MCAL said: How strange? First Coppelion comes out early (Not that I'm watching that crap), now its Kill la Kill. Yeah I was surprised to see Kill la Kill come out early too, just as I was yesterday with Coppelion (but I am watching that crap). Anyways, liked this episode, Sanageyama is a pretty cool character, I like how he was so determined after his failure that he sewed his eyes shut, which then his powers evolved. Awesome. Reminds me of Oedipus in a way but less gruesome. Also, mahou shounen? And seriously, that teacher never fails to crack me up, I love seeing him on the screen. |
| Homeroom teacher has the ultimate sex appeal. That immediate character development after a loss was rather nice. |
| I don't really care about the early releases as long as i can get to see it. Is it just me or does it look like Satsuki and Sanageyama have a thing going on for each other? |
 |
| That beginning scene with Mikisugi and Ryuko was funny. Sanageyama got a power up by sacrificing his sight. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| That "WE'RE NUDIST BEACH!" MOMENT HAHAHAHAHA I love the funny at the start XD XD |
| Decent episode cuz Mako was barely in it!! Glad they toned down on the jokes in this one |

Do we have to waste each other's time calling shows crap? I personally enjoy Coppelion, but regardless of how I feel about it, or if I'm watching it, this is a Kill La Kill episode thread. Can we all just talk about how sad we are that we barely got any Based Mako this episode and how happy we are to get more Based Mako next episode? |
 |
| Damn, I'm just loving Ryuuko and Senketsu's bonding this episode. Then, there's the action of course which was awesome as usual. Sanageyama FTW. |

I'm sorry I was only kidding because of what the OP said :P and I did talk about other things like how awesome Sanageyama was and how hilarious the teacher was (as always). Unfortunately I don't care too much for Mako. |
| Another great episode. Got rather serious at the end there with Ryuuko having to retreat like that. I really want to get the soundtrack to this show! |
 |
| Man, I need to get the OST as soon as it's released. |
 |
| I did really think it was a bit to soon for her to defeat one of the elite 4 Really good episode :D Wow alot of anime this season are getting 24-26 episode seasons glad this is one of them :D |

| What a cruel way to transform yourself after a defeat That teacher is the reincarnation of Dr Slump |
| We got a glimpse of Satuski's and her subordinates' past when they weren't as tarted up as in the present, as usual in 4:3 aspect ratio to highlight just how ancient the events in those flashbacks are. Sanageyama, a previous gang leader of the Kanto region is shown as the last to join Satsuki's ranks and seeminly the first out of the four to resign from this group until his shocking decision to show his resolve. His scenes with Satsuki especially after his second battle with Ryuuko are chock full of hints for potential conflicts among the student council members. Somewhere down the road there will be attempts to overthrow Satsuki coming from the four kings, mark my words! Could it be that Satuski decided to put on her "wedding dress" because she found her prospective "husband" (who even her mother, Mistress Ragyo seems to approve)? Senketsu's black texture would fit the aesthetics of a wedding suit and Satsuki has professed her desire for someone who could equal her in strength. I bet she just pretends knowing something about Ryuuko's father in order to keep her around her ^^ I probably sound like a broken record by now but the concept of clothing being the equivalent to power couldn't be more obvious than depicted in this episode. The all high-and mighty Sanageyama stripped to his birthday suit, exposed to the entire school, no wonder Satsuki didn't bother to grace him with her presence during the first fight, supposedly knowing about the outcome beforehand. Clothing elevates your status, boosts your confidence and makes you seemingly invulnerable but it is all to easy to just rip it off your body and to relegate you to a helpless, pathetic state. The soundtrack is godly btw, complementing both comedic and serious scenes perfectly, and easining up the different mood shifts. |

| this episode was definitely than the previous ones, since it got more serious and interesting. sanageyamas transformation scene was both funny and weird to watch. |
 |
| Great episode. I got a different vibe from this episode. I don't know if the art work changed or it was the amount of awesome. Anyway was not expecting to get a flash back so old that the damn screen ratio would reduce. Satsuki got some top notch followers. I mean dude sewed his eyes up for her. I don't how Ryuu is going to beat Uzu. Can't wait for next week. Dat OST! |
 |
| I like how skills matter a lot in the fights of KLK, not just the amount of life fiber your clothing has. Sanageyama did well to demonstrate this and Ryuuko definitely needs to improve herself. So we have the teacher as Kamina, and now Viral manifests himself as well in the form of Sanageyama! Bravo!! |
 |
| poor Matoi,, :( I hope she gets more powerful. >_< |
| I have a feeling this is going to go a little Gurren Lagann, where the flashbacks tease at Satsuki being the good guy, trying to get a grip on Japan and creating a strong and capable army to destroy the current world leaders (Aka chancellor Hitler's government) , through the use of the life fibers as weapons, and the school as a training academy for her future soldiers, I look forward to how this will all play out. Hell, after the last episode's creation of the "Mako is a lot stronger than she's hinting at" theory, she could be the Nia of this series, where she's secretly a spy for the true evil that leads the world, playing up the part of a weakling idiot. As for Sanageyama, like most people in this show, he was given an air of "typicalness", where he's your typical kendo club guy, but again, like most people in this show, he quickly proves himself to be a unique character in both personality and past experiences. Who knows what else will take place, on a side note, what's with the computer guy from the Elite 4 having a plug in his neck, does he think he's Keanu Reeves now? Finally, the people close to Satsuki talk about this "Stage" that she's setting, it was just revealed that Matoi's interference is getting in the way of that stage, now judging from what Satsuki has offered Sanageyama as a stage, aka a place where he can fight strong opponents (If this is true, and Matoi's getting in the way despite her strength, then it means she's after someone even more powerful), it's clear that this stage is a going to be a large scale battle against powerful opponents, if that's the case, then it's safe to assume that Satsuki's stage wasn't the school, nor the general oppression of the people living around it. It's my opinion that what I said earlier may play out, Satsuki may very well see herself as the good guy here, trying to create an environment where only the strong will thrive, so that she can have an army of extremely above par warriors to take on a much larger force, the only larger force we assume still exists in this world is the one ruling it, the one talked about very early on, Chancellor Hitler's forces, or at the very least, the higher ups of the Kiryuuin family. |

| WE'RE NUDIST BEACH |
| It is so dense. Every single image has so many things going on. |
| Ah, first peek at the real power of the Elite Four. The first fight was entertaining, but oh man, Ryuko got destroyed after Sanageyama got his eyes sewed shut. I wonder how she's gonna come back after losing like that. Can't wait to see more of the Elite Four in action. This episode was pretty good. I love the song that played after Satsuki spoke to Mistress Ragyo. They need to release the OST for this series already. |
| He sewed his eyes shut so he could truly see everything. beautiful episode |
| Fantastic episode! The relation with comedy and action are really good. Anime is saved xP |
| Nipple glow o.O What funky yet cool music when Satsuki was called. He definitely proved his worth in that second fight. Mako might be getting her own ep next time :D |
| Getting more interesting every week |
| Good ep. Finally we see a 3 star in action. Sageyama is BA! He looks awesome with the new eye mask. Sewing his eyes for his loss totally makes him deserve respect. Lol'd at the Nudist Beach part XD And Dem shining nipples XD Loved the OST when Satsuki's mom called. Ryuuko still has quite a long way to go to master Senketsu it seems. Getting her ass handed to her by a 3 star. Nxt ep...Mako ep? |
 |
| Weird episode,well all episodes until now were the same. |
 |
| Am I the only one who noticed mako measuring sanegayama's member when Matoi beat him |
 |
| Damn, I felt chills when we got to see a glance of Satsuki's Mother and her building for a second there. That song,that foreshadowing. Things are gonna get WAY bigger from here on! |
| "Evidently... There's no such thing as 'meaning' in this world. But that in itself is wonderful... isn't it? Since if there isn't a set meaning, then you can just find one on your own." - Filicia Heideman, So Ra No Wo To |
| I really enjoyed this episode. Great OST and Sanageyama is by far the most interesting of the Elite Four characters and I get the feeling that at some point he might have a falling out with Satsuki. Him sewing his eyes shut was a classic samurai movie move. To top it off, Mako didn't have a central role which is a good thing IMO. She's best in small doses. I find the teacher much funnier: NUDIST BEACH! |

| By sewing his eyes he could see the world. Intense episode, loved the OST when Satsuki's mother was introduced. The Elite Four are still beasts in terms of power and Sanegayama proved that. |

| Powerful eyebrows. |
| Awesome episode. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| That was brilliant.Finally the atmosphere is becoming more serious, thats exactly what i was waiting for. OST.I need to get OST right now. |
 |
| Decent episode finally, perhaps it was the action, soundtrack or having some background of characters... nope it was lack of Mako and her "explanations" |

That honestly sounds plausible :P Never know when it might make a complete 180 in terms of story. |
| Great episode. Lol @ glowing nipples. Love the character of Sanageyama and how he's developed over one episode. Now that the man is blind, he can now truly see. |

| This episode was amazing |
| Okay, some random guy's post made me want to see SanageyamaxSatsuki, god damn it now I can't stop thinking about it! This episode was incredible, hopefully Trigger will keep their promise of making the elite 4 last much more than those of TTGL. |

| Wow, amazing episode. That ost. I can't stop listening to it. Hiroyuki Sawano is truly a god |
| .. |
| This show has an awesome ost. That teacher is also hilarious. |
| Yea |
