THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So, episode 20. Summary in the spoiler tag.


END.

My thoughts?

This episode was really well done. Heart-wrenching too.. Ryuuko...


With all this stuff going on, I wrote a theory that may end up coming true if TRIGGER really wants to go the "Character Drama" route with this, like they said they have.

Family reunion and Takarada is freaking awesome so far with that return. I got some TTGL vibe from this. Looks like they are fighting against Ragyo in full force now. Feel the wrath yo

Watching Satsuki is suffering ;.;
Heh, memory montage from Ryuko. More suffering.

I just want to ask, just How Much MORE will Trigger make Ryuuko suffer... That girl needs hugs... lots of them.
Also loved how Satsuki pretty much set herself up as the Boss of NB's ship, give her a day or two and she'll be running Nudist Beach.

went pretty much the way i expected it which is awesome just that i thought ryuko would be forced into that giant kamui they were making instead of junketsu.

Ryuuko and Senketsus suffering continues. Nui is creepy as always and Ragyo is still the best mom out there. Those false memories were pretty sad.
Can't wait for the next episode, the fight will be pretty awesome.
Am I the only one who still believes some characters are going to die?

The drama, the suffering, the nail sharpening tension and rampant nudity. Loved all of it. Thank you Trigger.

All of this. Yes, Yes, and more Yes. Hoping she doesn't die.

Who wants to bet that Mako will be threatened by the battle between Satsuki and Ryuuko, and Gama will "sever the bonds of fate" by protecting her from whatever impact/attack that would usually have hit her?

We'll have to wait n' see.

First of all, I'd like to say hello! I've been spectating these forums for a while now, but finally decided to make an account and join the discussion.

xSanox said:

Ah, I'm pretty sure the uniform they were sewing together was Junketsu, except torn apart, then customized so it would 'fit' Ryuuko.

Also, I think that wearing Junketsu is influencing Ryuuko's memories; I think once she doesn't wear Junketsu anymore, she'll regain her normal memories. It could be possible Junketsu was altered that way that it uses the thread that Ragyo used to brainwash all the One-stars and Ryuko in episode 18, but this time directly entered her body through the flow of her blood, which allowed them to go straight inside her brain, instead of around? But alas, that is probably a too far fetched theory.

Anyways, overall it was a great episode! I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially Satsuki kicking ass with only two very sharp blade nails, beating the COVERS up while being fully naked, and of course Satsuki wearing Senketsu. I'm excited for next week's episode!

Ryuuko sure turned into a steaming pile of emo. Pathetic.

Satsuki is best girl by far.

I would like to see Ryuuko kill Mako to break herself out of Jenketsu. She needs a big wake up call.

Satsuki looks amazing in anything she wears... SATSUKI #1!

I wonder what Nui and Ragyo are preparing that was supposed to 'eat' Satsuki. If it was that Junketsu then it may become a trap for Satsuki - if Ryuuko is defeated I imagine Senketsu will return to her and Satsuki will take Junketsu - and it might try to eat her...

I hope not.

Dayyum, what an episode! Loved Satsuki's badassery and Nui's trolling. Although it was hard for me to watch most of Ryuuko's scenes with a straight face - not because I found her brooding ridiculous or anything, just because her facial expressions kept reminding me of Tomoko Kuroki :)

Hi! I have also been creeping these forums for a while now.

And I joined because there is something bugging me that no one is talking about.

What happened to my girl Rei Hououmaru?! She was so cool and also the only tanned character and I want her back <3

I don't feel like she died in the explosion in episode 19...

Poor Ryuuko. She's been exploited so many times only to end in a worse place than she started. Finding out about the truth of her father's death gave her no peace, since she uncovered more than she needed to know. I really do hope by the end of the series, she'll be in a happier place. Now these false memories are the only thing helping her cope with the pain.

Satsuki was a badass in this episode! The fact that she can don Senketsu is just BAMF worthy, since her mother told her she wasn't fit for Life Fibers.

Based on the episode 21 preview, Ryuuko looks like she's gonna come to her senses.

Well, she's put him on, but she still has yet to wear him. It will be interesting to see how all that goes down. Maybe we'll see another wedding-style transformation for Senketsu to complement Ryuuko's Junketsu transformation.

I'm confused about Nui. Was she just created from Life Fibers, or is she another one of Ragyou's children infused with Life Fibers?

In this episode I decided to already hand this show a perfect 10 it deserves. Last few episodes have been such a wild ride, and all indicators point to it only getting wilder.

Calling it now:
- Mako dies in episode 21l, snapping Ryuuko out of her brainwash
- Ryuuko and Satsuki combine scissor blade to cut Ragyo's head off
- Nui dies confused and lost after Ragyo dies
- Nudist Beach destroys remnants of Covers
- Ryuuko dies as side-effect because as a life fiber monster she can't live without the hive

It was Satsuki who never lost her way.

Dat Gurren Lagann reference... :D

We saw briefly Matoi nipple, they do really exist! xD
Mako wasn't able to stop her even with one of her speech :(

Satsuki, even nude, is so fucking epic.

I didn't thought that the money crazy would work with the nudist beach to help them liberate Satsuki.

Matoi have passed on the evil side and made the evil pact. Only Satsuki and Senketsu can save her! That fight will surely be brutal.

Ryuko was basically getting mind fucked this whole episode so basically she's another version of Sayaka Miki(my favorite character) I feel bad for her

Satsuki keeps her badassery and teams up with Senketsu.. I didn't think it was going to happen It was wishful thinking that paid off.. I'm glad that Mako is NOT the one to make Ryuko come to here senses but her sister and best friend

So what's with Ryuko's imagination while wearing Junketsu? Was it just her picturing "what could've been if my mother wasnt a complete bitch"?

Nui being life fibers was already predicted bit she isn't Ragyo's daughter


The Gurren Lagamn reference..couldn't take the epicness

Evil Ryuko? I swear these death flags keep piling up but to whom I have no idea

Junketsu's altering her memories as it combines with her Life Fibers inside her. So the Ryuuko at the end of the episode believes something that isn't true, thus she's fighting for her mother.

Another great episode. Was not expecting Ryuuko to wear Junketsu and give her fake memories. Didn't like Ryuuuko transformation with Junketsu. Thought it would be a little sexier. Satsuki is looking pretty good wearing Senketsu normally. Can't wait to see how she looks transform.

This episode caugh me off guard, holy shit. Although the Kamuis swap and Nui being life-fibers were somehow predictable, I still enjoyed it. Aslo, I couldn't believe that Takarada is back, but he is. I knew he was alive and kicking somewhere, but didn't thought that they'll actually bring him back. In the Dosh King we trust. ;_ ;7

- emotional talk between Ryuuko and Senketsu
- Nudist ship
- the Mankanshoku all dressed as Nudists
- Satsuki escaping
- Harime talking to Ryuuko
- Ryuuko crashing the party with Junketsu
- Tsumugu getting on his DTR
- Satsuki appearing with Senketsu

Next week's fight will be Epic la Epic.
