Leap takes responsibility for his actions (or lack thereof).
TPAB said it as much in his wrap-up for T(a)LK, but yeah no, this was a sinking ship ever since we started (xD), timezones be damned and all. It doesn’t help that it takes me a while to clean the conversations up on my end. I shot myself in the foot by being fancy with it and putting kaomojis for every single line — and don’t get me wrong, while talking about the latest episode of an… entertaining show is fun, doing what I’d been doing for it after the fact is straight up work that quite frankly wasn’t; my pessimistic optimism (lol) for the project notwithstanding.
BUT, for the sake of posterity as well as in respect to TPAB and Keiko who took time out of their days to do this, the least I could do as follow through and finish my own set of posts. Here’s episode 10 of Site for those of y’all who were waiting for this (I highly doubt that there are people who were but eyy you’re very welcome to come prove me wrong xD).

Leap
( ^o^);;
Welp, the cop is a bad guy.
(I’d say I called it but really I was on the fence the entire time.)
Keiko
(･o･｡)
Working with Nana too…
I wonder how that came about?
TPAB
(✿´ ꒳ ` )
He is confirmed as the invisible guy though, right?
Keiko
“(._.(˙ ¯ ˙ )
Yup.
Leap
(꒪⌓꒪)
Pretty much. Well, it’s not revealed exactly how he becomes invisible, but we can assume that he has a stick for that now that we know he’s in cahoots with Nana.
Seems like they have a bit of history
Think he’s related to the Tubed Girl?
Show does like it’s older brother storylines after all.
Only reason I could think of that he’d work for ’em really.
Keiko
(๑ˊ▵ॢˋ̥๑)
Seems that way.
TPAB
(✿´ ꒳ ` )
Which also means he’s trouble since he has the OP time stop stick.
…Tubed girl?
Leap
( ^o^);;
Y’know…
The floaty tubed girl the admins were feeding negative energy to, lol
Keiko
ヾ(･ω･ ;)ｼ
Yeah the girl that was shown….
Ya know the one the feed the misfortune or whatever to….
TPAB
( *ﾟﾛﾟ)
She was tubed? “Tubed”?! You lost me.
Leap
( ^o^);;
See, what I meant to say was “Wired” Girl, but I thought of “Tubed” first (xD)
Keiko
(≧∇≦*)
I just remember her being fed wierd stuff lol
TPAB
( *ﾟﾛﾟ)
She was fed weird stuff?
Whoa, I think I skipped a lot, lol
Leap
ヾ(≧∇≦o)
Nah, they said that two episodes ago I think.
Maybe three.
Keiko
(≧౪≦๑)
Yeah… It’s been some time since they showed that.
TPAB
(´･×･｀)
She was fed?
All I remeber is that she floats.
Leap
( ^o^);;
Well, to be fair to you, they only say that they feed her emo vibes.
We don’t actually see it. …What would that look like anyway? xD
TPAB
o(^▽^)o
Ah, ok. that makes sense now, lol
Leap
( ^o^);;
I suppose the bigger question we should be asking though is —
Why is Big Bro being held captive, lol
Keiko
“(>ლ)”
The guy is probably just as messed up in the head as big bro lol
He did have big bro tied and hung naked after all (xD)
TPAB
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think the detective just wants him as a sex slave or something?
Kinda like Yatsumura and her captive toture toy
Leap
(ノ◇≦)
Well, I mean, he deserves it for one, but it never did cross my mind that he’s now potentially a torture doll.
I was thinking maybe he was being held hostage as a bargaining chip for Aya, ’cause y’know, despite everything he did to her — including straight-up killing one of her few friends — she’d still save the guy, lol
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂ･᷅ )
Makes sense, but I dunno, the group will kill Big Bro with no second thought though. but yeah, Nana at least would pull the hostage card, for sure.
Keiko
(〃´o｀)=3
Aya can join the list of stupid characters at this point.
Leap
( ^o^);;
Sad if true.
But at least she’s doing it for family right? xD
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂლ )
Yeah, for her abusive family.
Keiko
(≧∇≦*)
That kind of brother deserves to be tortured to death….
You’d have to be crazy to save such an abusive family.
TPAB
(✿´ ꒳ ` )
It’s her character flaw; makes her above everyone else.
Keiko
( ¬_¬)
It makes her kind of annoying… the way she thinks she can save everyone… It’s a naive way of thinking considering they all have a time bomb ticking on their wrists.
Leap
( ˙ ¯ ˙)._.)”
I’d surmise that’s in large part of her willingness to throw her life away, but yeah, you can only be too selfless.
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂ･᷅ )
So you want our main character to be like the rest; unnerving weird magical girls that don’t care? Hahahaha! I understand though — but she is flawed to an interesting degree.
Madoka is too :3
Leap
(;^o^ \)
Not even that, the others are no more than cutouts at this point.
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂ･᷅ )
Even Yatsumura lost her edge.
Leap
(ノ◇≦)
Sarina’s the only hope.
Keiko
“(>ლ)”
I liked Yatsumura at the beginning… now she’s like the rest.
At least Sarina’s still got her head screwed on.
Leap
(*´▽｀*)
Anyone else find it funny when the girls did their poses with their sticks, and Sarina holds up her yoyo ? (xD) Though I guess Yatsumura holding up her phone, and Otokonoko holding up her hand to show her ring aren’t any better, lol
Keiko
(≧∇≦*)
Hahahaha!
Leap
o(^▽^)o
Also, eyy, they got their sticks back.
TPAB
( ° o°)!
Is the phone back?
Oh, it was with Sarina?
Keiko
d(^-^b)
Lol true… now they can go capture an admin!
Yeah Sarina had all the sticks.
TPAB
(ﾟДﾟ||)
My gosh, I don’t remember a lot lol.
But yeah, I guess we’re going admin hunting next.
Leap
( ^o^);;
I like their chances now.
Wish we had an idea on how everyone is faring on lifespan though.
Keiko
(･o･｡)
Yeah so far all we know is Yatsumura is close to dying…
It’ll be interesting to see how they fight against an admin though.
Leap
( ^o^);;
They look like they have a decent amount of tacticians.. (or at the very least people who think, lol) on their group so I don’t believe they’ll take an admin head on.
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂ･᷅ )
The problem is that we don’t know how the admins fight.
They might have a stick that can override other sticks or something.
Keiko
“(._.(˙ ¯ ˙ )
Yeah they’ll probably plan the attack out instead of charging in head first.
But I dunno… they can’t be all powerful.
They have to have a weakness somewhere.
TPAB
(✿´ ꒳ ` )
The admins did scramble forcing Sarina to fight the squad, but I dunno, I feel like the show itself is underestimating the admins.
Leap
( ° o° )!
I think.. we actually find out on this episode something that could be used against them.
Keiko
(๑°o°๑)
Really?
Leap
(꒪⌓꒪)
We know that they can be tricked. Nana thought the girls got caught up in her explosion. That tells us she, and I assume the rest of the admins, aren’t omniscient at least.
Keiko
“(._.(˙ ¯ ˙ )
Ahhh yeah that’s true.
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂლ )
See, that’s the problem. Are they that unorganized?
Leap
( ^o^);;
It doesn’t seem like they work together nope.
Keiko
(･o･｡)
Yeah doesn’t seem lile they work as a group.
Plus it seems like some of them don’t like Nana at all.
TPAB
( *ﾟﾛﾟ)
Or do they?
*dun dun dddduuuuunnnnnn*
Leap
o(≧∇≦o)
Do they what? Actually like Nana? xD
TPAB
(￢ε ლ)
…Not work together.
You ruined it, Leap.
Keiko
(≧∇≦*)
Hahaha!
I think they have a common goal but how they achieve that is up to them…
TPAB
( ﾉﾟοﾟ)ﾉ
We know very little about the admins, so the squad is really at a disadvantgage. Judging by the OP sequence, I think the rest of the admins will appear too.
Keiko
“(._.(˙ ¯ ˙ )
Yeah true….
The admins are quite the mysterious group.
Leap
(꒪⌓꒪)
What’s nagging at me though is we know for a fact that Nana can just as easily finger gun the girls to death, so why go with the explosion, lol
Keiko
(･o･｡)
Good question….
Maybe to make it seem more natural?
If she shot them, at least one them could’ve tried something….
This way she caught them by surprise as well.
TPAB
(〃´o｀)=3
Or its a lazy way to save the confrontation for the last episode or something.
Leap
( ^o^);;
Half of them wouldn’t have had their sticks though.
Should’ve been a prime moment to pick them off.
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂ･᷅ )
Yeah, Nana got too cocky for her own good.
Keiko
“(._.(˙ ¯ ˙ )
I guess they can use that against her now.
Leap
(꒪⌓꒪)
She did say something about sharing some information to Sarina.
I wonder what that was about.
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂ･᷅ )
The part where she forces Sarina to kill the squad??
Leap
( ° o° )!
No, no. When Nana was in a meeting with the other admins, she says something about how she got the cop to share a piece of information with a “different magical girl” who I’m assuming was Sarina — but I don’t think we ever found out what that was.
Keiko
(･o･｡)
Ohh yeah.
I wonder what that was all about.
Leap
( ^o^);;
I have a feeling Sarina leading this charge is all a front now, lol
TPAB
(;¬_¬)
You think so? C’mon, the redemption is here.
Keiko
(･o･｡)
It felt kind of strange to be fair…. they don’t all exactly trust her.
Leap
( ^o^);;
That’s the thing though. Maybe the root of her redemption is still getting revenge on Aya for getting her friend killed after all.
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂლ )
If that were the case giving the back the sticks is a massive risk though.
Keiko
“(._.(˙ ¯ ˙ )
That would make sense… she still holds a grudge and all.
Leap
o(^▽^)o
Sarina’s taking them all down — girls and admins xD
TPAB
( ･᷄ㅂ･᷅ )
Sounds like a death flag.
Keiko
(≧∇≦*)
Still it sounds very Sarina like lol
Leap
( ^o^);;
Do we have anything else?
I mean, there was Nijimin’s funeral, but that one was kinda meh.
TPAB
(✿´ ꒳ ` )
Nana sang the OP.
Leap
( ^o^);;
Oh yeaaaaah, forgot about that (xD)
Keiko
(≧∇≦*)
Oh yeah she did….
That was something lol
TPAB
o(^▽^)o
It was weird, lol
Would’ve loved a live action performance instead (xD)
Leap
( ^o^);;
Not beyond the realm of possibility really.
TPAB
(o˘◡˘o)
Nana’s voice actor cosplaying as an admin. I’d love to see that.
Hahahaha! Anyway, two episodes left right?
You think all that will be about the admin capture??
Leap
(꒪⌓꒪)
Unless it somehow coincides with The Tempest, then yeah.
Keiko
(･o･｡)
Who knows….
I’m not sure where this season is going to end but that would be a good point to end it.
TPAB
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
You think they’ll shoehorn the tempest in the last 2 eps??
Leap
┬┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
I think they’ll split cour this one.
Keiko
“(._.(˙ ¯ ˙ )
Putting the tempest in would be rushing it really…
TPAB
(๑°o°๑)
Is another season anounced yet?
Leap
(＾_＾)
Not yet, but usually they announce those some weeks after the last episode right?
Keiko
(･o･”)
Yeah usually….
TPAB
(✿´ ꒳ ` )
Oh yeah, if its already in the works.
Some studio waits for the feedback befor they pull the trigger.
You guys want another season???
Keiko
w(°ｏ°)w
I’d be okay either way really.
If it got another season I’d watch it, if it didn’t I wouldn’t mind.
Leap
( ^o^);;
I only said it’s looking to have one.
Whether I want one would depend how this all plays out (xD)
TPAB
(/ ‘з’)/
lol, enthusiastic as ever
Well, i think we covered everything, right?
Leap
( ^o^);;
I think so.
Keiko
“(._.(˙ ¯ ˙ )
Yeah I think we’ve covered it all.
TPAB
(/ ‘з’)/
Then onto ratings.
7 for nijimin in a casket.
Leap
(°o°；)
Ooh, 7 for me too.
Keiko
ヾ(･ω･｡)ｼ
I’ll give it a 7 as well :’)
Leap
(;^o^ \)
We always seem to match up most in Site I realize (xD)
Keiko
(≧∇≦*)
Haha! That’s true.
ーー
Us three have finished talks for episodes 11-12 so next T(a)LK post from me is gonna be for Site’s finale… whenever I get that done (xD). Afterwards I’ll be dropping my Wrap Up for T(a)LK, which would be a “What If” post for the shows we watched (read TPAB’s here) —
SO stay tuned for all of that~!
