Oh and to those who watch kill la kill

Too ironic for my tastes, especially when that was rather well-received in Kill La Kill and this isn't coming out too well for Samurai Flamenco.

I'd say it was well recieved in Kill la Kill because kill la kill makes no sense since episode one. its just mindless action and stupid plot twists. Nothing on KLK is impressive, just random garbage.

MR JUSTICE SAYS MURRICA!

The plot twist makes sense though. The alien invasion? It was just too far off to make sense. It seemed from the beginning to be like a show.

Government being corrupt not surprising at all.

In the end he'll need his old friends to help him out.

I beg to differ, the parts that make sense are actually hidden behind the more intricate designs in Kill la Kill. Only people who know these cultural references will get it. Random garbage is an understatement.

The story and setting here is incredibly messed up, unlike KLK where we already know from first episode what to expect.

Oh great, and here comes the "Good guys are accused of being the bad guys all along by a government that is actually the main evil force after all" twist. Just when you think this show can't add anymore generic plot twists. I have followed this show so far despite all the ridiculous twists, put with this stupid twist, I'm not sure I can't be bothered anymore.

Kinda reminds me of the WWE though.

Well, I think it's more believing they wouldn't possibly pull any more overused cliches out their ass. Personally I'm hating what they've done the last couple episodes, but I have a feeling/hope there's going to be a pretty decent payoff in the end.

These are all questions that we have to kinda wait to see...no?

on a side note, the reason why people don't answer any questions here is because most of them don't know jack. Most people watching this show don't even pay attention. They see stuff happening and all they can really say is OMG RANDOM or WOW THIS MAKES NO SENSE, which is really saying that they don't have the capacity or the patience to put the effort into trying to understand the story. Personally I think the show is pretty damn simple to understand once you get to ep 15/16 though.

Like I said, I hope there's a SPOILERS & Speculation or something. Talk about curiosities, my friend.

I don't know but for me I cannot believe from what I just witnessed till it left me speechless.

I've been speculating the government conspiracy for quite a while...that one was pretty obvious.
Right now I'm pretty sure the Prime Minister has another ace up his sleeve. Either ties to some evil organization or has super hero technology of his own

I believe this whole crazy plot twist serves the purpose of bringing Masayoshi back to the start. Guess we'll see the Goto x Masayoshi duo + the scientist guy and probably (although I don't really want to) maybe even the FL Girls!!! >.>

But the episode was so unpredictable, I stopped wondering what will happen next a long time ago and let myself be amazed with every coming ep. This Mr Justice is so American-like! XD To think that they'd bring USA into this!! :D Anyway, can't wait for the next episode!! ^^

I thought the rest of the Flamengers' gang would at least put up a fight...But it was only Soichi who tried to do something, that damn Prime Minister, I didn't expect him to be such an evildoer!!! -.-''' Seems like he got the bomb he wanted in the beginning of the ep!! ;D Though he used it on Soichi! >.>

@Kikimorka

Pink, Green, and Black were actually just providing cover and distraction while Blue made his way to the Prime Minister's Office to find out what was going on. Once that was accomplished it made sense to allow themselves to go with Plan A (surrender and try to clear your name) because that's what good citizens do...(Remember the attitudes towards public order in the country where this was made.) So does this mean that Flamenco has to reunite with his original team of supporters (including manager and the muckraking web journalist)?

And of course the best moment of the whole episode was when the victory parade passed Red Axe and Pink and his wife glared daggers at each other...

THIS! It really feels like the final arc of that show (only more realistic-ish). Just replace 'Kotetsu" with "Masayoshi".

However there's one thing that doesn't make sense with me...if the government is the one pulling all the strings then WHERE DID THEY GET TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN CREATE MONSTERS? I mean, you can't turn a human into a guillotine gorilla without something created outside of Earth!

Now finally everything makes sense! Thanks God!
Wow! So much happened in this episode, I can't even recollect all.
The government initiated all. That...wow. Revealed unspectacular by the way by Mr. Justice and because of this not really shocking, but still...
Don't arrest them. All the heroes...You dumb people.
I just never can sense what's going to happen next. Surprise after Surprise.

Did anyone understand why he shot himself? Good, I didn't. He talked, and talked and talked and didn't say anything, if you know what I mean. I can't really follow the anime anymore.;A;
Though I liked the end, that he decided to die and all were saved. Another thing I didn't think of.

Mr. Justice. Sings the hymn, drives in a flashy american truck, eats cornflakes and shoots a laser out of his star on the breast, yes. AMERICA.
And he was like: "Go! I'll die here for you!" and Masayoshi was like: "'kay, bye!"
Since when is he like that, that was kind of ooc, but whatever. Maybe it was what the situation has asked for, but still seemed weird.

Another intense episode this was! I hope Samurai Flamenco now gets serious! This monster and alien shit is over! Celebrate people, celebrate! Shout out to the guys who stayed with this anime! I see good things coming!
So, Run Masayoshi! Run and escape!

Government/Protagonist side gets infiltrated by bad guys, now all that is left of the protagonists are branded as enemies of the state.

Loving how they are trying every storyline possible. We went from Kick-Ass to Akibaranger and now Captain America 2/Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D.

Only now have I realized all the names of the Flamengers except for Masayoshi are color puns.
Blue: Aoshima Souichi
Green: Midorikawa Hekiru
Black: Kuroki Anji
Pink: Momoi Sakura

The Framed Hero arc it seems. I like how that will go, if I was more experienced in hero stuff I'd probably would have guessed that. Also I quite like Mister Justice, but he got taken down real quick.

Maybe Flamenco Girls will help SF, idk, see where this goes.
