The 86 barely get a moment to breathe after losing colleagues before the Republic is already pushing them toward the next mission. It's quite sad that their grief is treated as irrelevant. Plot twist, I definately wasn't ready for Lena to start developing feelings for Shin.

It's refreshing to see more of Shin's human side, where he seems less aloof and distant, not because he's emotionally unavailable, but because he carries a lot of weight in him. This anime knows how to treat copious death with gravitas and weight rather than shock value.

This is a heavy and sad episode from the start. We get a flashback from Shin finding Shourei's headless corpse. Meanwhile as the legion advances they rapidly adapting to Spearhead's ambushes thus suffering two casualties on the team.

This one feels heavy from start to finish. Even with bright flowers around them, the mood is sad and lonely. Shin’s past with his brother hurts, and mercy-killing Daiya to stop the Legion from taking his brain was brutal. Now we truly see why he’s called Undertaker. Emotional.

This was a really heavy episode. Even though the flowers in the field were bright, it still felt really heavy and sad. I have felt the weight of those who have died before. This left me a feeling of loneliness and dread, and have started to understand why Shin is called that way.

Another gut punch of an episode. Watching their numbers shrink week after week really hurts. The lively crowd from EP 1 feels like a distant memory now. And the worst part? They’re still out there with zero backup. It’s heartbreaking and honestly so frustrating to sit through.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the exact halfway point of the 11-episode cour, Episode 6 pivots from the character establishment and world-building of Episodes 1-5 into the season's more consequential back half. The squadron dynamics and individual backstories developed in Episode 5 now carry real weight as the Legion's evolving threat forces higher personal stakes. This episode functions as the emotional fulcrum of the season, deepening attachments that the remaining episodes will test relentlessly.
