Her mother Youko comes late from work, so in her place Minamo prepares dinner for her family.


Seems like her younger brother Riku also watches Alicepia videos. In particular, he loves watching Princess Ripple, whom he calls “blue-like person” (水色っぽい人). He is of course referring to the hair color. While trying to contain her embarrassment, Minamo tells Riku that diner is getting cold.





Not long after, Minamo learns from her mother that she also used to go to Alicepia back when she was a kid. Back then, girls like herself had to visit what became known as a “haunted house”. There were rumors that girls who went inside this abandoned house would disappear. Turns out that this abandoned house was actually a portal to Alicepia!

Alicepia was a very special place. It was always there for you and would always welcome you. And because of that, you’d want to protect this place, says Youko. ...wait, could Youko have been a princess when she was around Minamo’s age?



Minamo sneaks out and visits Alicepia one last time before going to bed. There, Callisto was awaiting her. But, there are no monsters around?


“I’ve been observing you all this time. You’re very interesting and mysterious.”
“Indeed. At first glance, you look unassuming. But in reality you’re always at the center among the princesses. When you girls choose to do something, you are even entrusted by the others with making the final decision, it seems.



“That’s not true” (Minamo’s reaction here is just too cute!)


“It is. Your words have the power to make people want to entrust you. The power of giving people the courage they need.”




“And then I realized that your personality of cheering on others even increases their myu-power.”


“What are you trying to say?”


“I’ll go straight to the point. Sorano Minamo, I want you. Won’t you be mine?





But he only wants to use her to be able to collect even more myu-power.


“You guys only think about stealing myu-power from girls?”
For a brief moment, Minamo’s defiant look reminds Callisto of someone else.

“Unfortunately that’s right. We only have that (option left).”




Callisto traps Princess Ripple and asks if she would be able to stop him all by herself, but rather than being discouraged, she just says “I just need to get stronger then”, and unlocks her new power and finishing move - Ripple・Hammer Splash!
You can also see her new finishing move on Youtube:




Just like Callisto imagined, they can’t stop Princesses from getting stronger, and at this point, it would be difficult to steal their myu-power using Jamaock. They have to try and steal the energy themselves. We also get a better look at the Red Queen.

@FreshCrystals I watch it on TVer, which is a Japanese streaming service. If you need subs, you'll have to wait until the fansubs become available.

@nyugvo6 MAL has this show rated PG-13, even though it's not. It's a children's show so it will never be like Symphogear. But as a magical girl show, it's one of the better ones I've watched.

The tension in this episode was crazy. I'm still confused whether the villains want the princesses to power up or not. It looks like Calysto was trying to trigger the evolution more than anything. Either way, this was a fantastic episode.

@nyugvo6 I'm behind 3 episodes but some interesting things has happening, and now all the girls received their upgrades (next episode looks good too). And as much I love Symphogear, to fully enjoy this one is better not compare both shows

A very good chapter, seeing Minamo's evolution has been spectacular, now Band Snach will be more active and their leader will appear more on screen. :)

was late to post, because I was waiting for Waku Tomote subs to release a few eps.

unexpected reveal that Minamo's mom also went to Alicepia.

another unexpected thing is her mother went there using a house? There must be a gate of some sort inside that house. Maybe there would be an episode where Minamo and friends would visit that place?

A bit of world building, Alicepia has been around for a really long time, but newer generations have it way easier to go there, the 3 girls got their song power up, all of them really good and catchy songs, it was super funny when Riku got all serious when their dad asked him who was his favorite haha, that's something you can't ask dude, it is like asking a parent who is their favorite child.
