I have no idea what this has become and where it's going, but I have a morbid fascination with it and will keep watching.

I wanted Diamond to shut up and get a comeuppance, but this was pretty brutal. King Torture completely broke her in more ways than one.

Mizuki is really beautiful.

Well this show has definitely put itself back on track.

That finger crush. Ouch.

I don't like the cheesy speeches with the cheesy music, but i guess he is a superhero, what do i expect. I also hope we don't just get king torture coming back over and over again.

I guess real super villains wouldn't exist if the heroes didn't. kinda makes you question heroes >.>

I think that mari is the most interesting thing here though, she got fucked in every way, she is brokeded.

Please no more cheesy ass villains, king torture was a step in the right direction at least :) Though i guess he's gonna be back...

I will continue to stick around though, i did enjoy this episode a lot actually and i feel the characters will continue to get more interesting especially with the mari situation and masayoshi revealing his identity. I wish he wouldn't fight with stationary though, he needs to start using some lethal weapons, hopefully he realises that, because swinging from a building with a tape measure is so cringy its unreal xD

At first I was like "Noooo! Not Moe-chan!"

Then I was like "Alright! Moe-chan is the best!" and also "You're pretty alright for a psychotic evil maniac, KT"

Mari might not be the most likeable character, but right now I feel she's probably the most interesting. They say "Pride cometh before a fall", and she has those two bases covered. But now that she's fallen where will she go? She's wearing her Flamenco Diamond suit on stage, so it's pretty safe to assume everyone also knows who the Flamenco Girls are at this point. Will she give up? Will she turn evil? Will she reflect and change? I'm excited to see where she goes from here.

Here's a thought for everyone: What if Gotou's girlfriend is the Power behind King Torture's throne? That would mean that she knew exactly what Gotou was doing when she sent that text and she just wanted to mess with him...

Well, I think they just broke Mari. I don't care for her that much, but that ED song was kinda painful.
That scene when Mari and Moe got captured.... reminded me so much of part of Higurashi....
Does anyone else think that the way it's told is to try to make us feel like someone in the story? like OMG there's monsters in the real world! two months later: oh there's another one...

This show fills me with nostalgia for things like Power Rangers. The way it is so absolutely serious within the goofiness. Even though it would seem absolutely crazy and even funny to other people who don't feel the same way as those characters there are still so many of them that stick to what they believe in.

Although I enjoyed this episode, I'm still a bit skeptical of the direction this series is going. I think episode 7 will forever remain a black mark on SF for me, but I still want to see what the rest has to offer.

I was honestly waiting for Mari to get put in her place, but it was like damn, I couldn't help but feel for her when she was on the stage as a physical and psychological mess. I want to guess that she'll recover eventually, but with how unexpectedly dark this series has become, I wouldn't be surprised if she goes full crazy.

That awkward moment when you are blown away at how weird the whole episode is and you see that 77 (out of 128) people loved this episode. Or when you think this may be the last episode and you realised there are 22 episodes in total.

At least that's for me.

Erh, I hate to say this but, it's beyond Power Rangers now. I really do not like the idea of cells turning into monsters and how the producer made Hazama turn into really a superhero when he almost turned crazy over wanting to be a hero. Cause what he did in this episode is really like a superhero especially when he was in danger.

And I do not really study physics but can anyone explain how a car could topple a rocket?

And finally, the mind-breaking scenes of Mari were quite bad since I think the atmosphere turned from one of superhero-ish to the innate ugliness of humans (the dilemma between survival and sacrifice). That part actually was very dark, and the producers had to add one more last part of singing.

I'm actually digging this show more than anything else this season, and DEFINITELY more than anything from last season. Started slow, but it's become a must watch.

Really interested in what they'll do with the show now that everything is revealed, and King Torture is dead for the moment. Also HIGHLY interested in how they'll handle Moe and Mari now that Moe's crush isn't just a 'played for laughs' deal, but she's also seen that there's really no chance with Mari. Perhaps shifting her affections towards Mizuki, after that gesture during the concert? Either way, I just want that gal to be happy, gatdammit.

There's a lot of potential. I mentioned Moe falling for Mizuki, but I wouldn't mind them handling it in other ways. Maybe Moe's the one who brings Mari out of her BSOD? There's a million ways they could handle that sort of scenario, and every single one of em is cute as fuck, in my head at least.

I'm worried that they might just throw that plot to the wayside too, since I've seen other series/games/etc. take a perfectly good potential-yuri situation and just ignore it after building it up, but I've had a lot of doubts about this show and it's proven each one wrong so far, so hopefully it does it again here too.

If it turns out that the Last Boss is also or Hazama himself, I'll give the series a 9.

Mari has a lot of potential not to cave in. The last scene kind of invokes the "Are you not entertained?!" vibes and her defeat was in line with the frustration of another idol, who decided to change her employ (Perfect Blue). King Torture was pleased with Moe's reassuring calculations - regardless she followed Mari's whim to become Samumenco Girls, she responded to reality as a dark minion, knowing what was best for her in the situation. The idol scene is Dark Side enough for the girls to aspire for something heroic and different.
Well, Mari might disagree, after all - neither being detracted from her wishes, nor accepting the implied "we were bitches to each other all along" in regards to the girls in the trio.

But see how good the torture incident went for Hazama, lol. The man who was beaten by middle schoolers, who has been repeatedly pushed aside by music idols and forgotten action heroes, whom a policeman continuously pulls out of his own messes and shrivels of horror in front of his own manager, walks out in glory and receives his proper publicity ... :L Well, King Torture might be an independent agency as a catalyst in the world of entertainment, but Hazama (I think) spirals in a very strange direction the more his blabbering heroes' catchphrases intensifies.

This episode was by far one of the best. Everyone hates Mari loll but i cant seem to find myself to dislike her but that ending tho!! ;p love how King torture got to her mentally it was seriously the best part to me loll Although i don't hate her i found that particular part to be seriously satisfying in every way. I was in pure bliss~~~~

Im glad that king tortured didnt kill Konno because i kinda like him especially when he teases and messes with Ishihara

I was a bit surprised that Masayoshi revealed himself becuase i thought he wouldve continued to keep his identity a secret but he didnt sooo -shrugs- :3

I overly love Goto i hope we get to see his gf in later eps Im just overly curious about how she looks and why is it that they only text :3

That was interesting! Now I'm curious as to what will happen next. I'm surprised that they killed off King Torture so quickly. The torture scene with Moe and Mari was actually quite hard to watch. I'm interested in seeing how this showdown affects all the characters.

As for why she's singing so badly at the end, she's in the middle of crying after being tortured, can't really blame her!

You kind of missed the entire point of what I was trying to say (which is that I can't help but feel they are going to say "LOL JUST KIDDING" somewhere down the line) but yes I know that she was singing like that because she was depressed. Crying=broken voice, i'm not that stupid.

I don't understand why anyone who didn't like this ep kept watching after ep 8, because it was pretty much perfect. Masayoshi goes from becoming a legit actual superhero who fights evil monsters to killing the big bad and unmasking in the course of 3 episodes and there's still 12 left to go.

Looks like Flamenco Diamond learned her lesson while at the same time revealing her genuine insincerety as a champion for justice. Serves her right!

Can't wait to see what the next villain is going to be like and how things will be for Samurai Flamenco now that he has revealed his identity.

The only thing I expect from the next episodes is real character development for Mari. Besides that, we have no idea of what will happen next, and that's good.

I am actually perfectly fine with the plot change and i think what king torture said about what people think of villains is true.People are use to thinking that the goverment,police and other people will help when a villain appears but they say that because they have never met a true villain.And if we think about it,human itself now is destroying the earth.
