Guilty Crown might not always make that much sense, but I have to admit that the kid in me simply loved this episode.
Segai did a great theatrical villain here. Even The Joker would have been proud of Segai's performance here!
And as for Shu's big moment, contrived though it might be, it truly rocked. After watching Segai be a brutal, cocky, merciless, and theatrical villain the entire episode, to have Shu show up to put Segai down once and for all (I think) was pretty rewarding.
I really liked how everything came together in this episode. Lots of great reveals, lots of excellent moments of drama and suspense, lots of great action movie-style magic.
Guilty Crown has its flaws, but man, does it have a sense for dramatic timing and style!
9/10 for Episode 19.
