----------------------------------------
Now i like this episode, Imoko woke up and saw Nami on a bed beside her. She gets to meet Nerval, and in the meantime Akiha is being locked up in a room by her older sister Kazane for some purpose. Leopard is having some time on his own^^

Imoko is shocked to learn that the person who save her is Nerval himself. Nami happens to wake up and she assumes that Akiha in here at first when she saw Imoko. Nerval is kind enough to provide Imoko with drinks and cookies :) But it's funny when Nerval pour those spices into the cookies(learn from Kagura last time) thinking that it wold make the cookies taste better^^ Nami and Imoko had a small conversation and then the phone in the shop ring.

Meanwhile, Mintao and Bougainvillea are not in charge on guaring the room Akiha is in. We get to see the ghost armor again, and he got kicked hard by Mintao when he tries to approach the room. Unknown to them, Itsuki and Honoka were also there. Itsuki decided to use her flash light(the place is quite dark in her area so they can't see her at first) and she turn it on the moment Mintao and Bougainvillea turn their heads back. It makes her look like a ghost which scares both of them away and they end up dropping the key when they are running away.

At this point, Nerval seem to be having some problems of his own. Akiha, Itsuki and Honoka are running away but they got found by Kazane. Leopard's eyes change from red to blue when he is faced by enemy and he proceeds to attack it. We get to meet Takane in a car with Kazane and Akiha inside.

As you can see, Leopard is gone hay wired but Nerval appear at the very end which is good. We should be seeing them facing each other.

All I am really want to say "LOL" and "WHAT?" and "LOL" and "WHAT?" and I lol again.

I will be a noob if I ever to have a thought of taking this series serious ever again even with just 2 episodes left.

I would say this is a really enjoyable episode despite all the WTF happened in the episode.

Oh yeah that Icy crystal Colony looks so kickass.

So you're telling me in ep 24 that Leopard is the bad guy and Nerval is the good guy or I just jumped into conclusions?

While it is possible that Nerval could have build Leopard, It's probably more of a Master to Pupil kind of saying.

Anyway, it seems Lelouch truly has shown up in the series. I love these colony battles, I hope Nerval Vs Leopard doesn't disappoint...

But at least we know we're going towards the "big misunderstanding, everyone's actually good" ending.

I could agree with noteDhero about the ending, but there is something that we haven't known yet. Why did Nerval want all the Shishidou sisters to be in one place? If both sides are good then why did Sakura chose Nerval but not her own family? What exactly the KEY that they have been mentioned it for a while now? Or everything has something to do with the tittle?

Wasn't Sakura a prisoner or tricked or something? I thought that Akiha et. al were on a mission to protect a scientist who had been kidnapped and it turned out to be Sakura.

I'm guessing Akiha is the key. Takane is a warrior, Sakura is a scientific genius, Kazane is a business/military strategist, Nami has whatever that power was that Nerval mentioned in the episode before this, and Akiha is just Akiha, the girl who leaps through space.

Ah I got name mess up, I mean why did Kagura chose Nerval but not her own family? We know that she was on a mission to kill Nerval but why did she join him instead.

Well, we know that Akiha is the key but we don't know what exactly that key is or its purpose.

I think Leopard is the reason that Kagura chose Nerval. I'm going to guess that Leopard went all Zero and tried to rule the world, and thats when Nerval and Kagura decided that they would villify themselves to either foster growth in Leopard's character, or try to stop him completely.

I'm gonna guess Akiha has the potential to unlock that growth in Leopard...and maybe colonies in general.

When Kazane says that Akiha is the key, I think she means the key to trigger Leopard's cannon.

But well.. two more episodes left. They should probably be revealing more then.

@noteDhero: You could be right but it is still kind of puzzle me a little. If what is happening to Leopard go into blue eye mode right now was exact the same thing happened from last time. And everything can be done nicely with just Akiha as the key.Then what was the point of Kagura joining with Nerval? I think she could just be on her family's side and doing the same thing. But this leads me to wonder what exactly happened in her last battle with Nerval? And what was written in the letter she left at the bar for Akiha?

Am I thinking or expecting thing too much from this series?

If that was the case then the word "KEY" shouldn't be still important till now. Or maybe this series didn't make sense itself.

I think you're expecting too much, but I think I am too so it doesn't matter. :D

I'm going to guess that Kazane just doesn't trust Leopard, and sees the other Shishidous as ignorant since they haven't seen Dark Leopard. Or she could be brainwashed, since that explains her lack of a personality. That's why I feel like the ending is going to be one of those big misunderstandings where no one is technically in the wrong...you know except for some of those box people having melted brains or whatever that was.

I think we will get an explanation for why Kazane left since she has been in the show since what, the first few seconds of the first episode? Strangely, I think these are all questions that can be answered by the end of the series.

"Good Job" really made me LOLLOLLL. So cute. Can't wait for Picture Drama 3.

And Leopard really is Nerval's "son".

He says musuko. Which means son. Or, as a slang it could mean... "pe*is".

And in Episode 7, he also calls him his son. Bet nobody noticed. HAH!

Wow, what a surprising turn of events ! I never imagined Leopard could become evil just because of his new upgrades ^^ Nerval almost looks like the good guy now ;)

I always wondered why the ANN premise of the series said Akiha teamed up wtih an evil AI. Interesting turn of events, gotta say I like evil Leopard and the way he obliterated Benkei effortlessly was fantastic. Can't wait for the epic battle between gods.

Will this be the last we see Tsutsuji & Benkei? Aww.... I like those two. Leopard just crushed Tsutsuji's dream in making Benkei a God in a flash.

About Leopard, it looks like the new sword that Leopard equipped unleashed the evil Leopard that shock the universe 50 years ago, making me wonder what happen 50 years ago? Hope that these last 2 episodes will say something about it.

The headless knight ince again appeared, by totally owned by Mintao & Boungainvillea from the Mystery Department =)

Next will be father-son battle, Evil Leopard vs Nerval, will be looking forward for it.

Itsuki scaring the girls was quite funny.

Nerval wants to understand humans, Nami says she hates humans and then he ditches her. If even the "evil" AI doesn't want to deal with you, you should realize that something is wrong with you.
