I do really have wished to give this episode a flawless score, because it delivered with everything in drama, recollection, angst, revelations, the truth, and tragedy.
I mean an hour ago I watched the twenty-third episode to Fate Zero and left me almost at the brink of tears to the loss endured, and now with this episode of Aquarion EVOL dealing two tragic losses made me to sob for real.
I never hated Izumo at all and have considered him one of the strongest antagonists/supporting characters; his piloting skills to move the Ignis and summoning the Altair cannon, that actually was able to cancel the Legendary Aquarion's union as a last act against Mikage, proved that he was a serious powerhouse of a pilot.
Now for me Mikage has hit a full bottom love, and it doesn't matter that all for what he did was due to heartbreak borned from deceit.
I feel angry, but at the same time craving intensely to see what happens in the next episode.
