Aki finally corners the worm type Mecha-Ude user who killed her family. But to her shock, the enemy’s true identity is her twin sister, Fubuki, who was thought to have died in the accident.

As Fubuki reveals the truth behind the incident, Aki is overwhelmed by the unexpected reunion—and then an even crueler truth comes to light.

Aki should be able to tell that this is a trap set by her sister. The enemy doesn't know that Hikaru can't produce special element and Alma fused with his coat instead of his actual body. And somehow the enemy demand Hikaru's life, assuming he's some kind of special mecha-user. That's a very obvious mistake that Aki should be able to spot, but I don't know how she'll handle the situation. She might go along with her sister despite fully know that it's a trap because she love her sister so much.

Yeah, I compeltely didn't buy Fubuki's act as she started crying way too suddenly riight after killing frog dude. Aki fell for it though and now she's gonna battle Hikaru only not alone as he has Jun reluctantly on his side as well as that weird bushido spirited Mecha-ude. Will next episode bring her to her senses?

It was her sister as expected.
So many secrets and interesting stuff going on the the moment, it's quite exciting.
Fubuki was rather energetic at the end, I wonder if she's actually a villain who wants Hikaru's power ust for herself.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

Show continues to be criminally slept on. Another amazing episode. Honestly I didn’t see the twist with Fubuki coming, I assumed she genuinely was dying but it def looks like she’s up to no good and she or Amarlyis is hiding something. There must be another group involved in this and maybe Fubuki got caught up in the middle? The story is actually really good in this show and I’m constantly wanting more after these eps end.

Hopefully we will still be able to get that hangout session at Hiakaru’s house soon.. Shirayama always cracks me up with her antics

Aki's Little Sister is up to no good. I think that story is 50% bovine scatology.

Three things

1: it was obvious it was her sister
2: this anime would be so much better if it wasn’t so predictable
3: her sister is definitely a liar

@Vanytas this series would benefit from more episodes. Trying to stuff what should be 20 to 24 episodes in 12 always results in cut corners and missed opportunities.

Even if the Amaryllis situation is cliché the execution could have redeemed it but they couldn't get it right so it falls flat. Though with it being 12 episodes I doubt they could do much else except run with the cliché.

This episode however pretty much seals it that everyone is shady which we already knew.

Yeah unfortunately it falls flat and is very cliche but it’s still an ok show one of the better ones this season actually it just sucks they didn’t get more room or didn’t know how to use the room they have to make it less cliche and more exciting so it won’t fall flat because yes that could have been a really good show way better than it is right now which is indeed kind of sad

Aki better redeem herself cause it’s obvious the story’s a lie. I reckon her sister purposely killed her parents for experimenting on them with the mecha. Does aki not ever question what kind of researches her parents were because it’s probably one of those were she was too blind to see what her parents were gonna do

The show is great but man the pacing is WAY TOO FAST, they should've cut some subplots, especially the school one

I have to question, like why?
Does making Fubuki evil makes her a better character, or does it make Aki as a character more complete, or interesting? Does it help building the world?
If the answers are no, then why would you, the creators, write the story this way?

Welp..

Aki betrayed everyone for her "sister" (who really REALLY seems to be acting here)

Aki doesn't even suspect "we need Hikaru's life to save little sister's life" makes sense or not...

If Hikaru makes special energy, wouldn't they need him to be alive to produce it? being dead... would produce nothing, LOL..

This just proves the beginning we all had... Aki doesn't actually think at all... she's driven by pure impulse. (which interestingly the episode before this showed how she can be easily swayed by desire (to eat beef))

Fubuki's as sus as it could get. I don't think she's a villain but there's definitely more to it. Now I have faith in Aki that she won't make the wrong decision here, even given that she's low on the thinking department. Jun's there with Hikaru too and that other clown.

Btw I feel like how the mecha ude knows about stuff like bushido will be a key point in unravelling their true identity if there's more to them.
