That was actually more satisfying than I expected it to be. They sold it. I enjoyed the gags this week as well. That Makomugu.
Pretty much everyone expected it after last week, and now that it's happened, I'm satisfied - kinda like with the reveal last week - because, again, it puts the more interesting elements of the story forward while relegating or outright ignoring its weaknesses.
Mako and her family are still the best things about the show.

Amazing episode.
Next time on Kill la Kill, Gamagoori Meets His Match! A Showdown of Promises!
Kill la Kill Episode 17:
So we have reached another grand culmination of events. As some have been predicting Satsuki has finally turned against Ragyo's domination and rejected her values and it was magnificent. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment as we see this is the 2013 ATOY Silver medalist.

That's it
I'm done waiting. I don't care how stupid the battle suits are. Gamagori and Mako have been tempting me FOREVER. Gonna watch episode 1.

Good episode. I hope this is not an exception and that they've really decided to just get the fuck on with the pacing. Getting all the "hidden plot" out of the way last week was a great start, and now they've actually moved on with the plot for the first time in ages. There were some pretty good scenes this week. Gamagori and Mako's family, all the "planning" for the festival, the DTR launch, and THAT scene at the end. It was all pretty predictable, but I'm glad it's finally actually happening.
Next week should be a good test to see if they still have action animators alive at Trigger.

How have you waited this long, The show is downright amazing.

Legal streaming across multiple sites makes for massive backlogs. It's easy to wait unless we're talking Space Dandy. I can't wait on that.

looking forward to next week's episode.
that scene had me spreading my legs, almost forgot that Ragyo was satsuski's mother for a second.

Holy Crap, Great Episode!. Ragyo's outfit looked like a mix between Kefka from FF6 and Lady Gaga

Amazing.
Amazing.
The real casualty is Blumenkranz. Here's hoping that outfit was more than just flash.
This is probably the first episode in about seven episodes that I've legitimately enjoyed.
There were a lot of predictable developments that ended up happening, like Kinue being one of Tsumugu's loved ones and Satsuki betraying Ragyo, but the latter was done in such a satisfying fashion (dat crucifixion) that it was still great to watch.
Mako's family was legitimately funny for once, loved Ragyo rocking that Darkstalkers Q-Bee look and it looks like the stakes have been ramped up now that the entire cities' lives are on the line. Also the plot finally moved the hell on which is a bonus.
The only weak point is that Ryuuko continues to be the weakest link in the show (seriously, at this point even Satsuki's butler is more interesting to watch). It also severely pissed me off that they're still teasing a rematch of Tsumugu vs. Ryuuko fight; it's obvious it's going to happen,they should have just gotten that over with already.

That's exactly why Satsuki is going to ultimately fail.

HO-LEE FUCK.
Loved it. I've been loving everything today.
Ragyo lookin like
Everyone got dressed up and was on point in this episode. Mako, Mankanshokus, Aikuro were all hilarious. The (somehow) unexpectedly literal backstab was fucking GLORIOUS, SO much payoff seeing that. Even if she is okay the next episode. I don't even remember what else I had to say, shit was fucking great aaaaahhhhhhhh!!

The show is finally showing some consistency in quality, which is great. I loved that Ragyo's costume held her head up so that she's literally looking down on others.
Guts face is amazing. He looks so serious yet so goofy at the same time.
And like everyone saw coming a mile away Satsuki betrayed her mother but who would have thought it would happen is such a sudden and gruesome manner.

theyll lose and Ryuko will once and for all put Nui in her place
Episode 17
It's been a long time coming, but that was really satisfying to see.
I like these last few episodes. Now that they've finally got all the mysteries out in the open, the plot feels unified again. It's much better not to have time wasted teasing things for ages. If the show stays like this, I'll be really happy.
I don't think I commented on it before, but the new OP is really great, as little animation as they used.

Fuck me, that was amazing.
I knew it was coming but damn the execution (no pun intended) was great.
I love that one shot with Ragyo talking to Ryuko with Satsuki and the Elite 4 in the background with glowing eyes. That was boss.
FUUCCKKKK. That was great.
The ending theme right after what just happened does not fit at all lol. I laughed out loud when it came on.

I'm expecting Gamagoori> Nonon> Inumuta> Yamcha is the order they lose in
Gamagoori goes first. He's the biggest and slowest of the four also even if he can take a few hits, I'm sure Nui can hit harder.
Nonon goes next because she gets too cocky/underestimates Nui/both
Inumuta is next to go. From a story standpoint he hasn't had enough screentime with his uniform so this would be the way to do it. It would also set up the 1v1 between Yamcha and Nui. In-universe, I could see him playing as a strategist for the fight but losing once the dust has settled; out of Nui, Yamcha and himself he's the weakest out of them.
Yamcha goes last so their rematch gets more time. Yamcha will most likely lose, if he does win I'm expecting Nui will pull out something like a second form. I just don't feasibly see Yamcha outright beating Nui when Ryuuko hasn't.
