The episode saves the whole show, should have been happened earlier

considering ep4 and 8 did not help to develop the plot at all


Not every episode needs to help develop the plot. Expanding on character relationships is just as valid.

This episode. This fucking episode.

Couldn't have said it better.

I have to admit that all of those minor things (like how they left the introduction-font on the screen and how Inumuta pulled off his gasp) were pretty hilarious. This is getting pretty interesting.

Also, Gamagoori and Mako are going to hook up. Calling it now.

I think Nui's just pretending that she's Ryuko's father's killer to get a rise out of Ryuko. I don't think the big bad would show itself this early on.
Yeah, I think so too. Silhouette, hair, and also the scissor are somehow different. Was still weird to see Ragyou have a similar underhair as Ryuuko.

In the same way as Inumuta giving up disrupted the usual tournament expectations, the arrival of Harime just threw the return match with Sanageyama through the window. Love it when a show keeps its audience on their toes.

Idk if she's pretending. She would have pretty good reasons to want him dead considering he kinda copied her Kamui designs.

Matoi's father looked like Dr. Robotnik, not the kind to copy anyone's design.

Anyone noticed how Ryuko is so obssesed with Satsuki that is messing with her mind, when she remembered the shadow that ran away in first episode it looked like Nui Harime but in episode 11 it totally looked like Satsuki.

He made a kamui too to fight the clothes that she created. Arguing on the word copy doesnt matter much..

My point is you assume Harime created the kamui design for some reason. Or that Matoi created a kamui only to fight her clothes. There is nothing to confim or disconfirm such hypotheses at this point. We don't know where the design is from. She could have stolen it from him in the first place for example. Or he could have created the kamui with just research in mind, before he joined Nudist Beach and not after. We just don't know.

Really intense episode. And good twist. I just really disliike that they go with the clichee of the crazily overpowered moe lolita in a dress. I wish the character had been a bit different to give things a more dramatic tinge.

Amazing episode, stunning ending.
Also, FINALLY we get the chance to see Satsuki's mother and Ryuuko's real enemy.
WTF is wrong with those rainbows.

She won't. Probably Satsuki or Aikurou will come to her aid.

what a really amazing epiosde wow.
but i really feel that just this Honnouji Academy arc is only the beginning of this anime, and there are so much more things that are going to happen. For example, obviously the new girl who killed matoi's father. and seeing Satusuki's mother, and then why do the nudist people wanna stop matoi SOO MUCH HAPPENING WOW. just wow. this anime never fails to amaze me.

AND THAT OST IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
especially when matioi was doing that badass move during the fight agains nonon. omg

So, what you're saying is, Ryuko Mako is really awesome.

The budget seems a little higher compared to the last episode, while still making the best of its low budget moments and another fight ends in hilariously anti-climactic fashion. Turns out Nui Harime (another clothing reference, something to with stitches or seams) isn't with Nudist Beach after all. I was skimming through the first episode for the silhouette of the killer, but they decided to reveal that anyway, so that settles that lol. "I'm Not Your Cute Woman" is pretty fitting, but I wonder what the kanji her eyepatch is made out of means. Now, for some obligatory screenshots.

Do your best, Mako.

The eyepatch is not written in kanji though. It's "nui" spelled in katakana: ヌイ

Some reason? No there's a very big reason why this is actually likely

Firstly she's referred to as "Grand Couturier", Couturier meaning: Designer of custom-fitted clothing. Which fits the Kamui's description. If the Kamui's origin is from Revocs as suggested, then the Grand Couturier of said organisation would be behind the design of at least one Kamui. Also Tsumugu's comment "the home office's high order Tailor is here". High Order = Of high quality. Tailor = Designer of custom-fitted clothing... As close to a dead giveaway you could get this early on

This and the fact that she targeted the weak point on Sanageyama's Goku Uniform instantly, probably not possible without understanding how Life Fibers are threaded together in the first place

It's nothing stonewall, but it's not without basis either. I'm close to a 100% that Harime is Revocs' head Kamui designer and the evidence is there, but we'll find out soon enough

>clichee of the crazily overpowered moe lolita in a dress<

If language means anything, there are two things incorrect in that expression. So grab the popcorn and sit back and prepare for the emesis next episode (and no crying people, this isn't a game).

Damn! i knew Sanageyama's battle would not happen since i was predicting earlier that Harime Nui would jump in their battle. And it looks like Nui is the one who killed Matoi's father.

I'm already pissed off by the next episode, since Ryuko is gonna loose against that moe piece of turd. She is going to go apeshit crazy with Senketsu taking over, but she is still going to loose the fight. And then this will make her team up with Satsuki against a common enemy. Oh well...

Yea this bothered me a bit. Satsuki is likely still above the new char's level, but to have who's supposedly the top of the elite 4 defeated with a fingernail... that's just too much of a power level jump to introduce a new char.

From this point on it's pretty obvious that Matoi will join Satsuki and the elite 4 and the new 'villains' will be Sasuki's mom and her cronies.

I really wish they could have eased up on the power levels a bit though. It was already starting to get ridiculous with this elite 4 battle =/

Nui is just remarkably wonderful. Everything seems so perfect when she enters the fight. Can't wait to see how much things unfold from here, I do have a feeling that there is more to it than what she says to Ryuuko.

Now someone better leak the next episode because I'm seriously impatient.
The frustration of having to wait a week is starting to kick in - That's why I prefer marathoning over watching weekly.
This series seemed like a perfect candidate to follow, but the plot is starting too get too good for that - right when I'm stuck in the middle :(

Yeah I hope the series will address this later. Something about Nui could have made Sanageyama unable to detect her approach. Or Nui's power could have simply vastly outweighed his.

The music was outstanding this episode, it really had a huge impact on the overall mood of the episode. The quick character introductions with the typography were on point as usual and I loved how they had Harime break the fourth wall with her typography to show in a sense how powerful she is.
Episode 11 of Kill la Kill may be one of the best episodes of Fall 2013. This series has definitely surprised me with how well it's been put together.

Oh my god, she beat Sagaeyama without even trying and she caused Satsuki to lose her cool, and she apparently killed Ryuko's dad. Who are these people that Satsuki is associated with?

True enemy appears, and it seems like they're working out the kinks with all the Elite Four's suits. They'll roar back stronger than ever when they go after who I assume will be the true enemies of the series.

Things got intense real fast. But Mako is still Mako :D


it seemed like Satsuki was even a bit worried because she showed up. cant wait for the next episode.

My guess though, is Nui or maybe Satsuki's mom gonna be like a new full-scale global threat soon? I got the feeling that it might follow the 2nd-cour Gurren Lagann plot pattern...
