THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

Does Hirano Aya always sound the same?
Miu is so cute and that makes Kouichi speechless. However, while being so cute and kind to Kouichi, she was actually stressed out and depressed over her lack of power; failed to be a factor.
Again Katou's subordinates who already defeated Jack Smith..
Miu without DSOIL was in trouble. Then, just about Miu was defeated; Kouichi went and saved the United Nations' troop from KATO-KIKAN attacks yet to end up getting nearly killed by the U.N.; the U.N. easily give up their justice and ideals just to protect their own lives, a bunch of cowards unworthy of protection yet Kouichi still protected them and ended up getting fired upon by the U.N. since they had the advantage.
Just before Kouichi was to be annihilated, Miu activated her DSOIL and did a kamikaze attack on one of those KATO-KIKAN members but unfortunately... Her kamikaze attack was ineffective, instead she was killed in one stab of a lance. ( ; _ ; )
Luckily, Kouichi managed to activated Dark Linebarrels mode, saving Miu at her near death and killed the KATO-KIKAN member in one slash. It seems that Kouichi no longer needs Kizaki Emi's help to activate the Dark mode which is both capable of reviving and healing comrades, as well as getting a sudden boost of both power and agility.
This episode was pretty depressing...
Luckily, she survived. For a moment, I thought Hirano Aya was going to leave early.
