Man, you're right. That's amusing. Both disruptors that appear early on and end up catalysing the strengthening of the protagonists relationship.
And potentially come back later to help out.

This guy is like the entirety of Gurren Lagann's supporting cast in a single character.
she is the third kamui.
Viral is Uzu from the Elite Four. :V
Death Billiards is a short from Anime Mirai, the same government training project for young animators that produced Little Witch Academia. It's a cool anime. Definitely worth a watch.
The only reason I have trouble buying into any crazy "Mako is secretly super-powerful" theories is that none of it seems to make sense with her family the way it is.
Too adorable.
I'll have to check it out.
The family is so weird, either the all play the game or maybe they are like Makos Subordinates. Just imagine Mako and family suddenly acting professional and being like disciplined and badass soldiers.

Oh holy moly didn't know about those facts :O
Also adding the 7th episode was the one where in Gurren Lagann all the people said holy shit in a big way, so this people seem to love making 7th episodes a big special thing in the series they make.
I'd imagine Mako getting pummeled and surviving without the least concern for her safety will simply be a running gag for the sake of a running gag.
On that note, I really liked this episode. The addition of anti clothes/Kamui technology along with a competent user are a nice addition to the series.

Ryuko is one of the most likable, cool main protagonists in some time.
Mako is one of the most likable, funny supporting characters in some time.
I've been waiting for the Music Club leader (Nonon) to get thrown into the mix. I immediately recognized her voice in the first episode as Haruko from FLCL so I've been super hyped for her proper introduction ever since.
I love everything that's happening in this show.

I really hope Ryuko's comment on Mako

"getting herself killed one day" doesn't end with her actually dying. That'd be horrible. Especially because it's aping a bit much from Gurren to copy it's format, no matter how fantastic it is.
And I'd miss Mako way more than Kamina tbh :\

If anyone dies, it'd be Ryuko, to make way for MAKO LA MAKO.
I actually think it'd be an interesting inversion. You don't usually expect the innocent, lovable comedy relief to get killed. Especially when she's constantly getting beat on anyway.
I would be okay with this.

In any case, I'd finally identify with all the people who loved Kamina and got really upset. Not to mention it'd definitely probably come with a noticeable tonal shift afterwards, since these early episodes are full with her and her family.
E:
Actually thinking more about it, it'd be a part of a bigger picture change in the show's pace and tone. A lot like Gurren... huh.

Does Mako define Ryuko, at least at the extent Kamina defined Simon? I would be utterly crushed if something like that happens to Mako.
I don't think it'll be a case of Mako taking over the show with Ryuko dying. TTGL in retrospect clearly was setting up Simon as the protagonist with all his character struggle and stuff.
aghh i just don't want anyone to die ;_;

Not in the same way, but she kinda does. She's Ryuko's only friend after all (not counting Senketsu), and it seems like Ryuko's generally a lot friendlier and open when she's around Mako.

IDK it would be sort of wack to kill her off. A better (more traumatic) option would be for her and her family to switch sides to get all that nice stuff they never had before by living on the 1-3 star side of town. Its clear money is an issue from episode one so it wouldn't be a surprise. that would leave ryuko with basically no one she could trust

I hope they don't die, im loving Ryuko and Mako as characters, and maybe killing one of the two will be two similar to the impact they created in Gurren Lagann and they want to do the same impact in another way without killing anyone so it doesnt feel a total copy.
Oh, thought was episode 7.
EDIT
Oh it was 8, damn, you are right. Move along people, nothing to see here.

If you haven't watched Gurren go do it! Right now! You can even actually buy the first fourth of the series for $7-$13!
I should've mentioned I was talking about it in here, my bad
I really hope we get an episode like *that* super soon. *That* episode was my favorite in Gurren Lagann. THOSE FEELS!
I'm puzzled about that because it's not like what happened is something that few people know or that isn't talked about.
Also, here are a few problems with how these theories are flying:
Satsuki didn't know about Ryuko before she showed up, the idea of Mako being a spy depends on she either having been playing that role before knowing Ryuko (so she can change of sides) or accepting it after she met Ryuko (and it goes against her character to simply do that, since they bonded when they first met, at least under her perception). So, she could be a spy from someone else, but if it's not Satsuki, who would it be?

How many episodes is this show going to have?
I hope you are prepared to see Tsumugu nerfed. Nothing personal, just anime tropes.
I believe it's 26.
26, apparently.
Why are we spoiler tagging speculation about KLK? I see no reason for Mako to die. Ryuko has nothing to learn from that. I do think that we don't know everything about Mako's intentions. While she will probably be eternally goofy, she showed this episode a more somber side when she "attacked" Kinagase. I think we'll see shit get real with her soon. Maybe Mako is with Ryuko as that one last school's hope to gain a powerful ally.
That he could block Ryuko's strike was a bit weird to be honest. In episode 3 half the school exploded after each strike
I actually got around to watching Gurren Lagann about a year ago so yeah. I don't see how because it's x amount of years old, somehow makes spoilers totes okay. Although as long as people keep the Gurren under a spoiler tag, it shouldn't be too big of an issue.
It's probably linked to the mental state of the user like the robots in Gurren-Lagann; she was passionate and really into it while fighting Satsuki.
