Wow, that Kaede girl is a real ass. I feel bad for anyone that has to associate with her in this series.

Seeing Akira's insane self talking to the Bookmaker guy was not a pleasant sight to see either. However, it is important that Akira manages to get another LRIG on her side this episode. The battle this episode was really tense. I admire how tough Tama is.

On the other hand, it seems Kaede really wants to prove herself at any cost.

This was amazing. This was beyond godlike. This may seriously be the best episode of Wixoss ever. Yes, even better than any Selector episodes. What an episode.

Akira and Remember pair is a dream come true. We get Remember's backstory from Peeping Analyze with fantastic new original additons like Remember going insane and being fixated on Kiyoi. Also nice to see that the bitch's life got destroyed

And that cliffhanger, my fucking god! I instantly knew they would go there. Oh yes all of my yes, all of my fucking yes!

This just became amazing only with one episode. Like the only way this could have been even better would be if Ruu used Coin Bet - Unlock and Yuki made an appearance. But i have no doubt this will happen eventually.

Next week can't come soon enough. It's going to be glorious!

these fcking lunatics, kidnapping girls left and right, and she still haven't caught for it. wtf are police doing there?

I kinda wanna see how Akira react when Kiyoi tell her the reason all of that happen to her is bcos of the LRIG she's holding right now. well, not like reasons gonna work with Akira bcos she's a goddamn lunatic

and Ruuko vs Layla is just downright plot feeder. You're saying Yuzuki is on par with Tama? I call BS. Or is it bcos Ruuko haven't go into Selector battle in a long time, she's gotten rusty? well, might be it, but man, I was sure Ruuko gonna stomp the fight. Turn out she's weak enough that Yuzuki can outbest Tama and Layla pulling the punch... I hope she did get back her old power tho. I will not be happy if they brought Ruuko back just for those crossover hype.

and I still havent see my Iona. that's probably the main reason why Ruuko is so weak right now. bcos she didn;t have Iona by her side as a LRIG :P

Looks like the dream team has been assembled to take down poor Kiyoi. Akira and Remember are going to be such a pain to bear with next week, so I hope that Kiyoi can drop-kick the pair into the kerb and rescue her friend.

Layla agreed with Ruko's battle conditions, which was a bit of a surprise, as they both battled. It took Ruko a while to get back into the swing of things, but she and Tama won without too much of a hassle and got Yuzuki back too. What Layla craves for and for her to go 1v1 against Tama. Now that's a fight I want to see happening soon! =D

All in all, this was a pretty good episode. =)

We are getting closer to the final lap of the show, so I think people need to start to fade off. it wil be really bad if Kiyoi lose to her former bullier, so I think Aki-lucky will probably lose again, but after almost win in a turnaround battle.

I think I know the problem with the series now, it just can't maintain balance between all the separate storylines/characters.

Selector-era vs Layla is just so disconnected from everything else going on in the story and has been going on since episode 4. The Suzuko/Chinatsu just feels like it's going through the motions, like did we need another scene of them hanging out again? Do we need a scene of them talking in a restaurant every episode?

The stuff with Remember/Akira is cool, but doesn't it come off as filler? Especially if this is resolved by the next episode.

Also I like how since Akira was kidnapping Amika, they had to quickly have a shopping scene with her and Kiyoi, so we remember she exists as she's been absent since episode 2.

I think the series would have been better without the Selector-era cast. Maybe keep just Akira/Remember since they have a connection to Kiyoi and focus more on her. And this is from someone who rates the first 2 seasons very highly.

lol I hope Akira wins in the next episode because Remember/Akira make the best bitch team. I think this season has more interesting character's than the previous season but it has the issue of cramming every character from the previous seasons into a 12 episode anime. It seems too much, not sure how they can bring all these characters together for a finale and which team is going to take the spotlight.

This sums up my thoughts perfectly. This season is pretty good for blind hype, but the story is a nonsensical mess at this point.

I'll only disagree on the Remember/Akira stuff, since even if Akira loses and the situation gets resolved next episode, Kiyoi will end up getting Remember as her LRIG and that will be an extremely interesting scenario.

Fixed, Layla is cool, she is crazy about fights, you have no reasons to hate her.
But Akira is crazy, has a lame personality and she uses any lame trick to make things happen, I wonder when will she give up and disappear.

I haven't seen Layla kidnap anyone yet, all she wants is to fight, on the other hand Akira wants to destroy her opponents just to have fun.
I would like to see a fight between them.

She "kidnapped" Hanayo, Midoriko and Yuzuki just to draw Ruu and Tama out of hiding. Just because they're LRIGs doesn't make it any better.

I wouldn't call that kidnapping, she won her fights and that was the result.
She's the type to attack every player, she didn't have a plan, or at least that's how I understood it.

This episode made it clear that she's working under Carnival's orders and attacked Hitoe and Yuzuki with a specific plan in mind.

To end this, sure, Layla personally isn't interested in the kidnappings, she doesn't act out of malice like Akira does, she just wants to satisfy her own kind of crazyness.

But that's why she's so boring. She's just a plot device. She has no defining character traits other than her lust for Battorus. She has no reason to exist. Literally anybody could have played her role and it would have been 100x times better.

Akira may be trash, but at least we know how much she has suffered and why she became the way she is.

Oh shit so Akira and Kiyoi knew each other way back when Akira is bullying Kiyoi, so looks like Akira is back in the selector battle business with her former LRIG Remember whom she ignores at first ....Ok so how come Amika got abducted that easy by Akira, didn't she even put up a fight or make a dash for it??????

Actually, you've got that all wrong. (Though I understand how you got that impression from the flashback)

Akira knows Kiyoi from the first Selector Battles when Kiyoi was her LRIG.

Remember is the one that bullied Kiyoi and was previously her LRIG.

Timeline goes like this: Remember bullies Kiyoi -> Remember becomes a Selector -> Remember becomes Kiyoi's LRIG -> Kiyoi becomes Akira's LRIG (Piruruk)

This episode is the first time Remember and Akira have met.

I don't quite understand why Selectors that haven't been LRIGs before can't use themselves as LRIGs now. Why is the game giving an advantage to former LRIGs... former... winners - know what, I just solved my own problem.

In trying to word that question, I realized the game is giving an extra advantage to players that have previously WON their Selector Battles, in other words, it's a reward system - and I'm okay with that! And as for Carnival, I'm letting that slide because she's in a unique position to allow the rules to bend to her needs. I don't exactly like it, but I'm accepting it.

It's good we got Yuzuki away from Layla. Now there's just one problem... SHE'S STILL A CARD! Ruuko's fight definitely isn't ending here, and the idea of Tama and Yuzuki fighting together sounds awesome.

Kind of middle of the road episode overall, but better than last weeks, and hopefully it keeps on climbing again! I really want this series to end on a high note.

We had a Ruko-Tama fight, a crazy girl who's obsessed with the mc, based Akira and her kidnapping ways - Wixoss fanservice at it's finest!


I read Peeping Analyze a while back but not sure if Remember/ Nanashi had always been a bully of Kiyoi. That girl is awful, possibly the worst of the Wixoss pantheon of psychopaths. But can't say I hate her character overall.

I'm going to be in the minority here but I think this season has cemented Kiyoi as the bestgrill.

Yay!! Saving Private Yuzuki was a success, and Ruuko was holding herself all the duel.

Why does Layla wants to see Ruuko use her full power? If Ruuko had gone full since the beginning the episode would have lasted half the minutes.

Also...So Remember is a total bitch, she did not only murdered Kiyoi's friend, she also bullied Kiyoi back in school..

and now she teams up with Akira, that's the most obnoxious villian team I could team off.

Hope Kiyoi beats them to the point they don't remember who they were

What a great episode, I really loved that one, super good for just so many reasons. If gave good insight into the plot and moved it forward a considerable amount for an episode, we have yuzuki in ruu’s hands now but she’s still basically stuck as an LRIG for the rest of the game it seems. And also that battle was actually really good, I enjoyed it a lot even if ruuko should of been able to beat Layla faster then that.

The buildup for Akira was really nice, going to be good to see her go up against kiyoi again since there’s a lot of stakes and background between those two, plus Akira is just up to her old tricks again just like in the first season. Would of been funny if she has been like “remember when I did this last time, Yer, go to the same place” it might not even be the same place but it would of been funny if she had done that.
LOL, your opinion is wrong!

Having trouble keeping up with the body switching and all the rules lately, to be perfectly honest. A rewatch of the first Wixoss series probably would have been helpful for me.

Of course you don't remember Remember, she's not from the original Selector series, she's from a "spinoff" manga.

Ruuko's battle was a bit underwhelming since she wasn't fighting at her full strength and they weren't really enjoying the battle. Also Layla was just testing her this battle so it was just a taste of things to come. Looking forward to more batooruus though.

As far as I know the final episode count is still not confirmed so a second cour might be possible. We barely got any setup so yeah, no way they can resolve everything in 5 eps, things are just starting to move lol.

Rememeber and Akira are a good pair, they both hate Kiyoi's guts lol. Screw Remember/whatever her human's name was for reminiscing about bullying, she's so mean

LMAO when Remember was like “you're gonna have bad luck with water” and then a kid immediately bumps into her and drops their drink on her xD

Kiyoi is so stylish omg. Also I want the pancakes she and Amika were eating!!
