「ギザギザハートの子守唄」 (Gizagiza Haato no Komoriuta)
“Jagged Heart Lullaby”
The quest for the legendary tasting cold noodles begins! With everyone trying to recreate the taste that Arashi’s raving about, we’re set up for the destruction of a lot of taste buds. Better yet, time slipping into the past to retrieve the good tasting one that Jun supposedly created sheds some humorous light on its actual origins.

「水着軍団（ナミギワ）GO!GO!GO!」 (Mizugi Gundan (Namigiwa) GO! GO! GO!)
“Swimsuit Corps (Tidal Wave) GO! GO! GO!”
I’ve been eagerly waiting for Nymph to show up, and what do you know, she’s right there when the episode starts. Needless to say, I was just as confused as Tomoki was. Much to our surprise, she’s nothing like Ikaros either, with her cheeky attitude and knack for calling everyone bugs. That’s alright though, she’s just in time for the full beach episode courtesy of the local town lottery draw.

「ジギー・ペッパーへの手紙」 (Jigii Peppaa he no Tegami)
“The Letter to Jiggy Pepper”
Jiggy Pepper is a lot cooler than his name will have you believe. Also, Lag has decided to give a name to his shindan after all this time. “Red Needle” 「赤針」 in homage to Gauche’s Black Needle.

「ポジティブフィードバック・ゼロ」 (Pojitibu Fiidobakku Zero)
“Positive Feedback Zero”
Damn, that was one hot Little Boy. Oh crap, that didn’t come out right. “It’s not what you think your honor, it’s the name of a move in a Japanese cartoon!”, probably won’t hold up very well in court huh? So um… anyway… Aruka is down, Blade vs. Arclight is on! It’s the battle of the Zero fragments.

「ミルク＆ビター＆シュガー＆スパイス」 (Miruku & Bitaa & Shugaa & Supaisu)
“Milk & Bitter & Sugar & Spice”
AIC doesn’t cease to amaze me with their work here. Their animation is so detailed, clean, and crisp that it makes you think you’re watching some high budget BONES production. It takes a while to notice that you’re actually not, and seeing this level of quality in a comedy series of all things. Now if only all studios could produce work at these standards.

「Heimkehr ～敵か味方か～」 (Teki ka Mikata ka)
“Homecoming ~Friend or Foe~”
Natsuru my boy, you are so screwed. Shizuku’s in your dreams now; there’s no escaping her deadly lips anymore! Just give in and let her ravish your body like there’s no tomorrow. You’ll learn to like it soon enough.

「VI-I end game」
The playing field has been wiped clean, the pieces reset. After Beatrice’s conniving attempt to win last time, it’s clear she shouldn’t be taken lightly. The stakes have been increased now that the vicious 12 year cycle is known, but Battler has Ange’s help for this fourth game. Beatrice also arrogantly grants him the use of the “blue truth”, which may just come back to bite her in the ass.

「friends」
“Friends”
Now this is the Saitou Chiwa that I know. Miyako is bratty, obnoxious, yet somewhat cute, unlike the other end of the spectrum seen in Senjougahara Hitagi. What’s surprising here is Takagaki Ayahi, who’s voicing Sumika like I’ve never heard her before.

「友と明日のために barátoknak, holnapra」 (Tomo to Asu no Tame ni)
“For Friends and the Future”
After watching Kakeru run away for four episodes, I was starting to wonder when the poor guy will ever awaken his ability. He may have been hotheaded at first, but his frustration is justified at this point. Luckily that all changes now; Kakeru awakens, along with his Eye of Aeon.
