I'm sure she no longer follows Tarsian's orders because this particular imperative was nullified by a "protect ATLAS" imperative. Although now that I think about it, Tarsian's order to reformat Zeus must have meant destroying Ryouko's personality: perhaps I've finally figured out why Medusa was created ... Maybe a similar scheme is going on with regards to Mikuni: there might be a loophole which nullifies the heir's control if the heir were to order Zeus to destroy the world, and Ryouko only manipulated Medusa so that it would try to destroy the world instead of explicitly programming it to do so. I found the Sayoko-Shougo revelation to have come out of the blue, too, but I don't think it was just an excuse to free her. I think it will be an excuse for <em>Shougo</em> to do something later.

Though the world is going to get destroyed either way, I thought Ryouko was channeling the loner path the past few episodes. Then she supposedly wouldn't want Mikuni. Anyway, it makes sense now why Nagiko called her a puppet. How did they create such a twisted personality though.. ^^; The Sayako-Shougo revelation felt a bit too random, like they just needed an excuse why someone let her free. I'm guessing that the masochistic guy will turn out to be Mikuni's brother, Klarin's father turn out to be Tarsian or Zhang. All random guesses though XD I don’t really get her “I won’t listen to anyone’s orders” and then the “I’ll accept Mikuni as successor”.
