What a tragic episode... Well, rest in peace Brad, no one could've thought that the enemy would use such a method. So, Vash lives "outside of time," huh?

LEGATO IS WINNING. VASH CAN'T CATCH A BREAK. But I kinda like this route anime goes sometimes. Awesome episode, tho I expected the fall of the ship to be more destructive (Like when Vash created a hole in the 5th moon.)

Vash really is like a Typhoon, wherever he goes, a disaster is bound to happen.

I dunno why people are sad again? They don't give a shit if their people die, so why should we? Also, how did Wolfwood find the puppeteer again? Vash is shown to have vastly superior reaction speed compared to regular humans but he can't react to the puppet, but Brad did? Vash has lived for over 100 years but he doesn't know that he should atleast make sure that the opponent is properly incapacitated? Another BS episode.

I felt really bad for Vash since this was one of his worst defeats yet. It looked like things would actually end well until everything went wrong in what was pretty much an instant. The losses were tremendous but at least Wolfwood was able to kill that accursed puppeteer from behind the scenes in Vash's behalf.

I'm hoping things would go well for the guy for once...

man, just when the episode were so good, cam that twist at the end and made it better.

i just remembered in the episode that vash could "talk" to machines and then that happens. too bad though he didn't made it...

and though they made the series to more battle series, i actually don't mind this much.

Bad episode, I didn't care for Brad, he was badly written character anyway, those villians aren't interesting either, one is a non-talking machine, the other one is just says cheesy lines about how strong his armour is or condemned Vash's past (which already happened in episode 5). The puppeteer had interesting ability that may lead to such plottwists, but also fails as a character. I the writer dig a hole for themselves interducing that many villian character at once.

For those saying the first half of episodes were cheesy because they had so much comedy, you are forgetting something called "theme exploration", each episode had a certain theme related to the apocalyptic setting, or Vash's ethics, themes such as political corruption, revenge, pacifism, poverty, running from own's past, and many other themes.

Having a linear ongoing plot is not necessarily a good thing, when now we lack well written sub-characters and minor villians, theme exploration was also lost when it could still be blended with each episode.

Previously, opinions and different life perspectives in context with the abovementioned explored themes were important for character development, now both Meryl and Milly are completely useless characters, because only raw power and fighting abilities is what's currently important.

These gung-ho-guns sure don't mess around and calling out Vash as not human, to boot.

Three cheers for accidental ship acid, Wolfwood!

Ah, there was a Jessica puppet, that's why in the last episode she gave zero craps about being held hostage and piles of dead bodies and just hugged Vash.

That ending was brutal. So sad.

I never cared all that much for Brad, so, oh well? But also; I always sort of felt like this was one of the less interesting episodes. I definitely didn't care about any of these other Gung-Ho Guns when compared to the previous ones. Though, they were all way more fleshed out in the manga anyway. Iirc just about each one got their own volume. So throwing 3 into essentially 30 minutes was going to be rushed no matter how you look at it.

Vash doesn't like a single death but many people died because he went there. I still didn't understand why he went there in the 1st place.

God that was such a depressing episode. Brad literally died in front of Vash just as he was defending the latter from the ungrateful lot of people on the ship when it crashed down to the surface of the planet. Wolfwood managed to kill the Puppet Master but at what cost?

With each episode towards the finale, the atmosphere gets tenser and tenser. And it’s just an indication that Vash himself is a tragic character. An action packed episode and a fantastic one at that.

Vash's appeal is slowly wearing off, he's getting cheesy.

And did they want us to feel super sad for brad? We've only seen him for 2 episodes and know nothing about him.

This is the episode I have actually didn’t like. The combination this much stupid scene was to much for me.

Them screaming stop to the villains who are not even humans ( Im not sure about that spinning ball but whatever) is just….why? Not controlling if the spinning ball was death is stupid as fuck I just cannot understand that level of stupidity there was no proof he is death.

And like I understand they were tired and didn’t think very logically but no one questioned were are the third doll? İts
Vash was a lot of less powerful than he is normally he was just useless this ep we know that he can be more powerful this

And lastly the whole ship just feels like a very scary cult expect the old man and the boy who died. There were at least 50 people died that just we did see and no one has any emotion their only problem is that they need to live on the planet now. There are people who died HELLO? ANY EMOTIONS PLEASE? They just a ver scary cult so I don't even feel bad for them you can all cry as much as you want you did nothing to try to even safe the place you love this much

I actually do believe that Milly and Meryl was needed in this episode they really can make this situation more interesting and bring some feeling in it
