Damn, what is Shido in reality? He doesn't seem to have any family memory and he can use the angel power. But I don't think Kotori would kill him, she's not that heartless. Tsundere are always dishonest :P

So everything end in boobs and lewd situation xD
I didn't expected Yoshinon to be in the warship. I'm glad to see that Kannazuki have another utility other than being the masochist of the show. That other cpatain was a dumbass.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

oshit plot twist: Shidou pulls a sword out of his ass.

I mean there probably won't be a significance to if he's just going to use it to get people's attention really so I'm gonna bet that we're going to see his sword once more throughout the series.

Very cliched lines from Shidou and cliched bit at the end where the Yamai twins are suddenly naked like wut. They WOULD add a fanservice bit at the end just to ruin the mood and Shidou gets his ass whooped.

I was hoping this "arc" would've lasted an episode more since I felt that they rushed this a lot and gave Shidou a sword just to progress it faster. BUT, it could just be that his apparent sister would have to assassinate his ass which won't happen because he regenerates or something (He got fuckin' sniped in season 1 and regenerated or something).

Overall, 7/10 seems like a fair score because DEM BEWBS DOE

I think you need to watch that episode again. It wasn't an ass pull. It had been established from the start that Shidou has some connection with spirits, so that he could use a spirit weapon would follow from, not be at conflict with, the story to date (that is what an ass pull is).

That this was "significant" was confirmed in the discussion between his sister and the head of the organization, they were expecting something like that to eventually happen, and it is a trigger for the next stage of the story.

well to be honest if Kotori wanted to kill Shido she could. just cause you can regenerate doesn't mean your invincible, all it would take is a fire blast big enough to destroy him in one hit so regeneration would be impossible.

this would be a last resort in case his powers went out of control.

What a cute episode
though... from the OP i always imagined the new spirits to be captured and turned evil by the bad people..
and I thought the twins were going to get captured when the big battleship showed up.

Can't wait to see the twins in school! I hope they are at each others throat at the same time as I hope they are buddy buddy!

Considering Ellen kicked Tohka's ass and made it look easy when Tohka can take on the other AST, including Origami, with very few problems, I'd say Ellen's pretty powerful. I'm not sure why she was relying on those Bandersnatch mechs, though, aside from numbers/intimidation, since frigging Shido cut a couple of them in half after summoning Sandalphon.

are you fucking kidding me?
do you really watched the anime?

tohka's spirit abilities are sealed by shido, so she can't fully released her combative abilities, kicked tohka's ass huh? i actually hate tohka but there is no doubt that she is the strongest spirit if Ellen and her group are that interested in her

i'd say tohka can beat ellen into a pulp, and she falls for such a childish trap what a moron

We don't know why they are interested in her as of now. Definitely doesn't make her the strongest spirit. Heck there is no such thing as strongest spirit.

But yeah you're right. Ellen wouldn't stand a chance against Tohka at full strength. Ellen wouldn't stand a chance against any of the spirits non sealed from what I can see. The sad thing is that Ellen is most likely the strongest character that isn't a spirit.

how are you so sure that there is no strongest spirit? sure tohka might not be it, but there must be someone out there like the first spirit who appeared, cause kurumi needing shido's power to somehow kill that first spirit

Always thought Kannazuki was pretty useless, but man, he was awesome this episode.

Glad to see the twins survive, guess they'll be living with Shido from now on. Shidou, you lucky bastard xD

Can't helped but be surprised at the very end. Kotori seems pretty nonchalant about killing Shido if need be. Hope that's not the case :(

Amazing episode,probably the best episode so far.I was so happy watching twins crying and saying how much they love each other and want to live :D And that kiss in the end :3 so cute ^^
Wow so Shido can now control partly the power of the spirits wooow! What a boss,that moment when he took the sword and killed those robots :D Finally that ship was destroyed by twins,and their ecchi captain isn't so dumb as he looks like,actually he is very smart xD
Shido is an spirit now too?whaaat xD and Kotori changed from good imouto -> bad imouto,but i doubt that she can kill him because she love her Onii-Chan :)

At the technical level and graph, we are far from the first season, here we have a clear example, not bad action, but this series does not seem to do it meat and fish.
I do not know if it is the best fanservice or the seriousness shown in small part today in this episode.

Well, this episode was kinda weak. It felt like bad mecha genre action in its first half and I didn't like whole resolution with sisters in second. Last season this series had its strong points not in action but in those dates and in funny parodies of genre. But now they are trying to take exactly opposite direction and it really doesn't help as this slowly turns in standard cliche.

I also found Shidou's change kinda cheap. Now, he really is a Spirit (Tohka being princess I bet he is a prince). I bet he also killed Origami's parents and it was him that was recorded as unknown spirit in that video. Such bad story really hurts.

Calm down Shidou, stop yelling pls it's annoying
What's this bullcrap? A sword appears in his hand? lel
I like the twins. Too bad they're supporting so probably appear only in this arc.

Great stuff by Kannazuki. Kotori seems to have confidence in him if she's absent from her command post. She didn't seem concerned that Kannazuki and the crew were under attack.


Yamai twins saved by Shido. Their reaction to being naked after the kiss was hilarious.


At the end of the credits it shows Kotori with some guy. She says she'll kill Shido if things get very bad.

Kannazuki was nice character from the beginning (although only showed his fun side before) and this time he is cool again.

Didn't expect Shido to use the sword but it sure was amazing. And then when they swing it together with Tohka, cool.

The epilogue part with Kotori saying she would kill her brother if it got bad was scary, huhu. Didn't expect that coming from this brocon cutie. It kinda isn't really brought up again so whatever.

Kannazuki is badass. That is all.

So we have Ellen vs Tohka. Tohka lost quickly probably because her powers are sealed within Shidou.
That explains Shidou getting Sandalphon from Tohka.
I wonder if it works with the other Spirits Shidou sealed.

Shidou gives Kaguya and Yuzuru three choices. In return, he gets two kisses.
That seals the twins and makes them naked.
Good job, Shidou! (^_^)

Meanwhile, Kotori is willing to kill her brother. Dun dun dun.

One of the shittiest episodes I've seen in my life. If it wasn't for Kurumi, I would have already dropped this crap like a rock. I don't know why they are trying to pull out a "serious" show, when the funnier and parody-like stories in the first season worked so well. As someone already said, it felt like a low budget mecha anime at times.

I hope Kurumi shows up soon, because that was painful to watch.
