「動乱」 (Douran)
“Disturbance”
Well it looks like the series is finally reaching the point where Samonji clashes with Holmes/Garp and Cayenne with Zarl Lontar, as the stage is set for a finale with an army of new Trail Kriegers on both sides. What comes as a bit of a surprise are the circumstances that got us here. Cayenne won’t give up on the war, disobeys orders, and starts a radical movement within the Arandas army that wants to continue fighting. Caught in his movement is our stoic captain, whose opinion on continuing the fight is still somewhat unclear. On the Ingelmia side, Zarl’s role has been replaced by Lontar, who’s manipulative and cunning in a different way. Within Unit 8, Tokimune has long since “graduated” from the reckless, disobedient, dead sister-obsessed pilot and has become a respectable main character. Together, all these developments suggest that the story will conclude around Unit 8 stepping in to get Samonji out of Cayenne’s court-martial-worthy actions, especially now that Suzushiro is in charge. In all likelihood, Izumi will have some involvement in this regard as well, seeing as he’s been promoted to a higher position of power within the Arandas army.
Looking back, I really can’t say any of these developments came as a surprise; however, it’s become rather apparent that Argevollen isn’t going for shock value whatsoever. Up until now, the writers have hinted at the direction things were heading early on and gave viewers plenty of to let each new development sink in. Just take these past three episodes for instance, where there’s been a clear shift of focus to Samonji and mention of the “noise” within the U-Link System. It’s probably no coincidence that this episode highlighted Jamie as the noise in Argevollen that’s kept Tokimune alive all this time. From that, I get the feeling that there will be a similar noise in Perfevollen’s U-Link System that will bring Samonji around—likely from Reika since Perfevollen is the end result of her original experiment. For now, it’s just a matter of finding out how all those moving parts come together in the final three episodes. I have very little doubt that the war will end in some sort of a peace treaty (even if it’s under less than ideal terms for one of the sides), so I’m just curious to see what Suzushiro does to help her beloved captain.

I can see the end finally yet I kinda seem to have seen it on other show…
and i thought it would be unmanned vs unmanned TK but after seeing the look on their faces then its mass production unit vs successor unmanned TK???..
I would have to question 2 things:
1. Is Jamie the real reason that the “noise” exists onboard the Argevollen?
1a. Jamie now have some sort of “newtype” style link back with Argevollen and Tokimune since her interaction with that maintenance program last week. How is this going to add up?
At this point, it’s pretty much implied that Tokimune will have to fight either Richtofen (after Richtofen kills Samonji) or Samonji (Tokimune and Richtofen team up)
at last, final showdown is coming
It’s far more likely Lt. Lontar is going to have the Ingelmia forces (Sturm Beta brigade) fight the Perfevollen, but in such a way that CPT Samonji will be targeted. After all, if you kill the controller, the drones will stop, Lontar thinks. (Notice this did NOT happen immediately with Reika.)
I’ve been hoping that the hints with Argevollen and Tokimune were that Tokimune (or Jamie) could telepathically control Argevollen outside the cockpit – if Tokimune gets wounded, for instance.
As for the Sturm Alpha/Betas, I’m waiting for the “berserker moment” to happen, again, maybe next episode, against Perfevollen.
Meanwhile, the Arandas/Cayenne rebellion against the 4-star generals has been leaked to Lt. Lontar, so it’s a given that BG Cayenne’s strategy of a counteroffensive will fail. That’s politics at Echelons Above Reality, as they say in the military. You do have to wonder at the manufacturing capability not being touched by either side in the war, since all of the battles have been in deep forest and mountainous areas.
i figure the country that takes its fighter off the battlefield to go factory hunting will get over powered by the force that doesn’t, so no one bothers at all
