Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 23: Stop the World ]

Wow. Holy shit. Um, wow. I just can’t believe what happened in this episode. The surprise that I was hoping didn’t happen actually happened. As of this episode, Lockon has died. The scenes leading up to his demise were all saddening and the impact was immensely strong with Haro constantly calling out Lockon’s name. The realisation of his death though hit really hard once everyone on the Ptolemaios found out simultaneously and their reactions were perfectly executed, from Sumeragi to Setsuna. The creators did an excellent job with those scenes and so far with the entire series as well. I think they should be applauded for their efforts thus far and I hope the last two episodes of the season are just as powerful, if not more.

At this point, I’m hoping Setsuna kills Ali before the season is over. I think the guy has long overstayed his welcome. Or do they plan to let him survive for revenge to be one of the reasons for Setsuna to continue fighting? Who the hell knows at this point.
