and Starsylph gets repaired at the cost of Leopard.

FON predicts the next area where Pied Piper will appear and prepares everyone to get back to space using it. Honoka senses something about FON.

"Heiki pappan!", Sakura heals Starsylph back to health.

Tsutsuji shows up being extremely polite and says she has repent on her mistakes and wants to join them. Benkei's armour gets further removed and his original, pathetic state is shown lol. FON gives them a mini version of the QT Roses to counter the effects of Pied Piper's Nervalism wave. Honoka throws Tsutsuji and Benkei into the cargo just in case they do something fishy.

In the cargo room, Tsutsuji tells herself that her plan has succeeded but is crying. Benkei being concerned tries to approach her but she tells him to stay away. Tsutsuji says there are times where humans have to discard their pride and do things that hurt their egos. Benkei asks her why she didn't just tell Akiha that she wants to go back to space instead of acting if she hates it, she says if she did that it will also her her own pride. It will save her more pride if she got back to space with a 'plan', instead of asking and getting it easy.

Tsutsuji and Benkei are both egoistic and its their common negative trait that Aleida probably sees and paired them up because of such. Tsutsuji wants to feel special, Benkei as well. Benkei puts on the useless pieces of armour so that he looks more menacing and powerful. They're both trying to hide their weak inner selves.

Itsuki asks FON to join them in the return to space and there's alot she wants to know from him. FON says Itsuki has already asked him alot during interrogation and looks at Honoka, saying that there's something he has to do back here on Earth. Honoka mutters FON's name again.

Pied Piper appears as predicted everyone gets ready to go and bids farewell to FON. Leopard yells a super robot line, (but I can't remember what he's homaging), and he says 'nante ne~'(something like just kidding). Honoka tells FON that she'll be waiting for him in space. He prays to Kagura to protect them, but he says 'nante ne~' and heads back for some tea. He then remembers he forgot to tell them something.

Everyone on the ship puts on the QT-Roses and they immediately take effect in the range of Pied Piper. FON calls in and says he forgot to tell them that the Pied Piper's door will close as soon as anyone gets near in, so they have to hurry. So Sakura orders Mister to do a dash for it, they get into Pied Piper and everyone is thrown off their feet by the emergency brakes. Benkei gets to touch Tsutsuji and apologises, but Tsutsuji says there's no need because Benkei is just a chunk of metal.

The gang looks around as they get raised into space along with all the boxmen and boxes.

Buu and Min gets on patrol while advertising Pizza Hut and finds a dying Elle floating in a capsule.

The gang finds themselves floating in zero gravity as they reach space, but then they find themselves sticking to the floor again. Sakura explains that they are being thrown out by pressure resulting in some G's, they find that Pier Piper is expelling them along with useless boxes and other garbage.

Meanwhile Xanthippe appears and they spot Nami and Alieda heading towards her. Akiha decides to chase after Nami and get her back.

Aleida tells Nami that Xanthippe is here to collect Nerval's latest batch of migrants, who are in the boxes. She then shows Nami her 'Ikusa Otome', not sure why serenade_beta converted it back to its kanji and read it in another way lol. But yes they are 'Battle Maidens', 'Valkyries' can also work. The Ikusa Otome are Existances, probably Honoka's sisters. Aleida also shwos Nami her staff, but Akiha crashes into the room and tells Nami to return.

Nami refuses and grabs her staff, she releases her power and awakens the Ikusa Otome, she also gains her Q-Tector, which I think looks like a Dark Nanoha and Feito-chan cross. Itsuki and Honoka arrives and Honoka is shocked to find that Aleida is Kagura.

We finally see how Itsuki's ARC-II-J1's head can transform into another form, Starsylph's head probably transforms in a similar way. Aleida takes on Itsuki and Honoka and tells Nami that she won't let anyone interfere with the Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo's ritual. Nami fights Akiha , a fight between Sorakake girls.

Outside Leopard worries that he may get spotted by Xanthippe, Sakura rogers that and asks whether theres a 'bon bon'. Leopard says yes, theres a sick pervert 'bon bon' waiting to be get her ass kicked. Sakura sees that its time for some fun and orders Mister to charge.

Honoka cannot get over the fact that Kagura is now Aleida. Nami drops Akiha, she says that her sisters are either beautiful, strong or geniuses, but why do they all like Akiha so much, who's neither beautiful, strong or genius. Akiha decides that Nami is too much.

Xanthippe is happy that her job is finished and is ready to report to Miss Aleida, but then she recieves a damage report. She freaks out as she sees Leopard's ship scratching her beautiful skin. The website says that Xanthipes favourite pastime is body maintainance, just like a woman likes going for slimming sessions, spa massages, facials, manicures and stuff. Like a woman, Xanthippe hates getting ugly scars lol

Leopard says angering Xanthippe may be bad and without his Leopard Cannon he will be trashed. Indeed Xanthippe gets really angry and unleashes her drill whip that's dozens of kilometres long. She then accidentally slices a chunk off the Pied Piper and the fight inside is broken up.

Nami finds that she can breathe in space, Aleida explains that its the suit's function. In the website's Sorakake Question and Answer section, they explain that Q-Tectors produce a protective barrier around the wearer giving them protection and at the same time holds an atmosphere for them to breathe in.

Xanthippe tells Aleida that Leopard was the one behind Pied Piper's destruction. Aleida tells Nami to try out her new powers, it amplifies Kagura's QT-Mindtricks and blows out Leopard with a QT burst. Xanthippe then jumps out of the local airspace with Nami and Aleida. They use the term 'jump' for 'warping' in this show.

[Tom Bombadil]

Thanks for the very detailed summary, C. A.

Seems that we are back to Kirkwood the next episode. Some new characters show up. Why the heck the story writer think that we need more characters while there are so many undeveloped ones.

Thanks for your summary..

so what the talk between Akiha & Nami before she took the staff? and why is Nami laughing before that?

[C.A.]

Thanks for your summary..

so what the talk between Akiha & Nami before she took the staff? and why is Nami laughing before that?Akiha was asking Nami to return and get away from Aleida, who she also says was the person who took Hako-chan away.

Nami was like 'What? Why are you here wearing this suit, piloting a mech and Hako-chan has nothing to do with me'.

Akiha says, 'Just leave with me now!'

Aleida then tells Nami that it seems that Akiha is trying to bring her back to her past. And whether she decides to pick up the staff or not will decide her future. Nami ignores Akiha who's asking her to return and laughs, picking up the staff which is the obvious choice for her. She's laughing because Akiha is saying pointless stuff and she has no intentions to ever return.

[Wargumm1i]

Lol It was a bit naive of Akiha for even trying when she knows nothing. Well its not like Nami knows better, but she has her reasons.

Also is it me or does anyone think that Nami will eventually die?

[noobita]

I wonder when AKiha going to pull her Phoenix Mode?

[panpo98]

Lol It was a bit naive of Akiha for even trying when she knows nothing. Well its not like Nami knows better, but she has her reasons.

Also is it me or does anyone think that Nami will eventually die?
I agree with you but Akiha do have an excuse.

The last time Akiha saw Nami was then Nami came out of the shower asking why she brought Hakko to their house and even then Akiha didn't pay any attention to what Nami said because she was in a hurry to get to school.

If Akiha had know what we know she would likely have behaved differently.

If Nami doesn't die then I hope that she is so badly injured that she can barely remember who she is before they forgive her.

[Wargumm1i]

Nami hasent done anything that needs forgiven... yet.

[Fishfood1]

^smashing/bashing cute maids with a crowbar doesn't need forgiving? :heh:

[Wargumm1i]

Hey there not alive so bah, anal rape them and then well talk.

[Vash002]

Nami yes! You are the best soaring cake girl!

[Fishfood1]

Hey there not alive so bah, anal rape them and then well talk.

we're not sure if those maids are all like imoko in a maidroid. some could be real humans ;)

[C.A.]

Sorakake Questions say that most of them are Maidroids, so some could be humans.

[Wargumm1i]

I dont really care, im not only feeling sorry for Nami, Im also enjoying this story twist were they pit sisters against each other lol.

[Vallen Chaos Valiant]

we're not sure if those maids are all like imoko in a maidroid. some could be real humans ;)

They are all real humans as far as I am concerned. Navi or not, Nami murdered people who served her. If she wants revenge on her sisters for neglecting her, so be it. But you leave your servants alone.

[Hypernova]

"I should have killed you after all"
The face is innocent but the killing intent is pure...

Tsutsugi's pride works in mysterious ways. They should have animated her crying face, she would have looked very cute.

[Fishfood1]

"I should have killed you after all"

but if she killed fon already, then they would have still been stuck on earth.

she should be grateful of fon

[SaintessHeart]

but if she killed fon already, then they would have still been stuck on earth.

she should be grateful of fon

She should have just beaten the heck out of him. She can have my 200% worth of support in doing so.

Is it just me or the ship's cutter making simple harmonic waveforms on Xanthippe part of a subtle kinkiness?

[Fishfood1]

She should have just beaten the heck out of him.

without killing him right? cause if fon was killed by honoka, then the group would be stuck on earth for a very long time(until sakura develop something), and akiha would put box on her head every night and be a zombie until someone snaps her out of nervalism

[SaintessHeart]

Hitting him with Wygar's bow till he bleeds from all his orifices at the edge of his life should be enough.

[Wandering_Youth]

I have to agree. The maids were always taking care of Nami and supporting her. I don't think they made Nami mad in anyway at all. They didn't deserve the crowbar treatment. They're also sentient beings even if they're not human.

[K3cT]

You can't expect an emotionally-unstable girl like Nami to act within reason. The sisters are at fault too really for not noticing this problem earlier and now they have paid dearly with her betrayal.

[HashiriyaR32]

Wow, I must be a real audiophile to notice a bunch of recycled SFX from various Gundam series. Examples include: MS thruster sound from GS/GSD, transformation sound for the Aegis Gundam, beam saber contact, etc. What makes it worse is that Starsylph (Akiha's QT-Arms) is sort of a not!Aegis.

[Vash002]

Awesome episode, hell yeah Nami!

[FateAnomaly]

Nami new suit is pretty cool but she is still an unreasonable bitch. The only difference is instead of throwing tantrums, she can smash much more stuff now.

[Sinestra]

I find it funny how Nerval easily capture or persuade pretty much everyone who has power to join his side. Honestly whose left on the so called "good side" to counter him and actually has information to implement any type of plan? Akiha doesnt know enough about jack to even know what she needs to be doing.

still liking the series though there are issues i have with it but not worth complaining about.

Honestly whose left on the so called "good side" to counter him and actually has information to implement any type of plan? Akiha doesnt know enough about jack to even know what she needs to be doing. With Quantum mind tricks, mind control and hacking skills, he's a formidable villian, isn't that a good thing?

Its not that Akiha doesn't want to know what she's supposed to be doing, she's slowly picking up, its just a matter of time. People aren't telling her what she's supposed to do and she's being thrown around, we can't blame her.
