A2’s disruptive behavior and mysterious energy really shakes things up!! And WOW, that ruined bridge and buildings with the rays of sunlight peeking through the clouds… The Flooded City’s vibes are immaculate! Perfect stage for the beautiful moments between 2B and 9S 🫶 When the piano part of “Salvation” started kicking in, I felt like crying yet again 🥹 I like that this ep shows the genuine softer side of 2B before plunging us into an intense and serious tone on 9S’s side. (They foil each other so well!!) Side note: the bonus ending in this ep features my favorite joke ending in the game LOL 🐟

This was a chill episode for the most part. 9S and 2B were side questing to the max. This episode also shows 9S delving deeper into his concern with YorHa.

A slow-paced start, mostly consisting of conversations between 2B and 9S, but it became intense toward the end. It felt heartwarming to watch them enjoy what Earth has to offer, even if it's all in ruins now. 9S in that tunnel scared the hell out of me. The background music never fails.
