I’m so far behind that this show has already ended. I blame school Fanta. In order to catch up, I’ve decided to split the last 8 episodes into 2 posts.
Episode 6
I thought I would get so see some aerial battles but all I got was Mitty and Chiharu raising death flags. They need to stop it.
Episode 7
The enemy is not as stupid or primitive as the Isla forces thought them to be. Hell, they’re far more advanced. Isla is in for a rough time.
Looks like someone paid attention in tactics class
By the way, they did not just fire 1 flare then go out of there, they kept firing until the Isla torpedo planes engaged the enemy escort bombers.
Mitty makes the ultimate sacrifice.
I guess it’s not her time. Flight instructors to the rescue!
Episode 8
Continuation from last episode now with ground combat too. Mitty was right about Isla’s forces and the Sky Clan operating with entirely different combat doctrines.
Wait a minute… Fausto is leading this OP? Are they seriously going to sit there and wait for the enemy planes to get within their range?
*Facepalms hard* Who the hell taught you guys aerial tactics?!
Yes seriously. Now go get your Call of Duty face on.
*Facedesk* Dammit Fausto!
Well… so much for that defense operation.
Those tactics are definitely not suited against single-seat fighter planes. Pretty much the trainee squadron from the Fausto’s side no longer exist. From Kal-el’s squad, the only named character who died is Wolfgang if you don’t count Mitty from the previous episode. Marco, Wolfgang’s pilot, did not die because he shows up in the next episode. I suppose the no-names from Kal-el’s squad probably participated in the ground defense as well.

Mysterious pilot has arrived to give support to Isla’s defenses! Will we find out who the pilot is in this episode?
Kinda… Guess we’ll have to wait a while before we meet this Fana Levamme.
Episode 9
It’s time to pick up the pieces and move on.
Well that love confession sure went well…
The cat’s out of the bag. Claire and Kal-el find out what we viewers have known for quite some time now.
Well if it increases her chances for survival, I’m ok with it.

Yeah I went stitch crazy on episodes 7 and 8 but I felt these episodes needed some justice rather than me just going “Oh look Mitty cashed in both his and Chiharu’s death flags and the nobles squad got wiped out of existence”. I’ll try to tone it down on the next post and have it more in line with the episode 3-5 post.
