Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance

So Shinomiya isnt actually Progenitor Zero and the real villain is still out there. Two episodes left to wrap all this up feels rushed. Great action this week no question but I am worried about how they land this ending

Towa burning her own lifespan away then getting her ribs shattered on an x-ray display was rough to watch. She went full suicide mode against Kuragi and still lost. Thank god the tank squad showed up when they did because that was looking real bleak

Nanoha deleting that whole map after nine episodes of watching everyone else struggle was exactly what I needed. The EXTM cannon firing off felt like a homecoming. That pink beam vaporizing the tree and the egg fields was pure catharsis

The dogeza scene broke me. Four girls begging to be arrested just for a chance to save their friend and Hayate bowing back at them. The voice acting on Aoi's crash-out was raw. Nanoha was so silent in that scene and that said everything

Shinomiya treating empowered Towa like a training dummy was genuinely terrifying. That severed arm and the green blade reveal had me shaking. The girl took a full power-up and still got dragged by the ponytail

Towa's entire history dumped in one episode felt like I was skimming a wiki page not watching a story unfold. The emotional beats hit but they hit so fast I couldn't sit with any of them

Nanoha is here to Mess Up Your Stuff (because she wouldn't swear).

Bad news: The Big Bad is looking pretty strong right now. Good news: Nanoha has completed her mission objective, so now she's available to check in and see how everyone else is doing.

I teared up hard when Aizawa was crying while holding bleeding Towa and telling her she gave them a place to belong. Then Kuragi transforms into a bone horror and the girls still form that battle line together. That's the whole show right there

The Fate timer bit was perfect. Ten seconds on screen and she actually stuck to it. Watching her effortlessly school those elite monsters made all those earlier villain buildup episodes feel a little silly though.

why couldn't they just talk for literally three minutes in that subway station. sheena was right there trying to explain where her powers came from but towa just had to draw her sword. classic forced anime misunderstanding

towa really went full crashout mode this week. taking everyone's powers and walking into the police station by herself is insane. she really thinks she can solo shinomiya after framing her like that

Towa forcefully stealing everyone's powers just to keep them safe and face the danger alone broke me. That photo frame on the phone at the end had me crying so hard

Interesting how to see the other Hunters will fit into the rest of the season.

I kinda knew this moment would happen, I just thought it might come up in a few episodes.

Nanoha pulling up that full multi lock on targeting grid straight out of Gundam Seed was absurd and incredible. Pure beam spam energy on those parasites

My chest hurt when Seena and Towa locked eyes across the train tracks. They were just hanging out as regular friends and now they have weapons pointed at each other

Mana murdering Eiji's entire toxic office staff so he never had to go back to work was absolutely wild that entire backstory took me completely off guard

Still calling this a Nanoha show when Nanoha and Fate are practically ghosting the plot feels like total bait and switch

I nearly gagged seeing that family get crushed right after taking the photo with Towa and Seena
