I've thought that this series had really dropped since the introduction of Imitacio, and after an entire year of this arc, we've progressed from Baiser and everyone losing to Imitacio. To Baiser losing on purpose to Imitacio.

I don't know where the series is going from here, but it doesn't seem nearly as fun as the first half of the series was.

Sister Gigant is certainly getting up there, I wonder if she's getting off on doing this sort of thing judging by her expression at the end.

I wonder if she's doing for herself or for someone else.
We do not know much about that.

at this point shes like Justin Law from Soul Eater, except probably just an intentional agent of chaos

Dude..... wow.... I have no words. There are no words to describe how amazingly good this manga is. Able to combine ecchi, romance, drama and action in such a flawless way it's... this is truly the definition of something "ineffable".
I don't even like ecchi in my yuri, and yet this is one of my favorite yuri mangas of all time. Literally makes me want to buy the volumes twice each

At her core, she's still the same lovestruck girl from the first pages who loves magical girls more than anyone.

And if Lord Enorme can be redeemed, maybe... just maybe... Magia Baiser can be too.

I really hope the mascots are up to something interesting; now that we're done with this arc (presumably).

In the true spirit of villainny, she wins even when she loses. All according to keikaku, sasuga Baiser-sama!

Momo is clearly fighting on the wrong side...

That was quite the plan, Baiser. But so very true to Baiser indeed. :D

Not quite sure what to make of Gigant's smile there.

Sasuga Magia Baiser-sama, bringing yuri to fruition. Oh and the new magical girls as well that's also cool
I'm a bit antsy because I want more info on Vena's larger plan now and it would be interesting to see the White mascot and the standard magical girls interact with the Shio-chans

"Ugh. Momo." Few words, but powerfully contemptuous.

Are you sure you're reading the same series as everyone else here?

well the shio chans arc was all right, but I'm glad its over since that means we're getting back to the meat of the manga which is baiser and friends vs tres magia.

I love that the random kabob eating scenes from last chapter turned into a minor plot point.

Does she need to, though? As long as she can control her La Verita, Baiser the best antagonist Tres Magia et al. can ask for, as she exists solely to highlight or even to bring out their heroic qualities. Sure, the whetstone grates on the blade but you wouldn't want to trade it in for another blade because they'll both get dull eventually.

I get a feeling that with the redemption of Lord Genome, Tres Magia is due for expansion, as well.

"Need" is a strong word. But "want"? Refer back to the very first pages. Utena never WANTED to be a villain. She seems to have accepted this side of herself by now, but if we consider her character, I think it's a very plausible situation for her to have in mind. Utena doesn't just consciously follow narrative convention, she outright enforces it, so an ultimate final showdown has to be on her mind. And what happens after that?

The most likely thing I can imagine is she's eventually faced with a big Choice. ... and being this manga, she'll probably take a third path anyway. Maybe the light and dark mascots will both turn out to be terrible grifters and we get a crazy teamup that dissolves the boundaries of heroism and villainy, I dunno.

But seeing as she's guided Enorme to the light, maybe the next step in her mind is trying to do the same with Matama and Nero?
