Alright, we seem to have finally moved on to the Archimedes and put this pregame behind us for the most part. It was exciting to see Rak show up again at the end. The best part of it was that it was tiny Rak! We saw this version of Rak last season, but it was because he was shrunk against his will. I didn’t realize it was something he could turn on and off.
Not sure what Endorsi is planning to do next now that she realizes who Viole is. Especially since she seems to have been left behind and didn’t make it to the Archimedes in time. Also, the traveler has been left behind. They are both big fans of Emily, so maybe they will get up to some wacky hijinks on their own.
Finally, the last thing I wanted to point out is that we actually had a couple impact frames this episode. When Bam activated his power, somebody decided to animate his knockout punch. It was brief, but things moved on screen, so I’ll take it. @rikka@ani.social
It was nice to see a confident Shibisu that people seemed to respect as a team leader. I remember in season 1 with Hatz and Anaak basically ignored him all the time.
So, am I right in assuming that the Traveler and Endorsi were left off the ship? It seemed like the counter had reached zero before we cut back to them, but I wouldn’t put it past this show to have arranged things non-chronologically.
