Questions answered, new questions come up.
Zetsubou will ensue are there's still more stuff to happen.

Also, this author can't be serious with those character names.

Finally Chaika's background story. I saw it coming, but she being a orphan is pretty twisted.

Interesting how the emperor didn't have any daughter, now I am curious about that strange flashback Chaika had like 2 episodes ago when Gaz was being killed.

Also, what is the real goal of Chaikas? Is the emperor coming back once they recover this whole body?

So many doubts...

Nothing really surprising. It was already hinted that the Chaikas were artificial constructs of some sort, and the revelations with Vivi strongly pointed to orphans with implanted memories. That could leave hundreds of potential Chaikas. That much was obvious. That there was never any daughter was slightly interesting, but the one they supposedly killed may have been a test subject or even just a device to set up a Chaika "legend" to further their role.

It's also been strongly indicated that there was a trigger for the Chaika transformation. Based on Vivi and where this appears to be going, I'd most likely say something along the lines of hating the current world order/society. Not unlikely to appear in orphans, and certainly in line with the emperor's supposed grand goal.

If all of the Chaika are normal girls, why the scar on the neck?

Episode interesting, the veil of mystery that has long permeated the story is this fall brings a certain excitement and involvement in the narrative.
The plot increases its charm thanks to utime events.
The drawings are of a more than good while the animations are quite sufficient.
I am very curious to see what will happen in the next episode.

So much plot twist revealed this episode! Hell yeah.

I thought that twin tailed girl might just be a body vessel for Gaz to revive himself... I just wonder what is her purpose?

Also, love that we got to see our beloved unicorn again this episode. :D

So.. I wonder what path Chaika will choose now that the truth's out. Avenging Battle? Will she decide to rebel against his "father's" plan?

But damn, that old drunk man was still able to draw something half decent. Sasuga.

I have a feeling Chaika will give up looking for the remains.

The Chaika's are catalysts to recreate the emperors ideas in a new body, or maybe in plant some form of his conciousness into them, or that miku looking girl. Someone he will try to resurrect himself, and it will either fail, or be he'll be instantly killed again since their are only so many episodes left.

I hope it will end bitsweet, where White Chaika gives her father a funeral and takes on a new name, and lives with/marries Toru, or maybe Red Chaika. either is okay since they both like Toru.

But I also have a feeling someone may die so that can't happen, or when Gaz's remains are given a funeral, all the chaika's will either die via decapitation or just disappear because magic is keeping from them was keeping them alive, or possible turn back into whatever person they we're before and lose their memories of time as Chaika.

Sorry if this all has no structure to it, but I'm just throwing my ideas out there.

Really nice episode. So many questions still left unanswered (can't and don't want to figure them out yet) like why Vivi "turn" into one, the neck wound, the white hair itself and who is that twin tailed loli!

Bit convenient exposition by the kraken, and even more convenient how toru instantly found chaika after walking just a little into that facility... but when a show entertains me this much I'm more than willing to look past these small flaws.

I don't watch as much anime as before...

Now this is an interesting episode, not sure did the memory alteration experiment change the girl's appearance and gave them the neck scars as well, I'm a little confused as the heroes said they cut off Chaika's head last time so not sure could that be linked to the scars of all the Chaikas now or it has nothing to do with it?

Now the main mystery is that lifeforms creation and the Emperor's true goals.

What I really want to know is how that chick in the pod was. Hmm....

Man, now that was interesting! So the Chaikas had their memories altered after-all. Makes sense as in Vivi's case, something similar happened. Now I wanna see all of their actual faces without the Chaika facade.

Awwwn, so they are all fake :(
Ahhh, who cares, you're the real in my heart, white Chaika :)

That plan from the Gaz Empreror was really twisted, gathering little girls to search for his dismembered body. What I don't get is that all the heroes are sure to have beheaded his daughter. Did he really had in fact a daughter, but that scientist believe that she's dead? We also got a loli supreme weapon out of nowhere :O
''Well, I have to tell you that all the Gaz Emperor did was for this loli in the glass. Yep, he was obscessed with little girls.''

Akari still mocking her brother when in a shitty situation. Please, never change nor die.

Chaika getting captured is becoming a common thing.
I see.. so they were implanted with magic from way back then.
But still wondering the part about when why and what trigger the transformation though.
So who's the thing that reacted to them ? The real girl that was killed or what ?
She has heterochromia eyes.. nice.

After seeing what happened to Vivi, I'd had a feeling that the Chaikas were all really brainwashed girls. Glad to see we finally got an answer for that mystery.

Those pigtails on the new girl keep reminding me of Hatsune Miku... xD

Another Shocking Truth!!!!

The twin tail Chaika from lab looks like Hatsune Miku.

Oh My!!!! Ursula is my type <3 She is adorable <3 I sense Cyril X Ursula????

Here's my question. Why there are many Chaikas? To gather remains easily?

It was a good episode, but the "big revelation" didn't come as a surprise at all :D I mean we pretty much knew or could guess all of this since like the first episodes of season 1. Going further, the true agenda of the emperor was probably to be able to revive himself later on, by gathering all his remains. I can't understand how the characters didn't realize this so far, and they'll surely come to regret it later :/

That explains why there are so many Chaikas, but wonder if there's an explanation for the signature eyebrows (and why Vivi who's still undergoing Chaika-fication hasn't gained them yet)

If Chaika and that catgirl can speak the language of the fallen Empire, why didn't they speak it to each other since Chaika's command of whatever language she usually speaks in this show is so poor? Why didn't the magic researcher speak it to the two Chaikas? It's over-committed to Chaika's broken speech gimmick.

The kraken couldn't have met the blue Chaika that long ago, despite his words, since Gaz was killed and the Chaikas created only about five years ago.

I imagine some of the Chaikas failed and died in their quests to recover the remains. The white Chaika finding a grave of one of them seems like it'd be an interesting event, but I suppose it's too late for something like that now she's been outright told the backstory.

Okay so if the Chaikas are not clones (as I had thought), but rather orphans with implanted memories, why do they all look the same? Although some commenters have said their body types are different, which I didn't notice. Okay if it's true the Chaikas are orphans, then why the heck does the red and white Chaikas talk with a broken speech pattern? People say the language they're speaking in is a second language to them, but everybody else from the empire including this researcher servant of the emperor are speaking without broken speech. Lilia Chaika also spoke fluently. Is the red and white Chaika orphans from some third country which has a different language or something?
