I found this episode a little less exciting than the first two. There’s some discussion of relationshippy stuff, a mission that deliberately excludes Iku, wheelchair hijinks, and a bit of a cliffhanger at the end.

So part of the reason why Iku joined the library task force is that when she was a schoolgirl, a mysterious guy saved her from the thought police. So she’s on a quest to find the “prince” from her past. Is it a coincidence that Dojo appearers to be addicted to a soda with a very particular name?

At a mission briefing, Hikaru sits right next to Iku and she is dismayed:

Everyone’s going on a mission, but Iku is left behind to escort a dignitary in a wheelchair. She’s not happy when this is revealed during the briefing:

The guys talk about this and say that there’s a double standard going on.

She practices for her mission:

Hikaru sees Iku before he ships out. He asks if they are going to talk about what he said to her (he likes her). She says they’ll talk about it later:

The mission seems to go well:

Iku’s mission goes ok to, except right at the end, she’s surrounded by bad guys!

Dojo is concerned!

Iku looks like she’s ready for action!

What will happen next?!!!!!!
