If I ever needed subs for a single episode so badly, it would be right NOW. And here I thought a date with Maria was the highest the bar could be set for Hayate not Gotoku. Looks like the production budget for this episode was increased (despite some of the distorted looks by Hinagiku). Only the following words are needed for this post: Awesome fights, Hinagiku, and Hayate transformation.

One of these days I need to dust off SPSS to see if the amount of Hinagiku screen time truly is proportional to the awesomeness of an episode.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, here are 40,000 words.

Hina-chan~

Trap Hayate 4TW!

Aku Soku Zan, perhaps
