"Call me Moses!"
After a supposed attack by Dorssia on JIOR, ARUS takes the chance to "take over JIOR" through their senator who attempts to make Haruto follow them so that they could exploit the Valvrave's power in their battle against Dorssia. But ultimately as a politician, he decides that he was only going to save himself and the Valvrave only and to leave the JIOR students behind. Unfortunately for him, the Valvrave apparently kills any other pilots other than Haruto himself, resulting in Haruto becoming an important asset for ARUS. Typical plot development, a pilot getting "whisked" away as the different factions attempt to seize power, which in this case, was the Valvrave. About halfway through the episode, facepalm moments started to arise! "Call me Moses!" as said by the Senator, as he "splits" the sea of students through the use of his own weapon. What.... =.=
Not forgetting Shouko's attempt to make people belief her words... by undressing herself?! That's some idea over there .___. *facepalm*
So after the senate shows his true colours, he got stopped by our heroic protagonist Haruto but L-Elf starts to stir confusion after spreading the words that JIOR is now under attack by Dorssia and he would hope Haruto would cooperate with him. And then, came the proudest proclaiming moment of all time by Shouko: "Let us become an Independent State!"
What in the world is she thinking?! OK, perhaps her thinking of using the Valvrave as a hostage had some, SOME, logic but separating from the entire colony and thinking that you can survive as a State run by students?! That is just not thinking straight. What worse is that using the Valvrave as a hostage also has it's flaws as well. What Shouko believes is that they could stop Dorssia's attack by claiming that they will hand over the Valvrave over to ARUS, giving them superior fighting abilities and that they could force ARUS to help them, as they could hand the Valvrave over to the Dorssia, which would give them an upperhand on ARUS. And with that, both sides will not be able to move on their own and has to listen to JIOR's demands. I say that is pretty naive. In the first place, if ARUS were to help JIOR and defend against Dorssia, Dorssia's fleet will easily wipe out ARUS's army other than the Valvrave, and with that alliance, Dorssia will acknowledge that the Valvrave is now working together with ARUS and thus eliminate JIOR as part of the ARUS colony. And if ARUS will not comply to JIOR's request, it is obvious that Haruto will not hand the Valvrave over to Dorssia as well, just by looking at the outsider's point of view, it seems pretty obvious that ultimately, it's JIOR who is in a pinch. With either factions deciding to stop aiding JIOR or stop listening to JIOR's demand, JIOR's over.
What's more, look at the colonies that are interconnected. With Shouko's leadership to make JIOR an independent state, I guess Haruto made the extreme move of severing the entire JIOR module from the rest of the colonies. So I hope the students actually know a way to get food by themselves, set up an economy, create a defence force and obtain other necessities by themselves without the help from other modules? What I believe from the way the modules are connected, is that every module's economy is linked to each other, like Earth itself, and everyone helps each other out by providing different resources to each other. And now with JIOR's module being separated from from the rest, I have no idea how the heck they will be able to survive as an independent state. What's more, being run by students, and protected with 1 Valvrave unit.
I have no idea where the plot is headed now, but honestly, this was pretty ridiculous. Had high hopes for this series so hopefully it doesn't become another mirror of Guilty Crown.

Am loving Hataraku Maou-sama! even more with each passing episode. It was absolutely entertaining and hilarious at the same time and it all comes when you least expect it. With all the serious atmosphere being built up by Lucifer's appearance and Maou and Emi are both helpless under their assault, the fight turned out to be just as entertaining as how it would always be in Maou-sama. We have Emi holding on to her pride after refusing to help Maou after his heroic speech (talk about a break in momentum), we have Ashiya complaining on Maou's spending on movies and asking him to not forget to go for sales even on the verge of death. What's more are momentum breakers such as Lucifer's magic ball gets deflected by Emi and ends up hard on Maou's head. I guess that's pretty epic and hilarious at the same time. Last but not least, we have Maou scaring the shit out of Lucifer after going all demon mode as he might have lost his employee of the month due to Lucifer's actions that might have caused him to be late at work. Their epic scenes truly appear out of nowhere and nonetheless, the comedy level is still held rather high. So now Chiho knows the true identity of Maou and Emi, with makes me interested in seeing how their interactions change after this episode. Not forgetting the addition of Lucifer into their "human" world, who looks like he has become a NEET at Maou's house this time round. Loving this series which is as funny as always :D
