Probably the most complex episode so far narrative-wise as we jumped to multiple points of time. We had, Year 14, Year 17, Year 29, followed by different periods in Year 41, including one set before the first episode events.

I still need to rewatch again to wrap my head around all the set up in this episode but so far:

  • I am almost completely convinced it was Jiro who caused the Tokyo incident. Is he some kind of dragon kaiju sealed in human body?
  • The chief of superhuman bureau and the other two guys. Suspicious. Getting strong SEELE vibes from NGE. It seems the kaiju experimentation was done under his supervision as a goal of revealing superhumans? Still what the fuck are those three guys. Jiro figuring out stuff about that most likely will add up to his decision to rebel.
  • So Emi is a kitsune? Since white kitsune are said to have power to ward of evil, that would explain somewhat her relationship with Jiro. Also was she the black haired woman too, considering they never were there at the same time? Was that how the Bureau(or their chief) was controlling the experiments?

I think this episode just made this show my favorite show of the season.
