Of coarse it was a trap ... several characters even said it was a trap and Gauron said that Souske would regret not killing him (aka major foreshadowing).

The Lt. Commander must have known it was a trap yet they didn't just shoot him as soon as he left his mecha. I guess the series would be left adrift without a villain if Gauron got killed off. ^^

I wasnt paying very good attention in the last episode, so the trap caught me off guard, lol. Man, the episodes name was even Deep Trap, and I still didnt see it coming. I must have been half asleep or something. Anyway, an interesting episode. Sousuke better kill Garuon for good by the end of the series, he's starting to really annoy me.

There was such heavy foreshadowing in the last episode and this episode's title alone that the trap was incredibly obvious... but other than that it was a nice episode. Also, there was plenty of BETRAYAL!!!

It is finally getting more interesting. It seems a major battle will take place later.

Yeah obviously a trap no matter how you look at it. Of course knowing he's up to something didn't give them enough of an excuse to just kill him after he 'gave up'. Though really should have just shot him anyways after all that happened.

But yeah Kurz kicked Sousuke's ass there. Just walked in there and hit him. He may have flown off the handle but Sousuke probably wouldn't get the message otherwise.

Was there any reason whatsoever for leaving Gauron alive? Also I'm glad Sousuke finally showed some form of emotion (even if it was complaining that too much is expected of him).

Wow, thought this episode was pretty intense to be honest! When Sousuke for the first time really showed off some feelings and their argument was about to escalate, it really hunt me down. Loved how Kurz came in afterwards and smashed Sousuke down xD

so predictable and frustrating to watch.
gauron should have died ages ago, but didn't because everyone in this anime is apparently too dumb.

Developing? If having arguments and hating each other is what you call "developing" then sure.

Well that went mostly as expected, fuckin' traitors. Of course Sousuke had to be an ass to Kaname just before shit went down. I guess Arbalest's failing was his fault afterall, well here's a chance at redemption!

A few traitors and a plan to close of the others from the Captain.
Luckily Sousuke and Kurz read the situation.

Another case of interesting and tense situation that for some reason can only occur by making the entire crew braindead. Top of the line submarine and the security is like a shogi door =_=

One of the most wanted men in a room with zero cameras and fuck all security for the bridge. Yes, traitors would be unexpected, but surely in Mithril's line of work and what we were previously led to believe was a hand-picked crew should mean the soldiers should be able to adapt to deal with sudden rogue agents.

And Kaname really needs to work on her fight/flight response. You'd have expected a girl as athletic as her would have decided to run a lot quicker than she did.

Anyway, Sousuke and Kurz to the rescue!...and possibly our injured tough girl having to get out of the hospital bed a bit early :P

Wow, Sousuke can get mad to such an extent. I thought he'll always be stoic.

Damn, so many traitors from SRT. That department or group should be purged after this incident.

I highly doubt those Mythril soldiers could ever get paid off like this and join Gauron. But then again FMP doesn't take itself too seriously so I won't either haha

So they decode to capture gauron, a high risk target and put him in the same vicinity as konami. Same guy they failed to assassinate a few episodes ago. Should have been killed as soon as he exited his AS with the lame excuse that he of all people ran out of juice. So stupid.

How do they have not one, not two, but three traitors in Mithril?? Arent they supposed to be some super secret organization?!

I thought this would have been explained by now but I still dont quite understand if they are a private organization or related to japans military. The squad from before seemed to have been mercenaries as well, so no affiliation there either.

Also what even is Tessas job? Beeing a whispered would make her maybe head of engineering, not captain of the entire submarine.
