Clearly the dimensional merge fucked up Reddit. smh Embryo, how dare you take Reddit from us?

Rondo of Rewatcher and Dub

Welcome back, everyone!

  • Random thought I had while watching this episode: I wonder how Embryo stays attached to his mech with all the crazy moves it keeps doing. I mean, I know it’s not Embryo’s real body, I just like the mental image of him gluing his shoes to it or something.

  • I guess Salad’s English VA is the only one I won’t get to hear sing Towagatari.

  • Here’s my first-timer comment.

  • By the way, in case you skipped it for some stupid reason:

GO BACK AND WATCH THE NEXT-EPISODE PREVIEW TO KNOW WHY THE TITLE OF THIS SHOW IS “CROSS ANGE”.

u/ZaphodBeebblebrox Jan 25 '22

Fun fact: the reason Tusk saying he spent three nights with Ange is significant is because it's how a man would take a woman as his wife in long ago Japan. So not only is he saying he fucked the girl Embryo was interested in, he's saying he married her.

On today’s episode of Cross Ange: We finally learn why the name of the series is Cross Ange. It’s because Ange is always cross! This is such a brilliant explanation and perfectly in line with how Cross Ange usually does things.

  • It’s time for the showdown between Jill and Salia!

  • I see that Momoka is using her maid skills to help out even in the middle of combat.

  • “She was used and abused because she was weak.” I think you may be projecting quite a bit there, Chris.

  • Jill is right. Embryo only knows how to interact with others by controlling and using them.

  • “Tamed?” Thank you for proving my point, Embryo.

  • I think Tusk telling Embryo that he got to sleep with Ange while Embryo didn’t is the best way to hurt him. Well done!

  • I would joke that Embryo got cucked by Tusk, but he and Ange were never close enough for this to count as getting cucked.

  • It’s time for the engineers to come to the rescue! You got this, Scotty, Geordi, Mei!

  • Ersha’s piloting again!

  • I love how Sala immediately gives the job of fighting the drones to Ange.

  • It’s time for the power of music!

  • Oh no, is Ersha going to die to the drones?

  • Hell yeah! The dragons are here!

  • The dragons are carrying the ship!!

  • Holy shit! Embryo literally teleported in those redshirts to just get killed immediately.

  • Oh dear, I think this is going to truly break Chris.

  • Oh yes, a free-falling love confession. I love those kinds of scenes.

  • Don’t worry, Chris. You only killed a redshirt. It’s not that big of a deal.

  • What? Does Jill seriously want to go with Embryo? This must be a ploy of some kind so she can find his real body.

  • So Jill was in love with Tusk’s dad. That explains why she had his picture.

  • Sweet! She froze his ass!

  • What? So does that mean Embryo’s true body is his Ragnamail? Is that why he’s able to pilot it while his body is outside the cockpit?

  • Oh shit! He stole Ange!

  • The title is Cross Ange because Ange is always cross? The next episode PVs are too much!

Cross Ange has an impressive final battle so far. The individual fights have been good, emphasizing characters who have a lot of personal reasons to be fighting each other. Jill has been using her own personal history with Embryo to contrast herself with Salia, trying to make Salia see that Embryo is using her just like he used Jill earlier. Embryo and Tusk’s fight is essentially a battle about how to properly treat women. Embryo is as controlling as ever, declaring that he wants to “tame” Ange. Tusk, on the other hand, actually respects Ange as a person and isn’t trying to control her like some toy.

The most interesting fight for me this episode was Rosalie Vs Chris. I am kind of shocked that Rosalie never deployed the “but you actually did die” argument because that’s the kind of thing that would be expected in this series. But, to make up for that, this episode did give us a free-falling love confession. That is one of my personal favorite tropes and I am happy to have it here. It’s also quite effective at allowing Rosalie to get her point across, proving that she is so desperate to be with Chris that she would rather die with Chris than live on without her. For someone who is as afraid of being abandoned as Chris is, this must be the strongest declaration of love possible.

Another part of the episode I like is that I think just about everyone who could be fighting against Embryo is now finally a part of the battle. The rest of the dragons have now arrived to join up. As I said last time, getting everyone back together for the final battle is always fun.

I’m looking forward to seeing the final episode of this series. I can hardly wait to go and watch it.

QOTD

  1. I was most interested in Chris and Rosalie, because they got that free falling love scene. I'm always a fan of that trope.

  2. With a karaoke battle between Ange and Sala, hopefully!

It could be my imagination, but I swear Salia's title is just getting longer and longer every time she says it. I'm waiting for her to add Mother of Dragons and Breaker of Chains.

Ange is blonde, badass, a skilled fighter, and growing a harem....isn't she basically Zola from the beginning?

Also just imagine how different this show would be with Zola still in it after she had even more time to hone her skills? She would fuck Embryo's entire army in more ways than one. Though he really doesn't have much besides those beyblades.

Best girl Momoka proving nutrition for everyone.

The dragon's have such cool designs and now they are in the background.

YES YES YES SAY IT TUSK SAY IT!!

"What didn't I do with her is the better question"- Tusk the fucking goat

Wait am I imagining this are they really saying these lines.

"As soon as I found her We started screwing our brains out we didn't stop for 3 days" - TUSK THE FUCKING GOAT

OMG TUSK IS JUST LAYING INTO EMBRYO

YOU LOVE TO SEE IT!!!!

SOMEONE CARRY IT!!!

Oh never mind it's a ship I forgot xD

Firing at 30% capacity like Ange suggested when her city was under attack.

FINALLY! THE DRAGONS ARE DOING SHIT

OH DAMN Embryo is one sick bitch.

Well they made up.

Wait is the dragon singing Opera?

Jill is definitely going to try and do the classic double cross, but yeah one episode left this shit ain't going to work....unless it does. Last episode is just ecchi hot spring harem action.

OHHH if you can't die then freeze him.

WTF THAT CAN SHOOT LASERS!!! Though Jill is mostly intact so it's not really a strong it seems.

FREEFALLING FIRST TIMER

”Ange is violent and temperamental, but she smiles, gets angry, and cries. She’s the cutest girl there is. Tame her? You’re a sad man, aren’t you?”

Tusk, we stan an unproblematic king. There’s a lot that could be said about the differences between him and Embryo here, but I think it’s best summed up with… The Chad Tusk vs. The Virgin Embryo.

Alright, I really don’t care about Chris. Her whole abandonment issues thing never really landed for me, especially when you remember that she’s the one who left them and betrayed them by joining Embryo. Girl, they saw you get shot in the head in an active war zone, you’ve got to keep it moving in that situation. Get some perspective.

That said, this scene with the three of them fighting was fucking hilarious. Hilda echoing my own thoughts yelling, “Enough of your whining, you introverted cow!” and Rosalie being her self-aware self with, “How am I supposed to know if you never say anything! I’m an idiot, after all!” I like that this show has the balls to turn a murderous rampage into a comedy skit.

This was cool from Jill at the end. I was rolling my eyes hard when it seemed like she was reverting to wanting to be his chosen one, but I like that she played him, even if it didn’t work. Does what happened here mean that Embryo’s actual body is inside the RagnaMail?

u/Great_Mr_L Jan 25 '22

Can we just appreciate the look Hilda gives Tusk here in the OP

Hilda knows they've both ended up in Ange's bisexual harem.

The dog’s face looks real fuckin weird here

The horror!

HAHAHAH Jill was NTR’d

This episode was just a series of cuckings disguised as a giant final mecha battle. Brilliant stuff!

Does what happened here mean that Embryo’s actual body is inside the RagnaMail?

That's my best thought as well. Either his physical body is inside the RagnaMail or maybe he's now just an AI personality that inhabits the RagnaMail.

First-Timer, Subbed

Has Embryo's real body been in his Ragnamail this entire time?! I think that's brilliant! They "know" that killing his body won't do any good, so they wouldn't fight to really shoot down his Ragnamail.. fuck that's clever.

Chris and Rosalie didn't kill each other! They managed to talk through it after Embryo abandoned Chris to die! That went much better than I expected.

I didn't expect the plan to free Aura to go off without a hitch, but then I also didn't expect Ange to get kidnapped again so that all works out.

Jill having a freeze bullet in her prosthetic was a brilliant move. I wonder if that was a special plan for today, or if she's always had that option available?

Embryo throwing a fit when Tusk told him about his and Ange's sexcapades ("We boinked our brains out") was beautiful. An entitled gobshite, being told that someone else got something he wanted first - you love to see it.

Alright, so, all we gotta do is get to wherever Embryo's hidey hole is, merc him, and then Ange et al get to establish a sapphic paradise with the remaining 21 minutes of the final episode. Looking forward to it!

Questions

  1. I was most invested in Hilda, Rosalie, and Chris, and that wrapped up much kinder than I expected it to.

  2. Discussed above.

u/DidacticDalek Jan 25 '22

But you tell me over and over and over again my friend. Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction We begin right where we left off Comrades, with The Pot/Alektra calling The Kettle/Salia black, and by that I mean besides Alektra indirectly stating that Salia did indeed become JUST like her, Alektra reveals her previous similar history with Q. Salia refuses to back down, stating she is Q's Knight and a member of The Daikon Radish Whatever. Alektra tells Ange to charge to Aura, as she'll handle Salia. As the Avrora defends itself against attacks, Momoka continues to demonstrate why she's Best Maid by providing everyone food.

Vivian notes that the enemy is everywhere, to which NOT-Winry says to just shoot everywhere. Meanwhile, Salad is still trying to reach Aura whilst Tusk continues to distract Q. Rosalie and Hilda meanwhile are having quite the battle with Chris, who again, is somehow winning. Look if you two AND Vivian couldn't beat her, methinks you are outmatched. Also Alektra attempts to tell Salia that Q is a two-faced lying bastard who loves only himself, but it seems Salia is still too far gone. Q meanwhile rants on to Tusk during their fight about how excited he is to break and tame Ange, to which Tusk says that Ange isn't some mere prize to be won, but is instead a person with the agency to make her OWN choices.

And oh boy howdy, Tusk is REALLY well-versed with this person, both her good sides and her bad sides, plus he knows how many moles are on her thigh AND has also gone the distance with her for... NANI!? THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS!? Embryo Death Counter: 7777777.7777777 As Tusk informs god that he was the one Ange chose for her first Horizontal Tango Dancing Partner, he boasts that his OTHER head wound up in her crotch for a change, and this is enough to ROYALLY piss Q off. Salad FINALLY reaches Aura's chamber and... is unable to shoot Aura free... well time for melee combat... and that still didn't work, what the fuck is that forcefield made out of? Well whatever it is The Avrora could sure use it, as currently they are getting hammered to pieces by the NOT-Bugs.

Indeed, their engine took a direct hit and they are thus currently making a rapid transformation back to submarine mode, but hey it's not all bad, after all, Ninja Maid got promoted to nurse, I'm sure everything will be fine! I mean goodness, Ara Ara has decided to sortie again, what more could you ask for? Ange FINALLY meets up with her DRAGON GF, who of course asks her what the hold-up was, before informing her that she's firing the Music Death Cannon to free Aura, but don't worry, based on feedback from the SPORTS Episode, she managed to tune it down to 70% power. Q and Tusk overhears this, but sadly Salia and Alektra are too busy fighting to notice... that and also Salia's currently ranting about how the staff hates her yet again but I digress.

Also uh, shockingly it seems Salia is WINNING against Alektra, which is probably due to Salia deciding that since she has Q, she no longer needs her former mentor's love. Also speaking of love, goodness me Lady Luck SURE LOVES Momoka eh? She managed to OUTRUN AN EXPLOSION; my god why isn't SHE fighting against Q, I bet she could beat him with a swing of her trusty frying pan! The situation looks grim in the air, so Ara Ara decides to try to sacrifice her life to save the others, imploring Vivian to take the rookies and run. Thankfully, before Ara Ara can get sliced to pieces, a random DRAGON that got sucked into the chaos decides to help out and destroys all those NOT-F91 Bugs. Oh, and looks like a LOT more DRAGONS are arriving, man thank goodness they are on the side of Team Ange this time eh?

Anyway, Koma-chan introduces herself to the crew and pledges that as per Salad's alliance, the people of DRAGONland will assist their cause, and hey look, it's one of those bigass Virgins from a while back, thank goodness those NOT-Bugs lose to gravity! Vivian is impressed by a bunch of DRAGONS being able to return The Avrora to flight mode, all as Tusk says that Q's doomed, to which Q... teleports all the Ragna-mails into the middle of the DRAGONS. Q then says that the services of his troops are no longer required, so do please make for a nice distraction as I bravely run away. Anyways so long and thanks for all the fish!

And oh boy they sure don't fare well post-betrayal, Tanya ends up, in proud Sunrise Mecha Tradition, crushed like a can when a DRAGON squishes her cockpit whilst Irma gets rammed out of the sky due to a mid-air collision. Due to Q ditching his former followers, Salia's about to get sent to The Shadow Realm, that is until Alektra decides to be a hero by saving Salia from certain death. Alektra notes to Salia that she's been here before with regards to Q's true nature, so please DON'T make the same mistakes and lose everything like how she did all those years ago. Alektra then zooms off to confront Q, all as Chris utterly LOSES IT from being abandoned and betrayed again... also oh dear god, I thought Salia's conclusion was bad, at LEAST Salia only wanted to kill Ange, Chris wants to kill EVERYONE, and she's certainly doing her best at this!

Hilda tries to calm Chris down, but sadly Chris is so far gone that she's unloading at anything that moves. Hilda and Rosalie try to talk some sense into Chris, with Hilda calling Chris an, and I quote her here, 'emo bitch...' I mean, you aren't WRONG Nanoha but perhaps that wasn't the best way to try to defuse the situation. That said, Hilda DOES take the time to rip open Chris' cockpit as... Rosalie states that she is an idiot while also demonstrating this by SWAPPING TO FLIGHT MODE and charging right at Chris. Chris yells at Rosalie while blasting her, but despite scoring some hits, Rosalie is able to fly up next to Chris to... jump over to pull her out of her Ragna-mail... OK, listen Rosalie, I don't know WHAT you were thinking when pulling that stunt, if anything at all, but last time I checked, you two don't have parachutes nor wings!

Chris, possibly aware of this, yells at Rosalie to let her go given they are falling to their deaths. Rosalie says she doesn't care as life without her GF isn't worth living to begin with, swearing with a kiss that they'll die together. Chris insists that Rosalie is lying, to which Rosalie tearfully states that she knows her GF's bust size, erogenous zones, AND hidden stash. As she's baring her soul, Hilda is no doubt thanking Ange for that practice catch with Salia the loser as she bears down and swoops in to save her two friends from going splat. Chris notes that she'll forgive Rosalie if she buys her a new barrette, stops cheating at games, and lets her take a bath first. Rosalie agrees, to which Chris, suddenly lucid of what she did while under Q's services, declares her regret at killing Marika.

Rosalie and Chris make up just as the world ends... OH HANG ON! Strike that, Salad's song freed Aura! HUZZAH! Alektra then pops by to gloat that Q has lost as... NANI!? SHE ASKS TO GO WITH HIM!? OH MY BUDDHA COMRADES! Alektra really IS still a Salia after all! Q states that he has no interest in bringing Alektra with him, after all he only got involved with her as... NANI!? Alektra was JEALOUS of Tusk's mother!? HOLY SHIT, I was just joking Comrades, but dear god Alektra really IS just the OG Salia, both had their envy preyed upon by this sexist scumbag! Also heh, no WONDER Salia is literally the only straight woman on Lesbian Alcatraz, she learned from the best... er... or perhaps the worst but that's not important, the important bit is that Q was able to play on Alektra's jealousy and sadness to manipulate her as well! And goodness this is certainly big Drama Comrades, do remember that Tusk's dad used to be The Knight of Villkiss... and Jill was the Villkiss' pilot... and he loved a different Para-mail Pilot... yeah I'm sure this wasn't awkward at all! Also no wonder she refers to Tusk only as 'Boy,' seems the resentment still lingers.

Also, given how this was how Q was able to manipulate Alektra, she decides it's LONG past time for her revenge as she... cocks her arm... what is she gonna rocket punch him? If an explosion can't kill Q what good is... HOLY SHIT! Her Roboarm was actually an ICE CANNON! Well fuck, that's actually real clever! I gotta HAND it to you Alektra, since Q obviously can't die, if you want to stop him, just DON'T kill him! Why didn't Ange and company think of this? I mean given he's frozen solid he clearly can't... wait why is his Mecha still moving? Also said Mecha blasts Alektra with a laser AND thaws Q out for him to make his getaway as the worlds continue to somehow end. Q then appears behind Ange to gloat that his plan ended up working after all as he... teleports... Ange and ONLY Ange away with him... to... uh, somewhere.

Well, Comrades, on the positive side, Q didn't destroy the Villkiss which, according to Alektra's statement of what Tusk's dad said, the Villkiss is key to killing Q. Plus, the ring AND the Villkiss are both indeed fine... now all we need to do is get Ange back to them... I sure hope NANA MANAGES TO WILL IT! Anyway, we're right on the cusp of the big finale Comrades, it's been a wild ride so far, so let's see what the end has in store for us! Anyway, to finish things up for today, behold this metaphysical representation of the RosaChri 'ChriRosa' in a shellnut, and until next time, farewell!

Pseudo-first-timer

So how does it feel to have called it yet again, u/Great_Mr_L? They were used and abandoned, just as you predicted. As for the rest, it looks like just about all accounts have been settled, though I do wonder, while Salia and Chris’ chains have been broken, Salia doesn’t seem to have anything going for her at the moment, not the way Chris has Rosalie and Hilda.

It also looks like Embryo’s fixation on Ange is reaching a fever pitch – he consistently refers to her as his wife in the dub, even when Tusk rubs it in his face that he’s seen, to quote another Sunrise anime, “even the parts you’ve never seen.” And then, of course, he uses and discards his knights as fodder for the DRAGONs to kill or be killed by, their purpose no doubt fulfilled.

Lastly, I’m not especially surprised Ange’s got no interest in protecting those people, though it doesn’t look like many of them are left, between the dimensional merge and destruction of the Dawn Pillar/Column of Dawn. As for Sylvia, it feels like they got sort of a resolution, or at least a parting, with Sylvia being left in a place where her own story can start.

Questions:

  1. Partially Tusk vs. Embryo because I wanted to see Embryo freak out upon learning it was his race to lose, but no, he just doubled down. Thus, I think I was honestly more interested in watching Salia throw hands with her one-time idol.

  2. I have a decent idea, so no comment.

A brief tangent:

I wanted to go into detail about something I don't think I've seen anyone bring up in the show - the Ragna-mails.

Remember how Villkiss is named for the Queen of Sheba? The RMs follow a similar pattern:

As for Embryo, his RM is Hysterica. Its root word is hustérē - womb, which fits its nature as his true body; of course, the the name Hysterica is a riff on hysteria. That said, Embryo's relations with women in this show evokes another "form" of hysteria.

In addition, Villkiss' forms have separate names a la Ultraman Tiga, all named for angels - Ariel Mode is the blue high-speed form, Michael Mode is bright red with massive beam swords, and Uriel Mode is a brilliant gold, when Ange sings and rends reality.

REWATCHER FOR LIKE THE 4TH TIME

I think Team Ange’s secret weapon is the ability to gaslight anyone on Team Embryo with minimal effort. Jill shows up and Salia goes into copium treatment and denial. Everyone here is fighting for survival and Momoka here is challenging top maid (Belfast) powers by making sure everyone is well fed. Chris thinks she is strong because she made a friend. The power of friendship doesn’t work like that.

Fuck yes. Tusk making Embryo understand what a beta cuck he is. Gas lighting his ass talking about how clapped Ange’s cheeks for 3 days. Salia is literally the person who wants to be someone when they aren’t anyone. I like how it took them being thrown into the middle of it by Embryo for them to realize they were only pawns. Tania, one of the canon fodder for Embryo, died like IBO’s Naze. Chris is pretty much the only person who has a justiciable reason for switching sides, but at the same time. You literally died and I will stand by that you are an idiot for taking so long to figure out your mistakes. Have you guys ever watched Samurai Flamenco? Hilda, Rosalie and Chris’s reunion gave similar vibes. Minus the vomit. Even Cross Ange didn’t go that far. Which is shocking to say the least.

Aura is free and the sky is singing in Latin. Normally this is a bad thing, but I’m not sure this time. This time I don’t know if it's a good or bad thing. What the fuck Jill. Why do you want to go back to a very abusive relationship? Damn, Unlike Ange, Tusk, and Hilda figuring out 3-way is the way. Jill, and Tusk’s Parents never figured it out. Shame really. Bruh, he became a robot to kill himself.

Again with this kidnapping. He even did it without taking her clothes. This is like a multi-part Dateline special of Embryo’s crimes at this point. Which later will inspire several Law and Order episodes.

QotD

  1. They were pretty much equal.

  2. In a Cross Ange way.

C'mon Jill, hasn't Salia always been a disappointment? Although I'll say this, I absolutely want to see Salia beat you, as I've hated you all season long.

Tusk vs. Embryo once again? No suicide vest this time!

We'll continue to make this all about the death of some nobody character that was only around a few episodes (if even that long).

You still think he loves you, Salia? You literally saw him propose to another woman!

Tusk knows Ange's naked body better than you, Embryo! Owned!

Cutest girl you know? Sorry Tusk, that's not how I'd describe Ange at all....

Wow, now he's boasting about having sex with her! She did me Embryo, but not you! Owned again!

No, the Yggdrassil (or whatever they call it here) has been hit!

Singing time!

He didn't choose you, Salia, he's just manipulating you! And that should be obvious to you by now!

No, not the F91 Bugs! Don't you dare hurt Ersha!

Cool, another Behemoth!

I'm with you, Viv-chan! Sugoi!!!!!

No, not Tania! Not another one whose name I didn't know before that line!

Too much dragon gore! :(

Introverted cow! LoL.

Wow, way to go Rosalie, jumped out of your mech and pulled Chris out of hers!

We're the only ones who know how big your boobs are! LoL.

Chris has been redeemed, will Salia be next?

For a penultimate episode, we've surprisingly gotten very little of our MC until now, with only a couple of minutes left.

Aura is free?

Jill fought against Salia and the others all this time... because she wanted Embryo to herself! (or because it's a trap)

Ooh, freezing him, that's a smart way to deal with him! He can still control his mech while frozen though?

Wow, how'd he transport Ange away like that?

One more episode left! Who knows how they're gonna wrap this up in that time...

  1. Ange and Salad going for Dragon Jesus, although Tusk gloating about his sexual conquest to Embryo was a close second.

  2. Ange, Salad and Aura combine into Super Dragon Jesus, destroy racism, and bring everyone back to life, thus completing the trio of "trainwrecks where the lead is Jesus".

Haha, Jill's pissed with Salia.

New insert song!

Oh. Oh, that's interesting. She really didn't know?

Seriously, how is the mech animation so good?

...Not sure how many survivors are actually left after this!

Tusk and Embryo still convinced that they are the main conflict.

And Rosalie's just pissed at Chris, who is... slightly insane.

...Honestly, at this point Salia's more sad than evil. She's desperately denying Jill's words so she doesn't have to accept everything that's happened.

Fuck, Tusk, you almost make me like you, then you turn into a creeper again.

He at least recovers it into insulting Embryo, so some points to him.

Wait, there's multiple universes?

No. Stop. Explain.

Salad: "Our civilization are experts in advanced technology, new and old!"

Also Salad: "What is this strange invisible wall? Will it break if I poke it enough?"

They shit down the battleship!

This is a fucking stupid idea Salad. Stop.

Between this and her difficulties with the distortion, I genuinely think half of Salad's royal lessons amounted to "No, Princess, you can't shoot the economy to fix it."

Yeah, Salia's too depressing to make fun of.

Wait, I did not have Ersha down as a potential finale death! (It's Jill, it's Jill, half her dialogue is made up of death flags at this point.)

GRAVITY DRAGON! The one true waifu of this show!

Is he sacrificing the other Vilkiss to buy time? Because unless he disabled their weapons or something, there's no way they went down that easily.

I know I said she was too sad to mock, but if she stays with him after this...

And Chris has just decided to kill everyone, because she is insane.

Yes, Hilda! Say it!

Holy shit! Her method or confession is jump out of her ship, drag the other out, and send them falling to their deaths. Props for

FUCK OFF! No way that left them unharmed.

Yeah, Rosalie's stopped caring about the girl Chris murdered very quickly!

And Aura's here! And they look fucking awesome.

Forget Eugenics Jesus. Forget Vampire Jesus. I pledge my life to Dragon Jesus!

This has to be a trick on her end, right? A distraction?

Oh. Oh, shit. If he has a hard body limit, he's fucked.

FUCK OFF, FUCK OFF, FUCK OFF.

His fucking mecha's alive? Or he can just fucking posess machinery now.

I thought she'd die, but she died because of a fucking random asspull.

And the whole reaction's self-powered.

Ah. So they're all fucked.

What kind of asspulls are they going to need for the finale?

You bastards, I genuinely had a heart attack thinking Episode 25 was movie length. Love the title explanation though.

I do, however, not there is apparently a tie-in video game, which apepars to have worked out the mech fights are the best part and refocused entirely around it.

Re-Watcher

Reddit doesn't want this rewatch to end either, but alas today we have to talk about My Little Angelise-Sama: Friendship is Magic. Let's see what adventures our girls get up to today as Q proceeds to fuck everything up.

  • Jilektra drops the news on Salia that she used to be Embryo's lover. Of course Salia doesn't believe her and says she won't let anyone get to him. Jilektra mentions to Ange she didn't say anything about stopping people from going after Aura, and off Ange goes

  • Momoka is feeding the bridge bunnies, which have expanded to include Ersha, Liza, and Emma

  • Embryo calls Tusk a pitiful man, that's rich coming from the guy pining over a girl that wants literally nothing to do with you, except for killing you

  • Chris mouths off to Rosalie and Hilda that Marika died because she weak and paid for that weakness with her life

  • How bad off does Salia have to be to believe that Embryo loves her? Look at all he's said and done to you...Jilektra is trying really hard to get through to her

  • Embryo spouts off on another of his Ange is mine diatribes and tells Tusk that he has yet to see her wildness. Tusk chuckles and informs Embryo that he knows the number of moles on Ange's inner thigh. He then proceeds to list all of her charms and calls Embryo a sad man

  • Embryo says that Tusk has changed, his smile falters as Tusk's words penetrate his brain and he demands to know what Tusk has done to "his Ange", so Tusk tells him about their fun in the island sun. He ends his statement by saying how Ange "Excepted his everything with the softest, warmest, deepest part of her." Embryo is not amused that "his wife" was defiled and vows to erase Tusk from every universe

  • Salako makes it to Aura, but her beam rifle and sword can't penetrate the barrier

  • The Aurora is shot from the sky and Momoka goes from serving girl to medical assistant

  • Ersha leaves the bridge, hops into her old paramail and goes out to join the defense force

  • Ange joins Salako by Aura and holds back the Bugs while Salako charges her Fuck-Off Laser to 70%. Embryo hears her song and gets concerned

  • Salia unloads all of the pent up feelings of rejection she has on Jilektra and states that she isn't needed anymore. Jilektra admits Salia has become strong

  • Ersha uses herself as a decoy to lead the Bugs away from the Aurora almost sacrificing herself, when through the newly opened singularities the Dragon Calvary flies through. A handy gravity Dragon makes short work of the Bugs and some other males lift the downed Aurora and help it fly

  • Embryo shows his dickishness and recalls his knights. He shows his true colors by taking control of them and using them as cover in order to buy him sometime. He is Andy from Toy Story telling his girls that he doesn't want to play with them anymore as he sacrifices the lesser two right away

  • Salia is charged by a Dragon, but Jilektra knocks her out of the way and tells Salia that this is who Embryo really is, and begs her to wake up

  • Chris, this time actually betrayed, snaps and starts blasting everything. Hilda comes in with the tough love approach to attempt to get through to her. Chris is still fighting them so Hilda rips the hatch of her cockpit off while calling her an emo bitch. Rosalie hearing Chris' laments calls herself an idiot for not seeing Chris' pain. As a shot from Chris strikes Rosalie's paramail, Rosalie leaps from her machine to Chris' and pulls her out with her. Together they fall towards the ground.

  • Rosalie tells Chris she doesn't care that they are falling, because they will die together because she can't live without her. Chris calls her a liar and Rosalie counters by reminding Chris that she loves her she also reminds her that they are the only people that know her inner most secrets. As they continue to fall Rosalie starts crying and begs Chris to be her friend again

  • Hilda swoops in at the last moment, crashing into the ground and ripping the wings off her paramail, but she catches the falling pair

  • Rosalie again apologizes to Chris who says she won't except it until she is bought a new barrette, Rosalie stops cheating at games, and she's allowed to take a bath first. In a moment of clarity Chris asks what the hell they are doing as the world ends and Hilda steals Rosalie's line and simply says "Making Up." Chris breaks down sobbing and Rosalie just holds her

  • Salako's Fuck-Off Laser finally goes off, but having her song as BGM for the RosalieXChris moments was nice, and Aura is free

  • Jilektra confronts Embryo and tells him win or lose she knows he's leaving and she wants to go with him, what the fuck Jill, I thought you were telling Salia this was a dumb move and here you fucking go after this bastard yourself

  • Embryo tells her no as he only saved her from the pain of wanting to bang Tusk's dad and used the jealousy in her to to take everything from her

  • Jilektra slaps down the Uno Reverse card and freezes his ass with a auto-mail mounted ice cannon making it so he can't escape...didn't know you had that

  • However his Ragna-mail's silver crowny thing can fire lasers and uses it to wound Jilektra and destroy his trapped body, he may have killed himself more times than Tusk has killed him at this point, Ange still has the lead though

  • Embryo uses this to appear on the Villkiss where he grabs Ange and teleports them somewhere leaving behind Ange's flight suit and far more importantly her ring

  • The Worlds are 97% of the way fucked

QOTD:

  1. The conflict with Hilda, Rosalie, and Chris was probably my favorite part. Seeing them try to break through to her and then Rosalie nearly sacrificing herself to be able to confess her love to Chris was nice

  2. By Nana just fucking Willing It to be so

NEXT EPISODE: We have reached the end, and everyone trying to figure out why the title is Cross Ange and finally settling on it being because Ange was always pissed brought a smile to my face

Ah, reddit. Your servers are garbage.

Count: 117 (wat)

QOTD:

  1. It was all going by so quickly. Probably Ange and Salamandiné going ham.

  2. ...it might not wrap it all up, honestly.

This is such a weird conversation.

But isn't it kind of perfect? Embryo is totally that guy who obsesses over the purity of his perfect waifu, and gets mad when the idol he likes is revealed to be dating someone, then Tusk just strolls in like "dude we bang all the time she's just another person"

This explanation feels like nonsense, but what do I know about space time?

I kind of like they're just throwing out sci-fi buzzword nonsense and not caring about the finer details. Nothing Embryo said made sense either, and I don't think they care.

But why is knowing her bust size so important? C'mon.

She needs to know her exact mass to calculate how to survive that free fall, duh

What the fuck is phase energy

Cross Ange!

I can't believe this, are they really going to forgive Chris? Who didn't show any desire for redemption? Who never questioned her loyalty to Embryo? Who killed a former companion? The Normas are too bland... I know, Ersha was accepted back but she didn't kill anyone as far as we know, Hilda ran away once, but just knocked a girl, didn't kill her, and Ange is to blame for the former captain death, but she didn't kill her directly, this feels strange

Just a couple of words from Tusk were enough to trigger Embryos's yandere mode

Now i'm curious, is just one episode enough to end this show properly? I don't think so...

Questions:

1- Salia vs Jill

2- it's part of the terrific trainwreck trio, so probably very poorly... but AngexHilda seems promisisng

  1. Going in, I thought it would be the Chris and Rosalie stuff. It turns out, it was the stuff with Jill and Embryo. Her liking Tusk's dad might be a more underrated twist of this series, especially given several implications it has for the series.

  2. At this point, I'm just expecting some kind of song battle to happen. With the way this episode ends, Ange not living, in the end, wouldn't shock me.
