In this week’s installment… We are getting near the end of the season which means plot twists and big reveals all over the place. Garo, Death Parade, and Yatterman give away a few secrets, plus Jel puts his entire writing career in jeopardy by quoting the Spice Girls.

Shizuo’s been framed for beating up some yakuza dudes, which isn’t helped by Akane also being the daughter of a third yakuza group. Combine that with the Toramaru gang waging war on the Dollars, Varona hunting Celty, and Aoba taking advantage of the situation to strongarm Mikado…
The Gunpla Academy faces the enigmatic Lucas Nemesis and his fantastic Crossbone Fullcloth.

Starting to struggle with paranoia, Shinchi finds consolation in the arms of Murano.

The year is UC. 0068. The Principality of Zeon declares war on the Federation as relations deteriorate. Zeon’s leader, Zeon Zum Deikun dies under mysterious circumstances. With accusations of assassination being thrown about, Zeon’s leaders fall into in-fighting and the Zabi family makes its move to usurp authority.

Kousei is shown the power that his words have had in giving hope to Kaori. Tsubaki’s devotion to the dork has also paid off, as her studies have landed her at a school near his conservatory. Finally, the time of preliminary auditions has come, and Takeshi comes out fighting with one of Chopin’s most challenging etudes.
The police try to keep things in order, but human error makes the situation quickly devolve into martial law. On the hunt for Parasytes, the protection of civilians is a secondary concern. Two groups find Gotou, and his invincibility is once again put to the test.
The duel between the two students of the Jigen Haoh school reaches its end. Punches are thrown and gibberish is shouted, all culminating in a roaring conclusion.
The girls find themselves in the former Imperial Captial, and once again in the thick of a fight between powerful Bests.
