After the previous episode's cliffhanger, I wasn't entirely sure where the rest of the series would go. Is Shu going to die? Is Inori going to go back to Gai although he's obviously been brought back from the grave and isn't who (or what) he was before he died? Why did Haruka let this happen? What is Arisa doing cooperating with GHQ in the first place? With so many questions, I was really eager to see how this episode would turn out. It picks up where we left off last time; Shu has had his arm cut off and Gai now has the power of the King's Mark. Inori cries out for Shu and tries to rejoin him, but is unable to because her own Void is pinning her to the ground. Overhead, the UN is releasing their fighter jets to drop bombs on central Tokyo and stop GHQ - and the Virus - from getting out of hand. Someone calls out to Gai and he releases Inori's Void and is somehow able to draw out three people's Voids and combine them into a missile. He launches the newly created Void at the fighter jets and missiles that are heading towards them and he is able to hit the fighter jet. When the Void explodes, as expected, the student's whose Voids were used turn into crystals and implode, effectively killing them. Daryl and the other Endlave pilots are actually given the order to protect Gai at any cost, which bewilders Daryl and causes him to go beserk. He ends up charging Gai trying to put a stop to him and protect Tsumugi in the same blow, but his fellow pilots shoot at him, but thankfully they were able to use the emergency bailout system to save his life.
