Now I get AUZA's game.

The AUZA CEO wants full control of the country's energy system through Yamaji's secret group. Emma, with Higan's help, aims to thwart their plan and plans to leave AUZA City. After a successful escape, Emma suggests heading to a power plant to recharge his Gusoku Gear. Meanwhile, Jason and Mike remain on the run, evading capture. Mike convinces Jason to assist him, promising protection in return. Jason agrees but insists he needs a computer to help. As they search for a computer, Higan and Emma infiltrate the power plant, only to find one of Yamaji's henchmen waiting for them.

It's funny how Emma's idea of hiding is making her truck stand out. And why does everyone keep shooting when it doesn't work? Anyway, the fight in this episode was much better than last time. Kinda miss the human action, but the mechs are cool. The Gusoku Gear didn't have much power, but at least the other guy has honor... why though? Nice to see Mike again and learn some backstory. Surprisingly sweet. Can't anyone in this show have a happy story? Higan lost his family, Emma lost her friend, and now Mike's lost his daughter. Sheesh.

The whole gang has now reunited and is working together to defeat AUZA once and for all.

Higan needs to improve himself in fighting other ninja's with the suit. This episode was a nice character's bonding episode, that's all.

Some more cool mech action in this episode that looked better than in previous episodes. The plot also thickens with more of AUZA's plans being revealed.

Finally Emma and Higan are reunited with Mike. It was nice to see a little bit of past bonding between Mike and Emma, but Mike should work on his singing skills lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Let’s be honest, we signed to watch Ninja fights…

I love mecha but they did a bad choice to bring that here after the 2-3 great episodes…

I need more revenge mode, more blood…

What happened to this anime? I feel like there was a lot of talking in this episode but nothing important was really said. The mech fights aren't great, and we even got a deus ex machina of the enemy leaving Higan and Emma alive 'just because'. Did we really need Mike singing karaoke and a buddy cop montage? I'm very confused by what this anime is attempting to accomplish.

@deg Personally I think Emma and Higan will def not happen lol. Emma is with Higan solely for her "master", not any other attachment. They've def bonded tho

bro if only they didn't include this mecha robot fight shit... what people (I'm people) like about ninjas are the insane things they can do with their human body by using discipline to surpass physical limits... even if it pushes into supernatural territory. that's ok. what I want to see in an action anime are blood, guts, sweat, and tears y'all

Damn y’all really hate when something is different and there were nice animated moments in this episode like how the camera was going all 360° around Emma during the fight with that black dude I can understand why some of y’all don’t like the mechs but mechs are cool just look at code geass for example. Some of y’all really got that tiktok brain bc how y’all forgetting bro can’t exact his revenge bc the ppl he’s tryna fight are strong as shit I mean we saw it in episode 6 when bro got jumped😭🤦🏽‍♂️😭

Gosh, the first few episode were so great. The fights were amazing. But now these battle cyborg suits look so weird and the fights are boring. Sad the overall quality dropped so much. But its still not bad. ED is wonderful.

Show has lost the appeal it had for me in the beginning. I'm sticking around because I don't downright hate it, but it is disappointing. I actually like mechs/armored suits etc, but this kind of feels like a bait and switch. I really enjoyed seeing Higan do superhuman stuff, but now he's doing some basic robot combat in a suit and the action feels cheapened. Not to mention the suit/mech designs are kind of ass. That fight with the glowing neon centipedes.... Eeeeww, why? Why do they glow? Isn't that antithetical to the whole ninja stuff? I get that the suit enhances their powers to where maybe they believe their invulnerable, but it still feels kind of dumb for ninjas advertise their presence with glowing LEDs?

@poemofdevil I agree wholeheartedly, absolutely adored the show at the beginning but has been getting worse ever since. I'm sticking around since it's not terrible, but like you said I'm just a little disappointed to see it already lost its magic.

Eh quite ok episode. But also disappointing. Why do I enjoy series in the beginning only for it to become bad like this. Why mecha ninjas or whatever they are? Why couldn't they be normal. Currently only watching this thanks to Tsuda :) also the reason why I started this.

Ok hear me out - this episode made me finally drop this hot garbage anime.
I tolerated the poor clichéd AI script, I tolerated the way too fast pace, I tolerated the AI dialogues...

But I will not tolerate a mecha ninja that will just go "TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA" while he throws kicks at his opponent:
https://youtu.be/1ly45LdcegU?si=zk0pPQ2TmY-Bb2wE&t=54
followed by "RATA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA":
https://youtu.be/1ly45LdcegU?si=WrXVLBNUbBhAWt_I&t=103

I will not tolerate that cringe English karaoke scene.

Enough is enough, this anime isn't serious, yet it takes itself extremely serious.

Let's be honest here, the fights were way better when it was just ninja's, not robots. The animation, pacing, choreography all took a dip when the ninjas started fighting with technology. It's still a good episode and anime overall though.
