Ooooh! That's a good point. I should've thought of that.

An apt comparison, especially considering nui is basically
Solidus. I mean shes got an eyepatch, and was their not-sister sister.

Music that plays when ryuuko rides off is amazing

Yeah, after today, it's like.. I don't want to see her die anymore. It just has to happen, that's all. Like, it's business. Nui eventually has to die, whatever. I wish she'd just go away because she's just getting annoying at this point. And not in a Joffrey "I love to hate you" way. Just... look, can you die so we can move on please? Thanks.
And I don't hate Ryuuko, btw, but at this point she feels like a pretty useless protagonist. She's a plot device. She used to have an actual cause in the 2nd half, mainly that "fibers and people should live together," but they haven't used that at all after ep 18 and her character's kinda fallen apart. It sucks that she's getting taking advantage of, but Ragyo takes advantage of everyone, and Satsuki endured years of rape with her will only having grown stronger. Ryuuko gets mind-raped once and she's totally off the tracks. I kinda hope she stays there, in a sadly vindictive sort of way, and that her fall from grace becomes another reason for Satsuki to kill Ragyo and company. It sucks I have to root for FemHitler, but she's a better character at this point and Ragyo is a worse person than her, so I'm cool with it.

Oh my god
The ending is so hype..
Show has hit it's stride perfectly

It's for that reason alone I hope Ryuuko stays where she is, and ends the story dying as a villain or dying as a hero at the very last second to take out REVOCS. As she's dying, she puts the scissors back together and decapitates Ragyou with Satsuki. Then she dies. It makes sense, and in that way is appropriately tragic. She's too flawed to keep up.
I noticed that too. It seems like this episode could be summed up with MGS pictures, we even got a salute this episode lol

Oh no. Oh no no no no no.
I always saw it that when she attained perfect sync with Senketsu, that's when that shit went down and she got the life fiber powers. And that's why Satsuki is still "pure", so to speak. She never did fully wear Junketsu, so she's completely human. And bad ass.
They could make up something like
her powers weren't awakened until she wore Senketsu or something
Yeah I guess that's probably their out for that.
Oh you mean the Dai-Gurren?
They'll go back to being useless when the show's over. It's hard to stow people away at this point unless they zap Satsuki Ryuuko and Ragyo into a pocket universe to duke it out.

I'd act like ryuuko too if I found out I was an alien monster. Loosing her way feel justified but lessen cuz they did it 3 other times. Teenager trying to find her identity
Oh I don't know, Tsumugu has already become completely useless in recent episodes alongside becoming completely irrelevant to the show.
Nui: I've had it with your inspirational nonsense, you insect. Time to die.
Gamagoori: No, this is the part where I die.
Mako: Nooo!
Satsuki/Ryuuko: You BITCH!

Oh, Satsuki's cool. Just keep Ryuko away.
Poor Tsumugu. He gets a sweet new mech and everything, and all he can do is job.
The others seem to have already answered your question but I just wanted to say, Ryuuko isn't exactly the brightest bulb. Her first reaction to Tsumugu was to ask if he was a student even though he neither looks the age nor was he wearing anything that even looked like a uniform.
It doesn't help that she might have spent most of her schooling life beating up people either.

Man...how much is Ryuko going to lose her way when she realizes that
As we saw in the Fight Club episode....Mako is somehow the brains of that operation. That says a lot.
Stupid Sexy Sensei is her dad. Oh and he's totally life fiber fused, because, you know, he survived the huge scissor wound. He's still playing coy and saying shit like "If only I had noticed the truth about Ryuko blah blah blah" but come the fuck on.

Like what? How do you transform Ryuuko into a real hero at this point? She's already done a bunch of heroic things on the surface, but none of them ultimately meant anything. Basically the only thing left in the playbook is virtuous suicide. They could not do it and have her pull through, but it'd be TOTALLY dependent on the execution of said return-to-form being out of this world, and Trigger could risk so much unbelievable character development all in one go that they might cheapen everyone else.

One thing you guys havent pointed out yet
you guys are so desensitized to it(probably the show's objective funnily enough) that you dont pay attention to the outfits anymore lol
that ryuuko is wearing more clothes when she put junketsu on, this is probably because they arent as synced as ryuko and senketsu are, this is probably going to happen with satsuki aswell
I noticed that
Evil Ryuukolooks more like a Delinquent with that excessively long skirt than she ever did with Senketsu
Seriously though, that is kind of interesting. Yeah I didn't notice that it might be because
they're not actually well synchronised.

I don't really like that idea to be honest. The main reason I can sort of give Ryuko some slack is that most of the playmakers or people in the know are dicks, like Satsuki and Aikuro. They had the resources all this time and could have acclimated her into the situation. Even in episode 20, they barely do shit when she is leaving, when she is one of their greatest assets at that point. Sure they are powerless to stop her but it's actually their fault for building such crappy rapport with in the first place. If Sexy Sensei was the dad, that would just make it seem all the previous interactions pretty dumb in hindsight since he pretty much knew it all.
Music was godly as always. 
Ah ha. I thought this too. They're going to destroy the SS Naked Sun. ;_;

guys, i want to bring up an important mishap that happened in this series:
Mako said ryuko has bigger breasts than Satsuki. But clearly these past 6 episodes have shown that to be a complete and total farce.
Senketsu is padded!
I think Mako was just being nice. Satsuki has, like, superhero boobs.
The lesson here is that anime fans hate teenagers
Teenagers are awful. Everyone hates teenagers.

teenage is so complicated
I blame Evangelion.
At this point, they can still bring her back into the role, but what does it accomplish anymore? Does killing Ragyo really require someone fully in sync with life fibers anyway? Far as I can tell, you just need the scissors, so that means taking it from Nui. Just disable her, you don't need to find a way to kill her. Then you have the scissors.
