The 3rd Battery Girl-cum-WerdCat hacker Misa Kuroki is here, but she's a case of an oddball, someone who doesn't take social interactions all that well from being a shut-in.

Making matters worse is that Misa locked them all out of the battery girls' recharging lodging, and to get access, they'd have to play to her requirements, no matter the humiliations of their past (most particularly Hosomichi's which his real name brings bad memories). And who better than Hosomichi to battle Misa in a fighting game while the others fail in their own spectacular fashion. Sure looks like a cheater's game, and I admit that the 8-bit game has some creativity in there.

While Hosomichi, Ukai and Balzac (the guys) continue Misa's games dungeon style (Underground Labyrinth, Silent Hill style to "Push The Box") to discover more Otaku stuff such as LaserDiscs to old Japanese traditional weapons, Rin, Yuki and Mimi (the girls) hone their fighting skills. Who would've thought some Otaku mask creeps existed in there.

The worst time for the True Army to act, and Yakumo Kamizuru leads that charge after finding the same dungeon, only to be scared off by the same creeps of culture being a loli. Hosomichi reaching the end stage, but getting trapped by the force of Yakumo's gigatuous Garann, only Misa can get him out if they want to save Akihabara as it is.

I admit that I kinda had some fun for this episode.

This show is really starting to pick up.

The jokes are spot on, the characters are interesting and the voice acting and animation continues to be solid.

Looks like we are getting a little more details about Hosomichi's past. Curious to see what happens next.

Was that a Cutie Honey reference when Balzac introduced WerdNya?

WerdNya figured out Hosomichi's real name, I think she crossed a line there.

Hosomichi's putting on a mask again like he did with Rin by pretending not to be a Zaburn fan. He's clearly experienced with that game to use a technique not even WerdNya knew of.

So the creatures in this "dungeon" are literal uncultured shut-ins.

Why are they fading like ghosts? Did this become horror? I was genuinely worried there.

Yakumo (the priestess on the "True Japan" side) disguises herself as an otaku. She just so happens to encounter a figure of a priestess character. The indecent truth reveals itself. The degenerates are nearby, believing the Yakumo to be a deity.

WerdNya has got Hosomichi playing live action Souko-ban, lol

I'm guessing that's her own father in the flash back.

Oh hell yes, the first non-SD mecha in the show that isn't just a statue. We finally get to see it in action

Balzac is alive and he found something to recharge Rin while they are still locked out of the room.

"Kaitei Xaburn" is how it's actually spelled in-universe.

Tortoise Banki absolutely towers over Shark One.

Cliffhanger! Can they really wrap this up in 12 episodes?

Everyone was having fun playing the game, it seems that Misa is starting to become friends with Hosomichi even though these two have a lot to evolve.

Great episode.

Hosimichi went to the underground. Akihabara sure is an awesome place. Misa Kuroki is hitoribocchi again. Will Hosimichi save her? What is Hosimichi's past, what happened back then.

Well those "things" in the dungeon sure didn't look like they lost their "culture" when the loli appeared. :D

Yep, I'm like Balzac and Ukai: the Akihabara dungeons are more definitely more appealing than ghastly to my eyes.

So, Misa actually had the same situation like Yuki, kidnapped took under their custody as another battery girl. But, since she got a big brain, she manage to disappear under the shadow of Akihabara, until she found out the recharging room for the battery girl, stole some food, and used that cardboard box as her safety place, until Hosomichi messed the things up with her. What a back story, and truly a chaotic beginning. Never expect Hosomichi get a punch like that, it must be hurt, lmao. Kuroki Misa definitely my dream girl. But Rin screen time always melted me.

Then, holy shit, that's the first time Hosomichi was venting his anger like that. Poor girl must be surprise she got a tough opponent. The problem should be cleared by the game play challenge. But once again Hosomichi found a way to shutted the shut-in girl. Though, that's not the end of Misa's game. The journey to the deep of cultured dungeon, to run an errand for the shut-in princess, putting Hosomichi lives on danger right at the end. I am sure curious, what kind of form Misa get while using the Garanndoll. Lets see next!

They clearly ran out of budget/time on this episode. A lot of awkward still shots avoiding characters talking and choppy movements. This anime isn’t good enough for me to gloss past this. Another episode like this and I’m dropping it.

This episode's budget went to that fighting game scene and it's hilarious.
Hosomichi-kun went Raging Demon then super cancelled it to air combo bug and went Dramatic Finish DragonBall FighterZ Style. He's just discovered that technique accidentally by just luckily mashing the buttons like what the hell? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Edit: I just finished episode 10. I already knew the foreshadowing, But wow.

Hosomichi special move are absolutely ridiculous lmao

Wtf that pushing box game, i played it before on Sega.
The reference are absolutely Amazing.

That girl found a figurine and thought it was for girl...
It's so funny to think about it, when we are kids it was girls who playing with Barbies doll and when we are adults it's the opposite .lol

Heh, it seems I'm the only one so far that noticed the Konami Code reference. It was quite the feat ngl.

That aside, I'm eager to see what's up with Hosomichi's past and Werdnya's too

Yes, it was :-)

There was also an Urusei Yatsura reference when he said (I think it was him) "It's dark, it's cramped, I'm scared!"

Saw this interesting thing on Twitter.

Jin Tokito, the name of Hosomichi's father, is on the Kaitei Xaburn fanbook Balzac picked up for Rin in this episode and on the live recording CD that Hosomichi got for Yuki.

Wise lesson to be learned for Hosomichi, never let the loli out of the box otherwise the room will be taken over. Well at least Tanaka is free

Hosomichi is in a real bind now, I wonder how he’ll escape. Couldn’t have happened at a worse time too, what with that enemy appearing. At least he’s making progress with this new girl. Curious to know more about her background though.

Also, I’m guessing there’s a story behind that name. Is it his dad or someone close to him? I wonder what went down.
