I really enjoy how evenly matched Sumeragi and Kati are. One battle one blasts past the other and is five steps ahead, while the next the roles are switched. Kati totally kicked Sumeragi's ass this time, and the only thing that will save CB is Setsuna with the sudden appearance of his Uber God Mode Gundam.

Technological "Gotcha!" moments are the only thing that determine which of the two will be victorious, and it is always by close calls. Last time Kati almost spoiled Sumeragi's victory as the Ptolemy launched back into space, and here Sumeragi spoils Kati's victory. Sumeragi usually ends out a little bit ahead, she seems to be the better of the tw, but only by the smallest of margins. Kati doesn't have to deal with occasional bouts of depression though. Still, CB is only still alive because of Sumeragi and the temporary lead in terms of tech.

I'm a little ambivalent towards the way Saji and Louise found out about each other. I was kind of hoping for an actual face to face meeting on the battlefield (a terrestrial gunfight preferably), not this Newage bullshit.

I wonder if Anew is a willing spy, or was brainwashed into thinking she wasn't an Innovator. I have to assume she is a very good spy, and will betray CB again more openly. From what this episode showed, it also seems that if someone ferrets her out, it will be Marie. I guess she's more sensitive to the brainwaves than both Allelujah and Tieria.


(Still hoping Tieria turns into a girl again, and not just dressup/makeup. By the way, how did his hair get long and then short again while in the shower?)
