Huh, that was weird..

Ouma is still apparently recovering but looks like he has vague memories of the past and about his princess. He got some chemistry with Sophia as well, which somewhat surprises me since they haven't gotten along too well.

Not bad for the buildup I guess but pacing felt bit sluggish this episode.

Many things still in mystery. Yuki-hime working together with real oni in the past, through this episode there is a chance that Kennosuke's memory now might be fake(i mean the aliens do have brainwashing method).

Brainwashing is even more likely now after this episode.

Anyway, great episode once again. Seems like a lot things are still a mystery. Ouma's flashback makes me really curious. Hopefully we'll get to learn more in the next episode, since it seems the Princess is coming again.

Everyone's leaving the town, because of that "accident" at school earlier. At least Carlos now can get closer with Mika I guess. Too bad he have to back to Spain just when the moment it perfect.
I will surely amazed just like Hauzen, when knowing about Kennosuke's generation ability. I mean, he get stabbed and then prank Yukina like that? LOL

I'm very curious about Ken's more recent flashback, with Yukihime and Oni speaking about his potential to pilot the Black Relic. If that memory is real and not fake via brainwashing, then I have to question why Yukihime and Oni are against each other now.

Yukihime wants to take out Ken for good, to restore her honour, but for now, there's no answer for Oni and his reason for protecting Ken's life.

No surprise that people are escaping the town now thanks to the incident in episode 13/14. Against his wishes, Carlos has been ordered to move to Spain, along with his father, who is also reluctant as well.

Same goes for Sophie too, who's been ordered by her parents to move back to France. Thankfully, she's showing signs of hesitation in doing so. Considering how much of an asset she is, having her leave would be bad, so I hope she'll stay, even if it means defying her parents order.

Lastly, Ken's recovery skills are impressive. Showing Yukina his healed scar, and 6-pack chest, was amusing though. =P

Overall, this was a good episode, but I'm sure the fighting will pick up again next week.

^noticed there is a very similar eyes style between the oni and ouma

There might be a relation, perhap Ouma Japan is not really this Japan afterall?

btw,
why there is so less comment? such a good anime

I'm curious about the flashback, I'm assuming that was one of Ouma's true memories if we are to assume that his memories have been tampered with. I'd think maybe they didn't think he was awake at the time and therefore missed changing that memory or it somehow resurfaced after being forcefully subdued.

Curious as to what was being shown to Muetta to instill fear into her but we'll probably see her dealing with it again after she fails again

Oh and Mika was spunky as heck this ep, glad she kicked Carlos after what he said although apparently for a completely different reason

Theory:

Efidolg is a civilization of nanomachines.

The Oni is either a renegade nanomachine colony, or an alien that managed to break free of the nanomachine's control. The Oni took something with him when he defected. When an Efidolg recon team tracked down the Oni, the recon team (nanomachines) used the Washiba clan as their hosts. The Oni helped some of the Washiba clan members break free after they became hosts. This would explain why Kennosuke has memories of battling the Oni, memories of being in a vat looking at Yukihime and the Oni standing next to each other, and why he remembers Fusunani from the past.

Yukina's father is the head of the Washiba clan and the host of Efidolg's recon team leader (the guy who didn't take off his helmet in this episode). This would explain why he knew so much about the Washiba clan despite no solid evidence, why he knew where to unearth the alien relics, and why he disappeared after he went looking for Efidolg. This would also explain why Yukina and Yukihime look similar... because they're half-sisters.

Great episode with a new flashback.
It looks like after the scene in the flashback, he was brainwashed to serve and protect her. Watching this flashback, the Oni was an ally of Yuki-hime, but one of them broke the alliance.

It was very funny to see Ouma implore the machine.

for the villian, we got to see more of it in this episode but it felt very weird. and i don't kinda like it. but just how durable that armor is....

overall, it was a good episode imo. a little bit of comedy and a bit of plot development at the same time going on. but nothing much happen in this episode. pretty good for a build up imo.

expecting to see another hand-to-hand action scene in the future episodes since those two didn't came to earth with their robots or even small ship.
looking foward to the next episode xD

Maybe that masked guy Ouma thinks is a demon is actually Yukinas father. But he also seemed to have appered in the past (flashbacks) with Yuki-hime. Maybe his is father of both of the girls (that's why they might look similar) and being able to live for a very long time.

The mix of comedy and mystery this episode sure is weird, not bad for a buildup I guess. 4/5

I somehow doubt being a solo pilot will get Liu Shen any more screen time :(

The alternation between slow and lively ep ep, seems not to stop, not to be a bad in absolute terms, but have a period in which there is an escalation of events linked to each other would give more charm to the plot. Drawings and animations that good, I was a bit puzzled when Mika asked to do a cosrom helped by Carlos & Co.

You don't get to make your on decisions yet Sophie, you're still a child. Though somehow the U.N. will side with the child ignoring the rights of the parents to not have their child pilot a bloody mecha I'm sure.

I wonder if Ogino's cosplaying and everything around that whole thing has something to do in the grand scheme of things or is it just purely for comedy relief and is entirely meaningless. I know I'm nitpicking but I just think it's so random.
