[Frontier]

I think this was a really great Is episode, showing how she has developed from the beginning and is becoming more than just a cute robotic assistant for Aruto, why she's so important to Aruto and the whole Zero-One deal, and letting her really shine as a character. She even finally acknowledges her big brother!

I would've liked to have seen more Was but it does put some more emotional weight behind Shining Hopper.

Gotta love how they hype you up for a form only for it's debut fight to be a wash because it's not ready...which makes it all the more satisfying when we get it's proper debut and it wipes the floor with a major villain in a satisfyingly flashy action sequence. I just love Zero-One's speed and fluid motion and how Shining Hooper takes that runs with it up to 11.

RIP Assassin-Chan. You made Dodo's seem intimidating and were a nice quirky mini-boss.
