Shugo Chara 13: A Well Respected Otome

Good to see that Amu likes her new orders to seize Ikuto, now go forth and conquer with gusto!

It appears that my Academic Winter Offensive of 2008 is meeting some stubborn resistance from professor busy work and doctor useless online portions. Nevertheless since Feldwebel Amu is going to be occupied with the minutiae of sentry and patrol duty (aka fillers) until episode 19 my reports on her progress will be limited to only significant triumphs that include either belittling Tadase, besieging Ikuto, and smashing Utau’s pathetic attempts at securing Ikuto. Though in the odd chance that mien good Feldwebel eliminates that insolent teacher I will sing her praises on such a momentous achievement. That being said this episode did fulfill the laying siege to Ikuto and crushing Utau conditions…

If you were a flower growing wild and free
All Ikuto’d want is you to be his sweet honey bee.
And if he was a tree growing tall and greeen
All Ikuto’d want is you to shade him and be his leaves

All Ikuto wants is Amu, Amu will you be his bride
Take him by the hand and stand by his side
All he want is you, will you stay with him?
Hold him in your arms and sway him like the sea.

If you were a wink, he’d be a nod
If you were a seed, well he’d be a pod.
If you were the floor, he’d wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, you know he’d be a hug

I am quite surprised that Stripey has yet to sing Utau’s praises for her little music video and ho hum concert. Not that Utau is a terrible singer of course but a young otome ought not to rush in head long to woman hood or a singing career that would leave her with a red neck ex-hubby, a shaven head, and a cruel world just watching and waiting for her demise while placing bets in the hopes of getting a PS3. While I was most displeased with Ikuto’s retreat from his true feelings on Chriustmas eve, he at least he left Utau out in the cold. I hope Kampfgruppen Hinamori will soon eliminate that lousy teacher. I swear that no sane parent would feel “at ease” with such an incompetent hack around their sons and daughters. Still Yaya and Nadeshiko have no taste in music.

All he want is you, will you be his bride
Take him by the hand and stand by his side
All Ikuto wants is you, will you stay with him?
Hold him in your arms and sway him like the sea.

Well I guess the his refusal in giving violin accompaniment was something you still begrudge…duly noted.

Cool? Nien, though “King” Kiseki is most flammable mien good truppen.

I do admit that Amu-chan’s concert fatigues were an upgrade over that most unusual thing she wore in the manga. Good to see Amu-chan using the magic of her Charas in a most creative fashion, and hopefully Miki’s initial design will see some use in the not too distant future. Like a good stosstrupp Amu-chan was able to infiltrate to the enemy’s rear although she has much to learn about getting within hearing distance. Such was her stealth that she remained large unnoticed barring a lone confused sentry, whom she easily deceived, and Ikuto whose heart can sense when she is near. No doubt Utau is feels pressured by Hinamori’s superiority; after all Amu-chan boasts a 3 to 2 advantage and her Guardian Charas all get along famously with Yoru. Besides it is inevitable that both Ikuto and Amu will soon learn the whole truth about the relation between his key and her lock.

And she’s oh, so bad,
And she’s oh, so raspy,
And she’s oh, so famished,
In her body and her mind.
She’s a much disrespected loli about town,
Doing the worst things so unintelligently.

I am not too sure why EASTER refers to Ikuto and Utau as butterflies; heck they are not nearly as formidable as SD2 Butterfly Bombs. I guess the other Guardian Charas are good for something, the ad-hoc infiltration team literally brought down the roof over Utau’s head, such a shame that the hurricane barrage missed. Even Ikuto’s combat form is but a pale reflection of the power that Amu-chan wields. Such is the good Feldwebel’s martial prowess and peerless reputation that the X-eggs all cower and flee before her might. Amu-chan’s resolve to fight must have shaken Ikuto to the core despite his lack of expression; I suspect that the sting of Amu’s rejection left him shocked and awed. High Command is most impressed by her spirit and tenacity; truly she has not forgotten that she has a grateful Fatherland and a glorious struggle. Honor and blood for the Humpty Lock, cool and spice for the Humpty Key!

And she’s oh, so cool,
And she’s oh, so spicy,
And she’s oh, so healthy,
In her spirit and her mind.
She’s a well respected otome about town,
Doing the best things so meticulously.
