Episode 21: Order is finally restored; temporarily at least. It gives every one a chance to mourn the death of their loved ones and think about where their lives are going. Ranka has the spot light in this episode; she finally decides what she wants to do… which totally came out of no whereO.o

Rating: 8/10

The episode begins with everyone still fighting. Klan finally finished growing back to her Zentradi form and is ready to kick ass with her giant gun.

MF1

Luca shows Alto and Ranka a special weapon his family manufactured called “Little Girl.” Once detonated it completely annihilates everything within a 50KM radius; the only problem is gathering all the bugs in one place. Since they know that Ranka’s song now attracts them though Luca says she will have to sing. Alto defends Ranka, but in the end she decides to do it herself. Before she sings her brother Brera appears and gives her a hug and says she doesn’t have to sing if she doesn’t want to.

So cute=3 Oni-chan Brera is hug monster!

She sings regardless. During the chaos of the Vajra and explosions she has another flashback of her child hood. Of a young boy pushing her into and escape pod it seems. (They young boy more than likely being Brera her older brother.) When all the Vajra have entered their area Ranka escapes with Alto and they Detonate “Little Girl”… Yeah… that doesn’t sound rightXD

MF3
Little Girl not so little.

mf215
During the 1/2 way scene they show this cute pic of crayon drawing LucaXD

After the choas is over everyone mourns over the death of Michele, and the president, and random soldier B in the last episode that cried like a girl when the Vajra spawn ate his faceO.o (it really did happen.)

mf216
Poor Klan’s Michele is dead D=

Ranka is asked to sing a song to give hope to all the people of Frontier who have lost so much. But in front of all the flashing cameras on television she exclaims that she will no longer sing. (And honestly if my singing attracted millions of human size bug people I can’t blame her.)

mf217
The end of Ranka’s career!?

Ranka runs into the forest to think I guess… and she finally runs back into Ai-kun who looks like he’s been eating too much Cakey… because he’s now as big as Ranka. After their encounter he starts to glow and a new creature emerges.

mf218
WHAT? AI-KUN IS EVOLVING!

Ranka calls up Alto in the middle of the night because she wants to show off her new pokemon Ai kun probably. When he shows up Ranka beats around the bush and asks that he show her how to make a paper air plane instead.

Mf219

After flying her paper airplane the new and improved Ai Kun Vajra (stage 2) grabs it out of the sky and flies over to them. Alto is freaking out and attempts to shoot it with his gun, but Ranka steps in front of him and tells him to stop. Alto yells at her to move, that the Vajra are what are causing the destruction; what killed Michele. Right as he about to shoot Ninja Brera appears and kicks his butt. Brera asks what Ranka really wants… and that is to return Ai Kun to the rest of his “friends.”

MF2110
Thats right… she chose her pokemon over smexy Alto

As she’s boarding Brera’s ship she yells out to Alto that she really did love him, and wanted to spend eternity with him. Her and Brera leave Frontier towards space.

My random Episode Impressions:

1. I loved this end shot of Ranka. I don’t know if it was shown before because I don’t usually watch the ending songs that much.

mf2111

2. Brera should have white hair… not blond. Blond and purple don’t go together very well… he only looks right when he’s in his ship.

3. I need Alto to teach me to make paper airplanes like that… mine crash into the floor the second they leave my handXD

4. Alto needs some serious help in his love life. Both the girls that like him have yet to be honest about there feelings till now. Sheryl is lieing about being sick and DIEING, and Ranka is just a walking mat for commands and never does what her heart tells her to do. Alto himself is too indecisive and is hurting both of them. Maybe he should stay away from girls in the entertainment business from now on… He ran away from home for a similar reason didn’t he?

5. They need to officially come out and say Brera is her brother… because its so obvious at this point its painful XD
