the transition episode as the main mission wraps and the show pivots toward its endgame. Seina's squad being disbanded feels like it should be more emotionally devastating than the episode quite manages to convey — the separation deserved a little more room to breathe. that said the new threat emerging from Tarant's forces keeps momentum going and prevents the episode from feeling like a hollow wind-down. the character moments between Seina and each crew member in their brief goodbyes are sweet even if slightly rushed.
