You know, while I like the series so far, I absolutely despise those kids. They do stupid things on their own and everyone else pays for it, and even if they're not doing anything wrong they're just plain annoying.

Honor for honor eh? Not bad Bes. Not bad at all. Although calling Gije a samurai is a long shot. Making excuses for his defeat? Dont make me laugh. An honorable samurai would never do that.

Since both the buff clan and our MCs are from 'earth' and are 'earthlings' I wonder which side is from our earth.

I was really feeling that Laser Sword fight between Bes and Gije. I'm glad Bes got the best of him in the end.

What?! Kasha and Sheryl are awesome. I like how aggressive and outright ruthless Kasha can be. She was really about to stomp the shit out of Gije. Sure, Sheryl may be a hardass but she always has a point. Because of those two stupid kids people lost their lives.

I really liked this episode. It did a pretty good job of reinforcing what seems to be one of the main themes of this show so far; just because they're the enemy, doesn't mean they're not people just like us (although they're actually aliens who may or may not have actual biological differences from us, but that's besides the point). It also has quite a lot of HONOR in it, and that's right up my alley.
As always, Sheryl and Kasha are unreasonable, and constantly demonize the enemy. After all, they're not people, they're aliens, so they are clearly all bad. The parallels are stronk.

Watching Gije and Bes fight with their "lightsabers" I couldn't help but let Duel of the Fates play in the back of my head.

Funny to see some of them respect each other despite how treacherous both camps are (and how much both like to play the victims and demonize the opponent)

Sheryl and Kasha having distinctive traits is actually a good thing.

4/5 Adding dinosaurs is never a bad thing.

Great episode. That lightsaber fight was dope, and Bes is quickly my favorite character; he's a lot like Bright but also uses a lightsaber.

Also, the ED song has yet to be skipped in 8 episodes. Absolutely great.

Probably the best episode so far, though I was hoping after the hyperspace jump that we might get a break from clan vs humans. I mean what was the point of going somewhere else entirely and all the talk about the hyperspace exit only for the other guys to easily follow them.

Anyway not that I expect much else, this is a Tomino 80's series after all. Endless battle and going round in circles is kinda what these shows are from my experience. I have a love/hate relationship with them in that regard. I mean since the first episode this whole series has been one long battle with the clan guys just coming back over and over again.

But alas as previously mentioned that is just the nature of these shows. Product of the era I guess, just wish we got more story development and space between the battles because after awhile it just makes every confrontation less interesting.

I kinda agree with Kasha here, they should've killed gije, he is not a true samurai, he attacked and killed civilians for no reason. You may argue that he didn't kill cosmo and bes when he got the chance but he did that out of arrogance. It's kill or be killed and the earthlings have inferior resources.
Kasha is savage

I liked a lot this episode, especially the dynamics of honor betwees Bes, Cosmo and Gije, they were all very cool.
I also loved how they treated the kids even if they did something bad, Bes and Cosmo are very soft with them and I think is a good thing.
on the other hand, I can't really seem to like Kasha.
