[Frontier]

Metsu-Orochi is so powerful they have to use an untested weapon just to petrify the thing, and that takes the Nursedessei out from the sheer power. I guess that about balances out. Gargorgon doesn't mess around.

I love how Yuna is down and Kengo tries to cheer her up with a "Smile Smile" and they pan to the rest of the team and The Captain and Nanase have the same stoic expressions. Like, you can tell they're supporting her in their own way but they can't really smile. Even Akito smiles.

I thought Ignis just dressed like a pirate but it turns out his people just have an eclectic fashion sense. Also, pretty rough that Hudram seemingly stole the life from them and turned them into stone. Could they be saved after they defeat Hudram?

The Captain attacking Metsu-Orochi with the ground troops was pretty epic, but Kengo and Yuna firing actual machineguns was...weird.

Ignis being reminded of what happened to his people as he sees people fleeing from the monster is enough to drive him to attack Metsu-Orochi as Trigger Dark, although that ends up inciting a wide-spread attack that takes out Guts-Selects' main plan with the Guts-Falcon so...

And just when you think the Guts-Falcon is going to be useless again, Kengo pilots the thing manually, dodges all its blasts somehow with no flight training, and actually manages to hit Metsu-Orochi straight in the horn with the missile. That was pretty epic. Too bad Trigger Dark then just attacks the Guts-Falcon indiscriminately.

Then Carmearra shows up to kill Kengo (how does no one hear her yelling his name?), although Trigger Dark steals her attention away long enough for Trigger to finish Metsu-Orochi while dual wielding, which was honestly pretty cool.

Of course then Carmearra is still wearing to go and Glitter Trigger Eternity fades off...and then Carmearra gets flirty...and even Tigger Dark gaining the Sky Arrow and using a Finisher against Carmearra isn't enough to fully stop her.

Although the Guts-Select team standing by to protect Trigger is enough to inspire Dargon to ward Carmearra, off, although honestly I think they would probably have taken them.

The team figure out Ignis is Trigger Dark and lock him up, while being unable to obtain the power to defeat a Dark Giant means Ignis has just about given up.
