| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not as much as action compared to the previous episode. It's still somewhat important though for the characters to reflect on some of the recent events. As far as their next move, Hibiki and the others should be ready for anything. Hell, they even got called out for a fight this episode. Is it also just me or does Tsubasa's fighting tactics feel more intense this season..? |
 |
| My brain is hurting Despair has consumed my soul Why do this to me? |
 |
| Don't worry guys, I doubt Miku died and will get kidnapped as usual. Can't have that Hibiki and Miku pairing hot yuri sex till the end of the show :P It was most likely this nub that got killed  |
 |
| I still like Kirika transformation the best, but oh my lord. Tsubasa transformation was epic and fitting!! She continues to suffer mentally, though :( |
 |
| This episode was actually really good. I'm really glad its finally getting interesting with episode 2 giving promise but then going back to normal. Miku's sudden outburst was interesting to see and to FINALLY get some of Miku's personal thoughts revealed was a major plus. I was genuinely sitting back when she started shouting XD. Tones of great HibiMiku this episode which was beautiful to see. HibiMiku bath scene was short but cute didn't expect the water guns. Elfenein's song was really good. Didn't have her normal childish voice which helped a lot. I'm a little worried XV is making too many callbacks to season 1. S1 is my favourite season but if they spend the majority of the season making S1 references and throw backs this season wont have much originality. What's good is it seems to be going In an interesting direction of having SONG and the government vs each other which will be interesting to see. It was interesting to see the government officials clearly preventing the Symphogears from getting to the enemy who was going after Elfenein. Once again I'm going to say it I'm not feeling sorry for these villains no matter how many times they show them bonding with each other. They are murderers and I wont see them as anything else. This episode even reminded us that Millarc was smiling while murdering that innocent girl so you cant say they deserve redemption because of a stupid family gimmick. They're trying to paint the Japanese government as these absolute assholes solely to change our focus from Noble Red but it aint working on me. I couldn't care less what the government and Fudo does as long as I see Noble Red die and burn. As for that last scene with Miku I'm pretty certain that wasn't Miku's blood. Its probably going to be revealed next episode that it was Millarrc cutting herself to make a blood weapon or something. Otherwise they would have shown Miku's reaction to getting stabbed and there wouldn't have been that much blood. So in that regard I'm not worried. |

| "You have no authorization to use that weapon" Other M flashback... |
| Hmm nah that def wasn't Miku getting killed there. I mean if it was... holy shit was a ballsy move, but it's prob the government twat. The bat girl has to die at some point tho. You can't just have her commit mass murder and then be like nah I did it for friendship. |
| Got the feeling Vanessa decided to kidnap Miku too. Elfnein got Carol's knowledge about alchemy to help analyse the artefact and Miku had experience using Symphogear, so she probably can equip that thing without getting blown to pieces The background vocal in Tsubasa's transformation scene kind of reminds me to Ar Tonelico's hymns |

You can't just have her commit mass murder and then be like nah I did it for friendship. Nah its definitely not Miku. Its most definitely that guy. Also completely agree about the Vampire. No matter what they do to show them being a "family" she still going to die like the rest of Symphogear's villains. nseika said: Got the feeling Vanessa decided to kidnap Miku too.

Armados said: That was a pretty good episode. Tsubasa finally used her Bankai, and it was animated really well. The typical Symphogear shock factor is useless as we all know Miku won't die. Symphogear has always been pretty predicable so this was clearly just a cheap cliffhanger. |

| We all know that wasn't Miku's blood.......but why would vampire killed that government dude? Interestingly, Fudo said he wants Nobel red to forge the artifact into the sword the protectors can use. I might have to check with other subtitle for this.....but If the sub is accurate, Does it imply that neither Hibiki and Miku can use it in the current form? or Fudo meant he wanted to turn it into other from (Sword) that someone (possibly, Tsubasa) beside those two can use it too. |

| Eww no new unknown weapons allowed... Eww...so Noble Red had it worse than FIS... What's grandma doing with a device that prevents phone calls from being tracked? It's been a while since we heard the "Yamete! Tomete!" Elfnein is singing? Welp, guess we have a new song lined up for Symphogear Live 2020. Wow. Just when Miku was about to go off on a tangent, she calms down and explains herself. Nice save... SG01 and SG03...they're not even called by their names... Miku and Elfnein going somewhere safe. I guess this is the part where they both get kidnapped... All the swords for Tsubasa's transformation! And I love music that goes along with it! Oh no! Hibiki has to deal with Other M syndrome! Oh...so Millaarc put Tsubasa under some curse that makes her see illusions? She might go berserk without some help... Did Tsubasa just pull a FF7: Advent Children? Chaos Flame Wrath Slash. Just when I thought that double saber couldn't get any doper. Look how big that is...She can raze an entire city throwing that thing around: She has to get rid of that curse though. That building could have had a lot of innocent people in it if it were not for the evacuation. The worst thing that can happen to Tsubasa now is if she kills an innocent bystander. I'm going to guess that she will try to kill one seeing Millaarc in her place, and Maria will stop Tsubasa right before she strikes. Lol at Vanessa's "pom, Pom, Pom!" Intercoms! I'm pretty sure that Millaarc was ordered to kill that Inspector. We didn't need him anyway. He's no Dr. Ver. So Millaarc was ordered to capture Elfnein and of course Miku who will be wearing the bracelet. Quite an interesting turn of events as I didn't expect Elfnein to be captured as well, but it makes sense since she was originally with the Alchemists. I guess they need her to try to activate the bracelet. Hmm...it's a stretch, but maybe...just maybe Carol will be brought back in the process. |

| I bet Milaarc killed the inspector guy. He's the one that Fudo mentioned 'useless guy that made the dogs sniffed around' in the early part of the episode. |
| Please just stop trying to make us pity the serial killers. What happened to them in the past gives them no right to do what they are doing. |
| Elfnein good at singing, kawaii. She should make that he way of relaxation. ^^ Did the villains use Carol's destroyed base as their new hideout? About Fudo... in real life, I don't like violence against old people. However, in this show.. this old man has passed any form of being a respectable person. He's even more annoying now than Dr. Ver. Just waiting for the episode that he get's pounded to the ground by Hibiki. |
| I can't believe Miku is fucking dead. |

Lol wtf it makes sense after reading that last part it fcking me last season it was stated that both hibimiku was hit by that shiny light thingy erasing the original sins hence making miku the only candidate left to wear tha bracelet now with this we can hear more of mikus singing voice and gay screaming |
| Wow, the action animation and direction was fantastic this episode. Expected it to go darker from the description and episode title, but things should get even more interesting from here on out. |
| Sorry i'm quoting you a bunch XD DarknessReality said: I share a lot of the same sentiments for sure... I'm worried it might be trying to recreate season 1 too much, but at the same time, i can't say that's a bad thing because season 1 had the most impact, and later got way too cheesy. The show is and always has been campy and sort of clumsy at portraying itself and writing... They're probably trying to give mixed feelings on the antagonists so that it's more heavy when they are defeated, but it really does come off as if they're trying hard to claw for sympathy. Anime is definitely never meant to have any political messages and is generally understood to be just entertainment, that said, ep2 (when the massacre took place) aired not even a week before the KyoAni arson, and ep3 was a couple days after. I'd really be curious to see what 2chan feels about the direction the show is taking.This episode was actually really good. I'm really glad its finally getting interesting with episode 2 giving promise but then going back to normal.

They're trying to paint the Japanese government as these absolute assholes solely to change our focus from Noble Red but it aint working on me. I couldn't care less what the government and Fudo does as long as I see Noble Red die and burn. At any rate i will disagree partially on the your statement regarding Noble Red. Vampire girl (forget her name already) needs to be killed by Tsubasa's hand, as her personal resolution and redemption for failure. The other 2 girls are accomplices moreso than particularly dirtied. Briefcase girl seems misguided, EMP girl plays big sister but also isn't as directly violent. Her fault is in not as much in blood but in inaction to improve situation and prevent the others from being too far misguided. Vampire girl recklessly summons alca-noise and throws them at civilians and personally murders them by hand as well with no sense of remorse whatsoever, she is beyond redemption. She either needs death or a fate to rot away into insanity in a cell. Fudo (he's the father guy right? bad name memory) is very much absolutely bloodsoaked, as he not only lets the shit happen on home soil, he aids in it and at times orders it to happen, once again no remorse and has his own sense of justice and motive etc... "Protect japan", against what? All of the current violence and bloodshed is claerly his doing, making him another insane dictator who needs to be beheaded. So yeah, my Death Note (i'm saying that completely tongue-in-cheek) has vampire girl and Fudo written on it. Tones of great HibiMiku this episode which was beautiful to see. HibiMiku bath scene was short but cute didn't expect the water guns. Yuri yummies is always gewd.DarknessReality said: Probably, predictability and camp is kind of this show's calling, and that's fine.

Love to read peoples thoughts on these things though. Personally I'm just a bit disappointed about XV overall since it was hyped sooo much portraying itself as a completely different thing but when it started airing you can clearly see so far its just another Symphogear season. (I've been thinking like this since S2). Again the villains have to die (Well I know they will but still). I to be honest couldn't care less about Fudo. I don't feel angry at him, I don't feel annoyed at him. Don't feel anything really he's just a dick with power same old stuff. At this point for me its just a matter of how they end the series. I don't want them to do anything permanent like Hibiki or Miku losing an arm or Hibiki permanently losing her gear. As long as everything is generally the same by the end of it like at the end of Season 1 then I'll be happy. |

DarknessReality said: Inb4 Miku is injured and needs a gear or something... A proper gear (suddenly remembering that other system she had in i think was it season 2?), or the bracer or something...don't want them to do anything permanent like Hibiki or Miku losing an arm or Hibiki permanently losing her gear. As long as everything is generally the same by the end of it like at the end of Season 1 then I'll be happy. Hmm, thinking about that, it might be alright, though it's probably best that Miku remains Hibiki's anchor to reality and normalcy, and being a vulnerable point as used currently. I need that new ep already dangit lol. But yeah if she lost an arm or something there... That was way too much blood and it fountained up extremely cartoonish. As most have assumed, it's most likely that cingy idiot man, but still so sudden and left field for that... ps: honestly not many other people were saying too much that was very conversational or had any points that could be discussed |

You can take that as a good or bad thing. Personally wish more people would discuss the bad stuff as well as the good stuff. Its definitely that dude whos been stabbed since they didn't show a single reaction face. I'm more worried about later down the season but I'm sure they wont do anything stupid since its the last season and they know if they actually do anything to the characters it'll just piss people off. I just hope XV keeps it interesting and as unpredictable as possible but I'm probably asking too much from Symphogear with that. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| interesting episode, can't wait to see wats next Oh Vanessa how i feel for u... Miku i hope ur ok |
 |
| CHAOS FLAME WRATH SLASH??! WTF IS THAT they saved the best transformation for last. Tsubasa’s is legendary And we end with a literal fountain of blood. They didn’t show it coming out of miku so she’s obviously ok. If I’m wrong, then hats off to them for having some major balls |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Another good episode. Poor Tsubasa is suffering mentally. :( |
 |
| THAT BETTER NOT BE MIKU'S BLOOD >:( >:( >:( I wonder if she didn't answer Hibiki's calls because she didn't want to burden her or get her in trouble...she can't die after they just left off on slightly tense terms :'( Poor Tsubasa, she's been suffering so much from Millaarc :( Luckily Hibiki and Genjuro are getting suspicious of what's going on! |

| The rest of the girls having a serious moment while Elfnein is in the background pouring her heart and soul into that song is just too much LMAOOO! She's so damn precious! Tsubasa gonna descend into complete madness at this rate... |
 |
| Okay, final transformation scene (unless we get a power up one) is done... Best transformation scenes imo would be Hibiki > Kirika > Chris > Tsubasa > Shiraba and finally Maria. Aha, Elf's karoke scene was so cute. That better not be Miku's blood geyser (or Elf's for the matter) otherwise we'll be seeing a berserk Hibiki. |
