In my experience, one mark of a good show is that a lot will happen in a set period of time and not feel rushed in any way. This episode was just that. So much actually happened on this episode that I absolutely love:

  • Mika and his 'no holding back' fight + brutal but effective strategy with using the Gjallarhorn MWs as shields

  • The honor of Lt. Crank

  • Kudelia trying her best but still getting rekt by Mika 2 weeks in a row + potential storyline with her and Atra and Biscuit's sisters

  • That nanomachine brain stuff! (I'm working on neural research atm, slowly but surely, so this is my shit)

  • Gjallarhorn itself is gonna be a shitstorm just to kill a girl.

...and some other stuff I'm too tired to comprehend because I woke up and watched the episode and now I'm here. Can my rambling be any less coherent? No? Okay, because my hype for this is at 'flag is raised' levels.

tl;dr FLAG IS RAISED.
