It was okay. Slightly less okay than the last few episodes in my opinion.

So first of all the whole "Lucky is unlucky"-thing is neat I guess, but it only further cements what a terrible character he is. As soon as he starts noticing he's unlucky he's willing to sacrifice himself and abandons his team just to prove a point. Way to go man.

And yes, I realise that this could very well play into the traumatic flashback and that this threw him off balance, but who am I kidding here, this guy was always a dickhead and we know it. So yeah, I was rooting for the bad guys in this one. And they did win but not for long I imagine.

On to better things: Stinger and Kotaro. This should've had happened earlier instead of being crammed into this episode but I liked it. I wouldn't have used the whole "Your younger brother needs an idol"-number myself but it works good enough. It also reminded me that I can't wait to see Stinger's brother in action.

Ikargen and Mardakko continue to entertain me, even though I don't like Mardakko's new personality. Her voice actress sounded funnier when she had this fake rage thing going on.

Lastly, what pissed me off most: All those three special Kyutamas they need are on Earth. All of them. Come on. They go to some backwater planet to fetch a Google Maps-Kyutama and then all of those legendary three ship building Kyutamas are on Earth? They really are going to stay there for the rest of the show, aren't they?
