I'm really starting to think that Demon guy is somehow related to Yukina (her father??)

Looks like a full out invasion type of battle this episode. Action is nice, kinda liked how they are also giving other characters a chance to show their talent in the battle. Mirasa also really underestimated her opponents imo. Efi Dorg fighting dirty, poor Sebastian D:

Best episode so far imo.

Holysh1t of an episode, full out battle fitting for the last few episodes. RIP Sebastian :( but we still havn't see the body yet so there is a slim chance he survive and of course that bitch must be alive also.

That transportation sphere pretty much almost complete, i wonder how are they going to stop Efildog owerwhelming power.

Holy crap, that was such an intense episode! The whole situation just took a turn for the worse. They got completely overpowered by the Efidolg. Sebastian may even be dead now... The wait for the next episode will be such a pain....

Excellent mecha fight this week. I hope that other anime studios will learn a thing or two about 3D animation compositing from P.A. Works.
Now that it is confirmed Muetta is a clone of Yukihime, I think that Yukina are too. They just look too much alike and I don't believe 'genes are strong in this one' excuse.
So that contraption with Yukihime's head actually was a fabricator capable of creating life forms. In last episodes discussion I called it '3D printer' as a joke but it looks like that it is one.

P.S. I wouldn't be surprised is Sebastian survived after Shen just teased us with fancy ejection system they have.

One more question is now answered... No more such "person" named Yukihime anymore, at least not the "genuine" one.
And now, let the invasion begin. That 's an interesting battle between Sebastian and Mirasa. A battle among servant.
Damn that word. LOL

Its stated in the ending of the episode that Shen could escape because her GAUS was the latest model from US that came with the escape pod. Sebastian's one was not equipped with it.

I found it very amusing and funny that Efidolg's shield spear pierced P.A. Works' new building! XD

Aside from that, this episode shows just how overwhelmed Ouma and the GAUS crew were against Efidolg. Despite their best efforts, they have no other choice to abandon the base, and in doing so, abandoning the corner and hinge stones Efidolg were solely after.

I'm glad that Shen okay thanks to her GAUS 3 ejection system. The same can't be said for Sebastian though, who honourably sacrificed himself in order to kill Mirasa. Hopefully she's gone for good now...

It's only a matter of time before Efidolg uses the stones to summon the portal for their main force, but I would guess that it would take time for that to happen. If there's a way that Ouma and Co can strike Efidolg during that phase and prevent Efidolg's ultimate goal from happening, then I hope they'll take that chance and win. =)

Great episode overall and the 3D animation for the fights was excellent!

WHAATT?!? We finally know what the relation between Yukina's father and that demon-masked guy is? Damn. That was surprising. Never thought we'd get more information about her father.

Also that attack is ridiculous. The planet was barely able to defend before. Half of that force would have been sufficient probably.

Did they have to end it like this D: Couldn't they let him sacrifice himself at the beginning of the next episode? >.>

Question, why the fuck are these people acting like idealistic idiots who don't expect the people invading them won't kill or capture them in an inhumane manner? It's literally crazy how they all expect to stay in a "research facility" in the middle of an invasion zone and come out unharmed because of "reasons".

And then they all go nuts because Sebastian died in action. Dudes, what the hell did you expect? That the alien invaders would come in carrying flowers???

And that goddamn Camera virgin. If he doesn't die at the end of this show, there is no justice in their universe. Little fucker needs to die. Pronto!

interesting episode. And it's not over yet. we still have at least 3 more episodes to go. Efidolg has already reached the last piece of the spatial bridging device, and from those brainwashing nanites, its clear that Efidolg intends a fate worse than death for all of earth.

To follow up on L-Ryoshi's post, I'm surprised that more hasn't been done. Given the evidence accrued so far, why has every nuclear missile not been launched at that shield? We already know that at a minimum, tactical nuclear warheads with even a low yield can do enough damage to force Efidolg units to stop for repairs.

We know that other nations, including the US, are mass-producing parts for the GAUS series, so It's a surprise that more haven't been produced.

well this show went from lighthearted to quite the opposite very fast.
They seem to saved some budget early on, especially on the characters faces.

I hope the animation quality steps up again.

Storywise its a bit weird that they thaught they could defeat the enemy with this little force. You would think by now they would have some secret weapon.

Well if Muetta is a clone, then who is Shirahane Yukine and her mother who are indentical to Yukihime also?

Then what is Yukihime, is she really from earth? and the memories of Kennosuke, is it real or engineered?

Nice action but I wasn't really waiting for more CGI robots after this relatively long break.

So.. hum... why did nobody decide to take the warp device elements away from the facility? And why no country launched some (nuclear) missiles as soon as the spaceship started its descent?

5/5 because I am weak.

Meanwhile, MC-chan and samurai-kun are just chillin with Oni-dono in the sky and watch him die because...

Yukina is not main protagonist (MC) of this series, Kennosuke Tokisada Ouma (Samurai) is the main protagonist (MC) of this series, here are official sources: http://kuromukuro.com/special_01.html - http://kuromukuro.com/special_02.html - http://kuromukuro.com/special_03.html - http://gs.dengeki.com/news/65145/ - https://webnewtype.com/news/article/75663/. Yukina is the deuteragonist and the main heroine of kuromukuro. It's a pity, but you simply can't argue with facts and official content provided by the official website this series, G's Magazine and Newtype Magazine.

Kuromukuro is a mecha action series with giant robots (Super Robot and Real Robot), and this type of series throughout its history has always had a PILOT (pilot is the person controlling Mech's movements), who is also a character (struggling, defeating and killing their enemies by his own hands, and with direct and active participation in the action, mech action and Mech battles of the series), focused on action, mech action and mech battles. Deuteragonist's position was the maximum position an non-pilot (pilot is the person controlling Mech's movements), who's also not a action character and doesn't have his focus on action, mech action and mech battles (just like in the case of Yukina) has managed to achieve in a mecha action series with giant robots (Super Robot and/or Real Robot).

These are the four mandatory requirements for being main protagonist (MC) from a mecha action series with giant robots (Super Robot and/or Real Robot).
1) The character has to be a Mech Pilot (Pilot is the person controlling Mech's movements).
2) The character has to be a action character (struggling, defeating and killing their enemies with its own hands).
3) The character has to have a direct and active participation in action, mech action and Mech battles of the series.
4) The character's focus should be on the action, mecha action, Mechs and mech battle.

As you can see, Yukina has none of the four mandatory requirements.

Really exciting episode, the narrative that gives a lot of emotions, not wasted in showing fighting chance and we beat even some plot twist in short good stuff. Drawings and animations, better than good, are smitten after this episode.

I thought the Aliens will follow the useless pattern of sending their mech little by little until their forces where depleted but it seems they wised up enough to attack in mass before they lose every important mech they had.

Btw the humans are idiots. They see a massive number of enemies dissenting on them, they know very well they have little chance of defending the place and yet they don't let Mueta get into her mech and fight with them that also holds one of the most powerful mechs.
Who gives a fuck if you don't trust her enough? Your chances are little anyway. You might as well take a gable on her.

Lol, hadn't thought of that, but yeah.

And @Monad is 100% right: it's not "settling" if what you're settling with is the more mature badass alien clone.

That said, I still don't see how Yukina could have inherited the original Yukihime's genes, even through atavism, when as far as we know the original never had any children of her own.

You'd think they'd lead off with the microscopes mind-control nanabots, but then they have proven to be completely incapable so not really surprising.

Why would they even clone Yukihime? It's not like they've been sending representatives to earth so they needed to look human.

Find it a bit weird with how they treated aliens so far that no-one had any trouble with the alien that does not look like a human.
