Aside from FMA trailer and sakana song that I like in this episode, this anime has a bad development I think. I don't mind friend vs friend cliche. But the enemy tried to recruit Sugata was very weird. All of this time they tried to kidnap his fiance and break the seal that she guard and now suddenly they want to recruit him?? Wow. Did they expect him to accept that proposal???

There're already many bad/awkward situations and plotholes that still haven't been answered yet in this anime, instead of focusing in that aspect, they added another awkward moment...

And because of what Sugata become evil? because of the kiss? If the reason is because of the kiss. I don't buy that because of the awkward setup that I mentioned above. Hope they explain this in the next episode.

So Sugata wakes up. That was fast. Preview shows them battling, though Sugata's Cybody isn't very fabulous. I'm gonna think differently and guess that next week's fight will be Sugata trying to test Takuto if he really is strong to protect Wako. Sugata may think that he's strong because he has the King's Pillar. With Sugata's different attitude now, he may think that and it kinda fits, though where the personality change came from is another matter. Just a guess though, since everyone is thinking that he became the bad guy now.
Loving the Monochrome song more and more.

I agree that someone create a thread about Sakana-chan's story of Sam.

Mame-shiba commercial and FMA movie teaser is win.

Why do they use so much stock footage for Zero time? Tauburn's appearance and Takuto's transformation as well as the aftermath. Disappointing.

The rest was quite nice though. I wonder if Sugata will join the Glittering Crux Brigade.


It's a ritualistic pattern for loldeep purposes

I just noticed that, in this episode When the Crux has their meeting, their legs doesn't move(like when they make a statement, the position of their legs will alter) because the previous episodes they like, move alot ^^

btw, Who is that man, that has been talking to fish girl? I kinda dont get the role of that guy

Well Sugata will probably become the bad guy at least for some time, I mean that girl who kissed him has the power to control any man she kissed
And also I wonder if Sugata himself actually wanted to wake up from that coma

We've seen that before when she kissed a member of the glittering crux (http://myanimelist.net/character/35612/Tetsuya_Gouda ?) he goes instantly to his Cyboddy ^^

FINALLY, this plot is going somewhere! Also, I like the extra character development when Takuto was wondering whether Wako, Sugata, and him were a trio or a couple with a third wheel. Also, evil Sugata sure is scary.

Although, it seems like Bones got a budget cut for this episode, what with less movement among the Glittering Crux (at meetings, they Glittering Crux girls are always crossing and re-crossing their legs, but not this episode) and the really flat 2D explosions when Ginga Bishounen and freckle girl were fighting in zero time....what gives, Bones?

Can't wait for the next episode.

This is a shoujo, someone needs to change the genre.

All of the trio talk was laughable. Only in a shoujo would a person be happy as a friend while supporting the woman he loved and her boyfriend.

While the first half of the episode was pretty bad, the later half turned pretty good. Although, i am deeply worried that sugata will change from being Standard Shoujo Male Archetype #1 (The rich pretty boy with no personality or emotions) to Standard Shoujo Male Archetype #2 (The Rich pretty boy Tsundere who acts cold but secretly is lonely).

This went from one of my favorite series this season to a mid range series very quickly sadly.

daayuuuum sugata. fukujun always shines when he's on sadist mode. if rivalry does happen though, chances are takuto's gonna win it out. which would suck b/c i don't like him & i'd feel bad for sugata. :'[

the episode as a whole was extremely cheesy though. BFF'S FOREVER etcetc. gimmie more fish girl. ;A;

I agree with this too.. XD

if last time i didn't like the ep because they made sugata enter a coma, now he's being turned into a bad guy? ugh...

oh well, the animation is still superb as any other ep.. so i'll continue watching..

fish girl's song is stuck to my head... but i don't dislike it.. :)

And for some reason, I'm suddenly taking this seriously, instead of just trying to find the most lulz-worthy part in each episode, taking it all as a huge piece of fabulous lulzyness.
I'm guessing this is considered good development.

Also, there was some Sarina in the episode <3 (Still too little though, she should be like... The main main character <3)

I think the fact sugata woke up at all has to directly do with Takuto.. as the Crux stated in the first episode, it was abonormal that Takuto was third phase (as if previous ginga bishounen wern't) Sugata first started waking up when he came into contact with Tauburn.. he finished waking up when Takuto slapped him. What kind of first phase can do all this? one that bends the laws of cybody related matters. With that, he pulled his sword attack off in the real world, goes into what ever level he wants, and can negate others first phases (as it was sugata's which put him into a coma)

Since sugata was already kissed before Takuto slapped him, I believe it won't be as strong as it should of been on him, but just as Takuto had to come into contact with sugata twice to fully awaken him, this will need the extra contact aswell (another slap, or having tauburn beat the crap out of his cybody should suffice)

I guess it might be kind of a "hurr I've got huge powah, do that again and I might unknowingly release some of that huge powah which will kill you", or something. Who knows?

Needs moar Sarina though. And Sakana-chan.

Don't get me wrong i like shoujo until a certain extent, but..oh well 6 more episode till i put the score on this one, let's just see how this "rivalry" in and out the battlefield will turned out

And how Sugata will become the evil one? saw it coming, and finally the reason why the heck is that "ginga bishounen" came to that isolated island will be answered next week!! god finally

So Sugata turns out to be the bad guy from a kiss or from a fabulous slap?
I was wondering the same exact thing... definitely can't wait till next week to find out more.

both. the sheer power of the kiss, followed by contact from a GAR character made him lose his mind, lol
i guess he's gonna have a chance to use his power now

Episode not bad, but the fighting is a bore, Takuto with a move knocks him out!
Narrative a bit too slow for my taste with no points yet epic, perhaps the final rectifies the situation.
Drawings and animations of level!
Maybe now there will be more involvement in the plot, for now I do not really have access to my attention.

So the clam fisher girl (Mami/Undine) Cybody Kaphrat is a regular Cybody but Mermaidoll refers to the human-sized drones it can release.


I had a feeling Sugata was going to turn evil, if the cage girl's story about Sam was actually about the main trio. So if this is the case, then Sugata's threat to Takuto was just that.

Alternatively, split personality or uncontrollable other half? After all, Undine claimed her Mermaidolls were acting on their own when Wako was attacked last episode. If this is the case then Sugata's warning that his powers are out of his control and may attack Takuto.

Everyone who predicted Sugata becoming an antagonist was right.
Now I'm really sad because even though he was really boring, Sugata was a nice guy. He fought for his friends. Now it seems he's going to fight against them. What the hell. Admittedly, this does make the show heaps more interesting. Honestly, I already want them to be reunited as a "Power Trio" again. This shit is sad.
