Infinite Stratos S2 - ep04

Things start back in with Ichika fighting for his life against this mysterious lady. That it seems that she isn't so mysterious since she has quite the mouth on her. That throughout the fight she is spilling all her secrets to a point that Ichika doesn't even have to ask her anything. It clear that once she steals Byakushiki that she is going to kill Ichika, because dead men tell no tales. It seems that she is part of this evil organization called Phantom Task, that they were responsible for kidnapping Ichika all those years ago. Although throughout the fight it seems like Ichika is doing pretty well since the environment is suited to his enemy. However he gets careless trying to end things quickly, which results in him getting himself captured.

This is when Tatenashi appears to save Ichika. It is quite interesting to see how her unit manipulates water, or at least something that appears to be water. That with this she is able to turn the tables on the enemy while protecting Ichika. This leads to the enemies carelessness which results in her unintentionally freeing Ichika. Now as she has failed her mission she processed to flee, with the support of Silent Zephyrus which was the IS that was seen earlier this season. It seems it was stolen from Britain. Now as they escape they leave a final surprise to allow them to make their escape.

Now with everything over it seems we get to the end result of everything that has happen. That Tatenashi was sticking close to Ichika because they knew someone was going to make a move on him. That she was to act as his body guard, that with everything resolved it looks like things are going to quite down for a while. This also brings her back to the issue of Cinderella competition, and informs Ichika of the fact that the person that got his crown was given the privilege to share a room with him. This brings Ichika's attention to what she is holding in her hand once he gets over his outrage that he wasn't informed of this fact. It seems that Tatenashi isn't going to be leaving his side anytime soon. Then there seems to be raising tension with Phantom Task, see appears to be a young clone of Ichika sister. Whether it turns out that there is a third sibling in the family that Ichika doesn't know about, it also seems possible it could be a female clone of Ichika or a clone of his sister. However it is unclear on who she harbors a grudge against. Right now it seem likely that she is a clone of his sister given how she knows about Laura and how is seem her grudge is point toward Ichika's sister.
