----------------------------------------
Hibiki had to sacrifice her secrecy in order to save her friend Miku from a wayward car and the enemy Symphogear Chris got pwned as well. Now poor Miku knows and she don't know what to make of it, ok now this is a good time to try and make Miku a Symphogear somehow.

Hibiki's scar is kinda sexy where it's located between her small tits, Miku is sexy dfc as well, like their playfulness in the bath and my god too much steam.

You forgot to named Tsubasa here, they seem to be closer than before.
Even the image of her to be perfect she is really bad cleaning.
Hibiki clean up everything in the room.

Miku saw Hibiki when she went to meet Tsubasa from the school library, as from the past episodes I do still believe that Miku love Hibiki not just as friend more than that.
She was blushing before, also she got a bit jealous there.

Yeah Miku does realize that Hibiki got little muscle in the bath, nothing special there but it was fun to see.

Hibiki is determination to fight xD

Miku now know what Hibiki has been doing.

I don't think Miku will get a Symphogear, for now we don't have any information of stronger enemys, so don't know how it will fit as another person will get Symphogear.

Kanade & Hibiki is enough.

Hibiki is special, she recieve it from Kanade when she saved her.

Tsubasa's hospital room did look like a cross between an addicts room and a room that just got ransacked.

Tsubasa and Hibiki are on better terms now so that's nice to see. The bath scene with Hibiki and Miku was cute but that damn steam. Of course, the best part is the singing during the battle. That never gets old.

This episode is everything that directing should take into account with fan service, character interactions and fights in anime series per order it should be for maximum enjoyment. Everything was well directed and placed in this episode to reflect that. So I am very happy with this episode. Here my thoughts.

About Chris, Chris got my sympathies with the following,

Considering how she was crying and the kids around her with her being treated in the spoiler
one cannot enough sympathize with her loss and suffering. Due know that rape and physical abuse along with taking the male boys to work is quite feasible there considering it’s now shown, it’s quite possible. Despite that I really liked seeing the mansion at the beginning here for the scenery is nice and it was nice to discover part of the mansion is in water here. Loved that Chris was shown here being angry already at what she suffered. I did not consider from the following spoiler
that Chris’s breasts were that big. That was surprising to say the least of fan service. Still it was nice to see that Chris grinded her teeth at the sight of the blonde girl here. Whom her smile again shows. Chris was also well shown getting angry here. I find.

Loved seeing Chris flying here. She looked there visually. While she did quite a number in Hibiki in the spoiler
at first with her whips I call them. I find that Chris’s anger was best shown in part 1 and part 2 scenes. It shows really well her claws in part 2. Finally what really got impressive is in the spoiler
Chris can launch 2 of her mini anti-matter orbs. From each of her whips. Rather interesting. However in thee end the explosion here makes one wonder how much damage Chris took exactly and her survival. In any case I don't blame her for wanting to kill off the world after all the world treated her like shit.

About the fan service, actually it had 2 purposes. Erotic but also character background in regards to their love. The list says more:
  • First of all Kanade is shown full frontal naked in the spoiler
    BlankV is shown and BlankB. I see it more than that. I see it as Tsubasa’s love for Kanade. Yuri so to speak. Why else would she think of Kanade like that. She just seems to have the regret of not confessing to Kanade.

  • The fan service of Miku/Hibiki was interesting. It can be divided in to 2 parts. 1st part in the spoiler
    shows rather well the body of Miku particularly. Well she has nice figure. Although censor 1 here suggests the water may become more transparent and censor 2 shows a possible better exposition of Hibiki’s chest although that scar is a good mark of survival. I also wonder if this scene will have more although it looks like playtime.

    2nd part in the spoiler
    shows underwear fan service. Now just shows some nice contours however Miku is not DFC. She is “Cup B” and Hibiki’s colour of underwear did not look to suit her IMO. Despite all that it was some skinship. Best to enjoy since we know Hibiki dies in the future.

  • I wonder if it is me or the staff of the series to reveal more in Hibiki’s transformation in the spoiler
    I see very easily the BlankV. I also noticed Chris’s shot here. That was light but still present around to notice for me.


About Hibiki, she was splendid in the following,

whom is a homage to Bruce Lee. What she did is essentially what Bruce died for in showing the world. A palm attack that damages the insides while doing nothing on the outside until it reaches it from the inside. That was kick ass. Chris got serious damage there. From the start of the fight Chris sure started early here. That was bad for Hibiki. It is clearly shown here that she regrets not telling Miku. However her eyes determine all in her seriousness. The way she dodged the attacks in the spoiler
was splendid. Although one pose looks plain suggestive. It proves none the less that Hibiki gained speed in her training. I liked how they combined her blood with the dust when she got knocked back here, in a rather nasty way since she tried to get both shots of Chris. Here comes the interesting part in the spoiler
the sequence suggests that Hibiki has absorption of attacks into her own armour to after boost her attack in to a deadly one. Essentially I think there is a limit to how much you absorb but once it hits with one’s shot it becomes something unblockable. No armour nor no defence can stop this hit. Once it reaches your body, it’s over for your insides.
That’s what Bruce Lee showed one can do with his palm. On top of that she gets speed momentum and more power since she grabbed Chris’s whips and could squeeze them.

From the start I liked that Miku here as she was looking at Hibiki running, looked to me like she is thinking Hibiki is fading from her. While I do admit that Miku’s expression here along with her walking away here tells me she is suspecting Hibiki. While I loved Hibiki’s face here and how Tsubasa surprised her here. That was nice. Still Hibiki’s
expression at Tsubasa was funny in her little panic. Tsubasa’s room in the spoiler
is a total mess! Oh wow so much garbage it’s amazing. I wonder WTF are the Kleenexes for. It was nice that Hibiki cleaning Tsubasa’s room and Hibiki’s smile here was enjoyable. Hibiki’s
blush here was very adorable and her cheerful attitude here was nice to have helped Tsubasa. However it is undeniable that Tsubasa’s flushed out faces in the spoiler
are too keep as a precious memory.
They were win in all ways. A side of Tsubasa not seen since episode 1. Tsubasa’s
smile here was nice to see too.

About the end, in thee end with how the sequences go in the spoiler
Miku is jealous of Hibiki spending more time with someone else but more about feeling betrayed. It is more apparent as Miku finds out that Hibiki transforms. No choice there due to the car killing her if Hibiki did save her from it. Suffice to say the last shot shows just how bewildered she is at finding out. So how it will affect Hibiki x Miku? Can a Hibiki x Tsubasa be born suddenly? How will things play out is what I am looking forward to.

BTW Image Stitches have been done in the spoiler
some nice shots of Miku, Hibiki and Chris.


PS: BlankV = to Blank private part of the girl
BlankB = to Blank breasts. No details there.

Good episode,Miku finally find out about Hibiki secret,but it was that or saying hello to mister car,i also think they wont give a her a Symphogear she probably will stay on side lines and may be a target future on.

Not bad fanservice also that underwear didn't suit Hibiki at all,i prefere Miku ones also i like that scar ;)

It looks like Chris had a shitty past and she was saved by Ryoko and now as say last episode she is jealous of Hibiki.

Tsubasa sucks at cleaning,kinda cute also she seems that is getting more open to Hibiki :3

Hibiki finally find out the determination to fight and its interesting that she can absorb energy to make super punch!!

It ended interesting lets see Miku reaction and what happen to Chris next episode.

I'm still kind of undecided about this series, but the last two episodes are starting to make me feel better about it. I liked that there was more character development in this episode, though the fighting has also stepped up wonderfully. I'm reserving judgement, but this episode will keep me watching at least a few more.

Lol that^ i totally agree, but putting that aside, this episode is just as amazing as ever. I think this might be one of those series where it just keeps getting better and better despite a poor start, I am really starting to like this series alot. In this episode they revealed a lot of things, and also deepened the plot alot. Good stuff indeed, cant wait for the next, and i really want to know how hibiki dies now.

Oh btw, i dont think miku's gonna get a symphogear too..Chances are close to zero imo.

This show is just sooo bad :D
Hibiki's changes of mood, well Tsubasa has also this - but not on a such a scale
this of course could be trauma of seeing her room or some guilt over the cleaning issue

than of course fight - what was that ?

ok it's nice to see her trying to understand enemy and talk her out of it (quite Nanoha-like) but what was that suppose to give?! so first Hibiki sucked totally (in singing indeed she still is) and suddenly she is mega-super killing badass?!

so as I've said this episode was almost as awfull as rest of the series
and as rest of series I enjoyed it very much :)

Tsubasa's warming up to Hibiki happened a bit too quickly for me. What is making me so indecisive about the show is it's nonchalant characters and their illogical behavior at times. Every anime has that but this one more so then usual...

Wow. Tsubasa sure got a 180 degree change in personality. Was it because of her near-death experience? Everything feels incredibly artificial and forced, the characters, the plot, the songs...At least Miku found out about her cheating wife :D

At least now when her secret is out there will hopefully be a bit less melodrama between Hibiki and her friend, and we'll get more of those lovely bath scenes between them (^.^)

I'm a bit surprised She didn't enter berserk mode when her friend got hurt though, was kinda expecting than.

ha! another thought which I had - well from different place :)
now everything is open for Miku to get her Symphogear or whatever it is called

in first episode she mentioned (in the grave scene) that they were fighting together, so it is possible

and I think that Hibiki goes to berserk mode while facing an enemy and here it looked like her main concern is to save Miku, so going wild and Boom!-Boom! maight have been blocked by it

Glad to see Tsubasa and Hibiki getting along better. It seems to me Miku thinks Tsubasa and Hibiki are an item, which is no good since I ship Miku x Hibiki.

I'm also glad to see that Hibiki is learning and growing stronger. I sort of despise MC's who are weak and worthless.

Went back over that scene a few times but... well there wasn't any mention of that at all. She talked bout how Hibiki kept singing till the end even while coughing up blood. Started crying bout missing her. Then finished on a "my best friend kept singing" ...so... she wasn't including herself anywhere in there.

I dunno personally I think she'll never get a symphogear. Her relationship seems similar to Nanoha's school friends imo. Well... if she does it'd be after Hibiki dies I'd think.

Couple things. The glowing, naked Kanade made me roll my eyes. To be expect, I guess, but that doesn't make it any less silly. Don't know about you but I've never pictured someone who's dead in my head naked and glowing.

Was moving to the roof really necessary? It doesn't seem too odd as a viewer but look at how it would have been for the characters. Hibiki asks something, they pause, leave the room, walk all the way to the roof, and continue as if the question was just asked. Weird, just weird. I know the scene change was for effect but you know.

Again, the Hibiki fighting better thing. I don't see it. Sure, she's more determined but she seems to be fighting exactly the same as she always has. I guess I'm missing something but it's not rocket science, it's hand to hand combat. Punch, kick, block, dodge, repeat.

Well, despite all that I did like the episode a bit so it's fine.

Well Tsubasa finally changed into being friendly with Hibiki, can't say I was looking forward to this happening. It just happened so suddenly. Guess it was nice to see her giving her tips and see how she sucks at housework stuff lol.

Finallllyyy the secrets outta the bag now and Hibiki is caught red handed by Miku. Meh I am half interested into seeing where this will go. And wow Hibiki sure got strong in a hurry.

Hmmm I hope Chris will come out of all this fine and maybe even switch sides. Her past was just =/, felt bad for whats shes been through. Dno why but I somehow already like her character.

I had totally forgotten about why Hibiki punches the noise... She can't materialize her armed gear (spear) so she focuses that energy into her punch. It all makes sense now!

At least Hibiki won't have to keep her secret from Miku anymore.
