I'm definitely looking forward to what Baron -- a grim red-and-black-clad young man who wouldn't trust anyone else with power -- and Gaim -- a legit Good Overlord? -- have to say to Geiz and Sougo. This episode was fairly light on their interactions (the bit with Kouta and Sougo in the beginning was real This Will All Make Sense Later), but I'm sure Episode 12 will have some meaty scenes.

Yeah I'm sure Sougo's actions in the last arc alarmed Geiz the Future Warrior as a sign of Oma-Zi-O, but Geiz the Teenager? Definitely not happy that the kid that he was slooooowly believing wasn't all that bad betrayed that trust. Maybe one day Geiz will learn to talk things out properly instead of immediately attempting to shift himself into Future Warrior mode?

The BEST PART of this story, narratively, is that it's just about Geiz getting mopey because Sougo was mean to him and let him down. That's it! It's just about Geiz'z Hurt Feelings, the end, and I love that. He's such a transparently sweet boy, dressed up in the elaborate neckwear of a Serious Man. It's great, and I'm glad the show is acknowledging its greatness.

Kaito has for sure been killing and eating all of the Team Baron guys Another Gaim tosses into Helheim.
