Back on the Mako subject, I feel like her growing importance may have a negative impact on how the show ends. So far the majority of growing tension and conflict has been resolved due to Mako breaking up the party and distracting the attention from what's at hand. She's also been a key plot device multiple times

Seems like the potential for a big scale ending is reduced somewhat, as they have almost religiously forced her foolishness into every single key moment. Why would they exclude her from whatever kind of ending they have in store? Yeah, they probably wont

Going back to what I said about drama and such before - I now realize I meant it less about the show, and more about the characters.

Every character but Mako (and by extension, her family), has been put into both comedic and serious situations. With this episode, they tried to use Mako in a serious setting, but the audience has already come to accept her as a comedic character.

They can switch between comedic and serious situations for all other characters, but for Mako - a character that has always been somewhat extremely comedic - forcing her into a dramatic event causes the event to feel shallow, and possibly even annoying.

It makes sense to use her in the way that she did - a good theory put forth by Tumblr user Zephyr explained why it had to be Mako. Link. - this also explains why Satsuki had to do the heavy lifting, and sets up the big "Sister Talk" we're going to see next episode.

I wonder if there's any importance in the fact that Mako was able to enter Ryuuko's mind; things that appear as Fridge Logic in this show are often explained later.

I was kind of hoping it'd be harder to snap Ryuuko out of it this time, but I guess there aren't enough episodes left to really stretch it out.
I was pleasantly surprised when Ryuuko killed Mako in her mind, not because I dislike Mako or anything, it was just completely unexpected. Though, Mako is what got her to her senses once again, which kinda disappointed me.

I was reallyyy hoping Mako was going to transform when she put Senketsu on.

Anway, can someone correct me if I'm wrong? But doesn't Ryuko slash Senketsu in the dream sequence? If you look after the blood spews out, Senketsu shifts upward and you see Mako not wearing Senketsu. I don't think dream Mako gets hurt at all.

I personally think it was actually Senketsu who saves Ryuko, which I would be very happy with. I think Senketsu is the most important person/thing to Ryuko, after all.

Senketsu did save Ryuko.
Looks like neither Senketsu or Mako got cut, Senketsu is actually spitting the blood, using it to trick Ryuko to think she actually cut Mako (probably it's the blood he took from Mako sometime before that scene).

Not the best episode but I still enjoyed it a lot :) Nui's angry expression is one of my fav that I seen from her so far :) So 1 scissor blade is a big ass blade while the other is a two-end scythe? cool :D

As usual, another awesome episode.
I never knew Satsuki-sama was wearing a Nudist Beach uniform all this time. hahahaha The Devas also put up a good fight. I'm kinda disappointed a bit since I was expecting a new Godrobe to be created by Ragyo-sama herself to fight both Ryuuko-chan and Satsuki-sama in case Junketsuu is destroyed. Also, I dunno if Nui will die next episode considering she's a Life-Fiber human although that stabbed was indeed very fatal from Ryuuko. Anyway, I can't wait for the Scissor Blade's completion. I hope the ending will not be the usual ending some people in this thread are predicting about. Trigger, PLEASE GIVE US ANOTHER PLOT TWIST! hahaha

Realize that Yui can just combine them right next episode.

Nice. Oddly, another Satsuki transformation, it seems. Nui with both scissors confirmed. Ryuuko seems to be getting beaten up by covers, even while wearing Senketsu. Looking forward to this.

This series is so stupid. i would drop it but there is only few episodes more, until i can complete it and give it a very low score.

This episode was disappointing. If Mako actually died this would have been great, but Trigger is afraid to kill any characters. it's sad.

Just in case people haven't seen it:

EPISODE 21 30 SEC. PREVIEW IS NOW OUT

Narration said:
A person’s life is a single tapestry.
Joy, sadness, anger, fun.
Hope, despair, regret and wishes.
Various feelings act as weaving warps.
Friendship, love, meetings and goodbyes.
Connections with people are the weft.
One by one, they are weaved together.
Two tapestries with completely different patterns will suddenly overlap.
Ryuuko and Satsuki, the tapestries of the sisters of destiny.
The thing that will put them together is…
Croquettes?!
Next time on Kill la Kill:
"Let the lips passionately talk about you"


Also - Nui doesn't keep both blades. If you pay attention, they accidentaly spoil the fact Ryuuko gets them back with this shot:

Look at the bottom. Left is the Red Blade, on the right is the... Purple Blade?

Ryuuko and Satsuki, sitting in a tree/C-R-O-Q-U-E-T...

T..E..S...Yes...less...action... more character...interaction/

Booyah.

I wonder how it'll be handled. I doubt they'll trade sob stories of fucked up childhoods but should be interesting to see how these two ladies will share the same breathing air without actually trying to kill one another.

Nakashima this is your chance. This is your chance to make me go back on my word and give this show a "great"... 8.

Honestly though, if Mako or Satsuki was killed by Ryuko it would screw up a lot of character interactions and that's the main problem. Why doesn't anybody see this?

How can Mako's family forgive Ryuko if she did something like this? If Satsuki died by Ryuko's hand how can the Elite Four ever hope to work together with Nudist Beach? Not to mention the Elite Four will most likely fight Ryuko maybe even to the death to avenge her.

Nonono, killing someone just like that would be actually pretty tactless, this is not the right time for something like this.

I wonder why we see Satsuki starting to transform at the beginning of the preview, since she doesn't have Junketsu anymore and Senketsu is Ryuko's again. Wonder if a third Kamui will make an appearance or we'll get to know what Shinra Koketsu is.

I'm thinking that Iori finally gets to make his own Godrobe for Satsuki, and it will be made from Junketsu's life fibers.

I don't think it's really that new - being an elitist hipster prick/troll has really taken off lately.

Regardless, if you want to learn more, you could probably ask TallonKarrde23 about it - then again, he's not the type to keep coming back to hate on something, so he's really not as bad as the others.
