Was a great episode. Right up to the point where they declared it'll be Trans-Am vs. RG System...thank you series for killing any anticipation for this rematch against Yuuki Tatsuya. This was probably the last great battle we're getting in the series.
A good episode as a whole. Was certainly an interesting showdown with using that trans-am against the F91. Certainly a way to paint his unit red without actually needing to do so
.
Pure hilarity with Sei's mom and China showing up and Aila coming out in that towel. And rather instead of hilarity it was pure awesome
. Gotta love Aila, when it comes to food the situation around her really doesn't matter.
Of course no surprise that Sei's Mother quickly agreed upon hearing Aila's backstory. No way she could send that girl out to the streets with nowhere to go. I'm sure it wasn't fun going through her history, but it worked out situation wise for Aila. Plus now Sei's mother has someone else to tease so it's all good
.
While Reiji didn't seem to think he could take Aila with him, it doesn't necessarily mean it's impossible. If they have the tech that allowed Reiji to come there should be something that allows someone not natively from there to go back. Assuming of course that Aila's ability isn't related to her being from Arian. Though if she was that would probably make it easier to create a way to take her back.
One interesting thing is the kind of connection between the last two fights. Yuuki won beucase he had those sunglasses that took the glare out of the F91's attack which allowed him to dodge. A funny connection since the reason Aila lost was getting blinded in a similar fashion by the RG System.
Looks like we'll have a more relaxing pre-finals episode coming up. Though with the Sei vs Reiji bit....is Reiji going to fight blindfolded with one arm tied behind his back? Honestly seems the only way Sei wouldn't get instant curb-stomped.
