Cybersix

Cybersix started out as a black and white Italian-Argentinean comic book series in 1992. The rights were then bought by the now defunct Canadian company Network of Animation (NOA), who then passed off the animation duties to the Japanese company TMS Entertainment in 1998, and the result was an international collaboration of a cartoon/anime. It aired from September to November of 1999 and only lasted for 1 season consisting of 13 episodes. The story is about a woman named Cyber 6 living in the fictional coastal city of Meridiana. Going by Adrian Seidelman during the day, she now fights against her evil creator Dr. Von Reichter and his son José to stop him from taking over the world. Along the way she meets her best friend/love interest, biology and chemistry teacher Lucas Amato, the black panther Data 7, a young orphaned boy named Julian, and many other people, including more of Von Reichter's genetic creations. What's with all of the good female led comics and cartoons from Italy though? This; at least partially, Winx Club, W.I.T.C.H., and possibly even more that I've never heard of before.

## Plot

Late at night, the group fights off another XANA attack. Aelita says they need to explore Sector 5 to find information about XANA. Yumi missed her curfew, so she has to get home quickly. Her parents catch her though. They consider past ten late. They're really strict. They walk Yumi to school and pick her up. Because of this, she can't take part in the exploration of Sector 5. Jeremie promises to keep in touch with her. The others head to the factory. They reach Sector 5. They have to stop the timer to explore the sector further. They run into Creepers and a labyrinth on the way. They reach the mechanism to stop the timer, but Odd and Ulrich are devirtualized. The landscape changing scares the monsters off for now though. Odd and Ulrich didn't reappear in the scanners. The materialization program is different for Sector 5. They have to find that program to bring them back. Aelita can hear monsters. They have to call Yumi. She leaves for the factory from her bedroom window. Her parents find out she's missing. They head to the school to see if she's there. The Scyphozoa is after Aelita. Yumi's parents, Principal Delmas, and Jim head to both Jeremie and Ulrich's room to look for them. No one is there. Sissi gives them Kiwi to track them down. He leads them to the factory. Meanwhile, Yumi is fighting monsters to get to Sector 5. She makes it, but she doesn't have a lot of life points left. Hitting the key trip mechanism re-configures Sector 5 again, which saves Aelita from the Scyphozoa. The two find an elevator that leads to the edge of Sector 5. Aelita accesses an interface and discovers that XANA lives in Sector 5. She finds the code to devirtualize someone in Sector 5 when new monsters called Mantas attack. They can fly. They look like manta rays, hence their name. Jeremie gives the girls the Overwing, but they can't get out of the sector. Jeremie gets rid of a tunnel so they can leave, but Yumi is devirtualized. Aelita appears in the Mountain Sector and heads to a tower to be rematerialized. Jeremie brings Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi back. When they take the elevator to try and leave, the grown-ups confront them. Jeremie goes back down to do an RTTP to erase their memories. This time, Yumi tells her parents that she's in love, and they let her off the hook. This was a good episode. Yumi's parents are really strict, and are very immersed in and proud of their heritage. I'm honestly a little surprised that they don't all speak or at least practice Japanese at home.
Angel's Friends S1 E17

## Plot

Malachia hangs up the poster. It advertises a trip to the Caves of Obscurity. All the kids will be going there as part of a school field trip. So naturally, so will all the angels and devils to watch over them. Reina is planning another trap. Jennifer has a fever, but she wants to go on the trip anyways. She considers lying to her mom. Uri and Cabiria compete in the challenge room to see who'll go first. Uri wins and gets to talk to Jennifer first. She poses as a doctor and convinces her to stay home. Cabiria uses advertisements to persuade Jennifer to go despite her fever. Malachia will be driving the bus to take the class to the caves. Then, when the time is right, he'll release the animals using the Black Sphere.

## Review

That's really too bad for Uri. Things will get much worse in the next few episodes though. We're talking life or death serious. For everyone, angels, devils, and humans alike. Not to mention strange too.
Best Friends Whenever S1 E15

## Plot

The plot of this episode is pretty basic, but the last scene is crucial to the overall narrative. Barry has built a time tracking chip using some of Cyd and Shelby's tachyons. When they jump through time, he can locate them with a receiver. However, Naldo drops the chip in his Chinese food, which Diesel eats. Shelby is video chatting with Drake, her boyfriend from two episodes ago. However, Diesel causes her to trip and embarrass herself in front of him. She yells at him, saying that he ruined everything and tells him to leave. He disappears right in front of her. Cyd also had a boyfriend named Joaquin from two episodes ago, but I guess things didn't work out between them. Shelby tells her about Diesel, but she lies and says that no one yelled at him. Obviously, she tells the truth later. She learns from Barry that Diesel eating the chip gave him the ability to time travel. He gives the receiver to her. They have to find him before he poops the chip back out. His body travels with him when he time travels, so wherever he goes, there will be two Diesels. The Diesel the girls are looking for is the one with a ribbon in his collar, because he was going through Shelby's craft stuff. Barry and Marci had a bad date the other night. She comes over, and knows he's keeping secrets from her. However, he can't tell her about time travel. It turns out that they were having a nice time watching a lunar eclipse, but then Naldo almost revealed that Cyd and Shelby were time travelers. Marci felt like they were playing games with her and left. Cyd and Shelby eventually find Diesel and bring him home. Barry tells them that the chip doesn't have enough power to transport anything bigger than Diesel, so people couldn't use it to time travel. They learn about his relationship problems with Marci and decide to fix them. They reveal to her that they're time travelers, and she believes them. They jump back to the future lab yet again. They're already free, and the hazmat guy is on the floor. Janet and her guards will come in at any second. Shelby wants to go, but first, Cyd unmasks the guy in the hazmat suit. It's Barry.
Beyblade: Metal Masters S2 E11

## Plot

The next match was Chi-yun vs. Tsubasa. Dashan told Chi-yun that they had to win. Tsubasa thought he'd be an easy opponent to beat, as long as he remained calm. Chi-yun told him that if he didn't fight harder than he did in his battle against Kyoya, then he wouldn't win. Chi-yun wanted to see the person Tsubasa became when he started losing to Kyoya, since that would make his win more exciting and earned. It worked, and it looked like darkness possessed Tsubasa, just like it did to Ryuga, which alarmed the rest of Team Gan Gan Galaxy, especially Ginga. In the end though, Eagle lost, Lacerta was barely spinning, and Tsubasa passed out. Now the teams are tied, and the next match is Ginga vs. Dashan. Tsubasa apologizes for losing, but the others say that he did his best, even if he went berserk towards the end. Yu wonders what happened to him. After a fierce and intense battle, Ginga is able to defeat Dashan, meaning that the Galaxy team is moving onto round two. Dashan is ashamed at first, but Chao Xin tells him to lighten up. Just because he lost doesn't mean that Beylin Temple's teachings will be lost. There's always next time, and he just has to not make the same mistakes next time. Chi-yun tells him that he doesn't have to shoulder the responsibility himself. Chao Xin says they can all work towards making a new legacy together. Everyone in China *finally* cheers for the Gan Gan Galaxy team.

## Plot

Odd plans to cheat on a test, and tries to get Ulrich to join him, but he says no. Sissi gets permission from her father to throw a party in the gym. Aelita fixes a mixing board for Odd and William, and she has a real talent for mixing music. William asks her to DJ for the party tomorrow night. Jeremie thinks she's wasting her time, but Aelita says that she's trying to live a normal life like everyone else. They have an actual *fight* and she storms out. The students aren't allowed to take their bags in for the test, and Odd folds his into an origami bird. Presumably, he was going to cheat by using a cheat sheet or something in his bag, but when he had to leave it behind, his plan was dead on arrival. XANA uses a specter to possess Jim. Jeremie tries to contact the others about the activated tower, but Jim ties him up in his room. Everyone has a great time at the party and loves Aelita's DJing. Kiwi is able to get help for Jeremie. Jim electrocutes Aelita and takes her to the factory. The others are right behind him though. Odd and Ulrich distract him while Yumi and Jeremie take another way down. Aelita has to face a Megatank alone. Odd and Ulrich get past Jim and head to the scanner room. Odd takes care of one Hornet before catching up to Ulrich and Yumi. After his board is devirtualized, he gets a ride from Ulrich while Yumi heads towards Aelita. She defeats the Megatank, but is also devirtualized. The Scyphozoa starts taking Aelita's memories. Jim takes over the supercomputer and materializes Odd. Yumi attacks him and Jeremie goes back to the computer. Ulrich saves Aelita, who shuts down the activated tower. They do an RTTP so Jim doesn't remember anything. Odd has Aelita and Jeremie help him with his homework while he teaches Aelita about techno music. This time, Jeremie is supportive of her.

## Review

Aw! Sorry, I just really like Jeremie and Aelita's relationship. The kids get electrocuted *a lot* though, don't they? I just noticed that now. So, what does DJ stand for? Disc Jockey? Oh my gosh, that's right! I'm a genius!
Code Lyoko S1 E17

## Plot

In the Ice Sector, XANA activates a tower. Ulrich touches some kind of goo during science class. He passes out later. Sissi visits him in the infirmary. She discovers that he has amnesia. She tricks him into thinking that they're dating. She also tells him that he hates Odd, Jeremie, and Yumi. Some other kids come down with the same thing Ulrich has. It's a XANA attack. Ulrich keeps recovering bits and pieces of his memory. Eventually everyone comes down with the same virus. The others make their way to the factory. Ulrich slowly makes his way to the factory, recovering more of his memory as he goes. Yumi and Odd run into monsters in the Ice Sector. Aelita is in the Mountain Sector. Jeremie convinces Ulrich to go to Lyoko. Odd teaches Ulrich how to fight while Yumi and Aelita head to the tower. They're cornered by four Krabs. Aelita uses her Creativity to make a wall, so now they only have to deal with two. Jeremie sends Odd and Ulrich in as reinforcements. Yumi is devirtualized. Ulrich takes out a Krab. And another. Aelita enters the tower. Odd and Ulrich take out the last Krab. Aelita enters the code. "Return to the Past now!" The day is saved and Ulrich has his memory back.

## Review

This was an okay filler episode. XANA's virus isn't perfect, since Ulrich started recovering his memory almost immediately after he woke up.
Beyblade: Metal Masters S2 E24

## Plot

Team Wang Hu Zhong is video chatting with Kenta and Team Gan Gan Galaxy, except Tsubasa, who is still in the hospital. They're battling Team Excalibur next to see who will face off against Japan in the A Block finals. They're determined to win and become the world champions, but Yu wonders if they can really beat Excalibur. Kyoya leaves to become even stronger in order to face Ginga again. Benkei goes with him, and Nile and Demure watch them leave. Tsubasa has a nightmare about running from a darkness in a forest. He keeps trying to run toward the light, but no matter how much he runs, it gets further away as the darkness gets closer. As it does, it takes on his form. Then he wakes up. The others visit him later, along with Hikaru. He apologizes for missing the final match against Wild Fang, but Ginga tells him not to worry about it. He asks Tsubasa if he's okay now. He claims that he is, but then he hears the dark version of himself, and sees him in a window. He clutches his chest again, and says it feels like it's burning. Hikaru leaves to get the doctor. Tsubasa refuses to surrender himself to the dark power, and suddenly grabs a chair and breaks the window before Ginga and Masamune try to restrain him. Afterwards, the doctors sedate him and decide to run some more tests. Meanwhile, Ryo is examining the footage from his last battle and Ginga's final battle with Ryuga when he has a realization. Just then, Hikaru calls him to tell him what happened. He tells everyone that the dark power of L-Drago has been living in Tsubasa since his battle with Ryuga. Ryo fears that the dark power will soon overtake him completely, and allow it to run wild again, so he's decided to remove Tsubasa from the team. The others beg him to let Tsubasa stay, but he refuses, and tells Yu that he's going to battle in his place as a regular member of the team. Even though this is what Yu has wanted since the start of the season, he loves Tsubasa just as much as the others, and decides to quit if he's kicked off the team. The others tell Ryo that he can't be okay with letting Yu go as well. He's impressed at how much they've all bonded through their bladers' spirits, and promises to use all of the WBBA's resources to find a solution. They still know nothing about the dark power though. Yu realizes that if Tsubasa was infected by the dark power in L-Drago, then they have to find Ryuga so they can examine L-Drago. That won't be easy though. No one has seen him since his battle with Ginga. Meanwhile, Mei-Mei and Chao Xin battle Sophie and Wales, but even though their teamwork is excellent, they still lose to them. The next match is Chi-yun vs. Excalibur's substitute member, Klaus.
Beyblade: Metal Masters S2 E50

## Plot

As our group of heroes make their way to the tower, they break down waves of lackeys and walls. Sophie and Wales stay behind to fight Julian at the entrance to the tower. He tells them that he's not the Julian they once knew. It was on the day they were defeated by Team Starbreaker. Ziggurat revealed that his family businesses had been taken over by Hades Inc. He let him keep his good name intact, but only if he swore loyalty to him. When Sophie and Wales are defeated, Dashan fights Julian, and is able to defeat him. He realizes that he hasn't lost everything after all. He still has his friends. Madoka tells the others that the spiral core is in the basement of the tower. When they come across two hallways, they split up. Tsubasa, Yu, and Madoka find Jack's room. Yu is trapped in his arrangement pod while Tsubasa battles Jack. Madoka can't break Yu out, so he eventually decides to use Libra to bust himself out. Tsubasa is able to defeat Jack. Kyoya opens up another path for Ginga and Masamune after they're locked in a room. He's able to defeat Damian, and the other two finally reach Toby and the spiral core. In order to demonstrate the full capabilities of spiral force, Ziggurat plans to have the people of Earth watch as it blows up an island. They think he's crazy. Masamune tries to get Toby to snap out of it, but he has no memory of who he used to be. Ginga and Masamune battle Faust, but it doesn't go very well for them. Hikaru, Benkei, and Kenta are following the flying Hades City in a buggy as it makes its way towards the ocean. Before the spiral force can be released, Ryuga is able to use L-Drago to damage the entire city, which frees Ginga and Masamune. The door to Zeo's cell is opened, and he's able to escape. Ginga and Masamune are able to defeat Tempo, but Toby still doesn't have his memories back. Tsubasa, Yu, Madoka, and Kyoya get there. Unfortunately, the damage that Ryuga caused means that Hades City is going down and will crash into the ocean… with everyone still on it.
Beyblade: Metal Fusion S1 E44

## Plot

Yu has regained consciousness, and is telling the others what happened to him, and what's happening to the Dark Nebula members that lose. He was able to escape, but because of that, Libra was badly damaged. Kenta says he'll make Reiji pay for what he did, and the others warn him to be careful. He agrees to battle with Yu again sometime, and takes Libra with him for support. Doji plans to have Ginga watch as all his friends are defeated one by one, so he'll get angry during his battle with Ryuga, who will turn his anger into strength for L-Drago. Kenta uses his special move, but Reiji breaks off Sagittario's claws. Thanks to Kenta's determination though, his bey is able to stay in the stadium. Madoka realizes that Sagittario has Libra's eternal sharp performance tip. This is why it was able to withstand Serpent's poison and battle in a fair fight. With the claws gone though, it can't handle Serpent's attacks anymore. Suddenly, Yu shows up, and says he's fighting with Kenta. They tell Reiji that their beys are still strong because their spirits are intact. Sagittario is able to push Poison Serpent back, but Reiji says it hurts. He decides to fight with his full strength, and uses his dark move to finally end the battle. However, he continues attacking Sagittario, until Ginga steps in with Pegasus. Doji decides to have them fight in the first match of the semifinal. Kenta apologizes for losing, but Yu tells him that the battle was amazing, and they see the audience cheering for him.
Beyblade: Metal Fusion S1 E15

## Plot

Ginga left a letter to his friends. Kenta, Benkei, Madoka and Kyoya go look for him. They head to Koma Village. Someone is watching them from the woods. In Doji's lair, Ryuga beats all the students at once. Things go really badly for everyone on their trip. The person watching them wants them to split up. They take separate paths to Koma Village. When Kenta and Madoka fall off a cliff, they're saved by the person who was watching them. His name is Hyoma. He uses his bey, Aries, to get some fish for them. They're scared, but they're going to keep looking for Koma Village anyways, to help Ginga. They tell Hyoma about Ginga. Hyoma leads them to a safer path towards Koma Village. He disappears after that. Hyoma also runs into Kyoya and Benkei. He lies about running into Kenta and Madoka. He also lies about being a blader. When Benkei is attacked by a boar, Hyoma secretly uses Aries to save him. Madoka and Kenta run into them. Kyoya knows that he's lying. He's suspicious of Hyoma.
Code Lyoko S2 E2

## Plot

An elf is running away from some wolves in the woods. He hides in a knothole, but the wolves find him. Seriously though, those eyes are just unnatural. Turns out it was just a nightmare of Aelita's. She waits in a long line for the girls' bathroom, but Sissi tricks her into going into the boys' bathroom. Jeremie finds out that the owner of the Hermitage is a Mr. Franz Hopper. He used to teach science at Kadic. Aelita keeps having nightmares. She's not used to living on Earth yet. Jeremie, Ulrich, and Odd go to the Hermitage instead of meeting Aelita. Jeremie picks up a book about the Punic Wars. Aelita feels lonely and goes back to Lyoko by herself. She sets the supercomputer on a timer to virtualize herself. She runs into a monster. Jeremie, Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi head to the factory. "Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Odd. Transfer Yumi. Scanner and virtualization!" Jeremie gives them their vehicles. Aelita is at the very edge of the Forest Sector. Something appears behind her. She's in a fifth sector. A message appears on Jeremie's screen: "Welcome to Carthage" It's password protected though. Carthage was mentioned in the book he picked up. Meanwhile, Aelita explores the new sector. She runs into new monsters. Jeremie finally gets the password right: Scipio. A ball appears and takes the others to the fifth sector in the core of Lyoko. Aelita runs into another new monster: the Scyphozoa. It has tentacles and looks like an octopus/jellyfish thing. It starts taking Aelita's memories. A timer starts counting down. Sector 5 starts shifting around. They have to get out quickly. They grab Aelita and hightail it out of there. Jeremie rematerializes them. They understand why Aelita went off on her own. They can't wait to explore Sector 5.

## Review

This was a good episode. Sector 5 has new, really creepy, really disgusting monsters. The Scyphozoa is really scary. It's basically indestructible. It looks weird too. Not like any other monsters of XANA's. Aelita will keep having nightmares throughout the season. It's great foreshadowing.
Code Lyoko S1 E16

## Plot

Jeremie contacts Aelita, who's in the Desert Sector. The others are outside playing soccer. Oh, I love soccer! He was feeling tired. Aelita asks him how humans know when they feel tired. Jeremie explains that it's like having weak batteries. The two like hanging out together. A new student named Theo joins the soccer game. He flirts with Sissi. He plays on Sissi's team, who are down 7-1. Aelita enters a blue tower and goes to the Forest Sector. She and Jeremie are looking for a specific tower. It's to collect data for the materialization program. Herb doesn't like Theo. Herb has a crush on Sissi, and Theo is interested in her. Herb and Nicholas try to get Theo in trouble, which leads to Odd and Ulrich pulling a prank on *them* instead. On Lyoko, a tower turns red. XANA does something to the cafeteria. Yumi and Jeremie leave early to talk to Aelita. She thought she heard pulsations in the Forest Sector. Odd and Ulrich tell Jeremie about the strange things happening in the cafeteria. Odd attempts to leave, but is electrocuted. The students are trapped there. Yumi warns the principal while Jeremie heads to the factory. Ulrich tries to break a window, but it doesn't work. They have no idea what XANA's trying to do. Jeremie figures out that XANA's after the four of them, but Jeremie and Yumi left early. "Transfer Yumi. Scanner Yumi. Virtualization!" The pulsations split into two directions. Both Aelita and Yumi take a path. Jeremie remarks that its too easy, after all, they've come this far and there's no monster in sight. Yumi goes through a tunnel to Aelita's path. Two Krabs go after Aelita. She can't run because it's a dead end. The firemen are attempting to free the kids, but nothing's working. Yumi pushes Aelita out of the way, and the lasers the Krabs fired hits the other instead, destroying them both. The girls find a path leading to the tower. They have to go across some logs. A third Krab is coming. The ceiling in the cafeteria is caving in. Herb thanks Theo for saving him from being electrocuted and apologizes for his earlier behavior. Yumi takes care of the final Krab as Aelita enters the tower. Aelita enters the code just before the ceiling caves in. One RTTP later, and Odd changes things so Theo flirts with Yumi instead. Not sure how that happened. I think I liked the first one better.

## Review

So, apparently the first season has a lot of filler episodes, as you can see. This was an okay episode, but I thought Theo was gonna be possessed by XANA or he would do something more interesting than trapping kids in the cafeteria. One off characters like Theo and Taelia are sadly underutilized in my opinion.
Beyblade: Metal Fury S3 E1

## Plot

I personally think that the animation has improved. Maybe it's just all of the new characters, locations, and updated character designs. This version of the theme song is my favorite. Madoka, Kyoya, and Kenta have new outfits, and I love them, especially since Kyoya's shows off his arms. The episode starts with a boy named Yuki in his observatory. A meteorite falls to Earth, which he identifies as the new star fragment, like the ones that created Pegasus and L-Drago. Another individual on a temple is watching the star fragment as well and asks it to come to him, when it suddenly splits into ten pieces of light that scatter across the globe. One of the lights hits Yuki's bey, Mercury Anubius. The cloaked figure asks his henchman Johannes to track down the location of all the scattered fragments. He says that it's just a matter of time before Nemesis is revived. Madoka finally completes the repairs to Galaxy Pegasus when one of the lights hits it, which freaks her out, but she thinks she was dreaming. The next day, Kenta is competing in a tournament, and Ginga is an extremely biased guest commentator who clearly wants his friend to win. He picks up Pegasus later at the B-Pit. Before he and Kenta can battle, an arrow with a note hits the building. Luckily, it doesn't have a tip on it. The note asks him to meet on the misty island off the coast. It's a challenge letter. Ginga naturally accepts, and Kenta and Madoka go with him. It turns out that the message was from Kyoya. They still haven't finished things from the previous season. Ginga has a flashback to the first time they battled each other. While battling each other, there's a huge flash of light, and their beys suddenly transform. No one knows what just happened or why, but Kyoya and Ginga don't care because it's cool, and their beys are extra powerful now. However, after a huge clash, both of their beys are still spinning… but they've both been knocked out again. Yuki gets on a boat to look for Ginga and tell him something, unaware that Johannes is watching him. Also, this season only has 39 full length episodes, but starting with episode 27, the episodes are split into eleven minute two parters to get the episode count up to 51 like it was in the previous two seasons. Additionally, the full length episodes 34 and 35, To The Final Battle Ground and The Lost Kingdom, are switched around, even on the ***official** Beyblade: Metal Saga YouTube channel*. Which also doesn't distinguish episode counts between different seasons or even shows, which makes things a bit more difficult for me, since by the end the final count is over 150 episodes. *Not user friendly at all*. I'd be better off making my own playlist.

## Plot

All the kids at the Golden school will be left alone while their teachers, Arkhan and Temptel, report to their superiors about their students' progress. Their decide to have some fun and start a food fight. Malachia releases the spider into the school. Reina wants it to bite Raf and Sulfus. The kids go to the desert and use their various powers to battle each other. Uri can create storms and Kabale can transform into anything she wants. Sulfus is about to touch Raf again until Uri reminds him of the veto. Good thing it's only if they're in their normal forms. They can touch each other while human. They have some fun and run around together. They discover a door that they think guards all the spirits of the humans. The spider succeeds in biting them both. They agree not to tell anyone else about this. Reina's plan is succeeding, and she will soon be free from limbo.

## Review

So, I hope no one here has arachnophobia. That spider was creepy.
Code Lyoko S2 E8

## Plot

Yumi is late getting to the factory to search Sector 5. Ulrich gets mad at her and accuses her of being with William. Yumi gets mad at him for assuming so, but doesn't deny it. While being attacked by monsters, the Scyphozoa does something to Yumi instead of Aelita. Whatever it is, she can't be materialized. And she has a class picture that day. Any student with an unjustified excuse will be suspended. Ulrich asks Sissi to pose as Yumi for the photo while Jeremie and Aelita work on fixing the problem. Sissi says she doesn't want anything from Ulrich. She'll do it as a favor. XANA took Yumi's sequence code for her human DNA. Aelita has an idea, but she refuses to tell Jeremie what it is. Odd and Ulrich work to steal one of Yumi's dresses for Sissi to wear, and if you listen closely, it seems like her parents are still having some problems. Aelita's plan is to transfer her code to Yumi's, but that would leave her memory exposed for XANA to take, which was his plan all along. Because she muted Jeremie, Odd and Ulrich have to tell her directly. They stop her just in time. To get Yumi's code back they go into Sector 5. Without her code though, Yumi is as vulnerable as Aelita. So if she's devirtualized, she'll disappear forever. Sissi actually looks a lot like Yumi, but everyone recognizes her and asks her questions, which draws the attention of her father, and she gets in trouble. What? And no, it wasn't because of the different voices, William recognized her before she even spoke. It could be height, but she was sitting down. Seriously, for once this should've been easy to pull off! Odd is devirtualized by a falling platform. Yikes! Too bad he isn't a toon from *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*? Ulrich apologizes to Yumi for what he said that morning. She was buying tickets to the Subsonics concert, a band she knows Ulrich likes. It was a surprise for him. Aw! They find Yumi's code, but she's devirtualized. She's okay and back on Earth with the rest of them. And she's not in trouble for missing the class picture, Sissi covered for her. To thank her, Yumi gives her the two tickets to the concert so she can go with Ulrich. I guess she really did have an ulterior motive. Or maybe, *way deep down,* she's actually a really nice and kindhearted person.

## Review

That switch plan should've worked though. The resemblance between Sissi and Yumi with just a change of clothes and hair is uncanny! Oh, and the two are actually about the same height. How on Earth did William and everyone else figure it out? For once it was foolproof!
Code Lyoko S3 E8

## Plot

The gang is trying to collect more data on Franz Hopper in Sector 5. Two Mantas merge together and hit Odd and Ulrich, who aren't devirtualized right away and have a red aura surrounding them. They have to leave for a play though, so they don't find out what it was. It makes them hallucinate that they're on Lyoko, surrounded by monsters. To return them to normal, they have to go to a way tower somewhere on Lyoko. Yumi and Aelita have to get them out of the hospital. XANA launches an attack on the heart of Lyoko too. Man, these kids *really* can't catch a break! Yumi heads to the heart while Aelita has to guide Odd and Ulrich. But because things can never be that simple, while on Lyoko, they hallucinate that they're back at Kadic. Aelita is able to get them inside the tower and fix the problem. And then they all save the heart. This was an okay filler episode. But how do you even have filler in a thirteen episode season? How did those two Mantas merge together? Why doesn't XANA ever try this or something like it ever again?
Angel's Friends S1 E20

## Plot

The monster drops Helen, but Sulfus saves her. Gabe and Misha lure the limbo creatures away from the bus. Their powers aren't enough to kill them though.

## Review

I know I said that I'd only add a review section if I actually had something to talk about, but I seem to be doing it out of sheer force of habit. Doing so for almost a year and a half for over 500 pages will do that to ya.
Beyblade: Metal Fusion S1 E3

## Plot

Two helicopters are taking Kyoya, Benkei and some of the Face Hunters to an unknown location. They arrive in a rocky area. The mystery man wants Kyoya to train at his facilities and become stronger so he can defeat Ginga. At the B-Pit, Madoka has completed fixing Pegasus. Kenta wants Ginga to train him, but Ginga is less than enthusiastic about coaching someone. Kenta's friends want to be trained by Ginga too. After some fighting, (and I don't mean a bey battle) Madoka kicks them out. After some taunting from the mystery man, they fight. His bey is Dark Wolf. It's a balance type. Back at Bey Park, Kenta is worried that Ginga didn't want to train them because he wants to fight strong opponents. He thinks that Ginga will leave if he doesn't find another worthy opponent. Meanwhile, the mystery man reveals that he choose this location to give *himself* a small disadvantage for a weaker opponent. He's very confident that he'll win. Kenta wants to battle with Ginga. Kenta purposefully misfires his bey so that when Pegasus attacks, the point of impact shifts slightly. Since they're not in a stadium, there are no stadium outs. It just matters which bey will stop spinning first. Since Sagittario is a stamina type, the only way it can win is by creating a drawn out battle. Dark Wolf is using the wind from Leone to increase its own rotation. Dark Wolf's special move is able to cut through the wind. Kyoya loses and hold up his end of the deal. Pegasus uses its special move to win, but it was close. Kenta is worried that Ginga will leave, but Ginga says that he intends to stay. He didn't want to teach them because with Beyblade you can't really be taught how to become stronger. It's something that you have to do for yourself. It was all a misunderstanding. Benkei and the others return without Kyoya.

## Review

This was a good episode. I absolutely love Kenta! He's so adorable and determined that he almost manages to beat *Ginga*. That's amazing!
Code Lyoko S2 E9

## Plot

Yumi's father lost his job. Her family is thinking about going back to Japan so he can find work. Obviously, Yumi isn't happy about this. Okay, no one is, but especially Ulrich, who plans on doing something about it. Yumi's parents are fighting again. They suddenly return to the past. Ulrich used it to win the lottery and gave it to Yumi's parents so they could stay in France. The others find out and chew him out for it, since doing an RTTP makes XANA stronger, so they only use it for emergencies. It didn't even matter, since Yumi's parents don't want the money and give it back to Ulrich. They're so angry, they kick him out of the Lyoko Warriors. (That's a little extreme, don't you think? What if you guys need him?) Aelita seems to be the only one who's not angry at him. (That's what I love about Aelita. So forgiving and nice). A specter possesses Nicholas, a member of Sissi's entourage. He sneaks into the factory and attacks Jeremie. The others on Lyoko have to deal with a whole swarm of Krabs. Nicholas also makes it so that they can feel pain on Lyoko. Ulrich realizes that a specter has possessed Nicholas thanks to Herb and rushes off to the factory. He traps him in the elevator and wakes up Jeremie. All animosity between everyone evaporates pretty fast since they need Ulrich's help. Jeremie fixes the computer, but they still have to deal with a lot of Krabs. They make it past them. Nicholas escapes the elevator, but the tower is deactivated before he can kill Jeremie. Ulrich apologizes for what he did and everyone forgives him. He's officially back in the group. He decides to donate the money to a charity group in Africa. Yumi's father has found a new job so her family can stay.

## Review

I liked this episode, even if I did think the others were a little quick to kick Ulrich out of the group.
Code Lyoko S2 E22

## Plot

Ulrich gets a note from Sissi, asking him to meet her in the boiler room. And he actually goes! Why? It turns out Sissi got the dumb idea in her head that she has psychic powers and wants to communicate with a ghost. Okay. Now I'm a little freaked out. I think she's gone crazy. XANA scares them by possessing… something. I don't know, it looks like… oil? It attacks Jim. Jeremie found no activated towers on Lyoko though. They head to the factory anyways after they're attacked. XANA managed to corrupt the super scan. Yumi and Aelita head to sector 5 to fix it, Odd looks around the other sectors to see if he can find the tower, and Ulrich stays with Jeremie in case the specter attacks again. And it's a literal specter this time! Despite their best efforts, the girls hit the key too late and Yumi is devirtualized. Aelita is all alone in sector 5, and odds are that the Scyphozoa is nearby. Odd finds the activated tower in the ice sector, but he's devirtualized. He finds Yumi on the floor, who tells him about Aelita. *Odd* has to run the supercomputer now, due to Jeremie and Ulrich having to leave the lab after the specter came, and then being attacked by it. Oh dear… He's able to type in the code SCIPIO and get Aelita out of sector 5. She deactivates the tower. They have to launch an RTTP though because they couldn't fix the super scan.

## Review

Whoa. They actually *lost.* Okay, to be more specific, they failed in one of their objectives and couldn't fix the super scan, forcing them to do an RTTP, which they know increases XANA's power.
Beyblade: Metal Masters S2 E34

## Plot

The episode starts with Kenta and the team arriving in New York City for the finals. Tsubasa wants to train right away, but the repairs to Eagle and Libra haven't been completed yet. The others want to see the sights and have fun in the meantime and ask Masamune to be their guide, but he immediately runs off to visit someone named Toby. He heads to a local hospital, but Toby isn't there, and he learns that he was moved to another hospital. The others follow him to Dungeon Gym, a beyblade training gym. His old trainer and friends are glad to see him, but tell him that Zeo stopped coming after he was asked to join HD Academy. Toby was their mutual friend and he was a blader too. They used to be so close that some people said they were more like brothers than friends. Zeo moved Toby to a different hospital. Sometime in the past, they vowed to all become number one bladers together and make the Dungeon Gym the number one gym in the world. However, Toby came down with an unknown illness, and has been in the hospital ever since. No one knows what's wrong with him or when he'll get better. He asked Masamune and Zeo to try and become number one for him. Masamune thought that if one of them became number one, Toby would get better. After that, he and Zeo spent everyday training. Then they learned about Ginga and his epic battle with Ryuga. Masamune decided to head to Japan to fight Ginga, thinking that if he beat him, he'd be the strongest blader in the world, and Toby would get better. He admits that he probably should've come back home after that, but then he stayed and became a representative for Japan in the Beyblade World Championships. The others wonder what kind of place HD Academy is, and what the manager of the U.S. team was thinking by making Zeo a regular member, since he was a really weak blader. Suddenly, Zeo shows up. He's been looking for Masamune, who asks him why he hasn't told their old coach which hospital he moved Toby to. He says that Toby specifically asked him not to tell anyone. He's getting better, and he wants his return to be a surprise. Masamune is a special case though, and Zeo gives him the address of the hospital. He thinks the main reason he became such a good blader has more to do with his bey Flame Byxis than his spirit. He and Masamune battle each other to celebrate their reunion, but they both stop before they can land a finishing blow with their special moves, since Toby should be watching them when they finally battle for real. They learn that at HD Academy, it's basically everyone out for themselves. Every day is a fight to stay, because if they don't show results, they're expelled immediately. The last ones standing joined the U.S. team. Later on, the others decide to battle the kids at the Dungeon Gym. However, it's revealed that Zeo was faking his earlier friendliness towards Masamune, and is actually incredibly angry at him for something, which he says he'll never forgive him for.

## Plot

I can't believe I have to do this. I hate the horror genre. And I especially hate zombies. So if you decide to call your episode "Attack of the Zombies," not only will I not watch it, I'll hate it too. If you like it and want to watch it, fine. But I'm just going to zip through this as quickly and painlessly as possible. And no review either. Kiwi is possessed by a specter. Can't I just skip ahead to Ultimatum? Please? Jeremie failed his Italian test. It turns out that Odd is really good at it. Milly says that she hates Sissi after she insults her. Kiwi's bite spreads a mini zombie apocalypse throughout the school. Milly is forced to run after her best friend Tamiya is infected. After William stops Aelita, Jeremie, and Odd from leaving the cafeteria, they tell him the truth. He naturally doesn't believe them. Yumi is the only one at the factory. Ulrich and Sissi are heading back to the cafeteria. After Odd is turned into a zombie, Ulrich lures the others away so Sissi can get inside. After zombies attack the cafeteria, Aelita and Jeremie make it out and get to the factory while Ulrich holds them off. Aelita and Yumi succeed on Lyoko right before Jeremie is fully turned into a zombie, and he does an RTTP to save everyone. This time, the Lyoko Warriors tell Milly that Sissi might not be as bad as she thinks. Milly was terrified during the zombie attack and Sissi helped her.
Angel's Friends S1 E32

## Plot

Sulfus narrates this time, probably because Raf is still asleep. He goes to her room after his seventh sense tells him that she's in danger. He brings Cabiria, Kabale, and Gas with him to show them Raf, who won't wake up. Plus Miki, Sweet, and Uri have vanished. They find the camera and are able to work out that the girls are inside Raf's dream, to prove Raf and Sulfus's innocence. The others try to find and tell the teachers, not knowing that they've gone to limbo, while Sulfus stays with Raf. Inside Raf's dream, the girls wind up in the Challenge Room. They see the memory of when Raf and Sulfus became human and found the Room of Portraits. Arkhan and Temptel find Reina's broken chains, as well as several screens showing Raf and Sulfus kissing. It's how she was spying on everyone. Arkhan and Temptel admit that they made a mistake, and they have to go back and prevent their pupils from leaving the school. But then they come across those stupid cat creatures. I think they call them barracks or something? Back at school, no one can find Arkhan or Temptel, and they hear a noise outside. The seraphims and malebolges are coming to take Raf and Sulfus away. Cabiria, Kabale, and Gas leave to distract and stall them while Sulfus stays with Raf. Inside Raf's dream, the girls compare Sulfus chasing Raf to courting. They try to follow them out of the classroom, but they bang their heads against the door. Pieces of chalk multiply and form a monster that they have to fight. It's a memory block, and they have to defeat it to find out what happens next. I'm not gonna lie guys, watching this part was downright excruciating. They can't defeat a bunch of crayons, and the fight drags on forever. This is probably the worst moment of the entire season, maybe even the whole series. Ugh. Luckily, this is countered by Arkhan and Temptel being awesome by fighting off the cat creatures. However, Arkhan stupidly left the White Sphere back at the school, so they need to either kill these things some other way or escape, and quickly. Cabiria, Kabale, and Gas try and fail to stall the visitors, who just fly right past them. There's nothing more they can do. It's all up to Miki, Sweet, and Uri now.
Beyblade: Metal Fusion S1 E32

## Plot

In the previous episode, Tsubasa defeated Benkei. Yu easily beat his opponent, but he was bored. He envied Kyoya for battling Hikaru, a strong opponent. Kenta was able to beat the twins from Dark Nebula. The bladers in the battle royal are Ginga, Kyoya, Tsubasa, Yu, Kenta, and Hyoma. Doji's plan was for the twins Kenta beat to be included in the lineup, but they disappointed him by losing. The last bey remaining in the battle royal wins, and gets 10,000 bey points. Tsubasa and Yu both want to fight Ginga. Kyoya uses a special move on them to remind them that Ginga isn't their only opponent. This clears the way for Pegasus to attack Eagle. You can team up in battle royals to attack one opponent. Aries and Sagittario attack Libra. Thanks to everyone else's teamwork, Yu and Tsubasa's beys are nearly launched out of the stadium very early on. They decide to split up to take care of the weaker beys. Kenta thinks it's weird. Yu is a nice kid, and he has a great time beyblading, but he's a member of the Dark Nebula. He's about to finish Kenta off with his green light, when Kyoya interrupts him. He tells Kenta that if he isn't going to fight, he should just go home. A man in a phoenix outfit is watching the battle. Tsubasa fights Hyoma, and is able to knock his bey out of the stadium. Meanwhile, Kyoya and Kenta have teamed up against Yu. They use their special moves to make Libra lose its balance, but it recovers with its sharp performance tip. Yu wants to battle Ginga and Tsubasa, and goes after their beys, with Leone and Sagittario hot on his heels. He uses his sonic wave to turn the stadium to sand. Ginga confirms that Tsubasa was holding back in their previous battle. However, Libra knocks Eagle out of the way. Yu unleashes his Inferno Blast again. Tsubasa attacks with the same wavelength to cancel it out. They fight to decide who will be Ginga's next opponent. Leone complicates things by throwing out another special move. Pegasus creates a vacuum to cancel out Yu and Tsubasa's moves. It hits their beys, and a huge white light fills the arena. When the smoke clears, Eagle, Libra, *and* Pegasus have stopped spinning. Leone and Sagittario are still going. Leone's special move protected them both, but Kyoya makes it clear that he wasn't trying to save Kenta. He easily uses the wind to blow his bey out of the stadium, winning the tournament.

Beyblade: Metal Fusion S1 E27

## Plot

I'm finally halfway through the season, yay! Doji wants Tsubasa to spy on Ginga and his friends, which includes Kenta, Madoka, Benkei, Kyoya, Hikaru, and Hyoma. He's teamed up with Yu though, and Yu doesn't really like Tsubasa, as you recall from the last episode. Both Hyoma and Kenta enter two different challenge matches. Yu battles Hyoma while Tsubasa battles Kenta. Yu actually manages to defeat Hyoma, and Tsubasa predictably defeats Kenta. Neither was entered in the tournament though, so at least it doesn't affect their points. I guess this was an okay episode.
