| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ok episode, but hard to believe the big boss would interfere with such a chance to destroy the Yamato.. |
 |
| I agree. It seemed that Desler was a good strategist, he wouldn't interfere in Domel's plans |
| They sure were in a pinch right there! Good victory this time again, let's see what's next! |
 |
| A fun idea spoiled by a nonsensical intervention. Based on what he has already done to eliminate the Yamato, why would the ruler refuse this cost? 2.5+/5 I could believe that the writers had no idea to sort out the situation... |
| I knew from the start that the plan to use an artificial sun will backfire but I would have never guess it would be thanks to Desler... Either this base was way too important to be destroyed (but Domel should knew this too) or the writers did a poor job (more likely). BTW, how do you make an artificial sun ? |

| -Didn't have hard time believing him intervening. It might have not been his style and eventhough he doesn't exactly value life it doesn't mean he would allow his own soldiers being used in that way. It's different than saying that "go kill yourself in combat". -I think it would been nice if we had seen Kodai land and looking at the plants and creatures to foreshadow the ending. This was the first time when Kodai was really using his brains but i wouldn't choose him as the substitute captain. He's being shown acting rashly and idiotic many times and he doesn't have the finese that real captain has. Some of his negative aspects can be useful at times but having him on helm just makes you want to give pray to godess of fortune. |
| I'm always a little impressed when this show has some subtlety. I think the captain realizes now that Kodai is maturing into a gifted and insightful leader with the way he prevented their potential destruction, so he decided to take this opportunity to officially hand the role of captain over to him if it should come to it. It's never made explicit what the captain is thinking at any given point. Our only clues are those trademark static shots of his eyes either fully or partially obscured by his hat while he sits and considers what's going on around him. He keeps it close to the chest, and even the audience is left guessing what's in his head much of the time. This episode (along with episode 10, one of the best so far) rewards our patience by giving us an ending scene where he indirectly reveals what's been on his mind, and I'm impressed at the amount of depth that this very old space opera is able to convey while simultaneously setting the standard for the rest of the genre to come. |
