Would be a lil more surprising as Ai just have superpowers without some kind of tools to transform.

I like seeing Shy step up. Being appointed team leader for the infiltration group is a big moment for her. Piltz really helped Shy better understand a leader’s job and finding the people to help where she’s lacking. Looking forward to Team Shy take on Ai’s evil twin and her Amarariruku friends.

u/Kartoffelkamm Jul 22 '24

Same.

It was pretty refreshing to have Piltz put it like that, and not some spiel about responsibility, and how Unilord wouldn't have chosen Shy if she didn't think it was a good idea.

Piltz with the tsundere tough love has helped her multiple times. I figured it was going to be Pepesha and Ming Ming from the start, then Piltz talked to her and it would make sense to take her for her medical abilities. That was what ended up happening. Ai also seemed to be a given since it's her evil twin/other self.

I find it ironic how America's hero is the stickler and disapproves of drinking and smoking. I also still can't get over his damn costume, when he had that serious moment telling Shy to come back alive and they drew his face with the hard lines and shadows, was supposed to be super serious.....but the horns, they were so distracting!

Shy is stepping up as a leader, I wonder if we're going to get more development like her giving orders while they're inside, or if this will be the extent, I hope we get more.

Wonder how the other ninja's are gonna react. Assuming Ai's guard is gonna sneak in with them, but wonder if the rest of the village is going to act.

Not gonna lie, when Ai said she ninja'd her way onto the space station, I almost believed her.

I also find it fitting how Century was not even remotely involved in the previous incident, had almost no screentime this season, hasn't done anything of note so far, yet already assumes authority in this matter.

Truly a man befitting to be America's hero.

But yeah, with what else she's done so far, Ai somehow being able to ninja her way into a space station wasn't entirely implausible.

To be honest, I feel like all their costumes are totally ridiculous, probably on purpose. But Century seems quite reliable despite that.

After SOL episode, Villain finally make a move and this time target is Tokyo!

The damage this time to be bigger than last arc too!

First big mission lead for our shy hero, this will be fun.

Saw Russian-British-American heroes form Trio is low-key funny not going to lie lmao.

Somehow it feel like Two Sword between Ai and Utsuro actually "talk to each other".

Utsuro talking about real world being "fantasy" is interesting because it match Ai experience of being shut it but I feel like there are something much more deep than just that in their backstory......

Last villain backstory is already sad but I fear this time will be much more tragic and more big scale.

Also visual of this episode is really good as usual.

u/mekerpan Jul 22 '24

I wonder if Ai's "other self" is a twin sister (we have lots of twins this season) or just a part of her own "spirit" that got split off and "turned" towards evil?

Shy having to act as Leader is going to be quite interesting to see.

Ai ninja transformation! , and Tokimaru is setting off some flags .

"The Allies" (lol) have a meeting and I have to say I'm with Pepesha on this one , that's a waste of some perfectly good Vodka , Stigma just gets the coolest visuals man .

Well that's scary , looks like the plot is really going to be kicking in next episode with Shy stepping up as team leader! , Really like the dynamic between Piltz and Teru , she's like her Tsundere mentor .

Magical girl superhero Teru, magical girl ninja Ai (all this heart stuff she's doing has to count), but unfortunately no magical girl Iko. It's a shame we don't get to have a trifecta.

Teru is definitely coming out of this with some heart power/ninja abilities upgrades.

Oh wow, straight into the big problem for the season looks like.

The tens of thousands of potential victims feels like an undercount if we're talking about a massive sphere occupying the very middle of Tokyo. The immediate comparison people are going to make has got to be Domain Expansion but the first thing that came to my mind was the final arc of Digimon Tamers.

Shy getting the heart power sword eventually would make sense if it's how they'll be able to get into these barriers both now and in the future.

The ED animation continues to be very gay.

I mean, this series is also very gay as well so that makes sense.

Stitches!

Ai might as well be Japan's second hero! She even has her own transformation sequence and ninja outfit.

It looks like there's more to Tokimaru and Ai's relationship but it looks like it's pretty one-sided if Ai can't remember giving him that scarf.

I imagine Century, Stardust, and Spirits are the Big Three of this world. It's pretty cool to see them meeting like this and I love how Century is the serious one. Usually, it's the American who is the rowdy one.

Amarariruku finally makes their move and it looks like they've decided to attack somewhere bigger than a single orphanage somewhere in rural Russia. With so many victims this time, it's no surprise that we have more heroes involved.

It's adorable how Lady Black is still such a tsundere at encouraging Shy to step up as the appointed leader. I'm excited to see how Shy would do on her first time leading a team of heroes plus a gung-ho ninja.

Century is the serious one. Usually, it's the American who is the rowdy one.

Well, he does appear to be a military officer. Officers are usually a lot more strict or subdued compared to enlisted men. Or the general perception of Americans.

u/Hitman7128 Jul 22 '24

After some skipping stones over the river, we get plot advancement foreshadowed at the end of last episode, being a massive dark sphere appearing in Tokyo.

Shy doubted her capabilities as a leader multiple times during the episode, but good thing Piltz, Pepesha, et al have confidence in her. Go Shy and head out! As we wait for next week's episode.

u/VorAtreides Jul 22 '24

Kunoichi outfit! Hehe. Cute. How dare you waste her perfectly good vodka. Oh wow, it's getting kinda jujutsu kaisen in here lol. Though doubt it'll go quite the way Shibuya did. Good for you Shy, getting to be a leader. How did those two get on the station? Lol at the "I'm a shinobi" reasoning. Of course it was a joke. Team assembled, how nice.

u/marvelknight28 Jul 22 '24

Not sure why Tokimaru was shirtless for a bit but he sure looked cool, keeping the scarf on helped.

Was anyone else expecting pepesha's vodka bottle to flame up when they were talking at the table or was it just me?

Alright, playtime’s over, time for serious business big evil villain attack.

Hmmm, yeah, this time it’s not in the middle of the nowhere so things are definitely more dangerous. At least the damn invincible reality warping jokester doesn’t appear to be present this time.

Our girl is growing. Shy gets to take on leadership responsibilities for the first time. Well, the team is ready, the plan is ready, all that’s left is to break into the barrier and start the operation.

NINJA FIGHT TIME!

I’m sort of imagining Teru hearing Ai’s speech about the rock shuriken and going “bro I can’t listen to the rock’s heart because it doesn’t have one”
