Shugo Chara! – Episode 51

This weeks episode was good…or at least better than usual. Now that we finally have come to the end of season one, Ikuto’s arc is drawing closer! ^.^

Summary

This episode begins with Amu having a dream. In the dream she’s with Dia, who asks Amu what her wish is as the embryo appears. Amu falls out of bed and wakes up. Her and her Charas go out later, on the way to some Guardian thing. Amu wonders what she really would wish for if she had the embryo. Su says Amu would wish to marry Tadase (SU said it, and Amu didn’t really seem to pleased about it) and Ran says Amu would wish for a new outfit. Amu rejects both of these ideas and starts listing off things she would wish for, like seeing Nadeshiko again. She eventually confuses herself because she doesn’t know what she would choose.

She looks across the street and sees Yukari and Nikaidou, who are out shopping. She walks up and asks them if they’re on a date and they brutally deny it. Nikaidou says he recently got an e-mail from Easter by accident that said they were really close to finding the embryo. Amu presses him for details because she’s curious about Ikuto but Nikaidou says he doesn’t know.

In Easter’s headquarters Evil Director and Ikuto are in an elevator. They arrive at a secret room were the true leader of Easter is. (Sadly behind a curtain wall, so we don’t get to find out who it is. But Meh, I still think it’s the First King) The Director talks to Leader guy about their current plan and introduces Ikuto, then they leave. Ikuto and The Director go back to the regular office and talk about the usual things. Ikuto leaves and the Director pulls out a file on Amu, because he is planning to bring her down.

The Guardians are holding a party on the roof of their school, for no substantial reason. The topic of the embryo comes up and everyone says what they’d wish for. All of there wishes are a little ridiculous, except for Rima’s. She would wish for a warm, loving family. (Aww~) Amu receives a text message from “Ikuto” telling her to meet him at “that place” the Charas wonder where it is, but Amu knows and runs off to see him.

She arrives at the amusement park and looks for Ikuto, stopping briefly at the tea cups to reminisce about her and Ikuto’s date. Her Charas point out a strange building and Amu goes inside. She gets locked in by a stupid Easter guy and trapped by a new X egg invention. The Guardians are wondering where Amu went when they notice the sky is flooded with X egg machines, which all get switched on.

Amu tries to call someone on her phone, but isn’t getting any service. He Charas suggest that she just transform and she said she would, but she left the Humpty Lock at the party. (Cause she was in a hurry to see Ikuto!~) Her Charas get extremely pissed and yell at her.

Meanwhile, Ikuto is sitting on a telephone pole watching the chaos begin, when the guy who trapped Amu drives up. He get out of his car talking about how he successfully trapped Amu. Ikuto hops down in front of the guy and asks in a very angry and scary voice what the guy did to Amu.

Amu and her Charas are talking about Easter when Ikuto shatters the glass above them, jumps down and frees Amu. Amu is in awe a bit until Ikuto calls her stupid and then they begin their usual bantering.  He says he couldn’t believe she got caught in that trap when it was so obvious. (I would have gotten caught too, if someone lured me out with Ikuto) She gets all mad at him and he says he was going to tell her something really interesting but he won’t now.

The Easter scientists are having a hard time controlling the floating X egg machines. The machines join together into a weird circle thing and heads toward the Guardians. The Easter guys freak out because they end up destroying the laptop that was supposed to control the machines. Yaya gets hit by the weird X egg attack and says she can’t go on anymore. (lol) Amu shows up and every chara-nari’s and they eventually bring down the X egg thing and Amu heals all the eggs.

Ikuto looks up at the sky and sees the embryo amongst all the healed eggs and quickly goes after it. Amu sees it too and gives us a nice “Ikuto!” before going for the embryo. As Amu is reaching toward the embryo, she thinks of all of her friends wishes and what her own would be. But then she looks up and sees Ikuto’s face and asks “What is Ikuto’s wish?” getting completely distracted.

The Director calls to bitch out the scientists and the guy gets so freaked out he hits a big red button that releases a missile from the helicopter they are in. The missile goes directly toward Amu and Ikuto and the explodes. Ikuto protects Amu from the missile, neglecting the embryo and getting injured. Ikuto and Amu begin to fall. Ikuto looks frustrated while Amu looks scared, and Ikuto holds her closer. (KYAA~!!) Tadase uses holy crown to break their fall and then he catches Amu. Ikuto lands near by and Tadase says he that Ikuto won’t get his hands on anything. (I.E. Amu, the embryo…which I just don’t believe) Ikuto smirks and disappears.

The Guardians go to greet Amu and she says she’s sorry for not getting the embryo. They say it’s ok cause they’re just glad she’s safe. We then get a nice shot of Ikuto walking beneath the full moon and Yoru saying the didn’t get the embryo again. Ikuto says it’s ok, they’ll get it eventually.

Then it goes to the next day and we get flashes of all of the characters and how they’re doing. The First King rants about his usual story crap and everyone seems happy.

Opinions

This episode was about 10 times better than I expected it to be. That’s not saying much cause I wasn’t really expecting anything great…but then they gave us all that Amuto!

I think it’s ok that Amu doesn’t have wish of her own just yet. She has a happy life. But if I were in her place, I would really wish for Ikuto.

These two crack me up. It looks like a date to me! But neither of them look happy about it! ^.^

Ikuto seems thoroughly unimpressed with the mastermind behind Easter. But nothing impresses Ikuto except for Amu.

I just don’t get the meaning behind this random party, but Kukai was there! YAY KUKAI! No Kairi though…I mean, how could they not invite Kairi??

Aw…I want Rima-tan to get her happy family too! She deserves it. If it weren’t for Ikuto, I’d say Rima should get the embryo.

Amu seemed really happy when thinking about the date she had with Ikuto.  I vote they go on another one, but Ikuto will be moving in soon anyways~!

I am absolutely positive that Amu is a number one concern for Ikuto now…his face says it all. Pretty sure Ikuto would brutally destroy anyone who hurt Amu!

I love the way Ikuto hides his concern by getting Amu all worked up…it’s just frickin’ cute.

I’m with Yaya…I would have done the same thing after getting attacked…with a cool line like…”I just can’t go on…” And then I’d take a nap. XD

I don’t think Amu would have been able to bring herself to take the embryo from Ikuto…

At least not while he was making such a desperately cute face…I would have just given it too him.

AWW…This was just such a good moment. It made my heart beat faster, to see how far Ikuto would go to save Amu.

And then he pulled her closer and she huggled into his chest…and I very nearly had a heart attack. I was squealing so loud…I don’t think I’ve ever been this fangirly.

Bleah…just Bleh. I was unimpressed with Tadase catching Amu because he made no real effort to actually save her. He doesn’t get to catch her and act like the hero. Amu didn’t really seem to impressed by it either…(Thank god) She got distracted by Ikuto quickly.

My main objection with this episode was the lack of Utau, Nadehiko and Kairi. And this was supposed to be the last one? I WANT UTAU IN THE LAST EPISODE!! GAH! Eru too!

Preview

Dia comes back next week, for the premiere of Shugo Chara -Doki! This episode doesn’t look great…more Chara-ness, but Eru will be there, so I’m content. Even if it is a pointless filler, I’ll be happy with Eru around! ^.^
