| Episode: | 9: A Great Battle!! Beyond the Love and Gunfire! |
| Synopsis | |
| At Plavi, Ojo's brother Naohiro comes by and insists that Ryo stop going out with her due to her upcoming arranged marriage. Shizuka uses the high-tech spyware she has access to, and determines that Ojo will meet her fiance for the first time and become formally engaged in a ceremony aboard a cruise ship. Shizuka is willing to help Ryo interfere, since she wouldn't be satisfied if she "won him over without a fair fight". She comments that the locale aboard a ship at sea will suit their plans, in case "things get messy"... | |

| Stretch: One crazy episode. Sometimes a series turns 90 degrees without warning and serves up an episode which is totally ludicrous (and totally hilarious) in comparison to what the previous ones had you expecting. This is just such an episode. Best of all was the odd costume Shizuka (almost) chose to wear during this operation... [Forbin 05-27-2005] Agreed! This is one of my favorites. The Sailor Men versus the MiB's was great! Stretch 10/06: I was thinking that this episode couldn't possibly be as good once I'd already seen it, but there were so many neat touches that it just had me grinning throughout, or exclaiming "Oh God!" to myself. Maybe the fact that I was continually pausing and taking a closer look at frames than usual helped out. One of the best things about FA is that it doesn't take itself too seriously! Normally I try to limit these mini-episode reviews to six images, but this one demanded a couple more. | |
