I'm going with alien body snatchers. They're planning on taking over the world and stealing all the potatoes.

I'm guessing that this whole ritual thing brainwashes them into obeying them and such?

It reminds me of the book series called Uglies, where they make teenagers beautiful but make them useless and obidient.
Overall I thought this was a good episode.. the series is getting really interesting.

Lots of plot progression. Hope Dio will come back to being "awesome." :(

Shikarla and Alex fighting was short yet delivers badassery.

Also, I find Maestro Delphine to be a sight to behold despite being the antagonist. =,=

Can anyone tell me what was the point of shoting that misile to the exile??


I hope you can see those tentacles squirming around Exile.

I like the Lavie x Claus moment.

Dio sister is hot and a sadist!

I'm sure Dio will surpass what has been done. Dio is the one who can really get away with helping Non guild people from Silvana without suspect if Dio plays along.

This is the everything looks bleak episode before everyone comes together to concur the evil Guild, I'm sure.
Such junk...

Oh boy! I didn't expect her to infiltrate that fast and capture Dio already! Well things sure don't look good for Dio and the rest, let's see what's next!

I can't believe Lucciola did not do anything to stop Dio's sister. What a betrayal.

ALEX FREAKING ROW is back, baby!!!

Don't like what happened to Dio but still a really good episode, probably the best I've seen so far from this series.

Great episode. The capture of the Exile went as well as I expected and I can't imagine Alex expected any different, though he does tend to lose sight of things were Delphine is concerned.

Dio's sister is one of them haughty, psycho villainesses that you loathe but feel immensely attracted to at the same time. Kinda reminds me of Haman Karn in that regard.

There goes cute Dio... he's now brainwashed, because reasons.

"I'll protect you Lavie!" I thought there was no way for Claus to become more of a cliché. I was wrong.

Or maybe he was trying to give some words of comfort to Lavie? He's been with her since they were kids, he knows she would worry. Most cliche things people complain about are things that happen naturally when human emotions come into play.

Claus and Dio return to an empty Silvana that has, in fact, been taken over by Delphine. Delphine takes Dio, Alvis, Claus and Alex to the main Guild ship.

Dio, what have they done to you. Don't tell me you've gone to the dark side.

Heartbreaking to see Lavie's reaction to Claus leaving, not knowing if he'll even return.

Alex is quite the bloodthirsty, prolific killer, going on a killing spree this episode. Revenge sure does wonders...

As I suspected, the level of "brainwashiness" on Guild people seems to be indicated by the sign on their foreheads.

I really hope Dio can recover from whatever happened to him. I don't see many ways Claus can get out of this.

And I seriously hope Delphine falls into The Grand Stream by the end of this.

Also anyone notice how the after credits was more grim this time? I think it's always had the same music playing, but they went with something a bit more serious this time around. It's small but I think it's a nice touch.

Terrifying ending for Dio, though given how cliche this series has been I fully expect his conditioning will be inexplicably broken and Dio will be saved.

The alliance fleet have been staging for days, and we saw earlier that the guild were able to observe a Disith ship dropping off water in the middle of nowhere. Surely the guild can see that their enemies have been massing a fleet? Why are they doing nothing? Are they going to just allow the alliance fleet to roll up and attack them? Doesn't make any sense.

Those Guild cvnts can bleed after all!

And Claus and Dio make a pretty awesome team, both on land and flying around. Awesome team indeed!

Why didn't they show them eating anything? Just changing the plates. That was a painful sight due to how good the food was. I hate how they keep making Claus and Lavie prototypes of robin hood every other episode.
I mean, considering the Guild lives in the middle of the clouds, and half the world is ice and the other half is a desert... I don't think there's much of a point in thinking everyone can eat like that, lol. Pointless behaviour from Claus.
