So suddenly the Terrorist Riders™ are a LOT more powerful. I mean it's not like Jin was doing badly before, but the lot of them just absolutely wrecked Valkyrie at the beginning and proceeded to destroy Vulcan's life too!

Talking of which, looks like next episode is gonna be Fuwa's "oh you saved my life, so I don't hate you now" development. I would almost doubt that due to it usually being much later... but something I've been loving about Zero-One is that it's got a really fast pace to it and mostly getting all the slow stuff done very quickly and out of the way, in pleasant similarities to Build. We technically -have- a Status Quo that we're following, but mysteries are being unveiled at a breakneck pace and as of today it looks like the stakes have been raised even further.

If Fuwa does come around to stuff next episode though... that would excite me a lot, because it means he'd have some NEW sort of development to make; and I'd be super interested in seeing what that would be. If he (mostly) gets over his main hurdle that quickly, where does he go next? I will admit that despite enjoying Zero-One so far, he's certainly been the most... uninteresting, by-the-numbers character the show has had? Just about everyone else has something very interesting and different to them, but Fuwa is definitely just the "guy that hates the robots because of a tragic backstory" one. So if they can move beyond that so quick, it'd be awesome!
