Since it's parts will be in different uniforms now (or so), I guess at some point they'll rip out and merge together like T-1000 in Terminator 2 :D


I think that this will happen.
We've already seen Senketsu reform pieces after being cut from a scissor blade.

Ryuko, I believe, will acquire Nudist Beach's help in either reclaiming Senketsu's pieces, or at least, getting to where they are located.

In all seriousness, I definitely won't be able to wait for next week. Maybe I should not watch the series until it's all done so I can marathon it... but then I risk spoilers. Ah!
Anime fan since 2005. Well, it was more like a Cardcaptor Sakura fan. Shucks, that was all in the past. I've changed.

Wow, that newspaper guy. I was not expecting that... but I felt it was kind of stupid at the same time. Was it ever mentioned that Nui had the power to transform into someone else?

Poor Ryuko, but at the same time, she kind of deserved it. She should have definitely known that at her current stage, she's no match for Nui.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

man, I knew something was up with the newspaper guy, but I liked him so much that I simply forgot about my suspicions.

Best episode so far..

Also, it really put the ED in a new light now. The whole thing is Ryouko missing sanketsu, and at the very end, building the determination to get him back/move on. (more likely the latter)

Anyway I have a feeling sanketsu will be destributed into a whole bunch of different clothes, and the bond between him and ryouko will allow her to control a whole bunch of uniforms.

Great episode! But I'm kind of sad the newspaper guy turned out to be fake.
I liked him, he really seemed like he would be a cute new character.


His appearance came too sudden to me, also too randomly. I didn't doubt him to be fake although I didn't like him. Just me though

I will give credit where credit is due, i disliked the past month and a half of episodes and i thought they were getting worse with each episode, this episode was just kind of ehh up until the last 5 minutes which is the first scene in the show that ive enjoyed and it gives more potential later on

Nui was extremely annoying this time (as that male student). But in the end she managed to do what she had planned and there is full-scale war coming. Uniform is destroyed and finally something is happening.
This anime makes mi riven every time, one part of me wants to drop it because if I hate something in anime it's slapstick but other part of meis just curious how this turns out. Every episode has its bads and goods. Oh man, I am sufferning watching this but I guess I can't help myself.

Shit's starting now.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

Speaking on the subject of Blumenkranz...I really wish someone with "correct" or native pronounciation of German do a cover of it. I also hope to hear a set of "misheard lyrics" as well based on the original pronouciation...


I'm curious too. It could be it doesn't sound as well, though, sinds, as said, German is rather 'abrupt'. It's not as soft as in the lyrics now, while that softness is something that suits it pretty good.

That said, if you do understand German - albeit this will not be the case for most native English speakers - it *does* sound a bit strange and something 'not quite right' when you hear German that isn't German.


"A bit strange" is quite the understatement. German is my native language, but I couldn't understand most of the text without the lyrics (yes, they are German). There's everything in it, wrong pronunciations, missing syllables/tones and a few spoken words don't resemble the written ones at all.


yeh misspronounce happens when ppl trying to speak a language which they've never spoken before, or learned it at school

Never understood what they sang in the SnK OP and i am german too and when i got it, i was confused, why they sing "Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger" what means "They are the food and we're the hunters" .. never saw a human eating a titan :D


But its the same often in US Series.. always loughing my ass off, when "the german guy" say "your german is really good". :D

I personally liked this episode. I didn't love it, but I liked it. It's a bit of a break from the usual crazy battles we've gotten used to for the past 3 or so weeks, and it also uses that downtime to significantly change up the direction of the plot.

Only things I didn't like about the episode were the lazy animation during Ryuko and Nui's battle, and the rather simple way that Senketsu was 'lost'.

The former is likely due to the fact that this episode was outsourced to the same team who did episode 8. The latter is likely due to the fact he's not fully lost, at least not yet.

There were multiple places that hinted at the Nui reveal - like him being banned from the school just like Nui, him coming out of a girl'd bathroom stall to talk to Mako, and his left eye being covered all the time. I believe there was one more hint but I can't remember it right now..

Anyway, I can't wait to see more of this show, it's been a LONG time since I've simply just had fun watching anime like this.

Also, Nui's transformation here also highlights one of NotJizzyHitler's complaints about episode 12.

If she can use her voice changer and position as master of clothing & disguise (Couturier) to this extent, what was stopping her from having used it when she originally escaped the Matoi mansion in Ryuko's flashbacks?

It's highly likely that she used her disguise during her escape in order to frame Satsuki for the murder and lead Ryuko on a wild goose chase.

I hadn't thought of that. That would explain why Ryuko thought she saw Satsuki escaping.

I don't see how Nui's reveal as the murderer was an asspull at all. It's not like she didn't have any connection to the characters and concepts we had already been introduced to. Considering how the scissor lady's episode 1 silhouette looked nothing like any other female character we'd been introduced to, it was reasonable to assume that it would be a new character. Considering how Isshin was a scientist designing incredibly powerful clothing, it would also fall within reason that he was killed by a member of an organization revolving around clothing (read: REVOCS). She had also probably been seen by Satsuki before. It was quite a logical conclusion. Nui was acting on orders from above anyway, so why does it bother you that she's a new character?

While I absolutely expected Senketsu to leave the scene somehow, at some point, I was expecting it to occur either in episode 12 or the middle of the second half. A considerable margin of people were expecting some huge wham moment in episode 12, something like Senketsu or Mako dying. Afterwards, with the end of a long string of battles against all of the greatest antagonists (save Ragyo), it would have been conventional to bring down the pace or just dedicate an episode to the heroine getting back on her feet. Instead, we have the immediate return of Nui and the loss of Senketsu. It was executed masterfully.

Well I don't feel bad for not realizing, because I don't usually catch on to some things others do, but yeah, I must say I did not even realize his left eye was covered. That just means I was pretty surprised when she revealed herself, though.

Well, the plot thickens. I had a feeling that news club guy was bad, but I definitely wasn't expecting him to be Nui. This is going to be an interesting development... and hopefully it'll set the series back on it's feet, for me.

Only one question arises from this episode though... why was Ryuko the only one to keep clothes on after losing her uniform? And hell, where were those clothes even hiding? I guess that's 2, but oh well.
