Ep. 8: Yoshika struggles with flight issues while Mio refuses to teach the True Reppuzan technique.
Mio trains to obtain the True Reppuzan and declines Yoshika’s requests to learn it. During practice with Perrine, Yoshika experiences flying difficulties, though medical checks and Striker Unit diagnostics reveal no mechanical faults. The following day, Yoshika and Lynnette travel to the battleship Yamato to assist injured crew members from a lab explosion. A blimp-shaped Neuroi ship attacks the battle group, causing Yoshika to lose the ability to fly. Lynette is left to defend the retreating fleet alone. Hearing her father’s voice, Yoshika receives a new Striker Unit designed based on his research. This custom equipment allows her to maximize her powers, enabling her to rescue Lynette and defeat the Neuroi independently. It is later determined that Yoshika’s previous flight problems stemmed from her old Striker Unit’s inability to handle her growing strength.
