Way ahead of ya*starting popcorn machines*

I really enjoyed this episode for all the reasons stated by others, but I think I was even more excited for this week's voice drama just to see and hear Mebius chatting it up with Z and Zero.

Voiced by Jun Fukuyama aka Baron Nero from ToQger.

I've been wondering if the show had just dropped the dude from Wizard and never bothered to update the opening credits. Kinda wish they had. What a dick.

Really good episode, though. I honestly wondered if they were really going to kill Yoko there for a second.

Reality itself collapsing getting magically fixed by Z shooting a beam at it is a bit of a cop-out. But still a really good, tense episode. I'm excited to see where the whole endgame of this series goes now.

I don't know if like Mebius' new voice. He sounds better than he did in the Ginga S movie I guess?

I think that's Celebro controlling him?

What throws me off is how articulate he is which is not something I would associate with him, but after they met the personality of this guy turned 180 so...

Yeah, I figured a lot of things made it obvious -- we don't see the outcome of Celebro and Wajima's scene; Celebro is nowhere to be seen in the rest of the episode despite clearly having his sights set on D4; Wajima has a complete 180 in personality and opinions... everything's pointing towards Celebro so much that if it's not him it's a deliberate fake-out.

The one thing I'm missing which I would assume they would do to let the viewer know is just one small scene at the end where Director Kuriyama walks away and one eye starts glowing red. But maybe they don't want us to know yet.

So I'm not 100% sure it's Celebro although it would make perfect sense.

Hang on the Commander's been Wajima from Wizard the whole time? Knew I recognised him from somewhere.

Yeah, I'mma just jump on the Celebro's still in the random dude and is planning on hijacking stuff once things get far along.

Because as interesting as the Commander dude would be, being controlled by him. I honestly think this is just a simple case of the higher ups over STORAGE just getting incredibly annoyed and overconfident at Storage and their new technology respectively.

I do think that Celebro is going to hijack whatever the big end goal is, but right now it is absolutely just Human Hubris in full swing which honestly fits with what we've seen of the Allied Forces being built up as, a bunch of maniacs who think having the bigger gun is the selling point.

Also this is coming off the M1 episode, and while that episode was comedic, remember it had Hebikura stalling the hell out of the hire ups with thinly veiled excuses. So Wajima getting mad at Hebikura and having that sort of personality shift makes sense given not that long ago Hebikura was already defying orders to kill M1. They're probably just fed up with them at this point.
