It seems to me like several of the kiltgang are somewhat conflicted about what they are doing, or have found they like life on earth. Siren in particular in the dream sequence seemed to be actually helping him to break free.
Please don't feed the trolls!

A theory was mentioned a few episodes ago that Livlasters are in fact an extradimensional lifeforms that takes the shape of a gun, and who may or may not have a will of their own. Puck believed if they did then perhaps they were his real enemies. So the girl with the recorder is almost certainly the physical embodiment of Daichi's Livlaster and one of the extradimensional lifeforms helping the Midsummer knights fight the Planetary Gears.

Not all of them, only some. Amara in particular has shown NO restraints about his intentions to make Earth a wasteland. The closest to having doubts are Moco who took a liking to her body and Earth, to an extent Baku although he now has nothing left, and Siren who acts more as voice of reason character. The rest are fullbent on going with the plan.

Ya know... Other than the mindfuck factor... I really don't understand what the point of that episode was... It felt like filler...

I mean I guess the point was that he had to find inner determination to power up his livlaster but... They spent an entire episode on it?

Especially since he didn't even say anything new.. he already pretty much affirmed his determination before the mission began when he talked to SaltyDog guy and assured Hana that he would do it.

Idunno.. Think this is filler... I felt like I just wasted my time. I bet I could skip this episode and would have missed absolutely nothing.


Neat summary, that's what I thought as well. That was way too much for a character who is very underdeveloped in the first place. I really hope Bones don't screw up the ending at least. I'm glad that it's ending soon. Going to be very wary when watching original anime from Bones from now on.

I noticed the difference. I guess it's nice to have some variety, but nothing to really write home about.

So the Captain finally woke from that dream. I am so happy the dream episode only took one episode.

Great episode!!!

Yeah I fail to see any point in that, even if I like how they handled some points such as replacing his friends with the Planetary Gears. It made it feel like they'd planned this turn of events from the beginning, though I doubt that they did.

Only thing I can say is maybe the little Livlaster girl allowed him to see this 'dream' to affirm that it was solely his will powering the Livlaster, and not just her pulling the strings. I think that may be why they had that train scene portray the Planetary Gears against her with Daichi in the middle. Their purpose was to sway him into giving up the possibilities of the world where he's being used and accept the possibilities of a normal life, proving that the extradimensional lifeforms were in fact using him. At the same time, Livlaster girl was trying to affirm his will in order to prove she isn't simply using him, even though she knows leading a normal life like that is probably best for him.

I can sort of understand what they were going for, but I still don't think it was necessary.

I kind of like the episode after I have thought it over.
It's like who is Daichi? If I had been written the story then thatwould be the question :D If I'm right in this then this episode fits right in. I would hate if I'm wrong.... then it would just be sad story :S

A generally weak episode. It looks like they were trying for something but focused too much on the wrong areas to get it across properly. As a result, it feels more like filler than anything else.

But . . . Ai acting all shy and cute saved it. Such a wonderful contrast, especially with the quick cut to her regular persona.

Well, if Ai is a human, she could fall in love to Daichi. That will be cute.

But sorry because I felt some Evangelion references in this episode. The fact that it was all a dream happened in NGE too :/ Last two episode, yeeeees.
The world shall know the truth soon.

I find it funny how in the video game Daichi is conrolling the Captain earth mech but Ai is using Amarok's.

i think i understand, they knew the series can end in 2 episodes but they have to fulfill 3 episodes

so the solution is a dream episode^^

I did not see a story so interesting for a long time, this episode has managed to like it at all, mysterious and investigator of Daichi, has been able to make his character mature and suitable for the purpose for which it was invested.
Drawings and animations beautiful as usual.
Everything went smoothly, perhaps the series finale will be interesting now.
Also good soundtrack.

Pretty wild episode.
Too bad we didn't get to see what Akari done that same day... it also shows that the "enemies" are stuck in the past and are still unwilling to go on and forge their own paths.
