Summary:
Akiha and Honoka continue to go around pilfering various parts that Leopard needs while Leopard browses the internet on Akiha’s laptop. When Leopard’s vanity search reveals that he is no match for the Leopard 1, he uses Akiha’s laptop to send a flamboyant message to the school revealing that he plans to steal something. Meanwhile, the school festival is a whirlwind of activity as Bougainvillea and Mintao dress up as students to track Akiha, Itsuki helps sell Bondage Meat, and Honoka tearfully kills a crazed X-QT with a red box on his head.
Itsuki reveals she is also an X-QT, albeit a flat-level one under strict limitations. It seems that loli-Itsuki was there when the box-heads were going to some mysterious arctic ceremony. Anyway, the next mission for Akiha is to steal a positron matrix. Itsuki is able to arrest Akiha, but suddenly Leopard reveals that he can control both of their Q-TECTOR suits and threatens to strip both girls if Akiha and Imo do not announce that they are Leopard’s slaves. The plan sorta backfires as Imo helps them escape the school on a Kawanishi H8K, and Itsuki and Akiha decide to team up against Leopard. All is not lost, however, as Honoka is able to retrieve the positron matrix without anyone’s help.
Reaction:
As silly as this anime is, Leopard really gets a laugh out of me. His narcissism is so delicious, and I loved how he sent those silly videos out in an attempt to help his search engine rankings. It was downright cruel of Akiha to take that laptop (and internet connection) away from Leopard, and I think that she deserved what she got. Leopards hands also caught my eye. I don’t remember them being so prevalent in previous episodes, but maybe I just wasn’t paying close enough attention.
I noticed a whiff of plot with the box-heads and the shady connection between the Shishidou and Surre families. However, it’s hard to care when you have grilled meat tied up in herbal bondage. Itsuki also mentioned something about an X-QT in the student council; I wonder which one of them is an X-QT. I’m glad we also found out that the bags under Itsuki’s eyes are actually special limiters that help her keep her powers under control.

Just as how Akiha deserved what she got for taking his laptop, I can’t wait to see what he will deserved next episode when Yandere Imo gets back. “Baked Potato!!” “WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!!”
Overall, almost everyone is likable so far. Just love it though when seeing Imo and Akiha mad and of course Leopard.
Imo > Leopard.
I expect ‘Ruru’pard to say something “Fabulous” to “Baked Potato” that he wears the pants..I mean microchips in this relationship, but Nonaka Ai really impressed me with her hilarious yandere speeches.
There is something sketchy about that school and Akiha’s mother, but let’s not forget about Itsuki’s fanservice and “perfect disguise”. So far, I think it’ll continue the comedic route, have some emo/drama, and return with more spunk.
I guess even in space you still have internet. Now, that’s a sign for good things to come. Also, admit it. I bet there are still people who would google their name. I know I did.
That is actually Akiha’s older sister, and I don’t think we have been introduced to any parents in this show (similar to Mai Hime).
Crazy Imo is much better than normal Imo.
