"Are you a guy or a gi...." I was on the edge of my seat but damn the conservation ended : (
Can't wait for them to show S/He the tape : )

Ange bested everyone except Tamaki XD

My favorite scene: the fountain. I love it when the fountain changes colors to match the mood. Aww Izuru and Teoria moment.

Izuru dat SEED/Tran-Ams 0____0 OMG EPIC!!! I wonder if the others will change forms too?

Wow Patrick loves Tamaki XD.

Well, this episode was nothing short of epic. Great Job Izuru! Although I ship IzuruxKei more, can't help but also Ship IzuruxTeoria so, harem route? But there's just two of them so I'll settle for two-timing XD

My take on why Ange is bested by Izuru according to Jiart despite being better in everything.

Ange is reckless. Yes, she's an amazing fighter with a freaking awesome berserker mode but she was still reckless (not following orders, charging head on, etc.) which I think why Jiart didn't think of her as a "worthy" opponent. Jiart easily defeated her (not really defeat but y'know).

On the previous episode when Ange went berserk, her opponent was equally reckless so the match was perfect because they clash perfectly in sync.

In this case though with Jiart, Jiart is a clam fighter who doesn't find Ange's style interesting at all. Izuru was the one in sync with Jiart and not Ange that's why Jiart still chose Izuru despite Ange being superior in fighting compared to Izuru.

Before the fight with Jiart I already thought about how Ange won't be able to be in par with him much less to actually defeat him if her coordination doesn't match his.

Anyway, giving this ep a 9/10 in rating. I wanted a KeixIzuru moment or at least more spotlight for Kei after the last episode.

Forgot to mention, while watching Crunchyroll/Horriblesub, during Izuru's chat with Theoria, he mentions that he's not allowed to revive his memories. Basically meaning, they have the technology to not only erase memories, but restore them?

Just thought I should mention it.

Speaking of Ange, I think it was quite a plot contrivence to make Ange and expert at everything, and to be better than any of the team in EVERYTHING, and yet, still have her unable to phase Jiart. How could Jiart find her a worse opponent than Izuru? He chose Izuru because he's the best fighter in the team. Yet, Ange IS a better fighter than Izuru. And Izuru's mech was easily bested by hers before, but now when the plot says so she can do nothing against Jiart? I find that ridiculous.


I agree with this. How can they make her kick Izuru's ass in training and yet not even challenge Jiart slightly. Sure Izuru went super saiyan this time so he can challenge him but he didn't do that shit last time he faced him and he still got Jiart excited.

Btw anyone noticed how they where saying that the Julia system and the mech couldn't keep up with Izuru? This reminds me Gundam and new-types. It seems Izuru will get an upgraded mech that can keep up with him.
Ange kicked Izuru's ass in training because Izuru is not fully serious during that fight while Ange with his/her tendencies was giving it all out.. Izuru was only seen serious in ep1, his previous fight with Jiart, and this time where he even went full Juria system hax mode.. Jiart is a fighter who can see the potential of his opponents and he sees none of it in Ange whose maximum fighting capability seems to be already realized unless he/she can control his/her recklessness..

This was a great episode. The sudden deus ex machina of Izuru's mech was just that, but that was still one hell of a battle at the end.


Eh I wouldn't call it a Deus Ex machina since we've seen this already happen with the JURIA System but definitely not to the degree we saw this week. It just shows how much Teoria affected Izuru if anything.
I can understand Izuru's mech suddenly getting faster and more effective, since the JURIA System is affected by its user and Izuru was affected by that meeting with Teoria and her words to him, but having the mech transform into something else that no one even knew could happen was a Deus ex machina. Even the crew who should know the capabilities of those mechs were surprised by the transformation.
i think that the slightly transformed ASHMB is a feature and is part of the design.. being mechs similar to what their enemies use, and seeing how Jiart's mech can also upgrade when he's serious, i think it's not really deus ex machina.. the crew in that ship may not know about this because it's the initial designers that would know of this (teoria, her assistant, some other higher up officials and engineers).. it's not unheard of for mechanics to not be given the entire thing about a machine when stuff are classified.. anyway, given all that, i hope we can see the other suits do this in-battle minimal upgrade too...

I prefer to think of it like this:
Ange's mech, like he/she said, was a heavy weapons and armor one(surprising based on that speed), and is better suited to mid-long range combat, and against Izuru's Red 5, which is more mid-range than it's potential close, it's a lost cause.

But, as for Jiart, he uses a mech similar to Izuru's, but it's more close-range thus allowing it to enter Ange's weak zone, and it is also build to keep up with his instincts that are even better than the JURIA's systems. And thus, it let's him do what Izuru and the Red 5 can't.

Thats how I like to think about it. Though your reason is probably the better one, I prefer mine when it comes to first just trying to enjoy each episode.


My thoughts exactly. Also by charging recklessly Jiart he wouldn't be a match to him since he is more "technical" fighter.

I still want to know why Ange was assigned to the group. He is clearly unstable during battle and how could anyone not have seen it beforehand.


Yes i still think we might find out the reason for. Hoping ti wasn't just to introduce a new character in the series.

Also as the ED points to a IzuroxKei i think we might come to a twist about Teoria...

Another good episode and amazing fight. Izuru really showed us what he can do. Also he is really a good leader as he cares for for the team and thinks about what he can do for them. This episode showed us how Izuru is struggling with his own problems.

Well it's Power Rangers logic......the sixth ranger maybe powerful but the Red ranger will always be the strongest. Ange maybe powerful and talented but if he/she can not work as a team or follow orders then it will always be a problem. But the way Ange beat Asagi, Kei and Suruga was fun and Tamaki loses automatically anyway.

The battle sequence was just amazing........i don't know how many times i repeated that scene. MJP have some of the best battle scenes among recent mecha anime and it's better than Valvrave or Gargantia (action wise). I really missed battles like these so i am pretty happy with how MJP is showing those battles.

Hopefully the others can power up too especially Asagi's Blue-1. This show is way too underrated.....i guess people dismissed this one as being generic??? Well they are missing something great that for sure.

They said that they will make him/her watch that sex tape, and based on the reaction they will know. ^^


That's a good idea but i think Kei will beat them up first anyway.

I'm waiting for Jiart to have a change of heart and become the leader of team Rabbits, and then defeat the Wulguru.




Overall I thought it was a great episode... and I hope we can see if any of the other AHSMBs have an unleashed mode....

Nope, they already got their sixth Ranger.

Yeah someone beat me to this. Ange is realized potential and thus is talented 24/7. Team Rabbits in general (not just Izuru) is kinda laid back about actually doing anything with their potential unless they're forced.

Great fight here, however they really need to start coming clean with what Rabbits is and what the military has done to these guys. Especially now that Izuru has gone berserker/SEED/Unicorn/however else you want to call it.

The fact that Ange has gone psycho/disobeys orders constantly and is still on the team means that their superiors aren't surprised and its expected.

I'm a few days late but I just had to chime in and agree that the battle was EPIC. I let out a huge breath at the end that I hadn't even realized I was holding!

Really hope all the other Rabbits have cool transformations too.

I have to be honest. I replayed that last fight scene at least 5 times, haha.

I really enjoyed this episode. As others have said, I liked how Ange's recklessness and lack of close-combat skills allowed Izuru to completely outclass him/her in the fight with Jiart. Having contrasts between characters' abilities in a show is really refreshing (as the entire team has their individual AHSMB's which allows you to see their varying skill sets). I hope the series gets even better from here on out.

As for the whole MJP vs Valvrave bit, I just like to think the two are so different that it's hard to compare them. Valvrave is absolutely ridiculous in so many ways with a mecha plot device thrown in the mix, while MJP tends to take on the old-school mecha vibe. For me personally, Valvrave was a good laugh...it doesn't satisfy me as a mecha anime like MJP does, though.
Just chill out and concentrate...

That was one hell of a good one on one battle. Fast moving, with great animation and not taking too long to solve the issue.

Kei, you're gonna need to get active in the Izuru front or else Teoria will get him back. Hot alien chicks generally get their guy in the anime. Plus, it's bound to be revealed that she's Jiart's sister or cousin, or something similar.

I don't get it.

The fight was awesome, the animation is consistent and great, the story is not bad, the OST are good too, why does this get such low rating (6.91) on MAL? There are a few thing that happened too soon, like the sudden Izuru's transformation, but at least, it's not as chaotic as some *cough cough*series like to pull...

A lot of people gave up after first five episodes and rated the entire show at that point. That happens a lot here. Or majority switched to Valvrave cuz' it was crazier and offered, according to them, far better plot. This appeared to them as you ''standard mecha''. Shame but that is how it goes.

5/5

At first I did not understand, but after getting to know better the Doga Kobo, I also understand why the series has Codest background.
However still surprises me that they did a background mecha series, usually Codest animation studio prefers to set background comic-sentimental, but this series is not disappointing, especially when you consider the animations really good!
Episode great, a good mix of comedy, romance and action.
Kei is a hoot! XD

lol the question of if ange is a boy or girl and the porn tape brought up again. It also seems ange is better then everyone else at their thing. Though find it odd it didint show them ange being a better drawer. Ok from princess and izurus talk they can revive their memories whenever they like. Though it was nice to hear some of the memories. Well seems like the robots have two forms. wonder i we will start to see the other members form or if its leader exclusive. Pretty bad ass fight. Still like the fact they gave him a chainsaw sword instead of a regular one.

So Ange is exceptional at everything, apparently. Wonder why Jiart was able to handle him/her without much difficulty then. I guess Ange's performance in the mock battle wasn't reflective of his/her actual combat ability, since Izuru was only treating it like light sparring, and yielded without actually trying to fight.

Great mecha combat in this episode. Despite being so flashy and dynamic, it's also very structured, with attacks and movements flowing together seamlessly.
