Decent fight although I feel like Saya struggled a bit with Kirin against their opponents. They make a good team though.

Action was alright, I personally thought this fight was better than the previous one. Meh Flora is still kidnapped.

I'm pretty much like the audience... Speechless. Especially after AR-D borrowing RM-C's armor.
And about Flora... I hope they'll save her in the episode too. Too bad it's just another cliffhanger.

Well I guess Kirin and Saya lost and they're out of the the tournament. Then I guess their opponents were really strong. The fight felt a tad bit dragged out though imo.

3/5

I really wish that Saya and Kirin would have won....

They deserved to win imo and that match in general was just amazing on both sides....I really liked how the Androids managed to evolve as individuals too

Second half bits with this Flora situation is pretty meh for me, but I'm interested in seeing how they're gonna pull this plan off though

I'm sorry to see them out of the tournament so quickly. Something about that fight though upset me like maybe I wish it were longer, yet not as dragged out with the talking and analyzing? idk. I don't get the point of kidnapping flora either.

Kirin and Saya's match was pretty cool. I actually came to like the, uhh, androids(?) a bit more, AR-D especially. Kirin and his fight had some pretty cool scenes. Also, can I just say how badass I thought his transformation was? lol

Of course, Flora is kidnapped. You know, I thought something like that might have happened when she first appeared. Seemingly weak maid that's close to one of the MC and competitors and all. Don't understand why Mr. Tyrant guy wants them to lose so badly though, and there was no one else representing his school other than Irene, right?

Anyway, I really liked the episode overall

Man I love Kirin and Saya so much. Sad they lost but was kinda expected.

The animation on Kirin's moves was awesome. There were parts were she was smiling during the battle and boy did she look cute <3

Saya's "Kakoii" about the Gattai was lol

This episode miss some explaination but forgivable.
1) The reason for Ser vesta's freezing, was so that Ayato cannot use it in the next two matches.

2) Why Yulis said selfish and stuffs for selecting Flora over festa, its because those who win festa(pheonix, gryph or grand slam) will be granted any wish(there is a limit of course).

3) The part where Dirk speaking with Ernesta, the unheard character's name and terms, i think you can ignore it for now. Its a bit over the festa volumes which might not be animated. The same goes to why Dirk wants Ayato to "lose" so badly.

4) Where did Rm-C go after the gattai? hahaha

I'm glad this fight didn't take the whole ep.
Imo the fight was quite boring for me, I had zero interest in it... But the action was good especially the explosions.
Flora being kidnapped is quite lame in part of Deke.

Also, that combining sequence between AR-D and RM-C reminded me of 00 Raiser

its so ayato cant use ser veresta in the semi finals and finals. what im speculating is that

omfg asterisks never been this amazing honestly the animation was 100/10 this episode. kirins swordplay was honestly gorgeous to watch.

OMG, where? Animation was really good in last episode, but in this one it was really low budget work. It's really not hard to put tons of CG and effects. In last episode they had a good balance between CG and 2D (at least characters were drawn in 2D), in this episode even characters were mostly animated in 3D (in action scenes).

Isn't the first one kinda obvious? Why else would someone demand he disables his weapon? I don't think this one needed any more explanation that provided.

The second one was rather easy to grasp too. And even if you didn't know about the wish granting, it still makes sense that she would call herself selfish when she focuses on just her friend over the victory in the tournament, which would benefit her partner and her school. So either way I would say it's fine.

The robots won by breaking the badges, so Kriin and Saya are still stronger in an all out fight.

Dirk wants Ayato to lose and is playing dirty and criminal, as expected from the mafia boss wannabe.

That was probably because she wasn't excited. When her voice was making my ears bleed, I noticed that it was usually when she was excited and super happy. Since she's in a more serious situation, she's probably using a more calm voice, rather than a loud exclamatory one.

Anyway, the fight in this episode was pretty cool to watch, it's a shame Saya and Kirin lost. I thought they'd win, but then things got really bad and I figured they'd lose unless there was some sort of last second asspull. I really don't care about Flora getting kidnapped since I find her to be super annoying, but I guess seeing this plan in action should be interesting enough.

Gotta love the Kirin and Saya teamwork this episode. I just love how they work together like that. First half was solid, decent action. Seems like they're going to save Flora now. Decent episode overall. But damn, the OP's gotta be one of the best this season.

The fight was pretty cool . But I really can't care about Flora , we barely know that she's Julis' maid and has an annoying voice . However , the demands being made on ayato to seal his Ser-vesta and thus not being able to wield it are suspicious . More screen time for Claudia is always good .

The fight was pretty epic until the ending when it skipped the ending...just super disappointed Kirin and Saya lost and get booted from the tournament since they had some of the most compelling reasons to win and they're my favorite characters in the show. Oh and of course there's a plot point about the bad guys wanting to seal Ayato's weapon right after he got a time limit extension >:/ At least Kirin and Saya still get to do something next episode.

Super-robot Mecha vs Infinite Stratos and loli-Kenshin.
....Mecha wins

I was hoping R-MC would be the main body for the fusion intead of AR-D

Typical blackmail in the mid of tournament....as usual

Disappointed that RM-C didn't get the armor from AR-D. Shame that Saya and Kirin has lost. >.<

Sheesh, the mastermind of the kidnapping is that fatass Dirk. What a way to restrict the Ser Veresta from Ayato. It might be restricted in the upcoming fight, but shouldn't be for the final.

Oh man, the crowd was wondering in they should get the hell out of there. lmao

The abduction subplot is going to play out SUPER predictable.

Bad guy is one step ahead, already knew they were gonna fake the Freeze on the Lux, set a trap for the rescuers. Rescue plan goes badly, needs a last minute savior.

I'd put money on it.

I suspected that Saya and Kirin were going to lose because Kirin's right leg was injured.the fight was very entertaining and I like it. Can't wait to and see Saya and Kirin rescuing Flora because she's so adorable, and I'm interesting to see where it goes from there. Not sure if I should trust Claudia, because she and Ayato's roommate were up to something from season 1. Yeah I'm guessing Claudia is plotting something now or in the future because I have feeling she's playing both sides. This season is getting even more interesting.

Great fight, Kirin's move were awesome. It's a shame that they lost, but Ayato will avenge them.
This second season is way better than the first. The focus on the fight was a good choice.
