Lycoris Recoil “Diamond cut diamond” Review
Lycoris Recoil “Diamond cut diamond” is the eleventh episode of the original anime Lycoris Recoil. After the set up to the final show down in episode 10, as the Lycoris prepare to assault the Enkuboku control room, Takina becomes aware that Chisato has gone missing, but doesn’t have enough information to act on. Meanwhile, Kurumi continues to investigate Yoshi, tracing him through the doctor that developed Chisato’s artificial heart and learning that an improved version had been developed for her. Kurumi meets back up with Mizuki and hacks Chisato’s phone, learning Yoshi is being held at the ruins of the old radio tower. Realizing Chisato is going into a trap, Takina abandons the operation to head for the old radio tower. The Lycoris proceed with their assault, but it turns out to be a trap when Robota hacks Radiata and broadcasts the fighting live to all of Japan, exposing DA’s existence. At the old radio tower, Chisato fights her way through Majima’s men and finds Yoshi, who is able to escape. However, Majima traps Chisato in a closed room with no light, neutralizing her prediction ability while allowing him to exploit his advanced hearing. While Majima initially has the upper hand, Takina breaches a hole through the wall, allowing light to enter the room and putting Chisato back on equal footing with Majima as they prepare to continue their battle.
Action Packed But Worrying
Loved this episode for it’s action and constantly keeping me on my toes but I am slightly worried about the fact that a new heart is available for Chisato. That’s an important detail and would never have been written had it not been for the fact that they’re probably planning on using it, which I’m worried will destroy all the set up the show has gone through until now. I don’t want Chisato to die but it’d be a waste of several well written emotional episodes if she doesn’t. I guess we’ll have to wait and see, it could be a fake out. Meanwhile, I’ll enjoy the chaos that Majima has caused.
