So Hibiki killed a god and became a god vessel in turn? Or did the fact that she harbored a relic inside her turn her into a doll? Is that why she won't fuck Miku's brains out?

My Japanese isn't good enough to fully decipher the reports that they had on the screen during the reveal, but it would seem that the two spears were actually one in the same all along and it picked up its god slaying ability through meme magic.

This is the 4th series of this anime, from the sounds of things, you haven't watched any part of the other 3.
Also, there's only one way to like this series, you switch off your brain, and watch as someone uses a spear from mythology to punch things so hard they explode. Also music.

Longinus used Gungnir instead of a generic Roman spear at the crucifixion in this setting. Historically this is all kinds of crazy but metaphorically it fits well enough that I'm surprised I haven't seen it tried before.
No.736132
>>736095
It was pretty clear the lance started out as a generic spear and did not gain any powers at the crucifixion, this rules out Gungnir being the literal Lance of Longinus. Rather it is the legend of the spear through the power of the collective unconscious that manifested the attributes of the Lance into Gungnir, an existing spear as it is likely that the original Lance, having not gained any powers, has simply rotted away into nothing.

I went back to check in the episode and that's not what they seem to be going for at all. Look at the way they show the Lance in Symphogear's version of the crucifixion compared to the image it's based on, it has the same ornamentation as Gungnir rather than being a plain spear.

That felt far too rushed. The Hibiki rampage was too short. There should have been some special anti-linker powers using Ignite. Each of the girls could have fought and had their ass beaten but work together to make the opportunity for Miku. Miku being the key to save Hibiki makes sense since Linker is the power of love. This could have also been cool if Miku got an antilinker symphogear. With our previous discussion of nuclear weapons and Fuck Yeah America trying to nuke everyone I was hoping Hibiki would punch the nuke into another dimension with the stabilized divine power fist. Making the other two alchemists come back then die together was fine too. I guess the writer realized there was no finale Hibiki punch so they threw in Adam and the arm.
This would have been much more enjoyable over 2 seasons so we could savor 12 weeks of shit hitting the fan when Hibiki became the cocoon and destroyer of worlds. Season 5 when?

I was also a little let down at how quickly they solved Hibiki being turned into a god, but there's still one more episode so I'll hold my final judgement for now. This episode did feel very weak and it would have been better served as setup for a finale in the 13th. I'm not exactly sure what the 13th episode could even be about, though almost certainly it will have Hibiki's birthday somewhere in there. Also Adam is still alive and they still haven't explained why the divine power would even try to bond with Hibiki. Hopefully both of those points are resolved next episode, though I could see Adam escaping and showing up in season 5 as either the main villain again or playing a role similar to Doctor Ver in season 3.

MIKU GEAR FUCKING CONFIRMED
Also I get that they basically cant get any main characters that aren't idols and that it wouldn't fit with the story-arc they are going for but I am kinda annoyed with how they dealt with Adam.
The only thing wrong about him(Other than kiling tons of people but they never seem to care when anyone else does that so..) was that he failed to consider those that were imperfect according to his standards as people he can co-operate with instead of rule(Another way to say it would be that he was obsessed with ruling but never grokked the proper way to rule in an universe where love is literally a power source).
And here we have our main character whose entire shtick has,for the last three seasons,been "I talk to all my opponents no matter how far they are gone because people shouldn't fight" We all know her thing is actually The Determination To Fist but the show focuses on the other one and here she has come across the one main villian where having a good talk after knocking his ass on the floor might ''actually solve things for once" and this is the only boss fight in the show were they haven't tried to do it.
To be honest the only reason I wasn't lowkey supporting Adam in the fight is because he didn't care for his robotic waifu properly.Also because he is Literally Satan

Its the usual crisis MCs like Hibiki have. The author wants to do things differently so they introduce an antag whose role is to make MC question their ideals. In Hibikis case this will likely end with "I will talk to them with my fist" the same way Nanoha solves everything and makes friends with divine buster.

No, I mean these versions, the ones with the longer intro. They were clearly created at some point since both GX and AXZ feature versions of their opening with elongated opening segments. The first two were featured on Mizuki Nanas albums Rockbound Neighbours and Supernal Liberty.
We'd need someone that knows a little about idols to find lists of all titles from her recent albums, I wouldn't know where to search.
Both the longer Synchrogazer and Vitalization had Aufwachen Form in their song names.
For fucks sake. I have webms of these songs but since this website is a crook of shit, their uploads keep failing.
You'll either have to take my word for it or look up the mentioned albums yourself. You can hear the version I'm talking about playing in the semifinal episode of Symphogear 1, when Hibiki regains her strength. It's the slowly rising beat that culminates in her screaming Symphogear and the continues playing as the op at the end of the episode.
