That ending... just... wow.
The betrayal was very much expected, but it still was amazing to watch.

Was expecting Satsuki's betrayal a long time ago. But not this way.

So, what? Will Satsuki and the elite four ally with Ryuuko and Nudist Beach? Or will they go alone against the Satsuki empire? That's the question.

That blood drip scene gave me the chills. I knew something was up with Satsuki. She had so many chances to kill Matoi. She even saved Matoi the time Matoi lost her senketsu.
If there's another plot twist and her mother didn't die, has some immortal powers and shit
I believe that if she can't kill her mom off, Matoi will. :o

Was a little more violent than I expected. This series has been pretty tame overall regarding that stuff.

As violent as it was though, Ragyo looked fine and well in the previews so I'm assuming this attack didn't do much. You don't get much feel for mortality in this series despite it being called kill la kill, there isn't much killing going on. Attempted killing sure but it doesn't work out all that well

Edit: Ragyo looks fucking stupid as well. Who honestly gave the go ahead with that design?

And just when I thought Mako vs Gamagoori was the freaking best fight of the entire series, his father vs Gamagoori gives it a new meaning.

Well I DID expect that betrayal coming from a lightspeed year of distance, but not as suddenly as that. So if Satsuki is declaring her "Rebellion" to her mother like that, it is to assume that Ragyo will survive that wound, God knows how? Holy shit!!

This is good.

Holy stinking balls. That was brutal, sooo epic with the blood shower. I think that it was expected that she would rebel against her mother, but that was way bloodier than I would have thought. The moment I knew for real that she would do something during that ''festival'' was when she saw Ryuuko coming and said that all the elements were there. Why would she want Ryuuko to come if not to have some reinforcement?

The sensei is just too awesome with all these lens flare xD
I like how even in the truck, we could see his shining nipples. It's all in the little detail :P

The story behind the mercenary (I forgot his name) was interresting.

Hey, I'll throw this in and say that Ragyo is Matoi mother and Satsuki is her sister! Okay, I'm only babbling right now xD

I absolutely loved the sake scene, it reminded me of the beginning of Code Geass R2 :3

@DarkCyclone
In Japan it's "Kiru ra Kiru". "Kiru" is a verb meaning "to wear/put on" or "to cut". It's not so much about killing people as creating and discarding ideals, goals, bonds with other people, etc.; your most defining traits. Satsuki has cut off her affiliation with her mother, her "red thread of fate".

Pretty clear they're trying to show Ragyou's vanity and insanity.

kiru is written in katakana though. Plus the official English title is Kill la Kill, not Kiru la kiru.

It was not meant to -directly- mean "to cut", but rather, it is used as a pun on kiru, and how kiru also sounds like the English work "kill"
Like how it was stated that the main theme was chosen because "Fashion" looked and sounded so much like "Fascism"

A lot of people have been predicting Satsuki would turn against her mother (either because they've read ahead in the manga or their own predictions), but I wasn't expecting it to be now or like that! Any normal human being would be dead after being ran through and crucified on one of those three-star beams, but I have a feeling Ragyo is just getting started.

I loved Mako's family standing up for her, especially when her dad suddenly shifted to a realistic art style, only to turn back into their normal, goofy selves when they found out that yes, there will be punch and pie. :P LOL at the brother just covering himself in body paint and avoiding the takeover of the Life Fibers.

Shit has definitely hit the fan ... can't wait to see how this develops next episode! Will Ragyo be able to hold off the Elite 4 and 2 Kamui suits by herself, or will she have her own minions to set against them?

Also, I have to wonder what kind of time slot Kill la Kill is in, when they can get away with showing tons of blood spraying out of Ragyo without a hint of a censor, yet Pupa is covered in vast black swaths ... maybe other shows have started hiding the gore along with the tits in order to increase Blu-Ray sales?

There's a theory that Ragyo might be being controlled by life fibers which could explain how she was still alive in the next episode preview.

I kind of figured a rebellion was going to happen, since that's totally Satsuki's character, hell she even has a line that says she'll exploit all of those around her, think it's from Gamagori's back story episode. Will our antagonist switch after this episode? What will come of Satsuki and Ryuuko's relationship?

But that is all that matters. That Satsuki would end up being a quasi-hero (but not a true hero, the point isn't to rebel against clothing but to become friends with them) was obvious from the beginning, so it wasn't a matter of what, but a matter of when, and damn they pulled the when off beautifully (and the four (but actually five or is it six?) standing behind her with those smiles), next week cannot come too soon.

What a great episode. This show really deserves to become a classic.

Let me top off the speculation with just one more prediction for this week's post:
