Episode 9: Mizuno's First Love

This episode is all about introducing us to Mizuno and Marino, the twins.

Mizuno is a quirky girl. Riding ontop of a bus, being able to talk to animals, and is very cheery in loving in all that she does.

Meanwhile, her twin, Marino, is a bit more down to earth. But she's also an opp for the Glittering Crux. Serving as one of their higher ups while doing her best to make sure no one finds her sister, the West Maiden.

Both are likable in their own ways, with Mizuno getting most of the spotlight in terms of character as one should expect. Her sister however deals with more of the plot: As the Brigade realizes that in order to defeat Takuto, they'll need to break the next seal and thus level up their Cybodies.

Unfortunately it seems as though no one has uploaded the themes of either of the two girls, so I can't link them. As such, we'll highlight another way this episode stands out: It's the first to not have a Maiden song playing once the action starts. This, I now showcase the Battle version of Filament, which is the fight song that plays during the Cybody fight in this one.

This episode is very straightforward in what it does; with not alot of moving parts so as to easier set up the next segment of the story. And while it leaves me with not a whole lot to talk about, I did still enjoy the episode for what it was all the same. Liked the little shout outs the episode had here and there too.
