The aftermath of the nuclear explosion unfolds upon Windbloom...

What are the results of

Arika Yumemiya vs. Nina Wang
The Fated Battle, Round 2

Actually I'm more interested in what'll happen to Sergay now... hm... can The North Hound overcome all odds and avert the fate of both Otome?

Find out next time on Otome TV!

I think we can safely assume that everyone didn't get vaporized. That would be fairly anticlimatic. Other than that... well... I'm not going to even try and theorize. I was fairly certain that Erstin would be one of the last to die, and we all know how that turned out.

Yeah well, you also guessed completely right about her being somewhat 'dubious' in loyalties.

To me, last episode was predictable in convention but hopefully now the show is able to proceed in any various unexpected direction. I do *not* want Aoi to die though (wah), and this better be a Natsuki drenched episode otherwise I'll seriously weep blood.

MattAlchemy · 2006-02-08, 22:51

That explosion of both of them at the end inspired me, that's what makes me want to watch Episode 18. I want to see all the Otome's expressions when they saw that, or who got hurt.

Diodati · 2006-02-08, 23:13

Remember that picture frame that Arika held up of Erstin?

Spoiler for OMG I'm really worried now, hopefully this is a photoshop:

Enthusiasm has now been replaced with trepidation.

Haha. Yes, that is clearly an altered image.

I love your avatar, Enigma.

Yeah, that's a pretty bad Photoshop™ job. Look around her hands carefully. Especially her fingers that cross the picture. Rough cut.

Well, I think Episode 18 will bring about all the insanity one could possibly want. I also expect a decent cliff-hanger ending or I'll burn my bra.

Now THAT would be worth the price of admission right there.

Ep 18 had better be Natsuki-centric. That's all I have to say. As much as I am a Shizuru-slave, I'm missing the wicked coolness of Gakuenchou. And PLEASE let Erstin's death not have been in vain.

EnseiSong · 2006-02-08, 23:55

I guess because of the perview for this episode ended with Aoi.... the people at 2chan are thinking "SHE WILL DIE!!!" something like that..... maybe....

Nearly as rough as my eyes? Bah you don't expect me to know the difference - I never have and I doubt I ever will - plus it's 5am, crew!

EDIT: Actually, I figured out the Tate/Natsuki/Shizuru/Maria from last week - one per month is my limit.

Ahhh k', trepidation replaced by enthusiasm. I'm not posting again in here now.

I still think it's very possible, based on the fact that so many people think its possible - Sunrise have adhered to that 'worked-out predicability', so I'm going to remain pessimistic so I can be pleasantly surprised. Because y'know if Aoi dies then I'm counting down to when the rest of the 'shoujo-ai' characters do as well...

Did you see her face? It looks like if someone stabbed her and she had her last words with a smile"I'm sorry" Or"Bye..." And yes, with a smile like most I seen before.

Or either she's crying because Mashiro died. NAH NEVER.

I'll be so disappointed if when just in the first 10 seconds of episode 18, someone stops their fighting and they go their separate ways and then the rest of the episode is devoted to more plot development.

Zilveari · 2006-02-09, 00:36

Well obviously this episode won't end the fight between Nina and Arika. The blast probably forced them both to back off. I highly doubt Nagi wants the two of them to destroy the joint... at least not yet. He still hasn't done his political crap.

Then in the preview we see Natsuki all bandaged, getting pwnt by Miyu. And Mashiro wandering through the desert... how the hell does she get way out there? And alone?

Sakuya · 2006-02-09, 01:25

Poor Mashiro. She finds out she's not the Queen AND loses everything.

I feel sorry for her. Well, for episode18, it's back to her room again.

Blaat · 2006-02-09, 02:42

I hope Mai appears at the end of the episode

Bloody · 2006-02-09, 04:30

and I hope we can see some Mikoto (in human) in action

Ghostring · 2006-02-09, 04:36

whao i wonder how mashiro feel now that she find out that shes really is a fake princess.... >.< and i wanna see mikoto in human form 2 =) if there is

Nightengale · 2006-02-09, 04:43

Call me an evil bastard if you want, but...

I demand we get the cliche~ish "Boo Farewell of a Leader" and the "Rock Throws till the Forehead Bleed" scene!!!!!!

Just a mere Aoi "Goodbye with Tears" scene is...too plain.
