Episode 23 "Gamu Expelled!!"

As Fujimiya action increase; Gamu feels the pressure of his connection with him causing the title of the episode to happen, getting expelled from XIG. And man Fujimiya sure is a lady’s man. A significant portion of this episode is dedicated to both Reiko & Inamori and the effect they both have on Fujimiya as a person. All of this interpersonal drama has begun bubbling onwards and over the course of the next few episodes it will slowly simmer and explode despite not being a single episode it is still part of a larger story as we concluded the first half of Gaia.

Gomenos is a tragic kaiju forcibly awakened from its slumber and mind controlled by Inamori and forced to be destroyed by Gaia. Embodying the iconic quote by Ishir⁠ō Honda
"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them." Its design fits in well with the other underground monsters giving it a nice cohesion to the rest in particular resembling Geel quite a bit.

The track “Trust” plays during Reiko and Inamori conversation as both are lovers of Fujimiya there heart to heart is a direct version of the central conflict in Fujimiya right now, This serene track plays over a conflicted person through simple dialogue.
