I think I mentioned early on that Atsuhiro Inukai is good at hitting a lot of different notes in one episode, and he's only gotten better since then.

Total agreement. And in a way, I hate to say it for what is supposed to be a show aimed toward kids to sell merchandise, but it is a reality that violence/war/aggression does hurt in a permanent way.

The fact that these actors SOLD it like this means that it's not just the writing, but the people chosen for this season are just outstanding. I kind of feel like this is what is needed, a real wakeup for some kids to understand what happens when you hurt others. I'm not asking for Afterschool Special levels of guilt trip, but how this was done was just right in my opinion. I freaking wish this was the attitude in the US to take this kind of story and make it stand.
