Only one thing to say:

Spoiler:

Gin-nee..... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

(Damn you Dr. Spaghetti! Damn you!!)

(Will say more after I finish Part B. >_<)

Spoiler for Vivio:

Oh, I've come up with an excuse for Scaglietti showing Vivio as the core of the ship - it'll surely prevent the good guys from blasting him with Arc-en-Ciel right away. Though it's a lame reason.

[asaqe]

Look likes Ginga is number 2 all along...at least that will sort of bump up the survival rates of the Numbers in some funny way...

[raidou]

Err no, before they gotten Ginga in ep17 ...It is already mentioned that Due and Cinque was on a mission (Uno said that in Ep 15 I think)

Er...no. Her number wasn't shown, she wasn't addressed by the Numbers, and Due had been around as long as Uno and Tre, making her at the very least over 10 to 11 years old. 11 years ago, Ginga was just found and adopted as a child.

Not to mention Due was specifically said to be out on a mission on the exact moment when Ginga was with Subaru shopping.

And lol at 4chan's Ginga = Hokuto, Subaru = Ginga and Nove = Subaru analogies of GEAR Dendoh. As confusing as it sounds, it makes perfect sense.

"Can't touch this...
Can't touch this..."

Okay one, he's a nutbag to begin with. A 'genius' maybe, but they're usually nutbags anyway.

Don't read too much about it, it's probably a simple case of taunting.

Of course, unless that's a twist that Cradle would go Apocalypto if Vivio get yonk out or something...

How so? And why is Nove Subaru?

Lol,I just realised that those familiars are doggies instead of kitties (they look like panther in my memory) after reading your post

Maybe shopping for Jail's groceries was her mission

Just kidding

Spoiler:

If he keeps the Cradle above the city they wouldn't dare use the Arc-en-Ciel. It'd annihilate the city and kill countless innocent people. That weapon isn't meant to fired on a planet really...

[Dark Wing]

First off dose Jail want to die that bad... putting Vivio in the power core is one thing but showing her off to everybody is just going get him killed. Which I'm hoping for by the way.

Man feel bad for Zifier he's been taken out of the series for good know. I ask you wheres the justice!

Well it's everyone getting ready for battle I was personally hoping for more of the old cast to come and help with the final battle but I guess not.

Yay we're going to get to see Subaru vs. re-programed Ginga. Get ready for epic-ness on an epically epic scale. Try saying that fast 5 time.

GEAR Dendoh, a super robot anime by Mitsuo Fukuda (( the SEED guy )) had a similar plotline.

Spoiler:

One of the 2 main characters (( Hokuto and Ginga )), Hokuto got kidnapped by the evil side, got brainwashed into becoming the friend of the the bad guy's...pseudo-price in a way, whose name is Subaru.

So, if we run analogies, Subaru = Ginga, Ginga = Hokuto and Nove = Subaru.

And yeah, it helps a lot that the mechas in Dendoh has a similar style to Revolver Knuckles, it's obvious Subaru/Ginga/Nove was mildly inspired from it, aside from GaoGaiGar,Jeeg, etc.

Yeah, you need to watch Dendoh to really grasp it. It's an in-line reference, harder to grasp due to the lack of Dendoh's popularity.

This is how Dendoh looks like. Dare say it doesn't look alike at all to Revolver Knuckle and Nove's IE.

[krisslanza]

Any screencaps of this 'Cradle' or has it even been shown? Curious on what it looks like. >.>

He's above some abandoned landscape right now. I wonder how fast the thing moves.

I guess the rest of the numbers are sort of like Data weapons then...(And also a bit of an homage to Jail's former role as Calico.) And from my POV, there may be a small increase in survival rates for the numbers (Still not very high though)

Probably because of the horn and similar design/color to Lutecia's Kabuto at glance.

I never expect her to summon that many Kabuto
Always thought that Kabuto is going to be Lutecia equivalent of Powered Friedrich for Caro (from the opening)

Shoots Death Rays probably. Wait, it's non-magical weapon ... maybe it's stocked with nuclear missiles then.
