Synopsis

In the 71st year of the True Era, humans have successfully expanded into space and have started living in independent galactic colonies. The world itself is split between two major nations: the Atlantic Rim United States (ARUS) and the Dorssia Military Pact Federation (Dorssia)—superpowers that wage war against each other on Earth and far into outer space. In this war-torn era, a third faction comprised of Japan and Islands of the Oceanian Republic (JIOR), reside peacefully and prosper economically, maintaining neutrality between themselves and their militant neighbors. Kakumeiki Valvrave commences in an outer space JIOR colony, where 17-year-old Haruto Tokishima's peaceful life is turned upside down as a sudden Dorssian fleet breaches the neutral colony. Their objective is to seize the Valvraves: powerful, but rumored mechanized weapons hidden deep within Haruto's school, Sakimori Academy. In the ensuing chaos, Haruto stumbles upon one of the targeted Valvraves. With his friends' lives in peril, Haruto enters the mecha and seals a contract for its power in exchange for his humanity. With the aid of L-elf—an enigmatic Dorssian agent and gifted strategist—Haruto and the Valvrave initiate a revolution to liberate the world. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

The Season finale, is an absolute fever dream of mecha action, political drama, and massive lore drops. It finishes exactly how Valvrave started leaving your jaw on the floor and making you question everything you just watched. It’s chaotic, melodramatic, and peak Sunrise.

This episode is a chaotic, action packed rush that serves as the explosive prelude to the season finale. It takes all the political tension from the previous episode and detonates it on the battlefield. It sets up a cliffhanger that leaves the fate of New JIOR hanging by a thread.

Episode 10 cranks the political and psychological thriller elements up to an eleven. The episode has very little mecha action, but the psychological maneuvering and the looming dread of betrayal keep me completely glued to the screen till the end of the episode.
