Alright time for catch up!

Episode 12: A good official showing for the fully functional Terraphaser. It was nice to get two episodes of it fully coming into play to debut it. Though of course as this series has shown, it's not just Terraphaser alone that can help turn the tide but Decker as well.

Episode 13: Fairly standard clipshow episode, though with a fun premise. The end where everyone was worried about Kanata and them all pulling through was a real good character moment.

Episode 14: Holy shit, like, I sorta figured this was likely to happen but it was nice that we had a full 3 episodes to sort of chew on this beforehand. Which is why I consider Terraphaser a better Ultroid Zero in how they were done. Given Ultroid Zero showed up in one episode only to be used for evil in the very next episode, it was nice to give some breathing room and hope that Terraphaser would turn out differently.

It's also nice to see Spheresaurus again, as well as over the course of these past several episodes the contextualization that it isn't a unique enemy and is merely just a high level Sphere soldier.

Episode 15: Goddamn, I was expecting something big after the last episode and this episode can be described in one word alone: satisfaction. It gave us a lot more information on past clues and events that helped set the stage for the latter half of the series.

Also it looks like Agams is going to be our recurring bad guy for the rest of the series, which makes sense. Even though we had Celebro in Z, it feels like it's been a bit since we've had someone like him. Also helps that his situation is unique in that he started as an ally before revealing his true nature.

But man, seeing Decker interact with Kanata was fun and I was curious as to what specifically his deal was. His little namedrop at the end definitely makes a lot of the moments with him and Kanata more heartwarming in retrospect.

Yeah, Decker's definitely becoming a series I'm enjoying more and more as each episode passes.
