Nova and the whole "I am Hikaru" thing reminds me of another work by CLAMP ("I am Kamui" ... lol) of course this is an entirely different situation. Nice episode (:

Good episode, nice action .

I'm beginning to think that Nova is just a monster based on Hikaru's guilt in her heart for killing Zagato and Emeraude. Or maybe she's a monster for all of the magic knights because they all feel guilty.

"But what are you doing, worrying about your enemy?" Oh, shut the fk up, Eagle. He's already told you like on three separate occasions that you're his dear friend, his best friend, and that he doesn't want to kill you. I s2g, Lantis. There are better bffs out there. I guarantee it.

I liked how the original two boyfriends[tm] showed up to help out, followed by Lafarga and Cladina... and I do wish that they'd utilize them better. I really like this supporting cast, and they seem so wasted.

So, my clone theory doesn't seem completely wrong, if she's a part of Hikaru's heart or made out of her fear... that's still like a clone. :b

It's been happening for awhile now, but I'd like to point out that the way Hikaru is sending fire out of her sword is almost identical to how Lantis sends lightning out of his. It makes me think Hikaru has become a magical swordsman rather than being a magician and a swordsman.

Anyway, the action in this episode was probably the best we've had since the first season. It's obviously still not well animated, but there was definitely a nice sense of tension.

Finally some non-mech battles. Also, they've been saying it for awhile, but Nova really doesn't look all that much like Hikaru.

I don't know if they can make Hikaru and Lantis anymore awkward together. Lantis already just kind of shows up and stares blankly in just about every scene he is in. It's weird too because he wasn't really like that in the flashbacks. Somehow he evolved into a silent protagonist.

"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"

Hikaru needs to fight her own demons to be able to beat Nova.

As long as they don't show fear, the safer they'll be in the castle.

Nova is still getting into Hikaru's head. If Lantis would just say something positive to Hikaru, she'd feel a lot better at this point.

I thought it was a little unbelievable the kids could just will themselves to stop being afraid. I think it would've been better writing if they had to find a way to have fun and laugh in that situation. Would show a kind of duality between fear and joy too, and a pleasant symmetry.
