| Potentially the best episode of this show |
This episode gave me the chills! Kikuchi character development is pleasing to look at. Seems like Mirai has lost it jamming system which might prove to be a fatal blow in the near future. Partly it's Kikuchi's fault that he wished to play scare tactics on the American force but his actions could save lives as well. Yet it backfired on Mirai as americans are not backing down at all. Next in store is the Tomahawk missile! And fuck you Taki for keeping Kadomatsu and Yanagi as hostages. |

Apollo18 said: Very different tone to the kill-less rest of the series, though. Still no blood or anything, but I almost expected them to have little animated parachute-guys bailing out of the shot fighters, to maintain the no-killing thing. There's already been deaths in combat in earlier episodes though. 8 U.S. Marines were killed in close combat at nighttime in the jungles of Guadalcanal at the base of that muddy mountain and then it rained a torrent of blood in the beginning of the next episode to symbolize Yosuke being haunted by the carnage. Plus, their creed from early on has been to minimize casualties inflicted on any party but even as a defensively operating force, at the end of the day the Mirai and the JSDF in general in the world of the show or the actual world is still an armed military force, and they've stated a willingness to employ lethal force, proportionately if possible, against any other Japanese in the Imperial Japanese Navy, Army, or Air Force or anyone in the U.S. military who attempts to attack the Mirai and endanger its crew. It's a doctrine based on proportionate self-defense, minimizing the risk or likelihood of armed conflict, and minimizing the scale or cost of it if unavoidable. |

| The sick scheme is now showing its fruits of dirty labour, the American squadron is facing the overwhelmingly technologically superior warship and it kicks fucking ass. The cannon is finally being put to use, the sniper-accurate shots are the angel of death for the low flying torpedo bombers and the Aegis missile systems can more than easily handle all of the aircraft flying far and above Mirai. However, the naivety of a man who has never tasted the bitter cruelty of war prevented Mirai from going all out on ALL of the planes. And with an ace pilot, one of the planes eventually reach Mirai herself, causing not only structural damage but also casualties. To Masayuki's defence, he held back in order to maintain the inexhaustible supply of missiles in Mirai, he's looking at this in a long-term view which is good, but doing so placed Mirai in a dangerous situation which is exactly what happened. A deadly compromise. Now for the finale... A tomahawk missile, the big boy is about to be launched towards an entire aircraft carrier. They should save a couple to be rammed up Taki's scheming ass. I find it ironic that the same effective US missiles that Mirai is using are used on US pilots. |

| The goofy saxophone music that shows up so often seems a very unfitting accompaniment to what was just a one-sided massacre. I wonder if the Mirai's speed, which for the 1940s is extremely high, could have been used to dodge torpedoes and foul divebombers’ attack alignments but I can’t say how risky it would be. |
| doubt has created chaos, a pity that people/soldiers who should not die continue to die!!! kekeke |
