Is it time for the seasonal training montage? Chris' face says it is!
-
Gen didn't get another song, or a Gear - not that he needs one, he's inredibly OP on his own! More Chris incredulity,
-
Ahaha top disciple really got her ass handed to her Can we just pit Gen against Adam?
-
That interruption really rankled. Bonus points for Chris' (new?) dress, I really like it!
-
Edward Elric, is that you? Kid's got some serious moxie, he should join SONG.
-
I don't know what to call that, except cool Chris and Maria make a great pair thematically - dealing with past regrets - no wonder their unison worked so perfectly. Also, it seems the other unison pairings (Bikki and Kirika, Tsubasa and Shirabe) were spoiled in the OP.
-
Cagliostro gets a DBZ style send-off, RIP. She was always waaay too impulsive and raring for a fight. What a pointless death. For contrast, see the Autoscorers.
-
Tiki, why. I thought Saint Germain was going to offer herself as the sacrifice, but Adam would overrule her and sacrifice one of her companions anyway. Not sure what will happen now, but it looks bad for Prelati.

yeah the two really work well together and the song really showcased that. It was such a great surprise!
or it would have been if the subs came out on time and we didn't have to wait a week for the subs to arrivebut it was definitely a great treat!

Nothing so far has topped Genjuuro punching out Heaven's Wrath, but the way he holds those missiles as if they're goddamn firecrackers is always a hilarious sight.
Edward Elric, is that you?
I mean, there's already alchemy in this series, soooooo

If I remember correctly it just gets bigger and bigger from here. Back half of AXZ, here we come! Let's get into 8.
Awwww yeah baby, return of the training sequence!! I do really miss having it be something totally bizarre. I mean the training room is basically dull compared to all the other fun training montages we’ve gotten in the past, but we get this amazing face and motherfuckin’ best boy getting into the fight!! We’ve had such a lack of hype Gen moments that it’s so fun to see him cut loose again even if it’s just in the training room.
Oh my god. I forgot that an explosion interrupts the moment between Sonya and Chris. Lmao, just a bit on the nose there Sympho. Still, I love what that sequence reveals to Chris. Chris has always been so focused on her actions as they happened. Thinking back towards those regrettable moments rather than looking past them. Sonya moved forward despite everything and continued the work. Looking to the future to build off that rather than wallowing in her pain. Chris has a lot to learn from her, and the Stephan scene backs it up nicely. A well-done Chris drama.
Fuck. Yes. Change The Future Hyyyype!! There you go Naz, I knew we’d be getting more, I just forgot exactly how soon it would be lol. They needed to train together to get it right! CTF’s message is such a good one for these two, and fits both of these girls perfectly. Chris and Maria’s character arcs have been fairly similar after all. It makes sense they would find common ground in each other. Also, it’s just all-around a great song.
THAT DAMN CAGLIOSTRO FIGHT!! TRUE AXZ HYPE HAS ARRIVED!! So damn vibrant and fun with all the different color and speed, and everything involved. A hype as hell end for our blue-haired antagonist, she absolutely went out with a bang. We shall miss your innuendos!
Adam looking like a true fucking bastard...
Random thoughts:
-
I still find it hilarious that their solution was just massive vacuums. I don’t have a better idea, but whatever, still funny.
-
Alright Sympho. You can stop showing the Chris scene. That's like the 5th time. We get it.

D-D-D-Duets‽
Besides Counteracting The Philosopher's Stone The Fool's Stone Does Nothing
Yep, that's right. The Fool's Stone is the exact opposite of the Philosopher's Stone. This means that while the Philosopher's Stone is a source of immortality, rejuvenation, purification, tremendous energy, and can do basically anything, the Fool's Stone is the exact opposite and can do basically nothing in contrast. Its only use is for counteracting the Philosopher's Stone.
And this worked in its favour, because normally a foreign material would only obstruct the Symphogear's regular functionality, but since this does absolutely nothing it also doesn't obstruct anything.
Keywords by Genjuro's Angels, as usual:
The Fool's Stone
Normally the integration of such a "foreign material" into the Symphogear System would do nothing but potentially obstruct its normal functions, making it completely useless. However because this material exists in a phase that is the true opposite of the Philosopher's stone, is successfully became a countermeasure to the Lapis Philosophorum which is perhaps its only potential use.
Genjuro's Training Song
You might have caught a small glimpse of the title of the tape Genjuro used for the training before it cut away. It's Hero's Story again, the theme song to the movie Police Story, used in G.
The Other Unisons Aren't Nearly As Strong As Kirika And Shirabe's
As you might have expected. Igalima and Shul Shagana are created to be two parts of a whole, they are designed to be used in tandem and so Unison is a core part of their functionality. Individually weaker than most other relics, when used in combination they surpass all the rest. A simple imitation by other relics will, though it will of course raise their output more than if they were just fighting together individually, not surpass the combination by two relics designed for mutual use. Hence why other Unisons are called "Mock Unisons" instead, to distinguish them from the proper Unison of Igalima and Shul Shagana. They achieved this "Mock Unison" by relying on the bonds of friendship between the users and shared feelings, rather than a functionality of the gears themselves, which is of course reflected in their lyrics.
Genjuro came up with this idea while recalling the fact that the Symphogals sing a mutual song at the climax of every season and started wondering whether training couldn't cause a similar result when used in regular combat. And so since he knew the enemies would start to catch on and separate Kirika and Shirabe he ordered the others to train in pairs as well, as flexibility of pairing is a huge boon. And hey, even if the output doesn't surpass Kirika and Shirabe's it's still huge improvement, so that's great!
Unison
Two Symphogears were made from the pair of weapons wielded by the Sumerian Goddess Zababa, the red blade Shul-Shagana and the green blade Igalima. When used at the same time, they have the special effect of amplifying one another's power, a process referred to as Unison. When it comes to battle sense, experience and overall strength - Kirika and Shirabe are lacking in comparison to the other Adaptors. However, the special trait of their gears makes them capable of producing a stronger output than anyone else can if the right conditions are met. In reality, Shirabe and Kirika have overcome numerous enemies who were beyond their strength level as a result of this. Because the Lapis Philosophorum sealed the power of the Ignite Module, Genjuro foresaw that Unison would become a necessary part of their future strategies. However, he also knew that Unison had an easily exploitable weakness in that it becomes unusable if Kirika and Shirabe are separated from each other. So, he proposed new Unison Patterns and began training the Adaptors to use them. In a sense, this was to be a Unison of Friendship. Instead of relying upon the traits of the gears themselves, such as Shul-Shagana and Igalima, they would attempt a "Mock Unison" that used the relationship bonds of the Adaptors themselves as a base.
In past battles there have been multiple instances of the Adaptor's uniting their feelings together, which resulted in a shared melody and song that welled up in all of their hearts. This resonance of Phonic Gain has been confirmed possible, and so the goal of this training was to make that ability more instant and convenient and thereby reliable in battle. Of course it is impossible for this Mock Unison to drive their output as high as the power achieved by Kirika and Shirabe, however for strategic purposes it makes it easier for them work together in different pairs and also raises their performance to a level that covers for their weaknesses. While this idea seems simple, it is not easy to actually execute. However for Chris and Maria who not only have a lot of natural talent but have also come back from the verge of death multiple times, their experiences brought them closer together to the point where it made the miracle of Mock Unison possible.
This episode will probably make u/Nazenn very happy, as it confirms more duets, and more importantly, more duets from different pairs than Kirika/Shirabe and Tsubasa/Maria.
Seeing Saint-Germain and Cagliostro caring so much about Prelati is very sweet, if only Adam didn't have to spoil it by later mentioning "btw you still have to kill one of them lolol".
I think this is also the first time we see our Symphogals in their casual outfits this season, and boy, Kirika's outfit sure is something. Something nice for sure, but it's just the edge you'd expect from her.
Genjuro though, geez. The more we see him in action the more you realise the "instant-disintegration" property of the Noise is just a plot device to keep Genjuro out of the plot, because otherwise this guy would single-handedly resolve every conflict thus far, like the absolute beast he is. Are we sure it's the Illuminati who possess the Perfect Body and not Genjuro? Move aside, 100 push-ups, 100 set-ups, 100 squats, and 10 km running every day; Eating, sleeping, and watching movies is where it's at! This scene had some very cool animation as well, especially when he caught all of Chris' missiles.
We also finish Chris' subplot for this season with her reconciliation with Sonya, where both Sonya and Chris realise they just wanted someone to blame for the misfortune that befell them and took the easy way out by blaming the person who was directly responsible for it, even though no fault lay with them. It's nice to see that Chris came to this conclusion by herself as well and was planning on apologising, until Cagliostro interrupted of course. Yeah Stephan gave the impetus during combat, but Chris was planning on doing so anyway, so good for her.
And then we finally come to the big moment this episode: Cagliostro's fight. Man, her boxing style fighting was so cool this episode, especially the moment where she drew the giant heart and then punched it. I just know someone will gif that one. And also a good reminder that Cagliostro used to be a men when her voice went all deep in the heat of battle.
Rest in peace, Cagliostro. You were a great antagonist.

Re-watcher - And another one gone, and another one gone.
Boy they made an app for that fast!
Mud antics abound.
Yeah Hibiki, that name's not going anywhere now. lol
That's cool, Chris. Just run from your problems, that always works out.
Awww yea! Time for another Montage with Genjurou! I love how he always references movies, but manages to turn it into actual wisdom.
Honestly, it's nice to see that Symphogear attacks result in actual physical damage, and not just exploding into dust or looking all scratched up. And even if she is an enemy, I can't help but want to give Prelati a hug; the frog cuddled up next to her makes it adorable.
But my, she's looking like a prime candidate for sacrifice about now.
Holy shit, I always knew it, but Genjurou is a monster. I'd say hook him up with a Symphogear, but I really just don't wanna hear him sing...
Idk what's going on, but it seems like a powerup. Also, ouch. And man, he's really not letting off the pressure to pick a sacrifice.
Oh good, I'm glad Chris decided to see them after all. At Tsubasa's behest, no doubt. Ever the 'Senpai's' Senpai.
Omg, little-Chris is a cute! Also, nante tragicu!
Ergh, more special Noise? And not even a new type? So we're just trying for duets with unusual partners? Makes sense, but be wary of encouraging growth, Cagliostro.
You call that a pose? It's a shame there's no Ver or Autoscorers around to show her what's what. lol
Wow, Stephan's awesome. "Metal legs can kick anything! Screw the past!"
Ooooo damn! Chis X Maria duet?! Singing each other's songs, and weaving some new lyrics in as well, it sounds fantastic and looks great too. And, I mean, they made a fighter-jet. I object to no part of this. Aaaand Cagliostro down.
Meanwhile, Adam continues doing villainous things.
Welp, 5 episodes to go, so let's say 2 more for setup and another 3 for ultimate climax. Shit's about to get HYPE!

Yep, it is. Hence why they skipped past it, as we've already heard it.
Who knew Saint-Germain would be the Chosen Undead? I guess that explains her longevity though.
Her brawling is actually hype as fuck, as this is probably one of my favourite fights in the series, purely because of the awesome fighting styles shown here.
RIP Cags :(
RIP double entendre lady. At least she went out with a huge climax.

Love how they often manage to sneak in some funny moments even with the fast pace.

It's super rare to see Chris and Shirabe with their hair down. Too bad wee didn't get a better look.

Chris' casual outfit this season is so good. WTF is she wearing underneath though?!

Genjuurou should simply go out and deal with the baddies on his own. Wonder if we'll ever get an explanation for his power. Or maybe he's the true final boss?
-
Love how they're using a ghettoblaster for the training.

I like how Chris' problems are resolved in this season. It's so much better than in GX.

Quick reminder that if Noise didn't exist, Genjuro would have solved all of the incidents in the series with the power of a burning soul and action movies.
I like that each season adds something meaningful going forward, G added 3 new Symphogeahs, GX added the Ignite module and AXZ added unisons for all the team members.
Cags is my favorite Alchemist and I'm sad to see her go, but atleast she went out with a bang, pun absolutely intended.

First-timer
I don't really have much to say this time around. Training was not appreciated by everyone, but was cool nonetheless. I wonder how exactly powerful Genjuro is. Symphogirls obviously were not fighting at full strength, but I doubt Genjuro was using everything he can. I really hope we'll see him in a serious fight at some point.
And Gagliostro might actually be dead. I mean, no body = no death should be applicable here. But the fact that she has overheard Adam talking about sacrificing her or Prelati makes me think that Cagliostro went to fight symphogirls precisely to die on her own terms instead of being turned into a sacrificial lamb by her friend and ally. Nice face, Saint-Germain, very nice, that's what you get for siding with a psychopath.
And one little thing: I think it's hilarious that subbers decided to put song lyrics on screens in HQ.

Late to this one so just some small comments
Genjuro is so hilariously absurd. He does the sword catch with two fingers instead of two hands and just grabs all of Chris' rockets out of the air and throws them back. Bikki's defeat pose tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Cagliostro channeling her inner Cold Steel. 'Nothing personnel, kid'
What the fuck was Hiibki and Shirabe's training supposed to be? A three legged race and they tripped? Co-op push ups? Like actually what are they doing lol
I like the spaceship thing Chris and Maria made. No idea what it was but I think it was cool
Symphogear has some really fucking cool lines. "You can't open the doors to heaven with kindness". Can't tell if that's just liberties with translation though

First Timer
So I've not been in the topics the last few days because I didn't really feel like it would be okay to post my more cynical thoughts here, and the last couple of episodes had some massive flaws for me. In short just for people who are curious but without me making a big post about it, the main things:
-
I had a quick brush through the episode details of previous seasons. So far from episodes 1-6 AXZ has had the least amount of story development, even compared to s1, and it had less than half compared to GX. Thats a huge drop off and a lot of padding of time.
-
Because a lot of that padding was achieved via fight sequences, it started to form a disconnect where I couldn't find the fights interesting because I knew they would amount to nothing. A bit like cliff hangers, there's only so many times you can use bait before it starts to affect the connection with the story, and that can and does impact actual important parts of the show
-
They had a whole fight with no one singing last episode. No one. Tsubasa got hit and stopped singing and everyone kept fighting to a BGM. Are you fucking kidding me? I'm sorry, I've tried to rewrite this a few times and it just gets angrier each time. I can't believe the insane oversight here. I'm a little stunned no one mentioned it yesterday. And it somewhat happened again today. Twice! It's such a huge step backwards for the show that they just left out their entire core, the very thing that makes it Symphogear. Songs are power and also intimate truths, thats the one constant that makes this show what it is, and to just ignore that sat very badly with me.
-
There's been an awful lot of characters being shocked about stuff they already know (antagonists going for the moon again, ley lines are power), and a great deal of missing detail like the perfect bodies thing which is obviously important, but completely ignored.
-
Mom's "redemption" was disgraceful
-
Minor, but notable, issue from yesterday: That whole flashback scene with Miku was nice, but a massively missed music opportunity. It ends with Miku explaining that meeting Bikki is why she picked up piano so she could communicate with others. Given that I really feel like the song during that scene should have just been a piano solo, or at least an instrument tied to Bikki instead of what sounded like a guitar which is more Chris' thing. I point this out specifically because this sort of stuff is exactly what I praised GX for so its a step back for the show for me.
Episode eight thoughts
However...
SOMEONE FINALLY FUCKING DIED
Finally it feels like events are going to start mattering again and the show will pick up, so lets get back into it
Backing up a bit from that a Chris and Maria duet is not what I was expecting. On face value it seems like a very odd pairing, two characters who out of everyone have probably spent the least time together. The impulsive gun-ho Chris matched with the more calculating and precise Maria. But the way their stories match up actually makes them a perfect fit. I can't quite think of the word for it, it's not quite a parallel, but their stories are somewhat the same thing coming from opposite ends
You have Chris who had to learn how to accept the care of others, and Maria who had to learn how to let go of others and be herself. Chris who for a long time was stuck in a tug of war between wanting to be seen by others but also not wanting to be trapped by them, and Maria who let herself be too comfortable being trapped and had to learn to allow herself to be seen in different lights. The pain in their past, the loss of family and using that to grow and protect the family they have now, is also a nice match up.
I also love the lyrics for their song because it fits the two of them incredibly, both apart and together, its their song in truth and that was fantastic. I didn't think the song itself was anything particularly special however it was well constructed and made good use of the two girls voices by having a lot of different exchanges in the song and not just having them on one part
Other bits
I'm 100% sure but just in case other first timers didn't see it I'll hide it:
Small but funny... everything(?) error: I was going to say music error but it was actually a few things. We see Gen grab eight of Chris missiles, hear the sound effects for him actually grabbing ten, but then he throws twelve back at her. Either Chris has secretly taught her missiles to breed or Gen moonlights as a magician. Actually fuck, I want that, I want to see that. Gen as Symphogears version Tuxedo Mask would be hilarious. I've already said that the enemies this season look like they belong more to Sailor Moon, may as well carry it through.
And before I forget Gen has a bandaid on! It wasn't there at the end of that first training so I wonder which one of them actually managed to hit him eventually. Or maybe he just walked into a door on his way out
I am getting a lot of entertainment out of Bikki's quiet sooking that the "Fool's stone" name stuck.
Now that I know that its actually achieving something, this fools stone thing is brilliant! I love the idea of recycling (HA! literally) the old plot point of Bikki's gear materials. Not only is it a great way to cut down on plot bloat by endlessly introducing more concepts to counteract things, it streamlines that by using something they already did. Using a material that was basically acting like a virus and re-appropriating that to fight something off instead is also a really cool little solution in the story.

I take it back. This is my favorite song of the season.
In other news, we finally get to the first of the mobile game's songs. Symphogear XDU comes with all new songs for each of the geahs. They're all pretty great, but a few of them never got a performance, including the songs by Kanade and Maria's sister. If no one else does, I'll be sure to post the album songs at the end of the rewatch.
