Power Struggle! An Invisible Threat! - S2.E22

An undercover operation at a hotel to apprehend illegal weapon dealers proceeds along swimmingly until Kaoru is sent into a frenzy by a bevy of bombs meant for Minamoto only for her psychokinesis to short-circuit and become its own beast that is only subjugated by Minamoto energizing Kaoru's limiter. Minamoto decides to have Kaoru sit out the next mission due to her neural damage -- a wise decision except that the lack of supervision is read as a signal for Mio to phase in with an exhortation of her assistance against Black Phantom. Hearing the name Black Phantom after a snapshot of Kaoru's prologue involving Yoshimi is more than enough reason for Kaoru to leap into action against her better judgment. After a brief battle with Kazura and Kagari, Momiji stopping Kaoru and smashing her limiter without realizing the consequences gives way to a demonstration of how a P.A.N.D.R.A. mission is conducted that thoroughly incenses Kaoru. While searching for Black Phantom's latest vassal Patty Crew, the P.A.N.D.R.A. espers share their prologue and that they rely heavily on brute force which Patty perverts to their detriment. Galvanized by a new perspective on the past, Kaoru combines psychic energies with the P.A.N.D.R.A. espers to extinguish the Black Phantom subjugation. While successfully emulating the Collaborative Deluge limiters is a marvelous engineering feat in its own right, the P.A.N.D.R.A. espers do not have the per capita power and goodwill to make their Collaborative Deluge work the way that of B.A.B.E.L. does.
