Shugo Chara 05 – Feldwebel Amu invades the pitch

Mein Feldwebel good to see that your Hima-sense is tingling with excitement.

Normally I would decry this filler episode as it fails to introduce any new characters, however since Amu-chan invaded the pitch all will be forgiven. Besides hopefully from here on out Ran is going to have to lose her first among equals role and submit to a more equitable triumvirate.

Perhaps I am going crazy, but the OP has grown on me. I don’t care much for that incompetent teacher desipit his giving Feldwebel Amu her call sign. Himamori-san indeed, I wish I had more free time. I hope she enjoys every minute of it. I loved her eye-twitch it will be most useful to bending Ikuto to her will.

The enemy has been suppressed, begin your advance immediately. Schnell. Schnell!

However as much as my esteem for Amu-chan grows I still loathe Kuukai for wasting my time with his soccer/football team. I wished that it leaned more towards the Mario Strikers kind of game, mega strikes and all. I would have been most pleased had Amu-chan gone big and step on Kuukai like the bug that he is. Still for crushing the opposing team utterly and without mercy Amu-chan has earned an Iron Cross 2nd Class. The lamentations of Kuukai’s fanclub was music to my ears. Though I swear that Kuukai deliberately hit the ground to look you know where for you know what…the bloody pervert.

Thus did Feldwebel Amu gloriously crush ever club in Japan. It is for the sake of her own honor that she spared their lives.

Fujisaki-san was praise worthy for her Snake like ability to approach Amu-chan undetected. Hopefully Feldwebel Amu will have rectified this by the time she makes hauptmann. Yankee Fujisaki is also a glorious paragon of womanly scorn. While a good feldwebel is not easily frightened, I will concede that the Japanese Oprah is most terrifying. Yamada needed a good punch, so what if he is not the best. That’s when you know who is worthy of your devoted service. Still for bombarding Tadase with explosives all is forgiven.

It was also most reassuring to see that Amulet Heart can fight almost like a Gundam weaving about flak and materializing weapons seemingly out of now where. While I am no fan of pom poms I approve of the interim weapon system in the form of the Pom Poms of Power. Though I do hope for a weapon upgrade somewhere down the line. Lock on hasn’t worn out its welcome yet, but I hope it stays that way.

Yes, I will consider declaring Su a Hero of the Soviet union, but not yet…

Glad to see that Su is good for more than adding `desu to phrases. The carmel gambit was a masterful deception using what limited resources were at hand. Su is alright her strategy was nice~desu. It also appears that Amu-chan is growing up, her support for male friendship is but one step into the world of yaoi. In due course the otaku in her will burst forth and conquer Ikuto, who was unfortunately absent.

You say that now, but by the time you make hauptmann you will know precisely what this “friendship” was comrade fangirl Amu-chan.

I hear that the next episode should follow the manga more closely, though I am mostly interested in Miki’s first test of mettle. Ballet is okay, but engrish is better. At least it won’t bore me as much as Kuukai’s soccer match.
