All that tension builds and then comes crashing down.

It is interesting to see what exactly the different Immortal Nine get out of life. Regardless of if Verde had a connection to the Alters or not, you can see that this is a man who has lived long enough to hold a very bleak outlook on life. He definitely raises some good points, and he gives Rouge something to think about, both directly and indirectly.

Since well, looks like Rouge is starting to get haunted by her recent past what with that hallucination she had before she snapped out of it. That said, we do get to see glimpses of the two who Rouge faced down before Viola, both their normal and Gladiator forms. Which I think is nice since we entered the story after they were dealt with.

I've not much else to say but fun fact about Afdal/Verde, his Seiyuu is Kenjiro Tsuda (Seto Kaiba, Kasshine from Zi-O, Vail from Revice). It's funny that I keep hearing him more and more these days. It was definitely a surprise when he first spoke up in Episode 2. It was also a surprise to hear him show up in another show that was airing at the same time, Bravern, but towards the end of that show's cour.
