Boy, what a weighty penultimate episode...

The brief callbacks to the other members lives before the operation (Anri jogging with music, Teruaki's and Gento's family, Yasunobu with the Washing Machine), even getting to see Retsu again, who I'm starting to wonder if he's going to turn out to be the surprise hero seeing as he managed to recover Emi's father's journal.

It's quite interesting that our "villains" all seem to have humanity's interest in mind in terms of surviving, but they really don't want people learning more than they should, so it'll be curious to see what that's all about.

And Valloran has a Gigan Buzzsaw! That's neat. Also, it would appear that not only Gento, but Blazar as well suffered in continuous transformations, leading to a reverse sequence of Gento trying to save Blazar. This show knew what it was doing!
