| Just holy fuck, how could they top the last episode but they did, so much good stuff and even more hyped for the next one. |
| Wow so awesome all actions and awesomeness The First time i saw the picture of kill la kill on anichart i was like Are they sisters and when i watch kill la kill i thought they weren't but now after i watch ep 18 they really are sister my first thought was Right |
Kyzen said: this is what you call epic to madhouse who's animating HXH please make an episode at least even 1/4 of this episode epicness. definetly 1000/1000 What did you even just say? Have you even seen the latest HxH episode? OT; I'm awaiting for them both to combine the scissors and cut off her head entirely, AND EMBRACE WHILE RAGYO'S BLOOD RAINS DOWN ONCE MORE. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Epic and Awesome. |
| That ending :O So saw that coming, the moment where it showed the baby dying |
 |
| So stupid. It's getting even worse now with that ugly Ragyo wearing the Kamui. Disgusting. |
 |
| At the end of this episode, when Ragyou said that last line, I jumped and shouted. Holy hell. I thought the last episode was gruesome and mindfuck already. But then this episode was more gruesome and had even way more mindfuck. OMG RYUUKO AND SATSUKI!!! Kill la Kill threw in something like a Star Wars there, with Ragyou going like, "Ryuuko, you are my daughter." This episode... just... I... wow. |
 |
| I have never had this many goosebumps watching an anime. KLK's author is a genius. Ryouko's fighting scene was truly amazing and the freakin heart at the end holy crap (mom) |
| ok my body wasn't ready for the twist this early |
 |
| Awesome as always! Ragyo getting her game on, and giving Satsuki the discipline that every child should receive. Don't mess with the ****ing mother rainbow!!! |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| That was insane! What a way to go, excellent story, keep it up! 6 episodes left, 1/4 of the season remains, let's gooooooo! |
| I actually called it back then at episode 2 or 3 that Satsuki and Ryuko are sisters. Didn't expect it to be true at this point. |
| Literally speechless. Amazing episode, 10/10. I was guessing Satsuki and Ryuko were sisters but that last scene was still shocking to me. Never would have guessed Ryuko had life fibers in her. The soundtrack was great, (as always) too. Thund3r1 said: Agree 1000%pakoko said: BRSxIgnition said: pakoko said: I feel like it just symbolized that whatever makes her special helped her break free from the Ragyo's control.Lol just when you thought the last plot twist would be the only twist, Kill la Kill sucker punches me with another one this episode. Amazing. So I'm guessing Ryuko's hair cuts through the life fibers in her brain because she herself is made up of life fiber parts? I don't know whether I should take seriously the fact that the red part of Ryuko's hair was not accessory but actually useful for something. It's been speculated that she has life fibers inside her, or something to that effect - this episode seems to have reaffirmed that. Ah I see, yeah this anime is full of ridiculous animations that I never know which to take seriously. I actually think you are right. Consider this: - Life fibers are usually represented as being red. -Ryuko has fused with life fibers. -Ragyo also fused with life fibers has shining multicolored strands of hair mixed in with the rest of her hair. I'm pretty sure that red strand of Ryuko's hair is the result of her fusion with life fibers and is fully capable of doing that impromptu brain surgery. |
Kougeru said: People really found that surprising? Just like last week, I felt it was a REALLY obvious "twist". Last week's reveal was obvious to me from the start because someone as smart as Satsuki kept letting Ryuuko live, even helped her when Nui was about to kill her. She had no logical reason to let Ryuuko live the first time they fought, yet she did. I knew then she was a "Good Guy" and would betray the real villain. What hinted me about this week's reveal about them being sisters, was that somehow..only the two of them were able to use Kamui Robes. Why? What logic is there for that? Experiemnts carried out on them was the reason given. They said Ryuuko's dad use to work for them and used their/his research to create her Kamui and all that but I still didn't make complete sense as to how some random scientist was able to create something that only that family could possibly have and make it work with a "Normal" girl, his daughter. When they explained that, I said to myself "she's probably Satsuki's long lost sister or some crap like that". My list is not complete but I'm actually over 1000+ anime so maybe that's why it was so obvious to me. I've seen this formula so many times. It's tried and true, but predictable. You may have seen me on other websites talking about how this show is overrated for how predictable it is, but I do enjoy the show. It's a good show, just not the best ever like a lot of people make it out to be. It's slightly above average due to it's predictability. It's characters are it's strongest asset. Due to it's predictability, I gave this episode a 3. I'm glad I was proven correct two weeks in a row now. Now I'm excited to see Ryuuko's true power unleashed when she gets the other half of the scissors. And here we have the problem of "predictability", implying that just because you saw something coming, or that the show even made it obvious that it was coming, is a bad thing. You always have to consider the method in which it was pulled off, and has someone who has had a lot of his predictions come true, I am thoroughly satisfied. From the moment Ragyo was introduced, someone who is very experienced would have known that Satsuki would turn on her, but that is in no way a bad thing. In fact, the way in which it was pulled off was great and easily as satisfying as if it was un-hinted at at all. Also, Satsuki was never able to use Junketsu as well as Ryuko. So even though one could predict that they were sisters, it wasn't just because Satsuki forced her usage of Junketsu. So in the end, saying you saw something coming doesn't affect the quality of the way in which it was pulled off, and Trigger did a fantastic job of that once again. You also have to consider tit for tat. You sure as hell can't say you predicted Ryuko's real dad was Sourichi, so that was another good reveal. I'd also be hard-pressed to believe someone who says they predicted that Ryuko and Satsuki would be revealed to be sisters by Ragyo attempting to control Ryuko. Once again, the method in which something is revealed may be far more important than the reveal itself. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| so honnouji was created to rebel against satsuki's mother, whom she secretly hated for years, and now ryouko is her sister. DEM SOME CRAZY TWISTS |

| Holy Shit, that was real real intense. AND!!!!! My theory was proven right. They are Sisters indeed (albeit not on the way I imagined but regardless). HAHA it always feels so nice when your theories hit bullseye. |
 |
| 12/10 That's all I can say. Just... Intense! And Awesome! |
| Subs at last. Well, you could get gist of it without them, but it's nice to have them all the same. And damn things are bad. Looks like the 4 Deva and Nudist beach are going to have to step up next ep. |
| 3/4 of an series that is boring and the 1/4 is somewhat interesting. But not I'm really shocked about the story. I'm rather 'shocked' about the fact that 3/4 of the Anime was more filler then plot. |
| When is Satsuki getting a power up it's pathetic and ryuko cutting and pulling out the thread around her brain was sick. |
 |
| I understand scores on MAL can largely not be trusted, but how is KILL la KILL still only at 8.05 after this? This episode was only worth a .01+ in score? REALLY? |

| ^@Marian11 True, opinions will always be different. It's just that, looking at the ratings for this episode, and how many 5's it's getting, I kinda expected a bit more of a jump in score. ^@Ulquiorra1923 Bait all you want, I ain't biting. |

This episode was only worth a .01+ in score? REALLY? the score will change probably drastically as many of the people who dropped early will have their score nulified as well as non voters adding their scores in after the fact, every single person on my friends list is watching this series with 1 drop 1 on hold and only 4 of us including myself actually has a score given to it, about 9 scores not added as a result, this si why bitching about score being low or high while ongoing is redundant the series will likley be around a 8.10-8.25ish by the time it ends which if you see as bad you are dead wrong |

The last 3 episodes have been way above average, and I expected the score to increase, that's all.I wasn't expecting a huge jump, JizzyHitler. I was just expecting a little bit of an increase. Also, I fully understand that people will sometimes pick it back up, drop it, or finish then rate it - that's totally fine. I'm very interested in what this show will finish at. Either way, I apologize for bringing up the score - I see now I shouldn't do that. Let's just enjoy the ride. |

BRSxIgnition said: sorry if i came off a bit aggressiveAlso, I fully understand that people will sometimes pick it back up, drop it, or finish then rate it - that's totally fine. I'm very interested in what this show will finish at. i dont know where the series will end up at, but i doubt its gonna jump much even by the series end since those usually only happen to shows in the mid to low 7's, looking at the score distribution the series that looks nearly identical is gossick, though gossick has more 10's than kill la kill has by a lot and a ton less below 5's, gossick at roughly the same length as klk is at a 8.28 so id expect slightly less than that due to the lack of 10's if hypothetically somehow the score isnt affected much by the late score givers |

| That was a good episode, but an awful twist. I really wish they didn't do that. |
| Oh what the... I have no words that can express how I feel right now... just wow. |
| Studio Trigger may have started out really,really rough with this anime and honestly I have been extremely surprised by the consistency of the episodes recently. I mean this is probably the most I've enjoyed an action anime in a long time. |

| Thanks for the chart, JH. I see how they're shaped right now - but Gosick (Gothic) was a show that got a jump in score from a lot of people with its final 2 episodes, which were rather emotional and well done. (Considering they had to cram a few volumes of manga into 2 episodes.) Gosick has also been out far longer than KILL la KILL - so it's had longer for its score to settle into what it is now. More peple have been able to pick it up on recomendation, and now the number of people watching it has slowed/stopped. KILL la KILL on the other hand is still very active, and judging from what TRIGGER has stated on the core of the series, we should expect even more plot developments and impressive visuals in this second half. They've stated themselves that the first half was just them having fun and introducing the characters - whereas the second half made them go pale during planning meetings. Personally, I believe that KILL la KILL may finish off strong, and with a score as high as 8.6 if everything goes perfectly in this second half as it has until now. (EP 16-18) If there's anyone that I trust to write an interesting shounen/seinen show like this, it's the people over at TRIGGER. Imaishi and Nakashima know how to add just the right amount of depth. Those are my personal thoughts. We'll see what actually happens. P.S: If TRIGGER can pull of KILL la KILL with its start-up budget, then I'm extremely excited to see what they can do in the future. |

(EP 18) http://i.imgur.com/iqFgNgJ.jpg it may crack the 150's but i doubt itll get any higher than that, just about every series in the top 100 with some very rare exceptions are rated high from the get go and are usually long or sequels, shinsekai and steins are the only 2 shows that really seem to be exceptions and even then shinsekai barely made it into the top 100, but steins did jump....alot |

(Current score of 9.17) I know it's not a perfect example, considering Steins Gate improved itself a bit earlier than KILL la KILL did. KILL la KILL began its "better half" 4 episodes later than Steins;Gate did, but we'll just have to see what effect that has on its score. At the very least, I know it will go up. Until that finale, I'll just focus on enjoying this ride. A ride that I haven't had in a long time. |
