Episode Context

As the first of only two OVA episodes, 'Rusty Angel' carries the full burden of establishment, introducing Gally, Ido, and the Scrapyard from scratch with no prior groundwork to build on. Everything here is foundational: the emotional stakes, the world's rules, and the central relationship that drives the story. It feeds directly into the concluding episode, making these two entries function essentially as a single feature-length narrative.
