Shit got real fast this episode.

Kaede seemed really excited to fight and against Hitoe, she's not holding back. Honestly, the two are so different in terms of fighting style and personality. That being said, I think the episode made Kaede seem rather desperate for a victory.

Combining the music and psychology, Kaede is pretty much a total psycho at this point. Poor Hitoe.

That wasn't Kaede, or at least, the original one, it was her former LRIG Layla in her body.

It was brutal, but I kinda expected Hitoe to lose her LRIG at one point, but not THIS early. Now it makes me wonder what she would look like if she battles again using herself as an LRIG.

Meh... okay episode i guess, we get to learn a bit more about the Key Cards, but the characters say some really questionable things.

First off, why is Suzuko acting like memory alteration is a big plot twist oh le massive reveal??? It's literally exactly the same as the previous Selector Battles in Incited ffs!!! I knew Suzuko was stupid, but come on... And no way in hell should Suzuko be able to recover Chinatsu's memories. Only Tama, who we saw at the end, should be capable of that.

Also, why are Midoriko and Hitoe acting like they can avoid fighting to protect their memories? The time limit is a thing, and the LRIGs know that. And Hitoe, how dare you compare Aki-Lucky with Layla...

And my god Layla... why does she exist? She must be by far and away the edgiest anime character ever. Even 4℃ from Steins Gate can't compare. And we're talking about the bad kind of edgyness. She even somehow managed to take Wixoss sex jokes a step too far... God i hate her. Couldn't they just bring Ulith back from the dead?

I'd say the LRIGs Carnival used vs Hanna were some nice fanservice, but nobody cares about LRIGs from Incited. I don't even remember the names of their Selectors! Just that the one guy was some random douche and the other guy was a Kida Masaomi look-alike with an imouto complex.
Oh well... at least we got confirmation that LRIGs other than one's self can be summoned with the Key Cards, which means the Akira-Remember dream team is looking more and more probable!!!

Looking forward to next week, the last 2 episodes have been an improvement over the first 2 rather disappointing episodes.

to be honest, i'm only expecting iona to appear in this show and to see tama an ru obviously. well i kinda like what i get just there is no iona. but seriously gonna be honest, im starting to get a little bit disappointed... because... i feel like this show completely lack of stimulation or i mean physiological impact compared to the very first wixoss, and the mystery, it is kinda look plain to me. i know that the main character is the blue hair girl right now, and about the second wixoss,, it wasnt that bad imo since it's a stand alone story, but since they have collab together, i feel like the plot is all over the place. compared to the first wixoos, they executed it slowly so that we can feel the madness deep into us, and to be honest i did feel it a lot every battle but somehow it feels different with this one. it was kinda the same thing like the second wixoss with no change at all of the atmosphere or maybe should i say the mood.

i cant really describe it well but that's how i think
either way im still gonna watch this show, it might went into a real gem in the middle. and im still expecting to see iona. or maybe an explanation of her whereabouts. if tama is tama then iona should be iona. if iona fused with tama then it would be maya.
seriously, this thing has a very massive potential.
tama level 7 ?

If a Selector loses her LRIG she can use herself instead. But suppose she loses, then she will become the LRIG of the victor. That's kinda humiliating... but also potentially amusing :)


As villains, Layla and Carnival are just crap really. I'm concerned about Mr Tsuchiya's writing capabilities at this point. I just hope he doesn't mess it up too badly even if there are a lot of characters to juggle. Right now I'm just glad Kiyoi appears each ep. Also hope Yuki will appear at some point too.

Hitoe really is the unlucky one. Although her skills at the WIXOSS game has improved a lot, it wasn't enough to help her as she tasted defeat against the psychobitch, Layla, and lost her LRIG, Midoriko. D=

Hanna is also in the same position as she also lost her LRIG to Carnival. It'll be interesting to see how these two selector continue to battle, most likely, using themselves as LRIG's, just like Layla.

Tama was sensing something at the end of the episode, so I can only guess that she and Ruko will be involved in the selector matches soon.

so the loser is still selectors, I don't know, may be a selector can give their LRIGs for another selector?

kiyoi is having milulun now, may be she will give mirulun to hanna and she can continue the fight.

Did not expect Hitoe to lose this early.

That said they spent most of the episode reiterating on things that've already been established so it didn't really feel like there was much progression in the episode.

So from what it looks like Kiyoi lost to Carnival , Hanna lost to Carnival, but they still have that key card and a couple of coins.......so does that mean that they can still get back into the business of selector battle using themselves as LIRG?????? Poor Hitoe she lost early to Layla. so I'm guessing that Tama might get back into the business of being a LRIG again and Ruko will be back in the business of being a selector, am I right?

This was another thrilling episode, please keep this up WIXOSS!

The only thing I'm not a fan of is Suzuko's motivation for joining the Selector battles. I can certainly buy that she would consider fighting to win back Chinatsu's memories, but as soon as she remembers that getting to that point requires stripping other people of their memories, her personality from what we've seen of her shouldn't allow her to take that kind of action.

But truly, aside from that, I loved this episode!

I really curious to her and other Selector who lost their LRIG....

Layla makes Akira and Ulith look sane in comparison.

Suzuko was kinda disturbing at the beginning.

She lost to Kou last season but didn't saw anything to believe she fought Carnival after beating Akira.

Don't think they fought either. Yet.

Also, I don't think you can "give" your extra LRIGs stored to others, they are probably kept for combined coin effects, in the new function "unlock" (like Carnival did).



Okay epi, would prefer Hannah vs Carnival to be a little longer, and more Kiyoi, but at least the plot is moving well (2 protags lost, one of each series).

Only Ruuko remains with no card (oh, and Chinatsu...not sure she will ever get one), and we know is going to be a Tama. When she uses her unlock function we can probably see 2nd!Iona/Yuki/Kuro again in the combo.
I predict that it will be the around episode 6 this will happen; next one will likely be Suzuko joining with Hanna and Kiyoi, and some Yuzuki action (likely vs Laya? red vs red decks).

Aaaaannnd! the WIXOSS Avengers still continues!
we got more additional rules: you can still remain as a Selector even if you lost your LRIG...
and then there's: from the previous episode with key cards, you could use 2 LRIGs
and then a new one: that if you lose, your LRIG is taken...
and also i noticed that you could battle without an LRIG but as a selector you will solely be the LRIG fighting for yourself? lolz Hitoe lost from that method and what's more its against Layla! (Kaede's LRIG) oh man! gotta remember prev seasons! there's so many!
5/5.

So bascially this episode was the slow down and explain things to people who didn’t get it last episode, like we could clearly see that you can summon yourself as an LRIG, have two LRIGS on the field at once and that you stay as a selector last episode, I don’t think we needed someone to say it outloud for us but maybe some people need that, idk.

Also seeing the intro again made me realise something, Tama is most likely going to be a slector and when we see her fighting in the intro is a situation where she has summoned herself onto the board as an LRIG, of course that’s just a theory but I think that’ll be a cool way to do it, make Tama a selector instead, that’ll be interesting.

Good to see some battle happening, they’re always nice to watch and the character drama is there but I’m still waiting for things to really pick up, so far it’s just been lots and lots of set up.
LOL, your opinion is wrong!

I see by what Carnival meant by wanting the game to be eternal. Damn! This is high stakes, can use 2 LRIGs and also can use yourself? The way things are going I can't imagine it limited to 12/13 episodes and I cringe at the thought that they might turn it up on the plot.

I'm highly amused by some above saying the writing is going downhill *rolling my eyes at the idiocy*.

Wow wow wow. BEING YOUR OWN LRIG??? yassss. BLOOD boils in my veins when i experience the pain and the collision myself. Being a lrig herself, its ofcourse understandable why she prefers to fight and experience it yourself.
I knew Hitoe would lose, but at one point i was like WOW she is doing it, but then .... L...Layla just punched through the wall, that was so cool.

"You are self-centered, too aggressive, bend people to act in a certain way just to satisfy your lust. You remind me of that one person, but this time i will be the one to stop you"
HAHHHHHHHHHH. But kudos to her trying..... really.

Hanna caring and protecting Suzuko <3 dat was sweeeeeet, such sweet sweet sugar. I like that friends-caring type of Hanna <3 She was pretty decisive in her battle tho. Displaying her confidence and much important experience from previous battles, But ofcourse.... ofcourse, who would expect 2 Lrigs lol.

So many new rules.... Can steal Lrig. 2 Lrig. Can become Lrig yourself. Unlock and coin bet is essential to winning. Now hopefully the will find a way with Kiyoi since Hanna is unable to battle she can brainstorm at least.

MAGICAL WICOROSSSS <3

Suzuko keeps saying how she ended the selector battles from season 3, is she just talking just for herself? Like, by defeating Kou, she didn't completely end the battles, she just got out of it herself...right?

Nooooooo why does Hitoe have to lose so early again =_=

So the unlock coin bet holds extra LRIGs such as the ones you get from winning, and you can summon these LRIGs, so does that mean that if you turn yourself into a LRIG and then you lose, your human self disappears and you stay as a LRIG in the hands of whoever beat you? O_o
