OVER TOP SILLY. Not very amusing when the serious level of the Anime is like 2 kindergarten kids are playing together super heros.

Jakuzure's fight on the other hand was pretty good it seems pretty clear now that she's the strongest of the elite four.

Na, Monkey is the strongest.

His super vision makes him the strongest, and he is the only one who actually noticed Ryuko's badassry in the Gamagori fight before it became obvious.

He is also stronger because he has already learned what the other elite 4 are only learning now, that his arrogance is what made him loose.

At this rate, if they don't take things to space at some point I'll be disappointed :)

Yeah, excpet he's still arrogant. And yes, I think Nonon is stronger than Uzu if for no other reason than her bass cannons. If Uzu really has heightened his senses the way he has, than a soundwave strong ever to force Ryuko to cough up blood would seriously hurt him. He also has no way to reach Nonon from the ground.

Just wait until next week. I'm willing to bet that Ryuko will beat Uzu by having Senketsu evolve into something similar to Nonon's soundwave attacks, overloading his senses and making him an easy target.

I'm definitely excited for next week's episode, since Kinagase is sure to do something completely unwarranted for.
I'm not confident in Ryuko's ability to win this round with Jakuzure, but I do hope she wins and figures out the deal with her dad's death.
I can't wait until next week.

I really liked the music that was playing as Matoi transformed into Senketsu's flying version. Anyone know what it was called???


I agree, if anyone has any insight on this, it would be most appreciated!

Also I was slightly disappointed with the the probe regalia, but still turned out fun to watch

The first fight with Houka was awful.
He was way too weak for one of the Four Elites, IMO.
Still, no loss as the second fight with Nonon got started right away.

Both uniforms reflecting their role in the school...
Yet since this appears to be the design prerequisite, they turn out kind of lame.

Still, Nonon seemed to be a bit of a huge overkill.
Ryuuko & Senketsu obviously stepping up to the challenge with another epic transformation.
It will be interesting to see where this battle goes in the next episode. I'm hoping the fact that Nonon seemed to get super-pissed-off at the end means there will be plenty of action.

Another thing, I foresee an upcoming twist with the new character, Harime Nui.
We don't yet know if she'll turn out to be a supporter or opponent, but it should definitely make the plot more interesting.
(Although surprise opponent is most likely the way this series goes)

I was disappointed the fight between Inumuta and Matoi, so simple and so short. Nonon is moe since childhood but now becomes more violent.

Intriguing about the new girl.

that because he wasn't really fighting, he even says at the end of his battle that he cares more about data then victory.

I would disagree, he just sees so much he knows how the fights are going to turn out. His all knowingness just seems like arrogance.

Also, him having heightened senses hasn't affected him any other time since then. People seem to confuse "I don't like drinking tea because its really warm to me" with "OMG I CANT DRINK TEA OR ILL DIE JUST MUH SENSES!". sanagema isn't that overly disabled by his heightened powers.

I like Ryuuko's new abilities n this episode but her battle against Houka and Nonon weren't as impressive as Gamagoori. It looks like Aikurou is worried the uniform might take control of Ryuuko when it fully evolved but that remains to be seen.

I actually think this will be essential in defeating Uzu.
Since he can read subtle movements of the human body taken before an action to predict what the person is going to do and counter it...
If Ryuuko lets Senketsu control her, rather than controlling him, it would make her actions seem inhuman and therefore unpredictable to him.
I think there's enough trust and care between Ryuuko and Senketsu that Senketsu won't abuse that ability, and will turn over control to Ryuuko again once they're done.
The reason for Aikuro panic though being based on the history of life fibres going wild with humans who aren't stronger than them.
He expects Senketsu to become stronger than Ryuuko and go crazy with her body. However, I think Ryuuko will willingly let Senketsu control her for the fight, after which he will willingly be submissive to her again.

The Houka fight really sucked. I was expecting more, especially from an elite four. I also don't like how Senketsu just happens to have so many transformations that just happen to be a good counter against Ryuko's opponents. It cheapens the battle.

Oh well, Nonon was what really made this episode worth it. So moe, and I love her troll face.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

(i can die happily now)


OTOH everyone is being very harsh with Inumuta, he's just a (not so)regular pc geek/nerd in charge of intel, what did you expect? (all dem passive-agressive insults with Gamagoori tho xD)

That "worst-case scenario"... wonder what Nudist Beach will try (and why will they try it).

It probably will follow the TTGL formula and the story will broaden to a grander scope than just the academy.

I was expecting Inumata to be at least stronger than Gamagori but it turned out that he was the weakest although I have to say he has the coolest regalia among the elite 4. Mako x Gamagori is pretty hilarious. Nonon's past is cute plus loli Satsuki-sama. lol
Senketsu's evolution is also epic and at the same time worrying and it's not surprising if Nudist Beach is alarmed by this and planning their moves. I always feel Satsuki-sama will not be the endboss considering there's a new suspicious character in the preview. Anyway, we will know whether it will affect the course of the next remaining 15 episodes.

Inumuta ended been more like a data recollection type than a combat type. The battle with nonon was good and the ost was excellent, as always. Next episode appears a new character and we'll see nonon's fight climax.

Read my speculation in the EP9 thread.
I think that's an essential part of the plot to bring about the second half of the series, which will be completely different.

Am I the only one who didn't like this episode? I'm fine with over the top but I found the first fight extremely boring and Nonon's musical blimp of death somehow jumped over the top and fell right back down to the bottom. I mean, at some point there has to be a limit right? Ig there really doesn't, this show will clearly end with galaxies being thrown at each other. Side note, Mako is the best character.

4/5

If you need to save the current anime Japanese animation, then with the media and with the minds that there are, must decide to make the series that have great graphics and plots epic! * _ *
Returning to today's episode, if I have to say, I liked most of the secondary characters that the protagonists Gamagori and friend Mako win, much more entertaining and incisive in the narrative, they manage to stay in the mind longer than Ryuuko and its transformations a bit obvious, as are the ultra discounted uniforms of the four leaders! D:
More and more curious to find out what's in store the finished series direct clashes! * _ *
The remaining episodes are still very much! * _ *

I noticed that this time it was much more modest uniform of Ryuuko, during the gust of wind! ASD

I was a tad disappointed by the Houka fight, but that seemed to be all a feint to gather intimate information on Ryuuko. Nonon's is turning out to be quite a bit more entertaining. But with so much more left to go in this series, I have a feeling that this is mostly a prerequisite to something much bigger. Senketsu seems to be super helpful and supportive, but Nudist Beach seems to know what they're talking (Aikuro anyway) when they talk about him evolving too quickly. The end of this arc may involve learning what the Life Fibers really are and where they come from.

So you were able to predict that Inumata would forfeit like that before it happened and you were able to predict what Jakuzure's Goku uniform would look like before she transformed because I have to say that's pretty impressive of you if you did.

And on the other hand i'm sure not many people like yourself knew that the "trap" character in episode 4 was a traitor before the reveal.

wait you didnt know the trap character was bad in episode 4? Her attackign ryuuko and messing up their path at every possible chance seriously didnt clue you in? The joke of that episode was it was obvious ryuuko was helping out the bad guy

And the forfeiting dude and what the girls uniform look like are not things that apply to the shows predictability. The predictability is this show's fights all follow the same formula

step 1: bad guy used powers and kicks ryuuko's ass for a few minutes
step 2: pull something new about the suit out of their ass and beat bad guy
optional step: throw in a few gags about ryuuko's suit being revealing cause those will always be funny no matter how many times you reuse them every second of every episode.

i mean just look at this ep for fucks sake, how do you beat flying character? Simple pull flying ability out of your ass, and its not even just this episode its all the fights, like how do you beat satsuki? simple pull power upgrade out of thin air

The fights in this series are just painful to sit through since they are all identical to the last, thats why im excited by the possibility that sanketsu isnt gonna be used for the later half of the show so we can be done with this bullshit
