Episode 7: Scout

Double feature today since I didn't have time to do an episode a couple days back.

This episode marks the end of the anime's' introductory phase, and the plot begins to really kick up in terms of stakes and progress.

A breakthrough is made in the search for El Dorado, as disappearances directly connected to term begin to ramp up in count. And the more info is gathered about the situation, the more the term begins to sound like a cult rather than a place.

There's also the arrival of the "dark knight" of the show who appears to be a relative of Luke's'. And given he uses a polearm is makes me wonder if this is Zex or an expy of that suit, like how Zorro was to Zero in the first anime. No suit are used at all in this episode so no idea as of yet.

And I gotta give a big shout out to the head nun at the home Sophie stays at. She went out like a total badass.

The atmosphere and action are all around intense throughout a majority of the episode, and I think it's safe to say things are only gonna ramp up from here.
