----------------------------------------
A decent episode, not as epic as when HQ was being attacked, a few episodes back. My only complaint would be that the episode is being rushed at certain parts. Teana/Tia's fight was rushed so badly, she basically just took on all 3 Numbers head on, which i think, she could've done at the start of the whole fight.

But the episode was full of surprises, Vivio turning into a woman and getting ready to fight Nanoha-mama. Zafira and Shamal's appearance was also surprsing and more.

It wasn't my favorite episode but it's pretty high still.

I lilked the battles it just shows Teana's judgement during battles and i thought it was pretty well done. The Numbers are getting slaughtered one by one.

We lost the only Mahou Shoujo moe character we really had =(...next week is lighting team i would assume i cant wait to see Fate battle

It also seems Nanoha went back to her "Shoot first! Tell stuff later"

I am pleased everyone is no longer getting their butts kicked by the combat cyborgs. All in all I am happy with this turn of events. Very curious as to how the fight between Vivio and Nanoha will turn out.

I loved this episode, Tia's finally gotten the enemies into the position she needed to confirm how they fight and did the only thing possible and succeeded. Vivio's transforming looked awesome, I can't wait to see that fight.

Finally, I've caught up ^^.

It was a good episode but the fighting did feel rushed at points. I give Teana credit for the well executed plan but it just went down rather quickly. Subaru got more time but that was slightly hampered by the flashbacks.

I have mixed thoughts about Nanoha going up against Vivio but I'll wait and see how that pans out.

Oh, and somebody really needs to take out number 4 A.S.A.P. She's getting to be the most annoying villain.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

Quite disappointed at the Teana hax - she shouldn't have been able to emerge victorious.

Fights wrapped up quite quickly but still a good episode. Vivio vs Nanoha? Don't think it'll be a battle I'll enjoy watching :/

Teana raped them in 1 shot each, I guess it shows that she payed attention to Nanoha's training but this is a bit too much isn't it?

Subaru's fight is enjoyable I guess, high speed wing road battles aint bad. It's kinda weird though that Mach Caliber could still fight even when Subaru is unconscious, what a smart AI.

And why did Signum spent some time wrecking those stupid gadgets =.= I was kinda expecting an epic battle between her and Zest, but seeing how things are turning out I guess not.

Finally I have to agree with Quattro the blaster system looks stupid. It looks like some kind of level up spell which increases her power level one by one. I was seriously expecting some really advance technology too.

Good grief, "Let the befriending begin" INDEED. I counted 6 wins for Team Nanoha, 7 if you count Signum's miniature face-off with Zest's Unison device.
Oh, and- @blackfeather: Teana's win almost feels like a cheat, until you remember that she was wearing them down over time- Then it's kinda forgivable. But yeah, one hit for each is a lil' unbelievable.
Just my two cents.

wtf is up with all these plotholes...

Vivio's being tortured by some horrible, horrible people. All this girl wants is her mama. Suddenly, there is her mama! But, unforunately, due to plotholes, she believes the assholes that tortured her and tries to kill mama. Cause that makes sense.

^ Found that quite annoying as well...

Vivio's transformation was pretty anti climatic to me. It kind of reflected Hayate back in A's.

Still loved the episode though, things are about to get rough

I was quite okay with Teana's win. She had no chance normally, so she had to stake it all on a gamble that they would attack her the exact same way. If one little thing had gone wrong in her plan, she would have been instantly killed. That's pretty ballsy IMO

dont forget Tia did aim for knockout spots ( back of neck and chin) so it would make sense one hit KO even if cyborg

So somehome the naming was off, so i watched ep. 24 first and wanted to complain about that they cut the comeback that short (lturning the situation around in like 5 seconds..), while we have seen them getting beaten up for several episodes.

But this way was okay i guess. Still a bit short compared to how long they had to endure, but overall fine.

Kinda hard for it not to - she had exactly one chance, it was three-on-one, and she was at least as worn-out as they were. It's showing her beginning to make use of tactical mindset and training.
Subaru got more time but that was slightly hampered by the flashbacks.
Definitely seemed like a weird time for a flashback; if it was me, I probly would've dedicated this entire ep to Nanoha and Téa, then put all of Subaru's stuff in the next ep. Tho of course that depends somewhat on just what's in the next ep.
Oh, and somebody really needs to take out number 4 A.S.A.P. She's getting to be the most annoying villain.
Hatey hate and a side of hatesauce. OMFG. I hate Scaglietti, but I loathe Quattro; she's just as nasty but without any of the cool and actively invidious. Plus I'd almost swear she's playing with herself as she taunts them. >.<

Well, a situation like that will allow you to believe things that you wouldn't normally, and I think she knows about her original mama, but yeah...maybe if she'd seen Nano go off on Téa a while back it'd make more sense. Nngh.

Yay Shamal and Zafira! :D

She deserves the worst, most drawn out, tortuous, longest, most pathetic death is this series.

Mach Caliber autopiloting Subaru was unexpected. since when did devices become so talkative?

I dunno, she's only slightly more of a chatterbox than Raging Heart, I'd think..?

Very explosive to start to this episode, that was quite a powerful blast by Dieci, she forced Nanoha to break 1 of her limits in order to defeat her.

I really hate Quattro, twisting Vivio and making her fight Nanoha.

Wow Mach Caliber showing all of it's intelligence there, helping Subaru out big time then giving her a great motivational speech, looks like Subaru might have defeated Ginga with the Divine Buster.

Shamal & Zafira appeared right when we needed them and captured Otto, that took down all the barriers.

Teana was able to execute her plan perfectly and take out 2 of her opponents, only Nove is left.

Finally the meeting between Reguis & Zest.
