Not exactly filler, but painfully slow nonetheless. However, the sequence with the characters in fantasy mode was really cute. The search for the Embryo continues. Kairi sends a load of reading to the Guardians while the three stooges back at Easter attempt to build a machine that will create an Embryo. Predictably, everything explodes, and Ikuto stops by to offer no help whatsoever. The charas chat amongst themselves about the Embryo, and Daichi mistakes Kukai's video game rantings as saying that the Embryo is being held in a castle somewhere. This prompts the charas to decide to strike out on their own to rescue the Embryo, leading to a really cute scene of them dressed up as RPG character types. White Mage Su was especially adorable. In the meantime, one of the Easter goons slaps a tracking camera on Ikuto, but rather than do the smart thing and sell the tracking device to rabid fangirls, he shows off his technology to the guy behind the desk. Ikuto finds the tracker quickly but decides to play along and sticks it on Yoru's forehead. The guardians wonder where their charas went and decide to search for them. They meet Su, who got lost from the rest of the group. She takes them to the "castle" which is actually an abandoned factory and coincidentally the place where the Easter idiots are conducting their experiments. The Embryo maker malfunctions, and Amu and Tadase waste no time in purifying the X-Egg. Ikuto and Yoru show up to mock the trio from Easter, and return the tracking device.
Yeah, I agree with Ikuto on this one. This episode was decidedly slow moving with no real threat. Easter is starting to remind me of Team Rocket. One evil bad dude behind a desk, and three idiots running around trying to appease him with their ridiculous schemes and overblown technology, but more often than not getting blown up in the process. Team Rocket never had an Ikuto, though. Shame. The RPG sequence in the middle was really cute, though. Seeing all the charas dressed up as their RPG selves was adorable. Next week looks like more stuff is happening. Preview has everyone in their character transformations including Kukai and Ikuto. Might there also be some rabu rabu with Ikuto and Amu? WE'LL SEE.
