THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Apollo, Silvia, and Sirius are sent into battle to fight an army of shadow angels. After forming Aquarion, they hear the sound of a feather, then that of a child. It turns out to be Futaba, the shadow angel who’s been in the past couple of episodes. He’s using a feather’s power to jump from shadow angel mecha to shadow angel mecha, sometimes blowing them up for the fun of it. DEAVA dispatches a carrier plane with six special drones and the intent to capture their opponent. Apollo pulls off a variation of the Mugen punch, ejecting Futaba right into the net formed by the drones. The battle over, they escort the carrier to the New United Nations Army base.

That night, our pilots can hear the cries of Futaba while he’s being experimented on. The military machines cut off his wings, silencing him. While the shadow angels mourn the loss of their comarade, Toma is furious and calls forth his own special mecha.

Hm, is he dead or just wingless? Apollonius survived without his wings, after all.

But haha yeah they're fucked now. Angels be pissed. :D

It's tough to think of how the shadow angels could be nastier than their usual human harvesting selves, but it looks like Toma wants to find a way. This might have been the time to try to make a treaty or some type of contact with the shadow angels, but to look at it another way: we humans don't make treaties with cows (or dolphins, or seals....)
Please don't feed the trolls!

I have no absolutely no pity for those shadow angels. Think how many hundreds or thousands had already been killed by the kid in the city. He had it coming, and deserved whatever he got!

They really shouldn't have let that kid mess with that feather and get captured.

So they cut off his wings (which they didn't really show) and he died, but Apollo lived without wings, didn't he? or didn't he? I dunno now.

Touma is pissed! D:

That kid was immature. He honestly got what he deserved, as cold hearted as that may seem, and even though it doesn't *appear* like the humans intentionally killed him. But that's how things go sometimes, unknown experimentation and all. I was hoping they'd learn something about the angels, and flip him to their side or something.

The shadow angels are crying? I thought they had no time for emotions and friendship? Pretty sure they've said that before. Though that obviously makes no sense considering the one angel loved apollonius.

These angels are hypocrites and monsters. Point blank. Period. Mad that humans killed their own without any self reflection that that's what they've been doing to humans for millennia.

Everybody: Don't kill the kid! He's just a kid!
Apollo: Yea, but he's indiscriminately killing people for fun.
Everybody: noooooo! He's just a kid! He doesn't know any better!
Apollo: People are literally dying in explosions...
Everybody: NOOOOOOOOOO! He's just a kid! Maybe we can reason with him!!
Apollo: FINE!!! I'll catch the little shit... jeez...
Authorities: Awesome! Now we'll take the kid, torture him, cut off his wings, and kill him!
Everybody: ...Apollo, you need to take responsibility for this!!
Apollo:
