    Still on board the "Satsuki secret good guy" bandwagon, although really it's not even a secret anymore. She tries to snap Ryuko out of the berserker state, and she's clearly not the same page as her mother. She may or may not be telling the truth about ordering Nui to steal Ryuko's dad's research, but I'm fully on board with this.
    Or it could be that her rage unleashed Senketsu's primal urges, it could just be that he keeps them in check through his own will but the boiling blood was too much for him.

    I don't think she's a secret good or bad guy, it looks more like while there's these issues and friends and foes all over the globe Satsuki has her own agenda.

    Senketsu said that her boiling blood is the problem. It's what made him lose control of himself. I suppose he likes tasty hot-blooded women... just like all fans of Trigger and Gainax, as he literally chowed down on her when they transformed into the beastly form.

    Mako's comments about her father's common business practices, as well as yet another "make fun of FSN's cheesy line" and Sanageyama's shinai handle all in the same scene. Nothing short of glorious.

    You can't not look at it.

    I feel so bad for Sanageyama. He went through the trouble of going through all that character development for his power up only to get Worfed by an incoming new character.

    I don't like it.

    Seems like all the tracks are about 4 minutes long, and at the 2 minute mark, every song seems to turn into a COMPLETELY different song.

    So every awesome track ends up being half of a shitty one.

    Like KiLLL la KiLL is my favorite song. The track is 4:25 long, and the first minute and a half is epic, then it turns to shit.

    Well damn. I can't say I didn't see it coming, but at the same time I'm a bit surprised they went that route.
    I speak only when I feel it's necessary.

    Oh boy! Now she gets to be on a quest to defeat all the people that got Sanketsu pieces!

    But....WHY UNDERWEAR UNDER SANKETSU?! Nobody ELSE wears underwear under their outfit!

    You forget that underneath that gruff exterior, Matoi Ryuko is still a delicate high school girl, innocent and pure. Not a true exhibitionist like Satsuki-sama.

    Obviously that's why she was defeated so easily.

    Well that was disappointing. She got those pieces back so fast it feels like there wasn't any point in spreading them out in the first place. I thought the whole point of powering her down was so she could fight some lower level opponents again. But I guess not.

    On the plus side, at least I got to hear my favorite song 3 times in this episode!

    I love Ryuko's Jersey. Probably my favorite costume for her so far.

    It's the scarf and sunglasses look for me. Add the motorbike to it and you've got some badassery right there.

    Regarding the previous comments about Ryouko's "innocent" underwear the problem is its inconsistency. If she's wearing that underneath Senketsu, then her transformed look shouldn't be showing so much underboob.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    The creators must have had a bad experience in Osaka, but enjoyed the food. The other two cities weren't cast in nearly as bad a light. Actually, Kyoto and Kobe weren't even shown negatively.

    Trigger has been doing stuff like that all season, from the beginning. They do an overused anime plot device in KLK, but then either make it meaningless or subvert it entirely.

    - "If you defeat me, I'll tell you who killed your father!" [Killer shows up within the next two episodes and says it herself.]
    - Let's do a fighting tournament! Used as filler episodes to pad series episode counts. [Fights are over in less than an episode.]
    - Threaten her best friend to get to her, but then she's actually more durable than the protagonist, and arguably stronger too.
    - They didn't bother to save Satsuki's powerup until the final arc or first climax of a 24 episode series, they did it within the first three episodes.
    - Gamagori is this huge musclebound student, and he's actually 20.
    - Satsuki is the shown as the villain character early on, not allowing for any failures, but the way she acts toward the four on the student council is exactly like the hero character of a story.
    - Ryuko doesn't even last half an episode without Senketsu, despite her strong initial appearance.

    And so on.

    Nudist beach fell quite easily. Will be funny if the teacher was her father all along and the man she thought was her dad was her grandpa.

    Was it just me, or does the dialogue between Gamagori and Mako during those scenes imply that Gamagori has begun developing feelings for Mako?

    The lines he was using were straight out of the "I love you but don't make me fight you," Sunrise Anime Manual for Writing Angsty Teen Mecha Pilots.




    Oh, and Satsuki-sama ~♥~ As usual, you are fabulous.

    He's softer for her now, but I'm not sure if it's a friendly one or otherwise. He seems to admire her qualities if nothing else.

    I'd assumed that was the case for awhile now, ever since he praised her for having guts.

    But when will his loyalties to Satsuki be overwhelmed by his desire for Mako's affections!?

    The public has a need to know!

    I don't think he'll ever become antagonistic towards Satsuki, but he may as her to reconsider certain orders if they are bad for Mako's well being.
