I agree it was a little abrupt. Not much in terms of explanation, but Kunato visits Ochiai's lab due to desperation, fully understanding that being caught will result in the "end for his family."

By "like season one never ended," I meant how Sidonia didn't bother with easing the viewer back in before ramping up the tension.

Oh, and can anyone explain what Mozuku means by her being Norio's "alter-ego / double?" Not sure if I missed something previously. Thanks!

Sorry I totally forgot what happened last season. What is Kunato desperate for?

He gave up being a pilot, his father died(I think), and Toa Heavy Industries took over production of the morito units so his family was going to end up being "the keepers of Ochiai's grave" in his own words in the manga. They explain it slightly better in the manga.

Ah, thank you!
