The pace was at neck breaking speeds but they didn't skip anything, I think. There's still some "QUALITY" stuff but not as bad as episode 10.
RIP Dark Bushnell. Even in death, you served well.

Since I watch these two episodes back-to-back I'll comment my thoughts more over there.
That said, I'm pretty disappointed for Uruz team's tag battle without throw-and-exchange guns, it made them so casual when handling the Codarls. That aside this episode is still a good one.

Have to admit I burst out laughing when at the "Contact Mr. Clouseau" line.
Merde! That's the last person to contact about anything!

Maybe given context it was meant as a play on 'Cousteau'?

I chose to rate this episode higher than intended due to two events that transpired:
1. Leonard Testarossa has been scheming his own agenda playing behind Amalgam all along, and now the time came for him to part ways towards new goals.

How about pulling classic betrayal to raise the tension and suspense. Leonard is after something bigger and won't either Amalgam or Mithril's remnants to get in his way.

2. Kalinnin and Sousuke facing each other at opposite ends of the battlefield now as enemies.
Honestly, I'm sure for certain that many fans out there wished for this to happend and delivered. I'm as thrilled to witness Sousuke battling his way to overpower Kalinin in a fierce struggle, but his former mentor won't be a pushover.
