I agree, I think that Miku was more scared and shocked by the Hibiki in front of her. I mean, anyone would freak out by the sight of such a dangerous fight, even more so when their friends are involved. I do wonder what purpose Miku will serve in the series, though. She's listed as the fourth main character, is she going to be a source of strength for Hibiki like the deceased Kanade is for Tsubasa? That would be a somewhat disappointing role imo.

I saw episode 6 a while ago, but I never got around to commenting on it. Meh, so here goes.
Spoiler for Episode 6:

I honestly hope that the beginning of the anime was just the show trolling us. I mean sure; Hibiki's kindness and naivety will probably be the end of her, but I'd rather for this not to be the case. After watching episode 6, I really want her to survive; and on that note, Chris must live on! *cough* Quote:

Am I the only one that caught the reference that Ryoko Sakurai maybe a traitor? Did nobody notice the blood on the case with the supposed orders to move the blade? Did nobody catch how when attacked she told Hibiki to leave it? This had to be a setup but what is she after and why kill the defense minister remember the blood was exactly where his hand was when the rifle was jabbed into his hand to stop him from doing anything to the case.

2ch also found out that both Ryouko's name and the blonde (Fine) is a play on word "end".
The "Ryou" in Sakurai Ryouko (櫻井「了」子) means "End" or "Finish" as a single Kanji. The blonde is named "Fine" (フィーネ, as in da capo al fine) which also means "End" (in musical composition). |

I'm actually pretty sure that The Staff of Solomon, and the Nehushtan Armour are two different relics since they're based on two different myths; Nehushtan originates from the Hebrew Bible, whereas the legend of Solomon originates from Book of the Kings. I thought Chris' armed gear is her pink whip like weapon? What I don't get is why these two relics have a similar colour scheme. I know they're both of Hebrew origin, but still.. |

Oh, really? I assumed Hibiki's armed gear and relic were one and the same. So, if her relic is Gungnir, or the shards rather, what's her armed gear? But aye, I don't think The Staff of Solomon is all that useful in battle; the noise it summons basically just serve as cannon fodder for symphogear users.

Figures that Hibiki would be starting to bond with Tsubasa and now maybe Chris after this episode right as Miku catches her in action. I found it a little amusing that she'd find out about her relationship with Tsubasa because she literally happened to be across the street from the hospital at that very moment, but the whole seeing her in action thing was bound to happen.
So unsurprisingly Hibiki doesn't seem to want to use the Durandal anymore cause it kind of takes over her and turns her into a death machine so I'm thinking that sword ends up in the final bosses hand or as a plot device that Hibiki has to destroy at some point. As it stands I just don't see her using it again...just doesn't fit her personality and way of fighting, which is to communicate with her fist. Speaking of which now she's just using super robot attacks it seems, like with the Big O's sudden impact on Chris. As it stands Hibiki actually seems like the most skilled raw fighter besides the base commander, but she just can't seem to use any other weapon at all without it backfiring or just plain not working. Anyway this character owns so far and has definitely attained groovy chick status with me. What doesn't own is the pretty unfortunate levels of QUALITY this show is finding itself in of late. It's really easy to notice the animation flubs this time around where sometimes characters just barely resemble their basic design with minimal detail (Tsubasa got the worst of it this episode) and even worse when the animation just seems to stop entirely on an awkward frame (this happened a couple of times, but was most noticeable when Miku was in the restaurant). Show really betrays that it's being handled by newbies at times like these. As for Chris' depowering, that's just something that seems to always come about in mecha/shonen type shows when it becomes clearer and clearer that a "villain" is not really going to be a villain for much longer. It happened to Vegeta who was a bloody unstoppable monster before he became a good guy during the Namek arc, it happened to Fato-Chan, it happened to Soma Peries in Gundam 00, it happened to Nico Robin in One Piece, it happened to Edea in FFVIII....these character types just always seem to lose their edge to the hero once their "not villain" nature is unveiled. You could almost right a TVTrope for it if there isn't one already. |

Since Hibiki is Subaru in Symphogear, does that mean the White Devil teach Subaru how to befriend people the right way? Episode 6 does prove that... Divine Buster need not need to be a big energy to finish off the opponent. A small one is enough. |
