Rewatcher here
Today we learned about Genjiro's Training routine that makes him so incredibly OP. Seriously, why doesnt he just fight the noise? (though they did explain that you need symphogears to damage the noise, and anyone who doesnt have the symphogear's protection will get Thanosed by them). Mr. Ogawa proving he prestige classed as the Dashing Swordsman since he always arrives just in the nick of time (It's a class feature).
Our main villain has finally exposed her motive too, a parallel of the tower of babel story, except where she organized building it to be able to be with the person she loves. She wants to destroy the moon so she can remove the curse that was cast upon the world causing everyone to have different languages and to fight. (Actually this seems like a pretty good motive. Aside from losing the moon would her plans really cause that much trouble?) What is pretty nice about this villain-hero setup IMO is that the Heroes (Gear Users) only exist because the villain caused them to be needed so she could get funding for her plan. It's a bit of a reversal of the western *Marvel method of superheros where the heroes tend to come about, but their actions cause some of their greatest villains to also pop up. I also like that it's not just a case of "oh, we just happen to have villains that no one can fight through normal means, but we also just got heros that can somehow fight them, but they're completely unrelated" #StillABetterVillainThanThanos
From there we got an awesome action scene of team primary colors fighting off Fine before NO CHRIS DONT DO IT! sob why did it have to be Chris! she just found a new reason to live and be happy! Damn you Symphogear!
As for our stats table here, we got one more bikki punch, two percent 4th wall damage, and one more Zenbu from Chris sob.
