----------------------------------------


Hmm, let's see this episode...

  • A lot of battles still going on.
  • Tori is still naked some 2000 feet in the air with Horizon.
  • Coins flying around like no tomorrow.
  • Those moe dog like creatures.
  • The epic firey baseball pinch.

    Ya, Horizon ftw. Too bad next time will be the finale :(

Money falls from the sky, Shirojiro wears money clothing and finally.... he can even shoot RAILGUN!!!!
Damn it, money power is so scary.

The ending scene between Gin and Muneshige is so touching.
Muneshige looks so cool, his 2 losses made me forget how strong he is, but he defeated Gin who Futayo has a hard time dealing with her so easily. So, he is strong afer all.

And his fighting style moves a lot, which is always nice to the eyes. XD
So far his weapon, Lype Katathlipse is also the only direct attack (cutting and blast) DSA compared to the other supportive devices (disarming, binding, energy production).

They really fit in so much fight, it felt like this episode lasted longer than the previous.

Well, Shakespeare's Aspída Filargyría is still a proper shield, and I bet Juana's Akidía Katáthlipsē can also cut something, it's just that both are not used in direct fights.

I am confused about Gin's arms. In the flashback, Her arms are cut off by Gin and then during the battle between Futayo, her arms is intact and one arm sliced again?

I'm guessing that with their technology they can re-attach them?

Just when I thought this series couldn't get any better...it gets better.

And the sex joke continues! Everyone gets a piece of the action in this episode, basically. Even Nenji, Kenji, and Ginji got some screen time, and then Noriki finally makes an appearance from his hiatus since ep. 1. Toori's "they're just being tsundere" was hilarious, but again he's shown why he's the MC by being the moral leader more or less.

Great battles all around (the power of money is indeed very scary). And I like how this series does so much with one episode without feeling rushed at all. Gin's flashback was just endearing as it showed how she and Muneshige got together. Onto the last episode! I'm practically praying for a S3 announcement by this point.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think there was a part where Gin mentioned she was supposed to inherit the title of Tachibana Muneshige, but Muneshige came out and defeated her. I suppose it relieved her of the pressure to gain and uphold that title. She may never have wanted it and Muneshige essentially carried that burden in her place.

dury said:

I believe that may be a mistranslation on English subs. The way I understood it was that Gin had a flashback of Muneshige cutting off her arms upon defeating her, which Futayo was about to do after breaking both her swords. Since Futayo defeating Gin in the same manner as Muneshige would theoretically put them on the same plane, Gin would rather announce defeat than to let Futayo proceed. It's a sentimental gesture since she wanted to keep Muneshige's place unique.

Again, I haven't read the LN so this is speculation from the anime alone...

This was a great episode that had appearances made by like everyone, including that curry guy lol, fried rice it is! And they decided to start the ep off with the sex joke again, god damn... they did it around 50 times rofl. That was also a great yandere face by Gin when she finally had enough.

That fight with Naomasa turned out to be quite epic and I just love the bg music in this anime, which makes everything even more awesome. Ahhh they finally reveal something more about Naomasa and =/ her past seems to be quite said with her sister sacrificing herself like when she was on the verge of dying (or at least thats what I got from it). Futayo and Gin's fight turned out to be quite epic too, hoping they reveal more about what happened with Gin/ Muneshige later on.

Love the way that Shirojiro uses those coins to fight, and haha he's got himself a suit of money armor. Props to that vice chancellor too with the way he stayed till the end. It was nice to see Walsingham and Nate working together, they are a good pair. And teehee all the students in Musashi are just tsunderes.

Everyone loves the tsundere, but nobody even comment on the “Tres Espania Tres Espania Henares Henares” ? ^^;
They already looks like it since the end of season 1, the kind of school that’s famous for the sports team…

In comparison, Musashi is like the underdog public school where Jump heroes went to

So many epicness in this episode here are my thoughts so far:

Futayo without pony tail is HOT!, love the fight scenes between her and Gin, Epic might be overused but I think there's no other word to describe it but this.

I never thought Shiro would be that badass, as I was expecting him to fight the same way he did when fighting Naomasa on S1, and that final shot was amazingly executed.

Neito and Walsingham now working as allies? that's epic, and I really like that robotic doll, and her mouse was friggin' cute.

I thought the episode would be about Mary's new life in Musashi since the title of this show was "Where the one scarred by sword belongs" but we only spot her being carried by Tenzo with no speech nor proper screentime, but the episode is filled with action and comedy so it doesn't matter that much anyway

gosh I miss Shakespeare now, why didn't she show up at all? if would be awesome if should at least assist Neshinbara or be carried by him when coming down from that musashi vessel.

Gin - another Hottie in this show, she really looked cute without those huge mechanical arms, with all those amazing weapons she pulled I was thinking she could've put Futayo in a major trouble but futayo defeated her easily, It's a shame but nonetheless It was a great fight, and I feel sad for her loss in all honesty.

Noriki lost? what the? can someone explain/refresh my memory how he lost the fight? at least he put a good show there. it's enjoyable anyway

I was thinking Mary would show up in this episode and fight using her shiny twin excalibur swords, but maybe they'll use that on next (final) episode.

Toori was hilarious as always, but anyway I'm not expecting him to be as badass as he was on S1 in this season.

Jizuri Suzaku vs Michibiki Byakku fight was too short, I wanted more of it. besides I can't say Naomasa soundly defeated Byakku's master there. we still lack proper mecha vs mecha fight in this anime :sigh: Now we have Wang Liu Mei eh... no... Naomasa's brackground story which is quite sad and interesting to me. hopefully S3 will bring more explanation to this as well as Naruze's backstory.

Now as for Honda's misunderstanding, the situation's got worse and on top on that more hilarious, i can't stop laughing over the 50 times sex, LMAO (wished there was a smiley support on this forum. the fact that Gin's being voiced by Tsumugi.... eh no, sorry.... I mean Kotobuki chan makes me think of Fram Nara of Gun-damAGE and reimagine things if such situation happened between Zeheart and Fram. well let's move on...

Margott fell from her broomstick but I think her fight doesn't end there yet, how about the spoiler scene on the OP when she fought her tres espana counterpart with gurren lagan wings style?

I was glad even the most useless musashi members in this anime got their purpose fulfilled, except for that lolicon fatass who fell, LOL at Nenji and Incubus wreaking "havoc" on tres espana ships!

I don't know why but I think Asama is getting cuter for each episode that airs, despite her short screentime seeing her smile that that makes me drool :P

Oh how I love Adele, she's too cute to ignore everytime she makes Moe scenes like that. :D

overall I'd give this episode 9/10 it will get perfect 10 id not for the short fight between Naomasa and Byakku.

Futayo with her hair down looks nice somehow it gives her more of a bad girl appearance.
And Gin without those mechanical arms was also a pretty good sight.

The vice president of Tres Espana was pretty capable with the bat and he didn't want to surrender which nearly cost him his life luckily was him his friends saved him.
It was a nice battle tho.

Because they were "playing baseball", his batting got caught by Pedro so he's "out".

But The Valdez knew that they "lost", when Noriki managed to hit their ball.

Futayo's continued sex joke was nice, and Gin's reactions were almost as great as the end of last episode (far cuter, but not quite as impactful). In fact, I must profess that Gin's always been my favorite (female) character, and I'd been praying to see her without those hideous mechanical arms, even if just in fan art. I am not disappointed, and that alone made the episode worthwhile. The touching scene of her and Muneshige was just icing.
Kenji and Nenji's "friendship" after getting launched onto the TE ship was another highlight, especially with Tomo's reaction.

The rest of the episode, surprisingly, had little to gripe about - the only thing was Noriki's fight with Pedro & Flores - if they're "playing baseball," cherry-picking rules seems, well, beyond cheap. If catching the ball he hit made him "out," then the first "batter out" call was inappropriate on multiple levels, and he's technically been walked since he was "hit by a pitch." Besides that, admittedly, extremely minor gripe, the fights were decently concluded, and we have the stage set for a conclusion.

Copy from randomc.net:
Noriki battle, Noriki’s fist touched the first 2 shots, first shot that bent the steel plate in his vest give him the angle of the pitch, second shot he stepped backed to judge when he can full extend his arm and the speed required to make full contact. The stance he took is a batting stance that help speed up swing and force by stepping forward and shift center of gravity, same concept exist in martial arts as well. Valdez Siblings’ spell St.Elmo’s fire el fuego is base on offering charity, both pitches cannot arrive to the enemy at the same time, because it is not charity if you give all you had to the other, and it is not the best charity if you don’t leave the other a hand to receive more charity. The 2 pitch goes through a process that they as their path seemingly fuse into one, they enter a spell specific space where the power and trajectory of one pitch is offered to the better pitch. One pitch arrives at the enemy as the best possible pitch, the other returns harmlessly to the pitcher. Noriki saw through the truth and hit the better pitch before their trajectories fused, that breaks the spell and the entrance into spell created space and the offering of one pitch to the other did not occur. All 3 times, the little sister’s pitches were the best, and the head on hit send it back where it came from. To save his little sister, the brother caught the line drive out and broke his hand, but preserve the sibling’s victory. Though they didn’t pull out because of that, the pulled out because Musashi is accelerating and their small ship can no longer stay attached without sustaining terrible damage.

Kenji is and incubus that does exactly what his names suggest and suck energy, Neiji was there to prevent escape.

Think of the old man’s a ability as an augmented reality app, he needs too see the whole picture and what he add does not do direct damage to the actual thing, only phenomenons created by the spell.

Four Sacred Gods of War each has it’s own ability akin to reality marbles of Fate, Michiyuki Byakko has “road”, Jizuri Suzaku’s is “lake.” If you as why is it “Lake” when it appeared as the sky, it is meant to be a reflection and endless. Technically the Sacred Gods of War should all be semi-automatic intelligent machines and requires no pilot, you give them a command, they figure out what to do, which is why it was surprising that Jizuri Suzaku has a person in its chest. Up to this point Jizuri Suzaku was never properly activated, so Fusahide called it a fake. It’s been driven by Naomasa’s sister following her command, since she replaced a large amount of Jizuri Suzaku’s AI functionality, but once she is exposed, in order to protect her Jizuri Suzaku’s OS finally activates which activates the “lake.”

Tachibana Gin’s other pair of prosthetic came from the cross-shaped boxes that she was carrying, they fall off because Gin no longer has arms to support them on her back, and as it falls to the ground, box opens and the arms attach. It’s not very clear because usually attention is diverted by her large prosthetic and the elaborate clothing design of the Horizon world, but if you look at her in the beginning of the episode and compare it to her character design sheet, you’ll see 2 thing that was sticking out her back. They had to condense a lot of the past into the ED. Tachibana household is known for it’s ridiculous martial prowess and strength, Gin wanted to take over as head of the household eventually, so she dedicated her life into becoming as strong as possible so that she can inherit the Tachibana Muneshige name and be the head of Tachibana clan. When Muneshige came along with the intention of taking the Tachibana Muneshige name, she hated him so much that she repeatedly beaten him to severe injuries. Muneshige eventually became stronger, at the very last fight, Gin was attempting to kill him because he was taking away what she work all her life for, he sliced away her arms because she became a pure weapon at that point, and he had to disable her so that she finds humanity again. It’s implied that she will never be as strong as she once was, and thus frees her from the burden of becoming the strongest and take over as the head of the Tachibana clan. They modified out a bloody touching scene, where right after Muneshige lops her arms off, he held her in his arms and with his hands directly keeping pressure on the wound so she doesn't bleed out.
