Seriously, I cannot praise this soundtrack enough, it's just so damn good! The beginning of the episode is incredible because they weave in this distinct, haunting Japanese feudal music with traditional instrumentation that perfectly matches the tragedy unfolding on screen. The writing here is peak, top-tier Gundam. Watching the tragic fallout of the clash and seeing the physical, measuring-gauge-breaking psycho-waves explode out of pure grief is a total emotional gut-punch. Absolute CINEMA.
I wish that the studio retained the previous OP but I guess it was used to set the mood of the previous episode. This was an emotional episode, get ready to get hit right in the feels. If you also have read the novel expect to get hit thrice(heh) the intensity because of the character's backstory. The soundtrack on this episode is spot on again, it's like the one-two punch combo of delivering the feels
TWICE, THEY DID MY BOY RIDDHE DIRTY TWICE. Jokes aside, I really don't like how they portrayed Riddhe as the show progressed. He had so much potential to be a better character, and so was Marida. Kudos to the soundtrack choice though, it really led the scene even more emotional.
