Episode 15

You know I joked about Azazel's' intro advice before, but I do legit like how they've been handling it, given that it highlights how, brainwashed or not, it is still Mikhail under all of that make-up.

And he's sort of the main star of this episode, isn't he? Like, I'm sure the writers more intended for the growing bond between Ray and Rena to be the major selling point, given that it makes for the climax of the episode and all, but Azazel is just so cool there's just no way to upstage that!

The fight between Azazel and Bima, while featuring some cliches(Azazel standing on Bima's' blade!) is still very fun to watch, and my joke about Inoue last episode ended up being quite prophetic given that this episode features them clashing in the water. Taranis not being two different colors like Helios is actually a great touch; Emphasizing how Taranis, unlike Helios, is a weapon made only for destruction rather than salvation.

On the Megalodon side of things, however, I did like how the story took into account the very obvious solution of just tracking the laptop belonging to Belinda's' dad. And seeing that Randy could actually throw down was a really nice treat. And of course, that very last bit of the episode, with Iron Mask blowing up the ship while Azazel is on it? That's a great hook.

Overall, as action climaxes go, this one was alot of fun.
