I don't think it's actual Virgin Power. If she's not supposed to break her seal, and her seal actually is her virginity...why would she be in an arranged marriage?

I guess it is.

Because most of the island seems to have a vested interest in getting that seal broken?

It was Sugata's family who arranged it, and we have no idea yet of which faction they're working for.

As for why they haven't resorted to more extreme measures yet... probably best to chalk that one up to the Crux's general half-heartedness.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Well, yes, but he said it was a tradition that his family marry Maidens. I'd imagine that if probably-irreversible Bad Stuff Happens whenever a Maiden loses her virginity, someone would've noticed by now.

Guys, they have to make her summon her Cybody to break her seal, remember? So it can't be losing her virginity that breaks the seal.

It's when her Giant Robot loses its virginity.

Does anyone else think that the Fish Girl's story is a Scheherezade Gambit Head is letting her pull?

I'm not really getting that impression. It seems more like they're keeping her around for some reason than 'boss wants a new toy'.

@Sparky: That can't be right. She got her seal when she summoned her Cybody.

Well you know she seemed to go along pretty willingly with the seal-breaking, and it looks like they're taking care of her in the cage, so perhaps Head convinced her to side with them? According to Wako being a maiden kind of sucks what with all the rules and "never leave" stuff, so maybe she found it more profitable to get her seal off, hence why she shows no animosity to Head and vice-versa.

Wait... she was upset about Maidens being effectively imprisoned on the island, so she volunteered to be locked in a cage as a Crux bigwig's pleasure-slave?

Maybe so, but if I was informed that I'd be spending the conceivable future chained up with nothing but a thin nightrobe on in somebody's bedroom, I wouldn't exactly be expecting to come out the other side with my virginity intact.

Yaaaaaaaay, Wako Inner Mind Theater. I was wondering how long it would go without an Ouran reference.waii

And speaking of references, Little Black Sambo? The target audience probably wouldn't have got that.

That must be the most moronic, stupid, ridiculous, egregious case of Distracted by the Sexy in HISTORY. Really, I mean, TAKUTO, a Femme Fatale?

I agree with the poor kid. Nan da? Na-na-na NAN DA???

I LOVE THIS SHOW! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

Also, the COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED Twist Ending. All I can say is, Didn't See That Coming. It's so funny I can't even get mad at the Unfortunate Implications. What a pervert, seriously.

XDDDDD

Sometimes when I watched Gurren Lagann I couldn't stop crying. But this, like stuff I saw in Ouran, I just can't stop laughing. One. Laugh. At. A. Time! Ha! ... Ha!.... Ha!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

No, SRSLY, WTF? :D

I'll just quote myslef:

Star Driver came out... with a BANG. Here, the title Ginga Bishonen becomes PLOT RELEVANT. As in, CRUCIAL. DETERMINANT. It's literally the GLITTERING CRUX OF THE EPISODE!

Such wisdom and wit :þ

We actually learned some stuff in this episode:

1. The Glittering Crux are a big enough organization that they have minions.

1a. They also have a 'Science Division'.

2. The Maiden's Seals somehow effect things in the 'Real World'.

Implication: The good guys don't have infinite time: The loss of one seal may place the entire island in danger.

Speculation: The good guys are eventually going to have to break the seals of the remaining maidens in order to protect the 'innocent' inhabitants of the island, which plays right into the hands of the Glittering Crux

We've known about the science division since the second episode, when they gave formal introductions to the departmental heads.

We do now know for sure that the Crux don't know each other's identities, although the masks were obviously a major hint in that direction.

Seriously, there was so much that was great in this episode.

Also, I think it's safe to say that we now know how the fight between Suzaku and the Knight of One should have ended.
