I really liked this episode and I'm super excited to see Ryuko take on the Elite 4. I don't see any way that she can win though.

I'm either predicting that she only beats Gamagorri and is too injured to continue or she beats 3 of them and is too injured to defeat Sanageyama. Either way, I don't think this will be the place where her and Sanageyama get to settle their score.

Ah, also I just realized that Naturals Election (Natural Selection) is a very interesting play on words....

When I caught that too I was like... heh very well played.

Did anyone else see Gamagoori's shadow as a phallus that gradually got more erect ..? As he was getting beaten on. lol

Oh, hes such a masochist.

Gamagoori's such a manly man.

Ryuko vs the Elite Four next week. I don't think she can win unless she suddenly attains a power-up.

Nice, though I think there may have been a few inconsistencies in the circumstances of Isshin's death.
My imagination maybe?

And I totally called it!
Gamagori is a good guy after all.
He gets the perfect chance to kill Ryuko, and is probably strong enough to do it, but instead he saves her and defends her and Mako for most of the ep.
I've thought since the No Late ep that he might actually be the nicest guy in the E4, certainly the least originally evil of them (I know Uzu was originally a punk, and Satsuki's always been girl-Hitler.)
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

Felt that the beginning was a little bit slow but enjoyable and we got to learn more about the characters' pasts. Towards the end they got me pretty hyped up for Matoi vs the elite four though.

Is it just me or does Mako and Gamagoori have some sort of weird chemistry going on? I think he likes her judging by the pajama speech episodes ago and their interaction this episode.

That was a hell of a buildup. I am eagerly awaiting the next episode.

Thoughts:
* I guess it only makes sense that the head of the Disciplinary Committee would have a gimp suit as his uniform.
* He should have shelled out a little bit extra for the car model that lets you drive from the hood.
* How do you torture a masochist? Simple: Don't hurt him. Ryuko is going to keep him on the edge of climax until bad things happen. And the fandom will get a liiiiiitle bit creepy.

DAMMIT!
NOW it ends on a cliffhanger!
I can't wait to see the big battle.

From what has been revealed of the story so far, I'm still thinking it's a bit too early in the series for a big battle like this.
If they're going to make this 25 episodes long, I'm hoping that Ryuuko will find out the truth about halfway through, and that will result in a huge plot twist that will bring us more fighting with new, even stronger opponents.

Hey man, if more shows had build up episodes where an entire club gets blown up in one attack, build up episodes would have a way better rep.

I still can't see how the flashback of Gamagoori's first time meeting Satsuki explains how he's a masochist.. Or else the flashback is out of place and should've been shown at some other point.. No xS ?


I think it has something to do with how what she did to those spoiled middle school kids is similar to what they did to that boy Gamagoori tried to protect. I could be reaching here, but he felt helpless to protect the boy. at the same time, he felt overwhelmed and possibly aroused by Satuski's power in that moment where she exercised both her privilege and power.

Yeah I expected Satsuki to punish him or something. :P


I think he thinks that getting beaten on and not crying is manly or something? Idk, because of that speech she made at the end about tears and how he keeps repeating how he wipes his own tears haha I have no clue

I was constantly reminded of SnK OST though lol, They're just that similar.

With all the backstories and likeable characters so far, along with how the story is going, I'm guessing these 6 (Ryuuko,Satsuki,Four Devas) will be the MCs for the upcoming 2nd half which should be a pleasant surprise according to the creator. Can't wait for it!

The car chase reminded me of Speed Racer & Death Race 2000.

Satsuki grabbed Gamagori's heart from early days. No wonder he is a staunch supporter of her. Satsuki reminds me of Rudolf von Goldenbaum.

Pretty intense episode especially at that ending scene, can't wait to see next weeks episode.

So Ryuko and Gamagoori have character backgrounds, felt bad for Ryuko's past when her father was murdered. Lol Gamagoori can withstand those bullets with a masochist body XD. That ending scene though, they will show no mercy when Fight Ryuko.

I am 99.9999 percent certain that the next four episodes will not be all about the fight against the Elite Four. Don't try to predict what Trigger will do.

Also I am so tempted to acknowledge the shitstorm going on in other threads but I must resist.

If there is one thing I did not expect: Gamagoori is a masochist and felt like I have revisted a anime by Gainax... Not sure except for the chills on my body. But hey... He got a sweet ride and he was kind enough (though on part of his student duties) to give the girls a ride.

Also I question his dynamic driving skills in a gun war.

Mako can I hug you, cutie? ;w;


Sure predictable (but I am here for entertainment), but now can Matoi can defeat a bondage BOMB? I mean.. Hurting him strengths his Goku Uniform... What tactics Ryuko will use.

I get the feeling that it won't be all as straightforward as beating the 4 and moving on to fight Satsuki.

I'm also getting a weird vibe that Satsuki and Matoi's family might be related in some deeper way and before the end they might fight together against some other force.

Your assumptions are bad and you should feel bad. This anime's been unpredictable from the get go, so I don't know what future you came from to say the next 4 episodes will be her vs the Elite 4. Hell, you're criticizing them for something they haven't even done lol

So, Satsuki has the resolve to wipe her own tears. How did I miss that in the last eight episodes -_-

Actually, kudos for Ira asking her how she is different from the other bullies, relying on their fathers' influence. Was dying to ask her the same, the answer, however, was pretty self-explanatory. Not so much with the battle royale she scheduled, and as if we don't know that Ryuuko will have to face the Elite Four one way or another.

On another note, does a child really need a "resolve", instead of a "right" to know who killed their father.

Mako-chan was perfect as usual ^_^
