wow ya wtf. I figured she can use the nanomaterials from the ship but her mental model will stick around but it doesn't seem like it? I mean, doesn't a battleship have more nanomaterials than a submarine? Seems like she just merged with Iona so Iona is back but much better than before(more processing power at least) and Takao used everything she had. I guess in a way, he is also her captain now though I don't she was thinking of it in that sense. Here's the thing though. Can't they just do what they did with Kirishima? Put her core in something since that should remain live in all the previous cases we've seen and she can use it since it wouldn't require nanomaterials or is this totally different? Honestly, looking at it from her perspective, she realized that Iona already beat her to Gunzou and that he will never be her captain but since she loved him and wanted to save him, she sacrificed herself to make sure Iona lives since she reasoned it would be his wish. Having said that, I don't know if it would be his wish. He wanted Iona to abandon him and live on but not for Takao to sacrifice herself for Iona to live on.

I'm glad they didn't end up killing Gunzou or Iona tbh because I feel that if either one died, it would make for a more powerful show but it would kill the strong interaction between them that's been building up since the beginning of the show. The moments they had together as it was sinking were probably the closest they've had. Iona crying wasn't unexpected, same with the alone part once you consider the situation. I think Takao will eventually come back. I don't feel like they've completely taken her out of the picture. She will likely end up like Kirishima at least by the end of the show. I just can't see them leaving her out but they needed a fix and a sacrifice made it that much powerful. Iona also seems to be a lot more powerful now.

Kongo and Maya though, would've never imagined that Kongo would not be the flagship anymore and that Maya would be a puppet. Definitely surprising since it seems like 400 and 402 have control of the whole situation. Wonder if the yamato character that I heard about would eventually show up since two submarines can't possible be the leader of the fog then again, surprise? lol. Can't wait for the next show, to see the reunion of everyone and hopefully good news about Takao.

I think the core is still there but there's no nanomaterial to reconstruct the mental model. ya, that was pretty rough for Kongo. I guess now she feels alone and finally understand them.

Takao might make an appearance in the last episode of the season. I highly doubt it's going to happen before that and to be honest I don't even think it's all that likely that she'll appear in the end of the season either but it could be. It does look like they're trying to go roughly the same way the manga did just in a different fashion, as in I think the end results should be the same but if it takes too much screentime they'll change stuff to make it fit.

That being said, can't really gauge how likely it is for takao to make an appearance... if they're trying to get back to the mangaplot not before long into s2 if at all. If they're going for a cliché happy end she'll probably show up in the last episode of this season.

About the 2 subs, yeah you're right about that I'll put it in a spoiler again although it doesn't really spoil anything but it's manga only
+ Show Spoiler [the two subs] +

Btw Takao's a Heavy Cruiser not a battleship but yes, I would have thought she had enough nanomaterials to make Iona, 401 and herself (the mental model) but that's apprently not the case... and yes the new 401 does look a lot more fancy so she probably got upgrades with the spare nanomaterials instead of Takao mental model

She's had the most change so far in the anime and it was slower so it feels more natural so to speak compared to Takao or Hyuuga who are tied for the most dramatic XD

hmm maybe not, hard to tell. Isn't the anime one cour though? Doesn't that mean like 2 more episodes before it finishes or something? I hope they extend it to another cour and add more from the manga(or their own twists) if that's the case. Ya, makes sense. Would explain why I heard some parts are similar to manga and others are different. Probably same ending as well or maybe lol.

well, at least we agree that she'll make an appearance again. As long as it's not at the end of the anime(end of first season is fine though), then I'm satisfied lol. We need more Takao action! XD I actually thought that now that Iona is out of commission, Takao will led them but first, they'll obviously find a way to rescue Iona and Gunzou. Too bad my prediction wasn't right lol but seeing Iona willing to sacrifice herself(mental model which is quite big) to make sure that Gunzou lives even if she's not with him was very heart warming and I'm glad that they are back together. Takao will come back, I don't doubt it. Read your spoiler, interesting. I won't ask for more details since I plan to read the manga when I get time to do so, so I don't want to spoil myself lol.

Only heard about yamato from someone in this thread but figured it's best to wait until either they reveal it or I read manga. Not sure if I'll end up reading the spoiler but thanks for the mention. ya, true, heavy crusier, not battleship my bad. Well, maybe she debated it and figured that it's best she puts everything into it to help Gunzou and Iona with a stronger 401 then have her there like Haruna which is only a mental model. It's not as helpful against a heavy crusier or battleship when you are a mental model even though you still have the abilities(can't get to America in this case without a ship). It's ok, they are just building up excitement when we get Takao back. Btw, if she's back to being the core, can she still hear what they say and such? I mean, I recall Haruna communicating with Kirishima when she was just a core so it's just that she can't talk or see Gunzou and the rest anymore, mostly communication.

She is trying to hold onto her old self. Can't blame her for sticking to the admirality code. I would say she's the interesting one since you can see her unraveling slowly. Everyone else, they fell in love with Gunzou or Iona right after they got sunk but it's taking it's time with Kongou. As a side question, she isn't the flagship anymore but she still has control of her ship? It didn't seem like it at the end with the errors and such but wasn't sure.

Sad for Kongou. She was playing the villain role, and now she just got raped... So I guess her only redemption is joining blue fleet?
If she has been relieved of duty, that probably means that someone is even higher ranked than her...

I was really hoping Gunzou would die. All that build-up... I feel cheated -_-

ya, I believe there is someone, not much details without manga though lol. Gunzou and Iona are the heart of the show. They'll never die! (I hope lol). I guess you can blame Takao since technically, no one else was going to be able to rescue them and Gunzou would've stayed and eventually died down there if she didn't save them.

if they really killed off Takao then they are retarded.

Takao should be fine -_- Maybe even better, now that we have IonaXTakao, physically lol.

Did Arpeggio get enough pre-sales to guarantee a second season or reboot from this 'bad end' or something?

I mean I know we went complete anime original, but they're in the middle of the sea, nowhere near America and being hounded by 400 and 402.

That said I would laugh so freaking hard if the near death experience makes Gunzo re-live Facility 4 in ep11 and then ep12 ends the season with + Show Spoiler [minor manga?] + turning up. I mean... Someone has to turn up to take responsibility of 400 and 402 right?
