Oh geez poor Kate and Kaori..

The episode was pretty cool imo although it was also a bit sad. Well, the torture scenes were anyways...
The power and dominance this episode though really took a charge. Those eyes at the end, holy shit. Politicians are serious business.

Poor Roboko, she got dismantled to pieces :(

Seeing Kaori's past was sad. You can see why she has a hatred for Goro. Can't wait fro the next episode.

So they finally revealed it, that Kate/Venera is not a kid, and she has been the ruler for a long time.

Also, the Chief is dead. It is sad.

And that Renge and Asuta moment. Aw she was rejected.

Wow, these last few eps have been consistently awesome. Really nice atmosphere going on here.

Loved those mini flash backs about each character with Kaori and Goro (is he seriously dead? Can I take what Kate said in the pv as a foreshadowing?) Damn, Yasu has really betrayed them.

Asuta's dad as well. What the hell is this guy? The flash back with Asuta's mom was....intriguing?

And Kate is really ancient or what? Interesting.

The RengexAsuta momenta were nicely done. Poor Renge.

Natasha's tears are the origin of those creatures? I wonder if she'll rebuild Roboko with them?

Well lets see what Asuta will do to get them out of the situation?

Kate's been conquering for quite some time it seems.

Yasu and Asuta's dad are jerks.

So closing to having a romance between Asuta and Renge, don't think it'll happen now.

Hopefully the team can reassemble and achieve world conquest.

Great episode, my one hope now is that Renge won't give up after being rejected, joining Zvevda in order to pursue the dream she mentioned this episode. (That is, living on the run with Asuta forever)

Gogo Kate! Renge should go and help them too since they're in a tight spot.

Anyway, this anime has 12 or 13 episodes? It's ending on the 29th yet it shows 13 episodes in MAL.

This means Kate is a few hundered years old?
I can't believe that the chief is dead, he's just unconscious, he has to be.
And it seems Asuta rejected Renge-chan. Still rooting for them though.
I also still believe that Yasu will find his path again.
May the light of Zvezda shine throughout the world!

Renge x Asuta... I'm supporting you guys, make it happen :D.

Wow Asuta's dad is a selfish bastard, by ignoring his family and having some tyranny inside of him.

Koari's backstory was good, at least it explains on why she hated Zvezda where her sister was killed by them.

Damn, seeing Roboko dismantled, makes me hate the government even more.

Let's see how the story progress, it gets intense later on.

The mysteries deepen still.

There's Kate's real age.

There's the unconfirmed relationship between Tsubaki and Gorou DESPITE their shared last name (is that how Kaori treats her uncle?).

There's that odd question Natasha asked Kaori (How old are you?) as well as her tears turning into those thingies.

There's Asuta choosing zvezda over Renge despite the fact that he clearly loves her and pretty much confessed (she noticed) and also Renge's own feelings for him 9"I got rejected" she says...never got the feeling she loved him back. Makes things interesting)

There's Yasu's betrayal and relationship with Kaori.

And the most infuriating and biggest mystery of all: WHO THE FUCK IS ASUTA's SISTER????!!!!

In truth this show makes less and less sense, has quite a few things that just might be plot holes and is just weird.

But somehow it...works...

I don't understand it.

Ah the " I cant stay with u because of my dream" cliche.

I could totally imagine Asuta and Renge being like tat old couple who owned the spa, maybe tat was a foreshadow

also its said that the city was an independent state. Did japan went into another Sengoku era?

Light satirical jab at the end there, crazy man politics and aint being human.

this show just.....works, i guess even though i cant tell wat is the actual story or point of it and the character exploration is minimal for a drama/adventure while there arent that many jokes or satire to make it a comedy.

Kate stopped growing the day she decided to conquer the world? O.o

KuriMi saves Asuta and Renge.
That mysterious lady with cigarette.. I think Yasu met her before..

Damn.. Natasha is being blackmailed by Kaori. Poor Roboko..

Yasu seems to be a traitor for real. -.-
Kaori's flashbacks about Goro.. I hope he's not dead yet..

Seems like a key person is supplying for Kate and Itsuka!

Asuta flashbacks about his mom and dad. Quite a sad story..

Kate & Itsuka appear before the governor. Damn you, Yasu.. -.-
Those little creatures form from Natasha's tears! Hopefully, they'll be of use to her in rebuilding Roboko and escaping.

Renge X Asuta moments were nice. :) She probably likes Asuta by now.

Galaktika (Kate's weapon) is destroyed. Poor Kate..
Governor seems to have his own power as well..

Great episode. Those moments with Asuta and Renge in the roof were cute, sad that she felt rejected.
I wouldn't have thought this would take a serious, darker tone. Natasha's torture, Roboko's dismantling and Goro in the morgue were surprising.

Ahh so that's what Kate meant when she said she didn't choose to be a kid. Now I wonder what Natasha meant when she asked Kaori how old she was. It just seemed random.

Haha so that bastard Yasu really betrayed them. So so wrong of me to hold even a sliver of hope that he didn't turn. He has always been a turncoat anyway so even if he does something out of character - meaning something decent - he'll always be a crappy character.

So the Kurus are Natasha's tears?! How?! XD! Looks like it's time for a Zvezda counterattack though, wonder what her glasses do O_o

And Asuta's dad is one evil antagonist. I really hate that guy. And f**k, Yasu you traitor! You're disgusting, man..

This was a very great episode! From the cute moments on the roof between Asuta and Renge to Natasha's torture & Roboko's dismantling up to the Zvezda's remaining members opposing the Governor. Even the Governor seems to have some mysterious powers.. His eyes are glowing. o_o

Renge's been rejected. Aww.. :(

I really can't wait for next episode! Big fan of Kate here, lol. I'm always cheering for you, Venera-sama!!

They're not really mysteries per-se, and half of that I don't think they're going to explain, for example, things like Kate's real age that would make her actually less interesting if they give us a canon number. Also, I thought it was taken for graned that Goro and Tsubaki were husband and wife? O.o


~~~~
on a side note, it breaks my heart that Yasu betrayed Zvezda, not because I care about that, but simply because now he's getting haters ;-; dammit. biases stopping me from hating their characters >w<

So Kate is indeed from the Ancient Udogawa civilization.

Damn that Yasu. This series has been mild when it comes to blood but I hope that guy gets slaughtered or at least decapitated by Pamlya.

I wonder what Asuta's dad has become. A robot? doesn't seem likely.. maybe a cyborg.

Why does Renge feel she's rejected? she can still be with Asuta no matter what path he chooses. It's not like he can just suddenly call her "Renge".

It's the most obvious development ever, but I also want it that way. It keeps getting harder to hold on to that idea though. I think he might not be a DA, but actually might have a change of heart instead...

I'm not saying that it was time to do so, the plot could well continue with the duality seen so far and that has made the intriguing story, the fact is that narrative involves me and not a little! : D
Do not end right now! D:
Plot that puts a touch of seriousness that makes bad history, poor roboko!
Magnificent designs and animations worthy of the above.

well he is already kinda like him except muscles. I doubt there is too much good left in him as he was ready to kill his son without a second thought. There was a hint that he might have betrayed his wife(I think Kaori might be Asuta illegitimate sister)

Though he might be cruel, selfish and evil it make him kinda interesting. Believing in power only those that are weak, naive, without their own principles must be crashed.

People really don't pay attention, I guess. They revealed a long time ago that Kate was a lot older than she looks. It was around episode 5 or 6 I think. They had flashback where she looked the same as she does now and Natasha I believe it was, looked the same age as Kate. Really peeves me that people missed such and important scene back then...Pay better attention! This "Revelation" was nothing new!

Anyway, next episode looks like the last and I cant wait for Kate to take over the world.

I really want to learn more about Kate's back story! She's obviously from the Ancient Udo civilization, but how did she become unable to age? However, the way they did the transition was interesting, it took me awhile to figure it out, but it was a cool one!

It was nice seeing more about the back story of Goro as well, its all coming together, even if he might be dead... I know Yasu is a traitor, but my gut feeling is that he's a plant by Kate to bring the enemy down.

The Asuta x Renge moments were really sweet. I expected her to take his mask and kiss it before giving it to him. Them sleeping together was cute, I hope to see that develop over the next few episodes. This series has gotten so much better lately!

Nah people were already speculating about how Kate must be some kind of immortal being after Natasha's episode. I just think nobody expected Kate to be THAT old. The setting's like straight out of THe Lost City of Gold lmao.
