EPISODE REVIEWS
Easily one of the best episodes so far! It's super lore-heavy and packed with raw emotion. The transition into Destroy Mode feels earned, and that intense orbital drop at the end is wild!
You can skip the narration up to the part where it explains what happened on the fight between Marida and Unicorn (if you are paying attention to what was said on the previous ep. then you would get why I put Unicorn instead of Banagher 😉). This was an emotional episode, Banagher managed to gain something but the exchange was too much and the scene at the end was like a nail in a coffin for him. There's also a frustrating action that Marida made, she is just too nice of a person for doing that 😤
...Honestly? You don't need to use such a dramatic factor to show Banagher's development as a main character, I prefer character writing the little things that change a person. Even though the farewell hit the audience in the gut, it still felt rushed and unnecessary.
