This episode is filled with drama, action and suspense. It provides meaningful character development for Haruna and to some extent with Kirishima 😅 making both characters more human like in comparison with their initial appearance. The soundtrack does an excellent job of setting the mood for each scene, enhancing both the emotional and suspenseful moments. Along with Ep 3 and 4, this episode also highlights the darker side of humanity, showing how desperation can drive people to stoop to such lows. The ending does a great job of building anticipation for the next episode. With Gunzou heading toward their own base and an intriguing scene with Takao in the final scene.
