— It’s strange to see Toru try to reason with Akari: “But why did you betray Chaika? If you abandon your master, you’re no longer a saboteur.” You’d think if you know someone as long as he’s known her, you would suspect some sort of foul play. For instance, mind control… This is even easier in

— At the start of the scene, he says, “On the battlefield, a saboteur does whatever it takes.” But when he got the chance to put Akari down for good, he hesitates. I guess he’s not a real saboteur. I’m not even being snarky here. Thinking about it, his former master kept chiding his abilities, claiming that our hero wasn’t cut out to be a saboteur. Y’know what? Maybe he isn’t. Maybe Toru’s entire problem is that he’s been trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, and that’s why he could never find a job before he met Chaika. Even after meeting Chaika, however, he’s more of a retainer or even a knight than a saboteur.

— Chaika still trusts “Layla.” This girl, man…

— As always, when there are three factions, two of the weaker factions will team up against the remaining one. Zita saves Toru’s life despite Vivi’s protestations. Speaking of which, Vivi is a rather one-dimensional character. Her reaction to every single situation is rather basic and lacking of nuance: “Zita, what are you saying? He’s–” He’s what? The enemy? Beneath her? Granted, after the incident with the purse thief a couple of episodes ago, my opinion of Vivi was already low to begin with, but everything I see here just reinforces the idea that she’s rather simple-minded. When you combined that with a sense of righteousness and superiority, you get an insufferable character.

— Case in point, Vivi indignantly asks, “You want to have the enemy help us escape?” So you’d rather die than be saved by the enemy? Now, we’re not talking about a child rapist or a mass murderer here. The two sides simply disagree on what’s to be done with Gaz’s remains. I think Vivi is being ridiculous and not in a good way. It’s even funnier that Zita has to remind Vivi what Alveric would want. Vivi will capitulate as soon as her beloved is brought up.

— Doesn’t Chaika find it odd that one of the supposedly captured maidens has the means to prepare tea for the both of them? I guess not…

— Layla hints at what we’ve been suspecting ever since we saw the scar on Chaika’s neck: isn’t Chaika just a creation? And isn’t her mission just something she’s been programmed to do? Alright then, I’m prepared to hear the truth. Or rather, the truth as Layla sees it. Everyone has their own take on the world. I don’t doubt Layla has some very interesting tidbits to tell us, but I wouldn’t take them at face value just yet.

— Supposedly, when Chaika learns the meaning of her existence, she’ll fall into true despair. C’mon, quit teasing us already. Just tell us. But alas, the anime cuts back to Toru and his newfound allies.

— The bad guys are not all that different in on respect: like Toru, they felt lost after the war. Thanks to their chance encounter with Layla, however, they’ve found a sense of purpose. It’s just too bad that sense of purpose involves kidnapping young girls and dicing them up in order to serve as magic fuel. Speaking of the dead girls, Toru removes a loose panel to discover a bunch of dead, brutalized girls hidden in the airship walls. So much for that guy’s theory that the kidnapped girls are now a part of Ricardo’s army. It’s alright, dude. Better luck next time.

— Still, something bugs me. After ten episodes of a rather carefree adventure, this has gotten rather grim all of a sudden, hasn’t it? I don’t know… there’s just something odd about how light-hearted the first 80% of the series was. Toru dueled a dragon until the dragon became a blonde loli who then joined his harem. Toru falls into a canyon and hallucinates a life alone with Chaika, but this scene was mostly used as comic relief. Toru and his girls then pretended to be a circus troupe in order to fool a bunch of thieves masquerading as the Neo Gaz Empire. Aaaaand now we’re dealing with a bunch of carved up girls stuffed inside a wall. The inconsistency in tone gives me pause.
