Having witnessed how physically demanding Yuuki can be on his masters, Shushu wants a piece of him too. She wants him to watch while she kicks the sleepy Saharas ass. Both hand-to-hand specialists, their first round is a classic wrestling match with some really niftily animated moves. Just when Shushu has the upper hand, sleepy Sahara demands that they be allowed to use their abilities. Shushu blows up in size, but Sahara basically Super Saiyans into a ball of violent energy....

Its a hilarious and absurd dream, and just a small a taste of the madness thats to come. Now he knows why Ataru was helping. Turns out Mizunokouji women arent allowed to see any mennot even their father or brothersuntil the age of fifteen. Her mother went through the same thing, all in the name of family custom. In fact, its because theyre brother and sister. When she comes to shes chained to the wall, but so are Mendou and Ataru....

The only other way topotentiallycancel an expulsion is to pay twenty million private points. Its an unreasonable, unfair exam, but life is unreasonable and unfair, isnt it? The vote will be held in four days. Suzune confronts Ryuuen in the library, someone who seems doomed to be expelled. Like his study buddies, he advises her to lay low. The next morning, Honami ambushes Ayanokouji to ask if she can walk to school with him....

In a break from previous episodes, theres barely any Utena or Kiwi in this one. Instead, Hanabishi Haruka gets to shine as the unofficial Team Mom of Tres Magia. Its also established that Haruka is an extremely kindhearted girl, if a bit weird in her dietary habits. This is when the fantasy of being transformed into a literal infant shifts to full-on paraphilic infantilism. Harukas unabashed positivity eventually gets to Kaoruko, and she agreed to join them and make themTres....

So I get angry. Is that so surprising? Is she just talking about how Konno treated Tama, or is there more to it? As for Konno, she and Mao appear to be getting along, but Tomozaki can tell somethings off. Tama also inspired Yuzu to do her best to change what she doesnt like about herself. Personally, I like the idea of him dating either Fuuka or Mimimi. Hinami claims to have gained 6,000 followers simply by taking consistently quality shots....

The Puppetmaster is trying to extractsomekind of information from Rouge; information she may not even know she has. Fortunately, Rouge is able to pull herself together and fight off the robot clown girl. Rouge leaps off the carnival ship, which is headed back into space, with Naomi in her arms. of Rouge we saw briefly in her dream....

The only place to find one of those? Amasia, where they were built. I love how harshly her HUD illuminates her face, revealing the treachery Kanata cant see in her face. Macht and Schnee return to Ideal HQ to find Mouton there, preparing to respray Tokios Coffin. Now Licht Alter, whom weve known as Tokio, has returned as the Prodigal Son. Macht assures him hes no longer weak. He follows the sound of her haunting song reverberating through a internet of tunnels carved into a seaside cliff....

We open with Minami singing a song that ends with the line I love you, making Tsubasa blush. She always sings this particular song at karaoke, because it never fails to cheer her up. Its the first time he and Sayuri have been to karaoke. Thanks to Minami, their social horizons are expanding for the big city newbie and the loner gamer. I like how theyre both portrayed as nervous but also open to the experience....

Makoto also meets Lurias older (but smaller-chested) sister Eva, an academy librarian. Makotos fellow instructor Bright sends ten of his students to Makotos first lecture. Needless to say, none of these students have ever met anyone like Makoto or Shiki. Shiki serves as the aggressor while Makoto defends. With that, the first class is in the books. As for the students, theyre an eclectic group … for Hyumans. Misra is the son of temple officials who sacrifices his mana to keep the mock battle against Makoto going....

Rishe responds that shes fully aware of the facts and has still chosen to be Prince Arnolds bride. Before Theo can protest, Arnold arrives, no doubt tipped off to the meeting by Rishe. Arnold shoos Theodore away, then tells Rishe he warned her to stay away from him. Putting his hand around her throat, he orders her to disabuse herself of that false notion. She trusts what shes seen, and cant see him as a cruel person....

Both True Cross in general and the Exwires in particular are in a bad way. The former, decimated into disarray by the Illuminatis Seraphim and scrambling to pick up the pieces. The latter, deeply shaken by Shimas betrayal and Izumos kidnapping. Really, gang? Shouldn’t you get to rescuin’? That means heading to her hometown of Inari in Shimane Prefecture. The little travelouge snippets of their journey are fun, but felt misguided considering the seriousness of Izumis plight....

Reds first priority is to confirm no one finds Ruti or learns that shes forsaken her Heros Blessing. Thats right, the big guy cant resist a training camp, and this one will have great food. Yarandrala and Danan reminisce, while Red and Rit get some couple time bathing in a spring. Rit hopes hes able to make him understand. Because this isShin no Nakama, the actual sparring session is pretty underwhelming due to the dearth of animation....

Dude is finally getting some attention. Meanwhile, Hunter Baek Yoon-ho, one of only seven S-Ranks in Japan, gets fluffy TV interviews. But he also doesnt want to have a high profile or draw too much attention to himself. His job will be to carry their baggage. But hes no greenhorn like Jinho; he advises extreme caution. Theres also a giant slumbering spider that Dongsuk is oddly certainwontwake up. Shortly after they leave the spiders lair, Dongsuk orders the opening sealed, trapping Jinho and Jinwoo inside....
