Hopefully, Nudist beach or Mako will a quick rescue Ryuko while the elite 4 will rescue Satsuki. Even better maybe Ryuko rescuing Satsuki for they can have some sister bonding time

quigonkenny · 2014-02-20, 02:50

Speculation:

By the time the OP is done, Ryuko will be on her way to Chez Kiryuuin for some "purification time" with Ragyo-okaasama (heh heh), and Satsuki will have disappeared from her spot 6 inches into the wall (probably following Ryuko). We won't see any of the three Kamui wearers again this episode until (maybe) the end. Ragyo will have left the COVERS and Nui and/or Rei to mop up the Devas, Nudist Beach, and any remaining students/family. The rest of the time will be spent on watching the Devas and NB succeed/fail.

That took a very unexpected turn. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I really hate that

Spoiler:

It just doesn't fit. Anyways, next week's episode looks really promising.

I was pissed about that too until I saw the After-Credits scene.

Spoiler:

Gonna have to wait for the subs to know exactly what she has in mind.

dniv · 2014-02-20, 14:28

That was an awesome episode!!! Lol to the flirting.

This felt really real, and I felt bad about

Spoiler:

. That was pretty terrible.

I especially like how they're now switching to only web previews so they can max out the animation time for everything else.

That just impresses me. It's rare to see shows that don't have PV's in the episodes because they want to put in more content.

Kill la kill has gotten so amazing. I liked this episode more than last episode.

The tension is amazing. This is definitely my favorite anime right now, I can't wait to watch the rest of it. If this keeps on going, it could surpass at least anime-wise my favorite LN anime... which would be impressive indeed.

I also liked the after-credits scene.

II Maestro · 2014-02-20, 14:34

DTR! that guy sure hate the name doutonbori robo.

Tokkan · 2014-02-20, 14:43

LOL, so Soichiro really was Isshin? I just put that out as wild speculation last week, totally did not expect it to be true.

Gravitas Free Zone · 2014-02-20, 14:43

Aw, Gamagoori really cares, and everyone knows it.

The episode managed to include enough hope and amusement to balance out the overall grim situation that the allied cast is in. (Speaking of Gamagoori, I thought his staring in shock at the rescue device after Ryuko cut up the attacking Life Fiber zombies was particularly funny.)

Ryuko having another Heroic BSOD: Since she's been out of action for a month (and wasn't that text quite a transition?), there's going to be some time spent getting her sorted out. Having her refuse to wear Senketsu this time because she thinks she's an abomination does fit the scenario and mirrors the post-Osaka refusal.

Except she's a lot more pissed off now, and the Osaka refusal only lasted two minutes. This looks quite a bit more serious. We'll just have to see how all that anger is being directed next week.

My, how things have changed: The post-credits stinger hope spot comes from... Satsuki. You don't spank Satsuki.

I Am Your Father: Faking his own death is the simplest way of addressing the paternity issue, but his original body still resembles Stripper Sensei's...

Breimoon · 2014-02-20, 15:16

That nonon-ninja outfit really did it for me, finally a little of nonon fanservice. And Ira X Mako confirmed!!!!!! Yeaaaaaaah!!!

Death Usagi · 2014-02-20, 15:25

Wow... everyone was right... Soichiro = Matoi Isshin =w=;;

ookamigirl · 2014-02-20, 15:25

The attack of Covers.
Things got pretty messed up fast.
Ryuko got faced with an unexpected truth.
Sometimes, the things you fight the most are those you can never escape.
The future doesn't look very bright right now.
So the story of Ryuko is finally revealed.
Next episode should be the bomb!
Can't wait to see more action ^^

SinsI · 2014-02-20, 15:25

Ryuko definitely needs a doze of Mako.

Death Usagi · 2014-02-20, 15:38

The episode was pretty epic.

Honnouji Academy has fallen apart

Satsuki gets captured

The Elite Four lost access to 3-Star Goku Uniforms due to them being worn out, while humans in Japan have run away to Nudist Beach's HQ.

But I didn't expect the Elite Four to actually use Nudist Beach's armory. XD

Dat Nonon in Nudist Beach outfit was totally unexpected

Ryuuko is in a coma...

Soichirou = Isshin

Then Ryuuko now becomes totally different after waking up D:... Poor Senketsu Q_Q

HalfgildMora · 2014-02-20, 15:45

The Four Kings are fighting as Nudists

And Souichirou is Isshin Matoi just as I predicted. A month timeskip was an unexpected turn though.

Poor Senketsu

I have the feeling that Ryuko is going to meet her mother now. And Ragyo intends to put her into that giant kamui. Probably together with Satsuki.

SilverSyko · 2014-02-20, 15:47

Huh, so Soichirou really was Isshin. Talk about some drastic body modifications.

And the Elite Four have joined up with Nudist Beach now. I guess Mako's gonna be an agent now too.~

This Shinra-Koketsu thing Satsuki mentioned, it must be the ultimate Kamui Ragyo's having Nui prepare and plans on having it devour Satsuki. Even if Satsuki does escape though, something tells me that may end up happening anyway.

Jeez though, what the heck has gotten into Ryuko? I thought she had no problem being one with Senketsu.

ChampDream · 2014-02-20, 16:09

Great episode, I really like that Gamagoori and Mako moment, also I was suprise ata Ryuko being mean to Senketsu, poor him.

Candyshark · 2014-02-20, 16:16

A few episodes ago Ragyou special touch was more or less explainable now she is just creepy or downright insane. Very akward.

Ryuuko, it is not time for adolescence tantrums you know.

Death Usagi · 2014-02-20, 16:23

Now that I think about it, Isshin did say if Ryuuko takes up the sword and fights, she will face despair and hardship. I guess he really did mean it.

Kanon · 2014-02-20, 16:41

I didn't expect a timeskip. It was a short one, but it was enough for the world to be turned upside-down. Covers has taken over Japan, the Elite four have become nudists (that's awesome!), Satsuki is imprisoned and Ryuuko is a self-loathing mess. Things aren't looking too good right now, but Satsuki is keeping hope alive! She will make Ragyo regret sparing her life. I hope. The show is doing a really good job making me hate Ragyo. She was more creepy than ever in this episode.

Gamagoori's concern for Mako was really cute. They're definitely the OTP of this show. Glad he was able to rescue her.

Ryuuko's breakdown was expected and understandable (what she's just learned is a lot to take in), but I was very disappointed she lashed out as Senkentsu. Poor guy didn't deserve that. I hope this phase won't last too long. I don't like when main characters go all DARKNESS.
