Luca being replaced by an android was certainly an interesting twist. Coorie's new look, the thing with Kane and Ririka's meddling are spicing up this arc as well. (Too bad that the previous arcs weren't this gripping...)

I don't think it's a "new" look. It's one she doesn't like to be in. She seems very comfortable in her pjs and geek glasses. I'm surprised she hadn't become a fatty with all the snack food she eats while working. Must be her metabolism. ;)
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Great episode, so many indications of a probable season 2 because 2 episodes is not enough at all for a complete war. It seems that there a lot of undercover agents and what not on the ship. I'm looking forward tot he next episode.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Co-Co-Coorie????!!
Couldn't really believe it at first XD I would have never guessed that was she in the beginning!

For a moment I thought that Misa would shoot Kane! Instead of him, she shot a Luca android XD But Kane is yet to reveal what he's hiding. I saw a Kane android too!!!! Who's the real one?? -.-''
Next episode we'll see some more pirates!

Wow, interesting developments!

Very surprised to see Coorie looking like that, unbelievable. Didn't expect Luca to be the spy and Kane's still suspicious.

What a twist with Ririka being on the same ship as the masked captain! It's getting hot towards the finale!

That's Coorie!? NO WAY! It's so hard to believe!

Masked Captain is obviously his Dad and probably watching out for her.

I thought that was Kane's twin brother and it was all a set up to get Luca to reveal herself.

Didn't realise that was coorie until i read it here though!!!

Given how Marika keeps running into high ranked people is there any chance the captain of the Grand Cross is someone in the Imperial family of the Empire?

It could be all of this is to reestablish the pirates and the field test is just a ploy intended to get them mobilised?

When I first saw the episode where both ships were introduced I assumed Ironbeard was going to secure command of the pirates and the Grand Cross is just another ship in his fleet so they would get control over this sector's pirates, next episode should explain a lot of things!

It is always interesting and exciting to see what Marika is going to with the crazy situation in front of her.

And this show needs like 26 more episodes. I hope more seasons are coming after this one ended.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

So, the Grand Cross is testing out its abilities using pirate ships since they aren't of importance anyway, being reduced to mere entertainers at this time. Of course, Marika won't put up with this.

Sorry pressed the wrong button, finally got back and got the right button this time!!!

She took one look and remembering everyone at the pirate nest tends towards archaic dress or casual and realised that the woman she was looking at obviously wasn't aware that nobody aboard would be able to afford that much high class gear and given the sparkling effect that left only the possibility she wasn't a pirate after that it became obvious.
Still Marika being Marika caught the Grand Cross girl off guard didn't she?!

Still leaves the question about how she got aboard doesn't it?

Did she tag along with the Benten or another ship to get aboard the pirate nest or has she got transporter tech to fall back on?

Obviously next time Marika is going to demonstrate what happens when you cross her after scratching the paint work on her inherited pirate ship!

I suspect she'll catch it in a crossfire making sure to coordinate her pirate fleets' efforts so the Grand Cross can't take them out one by one eventually forcing it to go after her and THEN she'll catch it in a trap maybe drop a few mines or something that'll impair its gravity field assisted flight perhaps laid out in advance and by that I mean they don't activate unless something that messes with gravity fields comes into range...

But that would be a little too nasty so she'll probably have cooked up something else!

What the hell has Coorie been hiding from us!? Holy smokes... I couldn't believe my eyes.

This episode was great, there sure was a lot of things I didn't see coming. I wonder when Luca was replaced by that android and where the real one is. And just what is Kane up to? I am assuming its got something to do with that galactic pirate. And oooh Ririka just got on that ship and they're heading to the pirates nest.

Given they were held in isolation after getting infected would make an ideal time to make the switch since otherwise they would have discovered Luca was an android then and there.

A strong episode with some great and intense moments. Favorite scenes: Coorie in "disguise" she is hawt; Chiaki-chan embarrassed by her dad (Hanazawa Kana angrily shouting was so worth it). Ririka on the unknown guy's ship? It seems so obvious that it is Marika's father that the real twist would be if he turned out to be a completely irrelevant person. Kane and Luca...I wonder how this will turn out...

Quite a setup for the last episodes, I hope it delivers because at some times this show raised my expectations, but failed to deliver. I'm hoping for the best. 5/5.

An android of Luca being a spy, we don't know where the real Luca is and there's still two Kanes? How can this be resolved in two episodes?! Really looking forward to the ending of this.

First reaction, Coorie....did not see that coming.

Second, Luca was a spy. For how long and where is the real Luca?!

Third, Ririka is working on Ironbeard's ship?!?! Guess that's confirmation that its her father.

Fourth, there are 2 Kane's? Wait....the gym teacher...oh crap he's a twin.

Definitely Marika's best episode :)

She really has become an amazing captain in such a short time.

The way she handles all these decisions, patience as well as the strategic thinking.

She really is the daughter of Ririka :D

I just wish she calls Ririka her mother(Okaasan). It just feels weird how Marika keeps calling her mother directly by name.

Coorie being sexy as hell as well as knowing her computer skills? Perfect combination ^^

Also this Luca was fake!?! And its actually an Adroid??

Ririka is with her husband? The mask guy :P

Oh wow, so Ririka is in cahoots with the captain of the Parabella, the captain of the Grand Cross is revealed, Luca has been an android spy, and there's a fake Kane?? Geez o.o

I was jokingly making a conspiracy like “Yo Kane looks kinda sus, but imagine if Luca who's following him is actually the spy LOL” without really believing it, but then low and behold... xD

The pirate hunter is wrong they're not really pirates. Their raid for just a show and they even dress up for it. At best they act as escorts/guards for other ships and half the galaxy hasn't even heard of them. Marika had no clue about them.
