This episode is a love letter to Madao, Hasegawa has been the ultimate underdog since the beginning, he lost his job, his family, his dignity. He's been a punchline for hundreds of episodes. and now he's stepping up,the other branches of the Altana Liberation Army are ready to give up. They're about to surrender and Madao rallies them? That's insane. The guy who couldn't even keep a convenience store job just became a military leader.
