Chapter was kind of 'eh' but I guess it serves as a nice cooldown after 40.

It should be noted that Reisen's Trans-AM differs from the 00 Gundams' animation in one very important detail: The actual Gundams have their movement speed tripled so they leave behind afterimages when they move.

Reisen doesn't actually move that fast - she just generates illusions of her shooting things to simulate zipping around at top speed, and that's also why the number of lasers that actually show up on the target side is way smaller than the number she 'fires.'

It's a pretty neat detail.

Also, TEAM VAMPIRE ver. 2 of Remilia and Kurumi, leaving 39.0. (Why the heck is Kurumi a 2.0 cost) (And Blitz, I think you forgot to update the deployment list from the last stage)

Actually, never mind. Let's go with the teams that get us more dialogue. Scarlet Team for 38.5 left over.

As an aside, (since the plot points for this wasn't how it went in IN canon) Reisen has some nerve to be treating Rabbit this way when she did the exact same thing herself.

Except, y'know, worse. Because she's a deserter. When there wasn't actually any fighting to run away from.

One of the dumbest cases of this was the final boss of SRWZ3-2, where everyone had a pre-battle conversation with him, all of which boiled down to "I'm a god now!" "Shut up and die." or "Wanna join me in godhood?" "No, now die."

I did like Sanae's talk with Kaguya, as it seemed pretty apt.

And the addition of Rabbit really does make IN's plot even more of a beautiful mess.

It's pretty nice that they decided to approach adapting the SSiB plot from a completely different starting point than the books.

Also Okuu and Orin were pretty great this chapter.

A little late on this, but I wanted to say that I find it odd this game has Yukari and Satori meeting face-to-face for diplomatic meetings concerning the Underworld. You'd think someone like Yukari would be extra-wary of showing up in from of a mind reader.

My favourite detail about the launch is that they read that rockets from the outside world are launched from atop a 'red line' because it takes less energy to break orbit, and so they improvise by rolling out a red carpet to launch their own rocket from.

I'm still annoyed that they didn't go with an interpretation of Reimu's Yin-yang Orbs being used as Funnels or Bits.

I mean, that's basically how she uses them in her IN Last Word.

There's one last step in Yukari's grand plan that only gets shown on in CiLR:

Yukari invites Eirin to the 'beach' party at the end of SSiB and serves her the Lunarian sake, which Eirin recognizes immediately. Eirin is baffled because by all accounts both Remilia and Yukari were sent packing immediately and had no opportunity to grab anything like that. The narration then says that since Eirin and Kaguya had chosen to live 'as humans' in Gensoukyou, Yukari felt she needed to teach them to be wary and cautious of Youkai, because after all that's the role of humans who dwell in there.

Meanwhile FMW just has Eirin, Yuyuko and Yukari start warming up to each other and becoming buddies after Eirin makes clear her decision to stay on Earth.

I love the sprite Tenshi has for taking damage.

Also Meeko is pretty bad at this whole 'evil plan' thing. "All of them hate me for almost making Utsuho blow herself up. I bet if I make her blow up FOR REAL this time everyone will see that I'm right."
