I'll start us off with quality discussion:
How hard do you think Walker is gonna get BTFO this week?OP sucks cocks, etc.
Reminder : Assholes tend to get their comeuppance in Fafner
So it's not unrealistic to be ready for Dustin's team to get blown the fuck out

>How hard do you think Walker is gonna get BTFO this week?
Kouyo's Special.
OP you suck, you forgot to add Maya's birthday to the post.

>>13491777
That they do! Look at that douchebag assimilation junkie.
>>13491777
So, when is Hester's comeuppance coming up?
>>13491795
Now, Anonymous, Hester's death needed time to age like the fine wine she's drinking.
In the original series she was just kindy of bitchy lady in charge of the Nuns. Sure they tried to bomb the island midway in the series but that was more the Captain's call than her direct order.
Now with the shit she's pulled in HaE and Exodus, her eventual BLOWN THE FUCK OUT will be even sweeter.
>>13491808
Never. The whole show is going to end with her laughing during the credits.
>>13491766
This festum sure isn't weighed down by gravity.
>>13491819
The worst thing is that this could totally happen. We would be mourning our fallen heroes, and in the last scene Hester comes up and says something like "I was right." while an auditorium breaks in a thunderous applause.
>>13491830
Hester actually becomes "Villains who were right"
>>13491808
Hester did literally nothing wrong. Some sacrifices had to be made so future generations could live in peace.
Fuck selfish islanders caring only about themselves instead of joining with the rest of the human race in taking back their planet. At the very least they could have shared their technology.
"Protecting the culture of peace"
Talk about self serving bullshit.
>>13491912
You didn't have to come here by yourself, madam.
>>13491836
How much rage will /faf/ have if this actually happens at the end?

You know, it's funny thinking about how the Fafner people are doing in Super Robot Wars K and UX come Exodus and such.
They're likely not even having a 1/10th of the trouble as their non-srw counterparts.

Apparently episode 19 was the most liked amime episode in niconico's history, with 98.9% of voters giving it the highest rating.
I think it might have been Exodus 9 that previously held the record.
>>13492087
Whoa.
>>13492087
The hype is real
>>13492087
This makes me happy.
>>13492087

>>13491935
He also started assimilating the Diablo-type through the Nicht crotch. No wonder it yanked its arm back quickly.
>>13492087
Makes me pretty happy that at least the nips are at least acknowledging it.
How does "highest rating" work anyway? Since technically something with a low amount of viewers could potentially get a high rating if it just had a small dedicated fanbase.
>>13492156
It involves a lot of ballot stuffing I can assure you of that.
Never trust NND polls. Never trust any online poll, really l.

If, hypothetically, Akira had died and Hiroto had survived, would Hiroto still be able to talk about peace between humans as well as before?
>>13492397
Hiroto would get angry but he'd become even more motivated to try and bring about peace.
He'd end up being reborn as Jesus Goumato in the Mark StreikFreiheit V

I never really noticed it before, but is the Mark Zehn carrying two Raven Swords on its shoulder pauldrons? He never really uses them though.
>>13492463

>>13492491
I wonder how he'd fare as a more up-close fighter. Being long-range always felt like just a way to be like Maya, instead of suiting his personality.

Yep, he's had em for a while, at least since ep 9
Akira CQC is inevitable.
>>13492500

>>13492500
>Leg worm holed in HaE
>Arm surprise stabbed by cloaked Sphinx
>Rushing a bunch of NUNS on an elevated position
>Smacked around by Dustin
He simply lacks awareness of the surrounding to go CQC.
>>13492510
Don't forget getting grappled by a waterborne Festum.
I mean, maybe he'd be good like Shoko was. He even tried it ;_;
The Nishio's just aren't very good pilots. Hell Gen 2 outside of Seri are probably the worst other than Human Koyo.
In his defense, he wasn't rushing the NUNs, he was chasing Heinz. The point about lacking awareness is still more or less the same I guess.
>>13492573
I think Koyo's problem was more about being stupidly aggressive than it was about actual skill.
>>13492750
Perhaps, both he and Sakura fought really poorly initially. Sakura was at least willing to into teamwork despite how much of a hothead she was. Koyo was just a faget.
I'm glad he gets to live out the rest of his existence as a Slave with a stammer.

Threadly reminder
>>13492491
I can't remember well, but Akira ditched the flying parts in Exodus, right?
>>13493040
The Zehn was never flight-capable. It always used the same base frame as the Vier, Acht, and Neun - the big, bulky heavy weapons platform.
>>13493040
Thing couldn't fly, the thing at its back is something like a bipod.
So, can we expect a Nothung vs NUNthung fight?
>>13493236
I always thought the NUNs had a nothung model for a long time now. Kazuki took Mark Elf on a spin with Bitch-sensei and los- I mean traded it with the NUNs for a Salvator model.
>>13493390
Didn't it melt along with the whole NUN base?I seriously need to re-watch DA.

Akira will probably combust internally seeing that.

Joy! Because it'd mean he's deader than dead. The curse of Funf would claim him.
>>13493557
He would be so dead that it would make me happy, and seeing Akira's rage about it would be so amusing. It's a win-win situation.

>>13493395
We don't know, it wasn't shown. But most likely The NUN's still has it/ has data on it. The NUN Fafner's in Exodus got massively upgraded with cores too shown in episode 1, and the Makabe Factor from Kazuki used to pilot them was most likely taken from the time Kazuki was held prisoner too, they did some test on him then.
>>13493557
Seems like the island is meeting back up with them if the title is anything to go by. How much of a kick in the nuts would it be if the island Fafners met up with the Dustin Funf first and mistook him for Hiroto?
>>13493390
Mark Elf's core got used in the Sein, and I believe the rest of the machine was destroyed along with the base.

I really hope that's the case, because as much as I like the Perseus guys, the whole Srinagar arc is kinda tiring.

You people do remember that the Fünf was disassembled, yeah? There's also no real need for them to use the Nothung models anymore. I mean there isn't a single thing the Nothung models are capable of doing that a NUN model can't. They already have their own Aegis technology before they collected Fünf too.

This one? Admittedly unusually difficult to find from the nets, took me a while when I looked for it.
>>13494845
Do you have the other character songs too? I've been looking for Kazuki's character single.
>>13495120
The character songs from DA (Maya and Soushi's too) are included in the Complete Best album. Honestly I think they sound a bit awkward, they must have used more autotune for their Exodus duet.
http://hikarinoakariost.info/soukyuu-no-fafner-complete-best-album/
>>13495162
I should have specified that I meant the Exodus character singles.
>>13495120
Do you have Soushi and Maya's?
>>13494845
Now I want Kazuki and Soushi to sing it in the show. It's so unnaturally happy it would be amazing to see it there.
>>13495120
Unfortunately, don't have them. Haven't seen them around either.
Here's hoping they make a complete collection for Exodus after it ends and include all those.
Anyone else find how Sui and his parents problems were resolved to be kind of weak?
Or the 3rd gen pilots altogether to be kind of weak characters in general?
>>13495354
I feel like Reo could use a little more focus, but otherwise no, I like them plenty.
Already feels like we know more about them than Akira.
>>13495354
Not... Really? They're deliberately the new meat, seeing this from the front lines for the first time. Also, Sui's mom clearly had the problem that no one had ever called her out for her behavior even once because Japanese Mentality.
>>13495354
I don't think they're weak. We just haven't seen very much of them.
Not to mention between the new crop of Gen 3 and the NUNkids, one group has 2 characters related to antagonists, so they seem a lot more interesting, as well as the most qt living pilot in the show, the other has...3 kids who have cool piloting gimmicks and bad taste in mech names, but comparatively less screen time than say Gen 1 got.
I mean it took about 20 episodes for Sakura and Kenji to hit their stride as characters in DA.
As far as Gen 3 goes, they're good characters in someone else's show.
The resolution with Sui's mom was influenced by Canon's future fight. It was different since it wasn't character driven, but I wouldn't call it weak.
>>13495354
Nah, I think it was handled well enough. What I do want is for Reo and Mimika finally getting some focus. Especially Reo who's honestly really boring.
>>13495390
I think I'd like to add that Gen 3 is their to help with the veracity of the world. I mean sure, the existing pilots could've just been buffed to make 3 new pilots unnecessary, but Fafner has a pretty strong motif of teamwork, and having more parts to use on the team helps a lot.
>>13495401
Reo gets even less focus so his death will hit harder. Mamoru got very little screen time, but I think his death was probably the most fucked in DA.
>>13495354
Like the NUNs pilots they just don't get enough screen time. This is one reason (in addition to the Einherjar Models) why I feel like they're in the show to set up for possible future seasons without most of the original cast. I could easily see the surviving Gen 3 and NUNs becoming the leads in some future Fafner project. Lead by a grizzled PTSD afflicted Maya of course.
>>13495390
>the most qt living pilot in the show
?
>>13495428
Pfft
>>13495415
>Reo gets even less focus so his death will hit harder.
I know it won't hit me at all. I can't care about a character I barely know anything about.

in gen 3 anoni totally wasnt trying to bait mimikafags or anything
I wont argue with you on aishwarya
the NUNs have better fafners too
>>13495390
I see a decent amount of love for the NUN kid trio, unless it's all just a couple people, but even in comparison I don't really get it.
I do like Billy, especially with recent episodes he feels like the most genuine of the bunch. But overall we still don't know them very well, even being Mitsuhiro's son Johnathan feels like slightly wasted potential, there must be something big in store for him.
And vaguely related to those three, I wonder what the deal is with Narain too. He seems like a nice enough guy, but we have no idea why he has a Festum body like Soushi, or really anything else bout him.
Exodus can't be the end. They gotta give us another movie or if we're really lucky S3.
>>13495390
I think it's also how most of Gen 3 are almost completely unrelated to the existing cast. Sui has his crush on Rina, who was somewhat relevant in his subplot with his parents.
Reo and Mimika don't really have any direct connection and are only relevant to each other's subplots, which are only based off their worsening SDP conditions. And that's just a boring. At least with other characters, they go through suffering because of the death of others, like Kenji with Mamoru and his mom, Sakura with her dad, the Nishios with their parents, etc.
>>13495511
As much as I hate to see it end, I really don't want them to run a good thing into the ground. I hope we get a movie and then the series is done for good.
>>13495474
>spoiler:3
>NUNs have better fafners too
Damn right. Although that alabaster Flight Nothung is still fucking perfect.
I'm a little meh on Billy's Ariel, and the Powers line as a whole though.
>>13495478
>we have no idea why he has a Festum body like Soushi
Actually we do. He tells Soushi in episode 11 or 12 about conducting experiments to promote communication with Mir.
>NUNRA flashbacknever
>>13495529
I sorta feel the same becausewe might not be alive in five years and wouldn't get to see it.
Although, I really would not mind a short OVA series following some grunts in between H&E and Exodus.
>>13495528
I also dont feel like S3 would be appropriate at this point. But I would kill for a 3h movie finale.
So do you think the last 7 episodes will be a bloodbath or relatively death free?
>>13495324
There is supposed to be a character song album coming out next moth for Exodus. I can't find any info yet on the track listing or if it will include the Kazuki/Soushi/Maya songs that have been released already.
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/KICA-3258
Sui's stuff was resolved because it was just family problems that required the family actually communicating rather than just feeding into the mothers emotional distress.
Reo and Mimika are just new characters going through the motions of learning to love while fighting in a robot. It doesn't make sense that they'd have been hanging out with the 1st and 2nd gen because they'd have been around fucking 10 at the time. Most other 1st gen pilots got even less focus than those 3 until we hit episode 17. They were just there and sortie'd once.
You care about the 1st Gens more because you've already been through a complete story with them, and to the lesser extent the 2nd Gens. Once Exodus is over your complaints about the 3rd Gen will probably be gone to since their stuff is still going on.
People can be so impatient. This is a story that builds characters over time. I mean, if you remove the 3rd Gen pilots what do we get out of Island episodes after episode 8? We get Rina (vegetable), Seri (Orihime Time), Kenji and Sakura's romance and the Adults and while those are all enjoyable the 3rd Gens give a bit more LIFE to the island setting. I mean fuck, if you look at how much screentime Canon actually had in this series you realize the majority of it ended up in her 2 last episodes.
>>13495592
Aside from Kazuki and Soushi, I think we have at least maybe a few more pilot deaths incoming. I can see either Mimika or Reo dying to develop the other, and potentially Seri too, since no Zwolf in OP. Walter is dead for sure, and probably Jonathan as well.
>>13495592
>Chocolat is a pun on Shoko
No matter how cool Koyobot is, Koyo will never not be gutter trash.
As to your question.
Billy, Reo, Walter, and Rina are toast.

I know there's the whole thing about limiters being removed, but are Salvator models actually this strong, or are the Nicht and Sein special because of all the Festum-related shit they've gone through? If they recovered the tech to create these, would it naturally be this strong immediately?
>>13495652
Both.
The Salvator Models were high spec/high burn models. Basically miniature Zero Models with all the fire power that entailed.
Then each of them had Festum shit done to them and that had the effect of either Squaring or Cubing their powers.
That's why the hype is real for when the Zero Model gets deployed. Because it's going to be running off TWO SDPs along with it's already crazy output.
>>13495454
You will care, they will make you care. That's how Fafner rolls.
A character doesn't need to be "known" to have an emotional effect when they die. How they execute their dead is what drives the emotional punch, and that is something that the people behind Fafner had mastered.
>>13495652
Sein and Nicht had their limiters on in DA and H&E. In Exodus they removed the limiters, letting the Salvator models unleash their true strength.
The whole assimilation fuckery Sein did with Nicht most likely attributed to it too. H&E Nicht looks quite different compared to its original DA design.
>>13495672
>Two SDPs
OH GOD I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT
>>13495720
You're a bit slow Anonymous.
Also one of them is CRANK UP THE JUICE from Rina. so as long as Akira gets a decent one and not a dud we'll be in for some serious
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9wEosOu0yo
>>13495652
>If they recovered the tech to create these
You need some Master type Festum as part of the ingredient.
Or you can ask any of the roaming Azazels/non hostile Mir if they would like to get in the robot.
>>13495734
>Akira
>not a dud
>>13495652
Nicht might be a little more powerful cause of the whole Idun thing.
Otherwise yeah.
Remember Fafners are just mechanical Festum. Like a resonance chamber. The more energy goes in (from the Festum battery/Core), the greater amplitude of the wave (manifested as Festum SDP. In your pic, it's a big Worm Sphere infused with Lightning. We've seen Worm Spheres that size before in DA's finale, and Belcross has been able to manipulate lightning)
With the Salvator models, Hino and Bartland took that concept and then (no doubt with help from Mjolnir) figured out a way to virtually remove any dampening effect that a normal resonance chamber might have. Once they removed the "limiters", Soushi and Kazuki are able to tap into that wealth of SDP power. The reason they're the only ones that can is because well, Soushi has a Festum body and the right mindset, and Kazuki because he's the MC/has the perfect state of mind needed to pilot it/willed the current iteration of Sein into being.
One other thing to point out.
Nicht has nommed Sein twice, and Sein has nommed Nicht once, which created some sorta connection between the two of them and probably helps to even further amplify, or at least make it easier for each mech to tap into their SDP pools.
There isn't a thing either of those mechs have done that a Festum hasn't done in some form or fashion. With the exception of the fangs and laser pods.
Replicating powers? done
Worm teleport? done
Regen? done
You get the idea
Look at H&E, a dinky lil Sphinx-type A manages to cover an island in Worm Spheres. It's the Salvators, not the pilots that derive the power.
That is unlike the islanders' because in those cases the SDP is linked to the pilot, but works best in their favored Fafner.
>>13495770
Maybe? Sein obviously did not completely assimilate Idun when they fought in DA 15, and there's nothing unique about one Festum type's physical composition to another. I can't dismiss it, but it's a bit too speculative in my opinion
>>13495770
>>13495812
Actually, wait. The Salvators were both built without any Master type ingredients at all. After all Sein was built before they fought.
Just wanted to say that Hiraiface is the worst.
Terrible fucking designs. The perpetual blush hatching on the cheeks. Like who thought this was a good idea.
>>13495839
Anonymous, you want one of the Gundam threads if you want attention
>>13495844
The joke
^^^^^^^^^
Your headOr do you really not realize that Hirai didn't do Madoka? Point I was trying to make is they look so similar yet, people rarely, not to say never, complain about Madoka's designs.

Just here to point out that Emery is cute as fuck and I hope she survives.
>>13495636
It's been a while since I've watched DA. Was it ever explained why Koyo was so in love with Shoko, and Shoko with Kazuki?
>>13495886EDGE WORKS
>>13495886
They're fucking teenagers.
>>13495879BOO
>>13495820
Master type and multiple assimilation needed for best results of course, there's only so much the common Nothung core can do.
Or they can build an Einherjar and get Miwa to ask Ashoka if it can crank it up, the Mir seems fond of her.
>>13495897
I can't fucking wait til we get more Einherjar action.
Speculation, but I'm not sure they could build an Einherjar and have it be as powerful without a D-Island spawned Core. The Nothung/Einherjar Cores are intrinsically linked to the Island Mir and I'm not sure sticking the Einherjar equipment on a non-island Core would have the same effects.
I suppose Ashoka could do something similar, supposing it was the progenitor of the Fafner in question's Core, but the island's Mir is pretty special, plus it has the guidance assistance of a Core-type.
>>13495886
Teenager crushes? The only one that's really in love of the kids is Maya. She's way beyond the "teenager crush" excuse.
>>13493845
Could be, it's about long enough for a final arc.
>>13495354
I still don't really understand what happened. Sui grabbed the picture of his sister to him, and it scared his parents? Then for some reason it helped them figure out the festum?
>>13495390
>as well as the most qt living pilot in the show
That's not Mimika.
>>13495478
>even being Mitsuhiro's son Johnathan feels like slightly wasted potential, there must be something big in store for him.
I was expecting him to put on the mask and become Rey Burrel.
>>13496319
The charm and photo just helped his mom come to terms with the fact that her daughter is dead.
Figuring out the Festum was just because she was present to send out a lantern. Looking at the water after years of thinking about the L Plan made her realize that the island is displacing water despite being invisible, which would be noticeable from space.
How many NUN pilots are there?
Walter, Billy, Ai, Mitsuhiro, Dustin's team, and maybe Narain, any others?

This is true. I was surprised when I rewatched it and Sakura, Kenji, Koyo etc. were basically literally who for most the show.
>>13495734
Akira has buffed Crossing.
>>13496319
Sui tried to pull his sister back.
All he managed to get was an old picture she took with her that by some miracle survived the sinking of the ship
Dad finds it and then shows it to the Mom who has a breakdown because what Sui and Rina have been banging into her head finally gets through that her daughter was truly gone and that there was no way what she really wanted was for her mom and dad to die.
Her main issue was that her husband had been feeding into her survivors guilt for 4+ years and Sui was a fucking 10 year old who couldn't say shit until he really started piloting.
I mean, it's a small thing but Rina DID reinforce that he should fight to survive, not just fight out of a sense of duty and be ready to sacrifice himself the moment things get hasty.
It's his character arc.
His first sortie he does what he thinks is best but makes sure that a part of the island is ready to blow if he fails.
His second sortie he disregards Kenji's orders because he thinks he knows better and doesn't respect Kenji. He gets blown the fuck out until his SDP activates when he wants to be able to fight.
He then gets NISHIO'D and starts building up the balls to talk back to his Mom about her being unreasonable.
His most aggressive outbursts are probably the influence of Rina. Her being more vocal and emotional is what she's rubbed off on him since he'd basically just bottle everything up before.
I'm not going to be surprised if he asks Rina on a date soon.
>>13495704
Pre-H&E Nicht is a practically completely different design.
>>13495949
>more Einherjar action.
Next episode probably? Since they're right in the middle of a boss battle.
>>13495812
>Nicht has nommed Sein twice, and Sein has nommed Nicht once, which created some sorta connection between the two of them and probably helps to even further amplify, or at least make it easier for each mech to tap into their SDP pools.
I love when mechs are bros with each other.
>>13495839
>hating wideface
So I just started watching Fafner about 2 weeks ago, I'm all caught up and holy shit, Season 1 was good but Exodus is fucking amazing (episode 17 in particular was my favorite of any show I've seen in a long time).
Did I miss Kenji's power or have they not shown it off yet?
>>13495949
I just realized, what exactly does Einherjar Zwolf do? The rest have reasonable applications for their Accelerator, Drei can make a bigger Trooper Army, Neun makes bigger blasts, Tsukukyomi has bigger barriers etc. Zwolf though only has regeneration which is only applicable to itself.
>>13496419
Better headbutts.
Speaking of, which episodes have Seri fighting?
>>13496419
Probably bigger headbutt, remember how the first time her SDP activates she vaporised the new Sphinx with the horn.
>>13496418
>Did I miss Kenji's power or have they not shown it off yet?
Hasn't been shown, yeah.
But Acht's accelerator opened up right before everything went crazy in 19, so people have been theorizing it might be related.
Seri actually has worm spheres guys. It's part of the assimilation power.
She uses it on the Sphinx B she fights.
Her accelerator probably lets her make more/do what Soushi can do.
![Acht [Einherjar] Activation slo mo.webm](https://i.imgur.com/sy8A5gS.jpg "Acht [Einherjar] Activation slo mo.webm")
>>13496418
Speculah is that it might be to interact with the Gordian crystals/Mir.
We really don't know for certain.
>>13496419
> regeneration which is only applicable to itself.
Maybe Seri will become a healslut.
>>13496341
Alive, or just named?
Cause named puts us close to 20.
>>13496340
>which would be noticeable from space.
Close. But specifically in the immediate case its because the sentient Pacific ocean can tell where the parts of it are moving.
Smaug
>>13496445
Episode 2, 5, 7, 13, and little bits in between. I think it was episode 11 that she and Reo have a cool teamup.
>>13496455
This is more likely
>>13496459
>>13496340
Shit, forgot to finish my sentence.
Smaug noticing the scramjets wouldn't have anything to do with the island.
Remember Kanae touches the ocean and say "the tide!!!"
>>13496419
I think Seri is capable of using green crystal magic to assimilate the enemy like Sein can but she hasn't done it yet.
>>13496459
>>13496464
Oh, damn, you're right. I didn't really think of the full implications of the ocean Mir after 19.
That's terrifying.
>>13496469
>She hasn't done it yet
Rewatch the first SDP episode.
Green Worm Spheres are produced by Fafner SDPs.
Also Satellite, Bellcross, and Walker have all forms of movement covered
Satellite watches everything from above.
Walker observes everything in the sea.
Bellcross controls a storm to covrer his presence.
Roadrunner was the odd one out in being able to hide itself, but I think Roadrunner put all it's stat points into being able to make nuclear fire.
Which, while nice is not as good as the othersWhen Satellite is discovered I really really really hope it just makes a giant lens and starts going full http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qUNdNWtcTE&t=1m53s
>>13496469
Probably. That seems like the MC power, and Seri's basically the MC of the island half.
>>13496362
>I'm not going to be surprised if he asks Rina on a date soon.
He did that in like the first episode
>>13496485
Which one's Bellcross and Roadrunner? I know they beat Roadrunner in one of the episodes, but I forget what they look like.
>>13496489
No, he didn't. He beat around the bush and because Rina is dense she didn't get it and he backed down.
I mean he's going to go "GO ON A DATE WITH ME RINA"
Christ, use your critical thinking skills retard.
>>13496496
Relax son.
>>13496450
While he does open it, it never started spinning. I think it's safe to say he hasn't activated or gotten it yet.
>>13496492
Roadrunner looks like the retarded giraffe.
Belcross is the one that curbstomped An Hero and also ate Roadrunner. He also looks like Belcross.
>>13496485
>Green Worm Spheres are produced by Fafner SDPs.
Yeah, also in H&E Nicht does it to purge the Aurora from the sky.
That's not exclusive though, because Nicht uses the traditional colors so saying Fafner SDPs isn't quite accurate.
Also, your entire post was unnecessary because he was talking about Assimilation Crystals, not Worm Spheres.
Have a consolation Ai
It's going to be weird when we finally get Bellcross' actual name.
>>13496529
Gotta love how people always act as if Hirai is the one writing the stories with his character design.
>>13496535
wew
>>13496537
Eh, it's universal.
The elevens call him Bellcross too
>>13496529
Just a guess, but based on some clues in the show and his behavior, I bet it'll be something likeAYY LMAO
>>13496539
shit
>>13496537
>B.E.L.L.C.R.O.S.S.
?
>>13496537
What the fuck does Hirai have to do with this? We've been calling him Belcross for a long time. Hell, it probably has more to with the fact
a lot of people who worked on the design of HA work on Exodus as well.
They really do have similar design characteristics.
Tail, Sinew, Fangs, Spheres.
Hiraiface isn't one of them.
And furthermore, Tow wrote both series.
What the fuck was the point of your post? Nobody brought up a thing about Hirai.
Learn to pick your battles better senpai.

>>13496564
You stupid, son?
>>13496485
I was thinking that was an actual Worm Sphere that Seri used to destroy that Festum. I guess it could have been assimilation though. Her power-up will probably be a better version of whatever she did there.
>>13496599
No, it was a Worm Sphere.
Festum bowling when?
So, what Festum power could Akira get that would work well with the Zero Fafner? Invisbility doesn't seem like a very likely choice anymore. I would think he'd get something that would alleviate the Zero's weaknesses. Perhaps something that improves mobility? Levitation is a Festum power we haven't seen yet outside of Nicht.
>>13496643
Nicht can fly brah, it ain't levitation.
I think invisibility would be fucking dope though.
>Hmm where did it go?
SUDDENLY
>35 Meter Arm in your face
>>13496643
I STILL think the Hiroto vision is related to his power.
>>13496648
I didn't think of that. Mind reading/hivemind connection is a Festum power. It would be rad to see Akira summon the spirits of all the dead characters to power up the Zero Fafner.
>>13496659
Rina also talks to Hiroto from the dead. This works well for the Zerofag, since it could mean Zero is a spooky mech/
>>13496667
Zero has always been spooky it scared a shit ton of Arcadians away, and even made Misuhiro look at an alternative design.How'd you know I liked spooky too?

I just want her to be safe ;_;
Just finish rewatching everything, I just noticed how much Fafner likes to shit on the Gen 2 kids, none of them could do anything right. All the way into Exodus and Sakura was still telling them to cover each other (which I suppose Akira and Hiroto managed to do abit), but for the Gen 3 kid's first appearance they already noted how they are properly protecting each other and keeping formation while singled handedly doing more cool stuff than the Gen 2 kids in the entire season. Why does the writers hate the Gen 2 kids so?
>>13496775
It makes them more likeable for us (since we complain about them not getting enough love) so it hurts us harder when they kill them.
>>13496775
In their defense, that Festum was complete bullshit for just a "Sphinx-type"
Even with a veteran ace and three elite NUN pilots it still took an excessive amount of effort to take it down.
>>13496787
Which?
>>13496795
The one in episode 2.
It's the same fight Sakura is bitching about Gen 2 not covering each other.
She also gets a little persnickety about the Gen 3rders on their first sortie too.
I think it's because Sakurais like a mother to them.
>It's a "Miwa gets scared" episode;_;

Hirai hatching is the best. It's 90's as fuck and I love it.
It's unfortunate that the hatching is less prominent in the H&E and Exodus character designs; it looked great back in DA.

Toomi: Uh huh. On the day of the entrance ceremony, Shouko was looking forward to attending school, but her health was so bad and she got a fever. Her mother and I both said she couldn't go; that's all we could say. After we went to school, she left the house alone, without saying anything to anyone. She wanted to spend the first day of school with everyone. She couldn't stand being alone and just sleeping. But as expected, her health got worse. She couldn't walk, and you came at that time.
Kazuki: By chance, I forgot something though I can't remember what it was now. So I was hurrying to school and saw Shouko painfully standing there.
Toomi: She said that she was surprised to suddenly have you talking to her. She didn't know what to say when you asked her what happened. And then out of the blue you offered to carry her there, right?
Kazuki: I knew that Shouko's health was bad. I wasn't really thinking; I just carried her to school. Now that I think of it, I wonder if Shouko didn't want me to...
Toomi: No, that's not true. She was just surprised. But she wanted to go to school, and because you were in a hurry, she tried not to be embarrassed and had you carry her. Except Shouko was worried that she might just be dragged home. And then you said to go to school. And Shouko was so, so happy. She always watched you from behind and thanked you.
Toomi: I was surprised, too. I never thought you'd bring her to school. After that, Shouko got a little better and was always at school. That was the first time I'd ever seen Shouko so happy.
Toomi: Since then, Shouko always wanted to pay you back. When I showed her pictures from school, she'd ask where you were.
>>13497063
Kazuki always helping those in need. For he is a savior.
Seriously, that can trigger a crush as the one Shouko had, and plant the seed for Maya's one. Kazuki is way more smooth than I thought.
>>13495474
>NUNs have better fafners too
But which one is the best?
>>13497077
Well he does pay with his lifespan after all by reverse assimilating the girls.
Not even the entire Perseus company and Srinagar is spared his assimilation.
Hester will probably be next in line.

>>13497118
I wish I could tell the NUN fafners apart, they all look different from each other, yet similar enough that I can't identify them.
I just noticed the new NUN fafners don't have the assymetrical chest, not sure if I like it. Babalon and Megatherion had the "normal" chest right?
Also what's with fafner arm/leg length? It's all over the place.
>>13497209
The two Thrones models we've seen (Raphael like Ai's in Perseus and Sandalphon) have an attached fuck off huge claw mounted on their arm.
Powers (Ariel like Billy's in Perseus and Olympia Angels) look like gorillas
Dominions (Gabriel like Johnathan's in Perseus and an unknown ground type) are less distinct, but still very aesthetically pleasing.
Babs and Megatherion had the twisty torsos, actually.
>>13497209
>>13497227
Here, the Babalon Model
>>13497227
>>13497235
What I thought then. Reading google-translated JP wiki now, apparently the NUN has so many variants because each one is developed from a different machine. So looking at >>13497083 from left to right it's Olympia, Gabriel, Raphael, another Olympia and Sandalphon?
>>13497277
Bingo.
>>13497299
Then I have to agree with the anon before, Raphael is by far the best. Who doesn't love Byarlants?
>>13497317
Personally I prefer the Sandalphon, but I can agree that the Thrones is easily the best-looking of the base frames.
Dominions Gabriel looks nice too, though.
>>13497326
>I prefer the Sandalphon
How tho?
>Gabriel

Rina powers up Sui's SDP to bring the core out
Kouyou has worm lasers, giant worm sword
Canon's last message is the location of Kazuki and co.
Dustin arrives too late to catch Kazuki and co., Narrein left a trap for them to "remember who they ought to be fighting" and Bellcross shows up
>>13497859
Episode ends with Bellcross coming out of the clouds.
>>13497746
is that a worm sphere changing into the shape of a giant sword?
would you say it's aGran Worm Sword?
>>13497882
Pretty much, it's also extendable. Koyo's Mark Vier has a few Salvator-model capabilities this episode, like levitation and reverse assimilation.
