Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 22: Raid -Time of Trial- ]

Well now, this episode turned out better than the previous one despite being slow paced in the beginning. It looks like Sakaki’s stubborn mentally about dragons just being tools has been stomped on and buried. Though I’m still wondering about something…why the hell is Widow so devoted to Kazuki? Is it because they share some sadness? Is that all? If that’s the only reason then that’s a pretty shaky existence if you ask me. He hasn’t treated her with courtesy and I doubt he has ever thought about her well-being even once since he’s almost always thinking of killing Jin (don’t get me started on his feminine gasp in response to Widow slapping the hell out of Jin).

Lastly, what in the hell just happened at the end? Is that telling me that Machina and Akira are still alive? Did some of the writers think it’d be ironic and “punny” to pull a deus ex machina? Well, I have to give it to them for being able to pull it off because I surely thought those two were resting in peace. I’d like to see how they’ll contribute to these last few episodes.
