A good episode. There was a lot of action going on everywhere. And there was a lot of blood too (for this series anyways). I have high expectations for the next few episodes as things heat up. Looking forward to it.

My thoughts exactly. The only thing I didn't foresee was Vita getting stabbed like that... Damn! Also, Tea has one helluva fight on her hands.

Damn it not Vita again ;_; First Zest and now this.

Out of all of the younger squad, Teana has got the worst deal right now with 3 inside and 1 covering all the exits. They must really hate her illusion magic! Odds are heavy against her so I want to see how she's going to pull it off.

Signum hasn't had a lot of focus so I'm interested in how her fight will go also.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

lol, Vita getting stabbed by a drone that is the same type as the one that did Nanoha. They must have excellent stealth capabilities.

Gasp...why did they have to do that to my Vita? Now I'm mad....;_;

It is starting to look grim; Section Six is simply outnumbered.

I agree; lots of blood in StrikerS compared to the earlier seasons.

Yea they must hate Tea's magic a lot. Everyone is in a pinch, gonna see how this situation resolves itself, especially for Tea, and maybe Vita.

What the hell, that's such an unfair fight for Tia. She's up against 3 enemies (plus drones) and she's trapped in a barrier.

As soon as that thing stabbed Vita, I felt my jaw drop so fast. I was in complete shock. Everyone is just so screwed at this point, I don't even know what to think.

And this episode we had *two* ambushes by the bad guys, while the good guys didn't get a single one like that in all of Nanoha. And still no actually capable mage besides section six there. To think that it's both the main planet of the current civilization and the TSAB ground HQ, and it's been several hours..

They just have to stop playing fair. Caro, summon Voltaire and have him set the sky ablaze. If they are not down for good, at least they are stopped. From his previous appearence he should easily be capable of that, and it's not like Friedo or Erio couldn't do something in the mean time, too.

It would also free up Sgnum and Hayate, who can deal with the 3 cyborgs harassing Teana in the blink of an eye. Rein could join up with Vita, so she could still do a pretty good job fora while, at least cleaning up some gadgets that might be left over after Voltaire is done.

It 's just annoying to see the bad guys pull every trick in the book despite already having overwhelming numbers, and the good guys still discuss whether they should actually do this or that, instead of sending our good doctor some cyborg scrap.

Why is it always Vita XD!

And why isn't Arf with Fate? And why is Arf acting like a kid? I don't understand lol (yeah I'll just laugh it off)

In fairness, one generally doesn't keep a full combat fleet at home during what's supposed to be peacetime, if one keeps such a fleet at all. Actually, I'd consider it quite likely that those aren't even combat fleets but border-patrol fleets, and any Home Fleet they might have is a glorified picket at best.

The trouble is, they're in an urban centre, so they need to minimize their collateral damage as well. It's a tough balance to maintain...

Speaking of "our good doctor", the writers seem forgotten that Dr. Shamal can pull some nasty tricks in combat. Don't the cyborgs have a linker-core that she could just yank once one of them got pinned down? I mean, seriously, it's not like they've actually lost abilities, right?

Because she's a loli, and any given situation tends to carry greater impact with a loli involved? Basically a cheap pop. XD

Because the writers needed to punt a couple of chars into the background, and her and Yuuno were the easiest targets. -.- With Yuuno the justification at least makes sense, but Arf's is just stupid and out-of-character IMO. REJECTED!

Speaking of which, did it not occur to them that having Arf with Vita right now would be just stupidly useful? She's a shield-cracker, and Vita's about to deal with something that's likely to be heavily shielded! Not to mention that she could at least scrape a few of those gadgets off of Vita with the binds she's frequently thrown around...

The good guys will always discuss on if they should or shouldn't do something. Our crew has to put on the face that they're not underhanded like their opponents are.

Despite it being peacetime, someone precious to Nanoha and to fate has been abused and used once more. Their daughter kidnapped for Dr. Psycho's amusement. I think sending out who they have to to get Vivio back is more than acceptable. Has anyone ever even thought about how Vivio feels aside from her mama's and her other adopted family? Does the doctor even feel any sadness for what he's been doing? or is he just " oh it's in the name of science, therefore it doesn't matter about the subject's feelings."

I absolutely hate him.

Tough to say. He definitely seems to be a "science über alles" sort, but until I see evidence to the contrary, I'm assuming he'd be happier with a willing subject.

Em.. So.. If ship would use power of 2 moons?.. Can't fleet just destroy moons, and that's all?.. Yeah, it'd probably fuck this planet in the long term.. But it's not like there aren't thousands of other planets and worlds to protect.. I think, also noone would die in this case?.. As planet would be fucked in long term due to ecology change, not instantly.. But I'm not too big expert on how sudden moon destruction would affect earth..

Wow the potential of destruction the ark cradle has is incredible.

I like the new look for Arf.

Verossa's magic is a big help for Schach & Fate.

Subaru VS Ginga, didn't take long.

All alone, Injured badly and up against 3 combat cyborgs, things don't look good at all for Teana.

Agito is a fire/flame elemental, she reacted to Signum's sword when it lit up.

I did expect lots of injuries during these battles, but I really I do hope Vita won't die.
I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.
