Nice episode. But I hope they change the pattern of the show because it's getting repititive. Not to mention the fight fights are getting boring. I hope Sakana-chan comes back soon because I miss her song. =(

Man, they're twisting all those phases, i'm confused. But leaving that aside, baseball match was just great, i lol'd few times and it was overally enjoyable. Mizuno's very cute too~. ^^
Fight was... meh. It's really getiing repetitive, but at least we've got some Mizuno singing to it, so i can overlook it, this time.

OK, so I still don't get what first, second, third phases are. It was NEVER EXPLAINED CLEARLY ... is ALL IT IS is an ability you can use outside of zero time? Is that IT? O_O

It was explained very clearly what they were. They said it out loud in the first few episodes.
AmberFebruary said:
geez, what is ''Third Phase''?

in episode 9, Stick Star said he could have won in a fair fight. (second phase vs. takuto in third phase)

Back in episode 2, they've commented how smooth Tauburn moves because it is in third phase.

First Phase=human proportion abilities usable outside of zero time.
Second Phase=CYBERCASKET and controlling a Cybody mechanically
Third Phase=Riding a Cybody like Takuto, no controls, with the Tauburn immitating all his moves.

What he said. Also, just in case, they said that fourth phase is being able to use Cybody's in the real world, outside of Zero Time.

So where the explanation to why Takuto seems to know everything yet know nothing? Don't tell me that his grandpa told him to cheat and jump to lvl3 and pull shit out of hi ass like no tomorrow, just to own everyone for the sake Igarashi knows.

yea they haven't even shown Takuto's past on how he got the mark and stuff. Like also who are the two people with Takuto in the photo he has. I think all of this will be shown once his dad appears or something.

level 3 oh god is mentioned already in episode one just as soon Takuto rode Tauburn

why takuto is in level 3? because he has the ''TAW'' mark in his chest, the same as what happened with Sugata, also with a mark in his chest, when he took over Scarlet's Peshent in episode 8, he controlled it in level 3 phase.

and back in episode 3 when Head is talking to Takashi after the fight, he mentioned ''how does it feel to fight in the Cybercasket even though you have the mark?'' showing that the mark in his chest can enable him to fight in a Cybody w/o the use of Cybercasket like Takuto.

and nothing is revealed yet about Takuto's past, his grandpa, and those persons in the picture in his watch and in the pictures on his room's table.
Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch.

That we will have to wait until we know about Takuto's past and how he learned how to fight from his grandfather.

Ok this show would be awesome if not because of the unfitting music and the reused scene.
New song was nice and all but I think that the scene seemed weird with it, because the song would fit another mood.

liked this ep..

not much not-so-good scenes. :P

so, takuto is supposed to be as bishie as sugata? i find sugata more attractive, thank you very much.. hahaha.. yeah he's ginga bishonen, but that doesn't mean he'll be on top of my list, :P

i miss fish girl.. i think i liked her song better.. but then, i think mizuno's song will grow on me.. :))

The kiss probably had no effect because he only loves Wako. The change is probably because Takuto beat him in the fight and proved that he is worthy to protect Wako and someone to be trusted.

1. I love the new song, but not as good as Monochrome, and it did not fit with the battle (still a great song)

2. These battles are far too short and repetitious, give me more of the sugata vs. takuto type fights.

3. I love the romance and mizuno is now officially better than wako. Her sister is growing on me as well.

I believe his personality hasn't changed per se, but rather, it has been revealed. He seems to be a prideful person and hates losing, especially to Takuto.
Recent examples: At the end of this very episode, Sugata says, "You only need a backup in baseball," or something similar to this. Also, for the last two episdoes, in which he is now able to go inside the Zero Time(?), he attempts to interrupt the battle by trying to summon his Cyberbody, only to be stopped by Wako.

I thought this episode was good and I really like Mizuno. I really think she and Takuto would make a better couple. I like Wako too, but I prefer Mizuno and Takuto.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Ugh. I really dislike the twins. Mizuno is your textbook anime bubble-head girl, and Marino has, really, no personality besides liking all the same things Mizuno likes. The magic spells aren't cute, they're gimmick-y.

I really, really miss Fish Girl and "Monochrome." ;_;

Keito/Ivrogne is Sugata and Wako's childhood friend? Interesting...! I wonder how she feels being "replaced" in the trio by Takuto? I, too, am beginning to speculate she is the fourth Maiden.

Oh, well. Thank goodness for MORE Mrs. Watanabe next episode! Fingers crossed she is the boss battle we wait all 26 eps for. She is so cool/sexy/sultry.

* Screams loudly * Apprivoise!!!... Now what happens? Give me a chibi Takuto? XD
Episode nice, well managed in the narrative until the fateful clash, oh well.
Technical and design level.
Plot? Tsk, does not advance an inch! ^^ "
Not bad OST, also the priestess of the West sings well.

MIZUNO'S SONG WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

It could never replace Monochrome, but her song is so cheerful and whimsical just like her nature! I absolutely LOVE IT.

If Mizuno does not end up with Takuto, I will be very VERY upset.

The baseball game was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the engrish along with it.
Wako doesn't seem to be interested in Takuto romantically very much. At least I hope this is the case. Cause then poor suga-chan would be alone.

The last line about the two sisters always liking the same thing was heavy. I liked it.

Nice, nice!

No the new song the new pinks wasn't my liking at all. But the battle was amazing.

I can see a possible love polygon out here! I think on the other hand I can also foresee what can see due to this and that.

Opening with a bassball game. One of the Kiraboshi members just used Cybody powers during it...

The battle in this episode was really cool. So Mizuno, who is also a shrine maiden, can also sing to activate zero time? Or is it actually just activated by the electric bier and characters have been singing coincidentally when it happens, just to give music to the fight scenes?

Weren't just for show, the back skirt of Tauburn consists of remote weapons like funnels from Gundam. So awesome.
