Interesting episode. We see the virtual room from the previous episode put to use, with physical holograms, no less.

Also, not so much fanservice this time around. More plot-focused.

Mint looked good in that pink showgirl outfit.

Jack's power is neat but it was no match for Rio's action girl style.

Yuri confirmed in the next episode.

This series never ceases to be innovative, in this episode it was from virtual reality to paranormal powers and fan service although not as much as last episodes. One thing did catch me eye like Hoppy mentions, that of Mint in that bunny outfit even though it was just for a little bit below.

About Jack Mighty, you can pretty much say enter the paranormal world of telekinesis. Jack’s first encounter with Mint was already kind of romantic a little since he helped her hide from Tanaka that crazy Afro samurai wannabe. I knew right away he used telekinesis on Choco the plushy bear of Mint. The way he got back at Mint for treating something of adult nature while she is not got me a priceless Mint face. I am still wondering how he made the robot remember a different face, unless that device somehow made him reprogram completely but then how did he stop all that and still made her not remember his face. Apparently his powers were used to disarm bombs, which would make that family the best in that field since they can move the bomb fast and far from danger or even at the enemy in military applications. Just the face of that medal was a little creepy, looks like some kind of viking though guy. Oh my, he insulted Cartia of a devil but I am not surprised as to how she treats him, although she did save Jack’s life from the street slums. Fascinating enough, all of Jack’s family acquired genetically telekinesis so they are using the animal terminology of developing skills to survive, well kind around that.

During the game Jack was so dirty after being saved by Rio to shoot her down. I can pretty much understand he wants out. That would not be a bad idea. He could work for Howard. Most likely at the end it was the sweetest moment of this series compared to all other things, Jack saving Mint in that virtual reality space game phase 4. That is a nicest moment in this series. I did get trolled a little at the end with Mint/Jack for that kiss. It never happened, instead the plushy bear does it and Mint comes out with the lame excuse of we are too young to do that? Oh come on a kiss on the cheek would have been great at least.
Rest in spoiler
About preview, can’t wait for that one with all the stuff in spoiler
like the first possible yuri between Rina and Rio from what it looks like. It still remains to be seen if it’s real or a dream that Rio may have, regardless they look like both naked and hugging so something will be up, just too bad for censors on that one. That’s apart from one of Cartia’s henchman kidnapping Rina, mister wannabe Sheriff and another one that’s female playing succubus. Next episode is to be fan service epic most likely.

God, I loved Mint in the bunny girl outfit. I also really liked the space battle, you definitely expect that sort of craziness from this show.

Next episode looks like some yuri action and I can't wait :)

After a while it wasn't space pinball anymore. Sharks attacking you and protecting your opponent and then your opponent attacking you. Yea doesn't quite scream space pinball anymore.
I wonder what's going to happen to Jack after this though?

If it's just virtual reality then why did they need to be protected from the meteor?

It is physical virtual reality or something. Remember in the beginning when Rio leaned on the space pod, but then fell over when it vanished? You can feel the images, not just see them.

And what annoyed me about his episode is that this wasn't so much a game of chance as a game of skill.

this week ep we got

mint doing space riding but in the holodeck area while rio & mint talking here rina calling rio to meet with owner. (lmao black samurai in space splat)
then owner explain that rio got another challenge set a by person who named is "jack" being set by cartia.
then mint do some searching from linda's "drawing" which is that black samurai.
so scouting from black jack, dice rolling (in a bunny suit mint), slots, even rock paper scissors with ania in a shrimp suit really black samurai loser.
rio & risa have some talking then silent call, misery's pic, etc got to be cartia mind games on it.
more mint follow black samurai while meeting that "boy" again which lead to black samurai going milk crazy, cheese crazy, yogurt crazy, & end up being samurai to the hospital.
then mint bear got blown away till it got "float" & rescue by that "boy".
rio is sitting then that "boy" appear & reveal by cartia that "boy" is jack.
then match is space pinball in extra level.
mint see jack to thank for bear rescue & also find out jack have "power" from bomb disarmed which aka telekinesis then got found by cartia give jack call her a devil give jack want to win to get free.
then he we go space pinball then here come phase 3 aka SPACE SHARKS then rio got "oh-no" but her luck to the rescue from new outfit to RIDING THE SHARKS & rio wins.
then oh no black samurai pops linda's head & now phase 4 OH NO!!!
which cause mint float in space so rio & jack to the rescue & rio stop linda float head which everyone is ok.
mint thank jack again by kiss the bear.


next ep we got flying, cat helmet like for rio, ania shrimp, rio & risa "expoded steam shower" (IF that is Y-word yea we all knew this would happen), beard chair cowboy, & magic girl etc next ep (especially got to see that rio-risa steam shower).

Lol they advanced to Phase 4 without breaking another maiden's seal. Glittering Crux will try to recruit Linda now.
No, seriously nice episode, kinda twisted like always. Loved Rio's purple suit, though i'm waiting to see her in that one piece black dress from the ED. There was also afro-topknot--samurai, made me lol obviously.

Looking forward to Yuri implied in the preview for next episode, hope it'll bring some Rio x Rina development and fanservice instead of just fanservice.

I have to say if they made this more of a comedy it would be much better... or i wish their intention was to make me laugh at that.

Samurai dude is awesome.

This gotta be one of those things you actually get a little bit more stupid for each episode you watch.
Still can´t drop it, don´t know why.

So who brought the painting to airship/casino/whatever the hell it is?

We need more fanservice. Seriously this show hasn't got much else to it so why so modest? Put Rio and her sister and a few more costumes, throw some yuri and shower scenes too.

The space pinball with some sharks and meteors seems weird to me but it's not bad afterall.

Woah, she saved him, that was totally unpredictable. The originality of this show never ceases to amaze me, truly one of the best.

If you believed the statement above you're either a very dumb person or you are probably a six year old.

I don't know how they managed to put this shit on air.

That is gonna annoy me a lot, actually the episode annoyed me already, I could see their attempt to put romance in between Mint and Jack, not that I mind if it's done right, but it isn't which is why it annoyed me.

Okay this is getting ridicolous. I mean it was already pretty dumb before, but at least it had some decent fanservice. This episode was just whack with a kid who has telekinesis and a virtual reality room which can ACTUALLY alter reality...
