After rerunning the events in my head, I started wondering which anime and/or manga series someone on the production team was reading/watching at the time of making it. This episode is really Tsubasa-like (to the 10th power) in plot twists, not to mention the DBZ parody w/ Subaru. And I know there's something about what happened with Caro that seems familiar somehow (other than the relation with an event for a fanfiction, since that's definitely not it...) Oh wait, "Prevent the enemies from destroying your precious things by going balistic" is really common in shonen...

My view: This episode is the episode of insanity! (Not to mention a heart-wrencher... Anyone who doesn't at least feel bad for any of the characters is either direly insensitive or has seen million times worse.) And so far, the best twist that MSLN has dropped on us.

Whoa surprises out from everywhere and plenty of over the top fighting. I was wondering what they were talking about when they kept saying type 0. Does that mean Gin and Subaru are combat cyborgs also? That fight with Subaru was insane.

And nooooo Vita =( To defeat her Zest used a skill that Agito seemed to be against using. That must have affected him in some way.

So Erio is a product of Project F. That could probably give a little insight on Fate taking care of him since they were born the same way. Caro's summon was pretty intimdating. I hope she can control that big thing.

And then there's Fate. I don't like how they taunted her in the end saying next time they meet she won't be able to defeat them. Fate seemed a bit agitated by that comment. She's not using her full strength though since the whole team has limiters. I want to see her go all out and make them eat their words.

Good stuff so far :D

What the heck just happened? Well, obviously, many things. What a epic episode. It all just kinda came crushing down.

Huge episode! The very best one so far.
Are they finally going to touch some lives? Shamal and Zafira appeared in the preview
And Ginga will reappear as a clone I believe, since her corpse was taken with them.
Caro's huge dragon was awesome, maybe she's the one with most potential out of them?

It's about time! This is the episode that's injected life into this sleep-inducing anime. It looks like someone remembered what the Nanoha series is all about!

Every moment of battle in this episode was intense and meaningful, and nothing topped Subaru's berserk moment, which was a moment of directing and choreography at its best.

I really don't think we needed 16 episodes of development to get here, but this series has officially saved itself from being a disgrace to its first two seasons.

That was AWESOME.

I mean, I thought it had its merits before, despite some boringness, but this was just too EPIC. Intense throughout... and emotional too, in addition to the pretty solours and fires.

Just awesome. We do learn a lot too, and see a lot.

Like Voltaire. :O

good episode with really good action.

As the cyborg carried the "dead" body of Ginga, I felt quite sick.
Subaru was cool , too bad that nobody from the cyborgs got a deadly hit

After that episode I wanted to kill the cyborgs by myself XD

I never would have thought I would see death and this much blood in Nanoha, this episode changed it totally, and it is a GREAT change I might add. Awesome, adrenaline pumping action is the best part of Nanoha. Sure, the story before this was a little boring and slow, but its bloody DAMN WORTH IT for everything to build up and explode like this. Jail Scaglietti and those cyborgs are gonna be nothing but scrap metal when Nanoha and Signum have their turn.

I can't type anything properly without a crapton of typos due to adrenaline rushing from this episode. HOLY FFFFFFFFFFFF.

It's been a while since an anime has made me yell at the screen (multiple times, I might add), but Nanoha reminded me of how it felt to be into an anime as much as I am into this one now. God, just yes. ;_;

Epic episode, very exciting action (and also good animation). I loved when Subaru went berserk after see Ginga. Now it should be like a western: heroes will heal their injuries, increase their power, and then kick some ciborg asses =D

I want to know more about the F Project, we need more flashbacks.

WARNING: DO NOT TRIFLE WITH SECTION SIX. You will regret it. Hard.

Starting with a girl with robotic parts that didn't took kindly that her sister was badly injured or dead (and I'm thinking about that accident she had when she was young), then with a little girl who can summon some really powerful things, then with the Wolkenritter, and then with Fate, the girl that was created to be a mage, and Nanoha, the girl that has been blowing up shit since she was 8.

I say, with the truth in my hand, that this has topped Witchblade in fighting action.

Holy fuck this is why I watch anime that epic feeling of seeing someone release their hidden potential and go ape shit. The adrenaline rush from having it make so a huge plot twist and going totally epic was great so great I crying tears of greatness.This was a great mix of drama, action, and suspense and leaves me wanting more.

Great revelations surprised me as well. Intense episode, didn't expected anyone to die. My rating for this third season is upped. Looks like things can get more dangerous than season 1 an 2.

I'm still waiting for the eipside where some of the bad guys get a nasty surprise, like Nanoha blasting the cyborg who can move through floors etc. when she was in mid-ar trying to save the one with an eye patch.

Also, i hope the general and HQ learned their lesson, if you want someone to defend you, don't gag them. This whole mess wouldn't have happend if the captains would have had their devices.

I liked that Caro summoned the black dragon..but next time a bit earlier would be good.

That was awesome O__O

Now this is why limiters are stupid. The TSAB were completely and utterly defeated. Hmm but now that I think about it...were the cyborgs really that powerful? Even Fate was having trouble even with the Zanber form which should be like crazy powerful. And what about Nanoha? It's an emergency situation but couldn't she go super-speed or at least as fast as Subaru? She was like "nah it's fine let her go first." By the time she got there, the enemy has already fled the scene.

Eisen there was probably the most-painful standard-device moment ever. As much as I love Vita, though, I have to say: Karma's a bitch. You've had that coming since A's 1. Just too bad I had to get caught in it. *wince* (/Zweimoment)

...They touched Shamal. Excuse me, I have a few throats to slit. Tho I need to save some for my gf, since they also touched Zafira.

Right, where was I? Ah, yes...How in the world did Vice muff that shot when he was younger? It looked like he had it lined up perfectly!

So, let's see. Nanoha, Erio, and Caro should be having a massive group come-apart next ep, which should include equally-massive NanoFate and Erio/Caro moments (possibly at the same time)...Subaru will have some kind of feedback from her epic rage moment...Vice should be having a come-apart over the one he just had...and Hayate will probably have one over Rein, Shamal, and Zafira. Did I miss anyone?

O yeah, and Tea will probably have one over Subaru, because she does that. Anyone-else notice that she was the only who was around for the entire battle and didn't get totally pwnt, with the possible exception of Caro? Probably karmic compensation for having gotten smoked by Nanoha a few eps ago.

Well, had a feeling Ginga has the most chances to die.. Well, I mean, she is the least shown of out group.. Not sure, if she died or was captured..
Hm.. So that flashback by the past sniper.. Maybe that's why he stopped working as one and switched to helicopter?.. Well, who knows..
Shit going down episode..
What are villains motivation anyway.. Like cyborgs are too committed to doc.. Why?.. And also what in this has that mage girl and her company?..
I mean, "father" argument is nice and all for cyborgs towards that evil doc.. But to kill other people for your daddy?.. Don't you question your daddy at all?.. Well, he really could have told some bla bla in their ears, I guess.. Or maybe they're by nature more obedient.. Or some other things..
Not sure about mage girl and her company, they seemed to be after some relic in particular, for some reason..

Zest & Vita both noticed each other's unison ability's, that was interesting to see.

those 4 worked really well together to escape from the cyborgs, the illusion magic was great, Teana & Erio both got a good shot in.

Shamal & Zafira both got wiped out and Vita is out of commision as well, not looking very good so far.

Those 3 really did a number on Ginga, wow look at Subaru, she just powered up to the next level and out of control, either way she was winning against her opponents until Sein arrived to help, unfortunately they captured Ginga.

The most shocking thing thing though was that Subaru looks to be a cyborg herself, there was lots of blood but robot parts as well.

Vivio also got captured by Lutecia & Garyu, Erio remembers his past of losing his family, turns out he is a clone as a part of the project F, he tried his best but got hurt.

Feel really sorry for that guy, he tries to do the right thing but accidentally shoots a kid.

Voltaire is a pretty wicked looking dragon that Caro summoned.

Well that didn't go well at all, some very big losses sustained, hopefully they can bounce back soon.
