THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode was quite emotional, we almost lost Yoshika and even Lynette, but thanks to some Aeolia style dialog and an awesome new striker, the neruod got what it deserved, death from a pissed off Yoshika. The end was so cute.

That Neroi looked allot like a atomic Bomb.
The Fuso fleet arrives pretty late considering this Miyafuji and Sakamoto have been there for a while already.
They did bring some useful stuff Miyafuji's new striker and a Yamato class warship. (Which was the largest warship class ever build)

Also.

I forgive her for ditching Yoshika remember this is a military anime, I've seen much worse and at least Lynette didn't sleep with a man at the end like a certain girl from another yuri laden anime.

she does have a responsibility to defend the greater masses. miyafuji was out of commission and she had the ability to protect the fleet. to not realize this is quite troubling.


i pretty much knew she was overpowering the striker. i thought she might get a jet powered one but it was still that type.

i guess the neroi issue will not be solved this season. four more episodes and we still haven't seen a mega boss or even a possible last boss.

I'm surprised she didn't end up with the prototype jet striker, but then I remembered that it was destroyed; eitherway the new one still seems like an improvement. I found it weird it seemingly came out of nowhere though =\

Still a pretty good ep o:

Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode (hell, I always enjoy an episode of Strike Witches!) and I really like how they're starting to get more emotionally tied; not long ago we saw an Eilanya based episode. Next seems like a Perrine episode as well as a swimsuit episode.

I didn't realize it until it was said: Yoshika had TOO MUCH power... then it all made sense. The beginning of the episode also screamed foreshadowing at me: "Look, Mio has a new technique! Yoshika will probably learn it and use it to defeat Neuroi in the final episode(s)!"

Speaking of final episodes, we're almost done, sadly... but I am certain that they will be the most action packed of the season, I mean, come on... you gotta have a final battle!

Her new Striker unit has a potential of 32,767 magic power now. :V

Aside from the Striker Unit appearing out of nowhere, and the silly "TOO STRONG FOR THE OLD UNIT", it felt kind of dumb how she couldn't ride the broomstick anymore. There ain't supposed to be a limit for broomsticks. Only the well-trained witches are supposed to be able to ride brooms, right? Something like that.

Strike Witches 2 makes me angry again. How normal. (Is never going to be able to like it)

Her broomstick broke because she was to powerful, which was also the reason why she could not fly with it.
And Brooms can only be used by witches who have very good control over there powers.

Because her magic wasn't as powerful back then as it is now.
Seeing as she was able to control her old striker unit perfectly back then.
And it was malfunctioning now.

Technically speaking Miyafuji couldn't operate it because of safety limiters.
Miyafuji magic was just to overpowered, and the safety limiters prevented her from blowing up her unit.
So i might be contradicting myself here but neither Miyafuji nor her unit where malfunctioning.

Miyafuji's new "Shinden" Striker Unit in reality never was more than an obscure prototype. However it got rearward propellers, so maybe it's even fitting as a Striker Unit.

If Miyafuji gets a new Striker, i want Barkhorn to get her Me262 back...

I have to admit that I actually think that the GAR Yoshika seen in ep 08 was awesome.

Other than that, I guess this was just your ordinary "the plot thickens even though no one has given a flying fuck about it since ep 02"-episode. The "Too strong for the old Striker Unit"-story surprised me. All the way up to the new unit appearing, I was thinking that it's just some psychological issue and it's just all in Yoshika's head.

All in all, entertaining pantsu trolling as usual. The preview of ep 09 was exciting - if all goes well, I'll finally get to see Perrinne actually wielding a rapier (seeing all of that rapier shit in the official art and such gave me certain expectations when season 1 was airing. Needless to say, I was disappointed back then). We'll see how it'll be this time around.

Anyways, another great episode, it's amazing how fast the season goes, we're down to only 4 more episodes, this is usually when the series starts getting more dramatic and serious, hopefully we get a big revelation/surprise.

Also, once again Yoshika manages to grope Lynette at the end, she's really in love with Lynette's oppai...

Miyafuji is still young, it is normal for a girl her age to develop and it probably goes the same way for her magical power: They keep growing.
The old striker unit was able to contain it for a moment but now her power is too great, add to that the determination she got when seeing Sakamoto train she probably pushed her magical output to her limit to be able to learn the reppuzan from her.

Now she wasn't able to ride the broom because of her major lack of control over her power that was stated since the beginning of the serie. She start to be able to use her healing power correctly so do not expect her to be able to control her power as much as a high class witch.
Yes Miyafuji could be able to fly with a broom if she had a very good control over her magical power, now she is just putting a high amount of magic in the broom which lead it to 'explode' withtout having the control to use it properly.

The new unit came out of nowhere, I was loling so much.

I don't think Miyafuji will get any new spell or technique, she'll probably make big ass shield like the one she used to block the nereui this episode and will ram through everything moving with it.

Huh? That's not bitch-like, what are you talking about? Seriously, if the ship you're on is about to be destroyed, then you should save it, right? Lynn probably just saved Miyafiji's life, because if she stayed with Miyafuji, the neuroi would have just blown up the ship. But, if saving her friend is bitch-like, then I agree. How shameful *rolleyes*

Anyways, I agree with the question, how come she couldn't fly the broom? The strikers have limiters, sure, but brooms certainly don't. This basically implies she can't control her powers, making that broom-training episode completely useless. Oh well...

At least they addressed why the new striker worked, but that still doesn't answer why she heard her father's voice (but you know, that could have just been in Yoshika's head) and why it suddenly appeared by itself.
