| Glad I saved that fanart of them wearing each other's Kamui. Also, Senketsu was kinda cute with that: "I'm the only Kamui that Ryuko should wear!" sentence he almost finished. EDIT: Also... uh... when were the previews supposed to stop being a part of the episodes...? |
Burrdo said: Hoshimaru57 said: Nobody ever expected through all this, Ryuko to be the villain. (Well dragon) So Ryuko unlocks true Junketsu, does that mean Satsuki can unlock true Senketsu? She's not the villain. She's still the protagonist, and Satsuki has always been the deuteragonist (good or bad). Being mind broken and having changed memories doesn't switch the side she's on. They probably took more care in mind controlling her this time around, making it almost seem like she did it out of her own will (since last time she just brute forced her way out of the control). That being said, it's sad that from the beginning Ryuuko has always just been strung along for someone else's desires. This episode was pretty great, and Satsuki's escape remind of MGS. I don't think she'll be able to unlock Senketsu (since she's not another life-fiber doll, nor can she communicate with him), and I'm willing to bet this part of the story ends with Junketsu getting destroyed. At this point you may want to hold your "predictions". I really won't be surprised if Ryuuko ends up as the final boss and Satsuki the hero. Right now all we can do is sit tight and wait for next week. |

vengy117 said: I really like Kill la Kill, but the one thing that I wish this anime could do better is take itself seriously. There are some really serious moments in this anime, but when you throw in bad dialogue from Aikuro "Glowing nipples" Mikisugi and Mako "Worst comic relief since Jar Jar Binks" Mankanshoku, the serious moments leave almost zero impact. As for this episode in particular, it's honestly just starting to feel like bad fanfiction at this point. Sure it still has the same mindless action of Gurren Lagann, but they're adding so many unnecessary plot points that it's just starting to feel cheesy. Plus, if what happens in the next episode is what I think is going to happen, then this entire "Ryuko is a monster" arc will be entirely pointless This anime hasn't been serious since episode 1. Never will be. |

| Ugh, right. I hope stupid Mako won't intervene their business. Not like I hate Mako, but her apperance at most vital scenes really cut the fun, though |
| Tatakai~ |
| Also I just have to mention that the "flashback" scene when Ragyo forced Ryuko to wear Junketsu was pretty heart-wrenching. It was the false memories of a normal childhood with a loving mother she wished she had. It's going to be hard to watch Ryuko being forced into reality. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| My Wishes have become True I officially love this damn show + some EVA shit in that fake flashback |

| The plot twist in this anime is truely murderous Ryuko and satsuki exchanged their kamui Harime Nui is also Ryuko's sister |
| I did not mean to harm anyone feeling or criticize the point of view of other. These are my point of views. |

| Yeah!!! Ryukko as the villain and my queen, Satsuki as the main heroine!! I can't believe it's ending in four eps just as I've gotten everything I've wanted.. |
| That scene with Ryuko and Junketsu was pretty heartbreaking and that ending is looking like more and more of a death flag to me. |
| wow, after watching the most recent ep I have to say this show though really has climbed its way up in terms of my review score. I had it projected at around a 5 (average) through the first 10ish episodes. But it has slowly worked its way up to maybe even the 7 range for sure (great. don't take a 7 lightly, shows like Durarara, Angels Beats, and Usagi Drop are in this range). I HIGHLY doubt it will ever get into the 8 range (Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Madoka Magica) because that first half did hold it back, and I can't just ignore that, but still, I haven't seen many shows that have been able to improve so well over the course of the show. |

Senketsu even told you that they were going to stop having the previews as part of the episodes. They're still released online tho. |

| This series continues to get more intense. We have 4 episodes left, and they will indeed be an epic 4 episodes, with lots of battles for everyone! Also did anyone notice that there was sort of graphic nudity on Ryuko when she was being forced into Junketsu? Sure it was like Mantaro's nudity a few episodes ago, but it was more graphic than what I expected! |
| Satsuki looks good, and younger, with Senketsu Ryuuko, probably wont look so good with the normal Junketsu The magic of sailor uniform |
| Satsuki will sacrifice herself to bring Ryuuko back and Ryuuko should have been a bad guy from the beginning. |

"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| With all this memory re-writing 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. Please check out my theory here ... and leave your thoughts! |
| "Evidently... There's no such thing as 'meaning' in this world. But that in itself is wonderful... isn't it? Since if there isn't a set meaning, then you can just find one on your own." - Filicia Heideman, So Ra No Wo To |
| Kamui exchange, the epicness continues. |
Riez said: Because you're watching it from HorribleSubs and HS rips it from Crunchyroll=Internet=Web. I thought the web previews were supposed to be 30 seconds long? Also, the episode is exactly the same length as the previous one with the preview there. Why would they cut out the preview and not make the show any longer? |
| Glad I've stuck with this series, the story progression has kicked up a notch in the 2nd half of the series. Wasn't expecting it to transition from fun/over the top action to having a serious/solid plot line. Mikisugi, still able to take the intense atmosphere to somewhat light-hearted, his screen time is always enjoyable. |

| i loved the episode for the most part, but i was disappointed they went the " mind-conrtol" route. it would have been way more compelling if ryuko switched sides on her own. they had already gone out of their way to show that she's going through an intense personal crisis and doubting everything. it totally felt like they were grooming her to become the villain since pretty early on. i sorta wanted to see the show legitimately become "ryuko vs the world" |
| It hurts to see Ryuko like that.. It maybe be badass and interesting too see an evil Ryuko but like someone said she's just been a tool for other to use.. Her life has been crap and its been a huge lie.. Her existence as a human was a lie now she's being brainwashed to destroy her friends allies and her family.. It sucks because she dropped her "avenger" mentality to a "hero" one.. She was finally getting the big picture then this happens I like Satsuki but Ryuko has pretty much been my second favorite character(Ragyo comes first) in some ways I can relate to her and she pretty much shows the most amount of emotions in the anime She desperately needs an ass beating then some comfort from both Senketsu and Satsuki alone.. And I mean those two alone.. No mako nor NB.. Hell I'd rather have Mako's family do it than her |
| a really great ep! but... |
| Another AWESOME Episode ! Watching Ryouko's happiness which she wants to was very sad I guess. It explained as well why the first ending was like that. Unfortunately, it was just a brainwashing. I thought Nui died for a moment. I wish she died. She's just a pain in the ass >> Roles are changed. It looks like this is gonna be a good fight because of their badassness .. Although the Badass Ryouko now is an enemy, I like her more than before, it looks so cool. Has anybody known the name of that music in the middle of the anime ? |

Shinjiisawesome said: I don`t get something. Maybe it has been discussed here. Sōichirō said all the things he could about life fibers to Satsuki when she was aged 5.We see Ragyo experiment on Satsuki when she was 1 year old. She can`t fuse with life fibers, so Ragyo used Ryuko when she was still a newborn. At that time Satsuki was maybe 1.5 years old . But we see Sōichirō leaving with Ryuko when she was still little( under a year old). That makes it impossible for him to say anything to Satsuki , when she was 5 years old. I don`t get it. Did someone find a explanation ? Actually, go back to the episode and you'll see that Ryuko is pretty grown up by the time Soichiro changes to Isshin. She has full grown hair and a larger size. |

It would be a head scratching "wtf" moment if that happened.. At best you could've had the Ryuko(by herself) vs Revocs with no help from NB which is what happened till the brainwashing.. I never felt that she was built up to be a villain but more of a tragic character.. |
| Satsuki > Ryuko anytime |
| fiber swapping!! |
| i love every episooooode! |
