----------------------------------------
Compared to some of the previous episodes, this one was kinda depressing especially from Yuyu's perspective.

Not to mention, there's the threat from outer space that dropped into their world with a flash of bang. Crazy how fast this episode escalated into chaos really. Riri and Yuyu facing off is not what I'd expect from this show but luckily, it didn't escalate far. Hope all the other girls are ready for their big fight.

The past between Yuyu and Misuzu revealed...and is pretty much a long-term memory hallucination STD or something. Either way, it puts enormous stress on Yuyu's mentality.

At least Riri is back to her usual, energetic self. Rather than continuing to weep at Yuri's death, the entire Legion is ready to move on (except Yuyu that is). I swear, I love Kaede for her stupid on-screen occurrences every now and then. Throwing a party now? Later, but not now.

More secrets revealed about Misuzu, and it's unsurprising to say that her Rare Skill of Charisma (that's unlike Yuyu's for some reason) has been more of a indictment, transferring skills that are one-of-a-kind between Lilies, otherwise into Huges. Even worse, trying to get any answer out of Yuyu is a taboo of lingering past feelings not forgotten whilst the numerous silhouette imageries float between both former Schutzengel and Schild, much less Lilies in form.

Combine all that, and with an impending looming danger of meteorish parts that form the nightmare of Misuzu's Huge, Yuyu converting to her Rare Skill and fighting alone to the tone of her lonewolf personality, all over again. AND THIS TIME (even with another death flag coming), Riri is not leaving anything to chance (and the Legion whose Magie have been stripped by the enormous darkness of a force).

Time to face your nightmares, Yuyu.

Well i guess where this is going.
My theory is that Misuzu is the one controlling to power right now she is trying to lure Yuyu into using that blade and is using Riri as bait.
Next week will probably be interesting.

It's like the roles are inversed for the drama part between Yuyu and Riri, and it's pretty interesting to see what's happening to Yuyu right now... that's why I wanna see how they'll end the anime, it can definitely be dramatic

I get serious final boss vibes from how that ending is oof. Ah, I can't tell if we're gonna go for a sad ending, or a more happy ending. Prob happy just for Yuyu's sake, cause imagine if she loses another one close to her, would destroy her.

Awesome episode as usual. Can’t help but feel really bad for Yuyu. I thought she’d got past her trauma with Riri’s help back in the first half of the show, but I guess the hallucinations should’ve been a red flag.

I wonder why only Riri’s charm is working, other than the fact that she’s the MC. πŸ€” really hope we don’t lose anyone else here.

Only more episode left, but at least we got the gacha game about to drop next year so there will be more Assault Lily to come!

Misuzu ghost is really creepy. It's a real nightmare for Yuyu, she's really hallucinating.
It's time for Yuyu to gain herself back on way, grab Dainselif, try to move forward, and then fight Misuzu.

Maybe the reason why Riri be the one that can use magic because her rared skill is something beyond Charisma. It could be some skill that no one knows about it yet.

Wow so Misuzu also had Charisma rare skill and looks like she could even erase memories, that's wicked.

The final battle approaches, only Riri can use her charm but looks like Yuyu is gonna take back her Dainslef to fight that Huge alongside Riri. The finale will be full of hype.

As always, it's a treat seeing Shaft's writers exhibit their best skills.

Riri: 'I have to wake up early to train to show the audience I'm stronk. But the audience doesn't know I'm not an early bird, so I'll just have this side side character share that info now with them as it becomes relevant. I wonder if a training arc with no training will be enough to get the message across that I'm stronk.'
Orange hair shy girl: 'Riri, you're different now.'
Riri: 'Is it because I am stronk?'
Orange hair shy girl: 'Yes, you're stronk.'
Riri: 'Good, now the audience knows for certain that I'm stronk. But let me just hammer it down a little bit more by saying I have to train and not actually train again.'

Yes, top-notch writing.

But it gets better! So, Yuri wasn't just an empty character device for Riri, she was, in fact, a plot device for Yuyu to feel bad again and shove all the real conflict of the series in the last two episodes. Didn't see that plot twist coming, did you? I know I said it once, but this is such peak writing as I've never seen before, I'm amazed.

What more could you want? They even gave Yuyu a complex character arc. She was Homura an edgy lone wolf that can't get over the fact hat she couldn't save her buddy. Not now. Now... Now she blushes sometimes. Incredible.

Apparently, Misuzu used her skill to manipulating Yuyu's mind that made her halucinating Misuzu's appearance over and over again. While the wheel of fate continued to Yuyu's life by the arrival of Riri. She was scared that the past of herself repeated, though that was a wrong conclusion. As a result of Misuzu skill that went through Huge by her death, its influenced the whole nest itself that make it evolved into the present one being like that. Its looks like the Huge might've avenge Misuzu's desire, for taken back Yuyu to her side, and destroyed the whole academy, i believed. However, Riri came back to save the day, before its too late. Well, everyone won't let her fights that thing alone. So, the full Legion members might be arrived to help Riri, together with Yuyu that felt the power of those CHARM. Or else, Yuri might've arrived too with another form of role to saved Riri's neck. Well, every possibilities are possible. So, lets see how everything handled at the last episode.

This show really be missed a lot by me. I mean, with their thighs.

The depression illness transferred from Riri to Yuyu as our Schutzengel is hallucinating because of her onee-san Misuzu. Her skill to manipulate memories is pretty scary don't you think?...(wait is this Attack on Titan or what). And it seems that Yuyu can't let go of what might have happened in the past with Misuzu.

Meanwhile, three objects crashed into the Earth to create an Anti-Magie force field leaving all our Lilies useless...except for Riri. So it seems that her rare skill Charisma will give her the powers to fight the Huge and the squad ain't letting herself to fight alone this time (they've learned their lessons from Yuri).

It seems like we're getting a fantastic episode next week (damn it another one-cour series). Hope they explain the story a bit more, because that's the thing that has been lacking for Assault Lily, I'm a bit confused about what's going on.

So turns out that Misuzu embraced the dark path and used her skill to influence the Huge, upgrading them, making them be more intelligent in their methods of attack, etc. Next episode Riri will fight that Huge that is likely seen as an embodiment of the entirety of Misuzu's will (so that defeating it=completely removing Misuzu's influence) with her squad and emerge victorious. Maybe it will then be revealed that Riri's Rare Skill is something like Yuri's (I still wish for a protagonist with broken powers like that in this anime) or could be another higher level of Charisma, maybe even higher leveled than Laplace, or could be a Rare Skill that negates the Magie of the Huge which explains why she was able to channel her Magie in the barrier.

Not gonna talk about the bad writing/story progression anymore...I will leave those for whoever reads this to think about.

There are so many implications for Charisma leveling up to Laplace, Yuri being able to copy rare skills and the events surrounding the disappearances of Misuzu and Yuri... Literally anything we've been shown or told could be a lie or illusion. I wonder if they're actually going to do anything with that.

Actually, there's still the question of why Riri can channel magie... Perhaps there's some Misuzu vs Yuri action going on behind the scenes and Yuri is enabling Riri to channel magie. I dunno. Next ep will definitely be interesting, though.

Yuyu is struggling hard, Misuzu is still haunting her and I feel that this won't be over until she uses that CHARM in the lab, which was obvious she will use next week.

So only Riri and Yuyu can use charms, going into fighting those 3 huge that appeared.

Let's end this on a banger of a battle next week.

Its getting interesting now that we can tell that Misuzu is the one behind these Huge peculiar behaviour.
Knowing Yuyu cares a lot about Riri, she only allowed Riri to channel her magie so she'll be in total danger.
Wanna know how the Hitotsu squad will deal with this. Rooting for Kaede, xD..

Nice episode, kinda feel sorry for Yuyu for having that state, but i guess its Misuzu's "modified control" skill since she's obsessed with Yuyu.
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~

Looks like we are in for a good final battle.

Yuyu just can't get a break from the creepy haunting ghost Misuzu. I also wonder if it will be explained why the latter decided to just curse everyhting. She really brought down some serious shit on everyone both figuratively and literally.

Assault Lily reaches the endgame with yet another fantastic episode! Shocking revelations about Misuzu cause a strain in Yuyu's relationship with Riri; and if that wasn't bad enough, a Huge threat attacks the school, forcing Riri to fight without almost no support from her fellow Lilies. While I did enjoy Riri's interactions with her teammates, I feel that Yuyu was the real star in this episode, particularly because we learned new things about her relationship with Misuzu and how those revelations would cause her to question everything she knows about Riri. I'll be sad to see this show go, so hopefully, it will deliver a satisfying conclusion.

I do feel for Yuyu. Not only is she still haunted by the hallucinations of Misuzu, but it's thanks to Misuzu's rare skills that has influenced the Huge to what they've done so far, as well. The new Huge in this episode is going to be a tricky opponent, given how it was able to interfere with the magie, which has rendered almost every Lily unable to fight.

The exception to that is, of course, Riri. I do like her confrontation with Yuyu in the dormitory room, which showcased how stressed out Yuyu is. However, I think it's a given that Yuyu will be joining Riri in this fight, by using the CHARM Dainsleif.

I'm expecting an exciting battle of the final episode, even if it is a bittersweet one at that. =)

Damn, last episode next week. It would be nice if there is 1 more after next week for proper closure but, that's a pipe dream now. Well, it still depends on what happens next week if they can give us a proper satisfying ending, cause I want a proper satisfying ending for this show hngh. Great episode and looking forward to the finale.

This show started strong and has only gotten better each week. The story has developed smoothly and I've been intrigued by the magic system and the connection between the Lillies and the Huge, as well as how Magie is used.

This is most definitely a yuri based cgdct show, as show-cased by the visuals in the ED.

I'm not sure if i understood right, but it seemed that Misuzu was romantically attracted to Yuyu (no surprise when you become a Schild, which is basically a couple). I think Misuzu's metaphor about touching a beautiful raindrop was about her becoming physical with Yuyu and that she thought she might ruin or break Yuyu, with her possessive strong love, and so she rejected herself and hated herself for having these strong feelings of love for Yuyu. And somehow these feelings of hate for herself, a curse, a Yuyu calls it has somehow transferred to the Huge.

And then there's all rare skill Charisma, which Riri and Misuzu have, and why they both ended up with Yuyu. The more I've learnt the more I've liked this show.

I'm looking forward to the final episode. This has been one of my top picks for this season.

Omg what an boring episode... This shit is dragging too long...
Yeah i know Yuyu Depressed mode... But come on...
And we only have Episode left to wrapped things up???

So Riri the only one who can use Charm?
If Riri gonna beat Huge by herself, i swear I'm gonna be upset...
Because what's the point of her squad anymore right?

Or maybe Yuyu gonna be the other one that helps Riri, because we got a little glimps in the end...

With one episode left, the amount of story that left, and lacking of Lily vs Huge fight (because apparently they wanted to spending so much time on the characters development, that i feel like not really done well) I don't have high expectations for the finale...

We'll see next week...

Poor yuyu ( ´•Μ₯וΜ₯` ) she doesnt deserve this I want to fight for her

I think she is legally authorized to use her charm because she has charisma, this gives her special rights (you can call it plot armor yes ^^)
I really want to make some Assault Lily themes moccasins, Im sure this would make a nice kurisumasu gift

Interesting how at the very beginning, Yuyu was depressed and hallucinating about Misuzu until Riri came into her life and got her out of her shell, but when Riri was depressed and out of the picture for a little bit, the hallucinations happened again

Hopefully there's an epic battle in the last episode!!
