Their team probably needs a better plan..

Shio and Kaoru's bonding was cute though. I like Shio's determination this episode despite being a bit injured too. Friendship is beautiful <3

Good to see Asao again. She is a good friend, trying to distract those monsters from getting to Ogura. Jack comes in though to save the day.

That spirit gun was awesome. The scenes were she gets help from her inner nobunaga are awesome.

Jack and Shio would really make a cute couple :) I wonder if the EU objects will try to kidnap her, since they were able to read the "memories/minds" of those dead sailors...

the spirit gun was BA, but i have to wonder what jack wants

i'll guess he either wants battle strategies, her to quit, or maybe he wants to confess his undying love for sio ( unlikely but possible )

Best episode since 2, we finally she Shio begin to merge with Nobunaga. Good.

Personally I think they can ditch the other members of the group except as mere supporting characters, this show is about Shio, she is what makes it worth watching. I have a feeling they are going to be using Nobunaga's tactics more from here on out, and that is a very very good thing for this show.

Saint-Germain checks on Sio's wellbeing. 2nd platoon talks about their operations. Poor Galileo may not return to the front line.

Meanwhile, Vidocq tries to convince the higher ups for another assault on EIO's nest. His strategic plans were good but they can't take an initiative initiative right away since Tokyo is under attack.

Asao thinks Sio has a thing for Jack. XD

Expected an EIO to attack them. Asao got guts; trying to lure in the EIO.
Saint-Germain was badass; taking on the EIO with his car only. Though, it exploded moments after.

Sio's spirit gun was amazing; calling on Oda Nobunaga directly.
Jack's arrival was badass!

Glad to see Saint-Germain is alive! Asao thinks Jack and Sio makes a good match. XD . Sio's reactions were funny!

Jack approaches Sio. He wants to talk about something..

Next episode: "Dogoo"

Shio and Asao... Their friendship is strong :D.

Some strange power that Shio have with a shot on her finger... badass :D.

Shio and Jack... things are getting interesting.

Sio and Asao :D
Asao has got guts.
Oh yes, Sio has a thing for Jack alright.
Wow, a strange new power.
Good to see Saint-Germain still alive and well.
Eh.. Jack wants to talk to Sio about something huh..

Good episode wasn't quite what I was expecting, I was expecting Asao to awaken into Mitsuhide ( note I haven't read the manga it's just a guess).

Materializing her power without an AU ball, awesome!

I agree with Asao Shio and Jack do match.

Obligatory Spirit Gun/Yu Yu Hakusho joke
Apparently Urameshi's soul is in there along with Nobunaga

But seriously, this episode was a lot better than some of the previous ones

I seem to remember someone stating, in an early episode, that it was theoretically possible for an E-Gene Holder to be able to use their power without an AU Ball.

As expected and as stated in one of the first episode. It's possible to use powers without the ball.

Shio has a spirit gun :D! I was kind of hoping she'd go "Rei Gun!" when she shot it.

I like how they address the social impact that the appearance of Invasion Object has on our daily lives.

People moving off the coast, buying emergency food supplies, etc. This is something that's rarely (if ever) addressed on action anime. The Invasion object also aren't some mindless monsters who can't think for themselves. I seriously can't understand why this series have got such a low score and so much hate. Imo this is one of the better action series I've ever watched.

Curious what would happen to Dogoo next week. Could he be dying??

Love how Sio managed to summon power even without the AU Ball. Wonder if she will be able to transform without it in the future?

Woah, Asao almost gave me a heart attack back there when she tried to defend Sio. I would've been shocked about St. Germain if I didn't research earlier. I do agree that Sio and Adam look good together

Shio's spirit gun reminded me of Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho

Asao is pretty damn brave, glad they made it all out alive.

Wonder what Jack has to say though...

I need more Nobunaga scenes. Even if they are so short they are still sweet to watch.


Asao is so nice and she cares about Sio, I like her.

It's be great if Jack was going to talk about romantic things... but... I'm sure he'll just talk about how she was the only one to realize what the octopus was going to do.

Also, squids and octopi are actually invertebrates as well. Though I'm guessing they really will evolve beyond invertebrates at some point.

3/5

The main plot I am much more interested in the plot, suffice.
Narrative a bit sluggish on the whole, the first part is the most interesting.
Drawings, animations etc. sufficient. ^ _ ^

DAT Spirit gun.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).
