Kill la Kill Episode 22 Discussion

Does somebody know if Gainax is still involved in Kill la Kill's animation?

I don't understand, are you trying to say that they were involved in the production of Kill la Kill?
I thought it was a completly original creation from Trigger.

"Nee... nee... nee..."

So close ! So close !

I think this was definitely the worst episode of all

BRSxIgnition said:
One thing that I saw recently on Tumblr peaked my interest...

What's a powerful, space-related thing, that can be related to clothing, fashion, and fibers?

The "Fabric" of space & time.

Not saying that it's likely.. but.. Come on - it's TRIGGER we're talking about. It's likely that Life Fibers are things that maybe mastered control of the above? Something like that?

Maybe Ryuuko will time travel?

BACK TO THE KILL!?

(I'll see myself out...)


Nah, worst episode credit goes to episode 14 or 15.

I think this was definitely the worst episode of all, but that still doesn't mean it was bad at all considering the standards are super high. They're probably saving time and energy for the last 2 ones and they will be epic I am sure.

I am so scared of Nui now, Ragyo seems to me like a cute lil puppy next to her.

Scython said:
Why exactly didn't Nui get hurt when she was stabbed in the stomach with the scissor blade, but suddenly freaked out when her arms got cut off by that same blade and wasn't able to grow them back?

ollythirteen said:
Does anyone think we'll be getting an explanation regarding what leads Ryuuko chased after her father's murder?

BRSxIgnition said:
We established this - her arms were cut with both blades, and were destroyed before she had any chance to re-attach them.

Scython said:
During the info dump it was said that Ragyou reawakened the original life fiber 200 years ago, which would suggest that she's immortal and yet that subject is never touched upon, not even by Ryuuko herself even though she is the same as her mother, making her immortal as well.

BRSxIgnition said:
Sorry, but you are completely wrong. She has never stated that she has been around for 200 years. She even thanks "father time" because she is the only Head of the Kiryuuin clan to see it awaken. If she had been the last head of the clan, she wouldn't have had the chance.

Scython said:

Yes, that's what I was assuming as well. But it still made me wonder, because it's basically what they're saying. Have a look at this part.

BRSxIgnition said:


That's likely a mistranslation of some kind, considering that it contradicts what I mention above, which happened after that.

I think that in the image you linked, they meant to have it say the "Kiryuuin Clan" rather than Ragyou herself. They never pay much attention to how old she is, if she really is that old.

Scython said:

You can clearly hear him say her name during the line though, so unless the translation is completely off, that should be the thing that's being said.

But whatever. Other than this I could go on asking what it is that could have reawakened the fibers from their long sleep, why the Kiryuuin family are somehow the chosen ones that have to ability to command and use them or why they somehow know the process of that whole cocoon-planet explosion thing happening, even though they shouldn't because who told them? The life fibers? Then why have we only heard Senketsu talk in the entire series? Kill La Kill is so full of plot holes that I will never consider giving it any higher than a 7, but at least it's fun to watch as long as you shut down your brains while doing so.

EratiK said:
Honestly I wouldn't call those plot holes, because they barely need explaining:

- Kiryuuin aren't the chosen one: life-fibers ball randomly picked some guys who became the Kiryuuin. LF (life-fibers) wouldn't give powers to everybody because they want to control the people, which implies making one stronger being than the others
- in the series it is said LF waited for the population to grow. Maybe you don't know but there was 10 times less people on earth about 200 years ago.
- if LF are anything like Senketsu, then it's likely only Ragyou hears them.

Scython said:
Aren't all of these explanations of yours just assumptions?

EratiK said:
No, most of this is in episode 16, but smaller bits might be scattered around elsewhere (can't be more precise, sorry), mainly in the second half of the show I think.

As for Nui I admit it's a bit more problematic. Personally I don't like the two-scissors explantation. It's more simple to think of it in terms of regeneration, like with Ragyo's head: if all veins and nerves are cut, then regeneration is impossible (as opposed to stabbing). Sound in principle, but the blow Nui received didn't look like it could cut the nerve of her eye and everything. You can most likely blame esthetics for this one, eyepatches are cool.

Also what was your cocoon-planet question? If you mean how the Nudists know, it's because Satsuki told them (ep 22). Satsuki knows because Ragyou told her because she was supposed to be the heir of Revocs. And like I said above it's likely Ragyou knows because she can hear the life-fibers. In a way it's more than that, she's like life-fibers incarnate: like how Ryuuko was possessed, Ragyou's more life-fibers than human if she really did live that long.

Scython said:

Well, if the life fibers indeed gave all the information to Ragyou then that would explain a few things, but that's unconfirmed at this point. And they did say that the family got picked yes, but not really why. 'Just because' sounds a bit too simple to me.

Oh well, at least for the most part everything is pretty straightforward. It's not really something that deteriorates my enjoyment of the series too much, but there are some things here and there that do make me wonder how they overlooked that, even if it could be considered nitpicking. On the other hand, the entire universe of Kill La Kill is a bit absurd, so I guess that should be expected.

But please don't flame bait and be annoying as hell.

@ migohunter,

The truth burns, man. Ain't nuthin new.

Some people will eat their McDonald's and not question how the cow ended up as their patty.

I get that.

Now you, migohunter, need to get that there are people who DO question these things while relishing their burger at the same time.

End of the day, the truth remains that both parties are eating some fucked up shit.

No more whining out of you about flamebaiting or whatever.

There are stronger things that could be said to incite hatred, a feeling I don't even harbour.

Oh hey wait. That's MAL in a nutshell. I question why I keep coming back here, smh.

You know you can't resist, lol. The anime is too powerful.

terrablu2003 said:
3/5

Anime that I was almost never sends "boiling" the blood and even this episode preparatory, created pathos that should normally be before a big battle.
However, not all garbage.
Technically, however, the animations are really poor in quality! ^ ^ "
At least Satsuki, keeps morale high with his way of doing.
