SymphoGX #11
Last time, HQ got destroyed. Again. This episode, they're bailing in the minisub again, while Chris busts out
Caladbolg ARTEMIS SPIRAL.
That last hit from the Stand seems to have KOd everyone in the sub for a bit. Guess that momentum can't easily be cancelled with kung-fu bullshit. Elfnein's also injured.
The episode title is Hibiki's catchphrase. This will end well.
That meeting with Bikidad went well. Hibiki seems to have calmed from 'HE'S THE WORST', but she's not going to serve as a gobetween. He has to work up the courage to visit his wife himself.
WHY DID THE SKY JUST CRACK APART?!
Apparently Carol's base is a floating fortress. Given how the
sky just cracked open, I'm guessing it was stowed away in another dimension. But now, Carol presumably has the entire score for the world's end.
I believe we've covered how you're grossly misinterpreting your father's words, Carol.
Ver, you took the words right out of my mouth. Carol lacks any dreams or hopes beyond the destruction of everything.
Hibiki's the only one on scene. That means that her job is helping the civilians GTFO until everyone's together.
...Goddamnit Bikidad. That's just gonna piss off your daughter more. Meanwhile, LAST ACTION HERO is rapidly pissing off Carol.
And Ver gets stabbed mid-HERO rant. I'm honestly not sure if that'd kill him, given his arm.
She's right in that Ver isn't really a hero. The late Ver, however, is right in that I doubt her plan's going to go off without a hitch.
And now it's time for her to act on her grudge against Hibiki. Obstacles are for killing, and Hibiki's no longer fused with Gugnir for easy healing.
Competetence from Carol; she cut the string on the Gear, sending it flying before Hibiki can transform.
And thank you Bikidad. You may have left Hibiki
nothing, but you're not just going to stand there and let her die. Unfortunately, he runs away straight after. We're whipping back and forth here.
Carol's trying to emotionally break Hibiki again. Fuck you Carol.
Bikidad wants her to run so
she can survive, even when he's getting hit. Hibiki flashbacking to better times is presumably a good sign. Apparently, her catchprase sources from Bikidad.
Talking about him, he's found his courage. Now if someone'd just throw the Gear to Hibiki, we can get to the neccesary facepunching.
Thank you Bikidad. Carol's face: NOT AS PLANNED.
Huh. Don't think this is the same song as last time we saw Hibiki. Carol throws a tornado at her to get her to stop.
Oh dear, she threw Noise at Bikidad. Unfortunately for her, she has a knuckleduster rocketing directly for her face.
That apparently hurt enough for Carol to throw Junpei's Personae at her. They're getting punched.
Carol's gunning for the dad to spite Hibiki. Thankfully, the cavalary's finally arrived for the showdown.
The "Nothing will stop me now" flag has now been tripped. That means she's gonna be stopped shortly.
Carol's busted out Harp Mode ag-waaait a second.
Meanwhile our villains aren't singing.
Our villian is singing. I assume this isn't good. Especially given she's singing about genocide.
It's not just
any song. This is a
Swan Song. Given how those have been universally
near-deadly when not mitigated by stuff such as Hibiki's Power Drain or X-drive becoming possible, I doubt Carol plans on surviving this.
And they immediately call out Hibiki's Song being unfeasible; this amount of power would place it in the fatal category of Swansongs.
"I will make sure love is over". Carol is thoroughly rejecting love; I believe the opening counters with "Love is never over" or something like that.
Ah. Carol's Swansong resonates with the Chateau, it channels in the 'cursed melody of Dainslef', and that presumably resonates with the Earth or something to pull off the destruction.
...Given the lines, I assume it's using the leylines. Meanwhile, Bikidad wants to at least watch from command HQ.
Uh, Carol, you seem to have missed the memo. Hibiki's Armed Gear are her
fists, even if you've got her tied up with strings.
"You have no chance of stopping me!" Carol, you just keep tripping those About To Suffer Downfall flags.
Up in the Chateau, there's an army of Noise for the FINE group to fight. I believe we're ending the episode there. Though with two minuites left, I suspect a last-second stinger-
OLD LADY?!? What the actual fuck, you're supposed to be
dead! The beginning of the series was your body being retrieved!
PEOPLE DIE WHEN THEY ARE KILLED!
