AXZ Finale
-I see Bikki is beating herself up over (former) enemy deaths.
-We've been over this already, Adam. Some humans may be asshats with or without the Curse of Balal, but Bikki's proved time and time again that it's possible to reach out your hand even with the Curse. Which is why I've been maintaining there's no need for removing it.
-Thanks for saying exactly what I would want to say, Bikki.
-And now, the traditional massive Noise fight.
-Huh, today's six-man song seems to be combining elements from all six battle songs.
-And Adam gets fisted-
-OOOR HE COULD TURN HIS ARM INTO A MONSTER.
-Once again, Adam fails to learn from history. Having turned himself into a Demon, Gudako is going to tear him apart for materials.
-"I REJECT MY HUMANITY, HIBIKI!"
-...Is this the first shots we've got of Symphogear's Precursors?
-Okay, why the hell was Adam's psychic phone ringing? Distraction?
-Germain, weren't you kinda
dead?
-Despite the mocking about X-Drive, Adam just threw an
energy blast at Hibiki. He never learns from mistakes, does he?
-Apparently they can't actually use this variety of energy, so Elfnein's diverting to Dainslef?
-Aaand an outright fireball, when they're already converting energy like that. You're an idiot who's incapable of adapting, Adam. Which makes sense given he's supposedly perfect already.
-AAAAND HERE'S THE OPENING. They're not even using Ignite, let alone X-Drive!
-That's a
big missile-Aaand we
are getting a fight at a concert hall. It's just not one with people.
-Wait a second, did Adam just nullify the power boost-no, recoil's hitting because Hibiki hasn't had her Gear patched.
-SO TIME TO COMBINE YOUR POWERS AS ONE. IIRC this is the same thing used for Glorious Break last season?
-Hibiki Infinity Style. That was unexpected. Expect more Kamen Rider jokes.
-Apparently we're checking off the different moves used. Kill Juliet, Blue Flash, Lunar Eclipse, and now Adam's grabbed her. Wonder what move the XDU version will use?
-So is the Annukai another name for the Custodians? In any case, looks like the S5 speculation is on point.
-Wait a second, isn't Cast Off an original Chris technique? Then again, I guess you can say that of
all the Gear moves.
-Ghost Alchemists are back, and Hibiki is outright
growling that activation phrase.
-Aaaand it's time for Gungnir Infinity Gold! Appearing only for this
movieepisode!
-Waaait a second, isn't this
Genjuro's ORAORAORAORA technique from the XDU opening? FORESHADOWIIIIIIIING!
-And after [EXTERMINATE] got substituted out for [GLORIOUS BREAK] last season, we're back to form now with [TESTAMENT]
-Yeah, you are
not hope, Adam. All that was crushed was your opression.
-AAAND THERE GOES A CHUNK OF TOKYO AGAIN.
-Okay, apparently we're getting an explanation for Goddess Hibiki?
-Oh hey, this is the London cell from 3.5! Of course, the issue with decapitating the head is that you get a bunch of splinter groups.
-And there's the confirmation from Justinkal that it was America who launched the nuke. Once again, damnit Anime Trump. At least the other countries are going
what the fuck.
-Oh damnit, Assshat Kazanari's now aiming for the power of the gods. I honestly trust the younger Kazanaris further than him.
-With everything over, Hibiki gets a (late) birthday party. Probably getting a free pass for missing school due to being a cocoon, too.
-Apparently this was funded by free gifts from Tomato Lady's farm. Tsubasa seems to like it.
-The game looks familar, but I can't quite place the console here. Presumably Generic?
-Tsubasa what the hell are you doing with the washing up?
-Hibiki, stop doubting, believe in justice and hold a determination to fist.
-Apparently we're reusing Niji Iro no Flugel for the last credits.
-STINGER! According to a later check of Zoid's twitter, all the information on screen is from the Keywords-presumably, this canonizes them.
-...Right. Shenshoujin is apparently more OP than thought. It cleanses
all curses. Including the Curse of Balal. Doesn't really change my spiel on Hibiki, Fine was pre-Shenshoujin.
-Waaait a second, if we're attributing Hibiki's rapid progress to normal Wielder to this, doesn't this open Miku to Symphogear-using without canon issue?
-Welp. Mikugear is now a canon issue once again, rather than an XDU one. Explains why Miku only needed a bit of LiNKER to use AU Shenshoujin, though-there's a possibility that she didn't even need the LiNKER.
Cleanup on Adam done. Looks like this thread sleeps until S5 and/or Zesshoushinai.
