Kandakara: *Murakumo at full power* Haha! Finally! Feel the glimpse of the top, you insolent brat!
Durga: Ooh, that's neat. #thumbup
*CRACK*
Kandakara: ...Alright.

Definitely not what happened. But hey. :D
 
Kinda looking at it from anime logic. Kouji managed a "win", in the form of a hit which was all he needed. A mysterious powerful character that can in anyway get defeated this early in an anime usually tend to have bad fates.
That didn't look like "winning" so much as "losing with style" from where I was sitting.

Also, was wondering about why Durga sounded familiar:
Maa Durga is the embodiment of 'Shakti', a culmination of the powers vested in the Hindu Gods. In Hinduism, worship of Durga has been associated with the annihilation of evil powers and rise above the negative energies associated with the anger, greed, lust, egoism and pride.

Goddess Durga, also known as Parvati is the consort of Lord Shiva. It is said that the Goddess Shakti takes on different forms such as Kali, Chandi or Durga to fight the demons. She is the power behind all creation, preservation and destruction in the Universe. Goddess Durga has been worshipped as the supreme power of God (Shakti) for time immemorial with special mention in scriptures such as the Yajur Veda, Vajasaneyi Samhita and Taittareya Brahman.

'Durga' is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning the 'invincible'. Literally translated, Durga means a fort that is difficult to overcome. A more elaborate meaning of Durga is 'du'-'r'-'ga' or the destroyer of all evils and diseases.

Now if you don't mind, I have Se-Tsun's Frame to figure out.
Wait, you guys didn't look this stuff up as soon as you got the names for the frames? Slackers.

Been thinking about it, and we seriously don't have to worry about Worf. The audience doesn't know that Wave Force Manipulation exists. They don't know that the superweapon patterned off it exists. Unless we had enough relevance for our visit to the teacher's lounge to have been its own segment, they've never even heard the words for any of them. We're the mysterious prototype for a top-secret superweapon that's still secret. We're Worf-immune until the WFM comes out, and that can't happen until they hear about the superweapon, and even then WFM won't be used until an episode closes with the G-Gun being destroyed and everybody wailing about the plan falling apart. We've got at least two major plot points between us and Worf, so good for probably two seasons of being ludicrously OP.

If we're going to worry about being troped to death, being ludicrously OP is actually what's going to get us. We must avoid becoming The Mentor. Being incredibly mysterious and woobie staves this off. Getting hit with Deus Exit Machina is also an issue. I think we're already broken enough to avoid being Not So Invincible After All; if the director needs to kill someone to remind people the tone is -1 it's going to be Silvia's flight.
Lord knows she reminded me of the mentor in that scene. Specifically, the bit where the mentor proves you hundred years too early to beat them, but the protagonist manages to impress them anyway. Like Negi landing a hit on Chachamaru, or Naruto's bell test.

Anna's reflexes cause her to panic when she takes showers. She has previosuly ignored all three of those mtigating factors.

On the frame discussion,It seems intersting and probably important. The first of the protags powers wasn't something he developed, it was given to him when he passed the frame's test. Does the frame want him to show commitment and will? Does it want him to prove himself?Or does it just want the limiters removed? The answer will likely be important.
My guess? He unlocked it because he proved his Valor, and showing Wisdom and Benevolence will unlock the other ones.

The wiki for this anime has a giant page on the mythological symbolism viewers found, you mark my words.
 
I'm not interested in current conversation, how bout we look at this instead.



Tranquil fury or something more?
I'm almost 100% certain that was Kandakara.

[X]Breakfast: Visit Koujirou, see if he is okay.
-[X] If he is not awake, ask his frame what exactly it thought it was doing when it let him override the safeties.
[X]Breakfast: See about acquiring a medical module
[X]Morning: Skip class and study Transcendent Offense
[X]Lunch: Visit the Elite cafeteria. This is absolutely not hiding from Setsu and Yukari.

We can do this whole technopathy thing right?

EDIT: changed vote

This would be an extremely OOC action. Anna is very much against human on human violence - it's at the base of her traumas.
 
I don't think we can pull off a threat of physical violence as Anna. That's way OOC.


Just one or two minor additions to the vote, which are easy to get done if we're in the med wing anyway:

EDIT: Vote changed to this:

[X]Breakfast: Visit Koujirou, see if he is okay.
-[X] If he is not awake, ask his frame what exactly it thought it was doing when it let him override the safeties.
-[X]Evaluate the quality of care. If it meets your standards, reconsider your stance on the medical examinations you refused. You're trusting these people with your friends if they get hurt, after all.
[X]Breakfast: See about acquiring a medical module
-[X]While you are at it, put in a request for a fabricator, through official channels. Best to be prepared.
[X]Morning: Go to class and study Transcendent Offense
[X]Lunch: Visit the Elite cafeteria. This is absolutely not hiding from Setsu and Yukari.


[]Lunch: Hang around with friends
-[] Discuss the match and pick out where they did right and wrong.

Why are people forgetting that we actually need to eat breakfast during breakfast time.
And what do we need a medical module for? We fixed our busted eyes back up in no time.
 
Personal regeneration is different to providing first aid to others.

Mostly though, it's an acceptable, reasonable reaction to quell Anna's fears. we may never need it, but Anna will feel better if we have it.
It's kind of IC to forget to eat in favour of worrying harder (see lack of sleep).

For other people.

EDIT: Type 18'd again.

Fair enough.

Amending vote, I like the add-ons, especially the fabricator. Anna should try to get back the stuff that she lost before, and be ready to integrate and make what else she wants for potential needs in the future, one can never be too prepared after all.

Regarding this vote;

-[] If he is not awake, ask his frame what exactly it thought it was doing when it let him override the safeties.
-[] tell Koujirou if he disregards the safeties outside of a life or death situation again we will leave him to Setsuna's tender mercy.

I think Anna does not know what safeties are... I think we can leave this to Yukari and Setsuna xD.

Also next on Anna's medical care: "Oh god oh god oh god your eyes are broken, here take mine!"

I think that the best way to to put "don't hurt yourself training" in a way that makes sense to us and him is to say that it's purposeless. It makes sense to do so in life-or-death situations or when there's Antagonists that are going to kill people, but training/competition isn't either of those. I don't think there's any point to asking his frame- it'll just give us some singularly unhelpful answer in the vein of "because he said so." Durga has subtly displayed some independent action, but I don't think that's something we should expect of any other frame.
Why are people forgetting that we actually need to eat breakfast during breakfast time.
I'm not entirely certain this is true. I don't think that we can run solely off of electricity from our reactors, but it's the sort of thing that wouldn't surprise me that much.
 
I've been thinking about how Annas going to change going forward from this, medical modules seem good assuming that it works without advanced medical knowledge (although we do seem to download random information from the net automatically).
As far as we know whenever Anna has failed in the past, she escalates. Pushing patrols further and further away from the town until she went and destroyed the breach itself. But there isn't an obvious way of escalating from here.

So I'm going to suggest we hold back more. MC chan got hurt trying to match us, if we'd let them win earlier or hadn't put them in situations where something so stupid seemed a good idea he'd be fine. So if we do this again we're going to add soft limiters to Duraga so that we match them hardware wise in spars. While MC wasn't too happy fighting us while we were holding back this would probably be acceptable to the others as it makes is a contest of skill not just Anna blowing them out of the water by having a more powerful frame.
 
So, show of hands: who here is worried Koji is able to take over the narrative at narratively important moments that involve him?
Anna flies, almost leisurely, up and out of the cloud, a swarm of inert missiles orbiting her frame.
Cue the sound of 800 AMVs of this, set to the Sephiroth theme music.

Or possibly an itsaGundam.gif.
She had not even turned her head to look at you once through the whole encounter. No, she doesn't need to look at anything. There was nothing down in this banal world that reflected in her eyes. What need was there when she has skill so prescient, so overwhelming, that it is transcendent? Anna was beyond quantification.
Koji going full cultist for a second there. All hail Anna! All hail the Valkyrissiah!
lol kendo. lol Japanese Samurai in my mecha anime. lol proud land of the Rising Sun.
you didn't carry any medical components. What are you going to do? You had to do something. What are you going to do? You had to do something. What are you going to do? You had to do something. What-
Anna has suffered a critical error. Reboot now.
You stand in the middle of your room, slightly at a loss as to what to do.
You know what to do, Anna.

Shower. Eat. Do normal things. Message ends.

From a meta-perspective, I find myself wondering whether this event will lead to Joujirou having a Sandra or Shuri centric episode or two.
I mean, it's pretty clear that the other three will more or less react with coddling him and making sure he doesn't do anything stupid again, so I'd say there's a decent chance he'll pull some sort of sneaking away stunt just to stop them from watching over his shoulder all the time, which would provide a narratively perfect chance to have him run into and interact with the haremettes who are not in his core social group yet without any of the others there to share screentime with.

-[X] Food empowered in a Valkyrie core is probably tastier and more nutritious than hospital food. Sneak into the infirmary and deposit food, check on Koji's status, leave quietly.
[X]Morning: Go to class and study. Too busy studying to think or interact with friends. Need to focus on all this studying, guys.
[X]Lunch: Visit the Elite cafeteria. This is absolutely not hiding from Setsu and Yukari.


Typo time.
"Anyways, there's no we'll be able to ambush her, and she can see through walls, so getting close is pretty much the only way right?
'no way we'll be able to ambush her'
The simulation space unfolds once again in the dust outside Perth Academy, immediately, you see Anna's dark Valkyrie Frame hovering at a neutral 10km distant.
I'd make this two sentences, second sentence starting with 'Immediately'.
even while networked with two other frames, also working against the jamming.
I'd remove the comma here.
Anna for her part was keeping Yukari at arms length
'arm's length'.
'Squeal'.
a shrug of her Impeller Field gathers the plasma around her frame around her head
Double arounds sounds a bit off. I'd switch the first to 'surrounding'.
Yes
Yes. No damage to CNS. No damage to vital organs. Damage concentrated to extremities. Limbs, dermis, minor skeletal distortion. Damage is contained.
I'd put a line between these.
"-afties are called safeties"
First one should be 'afeties', presumably.
"Nothing permanent, he'll be right, give him a day,"
'be all right', probably.
Koujirou chose to push as himself far as he did himself.
Remove first 'as'.
You glance at the clock. 05:31
Period after 5:31.
