So as should be obvious from how the last episode ended, shit went the fuck down. And then ended with some oh my god what the ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh




And of course there was obligatory something with Dio that breaks your heart. Seriously you guys my heart stop that Last Exile my OTP.





We open up with a flashback.






Basically blah blah if you kill me more shit will happen, chains of revenge happen that humans are too fail to stop, if you think you can save and rule this world...






Everyone stands in silence as the bells ring for things being RUINED FOREVER. Poor Sara is devastated.




Millia has an inner monologue about the burden Liliana had to carry with those visions as a key and such. Sadness. :( POOR MILLIA ugh her life.




Fam finally has reality hit her.




Magnolia tells Dian she did the right thing, and even though she aimed for Luscinia the "witch" was their enemy too, but Dian is obviously regretting her actions and wondering why, if she was a hero, is she not feeling happiness.




OH SHIT GISEY.






Basically he knew the peace was flimsy and was going to break. Fam asks him why he started a war if he wanted peace.




And then after that scene ... this happens..... and they split up to get shit done.






VINCENT IS BEING A SLOW ASS.




Luscinia's forces (Sadri and Kayvan) start to move, but Vasant is still playing it safe.



She tries once again to tell Sara hey don't worry but Sara IS NOT HAVING THAT.






Just as Vasant agrees, UH OH.



Then Luscinia Wesker-dodges fucking bullets and...








Dian and Magnolia hear the ruckus outside.




Alauda goes after the Silvius once again and FUCK YES TATIANA AND ALIS READY TO KICK SOME ASS.




Dio and Al prepare to go again because U IN DANGER GIRL when SUDDENLY.














Then oh no Dio LOSES HIS FOOTING BECAUSE HIS VANSHIP'S THING IS ON THE FLOOR SINCE HE'S FILLING IT UP WITH CLAUDIA



And then THE HOSE COMES LOOSE?!












BYE ALAUDA.




Dio goes back to Al and thanks her for saving him because he thinks she's the one who yanked the hose loose.








Then Dio looks at the side of the Vanship and yes that JP text says "Lucciola's seat"





my face when guardian angel Lucciola. for real




Luscinia HAS THE LOLI.






Vasant... :(




Then Fam gets SAD, gives back the ring Millia's father gave her.






Then there is a hopeful OT3 moment.






Luscinia brings Sara to what he found in Glacies...






And speaks some Mysterion.



Oh hi dragonfly WMD.





If fires toward the battle from where it is








Orang's whole fleet and Kayvan's whole fleet (INCLUDING KAYVAN) are all obliterated.






Luscinia is done giving fucks.




PREVIEW. Millia COMMANDING THE SILVIUS? WHY?



this is why HNNNNNNNNNNNGH YES




Oh gosh.


WELP this episode was. Insane. And they're finally starting to kill more people off. OH LAWD WHERE DO I BEGIN THIS WEEK.

Okay with the deaths I guess. Vasant's was pretty shocking IMO, especially with how much they emphasized her being THE LAST CHAOSIAN after all of her allies were sent in to Glacies as meatshields. I didn't think they'd kill her off to make it NO MORE CHAOS LOL and was actually expecting her to live in the end. Not only because of the Chaosian thing, but because despite her actions not always being smart, she meant well by them and was not an inherently bad person. But I guess her death drives the point home that this shit is tragic and they are really doing the whole wipe out tons of people thing. I feel bad for her. :(

Kayvan dying didn't have too much emotional impact, and is just really there to show that Luscinia doesn't give a shit about sacrificing his own forces for his goal. Orang barely made it and it clearly MESSED HIM THE HELL UP because his ship was the only one out of those two fleets that made it. First he had to kill Sorush, make difficult decisions and try his best to keep up this awkward peace, then gets his entire freaking force wiped out in one blow. I feel so bad for him and his reaction at the end was so 8( Alauda's death was somewhat sad in that way that in the flashbacks he seemed like more of the emotionally stable one, but since then he'd become as focused on their goal as Luscinia, so had gone beyond doing shitty things for that cause. Also, going after the Silvius again man. After the first time it makes complete sense for Dio to be the one to take him out, especially since he was going after Al at that point as well.

Oh speaking of Dio. Ooooh my God this episode did things to me. SO MANY THINGS. Well first off he is the most major badass in the world because that fight, that fight. YOU ARE SO FAST AND GRACEFUL AND STRONG AND THAT SMIRK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BATTLE HNNGH I CAN'T. You guys I love this character so much it hurts I'm so happy this series exists because it gave me all of this stuff with him. And he is perfect. I cannot even words these feelings.

And as if the scene wasn't, you know, totally fucking awesome as was, they also had to PUNCH YOUR EMOTIONS IN THE TEETH WITH THE LUCCIOLA STUFF. I just, oh god, the hose coming loose to end up saving Dio when he had that trip-up and he thought it was Al and when she was like WASN'T ME he just. Looks to the words at the side of his vanship and he knows and oh gosh Lucciola is truly is his guardian angel even beyond death it's so sad but so perfect and bojklghysdgkls these two kill me with every emotion. I love them so much and in Fam I love the way they are just. Doing what they are doing with them. ALL OF MY DREAMS.

Dian realized that she done goofed, and that revenge doesn't feel as good as it seems. Even though she disliked Liliana just as much, she was aiming for Luscinia in particular, and now everything's going right back to hell because of her. She feels guilty on top of the fact that she didn't get anything back after that form of 'revenge'. I feel bad for her. :( Because she was so anguished and let that take over her to the point where she thought her actions would help ease that anguish, but it ended up just making things, as well as her, worse. I really want to see what they do with her at the end of the series.

Fam, too. This episode was basically a giant whack in Fam's face about the reality of the situation and her endless optimism about the Grand Race, as well as her beliefs that it could come so easily. I'm glad she finally faced it to the point where she acknowledges her disregard of a lot of things, even though it was always her hope that gave Millia strength, so it ends up being a fairly balanced scene. In that Fam should keep being Fam because she is really good at giving hope to people who need it in such a bad time, but she seems to realize now that being a little more realistic about those beliefs doesn't make them any less important to those around her.

NOW THE END. Nothing really new about Sara, in that I loved her strength in this episode when she told Vasant she wanted to know things when she tried to shield her away from it again. She's not backing down from that determination to truly be Augusta and I still love her lots. Of course, she couldn't do much to Luscinia since he is STRONG, and before she could really get a word in re: WHERE IS VASANT, WHERE ARE WE, WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME MAESTRO he had spoken the Mysterion to her. I wonder what she's going to do when she snaps out of it and realizes what happened, especially since Luscinia seems to be beyond listening levels of not giving fucks. With all that he promised her a young child, though, I am sure that this is going to end sadly and with tears. ):

The Grand Exile itself was WOAH HOLY SHIT but at the same time nothing out of left field? Comparing it to space-traveling ships that can also double as weapons, at any rate. With the insect theme the Guild has I sort of love that it is shaped like a huge dragonfly of mass destruction (and we now see what Augusta's flag represents! Much like the hourglass shape thing in the first series). What the Grand Exile is FOR beyond "oh my god blowing everything the fuck up" we have yet to see, but oh man am I excited and nervous at what is going to happen.

THE PREVIEW hnngh Millia commanding the Silvius is amazing after all of the her and Tatiana stuff that happened earlier on. And even better is that because she's in charge Tatiana and Alis are going out to fight in the next episode. '-' NEXT WEEK IS GOING TO BE SEXY AND SCARY AND OH GOD YOU GUYS TWO EPISODES LEFT SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM.
