Doctor Ver will never die. He lives on in all of our hearts, making progressively sillier faces as he transcends any need to be even vaguely on-model.

Also, I like how literally everything about Adam's design appears scientifically calibrated to make him appear as the biggest piece of poo poo there ever was.

Also Also - I usually shrug at most of the design work on trash Noise, but I actually really love the design of the Yamata-No-Orochi looking one at the end.

This episode reminded me about Tsubasa's messed up family situation, so now I'm angry at fictional people.

Me from the past doesn't know how right he was. Why are the commander and Tsubasa even working with this guy, let alone treating him like he's a loving king? He runs a minor government department that just got all its poo poo wrecked - you don't need this guy on-side.

he's their dad

also he runs the part of the government that's directly above them, and they're a government organization.

SONG are with the UN, aren't they?

I have faith in an intelligence agency's ability to get a guy fired. That they haven't done this since it became clear the guy was insane at least [however old Tsubasa is now] ago suggests unpleasant things about them.

I'm going to go out on a limb that the show whose lore consists of a feverish haze of conspiracy theories thrown into a big pot and boiled to perfection is going to imply some unkind things about the government of Japan/The UN.

Probably really low, considering that we've seen Anti-LiNKER derived from the LiNKER recipe have actual, measurable effects on the attuned Gear users despite them not actually knowing what it was at the time.

I forget. Wasn't LiNKER supposed to have bad side effects or something.

Nodosaur

It's not the LiNKER itself that's dangerous, it's the forcing of the body to boost compatibility rates with the Symphogear, and them not being able to handle the strain. The LiNKER developed by F.I.S. diminishes this and Maria, Shirabe, and Kirika have a higher rate of compatibility than Kanade did, so with those two facts combined they're more or less able to use it more safely.

This but he's going to half rear end it and only end up being in partial control of her body. All he'll be able to do is blurt out a few lines from time to time.

The old Kanade-style LiNKER was pretty dangerous on its own, by appearances. In the flashback scene about Kanade's past, she was still bleeding everywhere and screaming in agony despite not having Gungnir activated. The Ver-model LiNKER seemed to pretty much eliminate the side effects, as the only time we see the girls suffering from using it is when they're trying to do something really dangerous or when the effect is running out mid-combat.

I particularly like how Europe in the Symphoverse is an anarchic, poverty-stricken hellhole... except for Greece, which is doing just fine.
