Man I'm relieved and happy Gotho, Vanilla and Coconna are all alive and well, these people don't seem to die easy as well. XD Captain Kan Yu's paying his mistake of being an asshole!

At this episode, I'm more interested on the political background behind it all. What's the deal with the civil war on Kummen and why are they in a state of open war against the federal government Battentain mentioned, and if it is the government of Gilgamesh he is referring to. Since Gilgamesh seem to be a interstellar political entity. is Chirico still in Melkia (which I assume was a planet and part of Gilgamesh), i.e. is the Kingdom of Kummen in Melkia? I'm a little bit confused at this point. Maybe I should watch some more. XD

That river really looked like the Amazon river, so it might be somewhere in south-america, or on another planet that's really alike.

Alright start for the second arc. If the first arc felt like Mad Max, this one feels like Vietnam flicks. Hope that leads to more great action and more development for Chirico.

They all survived, LOL.

This arc is promising. I like the setting.

Chirico's friends all survived, and seem to be doing okay financially.

The tracking beacon has been surgically removed from Chirico, and he's working as a mercenary. One of the ATs he's fought appear to be too good for a normal human.

Could it be Fyana? If so, they must've done something to her, because it appears that she doesn't recognize him.

The directors of this episode must have been high on Apocalypse Now, because that opening scene was straight out of it lol.

Hate to be all debby downer, but there's no way those mechs would be able to ambush anyone, they'd show up on a radar. Maybe there's some kind of cloaking device, but I ain't buying that.

Hope Kokona and Vanilla don't get killed by the viet cong
