01x06 - Blitz, Sahara, Twinkle

[bunniefuu]

This is how I'll become...

This is how I'll become...

...Supreme Commander.

...a hero.

This is my story!

Blitz, Sahara, Twinkle

THAT'S what she meant by
"physically demanding"?!

No fair!

Things are heating up out here, folks!

Up next in Round 2:

It's Shushu Suruga
of the 7th Squadron versus...

Hell yeah!

...Sahara Wakasa of the 6th Squadron!

Both competitors specialize
in hand-to-hand combat!

I have a feeling this is gonna be
an intense battle!

Watch this, Yukki.
I'm about to clobber this girl.

Okay.

And maybe you'll show me
some appreciation afterwards, eh?

Huh?

Yachiho!

Since you lost your match...
you get to be our cheerleader.

Good luck, Sahara!

You can count on me!

I'll make you proud!

We both like to get up close and personal,

so how 'bout we hold off
on using our abilities till later?

Sure thing!

Ready, set...

GO!

Here I come!

Sahara starts off with a ferocious kick!
Here I come!

Sahara starts off with a ferocious kick!

But Shushu grabs her by the leg and...

SLAMS her!

She follows it up with an elbow drop!

Ow!

Sahara grabs Shushu from behind and...

hits her with a German suplex!

It ain't over yet!

Ugh, I'm tired...

That was long enough...

Break out the abilities!

Already?!

Aw! It was just starting to get good!

Fine, I'll use mine, too!

How many do you think she'll do?

Just one?

I'd guess three or so.

Both of their abilities
center around physical strength...

This will be a short match.

Ooh, how neat!

'Kay, it's my turn!

Mad...

Sheep!

MAD SHEEP

Three!

And... WHAM!

Paper beats... ROCK!

I win rock-paper-scissors!

You totally cheated!

Sahara unleashed her "Mad Sheep" ability!

It allows her to boost her strength

for the precise amount of time
she specifies in advance!

One minute minimum,


The shorter the amount of time allotted,
the stronger she gets!

However, her ability has a mandatory
three-minute cooldown period!

Nice move! Keep it up, Sahara!

Why, you...

O-owie!

Ow-ow-ow...

Sure, your size is impressive,
but it makes you easy to dodge!

And it makes you an easy target!

Shushu?!

Yukki...

You don't have to
give me that look, y'know...

Well? Are you ready to give up now?

Give up? You're joking, right?

This match is just getting started!

Wow, you've got guts!

It's weird to me, too.

Why am I so determined?

C'mon, Shushu!
Having a boyfriend is fun!

Jeez, you sound like a broken record...

I just don't get
why you're so opposed to it!

There's never a dull moment with him...

And seeing that look of joy on his face?
It's the best feeling in the world!

Whoa.

It's rare to find a girl
so devoted to her man nowadays.

Nah...

I'm not interested in
a romance with some dude.

I want something more exciting, y'know?

Member Recruitment     Language Settings

Been thinkin' about
joining these guys lately!

If I went to Mato,
I bet I'd never get bored!

Every day would be a total blast!

Very on-brand.

Isn't it?

Hm. I guess you
just wouldn't understand...

But you'll get it one of these days!

Keep your eyes on me, Yukki...

'Cause I'm about to win!

Don'tcha think you'd have an easier time

moving around
if you were a little smaller?

It's always important
to assess the situation at hand

and tailor your ability accordingly!

Smaller would be better?

That kind of self-control is a snoozefest!

I live my life by a single motto:
Go big or go home!

Paradigm Shift!

I'll make my body even bigger...

PARADIGM SHIFT

PUSH THE ENVELOPE!

and push the envelope!

I didn't see that coming...

And... BANG!

I was too big for you to dodge, wasn't I?

Take this!

Hey, ref.
Can you see if she's unconscious?

U-uh, sure!

She did it...



Miss Shushu won her match!

Yeah!

One!

Two!

She got back up?!

That's part of Sahara's ability!

If she loses consciousness
while her ability is active,

her heightened k*ller instincts
take control of her body,

which then continues the fight on its own!

She'll attack enemies and allies alike...

But it only makes her
that much more powerful.

Sahara can sleep anytime, anywhere.

It's her secret weapon.

One! Two! Three!

It's all over!

The winner is: Sahara Wakasa!

All because of my
glorious cheerleading skills!

She took her down
in exactly three minutes.

Shushu!

Are you all right?!

No need to worry.
I got her all patched up.

Y-your chest!

Hey! Come on, get off me!

Oh... I must've...
Hey! Come on, get off me!

Here, take this!

Shushu.

Commander...

I'm sorry for losing my match...

You almost had her.
We'll discuss where you can improve later.

I think you'd better go get changed.

'Kay.

I looked like an idiot...

and Yukki saw the whole thing.

Shushu?

Um... Do you want anything to drink?

I can grab it for you
while you get dressed.

Nah, I'm good...

If there's anything I can do,
just let me know.

Since I'm the caretaker...

Okay, then erase my memories
of that pitiful excuse for a match.

I think it sucks you didn't win, but...

I don't think it was pitiful at all!

Really?

In all honesty,

I wish I'd gotten to see more
of the wrestling you did at the start!

You would've
if she hadn't been a buzzkill.

Hey, Yukki?

Can you close your eyes for a sec?

Sure...

Shushu?!

To be fair, I did tell you
to close your eyes...

Wh-why did you kiss me just now?!

Well...

I figured I'd chase the shock of losing
with an even bigger shock!

That's a power move!

I can't tell him
until I get him to like me more.

Sense any anomalies in Mato, Nei?

No...

There's nothing out of the...

Huh?

A spy?

Wow, we only just broke our cover.

Not bad.

Tell the others I say hello...
and that the battle begins now.

Wh-who was that?

What's wrong, Nei?
Did you see something?

I...

Shuuki?!

Where in the world are they coming from?!

You can totally chillax!

My barrier is impenetrable-

THIS flimsy thing is a barrier?

A humanoid?!

The absurdity fills me, Rairen,
with THUNDEROUS laughter!

No way! It cracked my barrier?!

We're calling off the exhibition match!

Bunch of pests.
It's about time you went extinct.

You're a dying breed.

All hands, prepare for battle!

Tenka!

On it.

I'll take the non-combatants to the dorm.

And have Nei give you her recon report!

Destroy every last Shuuki!

Yes, ma'am!

Let me handle this one!

Commander!

Shushu!

Can you fight?

Yup!

Paradigm Shift!

Have a taste of my boot!

I'm already feeling way better!

Take this!

Don't let up on the crowd control!

I'll cover your six!

Not them...

Going somewhere?

I'm your opponent!

Not you, either...

But perhaps I'll burn you
to a crisp first!

Oh?

Yachiho!

Himari...

He's gonna be a tough nut to crack.

Just now...

You stepped in because you knew
the lightning was coming ahead of time.

b*stard! You'll pay for that!

Commander!

Let me ride on Yuuki's back with you!

WITH her?

Two people at the same time?!

But we've never tried that before-

All right.

Just trust me.

Let's go, Himari. The three of us.

Yes, ma'am!

I've got a gut feeling...

that with two masters,
he'll take on a more powerful form.

ETERNAL CHAINS: sl*ve

w*r CLOUD

ETERNAL CHAINS: sl*ve

w*r CLOUD

What do you think
of your new powers, Yuuki?!

Let's give 'em hell!

The power's coursing through me...

I bet I could do it now...

That move she did back then.

I'll use the same method as Brand Break
to channel my energy.

Howling Blast!

HOWLING BLAST

So THAT'S what having two masters does!

Perfect!

Now we can annihilate the whole swarm!

But what about Yachiho?!

She'll be fine.
The 6th Squadron has HER.

They've got Tenka.

Two additional humanoids?

Yes.

I can't see them right now,
but I'm sure of it...

Huh... All right then.

We'll take it from here.

I won't let you outshine me.

We'll give 'em something better
than an exhibition match...

We'll give 'em a commander showdown!

This is t*rture!

Lady Ten and Lady Kyou
are out there fighting,

and I'm stuck here?!

It's because the dorm
has the sturdiest barrier.

But I can barely see from so far away!

I wanna watch!

I wanna watch up close!

Um, if you put your hand
on Nei's shoulder,

she'll link with your mind
so you can watch the fight.

Seriously?!

Omigosh, Miss Okawamura!
You're totally the best!

I can see them! This is awesome!

It's time... to bow down!

Yeah, look at her go!

Shuuki can't be beaten
with normal weapons.

The power of Mato, granted by Peaches,

and specially made weapons
imbued with the Peaches' power

are the only ways to counter them.

But the exception to that is Lady Kyou.

Kyouka Uzen!

She trained atop a sacred mountain

to perfect her own unique style of combat
that destroys the creatures!

She gained the skills necessary
to defeat Shuuki

without relying on her Peach ability!

And this exceptional nature of hers

is how she landed her position
as commander!

I can't believe I get to see Lady Kyou's
strength up close!

It's a dream come true for a fan like me!

Lady Kyou's ability
is stronger than ever, too!

This is totally wicked!

Golden Hour!

Freeze for five seconds!

AZUMA TIME: GOLDEN HOUR

I'm not done yet!

Dammit... That's a lot of firepower!

This is what these humanoids
are capable of?!

Can't do that sneaky pose of yours
without an arm!

You're a fool!

One as elegant as I
can pose no matter how many limbs I have!

Golden Hour!

Rewind five seconds!

AZUMA TIME: GOLDEN HOUR

Persistent little pest, aren't you?

My body's all warmed up.

I'll obliterate you with this next strike.

Good job, Yachiho.

That woman...

Where'd she come from all of a sudden?

Let's swap.

You go take it easy.

Take it easy?

While my entire army is closing in on you?

Army?

I already neutralized any Shuuki
that might try to interfere.

The report indicated the existence of
another two officer-level humanoids.

But first...

I guess I'll start by getting rid of you.

This power...

Looks like I get to have some fun.

TEACH US! NEI-SENPAI!

"Teach Us! Nei-senpai!"

Okey-dokey!

MAD SHEEP

Today we're talking about Miss Sahara
Wakasa's Peach ability: Mad Sheep!

Mad Sheep is a
physical fortification ability

that allows her to increase her strength
for the amount of time of her choosing.

She can do this for a minimum of
one minute and a maximum of 60 minutes.

The shorter the timeframe,
the stronger she becomes!

A nap totalling at least three minutes
is required between each usage.

What's more, if she passes out
while Mad Sheep is active,

she'll lose her ability to differentiate
between friends and foes,

so it's best to cheer her on
from a safe distance!

Anyways, next time:

"United Front, Tenka, Soar"

UNITED FRONT,

TENKA,

SOAR

Thanks for watching!
