Symphogear G: Final Stanza
Ver has his usual reaction to Hibiki with Gugnir: NOPENOPENOPENOPE.
...Since when could Ver open portals. Regardless, he's also wise enough not to get into a fight with Commander.
Ver's apparently planning on using Frontier as his weapon now the Noise Gunner is gone. Shame there's five Symphogears around to punch his face in.
Commander's opened the path for them to find Ver. Hibiki's off to deal with the S2 Engine.
Unfortunately, Ver's already at the core. And that means ADAM can spawn offshoots to deal with the Symphogears.
Back at the bridge, Maria's still desparing. Time for a ghost peptalk like Bluewing got.
And now everyone watching is humming along to Maria's apple song. Methinks we're about to get a repeat of S1's finale.
...And Old Lady's wheelchair apparently doubles as a mech. She's still alive enough to pull the moon reactivation. Not that she's able to survive for long enough, up in space. Regardless, Maria's regained her resolve.
Nothing NERV is throwing at ADAM is working. Sounds like they need a bit more power.
...Or two more Symphogears. That'll do.
Ver assumes he has the upper hand and fireballs them. I doubt that worked.
Cue a
new Gear chant. Ver promptly loses his smile. It's the cracked pendant Maria's been carrying!
Ah, they're taking advantage of the transformation barrier and starting a group song. The second fireball promptly gets S2CA'd.
...Wait a second, is that the
Swan Song melody in this song?
Given how Ver assumes six Swansongs won't work, I'm guessing it
counts as one too. Ver apparently didn't read up on S1 enough; he's forgetting everyone else watching lent their songs. It's the return of the end-of-season powerup forms!
One shot, and the ADAM is down. Ver's going to be making some
hilarious faces shortly. Plus, Commander's here to deal with him.
...Wait a second, that's a
special attack cut. Manager can apparently
bend bullets to preform the Shadow Weave.
Ver's going "FUCK EVERYTHING" and letting ADAM eat Frontier. Not Good. "Blowing everything up" not good.
Symphogears will deal with it like they dealt with the Moon Chunk. Meanwhile, Commander's arrested Ver, and he's not going to let anything like massive rocks get in his way. Because he's found the perfect punishment for Ver:
Treat him normally, not specially.
NERV-HQ blows the bit of rock they were on to escape the ongoing transformation of ADAM. Meanwhile, the Symphogears fight it in space.
...Shirabe
literally busts out a giant mecha. ADAM's just absorbing the energy from her and Kirika. Oh dear.
Chris has a solution: Open the Gate of Babylon, shove ADAM in their, and let him safely mess up Gil's stuff.
ADAM punches Chris, the Gunner's thrown to Maria. ADAM tentacles Maria...and it's
taking her with it. Maria's fully willing to be that sacrifice.
Hibiki's not willing to make that sacrifice if they can avoid it. Now they're
all trapped in the Gate of Babylon.
NERV HQ's parachuting down as they switch to a smaller boat. Meanwhile, on death's door, Old Lady's reactivated the moon, and the Opening's here.
Oh hey, Hibiki's pulling more elaborate Morph Weapon shennanigans now. Presumably due to having a pendant.
New plan: Open a portal for them to get out of the Gate. Maria's free, they just need to avoid letting out ADAM. Who's directly in their path home.
No matter. Combine all the armour parts to form
two giant spinning drill-fists. Like the final Excaliblast last season, this is named after the opening.
Oh dear. Gate's still open, everyone's used their energy, the explosion is imminent.
...Okay, how the
hell did Miku throw the Gunner that far? Does LiNKER have side-effects like that?
The Moon's back in orbit, but Old Lady's dead, and Maria's cracked Pendant is now
completely busted. Hibiki offers Gugnir, but Maria refuses.
Oh hey, the season ending theme makes use of the subtitle.
Oh yeah, one thing that isn't mentioned directly in an episode until season 3, but was revealed in supplemental stuff related to season 2 and will make that scene and the next episode make a bit more sense.
When the giant anti-magic laser disintegrated all the fragments of Gungnir that were inside Hibiki's body, she kept the crazy high sync rate that she got from being fused with Gungnir. Despite being pretty damn bullshit, it makes some degree of sense with the fact that experience using a relic can raise your sync rate, as demonstrated here by Tsubasa.
Ah, so higher synch rates can yoink from lower synch rates?
Makes sense to me. Despite it being purged, her body probably would've kept the adaptations it had made to being fused with Gugnir.
Right. Now to go looking for the appropiate OVAs, like the one that explains what happened in the timeskip.
