Episode 11: What Wish Can't Come True?

While this episode does have alot of the usual Dynazenon fare, it does have a few aspects to it that help it to stand out.

To start with the one major negative I had, I didn't like how Gauma was treated like a crazy person or the one who was in the wrong throughout all of this, because he was right. Just because Kaiju have stopped appearing, that doesn't excuse the actions of the Eugenicists at all.

As well, the twist about him being revived as a zombie would have been an interesting hook... if it had been at all brought up earlier. I suppose our hint was the dark circles around his eyes, but I always felt that that was more of a result of how tired and worn down he was due to his overall situation rather than anything else. To do something like this so late seems pointless to me.

Besides that though I felt this episode was... alright.

Raising the question about what do after something you've been invested in for so long is over is a pretty good question to ask, even if I felt the show didn't adequately go through with it, especially given this is the penultimate episode.

The one major positive of the whole thing though was actually the twist with Shizume being a Kaiju all along. It not only makes sense, but the foreshadowing of it was right there all along and I can't believe I missed it(it's his red eyes if anyone doesn't know what I mean). I suppose this also provides a meta reason as to why Knight keeps his left eye hidden ontop of the in-universe one. So yeah, don't say I never gave Dynazenon credit for anything.

Not really too much else to say about this one other than that the next episode is the finale and... I don't have high hopes, unfortunately. But, calling it now, the soul of the Princess is totally inside of Dynazenon.
