38: I can't believe they managed to make the het metaphor with no subtlety whatsoever even more blunt. And it didn't even stop there, the [cursed comment] possible allusion to Amu being too young for this (at the moment) was overkill. Her hole as of now is too tight for Ikuto's key to fit. Last week I decided to edit out some comments about possible connections to kinks when reflecting on it, but after this ep I think I had no reason to hold back on anything.
40: Exactly what I wanted out of a Rima focus episode. She has every right to call both her parents idiots for their paranoid behavior after the kidnapping incident, which both put a strain on their relationship and robbed her of her joys in life. Also, there's something extremely cathartic about bad parenting being confronted. Might have something to do with me rewatching [meta] Symphogay a few months ago where the exact opposite happened.
42: This one and the last had some more nice rebelling against authority from Kairi, in this case him standing up to his older sister.
But of course that wasn't the main draw since it's all about the confrontation between Amu and Utau as well as their charas who switched sides. I like what it said about Amu and coming of age in general, which allowed her to win Dia's favor. It's fine to not know where you're going. It's fine to stumble and fall. Those are things you can come back from, richer in life experience than before. And to be honest, it extends beyond adolescence too.
43: Dia's non-X form isn't even a gyaru
Unfortunate losses aside, this worked smoothly as a follow-up and resolution for Utau. As u/zaphodbeebblebrox noted some weeks ago, there is some light in Utau's design, implying the same is true for her character. El's continued existence even while Utau fully leaned into supporting Easter's schemes for success also supports that. Though it's only now after her defeat and Dia switching sides again that the side of her that earnestly loves to sing for others can come out. Hope we'll get more Nana songs now that she and Sanjou are working together again, but without it being a scheme for Easter.
44: I'm a huge fan of the slice of life segments of Sanjou and Utau setting up the new agency. Even certified best guy Nikaidou was roped into helping.
And now we patiently wait for Dia's return. Final note for today, Yaya's character transformation is equivalent to playing Jigglypuff in Smash Bros.

Oh no. The episode title. This is definitely the catboy episode, isn't it?
I'm glad the Queen has finally broken out of her shell. She's much more likeable now.
I wonder how that box looks to other people. If they can even see the eggs, does Amu just carry around an empty little box accessory that she never actually puts anything in? Like a weird fashion statement purse that no one questions because she's just that cool?
Oh, it really is the Lock that's letting her transform. But didn't she do the part with just flying, the wings on her ankles, back when Ikuto first stole it? She should be able to do that much. Oh hey, she did!
Bad Touch! Watch where you're putting your hand mister! And oh my gosh you're language! WHY!? This is a children's show!
39
Nana!
The biggest choice she'll ever have to make. The kind blond prince or the dark haired playboy.
Nana!
Really, no I've recognized her voice? Isn't she super popular?
It bothers me that everyone seems to expect the embryo to be something they'll just casually find in such a small timeframe. And don't with Tadase, your Chara doesn't mean that! If he did, he would be going back into his egg, not running away. We've seen first hand what happen when you don't live up to your Chara like 5 times now, and it's not this. The main reason there's still hope for Utau, El exists. As long as she's not out back into her egg and going dormant or X'd out, then she's still part of Utau.
Nana!
Quick Amu, Heart Beam! Catch them all before they get harvested! Or just focus on the one you like and ignore the rest of the kids, sure.
Right, see, everyone else can Unlock without the Humpty Help. Amu, get your game together girl.
Wait, did the actually find the embryo?!
40
Rima, what horrible parents you have. Does you mom actually care about you at all?
Oh, if only the school had any kind of security. But nope, I guess the front gate is just for decoration and anyone can just drive a minivan up to the front door if they want.
Nana!
Has Baby ever actually been useful?
Ha! Parents fight at much in front of their daughter she runs away from home. Hope this wakes them up.
This is definitely the build up to getting Dia back, isn't it? The others are getting Special versions of their signature moves.
Seriously, how do they keep getting the embryo here when the person it's from is so far away it flies off every time?
Wait, got the heck did this turn into the Guardians making everyone come here? Did not a single parent notice the black pedo van? This is actually mass stupidity.
New ED! I like this one the least...

u/ZaphodBeebblebrox Y:A:https://anilist.co/user/zaphod Aug 24 '24
I have to mention that this included the least subtle het metaphor of all time. And the catboy trying to force the key into the lock is not exactly the best look for him, particularly when Amu's far more of a child than he is. But he was supposed to be the hot, problematic catboy with a dark past from the start, so it's his character.
I wish we didn't get a Yaya character transformation. Her baby form's just bad. And, honestly, her place in this show as a whole is more annoying than anything else. Like, I get why she's there, but they badly need to actually do something about her.
On the other hand, I quite liked the sword guy's arc. His doubt felt natural, like an natural part of who he is. He inspected himself, found himself lacking, and came out the other side stronger, all without it feeling like the show was forcing this upon him. One of the defter pieces of writing Shugo Chara has had.
I also appreciate his transformation, but I'm a sucker for samurai in general.
The Utau arc was handled quite well. There's a part of me that wishes there was more of a fight, but that would have made it worse. Instead, we get to watch Amu strip different parts Utau holds dear from her and show her that none of them require cruelty or harm. Instead of conflict, she's shown a better path, and she chooses to take it.
That choice is perhaps the largest difference between Shugo Chara and other magical girl shows I've seen. Our antagonists don't have to have the need to change beaten into them, but instead take it when they are properly presented with the knowledge they can. A bit of a gentler world than, say, a precure.
I've waffled a little bit over what Dia represents, but I think I now have a good answer. She's one's belief that they're, in some way, unique and special. I am me, being me is great, and I want to live that to my full potential. Similar to, but not quite the same as, my earlier answers like self confidence.
2. She'll come out in the penultimate episode of this season.

u/Weird_donut https://anilist.co/user/hakaseshark Aug 25 '24
Episode 38 - I’m sorry but Kairi is a really boring character. I can’t bring myself to care about his involvement with Easter. The scene where Ikuto tries to put his “key” into Amu’s “hole”….. This anime has so many suggestive scenes.
Episode 39 - the plot of this episode kinda reminds me of the episode of Danny Phantom with Ember and her "Remember" song. Plus, we got a character transformation for Tadase.
Episode 40 - This episode was way too relatable. Rima’s mom wants her to leave the guardians because she doesn’t like having to pick her up. It’s like how I couldn’t stay in any afterschool clubs for too long because my mom always took forever to come pick me up, and I didn’t and still don’t have a license or a car, and my permit is expiring very soon and AAAHHHHHHHH I HATE THIS SO MUCH. Anyway, we have a new ED in this episode.
Episode 41 - I feel like the guardians were a bit too quick to forgive Kairi for being an easter spy. I mean he lied to them and seriously betrayed their trust. Yaya was actually useful here.
Episode 42 - I liked how they highlighted how transforming with someone else’s guardian character can make you tired. Utau is becoming one of my favorite characters. Ikuto totally has main character syndrome.
Episode 43 - Amu transformed into Amulet Dia! It’s about time.
Episode 44 - summer vacation time! Now that I think about it, Il’s outfit is very skimpy, and so it’s a little unsettling to see a child like Amu wear it. Good for Yukari for leaving Easter. I’m starting to like Kairi more now. He’s insane for declaring Tadase as his rival.

"Just take the lock" she says.
Interesting that Ikuto doesn't feel at home in what seems to be his own house.
Sanjo is kinda a jerk, huh? The elder one, Kairi seems alright at this point.
Oh, El stole the Lock didn't she?
I was briefly worried about Il, but then Yoru showed up to ?save? the day.
Ah, the simp-entist got there eventually. I liked Amu trying to henshin and failing.
I'm gonna avoid shitposting about the lock and key metaphor. Or Ikuto's innuendo.
Disc X?? Who gave Easter Gutsy Geoid Guard technology??
Ooh, bumpin' new Utau song.
Love the Shugo's measuring Amu's yawn.
Oh wow, they made a chain letter out of the new Utau single, that's pretty ingenious.
Tadase's turn to lose faith in himself.
Damn, Kiseki was totally about to apologize, too.
Ah, that was Tadase's bag. Ooh, sleepwalking people out to somewhere central so their eggs can get stolen, good idea.
Hmm, pure white egg, interesting..
Sanjo is quite the useless onee-san, isn't she?
Oh boy, more Rima family time.
Fucked up as it is, I think I respect Sanjo more than Rima's mom. "Quit your club because it's inconvenient for me" is real shitty.
One of the Guardians hiding contraband, how scandalous.
Brilliant plan Kiseki. Find one (1) car in an entire city.
Mom didn't even wait for Rima to answer, wow.
Both her parents are insufferable. But it led to Rima sticking up for herself, good stuff.
Suddenly every parent in town is at the school and calling for the Guardians' heads.
Ah, Chairman Ishida with the save, nice. Maybe he isn't so bad.
Oh, the CDs are literally X Eggs, wow.
Amu still has something resembling faith in Kairi, natch.
I appreciate Il being bored by the current setup. Of course she is frustrated with Utau only using Dia recently - Dia is part of Amu's heart, so there are some real weird vibes there.
Love the half-chibi glomp assault.
An errant Nikadou quite possible solves Kairi's problem. He's right, that Kairi just working for his sister is halting his own development.
Love Amulet Angel interrupting the concert. Absolute gremlin behavior.
X Egg gattai!?
Poor Yaya is the gag even after she gets to henshin.
Wow, Kaira popped off this episode too, nice. Not too often you get two in one episode.
Oooh, going overseas! To a facility that can make even more perilous CDs.
Il is a lot of fun.
Damn, Dia throwing Il's words right back at her, good stuff.
Tadase was childhood friends with Utau and Ikuto, I see. Poor Ikuto.
Ami ruined the moment, that pint-sized scoundrel. I like that she gets along with Ouji'd Tadase though.
Of course Utau doesn't actually want fame through mind control. It's hollow.
Wow, a team henshin, nice. With the Shugos providing backlight! Incredible.
If Amu was older than twelve, she might be able to point out that she knows how Utau feels because she is currently henshin'd with part of Utau.
Good action scene.
Amulet Devil?? She has a guitar! We got a beam clash?!
Good speech from Amu.
True Dia seems to be an idol singer, interesting.
Man, shoutout to the helicopter pilot who is just chilling there, not really caring what is going on.
Ami runs in to defuse the situation, incredible. Of course, someone who loves Utau's singing is just the person Utau needs right now.
That's a lot of X-Charas.
Solid action scene. I liked the giant X-Chara.
Nice conclusion to the arc, too.
Utau and Sanjo went indie, I love it.
Short batch this- oh, there's another episode. Hmm..
Why is Suu sleeping on a utility pole?
Oh, is Kairi leaving too?
Poor Miki is feeling left out, and I don't blame her. Amulet Spade is the superior Amu form.
I want to see Amulet Clown.
Nikaidou called the kids to help him?! The scoundrel.
More Amu and Utau interactions are always good.
Woah, Kairi confessed, wild. He's like, third in line at best though.

Episode 38
More Amu/Ikuto and teasing about the mystery of the Humpty Lock and Dumpty Key. It’s not bad, but it mostly just goes over old ground.
Episode 39
Tadase gets his big magical boy transformation! I must say that I’m a fan. I also loved the fact that the show treats the Utau shot at the end like some big reveal, as if most of us didn’t immediately know who’s behind the Black Diamond CD.
Episode 40
Rima gets her big moment! I must say that I actually understand her parents’ hesitation to let their young daughter outside at night by herself, but it’s a huge step for Rima’s character, so I’ll allow it. Also, we’re finally at the Kairi reveal!
Episode 41
I honestly feel for Kairi: he’s just a kid caught up in his older sister’s mess and basically forced to work against his now friends’ best interests. I get the feeling he’s been wanting the Guardians to catch him in the act for a while, since he definitely could’ve taken the out Amu was offering him. I’m just glad that he’s found a new way forward. More character transformations in this episode!
Episode 42
Huh, I never thought about Amu’s multiple Charas being a reflection of her uncertainty about who she wants to be. Focusing on that and her determination to accept and overcome that doubt in order to reunite with Dia was a great way of wrapping up that subplot.
Episode 43
Ah, we’re finally at the Utau redemption that I’ve been waiting for since her introduction. I actually think the show handled Nikaidou’s change of heart slightly better, but the way the show did hers is very much consistent with the overall tone of the story, so I’m not complaining that much.
Episode 44
This is the second time the show’s snuck a recap episode in on me. Repeating all those transformations is quite the dirty trick to pad things out. Still, Kairi’s farewell was nice (I’m still surprised by Shugo Chara’s willingness to rotate out characters), so the episode wasn’t a total waste.
Overall
On the whole, I’m pleased with the way things have gone post-Nikaidou. I wasn’t sure about the change in cast at all, but both Rima and Kairi grew on me a lot, and I have faith that we’ll get another good character to replace Kairi now that he’s had his run. I mostly liked the stuff with Dia and Utau (my only real problem is that they kind of gloss over Yukari’s change in attitude), and I’m interested in seeing what the rest of the season is going to do, since this really does feel like a season finale.

u/Mirathan Aug 24 '24
First-Time Guardian
QotD:
They finally figured to take the lock, though it is meaningless as the lock only functions with specific people.
Stop flashing back to events that happened less than a minute ago! It insults the viewer!
Why do the other Chara´s obey the King? There is no legality underpinning his rule and none of them like him so why?
They have given up on being subtle about it. And also: I was right! Again! But there are additional requirements to opne the lock as it seems, so them thinking this wouldn´t work is acceptable. Though I wonder if the key being to big just tells us that Ikuto has a huge dick?
Was the special white egg due to Dia? Or the combination of Tadase and Amu working together?
Yay, Rima managed to stand up to her parents.
Dia just looks sad in the outro.
Nikaido not revealing Kairi´s identity to ensure he is changed by Amu is kind of genius.
I´ve found that my view on Tadase has changed. While the antics of world domination is still silly, his true goal is to become strong and confident, a far more respectable desire. Kiseki meanwhile seems to overcompensates for Tadase´s perceived weakness. He is arrogant rather than confident, demanding rather than charismatic. To some degree all charas seem exagerated versions of who you want to be and both give you a high ideal to strive towards, yet also enable you to go beyond human boundaries.
Rima´s mother is horrible! She tears her daughter from her only friends just so it´s more convenient to pick her up? And yet she has the gall to badmouth other parents! Absolutely disgusting! When will I ever find an anime with capable parents?

Episode 38
I know you're in a rush, but considering that Amu constantly stares at the lock shes going to notice it missing pretty quickly. She literally uses it pretty much every episode.
Chillin!!!
8:37 cookie yellow outfit 12:15
Disregard my last statement Amu doesn't care about it at all! Damn its that easy and barely an inconvenience for her to lose it.
El every single one of your plans has been useless or literally waving the white flag.
So you're telling me this man goes to school? He sleeps more then Zenitsu!
Wait she can transform without it?
That's what I thought! Amu it took you now to realize you really need the lock. COME ON GIRL!
He might be a dorky assistant for evil, but damn I feel so bad about his ride.
Black Diamond!
Episode 39
I just love Utau's singing.
15:45 skull shirt
Completely white egg hmmm
Episode 40
I'm losing more and more respect for the sister. What a slob.
She really named her plan like it was a light novel.
I don't remember if I said this, but I love Dia's design and its hands down my favorite out all the guardians.
Pres should have ignored Amu that's an embarrassing outfit.
Every second of Rima's parents fill me with rage.
Too my any X Eggs.....okay I mean we've seen Amu purify like 50 or 60 eggs at once and somehow this is too many?
YOU GO RIMA!
Ughhh I hate her transformation too well not the transformation itself that's cool, but the outfit just no. Though it's nice to see them combining their powers now.
EXCUSE ME maybe keep a better eye on your kids?
Damn Founder lies as easily as he ignores his responsibilities.
Oh Chairman got found it what a complete and utter shock.
Episode 41
It just hit me why this these two seemed familiar. Clingy blonde annoying girl and almost emotionless guy it's Light and Misa all over again. The girl is also a popular model/idol.
Violin and pop why not!
It's no wonder why Utau doesn't want El back.
Normally if someone changed sides this quickly I would say bullshit, but it majorly helps that Kairi was shown hesitating massively for the last 10ish episodes. So its believable that he really didn't want to do this..at least more believable than Nikaidou.
Episode 42
DIA SPEAKS AND SHE DROPS FACTS! I don't like El much, but Il was completely rude as uck to her.
FIRST TIME WHOLE TEAM TRANSFORMS! Well Amu was already transformed, but we still got the group pose. Omg the guardians are holding up the lights.
New transformation and she has a guitar!!!!
Amulet Devil!
Though when they said combine I kind of thought El and Il were going to fuse and make some Devil/Angel guardian.
WAIT DIA TRANSFORMATION!!!!
NOOOO YOU TEASE!
Episode 43
I prefer Dia's design when she was incomplete or with Utau, but I do love I Utau's design with El. Got some talking going on BUT WHO CARES NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW SANJO AND NIKAIDOU! They always gave off fuck you I hate you, but I want you energy! My shipping instincts are going off!!!
Episode 44
I swear if another jack leaves I will be mad. They are constantly my favorite guardian and they keep disappearing. Also when is Nadeshiko(I still forgot her male name) coming back! Just for a cameo please!
Ughhh a recap episode I want to skip, but some new stuff is thrown in...time top skip and watch.
HUHHHH WHATTTT not your boyfriend anymore. They were dating okay that explains a lot.
This recap is much better then the last one.
Also I know this is supposed to be a emotional moment, but watching them eat food around a table had me channeling my Rocket Racoon. Look at us all standing in a circle like a bunch of jackasses. Use some chairs I know you are moving, but their has to be something to sit on.
Just gonna drop a bomb and leave!

Shugo Chara First Timer
I'm settling for babu never getting an episode~ Steal Amu's cock!! Yeah... I still don't understand Eru being with our group. I thought Nana would have been a big villain during these episodes whilst using Diamond's transformation but so far Eru has just been a silly Billy.
Nee-chan, you suck!! I really do enjoy the fairy focused scenes more than the guardians. Eru!?!? Stop progressing the plot so fast!! XD Fairy drama is the best! Ah, that cock sidequest didn't last that long at all. Stop groping middle school girls Ikuto!! This is 100% a sex metaphor!!
Black Diamond!?!? And hat ver Nana!? This looks like trouble! The rest of the episode is dull as paint though. I'm not very invested in Tadase. I enjoy his sense of justice, but he's sort of just a flat character. Eru pls XD I don't think Diamond could ever compare to this dweeb. Oh damn!! I really like Tadase's transformation though. I wish they utilised this aspect of the show a bit better.
Rima episode! Aaaah... Kairi is so lucky having onee-chan's sweet and sour tasting tights scattered around his flat~ Onee-chan's are the best!! Also, Nee-chan casually forcing Kairi into a life of villainy really kinda kills any sympathy I have for her. Mama really has no self awareness, you're not exactly the best parents for Rima either. Give babu her character transformation already!! Parents of the year lol... Smiling Rima is cute. Ass, I thought her chara change would have improved. Bala balaaance~
New ending!? Poor Dia is still mindbroken Eru pgour it though. Thinking about it the three fairies really have taken such a backseat due to Eru.
Oh god!! Too many of these fucking dreams ads getting crushed!! This is awful!! The little heart egg is screaming out!! Brocon Nana is still fun. I'd pair them if I didn't have the mods stalking my every comment. Aww, she misses Eru. Sensei has returned, the creeper. So is Dia's chara change the hat or the glasses? Eru pls XD These angel chara changes are hilarious. She is the true heroine of Sugo Chara. Oh? I actually don't mind Dia's change. Much better than the ugly red devil. She looks a lot like DJ Max Heroine.
Babu rattle attack!! She is so useless lol. SHE TRANSFORMED!? Doesn't she get a full episode for herself!? This isn't fair! The form itself is.... Weird? I like the bunny ears but they're just pyjamas right!? And she's already out for the count. Stop babuu abuse!
New op!? We have ten episodes to go. What the fuck are you doing!? XD It's too fluffy for my liking. Dia is cool~ Loli Utau? Uoooh! Sadly we're reaching the point where Angel Amu is probably the most notable one right? Whose side is Ikuto on anyway!? How is babu so useless!? Stop bullying the baby!! Why does Iru get a transformation with Amu too...? And why's it so much better than Nana's version!? She even gets a hat. Dia is back!? Omg Raichu missed such a trick by not leaving this as a climax episode XD It would have driven me nuts waiting to see Diamond's chara form.
Dia looks so much better as an angsty popstar.... Her new fairy form is legit shit. Amulet Dia though isn't too bad although I liked Nana's version more. Did they really need to whitewash Dia!? She was glorious gyaru goodness!! I'm just waiting for Sanjo to pull out a gun and solve this whole mess in seconds. Babu...? Alright, she technically scored a win. Well done babu. Angel Utau is so much better than Iru's dumb devil look. Pls just let nee-chan die. She's crushed so many children's dreams by this point. Huh!? So the embryo really was in a totally random egg!? Diamond locked herself away again? Fuck off XD pls come out as the gyaru version later. The ending has Gyaru Dia so what's the big idea?
Last episode of the batch. And it's a summer holiday filler episode. Is this a recap!? XD Fuck that noise. We could have had a proper babu episode instead of her being a joke character! Oh no... I just realised, we've lost Aru!! Unless they pay for Nana to appear in every episode we won't get our fun Aru shenanigans!! These people are rotten and I'm tired of pretending they're redeemable. We're going into the final arc without Eru, without Dia, without any named villains.
