THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Most of this episode ended up being fighting, but I guess most of the story development came in the last five or so minutes. According to the interface, Naaga isn’t any one person, but rather everyone. The Naaga and the Gards-orm goal ideology seems to be heavily focused on evolution, regardless of what gets in their way. But that evolution feels very artificial to me, turning this into somewhat of an artificial vs. natural fight.

It was interesting that they decided to censor Kurashige stabbing his hand with a pen. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised since ZEGAPAIN airs in the evening and not late late night as most other animes do. In any case, it still looked a bit weird seeing Kurashige’s hand fuzzed out like that. Maybe the DVD version won’t have it.

As expected, things aren’t quite going according to plan. A few of the Oceanus-class ships were destroyed early on, and the Oceanus itself has yet to make contact with the original Shima, all of while the clock is ticking. Lu Sheng says in the preview that the resurrection has failed, and that sequence seems to show Shima dying. Maybe it means that they weren’t able to contact the original Shima or maybe there’s some other twist in store. I guess we’ll find out next week.

Why re-materialize the ZegaPain if you have the power to de-materialize it.

First half was boring fighting I did not pay attention to, last ten minutes were interesting lore.

Decent episode. I wanna see what this Anime will pull off next, because this stuff has been mind blowing so far.
