Macross Delta Episode 8 : Heinz Likey

Right, so when we left the Immelman, Mirage and Pixie they had been captured by Booger and the Blowhard Knights.

Happily we get right into that as Booger personally punches Immelan.

SHLUB DOWN!

High point of the episode.

Anyhow, despite the eagerness of Booger and the White Knight of Windermeer to execute Immelman and Pixie we know better than to expect that. They're special.

The joke is on Roid and Hermann though, Immelman, Mirage and Pixie don't know anything at all.
Nor, at this point do we as...

But... don't they already have it?

Meh.

Meanwhile in defense of the other Musical Girls Messer is having... a bad time.

But not because of this.

No, Messer having to shoot people in person rather than in a jetmech has apparently triggered him

He still manages to escort the other Musical Girls to regroup, at which point they remember they have bullshit musical hologram clones which they then employ to rescue Immelman and Co.

These sure would have been handy in avoiding capture to start with, you know.

These... Sliceable Holograms of the Future.

I for one already noticed.

And then they all made it to their ships and began the obligatory dogfighting to J-Pop. Immelman has to fight the Mind-Controlled Catman Dad from the last episode, but is saved from killing them by Pixie running to the battle and singing at the Cat Dad.

Rune erect, Catdad is saved.

The Blowhard Knights of Windermere call in Prince Heinz now to reinforce the mind control they're using on the planet. Musical Girl Squad notices that the ruins amplify this 'Song of the Wind'. So much so that it starts to effect Messer, who turns out to be Roidrage infected and pointedly NOT cured of it by any of the J-Pop songs he has been CONSTANTLY EXPOSED TO, which kind of makes me think Musical Girl Squad's powers are a bit overrated.

To counter Prince Heinz, Musical Girl Squad sings more and Pixie in particular sings so hard that Heinz hears her and gets a double-rune hardon.

His face says 'I don't sleep well.' His runes say 'I can go aaaall night long!'

Musical Girl Squad escapes, the end.
