I forgot, what's the power of the girl that kissed Sugata? Is it to be able to control the guy she kisses?

Her first phase ability allows her to "charm" whoever she kisses, which is pretty much the same as her being able to control the guy's actions.

Doesn't look good for Sugata, now does it? x.x;

Good good, good episode. Plot is getting somewhere :3

Also, someone with a nice big heart should make a thread containing the whole sam's story (in text form). That'd be helpful, having each part spaced a week I kinda get lost xD

Tid-bit: If you guys hadn't realized, 'Samekh', the name of Sugata's Cybody, is a Phoenician alphabet character. It's the same mark Sugata has on his chest. Looking up the Phoenician alphabet, there are 22 characters, the same as the supposed number of Cybodies.

All the Kiraboshi Juuji-dan members have a corresponding letter appearing on their 'collar' during their Cybody boot-up sequences. Takuto's mark is the last letter in the alphabet.

Wow Sugata woke so early from coma. What I don't understand is how he woke up.
Next episode looks like Takuto is gonna fight with Sugata and lose.

Oh, this show is getting real interesting now...though I find it kind of weird that Glittering Clux just offered him the highest rank when he doesn't know much about them or anything, all he has is the power.

Excellent. My weekly dose of rage. I love you, Star Driver. Despite how retarded you are.

I really hope this isn't going into Gundam Seed territory. I predicted it and I do not want.

TAKUTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-- I mean.. GINGAAAAAA BISHOUNENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

At least, this way, Sugata gets somewhat of a personality. Also, where is my green haired slut and nurse, Star Driver!?

Did your guys forgot about when he approviosed with his cyborg he will remember all the memories and moves from Cyborg and so on.

Glitter Stars sure have exists for a long time.

This might be also something that turn him different or it could be the kissed.

Wow! that a crazy power there. Anyway the way they all fell on there knees in frond of him seems they really want him to be their ruler or something.
So why exactly are they the bad guys again?

Anyway if Sugata will fight Takuto next episode it will be interesting, i want to see if Takuto can get his ass kicked for once.

Btw that swimming girl really was pathetic. She lost easily considering the performance of others.

this is so predictable and cliched .... Takuto beats another random useless Glittlering Crux member. she looked competent and was putting up a fight then loses out of nowhere. so Sugata the only character I liked much gets confirmed as end boss. the lame love triangle continues too. I'm trying to like this, but the story and characters aren't helping. either the kiss or something will make Sugata go bad and yeah the fish girl's story seems to indicate what will happen. I had thought it was talking about Sugata and not Takuto but oh well.

First half was kinda boring, just Takuto going "oh good you want me to stay? You know I'm really insecure like that". So random girl fights with Takuto and loses randomly, even though she seemd really pro. How did Sugata wake up? O_O Uh ... OK ...
I wanted Sugata to join the Glittering Crux! D: That woulda been so cool. No wonder he's my favourite character! XD He's so cool and scary at the end ...
Next episode ... they fight? Sugata better win D<
EDIT: Forgot to say, I totally heard Lelouch in Sugata at the end XD

If their going to fight I completely agree, and I was so happy when Sugata woke up. I like Takuto, but not as much as Sugata, which I have no reason for, that's just the way it is.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

I was surprised Sugata already woke up this early, I though they would drag his waking up around until the middle of the show.. Anyways evil Sugata is here now and that means that in the near future we might be expecting a Fukuyama Jun's evil laugh!! XD

About the preview, I guess the blue cybody is Samekh and I was hoping it would look more FABULOUS than that..

Lame that he woke up in the span of an episode. I mean, I'm not surprised if he could wake up in Zero Time. That's what I postulated. But him waking up in real time again...besides being a main character, what's so different about him compared to his predecessors?

At least mermaid girl's power stayed consistent. Still don't like her, though, with her just being a random insert.

Don't say such scary things! Actually, wait, that might actually help this show. Nevermind. On to making my favorite character a bad guy! Do it! Do it! Do it! Besides, bad guys are always way cooler. ;)

The Fullmetal Alchemist Movie promo is the highlight of this episode.

Looks like the bitch affected Sugata. Good episode with further development.

I thought this would go back to Takuto pawning those nubs cybodies again. Glad I was mistaken.
Oh my God, yes, promo was awesome. Give me more (Please :D). And yes, thank you for more plot development. I'm actually enjoying this show now.

Yeah, looks like they'll face off, which will be cool IMO. As for the naked shot, that was just more shitty fanservice that we don't need.

I lol'd at the "victory" music for the pep talk.
I lol'd even harder at Mame-shiba's chibi Christmas commercial. XD
Why the hell was the pink haired bitch kissing Sugata! Out. Of. Your. League.

Lastly, I guess Sugata has to kill Wako? That's just going off of fish girl's story. I hope I'm wrong, because Sugata x Wako with Takuto as the supporting friend is my favorite outcome. Now it looks like it will be Takuto x Wako with Sugata as the villain.

I loathe the "best friends become enemies" type of development so I was really displeased when they went and did that. Well, it was expected but in the end I was hoping they'd do something else =/. Right now I'd rather they pull some power of friendship/love/bromance/talking with fists/mascot animal/dues ex or whatever it takes to steer away from that path next week.

Aside from FMA trailer and sakana song that I like in this episode, this anime has a bad development I think. I don't mind friend vs friend cliche. But the enemy tried to recruit Sugata was very weird. All of this time they tried to kidnap his fiance and break the seal that she guard and now suddenly they want to recruit him?? Wow. Did they expect him to accept that proposal???

There're already many bad/awkward situations and plotholes that still haven't been answered yet in this anime, instead of focusing in that aspect, they added another awkward moment...

And because of what Sugata become evil? because of the kiss? If the reason is because of the kiss. I don't buy that because of the awkward setup that I mentioned above. Hope they explain this in the next episode.

So Sugata wakes up. That was fast. Preview shows them battling, though Sugata's Cybody isn't very fabulous. I'm gonna think differently and guess that next week's fight will be Sugata trying to test Takuto if he really is strong to protect Wako. Sugata may think that he's strong because he has the King's Pillar. With Sugata's different attitude now, he may think that and it kinda fits, though where the personality change came from is another matter. Just a guess though, since everyone is thinking that he became the bad guy now.
Loving the Monochrome song more and more.

I agree that someone create a thread about Sakana-chan's story of Sam.

Mame-shiba commercial and FMA movie teaser is win.

Why do they use so much stock footage for Zero time? Tauburn's appearance and Takuto's transformation as well as the aftermath. Disappointing.

The rest was quite nice though. I wonder if Sugata will join the Glittering Crux Brigade.

I just noticed that, in this episode When the Crux has their meeting, their legs doesn't move(like when they make a statement, the position of their legs will alter) because the previous episodes they like, move alot ^^

btw, Who is that man, that has been talking to fish girl? I kinda dont get the role of that guy

We've seen that before when she kissed a member of the glittering crux (http://myanimelist.net/character/35612/Tetsuya_Gouda ?) he goes instantly to his Cyboddy ^^

FINALLY, this plot is going somewhere! Also, I like the extra character development when Takuto was wondering whether Wako, Sugata, and him were a trio or a couple with a third wheel. Also, evil Sugata sure is scary.

Although, it seems like Bones got a budget cut for this episode, what with less movement among the Glittering Crux (at meetings, they Glittering Crux girls are always crossing and re-crossing their legs, but not this episode) and the really flat 2D explosions when Ginga Bishounen and freckle girl were fighting in zero time....what gives, Bones?

Can't wait for the next episode.

This is a shoujo, someone needs to change the genre.

All of the trio talk was laughable. Only in a shoujo would a person be happy as a friend while supporting the woman he loved and her boyfriend.

While the first half of the episode was pretty bad, the later half turned pretty good. Although, i am deeply worried that sugata will change from being Standard Shoujo Male Archetype #1 (The rich pretty boy with no personality or emotions) to Standard Shoujo Male Archetype #2 (The Rich pretty boy Tsundere who acts cold but secretly is lonely).

This went from one of my favorite series this season to a mid range series very quickly sadly.

And for some reason, I'm suddenly taking this seriously, instead of just trying to find the most lulz-worthy part in each episode, taking it all as a huge piece of fabulous lulzyness.
I'm guessing this is considered good development.

Also, there was some Sarina in the episode <3 (Still too little though, she should be like... The main main character <3)

I think the fact sugata woke up at all has to directly do with Takuto.. as the Crux stated in the first episode, it was abonormal that Takuto was third phase (as if previous ginga bishounen wern't) Sugata first started waking up when he came into contact with Tauburn.. he finished waking up when Takuto slapped him. What kind of first phase can do all this? one that bends the laws of cybody related matters. With that, he pulled his sword attack off in the real world, goes into what ever level he wants, and can negate others first phases (as it was sugata's which put him into a coma)

Since sugata was already kissed before Takuto slapped him, I believe it won't be as strong as it should of been on him, but just as Takuto had to come into contact with sugata twice to fully awaken him, this will need the extra contact aswell (another slap, or having tauburn beat the crap out of his cybody should suffice)
