THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Kind of a special ending today, with an extra 30 seconds or so after the ED finished to show the Altair charging back up. But the focus this week is on two main things: Shima’s original and Lu Sheng. Shima’s original is actually written in the credits simply as “monk,” which is kind of fitting given how important those two Buddhist sayings were to this episode (see the links in the summary for more information). In any case, Shima’s original did indeed have a resurrection system ready, but now the Oceanus seems all but done for, so Kyo and company will have to find another way to get it back to Earth. Actually, Shima’s original’s other technology, the layered QL, seems like it’s just a way to power up the Altair so that it can match up against the new Anti-Zega. But it’s to be expected given that this is still a mecha show.

As for Lu Sheng’s feelings, that kiss was quite surprising. However you want to interpret it, Lu Sheng does think of Kyo quite highly now, and is bent on upholding the same principles as Kyo (protecting Maihama, living for the person you love). But doing so means that Lu Sheng is really close to disappearing forever, if he isn’t already completely gone. I doubt that he is though since we didn’t see what happened to May-Yu and since I’d expect such an important character to actually get a real death/disappearing scene. And I just had the horrible thought that maybe this series will end in Lu ShengXKyo lol. :)

Next battle is taking place in the Maihama server itself.
