Quick Picks: Marvel Disk Wars Avengers Ep 22, Momo Kyun Sword Ep 8, Persona 4 Golden Ep 8, Rail Wars Ep 9

 
Marvel Disk Wars Avengers Ep 22: The heroes began to battle Loki and he pretend to be weak against them. Suddenly Loki was able to use the heroes and villians' powers as he has absorbed the disks before the machine was destroyed.
 
 
 
 
Loki used Diablo's alchemy to influence Hulk however Ed was about to get through him and Hulk punched Loki away. He then created a whirlwind to delay the heroes' active time limit but Iron Man trick Loki into claiming that everyone in the world is watching their battle live and giving insults to Loki.
 
 
 
 
Loki was furious and merged all the disks to create clones of himself. Each of them attacked the Avengers and their time is running out. Akira shouted to Iron Man not to give up and suddenly all the kids gained a new power which enable the heroes to last longer and stronger. They defeated the clones with Iron Man using Ultimate Uni Beam to clash with Loki's powers. 
 
 
It created a dimensional rip in the sky and started pulling everything in. Loki was finally defeated and was knocked into the rip with the disks. Nozomu could not hold on to Akira's hand but told his sons to be strong. He then let go and fell into the rip...
 
A pretty good episode with the Avengers taking on Loki who has almost unlimited powers. However he was defeated due to underestimate the kids and their bonds. Although I find it silly that Loki can get pissed off by Iron Man's insults which prove that although Loki might be scheming and power hungry, he can be immature and whining about losing and insults. However the cost was too great as once again, the disks fell into the rip with Loki and Nozomu. In the next episode, the heroes take a short break but a new evil arises in the form of something red...
 
 
 
Momo Kyun Sword Ep 8: Momoko and her companions discovered a hot spring inn and decided to try it out. They met up with Onihime, Enki, the Tenyo girls and Sumeragi. The girls were enjoying themselves with Sarugami, Inugami and Seimei on the other side.
 
 
After the bath, the girls discovered their under wears have gone missing (except Sumeragi) and they found that the Inn owner stole it. He confessed for the stealing but explained that an Oni demanded for young women under wears or else he will destroy the village.
 
 
 
The girls set a trap for the Oni (using Kushinda and some under wears as bait) When the Oni appear, it ignore Kushinda and go for the under wears instead (minus Sumeragi's underwear) The girls attacked but due to them going commando, they felt embarrassed. Momoko and Onihime knocked the Oni down but it ate the under wears and became stronger. Momoko and Kijigami tried to defeat it with their powers when suddenly the Oni ate Sumeragi' underwear and became very weak.
 
 
They then realised the Oni's source were young girls under wears which annoyed Sumeragi and she blasted it away. The Oni was brought away by Onihime and Enki and everyone continued on their journey with Sumeragi wanting to wear more sexy under wears...
 
Another fan service episode as the girls enjoying themselves in a hot spring inn. The running gag is Sumeragi is treated as an elderly woman which annoyed her more when the Oni ignored her underwear. But it turned out to be the secret weapon to defeat it. Onihime mentioned that the Oni is a runaway soldier who dislike their clans' rules and ran away. She claimed that an Oni should be evil in a honorable manner (Which kinda of conflict of they did usually do) but I sort of understand that one should not use underhand methods however it might bite Onihime back in the future. Overall, a fun episode with a hilarious ending...
 
 
Persona 4 Golden Ep 8: Two days before Christmas Eve, Yu asked the girls to come to his place on Christmas Eve and the girls thought they are spending the eve with him alone. However it was the guys's suggestion to have a party and they cook the food.
 
 
The girls started fantasizing on their date. (Naoto was the most far fetched as she think the girls and Yu are trying to murder her) Finally on the actual day, the guys will tied down at work and at home, leaving Yu to handle the cooking alone. Rise came in first but Yu asked her to buy a large fish at the supermarket. Next came Chie and Yu asked her to collect the tomatoes while he went to pass clothes for Nanako at the hospital. Yukiko came by and was instructed by Yu to look over the stove.
 
 
 
Ebihara who was asked by Teddie to help Yu came by and Chie accidentally throw a tomato at her coat. Eventually all the girls met at each other and got into a fight. Naoto came wearing protective gear and thought Yu (who just came back) was trying to murder her with the others...
 
 
 
The next day, everyone celebrate Christmas with Nanako (The girls were pissed at Yu) and soon the new year has arrived. A day later, Yu caught a fever and had a dream of Marie saying goodbye to him. Yu woke up in tears but could not remember Marie at all...
 
A funny Christmas episode (in August!) with the girls getting the wrong ideas of celebrating with Yu alone. In the game, you can only date one girl for Christmas or hang out with the guys. I am not surprised the show actually get everyone to celebrate Christmas together. But from the way the end of the episode, we might be seeing Yu and Marie shipping together. As recalled from the previous episode, Marie finally remember who she is and the comb like object disappeared together. Everyone including Yu forgot about her existence but now it seems things are going to change once the gang goes to the ski resort in the next episode...
 
 
 
Rail Wars Ep 9: The carriage continue to enter the tunnel but it kept titling on one side. Sho kicked hard onto the wall to counterbalance but injured his leg. During the journey, Aoi nearly fell off the carriage but Naoto caught hold of her.
 
 
 
They were reaching the last two curves but the carriage is not slowing down. Naoto and Aoi decided to use their weight to counterbalance it which they did it. The next curve was even longer and the two of them are not heavy enough to shift the weight. Haruka and Sho joined in and finally went through the curve.
 
 
They were reaching the station but the carriage did not slow down. Sho tried to pull the carriage back but failed. Naoto and Haruka decided to jump onto the platform with Aoi got off last before the carriage crushed into a barrier. They passed the organs to the waiting team and were finally tired out.
 
 
 
Naoto claimed he wasn't a good leader however everyone agreed in his judgements and want him to continue on as deputy leader. A few days later, the team passed the simulation and were walking to Nao's concert with Sasshou. Aoi looked at a dress and Naoto thought she like it. She denied it but he told her she looked nice in a dress. She acted tough and claimed she will work in Public Security and respected his decision to be a train driver...
 
After much obstacles, the team is more united and the relationship between Naoto, Aoi and Haruka is actually much better. Aoi now respected him more as a leader because of his decisions making and he save her from being flung out. Haruka now treat Aoi as a rival since they both like Naoto and she too has a tragic past claiming someone close to her lose their live due to an organ transplant incident.
 
Even though Naoto wanted to be a train driver but for now, he will take his current role seriously and everyone is on board with his leadership. Next episode, a foreign visitor board their train however it is a start of a crazy wild goose chase for the gang!
