This might be my favorite arc so far from HO. Another thrilling episode with minimal comedy but rather a lot of close calls in the extreme weather. Ah, the cliffhanger....D:

The waiting game begins.

Watched the episode and i dont fully understand the "evil" plan here, so far this is what i get....

- Miner/worker is sort of antiwar group who try to make "peaceful" contact with havia/qwenty faction?
- wing balancer is sort of their guardian who.... Protect them?
- but in actual, wing balancer is luring baby magnum to miner/worker place to make colateral damage? To make them hate havia/qwenty faction?

Is the whole point of this is just to make havia/qwenty side to look like the bad guys? It cant be only that right? can someone explain it in simple way?

From the 3 points you pointed out pretty much gave you the whole idea already.

Faith organization(FO) miner/worker the minority/antiwar making their peace effort to Legitimate Kingdom(LK).

That of course FO doesn't like it and find idea to intercept somehow. Which lead to luring LK to the mine and make them "misfire" during the battle between the 2 objects. If the FO minority was killed by LK, then the people of FO will hate the LK.

Then sum it up, LK is the bad guy and wing balancer is the guardian. Ideology and politics. Well something like that.

The Legitimacy Kingdom is being used by the Faith Organization into disposing of an anti-war group which works in the diamond mine. Also, another two deaths as Westy and Cookman are killed by the Wing Balancer's jump. Next episode should be interesting given Quenser, Heivia and the others are faced with Nutley in a powered suit.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Haivia's group suffered a major disaster as well and the two teams regroup in the mines.

Note the most of this is still just the speculation of the characters, but what they suspect is that the Legitimacy Kingdom is attacking this zone to get a hold of the diamond mines, but at the same time they're being played by the Faith Organization who wants to use them to take out an Anti-war group that's located in the region via collateral damage.

On a lighter note, they've cleared up beyond a doubt who the mysterious childhood friend was. I must say I do like Charlotte's character more than I remembered, she's the appropriate balance of cynicism/pragmatism to not work simply on good faith, but still sympathetic when it calls for it.

"Besieged Wei to rescue Zhao", I wasn't expecting that reference here.

[grecefar]

Wing balancer is too fast, princess can't do anything.

Welp, knew that idols was quenser childhood friend and the traitor appear, is getting good this arc.

[Heir of the Void]

Quenser: How powerful a unit is is absolute!

ACHIVEMENT UNLOCKED: Next Gen Irony!

[watisit]

Why didn't the traitor finish the job with one to the head?

[Marcus H.]

Movie logic: protagonists cannot be exposed to immediately lethal injury, unless it is required in the story.

[Yan3242]

you forgot the general rule of being villain not just in anime but in every movie out there....

"when you capture the MC, you must explain stuff to him or let out your inner self speech to bid time for the MC to escape and kick your ass"

[ReddyRedWolf]

Goodness being around Qwenty and Havia is not healthy. It's like a Starfleet Away Team with Red Shirts or Gold Shirts depending on the era.

[Faux Mecha]

R.I.P. Charles (i thought he was going to go full hero after getting stabbed), Cookman, & Westie, they all are still in the OP though, unless miracles happen (that doesn't happen to the enemy, screw the enemy),

what the hell is Qwenthur's skull made of? his head should have been cracked open like a nut right now.

[Marcus H.]

You could say he's a hardhead. :3

I'm so sorry.

[Benigmatica]

Another cliffhanger, huh?

On the other hand, I wonder if Nutsley is part of the anti-war faction? Then again, I don't see him making peace with the Legitimate Kingdom after backstabbing them!

[eisai_haramasukoi]

So the New Kingdom of France Legitimate Kingdom got lured by some cunning organization? The power of natural resources.

I just find it weird that Qwenthur's head wasn't crushed by the automaton.

[Chaos2Frozen]

I don't think he was using the full strength of the power suit

[~Yami~]

"Where the hell is that Qwenthur?" Harem +1 luckily it's Frolaytia that heard that.. if it is Milinda, she would try to find out about Monica

I really think Cookman and Westie are not out yet.. They probably appear to help to kick that powered suit soon
Well, this arc is more tense than usual basically because they are totally played by Faith Organization. It would be pretty ironic if Qwenthur and Havia are died because Baby Magnum destroyed the mine
I think this arc would end up as a close one.. at least I'm glad that Qwenthur and Havia could team up again
