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?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.
Does anyone else think that the Fish Girl's story is a Scheherezade Gambit Head is letting her pull?
That chain moves all by itself... Is she evil?
'''YOU SEE THIS DOG I'M PETTING? THAT WAS COURAGE WOLF.Cute, isn't he?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.
Well we don't know that This And That are part of the equation, the only thing we've seen her doing is telling stories and singing.
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.

What's precedent ever done for us?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:
Such wisdom and wit :þ

'''YOU SEE THIS DOG I'M PETTING? THAT WAS COURAGE WOLF.Cute, isn't he?I've never seen a male do it either.
'''YOU SEE THIS DOG I'M PETTING? THAT WAS COURAGE WOLF.Cute, isn't he?"So what? Is causing earthquakes against school rules?!"
Gods, the Crux are so wonderfully incompetent.
^ Raw: Distracted by the Sexy. Most of the example list.

What's precedent ever done for us?Still, it is seldom used in BATTLE. Though, well, this was...
TAKUTO WON THROUGH HIS BEAUTY!
'''YOU SEE THIS DOG I'M PETTING? THAT WAS COURAGE WOLF.Cute, isn't he?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

Seriously, there was so much that was great in this episode.
- "So why are we exercising outside?" "Fanservice!"
- "But... how do you know what my kind of guys are?" *points to enormous wall of posters*.
- The way the Crux's science department was rocking those pear-shaped, full-body clown outfits.
- Kanako calling someone else a 'slut'.
- Wako's latest telepathic Imagine Spot.
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.

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.
