Episode 11

"I'm Not Your Cute Woman" is the 11th episode of Kill la Kill.

Plot
The First Naturals Election finals are heating up as Ryūko Matoi battles Nonon Jakuzure in the skies above Honnōji Academy. With Senketsu's new "Shippu" form giving her the power of flight, Ryūko is able to outmaneuver Nonon's Symphony Regalia Presto, even as the enraged Elite Four member intensifies her assault. However, Ryūko still isn't able to penetrate the high-powered sonic defenses of the massive airship.

Thinking up a new plan, Ryūko directs Senketsu to head straight for Satsuki Kiryūin, only for Nonon to fiercely intercept her and blast her back to the arena. Transforming her Symphony Regalia back to its Grave form, Nonon fires every weapon at her disposal, but Ryūko grabs one of the tank's missiles and throws it right back, blasting Nonon's vehicle into its component instruments. In the bleachers, Ira Gamagōri chastises Nonon for making such a simple mistake. Beside him, Mako Mankanshoku bumps into Hōka Inumuta's laptop while panicking over the rain of debris, prompting an uncharacteristically violent reaction from the former intelligence officer.

Back in the arena, Nonon rises from the ruins of her tank, only to be pummeled by the still flight capable Ryūko. Despite the pink-haired girl's pleas to come down and fight her head on, Ryūko charges forward with her Scissor Blade, seemingly defeating her third Elite Four member. However, Senketsu reveals that he hasn't absorbed any Life Fibers yet. High above, Satsuki warns Ryūko not to underestimate her top enforcers. Sure enough, the crowd begins chanting "Encore!", prompting Nonon to reappear with her uniform's second form: Symphony Regalia Da Capo.

Before Ryūko can react, Nonon releases a devastating blast of sonic energy to the tune of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, disrupting Ryūko's communication with Senketsu by tuning her waves to resonate with his Life Fibers. However, Ryūko counters this by manipulating Nonon's sound waves to match her own, allowing her to reflect the blasts back at Nonon. The two attacks clash for a while as Nonon ups the power of her beam, but Ryūko's attack eventually wins out, stunning the Elite Four member long enough for her to finish the job with her attack.

Above the arena, Tsumugu Kinagase delivers a peculiar bullet to Aikurō Mikisugi, who is prepared to use it on Ryūko should the need arise. Nonon joins her fellow former Elite Four members in the bleachers, still fuming over her defeat - Mako notices that Gamagōri isn't accosting her over her jumpsuit and theorizes that women are exempt from his appraisals. Meanwhile, Ryūko faces her final opponent: Uzu Sanageyama, who is eager to finish what he started when he first sealed his sight. Both combatants transform and charge at each other, but a mysterious pink-clad girl suddenly appears between them. Satsuki yells at Uzu to fall back, an act of intensity that surprises her subordinate, and Inumuta notes that he has no data available for the mysterious newcomer.

At the Kiryūin Manor, Satsuki's mother, Ragyō Kiryūin, emerges from the bath and prepares for the day ahead. Outside her mansion, she meets with Rei Hōōmaru, her loyal subordinate, who reports that their Grand Couturier has left for Honnōji Academy. Ragyō is unconcerned, declaring that she allows her Couturier to do as she pleases, and asks Rei to take her to the REVOCS home office, as the general meeting is about to begin.

Back at Honnōji Academy, the mysterious girl playfully admonishes Satsuki for leaving her out of the fun, but Satsuki coldly retorts that the girl shouldn't be so insincere. Uzu confronts the newcomer for interrupting his fight with Ryūko, but she easily blocks his strike with her parasol. As everyone stares in shock and Senketsu admits that he has an "overwhelmingly bad" feeling about the situation, Uzu attempts his ultimate attack, only for the girl to pull a single thread from his uniform, utterly destroying it before knocking him off the arena.

The girl mocks the "poor stitching" on the Goku Uniforms as Satsuki realizes that she was able to target the Banshi; a fact also noted by a disbelieving Shirō Iori. He informs Inumuta that the Banshi is the Life Fiber that gives a Goku Uniform its shape, and that no one should be able to identify it and remove it so easily. Elsewhere, Tsumugu confirms that the mysterious girl is none other than Nui Harime, Grand Couturier of REVOCS itself, Aikurō laments that the situation grows more complex and dangerous by the minute. Satsuki exchanges more banter with Nui before Ryūko interrupts, declaring that she doesn't care who she has to beat in order to get answers from Satsuki. Satsuki agrees to this before sitting down and taking a cup of tea from Mitsuzō Soroi - grimly noting that Ragyo has decided to interfere in her affairs and that the situation has fallen into Ryūko's hands.

As the horn for the match sounds, Ryūko asks Nui where her Goku Uniform is. Nui declares that she doesn't wear "such crude things" before demanding to see Ryūko's Kamui. The dark-haired transfer student is put off by Nui's childish behavior and seemingly physics-defying antics, but her confusion turns to shock when Nui reaches into her dress and pulls out a large purple sword - the other half of the Scissor Blade. Nui happily confirms that she was the one who killed Isshin Matoi, sending Ryūko into a rage.
