Tons of action this episode. They're really giving Elfnein the spotlight to show off her abilities. I'm actually quite impressed.

Tsubasa and Hibiki kicking some ass along with Maria, Chris, etc as well. What an episode!

So, Kazanari Fudou is doing all this shit to obtain a God's power just because of Hibiki? Holy fucking shit, he just set a new low for villains with shit aspirations / objectives.

Yeah, I also got confused by that. Doesn't make much sense since the Senshou Jing was destroyed, they should've made a new gear to represent Shem Ha.

Shem Ha is on her right arm before and after the transformation so what she is wearing is probably "Senshou Jing" not Shem Ha.

As you can see many times, the god being can regenerate by "sacrificing one version of itself in a parallel universe" so bringing back "Senshou Jing" which was once used by Miku body should be easy for them.

well, as we all know, the easiest way to snap a symphogear out of excistance is the light of Senshou Jing(as they demonstrated that quite clearly in s2), so I can kinda see how Miku just gonna b..chslap them down, amalgam and x-drive and everything else they has in store atm

The subtitles were a little off on that scene. It wasn't supposed to say hibiki herself was a threat, but she would become one to him if fudou were to obtain god's power. So what fudou meant was that not only he was about to obtain the power, but also a countermeasure against hibiki, which is miku being the host

Nevertheless, full hype on shem-ha transformation scene. Lasting song long intro version made the scene even better

Not like this... NOT LIKE THIS!!!

I guess Fudo must have worked a Shenshoujing fragment into the mix at some point - he would need it's brainwashing capacity to control Shem-ha after all. Without that added in, Shem-ha would have been a free agent.

Also looks like he must have poisoned the Red's blood supply, yet at the same time I can't quite buy the idea that their just going to keel over with 5 episodes left. I 'd certainly love if they could die that easily, without allowing them much ceremony or grave in it, but I doubt it.

THERE IS A FULLY REALIZED GOD ON THE FIELD, PEOPLE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!! WE HAVE 5 FULL EPISODES OF THIS TO DEAL WITH!!!

Not much to say about this episode to be honest. Pretty good episode overall.

Obviously the best part of the episode was Miku. She's FINALLY got a gear back and has power. That transformation might be my favourite in the series its was pretty cool. Miku's eyes were also really cool just in general she has the best looking character now with the Shen ha. Cant wait to see what happens and whether we're going to get another Hibiki vs Miku.

Now I'm really interested in Hibiki's paranoia of Miku leaving her I really hope they use this to spark how much Hibiki loves Miku and how much she needs her. They genuinely seem to be building up for a big confession at the end with their relationship being tested and developed.

So they talked about something about Miku being a vessel but the power taking Miku in. Not sure what this is going to entail so looking forward to see what they do. I'm glad Symphogear are doing something new and unique for the twist.

Also its now confirmed. Miku is a true goddess.

The rest of the episode was interesting since they're purposely putting all the things that would normally be at the end of a season like X-Drive and Swan Songs (also they've completely ditched the idea that SS are a last resort harmful move that sucks). I hope this means they're doing something amazing for the ending.

Also haha shit red are now alone and betrayed. Satisfying. Except they sadly remind us that they're "not evil" and are just doing this to get their bodies back. I hope Miku flattens them in the fight

Well my prediction is Hibiki is going to be too reluctant to fight Miku this time and get her ass kicked. I hope Miku takes Hibiki from song. Now THAT would be interesting.

Overall good episode of general Symphogear except the end. Looking forward to the next episode.

Goddess Miku FTW!!!!!!!

I see, that makes more sense. He's still a shit villain in my book though. His motivations basically come down to "gonna obtain a God's power to make Nippon great again!", which is weak sauce imho.

Well, I guess that explains why Noble Red were so pathetic, because the true menace of the season is supposed to be Shem-ha Miku (and Fudou, I guess).
I hope the next 5 episodes will have some nice fights.

Pieces of the Shenshoujin were placed around the gauntlet by Vanessa, 2 episodes ago, to contain the divine power. A schematic of the Shenshoujin is shown on her screen while she talks about it.

As far as I remember, the SSJ doesn't have brainwashing capacity, it was Ver's direct feedback system causing it in G. But it has anti-relic powers, Fudo most likely wants Gungnir to be destroyed.
He must have another way to seize control.

Well it had to be in here somewhere..."Dur da Bla...DATO?"

"We got her!"
"I can still hear her singing!" Yay for self-awareness!

"To deal with the threat posed by the god killer..." Fudo sees Hibiki as a threat? In other words, he just wants to ensure that absolutely no one is a threat to him...

Holy crap we're already getting into X-Drive!

Hehe, well I guess we can deduct that the power of a joined attack is determined by bust size...

Yep, I knew it! Protect Hibiki and let her get close!

"She's using the forbidden Amalgam!"
"This is an emergency! I'll make sure you get off with house arrest!" LOL!

HNNNGGGGGG!!!!! MIKU'S NEW TRANSFORMATION AND REDESIGN JUST WON SYMPHOGEAR! I guess you can say that this final scene is a throwback to Episode 9 of Symphogear G.

So Shem-ha took in Miku as her vessel. Miku's been saving Hibiki by calling her name several times throughout the series, but I doubt it's going to be that easy for Hibiki to do the same for Miku. This will definitely put Hibiki to the test. We don't know what will happen for these remaining episodes, but I can make two guesses: 1. Fudo's plan to control Shem-ha backfires on him leading to Shem-ha to unleash chaos all over resulting in Hibiki having to "kill God", or 2. Fudo succeeds in controlling Shem-ha somehow and uses her to force the Symphogears to surrender and/or destroy their relics to ensure that no one can possess the power to overthrow him. Noble Red looks like they're about to die due to Fudo "poisoning" their blood. We have yet to see Shem-ha fight, but I doubt that even Hibiki's Amalgam will not be enough to stop her. We're going to need some assistance from Carol...as soon as she recovers of course.

Considering the rise of Nationalism in Real life, Fudou is rather fitting as a villain this series, especially since it's taken pot shots at the US government beforehand.

Also makes for a great fuck you to Shinzo Abe in the same vein as Masayoshi Shido from Persona 5.

Man I still can believe this, Miku new transformation took me surprise because even everyone was hoping to that Miku have again a Symphogear, for me it was impossible but still they do it.

Carol vs Noble Red was awesome and it's says "don't look down to Carol Malus Dienheim, the murderer of miracles".

Fudo is still a bastard even he took the time to "poisoning" their blood, well I guess that's gonna kill Millaarc, which is a character that I hate.

I can't wait for the next week and the release of the Final commander full version.

That Mikugear transformation. That Mikugear return. *mindisblown.jpg*

This season is really pulling out all the stops! Another fantastic cliffhanger at the end! Will the next episodes contain an epic fight against Shem-ha? The hype is real!! I just hope this season won't end with a sad ending because of that montage during the credits roll featuring Hibiki & Miku's friendship. I sense a death flag coming... But hopefully, I'm wrong!

Carol being tsundere was cute. <3

they're lucky, Carol did not decide to go back to being evil. Or maybe she has no more reason to be evil? Her help really important here.. first chasing away Noble Red, then tell the gear users the method to use the Chateau to power up their gears.

During second battle with Noble Red. I think Carol's singing added the phonic gain needed to activate Chateau?

Miku is controlled again. I wonder how Hibiki will solve this next ep? Can't wait for next week! :)

So what exactly was the shitty old mans plan again? 'cus I kinda doubt Shem-Ha is gonna take order from him

Carol was going to chase them and probably try to finish them off. But Elfnein stopped Carol, because they got to save Miku first.

From what I understand. Evil grandpa is hoping that Shem-ha would get rid of Hibiki, because Hibiki "god killer" skill is a threat to him.

I was thinking that the bad buys are planning to use Miku to break Hibiki's spirit so they can use shattered gaze on her to neutralize the threat of Gungnir, the one thing that could stop their plans. They introduced the concept at the beginning of the season and reminded us of it when Fudo used the effect against Tsubasa so I think it would make sense from a writing perspective that they're building up to it being something important at the end.

Now that would be an interesting plot twist. Then it could be Miku saving Hibiki instead of the other way round.

I guess now that the beast girls have done everything Fudo needed them to do, he somehow poisoned them?

Holy cow. Peak animation.
This is what I call perfect animation. Zero compromises. No saving on details and no hideous 3d graphics. Those scenes in the air required such perfect coordination and spatial thinking that I don't even have the words to describe how perfectly it was portrayed. On top of that Final Commander in the background with Mizuki Nana's vocals.
