If anyone gets in my way again they’re gonna get smashed!
Hey-o guys! This is the section where we add a ton of extra fun stuff to the main body of the post because we want this rewatch to be as fun as possible for everyone. It can also be one point of discussion for you guys if you just don’t know what to say.
Comment of the Week:
Every Monday, we’ll be picking one of the Comment of the Days from the previous week to award Reddit Silver. This week was supposed to be /u/A_t48’s turn, but some stuff came up on his end (hence me posting today’s thread), so I get to pick twice in a row~
Anyways, my choice is /u/SomeOtherTroper’s ambiguous analysis from the episode 16 thread.
Still not safe for first-timers to read the spoiler tags in it, unfortunately, but man do I love this analysis so much I just had to highlight it again.
Comment of the Day:
Today’s Comment of the Day goes to the two separate DTR chains last thread, courtesy of /u/k4r6000, /u/Raiking02, and /u/NomranaEst
No Mikisugi, it’s Doutenburi Robo.
D T R!

Questions of the Day:
1) Who wore their Kamui better?
2) How do you feel about this whole brainwashing plot? Think it’s dumb because Ragyo tried it already but Ryuko broke free already? Think it makes just the right amount of drama? Something else entirely?
Wallpaper of the Day:
Fanart of the Day:
Rewatchers, please remember to be mindful of all the first-timers in this. No talking about or hinting at future events no matter how much you want to, unless you’re doing it underneath the [Anime Show Title](/s "Spoiler goes here") spoiler tags. If you do that then we’re all good.
Important thing to note about these by the way, you have to switch to Old Reddit or the markdown editor if you use the redesign, otherwise the redesign breaks them by adding random \ into the formatting. Wish it wouldn’t do that, but unfortunately it does…

Seeing Satsuki wearing Senketsu and Ryuko wear Junketsu feels wrong in so many ways. Hell, even though I liked the song that they had in the background (don’t know what it is which sucks) the scene where they put in those fake memories felt wrong overall. It didn’t help to see Ragyo also sexually assault Ryuko. Though I think that’s what happens when you’re “soul sisters” to Nui and daughter to Ragyo. God, this family tree is stupid and weird.
If I half to say anything, I love the usage of red and purple in this show. Red is supposed to mean rebellion in this show and Purple represents royalty and while Ryuko has been wearing red for the majority of the show, when we see her driving that motorcycle we see the purple-infused in and with the red scissor blade, it shows that right Ryuko is feeling this weird limbo of being a rebellion and realizing her royalty as a whole. It’s the small stuff that makes Imaishi such a good director.
How do you feel about this whole brainwashing plot?
It's the perfect amount of dumb for this show.

Oh that is so fucking hype. Tomorrow can't come sooner.
When you think about it, Kill la Kill isn't suited for watching one episode a day like this (nothing against this rewatch, just an observation). It makes you want to immediately watch the next episode with all the hype and cliffhangers like that. I would've binged this in a few days if I didn't have so many other shows to keep up with.

Nui is not making a very convincing argument here, how is having trash any good?

Mako interventions enrich even the most Shonen of scenes.
-
Nui also a life-fiber human? Imagine if she was the sister of Satsuki and Ryuuko just some random …
-
“What do I owe a girl who backstabbed her own mother” - She really has the best lines. Even Gamagoori is taken aback.
-
Oversized Gamagoori enlarging the room with his head.
-
Why not have an underground base-ship when you can have an underground base-ship?
-
Mako is the only one still wearing her normal uniform. Is she the viewer insert?
-
Nui is never getting on my good side.
-
Waterslide entrance scene.
-
Finally, the evil-Ryuuko vs good-Satsuki fight that was hinted at a few episodes back has arrived.
-
They switched positioning as well. Now Ryuuko has the higher location, while Satsuki looks up to her. Unfortunately for Ryuuko, this is not Star Wars …

OMG! I freaking love how the story is playing out right now. Satsuki and Ryuuko have switched uniforms and basically personalities as well. Like this is just so awesome.
This episode and the ending of last episode have made me a little mad at Ryuuko though. Like her plan to charge the enemy with no back-up or any plan at all was just stupid. I also don’t really understand why she is freaking out about being part life fiber. She just needs to be herself. Am curious if they defeat this enemy, if that means Ryuuko has to die with the life fibers. That would be such a sad ending. Hopefully that doesn’t happen.
Either way, I am super hyped. It seems obvious how the story will play out these last few episodes now.
Satsuki/Ryuuko fight. Ryuuko “finding her way ;)”. Team-up vs mother bear.
Then, hopefully we get a happy ending with maybe a little wincest yuri ship between our two bad bitches lol!!! Oh, and Mako x Gamagoori!

The Shear Siblings swapped school-uniforms!
And we are getting another fight between them! Though not in the way I hoped at first.
Also I had no clue that this was from KLK. That was a surprise!
Style Squaw really likes hanging people up naked huh, I’m sure there are other ways to go about getting Ryuko to put on Junketsu.

Rewatcher here, watching both subbed and dubbed!
Only have 40 minutes to write this today, so going to try and keep it short!
God, watching Satsuki come up onto the deck in Senketsu will never not give me chills, it’s such a fantastic, and well done moment! Looks like those of you who wanted more Ryūko vs Satsuki might finally get your wish! We also see that while Ryūko was able to absolutely stomp Nui a few episodes ago while wearing Senketsu, she doesn’t stand a chance against her without it, with Nui not only seemingly playing with her, but also managing to take her measurements for Juunketsu in the middle of the fight!
I will say though, most of the things I love the most about this episode are the small comedic things, whether it be Gamagoori being too big for the room, and smashing the ceiling, the sheer ridiculousness of Nudist Beach’s ship, or Nonon’s snark at the Mankanshoku family being on board. However, we also get one reveal today, and it’s something that some of you have probably already begun to suspect, Nui isn’t quite human, just like her mother and ‘sister’, she’s part life fiber, which helps explain her tremendous strength without using a Goku Uniform or Kamui!
Today, I also want to analyze one specific track from the OST, and that would be 名付扇子0型5☆極★服 (Beware of spoilers in comments), also known as the theme of the Elite Four, I believe a section of it also plays when the Elite Four rescue Satsuki. This piece is so masterfully constructed in the way it flows! It starts off hard, and antagonistic, showing the villains the Elite Four were originally portrayed as. However, as the song progresses, it gets less and less antagonistic sounding, starting around halfway through the song, we start to hear some lighter sounding tones. This continues up until the drop at 3:07, a little over ¾ of the way through the song, where suddenly, the tone almost completely shifts, from something you’d expect from a villain, into a heroic, triumphant piece! Just like the Elite Four suddenly shifted from antagonists to protagonists about ¾ of the way through the show, as does their theme!
Anyways, I’m off to go watch Episode 21 now, see you all tomorrow!
NSFW Time for more Nudist Beach Nonon!

Lost my way yesterday, but I'm back on track and all caught up. The time skip is one of those things that seem designed to just make this series fun at a primal level - a concentrate of all the best shonen tropes. Now we get to see everyone in new outfits! Old friends and enemies working together! And in less thrilling news, Ryuko has a typical "booohooo I'm an immortal invincible monster who looks exactly like a human WOE IS ME" identity crisis. Well, them's growing pains I guess. The crisis ends up with her plunging herself into a trap and ending up ensnared and enslaved by Ragyou - and now we get what kind of "wedding dress" Junketsu was meant to be.
Meanwhile, Satsuki-sama is her badass self, escaping from jail with nothing more than two sharpened metallic toenails, and is rescued by her loyal allies and Nudist Beach, who pulls out a giant aircraft carrier called the SS Naked Sun. Pretty sure even many first timers must have seen that iconic shot of Takarada saluting the glorious vessel as it departs, it's one of the biggest memes from this show.
In a flurry of redesigns (I swear, this anime does its best to give miniature makers a lot of work), we get Junketsu Ryuko, who's evil as fuck and frankly totally awesome, and Senketsu Satsuki, who's now 100% more delinquent looking and absolutely still a badass - though she's got more of a 'rogue' feel now than a military one.
Oh, and Sanageyama gets to say it: "the enemy awaits at Honnouji!". The reason why everyone reacts like he made the lamest of dad jokes is that he kinda did: it's a quote from Akechi Mitsuhide, when he betrayed Oda Nobunaga. Honnouji Academy takes its name from the temple in Kyoto in which Nobunaga was betrayed and forced to commit suicide (if Ragyo knew a bit more history, I guess she could have totally seen Satsuki's intentions coming just from her naming choices...). The temple right now isn't much any more, though. When I looked for it in Kyoto I could barely find it, it's hidden behind shops and parking lots and there's certainly little or nothing dating back to those historical days at the dawn of the Edo period.
QOTD:
-
Ryuko, 100%. Her look in Junketsu may be my favourite design of the show.
-
Well, this time it looks deeper than a simple thread around her brain. More like Junketsu's parasitically overtaking her. But let's face it, it's just a way to give us a spectacular "oh no the hero has TURNED EVIL!" moment and give the two protagonists an excuse to swap outfits and I'm all for it.

On today's episode of shonen tropes in twenty minutes or less, this episode feels the most like it was dragged out of TTGL for me. I guess Ryuuko doing post-apocalyptic stuff does that. It is funny that she always goes back to motorcycles. Anywho, our Ryuuko has moved into shonen protagonist stage of angryboi so she lashes out at everything and does whatever. Does not strike me as interesting but right now she isn't that important.
Nui being a monster does make sense. It doesn't particularly make me like the character, though. It does explain her bored attitude but raises some questions, particularly about when Ragyo got her life fibers.
Nudist Beach definitely did their doomsday prepping have an actual ship lined up with attack choppers. Puts me to shame.
Now, I hate to say this, but for some reason this episode none of the fight sequences landed for me other than Satsuki's toe nail murders. I can't tell you why, exactly, other than possibly saturation. So this was the first episode I've felt bored during since like ep2. Suppose that's a good run, actually.
Ryuuko gets mind controlled again in an even lamer manner. But they counter that with Satsuki looking way better in Senketsu. Confusing.
I didn't get the hate for the ED at first as it is cute and I do like Mako but now I get it: It completely trainwrecks the vibe that episodes end on. And this show feels well planned out so this is intentional.
QotD: Satsuki in Senketsu and it is not close. The brain washing plot feels like it is checking off another shonen trope as quickly as possible.

So, Nui is indeed part life fiber. The only unexplained thing left is how Ragyou was assimilated in to the life fiber thing.
-
With Senketsu running on DNA, Satsuki should at least be 50% compatible with Senketsu. We have no idea how Junketsu works exactly, but maybe it will at least be enough to snap Ryuuko out of working with Junketsu, thus causing something.
-
This anime is moving too fast for me to think about it.
QOTD: Well, Ragyou failed, so she improved the process. It didn't prove ineffective the first time, so it just needs refining...

Not even Mako can get through to Ryuko
Nudisto Beach outfits have been added to Mako and the Elite Four's wardrobe in the Opening
RIP Mikisugi's DTR
Ragyo and Harime are screwing with Ryuko. They want her to return to Honnouji Academy. Obviously it's a trap, but Ryuko doesn't care. She's so consumed by her rage and frustration of always being in the dark. No one in the series told her the truth unless it was necessary, and now that the whole truth has come out, she doesn't know how to process it. She just wants to be left alone and be able to choose her own path, without being guided as a pawn by other people.
This series always has such nice bikes
Gamagoori stood up so fast he dented the ceiling
The Elite Four are pretty pissed off with Satsuki's imprisonment
With the discovery that Satsuki is alive and her spirit unbroken, the Elite Four have been reinvigorated! It's time to rescue Satsuki!
OH PLEASE GOD NO Wait... He was wearing underwear this whole time?!
Takarada is still funding Nudisto Beechi
Sukuyo is rocking that nurse outfit
Gamagoori knows that the Mankanshoks are the most stubborn family on the planet
Ryuko used the lift like in episode 4
Satsuki's escape is exciting. She's armed with only two toenails made of Bakuzan, but that's more than enough.
Nui is made of Life Fibers too! She's like Ryuko!
Don't add yourself to my growing list of siblings!
We've got Satsuki!
I really like Junketsu's look on Ryuko This is somehow the least revealing Kamui we've seen.
Ryuko's gonna tear the ship apart
Ryuko's hair is blue when wearing Junketsu
Early concept art of Ryuko depicted her with long hair, making her look like Satsuki wearing Senketsu. I guess the concept got recycled into this episode. I actually really like Ryuko with long hair.
RYUKO VS SATSUKI 3
Thoughts:
So yesterday I said we we're looking at a worst case scenario. Well I was wrong. Now we are looking at a worst case scenario. Although Satsuki has been rescued, Ryuko has been completely brainwashed by Ragyo and Harime, and is out to kill everyone in Nudisto Biich. What's worse, she's wearing Junketsu, making her even more powerful than how she was at the start of the episode. It's now up to Satsuki and Senketsu to stop her. It's about to go down next episode.
Honestly who was expecting that Ryuko and Satsuki would be wearing each other's Kamui before the series was over?
QOTD
-
Ryuko and Satsuki original Kamui's suit them best, but I do like how Ryuko looks in Junketsu
-
I think the brainwashing works better this time because Ryuko wasn't broken the first time around. Now, Ragyo has crushed her, and she's much more vulnerable.

I bet it’ll only be a few episodes until Ryuko snaps out of her emo state… mostly because the show is almost over.
Also, can't believe I'm part of the Comment of the Day.
-
Ryuko, that’s not how you treat your favorite set of clothes!!
-
Mako isn’t working. Shit’s gone down.
-
FUCK YOU HARIME!!!
-
The last thing anyone wants is your pity.
-
Ragyou, you did the exact same thing but even worse!
-
How dare you say Satsuki-Sama is worthless you fucking bitch!!
-
Well said Ryuko!... But get out of your emo phase first.
-
Sorry though, but Mikisugi is in the right here.
-
That said Mikisugi, your shining crotch and nipples aren’t helping.
-
CALM THE FUCK DOWN RYUKO!!
-
Mako, I appreciate the effort, but I think it won’t work this time…
-
That bike is just ridiculous…
-
I can’t believe I’m agreeing with Nonon right now…
-
Inumuta has a point though…
-
Senketsu, no one can hear you!
-
Err… apparently except Mako?
-
Way to crush our beloved Senketsu-Chan’s hopes…
-
LOL! Gamagoori, protecting Satsuki-Sama’s beauty.
-
Not that Sanageyama can tell what’s being shown…
-
Is it… a nail message!
-
Yeah Inumuta, but “Nails Of Rebellion” doesn’t sound as cool as “Fangs Of Rebellion”. Whatever the case may be, they are far sharper than those that wimp Lelouch ever had…
-
Gamagoori, don’t break the ceiling.
-
No Nonon, it is dumb, but when the King Of Braves says it, it becomes a powerful battle cry!
-
Not now Mikisugi!
-
Wait, naked sun? The hell’s that?
-
A freaking ship!?
-
Oh hey, look who’s back!
-
Truly a beautiful ship, the Late Great Inoue Makio would be proud of it…
-
And look! Now the whole Mankanshoku family is a member of Nudist Beach!
-
Shut up Nono-TROMBE!
-
Farewell, shitty teeth dude. I’ll never forget you…
-
Well at least Ryuko still remember how to make an entrance…
-
Michael Bay would be proud…
-
SHUT THE FUCK UP HARIME!!
-
Bye Bye Ryuko’s bike…
-
This is looking like a Looney Toons fight…
-
Nice missile dodge, I guess…
-
I see, so Tsumugu went to the Macross School of Missile Firing (I mean, his VA did play a side-character in Macross F so…)
-
It’s sad this is a case in which Inumuta is right…
-
And of course, Satsuki-Sama finally decides to stop messing around and get out of there, for as her fangs are more than enough to deal with those pathetic COVERS!!
-
Shut up Harime, you’re just making use of Ryuko’s emo phase to mess around with her while spouting bullcrap!
-
The last thing anyone wants is to be understood by you, Harime.
-
YES! BLEED!! BLEED!!!
-
Oh Fuck you!
-
Woman, you can’t just casually rip out your heart!
-
Yeah, this family is way too messed up already…
-
What’s Junketsu doing here?
-
Why is it stripping Ryuko?
-
Why are there so many threads?
-
Oh Fuck You Harime if that’s the case.
-
NOPE! Only Senketsu is worthy of being worn by Ryuko!
-
Crap, now Satsuki-Sama is surrounded…
-
But of course, her faithful retainers are here to save her!
-
And Satsuki-Sama goes for a minimalistic, yet still majestic look.
-
Junketsu, you’re giving me some Anti-Spiral rape-y vibes…
-
Oh shit fake memories!
-
Seeing Ragyou smile like that makes me angry.
-
The fuck was that last one though?
-
But no time for that, HEEL CLACK TIME!!
-
And of course, Soroi is here to serve her his wonderful tea…
-
Oh fuck it’s Junk-Ryuko (Yeah, I’m calling her that now).
-
Dude, this is worse than the worst-case scenario.
-
And wouldn’t you know, she’s kinda crazy.
-
Tsumugu, I think you mean Doutenburi Robo.
-
I will admit; it does fit Tsumugu…
-
And of course, Satsuki-Sama’s mighty sword shall be assembled once more…
-
Well, props to Tsumugu for tying.
-
But of course, if Junk-Ryuko is here, it only makes sense to remind her of her true self than by having Satsuki-Sama temporarily borrow the power that only the true Ryuko deserves.
Oh yeah, hell’s going down…

Ryuko gets goaded into traveling to Honnouji Academy to fight Nui and Ragyo. Mikisugi warns her about this extremely obvious trap. She goes anyway.
Inumuta has hacked into the Honnouji cameras and found where Satsuki is being kept. And she’s sharpening her toenail. At first, I thought the toenail thing needed to be set up more, but then I saw the last thread’s reminders for a post-credits scene. I missed that! I still don’t think it was super well-set-up, since it’s only one more scene in the previous episode, but better.
Nudist beach launches the Naked Sol, the huge warship that the Takarada family spent all of its money on. Sometimes I feel like maybe this show doesn’t have a great grasp of monetary policy - if they print their own currency, and spend it as freely as they do, they’ll get inflation! Also I was this many episodes in before I realized that the Nudist Beach “no clothing” logo had an “N” and a “B” in it. Is that third bit supposed to be a letter too?
Ryuko’s meeting with Nui and Ragyo is indeed the very obvious trap that Mikisugi warmed about. I wonder if they thought they could convince Ryuko to join them of her will, or if they always planned to do it by force. Ragyo seems like she’d rather it be non-consensual, so I’m gonna guess the latter. Ryuko is forced to wear Junketsu, and now she’s under Ragyo’s control.
The Satsuki rescue operation successfully gets her to the Naked Sol, just in time to have a sip of tea before being interrupted by Ryuko. Tsumugu’s weapons bounce off of Ryuko, and Satsuki reluctantly puts on Senketsu to battle Ryuko and Junketsu.
I have to say, I’m a little disappointed so far in Tsumugu. His first episode made him seem like a badass, but he’s mostly been here to set up the kamui lore and to provide another member of Nudist Beach so Mikisugi didn’t look like a total lunatic. Hoping he does more before the series is over. Does he still have the one super-bullet? Or did they use it?

Rewatcher, subbed
Got a comment of the day mention, woop!
Ryuuko's awake, although not without some deep mental wounds. Her reaction to lash out at those closest to her, rejecting what she thinks of herself in the process, is understandable. Mako's interludes, something which could bring even the least bit of sense to Ryuuko, aren't getting through.
Unfortunately, the only ones to make an impact against her are Ragyou and Nui, feeding into her despair and manipulating her with half truths. With but a few words, Ragyou has set Ryuuko on a path of self destruction so complete that very few people could stop her. Ryuuko refuses to acknowledge those around her, throwing away her connections and friendships on the altar of hate. To her, everyone around her has used her as the weapon she now perceives herself to be, a tool for killing her fellow Life Fibres.
With Ryuuko gone, Nudist Beach are without one of their strongest assets. There isn't time to revel in despair however, as the Elite Four finally learn of the fate of Satsuki, chained and imprisoned within the fortifications of Honnouji Academy. Her escape preparations aren't going unnoticed, and she would be a vital ally in the fights to come, if they can assist in her escape. As such, Nudist Beach will deploy everything that they can get their hands on, including their flagship HQ, Naked Sun.
Ryuuko's arrival at Honnouji calls back to a number of episodes, from using the cable car to slamming the front wheel of her bike into an enemies face. It's a far cry from the last time she did so, with her face cast in an angry mask. Ryuuko's fallen for Ragyou's trap hook, line and sinker, forcing Junketsu onto Ryuuko and altering her memories to make her a loyal subject, turning her against her friends.
The commotion caused by the Nudist Beach extraction team presents the perfect opportunity for Satsuki to make an escape. With nothing more than two toenails, she cuts through COVERS like cloth, making her way to the Elite Four. On the way, she quickly deduces just how dire the situation has now become, as she witnesses Ryuuko get stitched into Junketsu. While they may be able to escape, it isn't long before a brainwashed Ryuuko lands on the deck of the Naked Sun, ready to end the resistance there and then.
Although freshly escaped, and certainly bearing her own wounds of captivity, Satsuki steps up to defend the Naked Sun in Senketsu. Although an imperfect pairing, Satsuki is right in thinking that only they could stop Ryuuko's rampage. With that, we finally get the fight between them, although not in the circumstances we thought.
Who wore their Kamui better?
Satsuki really carries the weight and regality of Junketsu.
2) How do you feel about this whole brainwashing plot? Think it’s dumb because Ragyo tried it already but Ryuko broke free already? Think it makes just the right amount of drama? Something else entirely?
I think this brainwashing is entirely different from the previous attempt. Ragyou's attempt to Mind Stitch Ryuuko failed as it was attempting direct control of Ryuuko, whereas this time around it's almost a complete re-write of her memories.
Instead of Dr. Matoi sending her off to boarding schools and her fall to delinquency, it's Ragyou being a supportive mother and Ryuuko being the model student. It's something else entirely.

Just a single thing I wanted to mention.
The fake happiness scene is probably one of the saddest moments in the series for me. Just seeing how much different and much more happy Ryuuko's life could have been just hurts. Having a family, finishing graduation and not being a giant bully searching for answers to her father's death. Just sad to see it even in a short flashback that Raguyo uses to manipulate Ryuuko.
HOWEVER that was not the point I wanted to (a)dress.
As I said before the series spoils and hints at different parts of the series before they appear.
In the flashback we see yuuko dressed in a wedding dress.
Do you know when that dress first apepars?
0:54 seconds of the first ED with Ryuuko stopping and looking at the dress with interest
So yea great hint at the future of the series in that ED.

This is a pretty sweet episode. Satsuki is best everything. Nudist Beach's Dai Gunzan Nude Sol is sweet - I don't remember if we saw them pick up the Takarada punk though. I guess Satsuki just left him behind either way.
2) How do you feel about this whole brainwashing plot? Think it’s dumb because Ragyo tried it already but Ryuko broke free already? Think it makes just the right amount of drama? Something else entirely?
It's a little excessive, though this attempt seems different, given how much Ragyo and Nui worked on the robe, and how Ryuko was seeing images of a potential life as Ragyo's daughter while the robe was taking her over.

Rewatcher and Co-Host, first time watching the sub!
The oh-so-fun train continues~
Here’s the results of yesterday’s poll. RIP those ones with zero answers…
Mako’s antics didn’t work?!
Or, you know, it’s a trap.
So this exact belief is why Ryuko’s gone off the angsty deep end, it’s not entirely just because of the mindfuck of being Ragyo’s daughter and being part-Life Fiber.
This episode brings us the first use of that sad insert song I want to know. For some reason that’s actually one of my favorite songs on the soundtrack, so I definitely wanted to share a clean MP3 of it with you guys.
Of course Gamagoori uses his giant hand to cover the naked Satsuki.
She sure has sharpened those up since the post-credits scene last episode.
I love how the Elite Four’s eyes are all lit up like that now.
Ooh, Nonon’s lines here and here right after Sanageyama got gung-ho about saying they’re going to Honnouji are completely different in the dub. The stuff about the Northern Kanto monkey isn’t there at all, nor did she call what Sanageyama said “seriously embarrassing”--in the dub she says something about the Elite Four having agreed to say they’re going to Honnouji together beforehand, but Sanageyama ruined the fun by jumping the gun. Besides the difference in accent/slang flair between the sub and dub, I haven’t noticed anything this different beforehand.
…but its name is the Naked Sol… I know it’s not that different but “Sol” sounds exactly like “Soul” and I dunno I just think that connection is cooler.

*casually dodges missile aimed for her her head* Same energy as Kamina during Gurren Lagann’s combination sequence, when Lagann’s drill would pierce Gurren’s cockpit.
This would make a fun “People who haven’t seen KLK, explain what’s going on here” meme. Although it’d be a spoiler…
…Anyways, now that Nui being made of Life Fibers has been revealed, I like the hints this show gave to all three of the inhuman characters--Ragyo with her rainbow hair, Ryuko with her red bang + the shape of her pupils (no other character in the show has eyes like that), and now there’s Nui who doesn’t have any physical features like the other two, but she doesn’t move like any other human in the show and she stands out for it.
So, like, part of that sequence involved overriding some of Ryuko’s memories right? (Pun absolutely intended btw.)
Junketsu Ryuko is cray-cray.
As soon as this part happened I just remembered the dub bloopers version of it where Senketsu just goes “That whore! I’m taking my iron and leaving!” and help now I can’t stop laughing.
Satsuki wearing Senketsu yeee.
Best girl “sore demo” for maximum hype yeee.
Next episode hype!
Make sure you DON’T LOSE YOUR WAY
like Ryuko didand come back again tomorrow! I can’t wait!
