So, they took the time to get her broken sword but they couldn't even be bothered to rescue Satsuki? OK...

I speak only when I feel it's necessary.
Satsuki was captured. They probably picked the sword up as they were retreating.
The greatness of the cast really helps to obscure the fact that Ryuko is a terrible main character who sucks and never develops and goes through the same bullshit I'M ANGRY AT MY SLUTTY SUPERSUIT shit.
That whole "Having a serious conversation while he's standing there distractingly naked" bit gets me every time.
Gamagori, you is so transparent.
Anyone else notice that Sukuyo (Mako's mom) was repeatedly staring directly at Mikisugi's crotch? They made a point of her "noticing" it. The straying gaze of a bored housewife!
To emphasize her powers as the true heroine of the series, I definitely would have liked it if Mako came out of the COVERS suit normally (the way she did in the episode), but all the other students that Ryuko rescued were all still dehydrated and anemic. The suit that grabbed Mako bulked up at least double the size of the average one.
Also really curious how the metal toenail is going to allow Satsuki to escape.
It's a weapon similar to the special fibre-cutting sword that Satsuki passed down, and it'll cut her chain because Satsuki does not falter against things like inflexibility.Originally Posted by Ryllharu
And yes, it was hilarious how "entertained" Mako's mum was.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah...pretty sure it's not okay to be fingerbanging your daughter like that all the time.
The Covers are creepy as fuck. Like something out of the latter parts of Earthbound.
The best part of this is the joke Mako made earlier about how you should only get naked with the one you love, and then she pops out nude in front of Gamagoori.
Wait a minute, I thought Satsuki was the true heroine of the series? Have you jumped ship already?
Pretty much any of these people would be a better main character than Ryuko. I think early on a lot of people were wondering if she was going to end up becoming something more than the bog-standard protagonist because her mannerisms and how her fights ended up often had her spouting typical villain lines. Nope it's just that she is kind of a boring asshole.
Nope. Nobody else is that cynical and hates fun as much as you.
I still love Satsuki-sama of course, but she's not the heroine. She's just the most heroic character.
If you think back carefully, Mako has always been the main motivator of change. Ryuko gets fussy, Mako gets her back on her feet. Ryuko gets hopeless, Mako's words encourage her, Ryuko does something stupid, Mako says something really stupid but strangely insightful and the story moves forward.
Mako is basically invulnerable, Mako in a 2-Star is stronger than Ryuko properly synchronized with Senketsu. Even if Ryuko was holding back, there's no way she'd be that much weaker. Mako was totally kicking her ass even when Ryuko was actively defending herself. Mako has split Gamagori's previously-unwavering loyalty, etc.
Mako has pretty much always been the driving force of this series, even if she's usually in the background.
Ryuko is no fun. She's a whiny grouch. Put the spotlight on the fun characters. And like, it's not me, there's a reason her theme song is Don't Lose Your Way and it's because she fucking constantly does. Notice that even though Satsuki's motive is revenge, just like Ragyo, all her cutting remarks about how Ryuko is a shallow person driven by anger over things she never understood hit dead on still.
Ryuko constantly falls back into unfocused anger and self-loathing and it's not very interesting.
But if Ryuko didn't constantly lose her way, then Mako would be not be needed and she is needed.
Notice that Mako can give plenty of inspiring speeches in situations other than "Ryuko is super mad for no good reason."
You say that, but that's exactly what they've done.
They've had multiple episodes where Ryuko's basically been in a coma and they've just followed other characters around, so I don't know what you're complaining about.
She was in about 30 seconds of this episode, so what the hell else do you want?
This was a good episode, I was just being negative about Ryuko because episodes without her are a marked improvement.
Ah. I see.
[Underwater] Kill la Kill - 20
"Not even you can pull out the earplugs she wears, for they are earplugs of the heart."
--------------
Now that, I honestly could never had predicted. I definitely expected Satsuki to get overtaken by whatever Ragyo and Nui had planned, not that they were merely restitching Junketsu (same outlines as previous episode) and forcing a brainwashed Ryuko to wear it. It was mildly surprising that they caught Ryuko so easily, and brainwashed her too. But never in a million years could I have guessed that Satsuki would be wearing Senketsu, and look so god damn awesome in it. She does kinda look like Yuuko from Dusk Maiden of Amnesia.
It also looks like Senketsu's eye has narrowed to better fit Satsuki's smaller boobs.
Of course, another episode where Satsuki proves to be the best (killing COVERS just with her false toenails) and Mako shows once again that she is the true heroine of the series, the most stubborn (and dumbest) in all of the school. Ryuko sucks.

Well, there's been a lot of fan art and rumors going around with the two kamui's switched so it wasn't that big of a surprise to me.
I just watched the raw. Is Underwater any good?
So, I get that Ryuko has been a bit off and she's made some very...poor choices, but let's be fair shall we? That poor girl's been through a lot. And, as twisted as this may seem, at this very moment of time she is probably the happiest that she's ever been outside of being with Mako's family.
That being said, I was a bit sad that we didn't get to see Ryuko's transformation with Junketsu. Hopefully we will see Satsuki's transformation next week.
Also, why the hell didn't Satsuki, the Devas, and/or Nudist Beach try and save Ryuko when she got captured instead of going back to the carrier? (again I haven't seen the subs so if they answer that then ignore this)
There was no way they could've saved her. All Satsuki had were her toenails. Ragyo and Nui would've destroyed them.
