Being a competitive person, it doesn't surprise me how Takina reacted this episode.

This episode was more chill than the others in terms of action and violence. Also, I like how Chisato considers Takina more and more as a friend now.

The secret of Chisato's bullets dodging ability was disclosed. She simply anticipates the line of fire and the trigger timing from opponent's posture.

Less action this time, but I think this was still my favorite episode so far.

I love Chitaso and Takina's chemistry. That yuri bait scene was pretty sweet.

Poor Takina. She doesn't deserve all that crap. I hate those people.

Those people were toxic and rotten. It's better for Takina to stay at the cafe with Chisato than to live in that rotten organization.

God damn bitches everywhere, they really harassing Takina lol. Not like I was expecting something else, because yeah that's how they deal with anything in Japan.

Also no looking ahead in time logic to dodge bullets, damn.

Chisato definitely has amazing reflexes. Didn't think she could be so aggressive though. Anything for a friend I guess.
The way she rolled her r's at 11:33 and 17:25 reminded me of a yakuza XD.

The 2-v-2 match was awesome and Takina got to pay Fuki back for that punch. With this I hope she can move forward at the LycoRyco cafe.

That was a good episode, albeit a bit frustrating. I'm surprised there aren't more rogue Lycoris with how unsupportive the main organization is of their members. I wouldn't mind if Chisato turned on them at this point, though she's basically making use of their resources without being tied down. So if nothing else she seems to be sticking it to them a little bit.

Anyway, I'm glad to see Chisato and Takina got some good hits in against Fuki and the new girl. At least that felt a little bit cathartic after such a catty encounter.

That scene with Chisato carrying Takina, was a moment to chant "Yuri, yuri".

After that mock battle, I wonder how long until a rogue Lycoris appear.

so thats it? Chisato just have genius insight and reflexes? thats the secret to her Ultra Instinct? she might be genetically enhanced like a super solider though since she is so physically gifted too

Chisato and Takina both really going for insubordination (you will be fired on a regular job because of this) they do not follow the chain of command especially Chisato

a very good episode again

and Chisato with the life lesson "there are things you can gain from losing something" and foreshadowing? maybe a death flag for Chisato

Imagine the plot twist:

Chisato is a genetically modified human by the Allan something society. She then either escaped the facility due to her enhanced powers & found by the DA OR sent to the DA as a mole herself without the DA knowing her true potential. Man that's gonna be epic~!

For real though. She didn't break a sweat during the physical examinations. There's got to be something behind that. That may also explain why she can throw a grown man like she did in episode 2

There's a high possibility there. The meaning behind the flower used in the story because if not mistaken, it usually symbolizes death. Also there is something similar probably in the 2nd trailer & the OP preview. It could also mean that they will have a huge target on their backs, with the full weight of the DA bearing on them

This was a fine episode, though it felt a bit rushed. Like the headquarters messing up, Chisato's talk with Takina at the fountain, becoming so coordinated and in tune with each other that they excute that move in a split second. No problems with these scenes in particular, they're just things I would've expected to come at least halfway through the story, not the 3rd episode. Makes me wonder what the rest of the show is gonna do.

Still, liked the episode. Definitely better than the first 2.

Edit: I just realized...they are shooting paintballs at each other. I've only been to a painball place once but these things hurt if they hit an exposed part of the skin. They definitely leave marks even if they don't penetrate. The fact that they're shooting each other without any protection other than those glasses, but look fine afterwards I guess they're really really weak paintballs? that fly at similiar speed to actual bullets? ok show....

The mock battle result was pretty obvious but still felt cathartic to watch (especially when Takina returned the punch to Fuki with a vengeance), and it's good to see Takina finally start to really open up a little with Chisato. It's a step in the right direction for her as her view opens up. It's needed for her since that main organization definitely are pretty terrible with supporting their members and for their own issues that got Takina kicked out, not like Kusunoki tried to take responsibility for what happened with the system and timing there.

This is by far the best Episode for me.
Story Concept is great but that's A-1 Pictures' power that makes it feels like it's superior and higher standard than other anime. Just like they did in 86-Eighty-Six Episode 22/23 and Kaguya-sama 3 Episode 13.

Great episode! Takina doesn't want to play games. When she heard Chisato will meet with Kusunoki she instantly opened the door and said she wanted to go!
Chisato allows it.
The commander doesn't seem to want to budge on letting Takina back in DA. Only Chisayo stood up for her.
Also, the commander is the ugliest person I think I have ever seen in my life. How the hell is she so FREAKING UGLY?!! Seems there was hacking incident that took place, not radio interference and they masked it by letting Takina go... what horrible people.

I'm happy Takina took part in the 2v2 with Chisato and showed the people making fun of her who are the real losers.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Why do they think they can even take on Chisato??? If she can dodge AK bullets she sure as hell won’t have any issues with paintballs, glad she made a fool of those girls…specially Takina’s successor.

If the explosive are triggered before Chisato can leave the blast zone, yes.

As for shotgun, this is a bit tricky. At close range (below 3 meters), I don't think shotgun dispersion is wide enough to make it harder for Chisato to dodge. The best scenario for shotgun to work would be an ambush shot in empty and narrow space + no prior info that the enemy have shotgun.

Do note that these 2 opinions of mine might get invalidated in later episode though.

If you want to go with my most favorite weapon, white phosphorus.

It's quite awkward seeing Chisato defending Takina when they mention Takina was out of DA in the first place is due to Takina literally killing off every enemy without leaving any one to get Intel out of.

Cause Chisato herself doesn't like killings... so it felt like Chisato here is defending killings... which is the exact opposite of previous episode when Chisato decides to "save" everyone, even the enemies without killing anyone...

___ ___ ___

And we got more Chisato showcasing her "ultra instinct" bullet dodging, LOL

(Different from matrix, cause she's "reading the path" of the bullets instead of "seeing the bullet")



And looks like Takina is starting to warm up to Chisato. Maybe Takina will kill less now... especially since that was the original reason she got kicked out of DA.

TBH, it's more or less "Shojo Ai", not yet "Yuri".

Basically very close relationship between girls with subtle romance, but not to the point of full blown romance where they would do "intimate touchings"

This episode doubled down on what was awful about the last episode.

It seems the people who thought there was some kind of magic of technology involved were simply wrong, the show is just plain stupid and gives us a regular girl who just so happens to be sooooo skilled that she can follow the trajectory, etc. of bullets even up close to her. Truly a brilliant idea for an action thriller: make a show with no stakes for the protagonist, put an emphasis on shooting battles but make it so the protagonist cannot even get shot. This show is "cute girls doing not-so-cute-things" with zero actual thought behind it.
