I thought Glittering Crux was going to gang rape Mizuno.
I thought Takuto would finally lose and Sugata would save him, but Tauburn looks even more FABULOUS than ever; didn't expect Head to lose that fast; I'm guessing he'll come back with an upgraded cybody. It sucks that Mizuno is leaving.

MARINO FUCK YEAH!
I came when Takuto was naked.

Never expected that the head is a Ginga Bishounen as well and has a blue Tauban D:
Takuto-kun's sign on his chest evolved and Tauban's appearance changed! wow

Nobody can stop me saying that this episode is the best of the whole serie...! s one was very complete i'm just quite astonished! But seeing the preview, I feel that Star Driver goes back to the way it was at first with just a fight with a cybody by eps ... I hope am wrong.

The episode was really awesome, but damn I wished that Takuto would lose, but well this is a shounen so that was expected.
Since the next episode seems to be about Vanishing Age, I hope it will tell more about the Head and his intentions, because somehow to think that they only want that the cybodies would be used in real world somehow seems kinda off.
And also Benio surprised said that Head has a real mark(well she kinda asked it in a question, but it seems that yes), well then it's just a speculation, but from her surprise it seems that ppl with the real marks can apprivoise without that device so that would mean that Sugata or even the maidens are capable of it.
Although the Head himself said to Sugata something like he is a soldier, those girls are maidens and Sugata is a king, so maybe only warrios with real marks can do that.
Either way there still quite many questions need to be answered :D

Let see
Takuto past was nice since we got to see where his great personality came from
Tauburn upgrade looks very nice, fabulous as always.
Marino and Mizuno leaving the island was pretty sad.

There was a good amount of developments in this episode even if I'm not sure it was really that interesting. Mizuno/marino leaving the island will be a huge blow to the show though.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I almost thought that Takuto was going to lose. But then he powered up, and everythingw as okay. Aside from that, I thought the fight was pretty good this week, and it was nice to get the story behind Takuto. Kind of weird when I heard someone else say "It's a chance!" though.
Pretty good, the Mizuno arc. Nice and happy ending, though everyone seems to leave the island right after their seals are broken. What happened to the play?

And suddenly, both Marino and Mizuno leaves, god damn it.
First Sakana-chan leaves, and now these two. D:
Soon there won't be anyone left except Wako, oh what a horrible end that would make.

I don't get it. Is Marino only an illusion of Mizuno or does she really exist? Or does Mizuno create her through her powers so everyone could see her??
Either way great episode. Can't wait for the next one ^^

It is revealed that Marino is actually an illusion of some sort or probably like a clone created by Mizuno out of her despair after being abandoned by her mother. After Mizuno's seal is broken, she leaves the island with her.

This was an amazing episode. just when i thought takuto was going to lose he levels up and his mark turns red.
also i didnt expect marino to be an illusion. i thought sugata would come in and save the day but nothing like that.
next episode is going to tell us more about vanishing age and who the head really is. (hopefully)

Well it was ok. Sad to see Mizuno and Marino go. I guess now the Kiraboshi will try to break Wako's seal since she's the only maiden left. I was expecting Takuto to lose at least this time, but I guess he will never lose. I liked his past since now I know more about him and why he came to the island.

After last week's developments and all of the spec/theories here, nothing came as a surprise in this episode...though I thought there was a chance that Takuto might finally lose. Still, the episode was really well done. They poured some decent amount into the fight and the subtle upgrades were nice. Also enjoyed the glimpse into Takuto's past and his pre-fab days. Very sad to see both Mizuno and Marino go, but happy that Marino didn't disappear for good.

I came when Takuto was naked.

My thoughts exactly! And my, my, my, Takuto is fabulous naked!
I hope that's not the last we see of Mizuno.

Wow. Best episode yet. This show really is getting better during its second half.

East Maiden (Keito/Ivrogne) is still left, although I'm surprised her seal hasn't been broken yet (especially when Head knows, too). Probably saving her for last since she's willing to break it, therefore saving them a lot of trouble.

just when I thought "oh sweet jesus, takuto is finally getting his shit slapped", he goes into plot mode...evolves to phase 4, and fucking rapes the one guy I actually liked in the whole glittering crux (on the male side ofc)

damn you, plot!

I think that Keito had it broken since the start especially since she and Head seem to be the antagonists. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so since they reached third phase and thinking that fourth phase is the last phase.

Ugh, I know! I might actually cry if that's the ending. :/

Keito's seal hasn't been broken yet. This episode Head clearly breaks Mizuno's seal and Wako says that there are two more seals left. Hers and Keito's.
Which brings us right back to why the hell haven't they broken Keito's seal yet?! They made my Mizuno leave for this stupid third phase. >.<

Okay... so, echoing everyone else's sentiments: This was a good episode. In fact, it was almost as good as last week's. Unfortunately, it seems next week's will suck. What else is new?

This is the second time I thought Takuto might actually lose a fight, the first time being when he fought Ayingott. This battle was better than Ayingott's, though. I was kind of hoping for some mid-battle revelation on what Head's relation to Takuto is, but the flashback of his past was a nice replacement. It would be so much better if Takuto actually lost a fight once in a while though, you know? And not only that, but it would be nice if Sugata did some fighting as well. Having Takuto be our only hero is just so lame and (to use a word everyone else seems to like) not fabulous.

So now I can't help but wonder how much better this show would have been if it was only 12-13 episodes instead of 25.

Episode got srs'd. I'm a little confused about Marino being an illusion or clone but nevermind.

Also, I know that this is so overused in this anime but damn, that battle finish was fabulous.

I like the twins and now they are gone... oh well, at least there are new girls next episode and the crux bitches are still there.

P.S. Senjou no Valkyria 3 commercial looks badass. Going to my to watch list.

I also don't like Mizuno leaving. so Takuto wasn't really interested in her? she got captured and attacked and then is just free just like that? also Head finally provides a decent fight kicking Takuto's ass for a while and then just loses out of nowhere like all the other fights. are none of the enemies actually competent?

Marino is a fake? interesting but doesn't matter now I guess. I wish Sugata would do something already. I still think he'll end up fighting Takuto later as the glittering crux have all lost to him now.

a better episode but still wtf?
