NwAurion said: And how can Godrobes, made of life fibers, stop the scissors? Of course, Ryuuko was wearing Senkestu, it wasn't just a stray life fiber, but if all they can do is cutting stray life fibers they wouldn't be anything special. Besides plot/making it look awesome, i see no reason why Ryuuko was able to block Nui there. It's been explained before - only Bakuzan is capable of cutting Godrobes. The arm-blades Ryuuko was using were part of Senketsu, so she's able to block those attacks. This works on the Red Scissor, but I will admit it doesn't work with my theory about the Purple Scissor. That, plus the Purple Scissor has already been shown to work on Senketsu in the past. I can only assume that having the blood of three individuals inside him at once makes Senketsu more powerful than he has been in the past? |

| UPDATED SCISSOR BLADE THEORY? What if the /MAIN/ ability of the blades is to stop the restoration abilities of Life Fibers - /NOT/ to cut them? To be more clear, we've seen two (sets of) blades in the show so far, Bakuzan and the Scissor Blades. This would explain why they've been effective in some situations, but utterly useless in others. In every situation where they have worked, they were being wielded by the stronger or more willful party. Then again, it could just be a plot hole... They do have a guide book coming out in the future - hopefully it gets explained there. Think we should ask Trigger_Tattun on Twitter? |

BRSxIgnition said: Beholda said: I also think that may be possible... There could be a good bit of continuation from this if they really wanted to. What we've gotten so far seems like the beginning to something more - like Ragyou is just a mid-boss. Now it's so good. I wonder if there's going to be a setup for a second season or something. I'm sure I'm not supposed to have that idea at this point in the show, but I dunno... They do mention that the OLF is just a seed from a much larger, universe-spanning entity. How will they defeat an enemy THAT massive in two episodes when they're still just on earth fighting one of its henchmen? Trigger Is not a company to make 2 seasons, and from what is happening I dont think that they will make another season, Plus I think it would get to drawn out if they had 2 seasons. I am happy with just 1 season |

I am happy with just 1 season True enough - they may not do that. Thing is, we would've gotten a PSwG 2 if they had been able to keep the rights to it.. So idk. We'll see. |

| it really sucks that kill la kill is only 24 episodes. in a way kill la kill and gurren lagann after 22 episodes are at the same point now. kill la kill you have everyone ready to head for the final battle. satsuki and ryuko finally teamed up for real. Gurren Lagann problem is gurren lagann had 5 more episodes while kill la kill only has two. there simply is not enough time. regarding a season 2. if they can set it up i would not mind kill la kill has a wonderful cast of interesting characters |

| Interesting how Junketsu was able to be tailored multiple times. FALCON PUNCH! (Sorry, just had to say it) |
| Do you guys think there is an actual explanation for the scissor blade's seemingly changing abilities? Like someone has pointed out, Ryuuko blocked both blades this episode, which I can't seem to think up a theory as to why she was able to. It throws out my old "Purple Blade" kills fibers theory, because - obviously- it didn't this time. I thought up a theory on the last page (also in spoiler below) about it having to do with willpower/strength, but even so - the purple blade should've completely destroyed Senketsu if that was true, but it didn't. (However Nui's arms died in this episode) So... Yeah - thoughts? I want to try figuring this out - since it's bugging me. Other stuff has been adequately explained, so this seems like an odd place to skimp out. Think it's just a plot hole? (I wonder if it will be in the Guide Book they're making?) |

Aylaine said: Perhaps life fiber synchronization allows Ryuuko to block such hits? She's completely fused with Senketsu when wearing him, unlike most users who are not at that same level of compatibility. Well, that would be the easiest and laziest way to explain it. "She got stronger." Since it wasn't registered as an "event" in the story - characters pointing out she can block them, maybe providing a quick one-sentence theory as to how - and just kinda happened, it makes it seem more like an oversight than anything. About Nui's limbs - someone pointed out that she's just life fibers, not flesh and bone. She can bleed, but that's all. Ryuuko used the scissors and cut each arm multiple times, severing any and all connections to the host: Nui. An Anon also stated the following on the topic, which makes general sense: Thoughts? ollythirteen said: Hahaha, I edited it as to not keep the conversation closed between us - hope that's okay. Also, I see what you did there... |

| It seems the general consensus - and one that I'm actually surprisingly fine with, is that that: In Ryuuko's current state, her and Senketsu's defenses simply shut down Nui's attack. The blade couldn't cut what it couldn't pierce. |

I've said this an episode or two before, but- The Red Scissor Blade has already failed that theory twice. Ryuko cut Senketsu in her fight with Uzu, and she's even cut Ragyo's hand clean off. Neither occasion prevented life-fiber restoration from occurring. Not to mention the Purple Scissor's ability to cut Senketsu into little pieces. |

| Also Isshin used only the red part of the Scissor Blade to damage Nui's eye, not both. An explanation would be really appreciated, because the functionality of the Scissor Blades have been totally random so far. Meanwhile I keep myself sane till next thursday by watching this over and over again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDTyvSrI5bw |
| I am not good at English, but I want to tell that point out that few person mentioned; In Japan, it can express very intimate relationship to call someone only their first name. It is only between family or lovers or close friends. For example, it suspected sexual harassment that a man calls the first name of a woman senselessly at work. Until this episode, Satsuki always called Ryuko "Matoi" or "Matoi Ryuko" because they were not close. But at last she called her "Ryuko" in the beautiful sunset scene. She acknowledged that Ryuko is her sister. So it was very touching and it let to the scene that Ryuko tried to call Satsuki "Nee-san". |
| I'd like to think that only once the Scissor Blades are both red would it be at full potential. When Isshin slashed Nui that time, they were still both red and when Ryuuko finally got both blades, the other half turned red as well. Sorry if this has been said before. Although yeah, it'd be better to have an actual explanation. |
| Wow, this episode is the real deal. Nui's ass getting kicked by Ryuuko was hilarious. The way she reacted when her arms where cut off was also funny. Ryuuko dual-wielding those scissors was badass though i was expecting she would have the combined form although that would be very awkward. lol I wonder if Shinra-Kotetsu would be a mecha-sized Godrobe. Ryuuko's reconciliation with Satsuki was very touching. I'm expecting those Devas will finally wear their badass ultima uniforms back. A good highlight of this episode was the cool simultaneous transformation of both Ryuuko and Satsuki. It made my eyes teared. hahaha Ryuuko almost called Satsuki 'Nee-s..'. Awwww Brace yourselves, incoming yuri fanboys. hahahaha Finally, another epic highlight is the return of Mako's Fight Club. Go2x Mako! XD Oh I forgot, anyone reminded that the Life Fiber monster somehow is wearing 2 distinct Kamina-like shades? |

| "Everyone wears their own panties inside their heart" - Kousaku Hata |
| This anime is really awesome. With its climax approaching, each episode is better than the previous one. This week's was really good, the scenes between Ryuko and Senketsu but above all the ones between Ryuko and Satsuki were quite touching. I can't wait for next week's episode. But at the same time, as anyone's already said, I don't want it to end yet ^^' |
| Mako's 2 stars goku outfit is back!!! HELL YES! 8D |
 |
| The final battle's here and mako's back too. Gonna miss this show when its over |
YurikoRaine said: Also Isshin used only the red part of the Scissor Blade to damage Nui's eye, not both. When Isshin cut Nui, it was with the Circular (Purple) Blade, not the red blade. It was still red in color at the time though. Which ties in to the bottom: NanaiHighcastle said: I'd like to think that only once the Scissor Blades are both red would it be at full potential. When Isshin slashed Nui that time, they were still both red and when Ryuuko finally got both blades, the other half turned red as well. Sorry if this has been said before. This could be true, and works with the theory that me and some Anons came up with. (Listed after the quote below) JerichoDeath said: I've said this an episode or two before, but- The Red Scissor Blade has already failed that theory twice. Ryuko cut Senketsu in her fight with Uzu, and she's even cut Ragyo's hand clean off. Neither occasion prevented life-fiber restoration from occurring. Not to mention the Purple Scissor's ability to cut Senketsu into little pieces. The Anon's theory is that depending on Ryuuko's strength in relation to her opponent, Senketsu has done different things, and the blades have done different things in turn against him. To explain, they compare Ryuuko blocking both blades to a person trying to push a knife through paper towel and into brick. (Brick-covered paper towel would probably be a better example.) As long as Ryuuko provided the same force back into defending as Nui put into the swing, Senketsu's defenses wouldn't be pierced, and the scissors would not reach Senketsu's actual life fibers to cut them. Thoughts? |

Thoughts? Because Isshin made Senketsu dedicated for Ryuuko, he probably did the same for the scissor sword. This probably explain why the scissor sword changed its color completely to red when Ryuuko got it back. That is, her blood was fed into the blade giving it ability to cut through life fibers completely. So I guess he made exception to the scissor sword to prevent it from destroying Senketsu completely. |
| I will re-watch the second half of this episode every day until Thursday. It was just too preternatural and relieving for just one watch. |
 |
| Fantastic episode. It was beautiful to see the sisters bond and everyone sitting down for that meal!...showing a mishmash of of everyone united while eating a mishmash of all different ingredients - I just only hope it is not like the Last Super before a Crucifixion and Death as someone said. Nui and Rei were fantastic - especially Nui losing her cool and threatening the mostly submissive Rei. I still have my suspicions about Rei though, about how she fully fits into all of this and why she is even hanging with Ragyo and Nui. Could she not be human or be a representative of the Life Fibers or even the real mastermind? With 2 episodes left, I certainly am ready to see where this goes. |

That's a really good theory - but I'm a bit confused as to why it would let Nui cut Senketsu in episode 13. I assume that was simply Nui being stronger at that point, and cutting him only physically. That would explain why he could be put together again so easily, just like Ragyou's arm. That would make sense... Especially when combined with my theory... I like it. Makes sense. |

| Loved the episode, I was kinda hoping the rebuilt Senketsu would have a voice. The part where Matoi tries to call Satsuki sister was hilarious. |

| Yes, Fight Club President Mako is back in action! |

sibbo7 said: http://i.imgur.com/fTagOxR.jpg those animations sometimes.. just wow 8) The whole sunset scenes were wow. I loved seeing Satsuki's hair in the wind while talking with Ryuko. |
kelarus said: Satsuki is best girl Probably the best first forum post you can make. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
BRSxIgnition said: Well you're right only physically, with your theory. Ryuuko was mentally tormented by Nui that time so she had a weak willpower. Therefore, she couldn't manifest enough defense in Senketsu to protect him. Because of that Senketsu was cut into pieces ONLY and Ryuuko fell unconscious after. I sure Isshin made the scissor sword was to server connection of all life fiber except for Senketsu who is connected to Ryuuko. Hence the name: "life fiber synchronization"That's a really good theory - but I'm a bit confused as to why it would let Nui cut Senketsu in episode 13. I assume that was simply Nui being stronger at that point, and cutting him only physically. That would explain why he could be put together again so easily, just like Ragyou's arm. That would make sense... Especially when combined with my theory... I like it. Makes sense. Senketsu can still recover if Ryuuko had the will to, but she couldn't because she was knocked out. But at episode 15 Ryuuko had the resolve to gather all of Senketsu pieces and restore him back to normal successfully because she had the will to. Because Senketsu was made for Ryuuko, as Senketsu said "it is you who wears me...you were able bring yourself back under control [from beserk mode]. With you own willpower" (episode 13) I agree that our theory together makes sense \(＾O＾)/ |
| That dual transformation scene with Satsuki and Ryuko was awesome. |
| You know what? I don't even care. Despite all the problems this show's had, I I'M SO PUMPED RIGHT NOW. FUCK CLOTHING YEAH! This episode was so good on many levels. Best part was the dual-sister transformation and Ryuko fumbling to get out the words "onee-chan." so glad to see things come full circle between her and Satsuki. |

| ..mm..mm..Mako is going into the action~~! >.< nee...nee..nee....damn it ryuko you almost finish it |
 |
| Gruesome stuff when Nui's arms were cut off Her insaneness level went up sky high The sisterhood moment of Ryuuko and Satsuki was cute Mako's entrance at the end was just prime |
| mankanshoku is the star of the ep. but what was she doing at the start with her skirt around her boobs and her shirt on her waist? so weird. ryuko struggling to say 'sister' was defs cute |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |

| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| They are being very, VERY selective with what they show in that preview.. It's just slightly longer versions of the cuts we got on the normal preview, with Mako thrown in. I'm scared. What'll happen? |

| It's a perfect episode. 10/10 for me Loved every second of it. I hope nothing bad happens on the next episode since usually bad happens after a good feeling moment u.u |
| Does somebody know if Gainax is still involved in Kill la Kill's animation? |
