Marika and the Bentemaru were able to escape from the pirate hunters. They get to the pirate's nest and must make repairs while they are waiting for the other pirates to arrive. Marika runs into the pirate hunter captain and she basically tells her nothing and then leaves. Meanwhile, Misa is taking care of android Luca and apparently there is an android Kane who has infiltrated the crew. At the end we see that Ririka is with the masked pirate captain. Oh, and Coorie is sure hot when she takes her glasses off.

Pretty surprising cliff-hanger Ririka working for the Galactic Pirate tho with her experience it's a good place for her to work at.
Tho i doubt that guy is Marika's father tho.

Coorie looked very good dressed like that it's a shame she doesn't dress like that more often.

Luca being replaced by a android came as a surprise and i wonder what happened to the real Luca will we ever see her again.
It also seems that Kane has a dubbed walking around and he appears to be aware of it.
And the enemy captain has taken a interest in Marika since she is the only one to escape her.

EPIC fight during the beginning!!

Coorie! Wow. Though I knew it was her the instant I saw the blond hair. I honestly prefer her the normal way, sorry Kane. The Otaku look ftw. :3

This just a took a big turn towards Ghost in the Shell. o.o
Stealth + androids??

And two Kanes??

And Ririka on the guy's ship??

I love this episode!! This series ends in 2 episodes. D:

Nice one :)
first of all Coorie while not looking, as she usually does - what a waste indeed
but moment when she changed her voice was creepy

plus somehow predictable that Ririka is working with Ironbeard and "probably" Kane also
I don't know about rest of the crew but they may know something but are not involved

and those androids - I don't know, I like idea of having a spy there but this is somehow used a lot
I hope they will make good use of double Kane thing, and that "second one" won't fail because of his hairs :P that would be... weird let's say
still resemblance to Guild from Last Exile is visible, especially in how enemy captain thinks of others

that diagram - she doesn't need to know calculation, technical details and such - people who will assemble it need to
and that portrait is cute :)

Nice episode. And Marika showed that lady dog one of her nice tactics. If you cannot win, at least make sure you don't lose :)

Coorie in this episode came out of nowhere. I was always asking myself "who is that hottie? And she's on the Bentenmaru? Dang, who could that be..."

And the she changed her voice back to normal and I was like EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?

Then I rewound the scene and watched it again and I was still like EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?

You had me fooled there, Coorie. Well played.

And I'm hyped for next week's episode now :) wanna seeeeeeeee~

We don't know that yet. All we know right now is

  • Luca had been replaced by a droid double that WAS a spy (and we don't know where the real Luca is),
  • Kane has a droid double he appears to be using to cover for him. We don't know yet why he is doing that.

So close to the end and it's so awesome now, great episode. Coorie turned out to be hot, could see it coming due to those glasses, still was creepy when she changed to her usual voice when screen centered on her face.
I wonder what Kayne is plotting, with this android of himself there. I knew something wasn't right the moment his android's hair jumped up like that after escaping Grand Cross. They did a good job making me thing it was Luca finding out a spy.

Also, masked captain is pretty much confimed for Marika's father, with Ririka being on his shit, let's not assume it's him just with this though. I wonder what's up with him kneeling befroe Grand Cross' captain in the preview.

Good enough to raise my ranking back up after a downgrade during mid-series. It would have been nice to have complications and mysteries during the middle of the season, as it is now this might be a rushed ending.

Fight at the beginning was incredible. Except for that I don't understand how it ended. Why would the Grand Cross, a super advanced experimental warship capable of ridiculous agility, firepower, and seemingly impervious defenses, just shutdown after the Bentenmaru slips right past it. The Grand Cross could have simply just turned around, or zigged zagged and PEW PEW PEW away. But no, it just goes to sleep.

I think it's high-speed moving is one-shot thing. If it fails the ship need to recharge before repeating it. Probably Marika just understood this and choose the right moment so they'd have time to jump.

Luca being replaced by an android was certainly an interesting twist. Coorie's new look, the thing with Kane and Ririka's meddling are spicing up this arc as well. (Too bad that the previous arcs weren't this gripping...)

I don't think it's a "new" look. It's one she doesn't like to be in. She seems very comfortable in her pjs and geek glasses. I'm surprised she hadn't become a fatty with all the snack food she eats while working. Must be her metabolism. ;)
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Co-Co-Coorie????!!
Couldn't really believe it at first XD I would have never guessed that was she in the beginning!

For a moment I thought that Misa would shoot Kane! Instead of him, she shot a Luca android XD But Kane is yet to reveal what he's hiding. I saw a Kane android too!!!! Who's the real one?? -.-''
Next episode we'll see some more pirates!

Wow, interesting developments!

Very surprised to see Coorie looking like that, unbelievable. Didn't expect Luca to be the spy and Kane's still suspicious.

What a twist with Ririka being on the same ship as the masked captain! It's getting hot towards the finale!

I thought that was Kane's twin brother and it was all a set up to get Luca to reveal herself.

Didn't realise that was coorie until i read it here though!!!

Given how Marika keeps running into high ranked people is there any chance the captain of the Grand Cross is someone in the Imperial family of the Empire?

It could be all of this is to reestablish the pirates and the field test is just a ploy intended to get them mobilised?

When I first saw the episode where both ships were introduced I assumed Ironbeard was going to secure command of the pirates and the Grand Cross is just another ship in his fleet so they would get control over this sector's pirates, next episode should explain a lot of things!

It is always interesting and exciting to see what Marika is going to with the crazy situation in front of her.

And this show needs like 26 more episodes. I hope more seasons are coming after this one ended.

So, the Grand Cross is testing out its abilities using pirate ships since they aren't of importance anyway, being reduced to mere entertainers at this time. Of course, Marika won't put up with this.

Sorry pressed the wrong button, finally got back and got the right button this time!!!

She took one look and remembering everyone at the pirate nest tends towards archaic dress or casual and realised that the woman she was looking at obviously wasn't aware that nobody aboard would be able to afford that much high class gear and given the sparkling effect that left only the possibility she wasn't a pirate after that it became obvious.
Still Marika being Marika caught the Grand Cross girl off guard didn't she?!

Still leaves the question about how she got aboard doesn't it?

Did she tag along with the Benten or another ship to get aboard the pirate nest or has she got transporter tech to fall back on?

Obviously next time Marika is going to demonstrate what happens when you cross her after scratching the paint work on her inherited pirate ship!

I suspect she'll catch it in a crossfire making sure to coordinate her pirate fleets' efforts so the Grand Cross can't take them out one by one eventually forcing it to go after her and THEN she'll catch it in a trap maybe drop a few mines or something that'll impair its gravity field assisted flight perhaps laid out in advance and by that I mean they don't activate unless something that messes with gravity fields comes into range...

But that would be a little too nasty so she'll probably have cooked up something else!

What the hell has Coorie been hiding from us!? Holy smokes... I couldn't believe my eyes.

This episode was great, there sure was a lot of things I didn't see coming. I wonder when Luca was replaced by that android and where the real one is. And just what is Kane up to? I am assuming its got something to do with that galactic pirate. And oooh Ririka just got on that ship and they're heading to the pirates nest.

Given they were held in isolation after getting infected would make an ideal time to make the switch since otherwise they would have discovered Luca was an android then and there.

A strong episode with some great and intense moments. Favorite scenes: Coorie in "disguise" she is hawt; Chiaki-chan embarrassed by her dad (Hanazawa Kana angrily shouting was so worth it). Ririka on the unknown guy's ship? It seems so obvious that it is Marika's father that the real twist would be if he turned out to be a completely irrelevant person. Kane and Luca...I wonder how this will turn out...

Quite a setup for the last episodes, I hope it delivers because at some times this show raised my expectations, but failed to deliver. I'm hoping for the best. 5/5.

First reaction, Coorie....did not see that coming.

Second, Luca was a spy. For how long and where is the real Luca?!

Third, Ririka is working on Ironbeard's ship?!?! Guess that's confirmation that its her father.

Fourth, there are 2 Kane's? Wait....the gym teacher...oh crap he's a twin.

Definitely Marika's best episode :)

She really has become an amazing captain in such a short time.

The way she handles all these decisions, patience as well as the strategic thinking.

She really is the daughter of Ririka :D

I just wish she calls Ririka her mother(Okaasan). It just feels weird how Marika keeps calling her mother directly by name.

Coorie being sexy as hell as well as knowing her computer skills? Perfect combination ^^

Also this Luca was fake!?! And its actually an Adroid??

Ririka is with her husband? The mask guy :P

Oh wow, so Ririka is in cahoots with the captain of the Parabella, the captain of the Grand Cross is revealed, Luca has been an android spy, and there's a fake Kane?? Geez o.o

I was jokingly making a conspiracy like “Yo Kane looks kinda sus, but imagine if Luca who's following him is actually the spy LOL” without really believing it, but then low and behold... xD

The pirate hunter is wrong they're not really pirates. Their raid for just a show and they even dress up for it. At best they act as escorts/guards for other ships and half the galaxy hasn't even heard of them. Marika had no clue about them.
