Oh wow, 003 saving the day for once? that's a nice change of pace. Hopefully not the last you will see of it as you don't need to see her get saved all the time, she can handle plenty herself as this episode proved.

This was the "sunglasses can be worn by heroes too" episode. Make more sensethan the ridiculous dinosaur episode.

003 is not Sailor Scout. She doesn't need love to be the motivator for her to fight. Moreso, she already established that she gets her way and mostly does what she wants. Why would she now resort to asking for permission to sav the day? It takes away from the power of her actions.

If I look at it like baby steps, I can be happy 003 got to save the day. Plus, with that incapacitation beam, she got to do it her way, with no casualties.

Side note. Do the animators have a hand fetish? They make a serious point of animating 003's hands as well as making them big enough to be somewhat realistic. No other character gets this treatment. It's unusual for this show. At least this show doesn't do the Quentin Tarentino approach and shove the fetish down your throat.

This episode was just ok. It may have been an episode created to throw little girls a bone, so they could get their own relatable episode to enjoy. I would appreciate it, if the show doesn't use that excuse to make a just alright episode. Especially after the last two episodes.

If I look at it like baby steps, I can be happy 003 got to save the day. Now 003 has two episodes where took care of things mostly by herself. Plus, with that incapacitation beam this episode, she got to do it her way, with no casualties.
