"I'm a new breed...neither boomer or human..." Hmmm... don't that sound familiar... #BubblegumCrash

"You babes are pretty good!" Yeah, turns out the Illegal Army got upgraded to Illegal BOOMER Army...but I blinked, so I missed that fight. #BubblegumCrash

The Sabers bait the Army with a fake part and these metal meatheads fall for it. #BubblegumCrash

Gee...I wonder why the production team wrote this big middle finger to the music industry involving Priss...

Oh, and Linna is learning something about stocks...they crash...hard...especially if their tied to the Illegal Army. Thus, she quits and our heroes are reunited. #BubblegumCrash

Well, looks like at least for Priss the choice is made as it turns out...yeah, Priss's agent is a scumbag for a scumbag music industry that told her "Yeah, your style is not...THE style, so put on this dress that'll show off enough for the boys and sing this sugar stuff, ok?" #BubblegumCrash

Turns out their leader is only mostly dead, but some sort of AI construct and the survivors are cybernetic beefy men of beef.

What was that and why'd it come from Detroit? #BubblegumCrash

And before anyone says anything...no, Leon and flashback guy can NOT be the same person, as Leon didn't even act like he recognized the leader or knew ANYTHING about the Illegal Army. #BubblegumCrash

Leon says screw orders and gets the ADPD hardsuit...

*SMASH*

...not that it did any good...but that's when Leon's saved by FLASHBACKS! Yes, turns out Leon looks, and sounds, like a fellow merc the leader lost. #BubblegumCrash

The mercs strike again...but the AD Police is ready to sti---

"Resistance is useless!"

If you know this franchise, you can guess why I used that clip...and why my confidence went to 0 for the AD Police. #BubblegumCrash

Turns out all the places that got robbed are connected to the new client, Zone, makers of Boomer brains...and the things that were taken are connected to making a new type of Boomer. #BubblegumCrash

Well, the team is NOT breaking up. She was gone to upgrade everything from the hard suits to the rest of the equipment and the girls have a lot to think about....

Which doesn't last long as the girls, in their finest towels, lay things out in their strategic spa! You haven't? #BubblegumCrash

Sylia calls the girls together and...Nene jumps right to this being about the team breaking up.

Yeah...Sonada made her look like a kid (Don't...ask...) so someone on Crash's staff thought to make her act like a kid...and AIC carried that over to Tokyo 2040... #BubblegumCrash

Well, just when Nene still sulks about the AD Police being useless and the Knight Sabers not reuniting, Sylia DOES appear in this picture via hacking a video game.

...boy, good thing she knew Nene would be in this thing... #BubblegumCrash

Turns out this group is known as the Illegal Army and...well, a Japanese backed WACO happened and the mercs are kinda pissed... #BubblegumCrash

Nene tells Leon and Daily what she found about the power suits as it turns out they were protypes that had stuff happen to "Officially" put the kibosh on it...around the same time some mercenaries got some new armor... #BubblegumCrash

The hard suits strike again, knocking out people and destroying Boomers in the process and we hear about it from Max Headroom....'s inbred BETA cousin. #BubblegumCrash

Coming off of Crisis you can TELL there's a budget drop. It's not quite as drastic as when Ranma 1/2 Season 1 went to Nettouhen but still...

@digiranma.bsky.social

And Sylia is...Sir Not Appearing In This Picture apparently as she's actually missing! But...the girls are calm about this as she might actually be visiting her brother in Germany. #BubblegumCrash

-Nene is catching up with the girls...and mad that the girls actually have a life OUTSIDE of being Knight Sabers. Honestly? I like this little bit, hints that the girls are friends outside of being Knight Sabers. #BubblegumCrash

-Linna is now a stock broker...with inside information from Nene, meaning SOMEBODY ignored the movie Wall Street...aside from Oliver Stone when he made the second one, anyway... #BubblegumCrash
