That's a good question.

With this show, my impression is that each of these Alones requires a certain amount of energy to operate, and so maybe the energy is simply not there to use 2 or more at once.

It's notable how an arrow from Rei seems to re-energize the Alone, or even "amp it up" beyond where it was originally.

TvTropes invites you to view the Sorting Algorithm of Evil trope for the answer about the appearance of the alones.

I'd say that the solution to this is that they *don't* have all the monsters in their hand at the same time, because that would cause serious problems. First, where to store all of them? Second, keeping one vicious monster in check at a time, until they're released for their attack is already hard enough, but keeping a dozen of vicious monsters in check at the same time?
Foe their own safety, they thus keep it at one vicious monster at a time, and only after it has failed and they need a new one, they create or organise a new one.

@Triple_R, Shimapan Ok....I think I can accept those reasons.

Now, move to next topic............anyone find it strange that the Ravan and Rei don't recognize the existence of Vivid girls at all?

I expect that they will start to discuss that all of "Alone" was destroyed by the unknow group of flying girls but NO they are just accpeted it and keep sending a new one.

(Actutally, the Raven doesn't seem to care about "Alone" being destroyed at all)

The Raven would rather torture Rei for failure and lack of resolve (always blame the minion! Villainy 101). Rei may never have actually been close enough to see the girls directly: she's always shot from a distance. She knows something special must be taking down the Alones, but she may not be able to tell what.

That explains the no new songs. Vol. 4 is going to have the first OST, and if there's a first, there's going to be a second, which means I only have one more chance at getting a new song, character or otherwise.

I can't believe they spent an entire poster space just for that I know I wanted a good look, but I never thought they'd used the poster for that

It has to be the scarf. I've been intrigued by scarf girls over the years, and it always made me wonder, "don't they feel hot in that?" And then I'm jealous over a scarf and like "I bet my arm is warmer if I put it around her"

Especially since it seems by next episodes previews that Akane is injured enough to land her in intensive care.
Maybe it has to do with Grandpa being disgraced after that Engine incident. It's all his fault I say, pillaging the family funds for use in his keymaking project, why, if it weren't for his spend-thrifty ways, I wouldn't have had a chance to uh... to see some docking sequences *runs*

Good choice. Thighs > butts
I'm.... going to have to agree with that. I mean, there's so much fun to be had with the legs, and yet, the only thing I can think of for the butts is for me to role-play being a chair

Anyway. Episode 8:

It appears that docking can only be performed with Akane, for reasons unspecified beyond "that's the way the system is designed."

Rei's behavior suggests she still hasn't connected the four who oppose her with the girls who bug her at school. Her behavior with Aoi vs her behavior when thinking about her opposition just doesn't make sense otherwise.

Only four shots left. It should be fairly obvious by now that she's not going to manage it using the Alones.

ep.8

so akane is on injury list with other 3 wonder to do give alone is on shell recover upgrade mode & yet notice akane’s weapon still showing that she still fighting.

give options are low that can’t do docking with other colors (yea really akake’s grandpa YET to make device combine for other color docking) yet what to do have everyone move-out cause blow-up the place with missile bomb special.

rei still hmm wonder see aoi had some talk about they want to do & how they want help in their way so after talk with resolve the 3 vivid all focus ready to help in.

so plan is get missile in boom the alone & oh rei gave it another arrow shot upgrade so timing all in yet look almost gave over.

til aoi got a “push” with help of akane’s boomerang to jet fly to hammer push the missile to boom alone with rei wondering why my plan not happening & akane all better with aoi crying on her.

Yeah, I can't really blame Rei's breakdown there. Wasted two shots on that useless bugger. Running low at this point and frankly there isn't much reason to think the next Alone are going to have any better chance at getting the job done. Of course it might have gotten the job done if she'd just used up the rest of her arrows powering that one up while Akane was down for the count...

Great system design by Grandpa. There's a man who gets his body swapped with a stuffed animal and then throws his old body into a fridge . Can't say it's surprising he made Docking only possible through Akane thus dooming them if anything happened to her.

While I thought everyone was taking it a bit too easy for too long, they got the job done.
