Fucking wow, Trigger.

NeoSoma was right. The only ones who hate Ryuko more than the fanbase seems to be Trigger themselves.

This episode and the ending feels like the ultimate vindication for the people saying Ryuko is the one holding back the plot. She's a complete joke.

Glory to Satsuki.

 

[Guess Who]

Satsooki once again confirmed for best girl

 

[human onion]

WOP YOUR WADS ON THE COUNTER, ITS TAKARADA.

He is a better leader than Satsuki anyway. It's finally time for her and Ryuko to settle the score, afterwards they will finally fight together.

Ryuko just keeps losing that way spectacularly. Great.

 

[Inversive]

Team Satsuki for life. Can't wait for the transformation!!

 

[TheOGB]

Yeah, Ryuko stay losin in this one. But, well, it may be worth it in the end.

Spoiler

Because Satsuki is pretty damn awesome right now. Went straight up X-23 on their asses. And I gotta thank her for stopping Ryuko from killing my boy Kinagase.

I saw the Nui thing coming, but it was nice for that 5 seconds to see her get messed up. That brainwashing was fucked up though. Fuck Ragyo.

oh god dammit

Episode 20

What's the point of developing Ryuuko's character over the last...well 19 episodes if you're just going to take it away like that. Hell, now looking back, she's barely developed at all. She's like a switch, constantly switching between angry and unnecessary angst.

Feels like Satsuki's the actual protagonist of this show.

Also,

Spoiler

How come Nui's eye didn't regenerate if she's made of lifefibers? Some people are saying that it's because Isshin cut her eye with both parts of the scissors, but going back to that episode shows he only cut her with one part of the scissor.

Hope that is explained in the upcoming episodes, because if not, that's one MAJOR oversight on Trigger's behalf.

Episode 20 Impressions, SPOILER WARNING

Spoiler

This was an enjoyable episode. Low points of the episode most definitely had to be Ryuuko's bits. Nui honestly should have died two episodes ago and Ryuuko losing her way yet again was lame as hell. I think shook my head and laughed a little at the bike bit. Shadow the Hedgehog, anyone?

And Tsumugu must be trying to contend with Sanageyama and Houmaru for the show's biggest jobber. Poor guy has just slowly been fading into irrelevance since episode 12. At least Satsuki and Elite 4 Shenanigans were good.

Takarada cameo/sendoff was good, now all I need is a Maiko sendoff and all will be good in the world.

I've been anticipating it since that episode aired. I don't think it is just coincidence.

Kill la Kill Episode 20:

Spoiler

I notice in the opening that everybody has their Nudist Beach variants now. Also, nifty little call back to episode 4 and the tram system, I liked that. Anyway, yes it is finally time for Ryuuko to embrace her destiny as Shadow the Hedgehog.Now she is the Scion of Life Fibers and now Satsuki is our heroine, I suppose. Also nice to see Loadsofzeni back for a cameo. Anyway, this all fells kind of odd but I look forward to next episode and maybe Ryuko will stop fucking angsting, I can hope, I dearly hope.

Spoiler

Isshin stabs Nui's eye with a Scissor Blade causing visible damage and crippling Nui's eye permanently

Ryuko slices Nui's innards with the Scissor Blade and she heals no problem

So is there any reason why the Scissor Blades seem to be depicted as the only things said to cut life fibers but Nui just completely ignores the bigger damage? Did the series just create itself a convenient plot hole or is Nui just fucking with everyone for pointless reasons.

perhaps nui didn't have implanted life fibres at that time in the past

 

[Soma]

I told myself I wouldn't do it but... this episode was good enough to warrant it.

Back to the Satsuki avatar rotation.

(At least til the show is over)

 

[kewlmyc]

Spoiler

She was born from life fibers. They're not implants.

she's not even a trope

she's nothing

She isn't nothing, if she were that we could ignore her.

Clearly it's Ryuko's fault.

 

[Scum]

I can't wait until they make a game out of this. It might be a worse Metal Gear Rising than Metal Gear Rising, but it'll sure as hell be a better Shadow the Hedgehog than Shadow the Hedgehog!

Kill la Kill character action game where you play as Ryouko and Satsuki. Made by Platinum Games. *drools*

Bayonetta 2 DLC. Replace Bayonetta with Ryouko, Satsuki with Jeanne. Senketsu & Junketsu outfits.

 

[mightynine]

Spoiler

Spoiler

Perhaps one half of the blade was stronger than the other. Nui did leave with that half, so it's possible the other half, which Ryuko has, doesn't do the trick on Nui.

Or it's a massive plot hole big enough to drive a Doutonbori Robo through.

Spoiler

It's hard to say. I want to say it's a Plot Hole mainly because I don't like Trigger's writers and because when she was introduced a lot of Nui's interest seemed to stem from the fact that, yes Isshin got the better of her and removed her eye (IIRC she did NOT know about Senketsu being worked on until after the encounter).

But then again it's kind of hard to tell with Nui, we don't really have much insight into her character or her thought process. Personally I'd just chalk it up to a Plot Hole. I don't think Trigger's writers have shown that they're good enough for this to be anything other than unintentional.

Team Satsuki once, Team Satsuki now, Team Satsuki forever.

Team Hometown won this battle guys, sorry. Satsuki is the best.

Ryuko is great. I'm sad that people can't see the depth in her characterization - the montage that accompanies her forced robing is a fitting thematic conclusion.

Did Ragyo basically brainwash her by offering the images of everything she never had?

Also, Satsuki waifu status confirmed.

The last thing this show needs is more Satsuki fellation.

this. I actually haven't been talking about the show recently because the MC hate and perfect Satsuki hype are wearing me down. Still looking forward to the rest of the show.
