I sewhat you did there.men
This was me while it was all going down:
I was Vegeta.
Fondle happy bath time is a Japanese tradition between mothers and daughters. It's a beautiful thing, really. Notice how Satsuki wasn't in any pain afterwards. Ragyo's got the magic touch.
Hehehehehehehehehhe....
Okay, I'll try to give this prediction thing one more shot:
Ragyo isn't actually Satsuki's mother.
Satsuki knows this, and that'll be one of her motives to betray her.
Ragyo isn't actually Satsuki's mother.
As in, either some life fiber creature hijacked her body, or she tried to put life fibers in her own body (those scars!) and in the process the life fibers hijacked her mind.
Satsuki knows this, and that'll be one of her motives to betray her.
The indoctrination theory.
I don't know if it was posted here yet, but someone made a really nice symbolism overview.
The Azure dragon is probably Mikisugi, judging by his eyes, hair and eyebrows. He is probaly related to Ragyo, maybe her brother?
The Culture and Sport festival could probably be some sort of event where Ragyo wants to sacrifice a lot of students to the Life Fibers which is why Satsuki is planing to ambush her mother.
I still think that part of Issin and Satsuki's father were used to make the 2 Kamius. As a way to supress and control them.

I'm confused.
It sounds like life fiber clothing was a boon to humanity, a mutually beneficial relationship. What's the problem with life fiber clothing coming out of dormancy?
The problem is that eventually the life fibers will invade human bodies and drain them of their life force. Humanity is essentially being raised to be food for the life fibers.

But I thought
the whole point is that they didn't want to kill their host and instead wanted to be worn on the exterior. Or are they only doing that until the population is large enough where they can just kill their hosts and have new ones born?

Satsuki's mother....thanks for taking crazy to a whole new level
More like they'll kill off humanity via feeding, then travel to another planet to begin the cycle again on another lifeform. Think Chrono Trigger/Lavos.
That when it finally awakens, Nudist Beach is seriously worried (and Ragyo seriously hoping, it seems) that the life fibers will enslave humanity or eat them to go int o space, or something similar. It is interesting that Nudist Beach has no clear idea as to what it will do. One thing's certain: Ragyo's evil as fuck.

Where in the episode was this said outright?
I think the most obvious reason for statsuki betraying her mother is
Not only would this ensure Satsukis dominance over everyone and the fulfilment of her ideals, it would also "save" mankind.
that she more or less knows her mother wants to destroy humanity or something of the sort.
Satsuki believes she can control the life fibres (and her mother) with her will. Her various "natural selection" competitions as well as her research would then ensure that her elite would be capabable of wearing life fibres properly while the normal people/ "pigs" ect. become essentially food.

I'll have to go back and rewatch it, but I believe it was during Mikisugi's monologue about the life fibers.
That's the closest we have, but seems like it's the goal. It also helps explain
why the life fibers ended up becoming clothes for humans instead of entering the body directly. As a parasitic life form, the fibers need to keep humans alive. Basically the whole of humanity is livestock being grown so the life fibers can then ingest humans to survive a trip to the next planet (as you had said). They could most likely take the strongest along with them to ensure they survive the trip, giving Ragyo and crew the idea that they'd share ruling power over humanity but will end up being fodder for the fibers themselves in the end.

First of all, 2nd Op is MILLION times better than the first one, its really great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0ozgewTClA
2ndly, great fakeout with the recap, genius and I genuinely laughed, 2nd lots of stuff are progressing, and lol at people who were so sure her father was senketsu lol.

Bath scene did it's job in making me uncomfortable. Still enjoyed it because I love Romi Park. Oh and the infodump was pretty neat, helps set things up. Not much to complain about, 9/10 episode.
Also, every recap in every anime should be condensed to 2 minutes and set to the Infernal Galop. And the new OP proves that Nonon has the best big hat collection.

Great episode. I like the twist and the bath scene just came from nowhere but whatever.
"Nudist Beach" makes so much sense now. But arent the belts and pouches made of fibers too?
New OP is great. Much better than the first one.

Regular clothes don't have fibers in them, unless that one company makes them.

The bath scene ruined the episode for me. Just why?
But apart from that it was pretty good, plenty of story!

Been posted many times but one more won't hurt:
That bath scene, I liked it because of the juxtaposition of cool, calm, and collected Satsuki showing vulnerability towards her domineering mother. I didn't like it because it was her mother and she was pretty much being fondled by her while Ragyo is saying some pretty creepy stuff. No doubt creepy doujinshi will arise.
Stupid sexy sensei has a stupid sexy voice.
Primordial Life Fibers made me think of Eva...I really hope this won't get to be like that.

I thought
that clothing in general was something that the Life Fibers gave humanity. But I guess it wouldnt make sense if all clothes already had Life Fibers, or else REVOCS would have won by now.
Two questions:
1) The part where Mako is surprised because
was that for real or just some kind of joke? They seemed to play it straight that Ryoko legitimately
2) Does anyone think that Mako's constant sleepiness is more than just a cute character trait?
1) The part where Mako is surprised because
Ryoko can see her little daydream "inside her head,"
has the ability to read Mako's thoughts.

Every time i see Kyriuin mom i see this.
Who in the hell?
The sequence itself was definitely pretty creepy, but this, more generally, is a big part of why I liked this episode. It felt like the first time we saw a truly vulnerable side of Satsuki, what with the bath scene and seeing the aftermath of her Kamui use. It humanizes her a lot, especially since I was getting really sick of her characterization so far.

It was said clearly that [spoilers]the life fiber clothing gave humankind the tradition of wearing clothes, and most clothing for a time wasn't life fiber infused. But REVOCS changed that.[/spoiler]
The only time we'll ever see it again. ;_;
