They also kissed in 123. Although the circumstances were less then ideal.

[DragonOsman]

Damn it, why did I forget it even though they've already kissed twice?

[GendoAizenPig]

I even forgot about the one in transcendence arc. I blame it on this series being a monthly series now. It feels like forever since it happened. (It was in a volume that came out in 2013)

[DragonOsman]

Man, that was 5 years ago. Really puts it into perspective, doesn't it?

[GendoAizenPig]

It sure does. I had to do a double take when I seen the date.

[Olengie]

Dont forget that the manga was on hiatus for a while

[DragonOsman]

The scanlations are also a bit behind the RAWs, though. But we shouldn't talk about translations here.

Spoiler for Chapter 216 RAWs:

And the chapter starts with Kazuya realizing how many of his friends have come to Elca. He's understandably taken aback, until Arcadia chimes in by saying he doesn't have time to be startled (I think) since the LP's can't maintain the link to Elca forever. Roxanne starts by talking trash to one of the Goddesses of Elca, who responds with a particle beam to the face. But instead of being vaporized, Roxanne dodged the blow and got behind her, much to her disbelief. Roxanne soon employs her Volt Weapon, and her comrades do the same, much to Darth Gengo's disbelief.

He's shocked even more when Roxanne disassemble her Anti-Nova shields, and uses the shards as weapons. Charles compliments the attack with her patented Typhon Tempest Turn. Though neither can land a solid hit, Cassie moves in next to attack. Though her blade shatters on the Goddess' wrist, it allows Rana to move in and wail on the arrogant deity's face. Rana then summons her Transcendent powers, and nails the Goddess flush in the face. She tries fleeing, but Cassie manages to keep pace with her , much to her disbelief.

Another of the Goddesses unleash a particle beam, but Roxanne blocks it with her shield. She then gets nailed by Charles, while her cohort gets it from Cassie. The Elcans can't believe the newcomers have such incredible power. Meanwhile, Satellizer charges up for what looks like a finishing blow, as the chapter comes to an end.

[DragonOsman]

Chapter sounds great. Though maybe next chapter the Goddesses will turn the tables on the heroes. I hope not.

[GendoAizenPig]

Kind of weird that they (Roxanne and Charles) were helpless against Commander Nova and haven't done anything noteworthy since and now are able to do this. As much as I like the characters, I hope they explain why they're stronger now.

Because MC has grown a pair +1000 to stats of all pandoras

[DragonOsman]

Is it confirmed that Kazuya powered them up? Or am I forgetting something?

[GendoAizenPig]

He would've had to do it in this chapter. If not, they haven't been powered up by him. Roxxane might've kept her transcended powers, but that still doesn't change the fact that transcended Satellizer and Rana were helpless against a commander type Nova and had to be saved by Windy.

I'm guessing it's just the "Rule of Cool" until stated otherwise.

[DragonOsman]

Yeah, maybe they'll get another power-up from him. If not, they either got their own power-up somehow. Rule of Cool in the works (or just Deus ex Machina (man I hate that term)).

[Tachibana]

They've basically caught these so called goddesses off guard. I bet you that they aren't trained for combat or even know how to fight at all.

[DragonOsman]

That's likely how it is, now that you mention it.

[GendoAizenPig]

I not so sure about them not knowing how to fight. The one goddess straight up smashed Eluka Satellizer's head into the ground with a kick while she was rushing to attack Ibaniel with pretty accurate precision. They also seemingly know Freezing like any other Nova and knew how to negate Kazuya's. Combine that with their other abilities (Laser Beams and disintegrating Kazuya's hand) makes me think they've put work into their offensive capabilities. I mean the one was just snapping heads off of the Eluka forces left and right.

I'll give you that they were caught off-guard though.

Perhaps, but what they're doing isn't really helping their situation very much. So far all they've been doing is running around and shooting those Nova beams.

Pandora are trained for the purpose of fighting Nova. These fake goddesses are no exception. Pandora also possess a wide variety of abilities that the Rounders do not possess. The most notable being the High-End skills developed by Aoi Kazuha. Not to mention that the Pandora had the element of surprise.

At best, these fake goddesses seem boast in massive power, abilities, a god complex and arrogance.

The Pandora on the other hand have High-End skills, unique abilities, volt weapons, Pandora mode and the Transcendence. This gives them the edge. And with Kazuya's ability to induce Transcendence in Pandora and boost they're overall battle capabilities. They'll have even more of an advantage.

The heroes definitely won the first round, but I'd say the general consensus is the Goddesses were taken off-guard. Though once they regain their bearings, Satellizer and friends could easily find themselves on the defensive, or worse. Remember, the head Goddess hasn't gotten involved yet, and I dread to think what'll happen once she does. Since these are Maria's sisters, it's possible they're around her power level, if not stronger, so writing them off now (not saying you specifically are) would be a serious oversight. And I'm certain the heroes aren't being that arrogant, or it will bite them in the end.

[Tachibana]

Another thing I'd like to point out is that the Pandora that were sent over is probably armed with the LSS gear.
