(L) Mouretsu Pirates

[00Coyote]

I adore this show.

[ars89]

Oh man Coorie is hot! Never thought Luca would be the spy, but there are indeed 2 Kanes, maybe twins? Chiaki's reaction to her father letting the cat out of the bag was great. Isn't it quite bad if the enemy has already infiltrated the nest? Wonder why Ririka is aboard that galactic pirate's ship.

Spoiler for pirates:

-Where is the real Luca?
-Why bother switching Kanes? If it's to root out the spy, I don't see why they couldn't use the real Kane for that purpose.
-Who is Ironbeard? Was it that guy back in ep 20? What purpose does he serve?
-Why did Quartz stupidly risk herself (unless it's an android) just to taunt Marika? She doesn't bother assassinating anyone or doing any sabotage.

God, I hope it's not a cliche "we gotta work together guuuuuuuuys~" speech next week.

"Look, I know we're all pirates, so all this posturing is a foregone conclusion, but we have to join forces-"

(Hey, fuck you!)

"No man, fuck you. FUCK. YOU. You have NO IDEA how much we have riding on this meeting. They already know we're here and can wipe us out anytime. If you feel so insecure about being brought together by a schoolgirl, you can march your ass right out of here and have that Quartz bitch blow you to hell, or you can back me up and preserve your life over your pride. Now take your goddamned chocolate parfait like a man." (clunk)

Wait, did OtaKing draw this?

[Merkarion]

Best Episode ...why comes the best before the end

Spoiler:

Have you notice...Ironbeard, Ririka and Marika have the same Eyes...
I think that Ironbeard is NOT Marikas Father...he is Ririkas Father...

Looks like Kane has a Twin Brother

btw : at the End in the Preview fpr EP 25 you see that Quartz Christie, Ironbeard (on his Shirt) AND Marika (in their Hair like Quartz Christie) have a Glitter Effect...

After tracking down the source of this one a moment...why yes, he did.

[00Coyote]

Is there a translation of Marika's plans for upgrading the Bentenmaru anywhere?

Spoiler for THE PLAN:

[Chiaki_chan]

What about this episode it's great!!!!

Coorie is too sexy!
Kane then a twin brother but what reassured me was that he was a kind and it is part of the allies
And what shocked me most is that Luca is an android?? But my question is what this android has replaced the real Luca? If yes or is it?


my phrase of the week of Chiaki-chan

Spoiler for chiaki-chan:

“She’s gotten pretty good. If we survive, I'll have to let her know.”

While I expect a generic 'we must work together' speech, this happening would be totally awesome.

Alternatively, Marika crossing her legs talking circles around the pirates until they agree with her. Seems more like her style too.

Looks like they replaced Luca with that Android...but i don´t know where the real Luca is.

The 2 Kanes where first to see in Episode 21. In one Scene you see Kane as "Coach" when he took out that Bisque Company Guy, and next Scene you see Kane at the Bentenmaru...i think that there are no Teleporters^^.

Yes Courier looks grrr..^^

Yes I hope it goes well and especially since when it was replaced by the android and where it is? That the removal? lol

Coorie and I thought she would have blue eyes lol but I was wrong anyway pity she does not like this style

[Sackett]

Where is the real Luca?

Dead?

Dropped into a plothole?

Hostage?

Was never real in the first place?

I hope I will know soon

not dead, I hope not

I think in hostage but probably after by whom? xD

and yes I thought the same thing so it has probably been replaced but ... depuit the "beginning of the anime" or in the middle? if it's from the beginning ...?
After be no doubt about that Luca is really made ​​... since it was from the beginning with the others in the crew and Ririka Gonzaemon ...

[Ithekro]

Marika sure likes flashy colors when she draws something up. Looks like a bake sale ad.

And they unleased Hocchan. Deadly as ever when she turns on the sexy.

And that was quite a fight...one sided in terms of firepower, but Marika and her crew seem to be the best at what they do. About the only difference between her fight and a Harlock fight is that Harlock would have rammed the Grand Cross.

[Kyuu]

This is the real Legendary Chef.

Spoiler for Ep24:

Ririka doesn't have Marika's and Ironbeard's blue colored eyes, while Marika does have some Ririka's facial features e.g. eyebrows and hair type.


With CR, there's another Startrek reference e.g. "dropping out of warp". In Star Trek, the word "warp" is usually use for FTL travel.

With that in mind, the Ep24's Ben10 vs GrandCross battle scene reminds me of Star Trek DS9: "Shattered Mirror" battle i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukJ6N...ailpage#t=130s

Mirror O'Brien: "That Cruiser has us in weapons range. Do we make a run for it?"
Sisko: "We run alright, right at it!"
Mirror O'Brien: "Ahh! Pattern suicide."

Ben10 could have fired at point blank range when it crossed GrandCross's twin hulls.

[mechalord]

Luca was probably switched during the cat monkey ordeal... when they were put into quarantine.

It makes the most sense.

Is this story arc an anime original or is this in the printed material? Does this anime follow the light novels or is it going for an anime original ending?

The Grand Cross looks like a shmup ship.

[Chiaki_chan]

and I wondered what that would look like Chiaki scolair held in the academy Hakuho

When the show was originally supposed to air (early 2011), the director mentioned that the ending will be anime-original, but we don't really know if it's true now. Supposedly it was because of the lack of a good place to stop in the source material.
