hmmmm, I think I get it. I wanted to think that Head was Takuto's dad, but that didn't initially make sense when they look the same age. There are still a lot of questions, but this answer did a damn good job of moving things forward.

One of only a few things was how the whole eye incident was handled. Ryosuke was just so cavalier about ripping out his eye. We didn't even get a good painful scene of him right after or anything. I thought that would have been addition, since the trio from the past seemed so damned unnaturally reserved.

Oh yeah, had to watch this twice because I just had a little trouble digesting that Takuto's dad was an ageless, bisexual male version of Utena. It's just kinda wild.

I think pretty much everyone gets why Head doesn't age... my question was about why the dude in the coma didn't seem to age either... I suppose he was also stuck in Zero time as well.. ?

lol a lot of this question i see around this thread, my guess goes like this...

something went wrong on the mark transfer between Head and Shingo (the gay or coma guy) and that trapped part of their soul in Zero Time and we know that Zero Time means time is stopped at the real world so aging stop for them in the real world too

I bet Head and Shingo not aging has something to do with Shingo's first phase. Also, I'm really missing the maiden insert songs at the beginning of each battle. Those songs really set the mood.

The love triangle that Takuto's mom was in kinda made me angry. Just seemed messed up. Maybe I'm just getting too worked up about this.

It was a VERY frustrating love triangle; I wasn't exactly upset, but it was definitely twistedddd... sounds like Takuto loves his grandpa & had a good childhood though, so not all sadness came out of it, but still...

I feel sorry for Ryousuke with that twisted triangle love
The Head (AKA Tokio/Reiji Miyabi) doesn't realize he had a son.............
Which is more frustrating.

Head is Takuto's father WAT O_O
Anyways, his past is ... interesting? A bit confusing though. Feel bad for his friend who clawed out his own eye X_X Sora was kind of useless, I mean mistakenly thinking he didn't care but whatever lol. So who's that guy who's asleep? Doesn't Head already have his friend's mark? Why does he need another one? O_O
I liked him better without knowing this lol >_<
Anyway, so another useless battle. Tau Missle is horribly embarrassing to watch. Which reminds me, if that girl can jump out of the balls so easily, why do people never come out of them? Can you not control them? You can't break them or push people out of them? I swear I've seen them jostle around and not be affected a bit ...

Damn, Ryousuke was pretty hot when he was younger.

Also, is it weird that I found the Ryousuke/Sora/Head triangle more interesting than the current trio? I seriously wouldn't mind if SD would have been about them instead.

Great episode though.


Not the only one. I actually don't think the current triangle is necessary at all. Wako should of just ended up with Sugata or alone, and Takuto with someone other than her, preferably mizuno(my preferance), but really anybody but Wako. I really can't bring myself to like Wako. Anyways, the episode was good, and the info was a lot, so I'm looking forward to more. Yay! I get to see Sakana again, now if they can show Mizuno again, it would be complete.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Shocked and surprised again at scene when Sugata kissed Wako while Takuto is watching! And so touching episode first of all I hate triangle love. I'm f*cking shiit hate that Tokio he steals a woman from Ryousuke I'm sure he didn't love her.
I don't like Sora at all she cheated on her husband and she was naked front of Tokio just only for painting. Pfff!!! This show turned to romance now? Too sad for ryou

We've gone off the deep end now!

Well would you look at that.
Tokio had a boy toy on the side. That's the most surprising thing out of all of this tbh.

Not surprised about Tokio being Takuto's dad. (You get small spoilers along the way when you come on here whilst you're marathoning a show.)

5/5

The triangle is in the DNA! XD
Episode intriguing part of the plot concerning the revelations, is pretty substantial, leaving some questions still outstanding, good.
Narrative that shows the changes tasty, the series does very well when it comes to the history of the characters, a little less when it comes to combat mecha, too bad!

Tokio is way more interesting than Takuto, Wako, and Sugata combined. His backstory is something this series needed a long time ago.

I thought with the viper bite, Takuto would finally lose a match, but nah, he's even got the enemies helping him out. This show was a lost cause from the start.

That kiss from Sugata on Wako's cheek means nothing, Takuto my boy. Because you're the main character, Wako is inclined to have stronger feelings for you. Ugh.

I'm surprised you guys were right about Tokio being Takuto's father. I thought he would end up being his brother. Looks like you guys get to see your precious "fish girl" next episode. Although that nickname makes it sound like she smells bad...

Reiji/Tokio is Takuto's dad... and we know from Professor Green/Hina that a possible phase power is eternal youth...

Takuto's mother, Sora, was in a relationship with Ryousuke (who wears an eyepatch in the present) before meeting Tojio.

The watch Takuto keeps was a gift from his mother and originally from his mother's ex...
