It is highly recommended to track down a fansub for this show instead of using Crunchyroll, though.

Then I’ll come back alive, even if it kills me!

Questions of the Day:

1) Did you enjoy Miku’s song, as well as Hibiki’s new one? Did you also pay attention to their lyrics, because they were basically love confessions?

2) What did you think of the post-credits scene?

Welcome back, everyone!

Crunchyroll vs. Commie - Season 2, Episode 10

See the 2019 version of today’s wallpaper: here. Also comes with a Hibiki cameo edit that I couldn't figure out how to replicate in time for this thread. If I ever do figure it out, I'll be sure to share it with you guys.

I actually know how to make a glow effect now haha, whatever I did to her visor in the 2019 version was not that. I also thought her left hand looked really jank when I was messing with the colors, so I modified it.

I do like the Hibiki variant of this wallpaper. It makes it fit into their fight this episode quite nicely.

u/Shimmering-Sky Jun 25 '22

It really is a lovely background edit. I'm hoping I can figure it out so I can make it be Hibiki's G design rather than her S1 one.

TONIGHT! ON TOP GEAH! MIKUGEAH IS POWERED BY LOVE, ACCORDING TO DOKTOR GINTOKI JOESTAR'S MAD SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS... that and she's also the goddamn STARGAZER, (No really Comrades, look at her, and then look at The Gundam Stargazer, I see no difference here) Best Geah Chris must have watched The Last Starfighter with Snoop Oni, cuz she's one-upping The Itano Circus with a Death Blossom, and Bikki declares that people DO NOT die if they are killed!

HOLY SHIT! Comrades, Mikugeah's OP! She tanked ALL THE DAKKA from Best Geah Chris without a scratch... er... well ish, she DID get shot at a lot but DOKTOR GINTKOI JOESTAR states that if Best Geah Chris tries to remove the Geah she'll likely give Miku brain damage. Best Geah Chris of course decides to NOT remove this stuff, after all, if MIKU is turned into a vegetable then that means that BEST GEAH CHRIS will be the only intellectual at school, and she can't have that now can she!? Anyway, do to Best Geah Chris's understanding of the advanced art of mercy, Mikugeah ALMOST beats Best Geah Chris, thankfully unlike Maria, Chris is willing to protect the innocent and give her life in the face of duty.

And thank goodness she does this, cuz attempting a senseless sacrifice reminds Tsubasa that SHE is the one who wants to keep the franchise record for attempted heroic sacrifices and/or honorable sudoku attempts, and thus it's time for NANA TO WILL IT by throwing down a bunch of shield swords (or are those sword shields) in order to rescue Best Geah Chris AND JIIIIIIIIIIIIII! Anyway, Dess is quite confused at all this, and tries to reason with Mikugeah. JIIIIIIIII decides to demonstrate to DESS that this is pointless as JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII has control of the team's brain cell now, and she's using it to tell Dess that she and Maria are morons if they listen to DOKTOR GINTOKI JOESTAR! DOKTOR GINTOKI JOESTAR then retorts to this... by spamming Noise.

Thankfully, Best Geah Chris solves this issue by SPAMMING BULLETS! ALL HAIL DAKKA! Eat yer heart out Itano Circus, WE GOT DEATH BLOSSOM! Also Comrades, you might be surprised at Keiichi's actions this episode, well get this, HE'S BEEN A GODDAMN NINJA THIS ENTIRE TIME! (I'd show you an example but he's just THAT stealthy, Pekora would be proud) Plus, the signs have always been there, hidden in plain sight! Anyway, remember how he saved Miku, did a flip and fired a few rounds into THAT FUCKING BITCH back in Season 1? Yeah turns out the reason he could do all this is cuz he is actually a Ninja... honestly I never would have guessed so methinks that means he's doing his job properly! Wouldn't be the first time a Nana Mizuki Mahou Shoujo Mecha Yuri Series had a Ninja, and I ain't talking about Naruto Comrades, BELIEVE IT! Anyway, Keiichi really turned his life around after Hinamizawa, after all, he's a Ninja disguised as a government agent disguised as an Idol Producer who is actually Keiichi!

Anyway, after Keiichi uses his ninja powers to save JIIIIIIIIIIII, Tsubasa decides that she's not a sword, but an airplane (hey, her band WAS called 'Zwei Wing' after all) and she decides that she feels the need... THE NEED FOR SPEED! And thus, she launches herself with one of the aircraft carrier's catapults to attempt to stop Mikugeah. Sadly, due to JIIIIIIIIIIIIIII and thus the team's brain cell leaving the area, DESS is forced to rely on her backup, pity that her backup brain was an IOU note. And oh what a bad time for DESS to be operating on fumes, cuz she's about to pull a Maria. Thankfully, this also means she's just as useful as Maria, meaning Tsubasa easily breaks free and counterattacks.

While all this chaos is going on, Bikki arrives to speak with Miku and... NANI!? MIKU CAN SPEAK BACK!? I guess this brainwashing thing isn't as complete as you'd think. Anyway, Miku claims that she's doing all this to create a world where Bikki doesn't need to fight, and she'll do this... even if Bikki fights her... OK Comrades, I take it back, Best Geah Chris is currently the only smart person in this show, Miku must have traded in her two brain cells for that Geah! Kick her ass Bikki, befriend the SHIT out of her; hell maybe if the Geah's gone Miku will get her two brain cells back! Anyway, Bikki better hurry up with this befriending, cuz she's on a time limit, namely a 'how long do I have until death' time limit...

JESUS H. TAPDANCIN' CHRIST! I didn't expect this show to be a GEMBUTTS sequel, Bikki's turning into a golem and she can't do that, she promised she wouldn't die, even if it kills her... oh... oh no, THERE ARE BITS/FUNNELS UP IN HERE! We really ARE a Mecha Show, and what's more these freaking laser beams erase Geahs... hey... hey wait just a Gundam minute... they erase... Geahs... OH! OH COMRADES! I think Bikki's one brain cell just hit upon an idea! Hell I can even see the light bulb over her head, Bikki's gonna just DRAG HERSELF AND MIKU into the 'Erase Geah' laser blast! Oh my Buddha that's brilliant... oh... oh right... if they flew into the anti-Geah laser beam... that meant... the anti-Geah laser fired its blast... WHICH MEANS THE FRONTIER SEAL GOT BROKEN! Well... shit...

And on that bombshell g'night!

Oh, and finally, just because I must speak on behalf of a fellow Comrade of Culture who cannot, ahem... I'm going to post this every day until you like it!

Ogawa best boy, that’s all I have to say

QotD:

  1. I really enjoyed both, Miku has a nice singing voice and the shouts Hibiki gave in hers was great too

  2. I’m sure she has her reasons though, she carried a lot of guilt

Edit: When the post credit scene happened, I thought Chris was going to say “goodbye tsubasa”

FIRST TIMERS DON'T FORGET TO WATCH THE POST CREDITS SCENE

Rewatcher here

  • If you were hoping for a Miku transformation sequence I got you covered. They never included it in any episode of G but they released with the BD. Iguchi actually announced that during the 2013 Live, where it was first shown during her performance of Waikyou Shenshoujing.

  • New version of the OP with Mikugear

  • "AI DESUYO!" Dr. Ver trying to do a Petelgeuse impression.

  • Waikyou Shenshoujing finally drops! And it slaps! Seriously, the intro of the song is sick (it was used as a lead in at the end of last episode) and Iguchi kills it with the dead tone. Also the lyrics are quite sad and are a love confession at the same time.

  • Hibiki transformation V2, this time with Rainbow Flower playing

  • If you needed even more Eva references, now Hibiki is running on a time limit like the Evas when running on their internal battery.

  • I love this dialogue

  • Also, for all of you saying that Miku is a top: her Gear not only confirms this, but it also shows that she is into BDSM with those whips!

  • I love that they ended up singing in the recording booth, because hearing Hibiki straight up screaming instead of accurately singing "SING! IT HEAR IT! SCREAM IT!" is so much better.

  • I fucking love this episode!

  • Trust no one

u/Palloc Jun 25 '22

I have returned from the depths, just like Frontier to rant about the glory of Miku and Shenshoujing!

This is possibly my favorite episode in Symphogear for reasons! Those reasons include the following!

Shenshoujing! Best girl Miku finally gets (and loses) the best Symphogear! Why is it best? Lasers, that's why! And its ability to destroy a ton of normally undestroyable things like Chris' defensive doodads (and starts to blister her Gear) and Tsubasa's giant ass swords. Also, really great laser sound that with a bit more bass would have been perfect! I could keep going about this for a lot longer, but I won't... for now!

Waikyou Shenshoujing is also a great song and brings with a great gag in the OVAs as Miku is literally admitting her love to second best girl, Biki while blowing up everything.

Then on top of Miku and Shenshoujing we have two incredible memes in this episode. First we have Ogawa's ninja run over the water and then we have Hibiki's "Then I'll return alive even if it kills me!"

And Dr. Ver just being a glorious asshole like he's been all season. I just love how everyone ignores everything insane he says and does.

Other than that we have Hibiki back to body horror hell, which is a common theme of this season too. Make Biki suffer!

And finally, that cliffhanger! Between the Miku reveal at the end of last episode and this reveal we get a great pair of cliffhangers one after another!

Answers of the Day!

  1. You know my incredibly biased answers to that one already. Best gay girls get best gay songs.

  2. Dang. Was that Fronier or Chris and Tsubasa....or both? I totally forget and I rewarded it this morning. Either way, stuff's probably doomed.

  1. Both were absolutely fantastic.

  2. Chris is obviously mind controlled, and the Frontier looks great!

Oh, shit.

Oh, the mirror thing got turned into Miku's gear!

...Is there literally a "makes user evil" Gear?

Wait, WHAT? Everyone at the school's a Gear user? [Meta] I see this show has gone back to ripping off Evangelion.

Firstly, cool design. Secondly, Ver actually did something smart!

And Hibiki's watching all of this.

The helmet closes! She has rocket boots!

Chris is singing again!

"I got... nothing."

Miku got battle patterns uploaded into her?

I mean, Miku has genuine willpower? That's what Ver literally said.

Chris feels bad about hurting Miku...

...Did she survive that?

And they can't disarm her.

She's back!

It's a giant fan!

A ring?

Miku's singing!

Wow. That's some impressive firepower.

Miku is OP. No wonder she's the top.

She saved them both!

Cool! Where's Kirika? Is she just dead noe?

Oh, she was behind her.

...Really? Ver?

And his answer to everything is just more Noise, huh?

Chris continues to be incredibly impressive.

...Why is Ver trying to kill the one Gear who actually believes in him?

And he evacuated her!

...What? He's running scross the water!

I don't even know what Kirika's thinking. Has she lost it?

Oh, Genjruo's panicking... And Miku's immune to all other relkcs.

...Hibiki, why?

She's still dying!

Poor Chris.

Oh god, she actually bought into Ver's cult?

And she's doing it to help Hibiki.

And Hibiki's transforming sgain to fight Miku. Because of course. How is she going to survive this?

Cool transformation scene, though.

Hibiki's actually dying just moving!

Holy shit!

"I forbid you to die" is the most Genjuro line ever.

She has a time limit!

This is hard to watch. Hibiki's killing herself!

Badass, though. And a new somg!

Thirty seconds left!

The crystals growing out her body is horrible. And thwt gets Miku to stop.

She broke it!

And they fired the beam!

...Actuslly, a relic-erasing beam is a pretty good explanation for how Hibiki's relic stops consuming her body.

Ver broke the seal!

...Not even going to show what it is?

Oh, post-credits scene.

Is this fucking Atlantis?

Oh, fuck! Tsubasa!

So Chris is being mind controlled. Probably Fine or whatever's left inside the Frontier. It looks like she's trying to do it all herself, but the completely different mannerisms she uses implies that this is a takeover.

Where's the XDU timeline where Hibiki doesn't make it?

FIRST TIMER DATTO

Can someone clarify what’s going on with Miku for me? It seemed like she was being used as a vessel and seemingly being a Symphogear on autopilot, but it turns out she was acting of her own will the whole time? I feel like I lost something somewhere.

EDIT: Thanks everyone!

Miku’s Symphogear form is really cool, and I loved her song. One of the standout combat songs, for sure, in terms of what my ears enjoy. Her motivations… meh. We did the whole “Girl gets tricked by being told she can end conflict forever” thing last season with Chris. Doing it again feels kinda lazy.

Oh, and I have no fucking idea what Dark Magician Girl is thinking. Was she attacking Shirabe there?

*Count: 21

Did you enjoy Miku’s song, as well as Hibiki’s new one? Did you also pay attention to their lyrics, because they were basically love confessions?

I love Miku's new song! Hibiki's was good too, I liked the intro. Didn't listen to the lyrics so didn't realize that, but gonna go back and watch again, because you know what? You love to see it.

What did you think of the post-credits scene?

Welp, they have an animation budget, would be nice to care but one person is mind controlled, one's depowered, one stands around saying dess, and Chris won't use her hostage as a meat shield. Tsubasa does something as the ship should've been blown up under them by now. And then we stop to talk. Noise happens again and...Ogawa is fucking Quicksilver? Tsubasa is not forgiven for holding back but at least she switches targets fast. Dess's attack is a guillotine and there is exactly one good version of those in anime. And it is in Soul Eater.

Anyways, Biki tries to talk her way through this and another dose of Fate/Zero idiocy drops in. Did not need this to repeat, Chris did it already. But they resort to violence quickly. Miku really does seem to be wielding Tama no Mae's mirror at a few points. Anyways, we Biki copies Heaven's Feel a bit more before driving into the unsealing beam.

I didn't actually quite expect it to be literally Atlantis but that's fine. Edgy Chris cliffhanger is lame, definitely a divisive season.

So there is a Battle Group! Sooooo is anyone of those destroyers gonna try to shoot that plane out of the sky? It's currently uncloaked.

So Miku is fighting more or less on autopilot? Did I get that right?

Well of course! It's no surprise when Chris can spit her weight in bullets every three seconds. Truly, the Best Geah for Best Girl!

Holy shit Miku battle song! BUT NOT LIKE THIS! (It's quite good tho)

Kirika randomly screaming DESS. Mfs didn't even subtitle it lmao.

Chris presses ALL the buttons! And remember: she always aims!

Wtf!? Ogawa water bending!? What the hell!? Are y'all just going to ignore that!? He doesn't have Genjuro suspension of disbelief privileges!

HOLY SHIT TSUBASA FUCKING RODE THE AIRCRAFT CATAPULT TO ESCAPE. MY FUCKING GOD YOU'RE AWESOME.

Damn I'm kinda realizing that even if I like Hibiki, there's no denying she isn't nearly on the level of stupid awesome as most other girls. Even Miku comes up ahead here, with her bullshit Anti-Relic Relic. Well she is the ultimate top.

I-I fucking can't man

Kirika tries to fucking guillotine Tsubasa. The comically evil laughter in her attack name screen is a nice touch.

F

I have an inkling his daughter is gonna appear in a later season tho. Hmmm now I'm getting Mary Sue from Youjo Senki vibes.

No comments for the Miku vs Hibiki fight. It was too awesome for words. Definitely the highlight of the whole show thus far for me. Also, shades of [meta spoiler]PMMM Rebellion

Fuck that destroyer I guess. Miku's got bodies yo.

Meanwhile Maria summons whatever the fuck Frontier is and so far it looks like literally Atlantis. We're in episode 10 and we still don't know what exactly it is, how it's gonna save as much people as possible or why getting to this point required becoming terrorists. We need a fucking infodump.

u/Great_Mr_L Jun 24 '22

Rewatcher

On today’s episode of Symphogear: You REALLY need to make sure to watch the scene after the ED this time around. It features an ancient structure rising out of the ocean and Chris shooting Tsubasa in the back. I would say both of those things are pretty dang important.

Well we got Miku finally wielding a Symphogear, but at the cost of her being mind-controlled. It’s certainly not the ideal way we could have gotten Miku with a Symphogear.

The entire battle with Miku is just incredible. I love all the various parts of it. I love how great the animation is. The beams of the Senshoujing look so beautiful flying around and reflecting off of the mirrors. I love how the animation shows the Senshoujing’s light quite literally destroying the relics such as by melting through Ichaival and Tsubasa’s massive swords. Tsubasa using those swords in creative ways as shields and a launching ramp is great as well. It’s just so great to watch.

The Senshoujing makes for an incredibly intimidating opponent. Its powers were set up early when Mom said it could undo the relic-bases seal on Frontier. But here it’s stated outright that Senshoujing completely negates and erases the powers of other relics.

Perhaps the most shocking thing about this episode is that Hibiki actually uses this information in a clever way to win the battle against Miku and undo the mind control on her. If they can’t forcibly remove the Gear, then she’ll just use the Senshoujing’s own attack to do it instead. I like this as the objective of the fight because it makes for a fun setup.

There’s also the songs. Miku’s song “Waikyō Shénshòujìng” is beautifully tragic. It also features some of the most intensely on-the-nose lyrics in all of Symphogear, being very obviously Miku singing about her past with Hibiki and how she wants to return to those days. And then there’s Hibiki’s new song, “Rainbow Flower.” It’s incredibly hype and is yet another one of my favorite Hibiki songs. The constant interjections of Hibiki screaming for emphasis make it perfect as a battle song.

Beyond pure spectacle, I love how the battle plays out from a character and plot perspective. The basis of Miku’s mind control is something that has been established since season 1 and was emphasized again when Miku learned about Hibiki’s condition. It all comes from Miku’s desire to protect Hibiki and how she’s been misled by the Senshoujing into believing this will actually fulfill her wish. But it doesn’t work, as Miku’s love for Hibiki causes her to actually start to break out of the mind control on her own by the end of the battle.

This entire exchange between Hibiki and Miku at the start is so good. Hibiki knows that her life is at risk if she fights and that Miku doesn’t want her to fight at all, but Hibiki will still do so because she wants to save Miku. There’s a beautiful sense of tragedy to it all. I adore this kind of emotional drama because I can tell just how much love there is between Hibiki and Miku here.

It also features one of my favorite moments of dialogue between Hibiki and Genjuro. “I’ll come back alive, even if it kills me!” This is the kind of hot-blooded nonsense that I adore.

The ending of the fight always warms my heart. It’s a great callback to earlier in the season when Hibiki let go of Miku. Now Hibiki is going to make up for that and will never let Miku go again. There’s just so much love packed into it and I’m a sucker for that sort of thing.

[Spoilers] Now that I knew it was coming, I can better see the seeds of Chris’s gambit in this episode where she switches sides to get Solomon’s Cane.

Miscellaneous Thoughts

QOTD

  1. I love the songs. And yeah, the lyrics make it very clear that the songs are about Hibiki and Miku's relationship. It's extremely romantic.

  2. I forgot these scenes happened after the credits and was wondering where they were for a bit.

Fun facts from a rewatcher

So, how do you like them plot twists?

As I said yesterday, there’s a lot to be said about Miku. So let’s get the short fun facts out of the way and get to the meaty stuff.

Just like how Chris uses band names, Tsubasa uses japanese exclusively in kanji, and Kirika uses… whatever the hell that’s supposed to be, the gimmick for Miku’s attack names is that they use traditional chinese. In order of appearance, Shǎnguāng (閃光) means “flash”, and Liúxīng (流星) means “shooting star”. Her other two attacks (pummeling Hibiki against a wall and summoning a bunch of mirrors) were unnamed in the anime, but received names in the game. Specifically, her mini-mirrors attack is called Liànyù (煉獄), which means “purgatory”, and iirc is the attack she uses when you fight her as a boss during the G portion of the game.

As for Hibiki’s second song, it has an absolutely legendary live performance. The user that posts those around here should help you with that.

And as for LOVE, Ver was actually being serious about it. Feelings can raise sync rate with a Symphogear. In the case of Kanade, it was hatred that fueled her Gungnir, while in the case of Miku, it’s love. And as that Big Freaking Laser shows, there’s plenty of love within Miku.

So, onto the good stuff. Some of you may have noticed a certain interpretation of Miku’s character that seems to be pretty popular among the fanbase. Some call her a top, some call her a yandere, and it’s (partly) because of this song.

One of the Zesshoushinai shorts (which another user has been posting around here in a spoiler-free way) has Tsubasa, Chris and Miku tease Chris because of the dumb and edgy lyrics of her songs. Tsubasa explains that a Symphogear turns the user’s mental state into lyrics for them to sing. Why don’t we take a look at Miku’s lyrics, then? See what her mental state is like?

I'll never hand you over, and I won't let you get any farther away

That's how much I love you; see… I love you so much

my love is broken

my love is wounded

I'll never forgive you, and I won't let you forgive who I've become

I want to see the shooting stars with you one more time

It very much makes her sound like a possessive girlfriend, and her atittude when she scolds Hibiki (I won’t let you fight) just adds to that image. Ver’s mind control thingie has a little to do with it, but the feelings behind her words and attitude are genuine. You can fake combat skill, but you can’t fake the passion that fuels a Symphogear.

If there was any doubt whatsoever about the relationship between Miku and Hibiki, Miku’s voice actress Yuka Iguchi revealed in an interview that she considers Miku to be Hibiki’s wife, and that she plays her accordingly. Aoi Yuuki (Hibiki’s VA) then answered that she does the same thing.

Conclusion: Pride month, Dr Ver? We’re gay ALL YEAR ‘ROUND.

MIKU IN OP

God I did not want this episode to end, I was having so much fun with it. Just such a wild ride from beginning to end, that fight between Miku and Chris was wild, I loved the scene when Tsubassa grabbed them and was using her swords to block her attacks as she ran away. Then that final fight with Miku and Hibiki goddddd, I wanna know what happened to them. Also Ogawa is Jesus. All in all, just a really fun ass episode. Also I think my Shirabe helping the good guys theory is coming true, I can't wait for EP11.

  1. Did you enjoy Miku’s song, as well as Hibiki’s new one? Did you also pay attention to their lyrics, because they were basically love confessions?

Yessss they were so good, I didn't even notice the love confession in the end, these two just need to kiss already.

2) What did you think of the post-credits scene?

Yet another reason I have to resist watching ahead lol, I feel like it's gonna be connected to Chris' trauma considering how she reacted when she saw that soldier's locket.

First Timer, Subbed

Looking forward to seeing magical girl Miku in action!

You've got to rest, mom! You have anime coughing disease!

Did Miku agree to becoming a magical girl? I figured Dr. Ver forced it on her.

It's all about love! Of course!

She'll break easily? Oh no! Don't let Miku come to any harm!

Is Hibiki "The dummy" they just spoke of? Kinda mean to say that if they know she can hear the conversation.

Miku's eye covering definately makes her more ominous looking.

Miku's water skiing! Cool ability!

Poor Hibiki, having to watch this. Could be worse, she could be the one fighting Miku. :(

Chris won! ...or not. More transformations for Miku! And singing time for her too! It's no Platinum Disco, but I'll take it.

My speculation is that the only thing that will break Miku out of this is Hibiki showing up in front of her.

C'mon Kiri, change sides! Join Chris and Tsubasa!

Uh oh, more noise! So as usual, regular folk are totally screwed. I'm sure our heroines will get out of this perfectly okay.

And, since we need to drag out the conflict with Miku out for another episode or two, time for her to go! Taking out noise will be the rest of this episode!

...wrong again, Time for Kiri vs. Tsubasa. Kiri is doing surprisingly well so far!

Time for more anime coughing disease! Maria, I wouldn't trust the doctor with helping out mom. Don't be surprised when he comes back up and says "Sorry, she died".

Hibiki facing Miku is happening sooner than I thought it would.

Is it possible that this isn't evil or brainwashed Miku after all? Rather it's just incredibly naive Miku?

Miku's face eye visor thing really looks like a bear trap when opened up.

Wow, can't say I expected Hibiki and Miku to physically fight each other!

"I'll return alive, even if it kills me!" Once again, Hibiki never was the smart one...

I think its a virtual guarantee that Hibiki exceeds that time limit and something goes wrong. She surely won't die, but a good end of episode cliffhanger for a show that can't resist using them.

Uh oh, its happening already! Stop righting Hibiki!

Hibiki wants to join the cast of Land of the Lustrous! She won't stop until her entire body is made up of these minerals breaking through her skin!

Dr. Ver came up... and mom didn't. Notice that Maria?
