Preface: The fansub group, Infinite-Zero, begin the episode with some name translations. Alwurm is retranslated as Album, meaning white in Latin. The busty communicator with blue-ish hair is Machina now. Onto the episode now eh?

Commander Sakaki receives a transmission from his superior officer, Mr. Kiril, who is furious at the appearance of the dragons in the city. Kiril dispatches the Gillard Army to deal with the situation. The Lindwurm unit and their communicators soon arrive at the scene and Liner makes a comment about Album being one of the original three.

Toa manages to calm Spirytus down, but the Gillard army’s choppers attack the dragons, causing Spirytus to go into a rage again. Spirytus shoots down several choppers with energy blasts and one of them spirals towards Jin who is watching helplessly on the ground. Toa rushes in to place a barrier around the chopper, making it descend to the ground gently. She then immobilizes all of the remaining helicopters as well as Spirytus and rushes away with the dragon in tow.

Kiril grants permission for the ISDA to actualize their communicators. Things get a bit freaky here because Howling Star, Machina, and Amadeus transform into mech dragons. The humans hop into the cockpits and give pursuit of Toa and Spirytus. They have little trouble catching up and another battle ensues. Spirytus goes berserk again and one of his stray blasts hits Toa. The tremors of the battle awaken Gio who rushes outside to join the battle. As Jin yells at Kazuki to stop the battle, Toa crashes next to them. She tries to approach him, but she sees that Jin is frightened by her appearance and she takes off again. Gio appears from out of nowhere and transforms into a dragon to follow Toa. Jin hops onto Gio’s back as they rush to the battle.

Liner receives the order to kill Spirytus from Sakaki. Howling Star uses a powerful drill technique to cut Spirytus in half. Gio catches up to Toa and Jin reaches his hand out to her. He has an illusion where he is lying in a field and Toa can be heard singing. He gets up and calls to her. She doesn’t turn around and tells him that since he has seen her true form that she must leave. She leaves with Gio who swears to protect her. Jin is thrown off Gio’s back and falls into the sea, feeling helpless as Toa disappears. After the evening events, Sakaki returns home and sees the mass media coverage of the dragon battle, the destruction left in its wake, and the link to the ISDA.

Drills sure have gotten popular lately. We are left wondering what will become of the relationship between Jin and Toa. Gio will probably a potential love rival or something of the sort. It also looks like Jin will be going into space next time. Stay tuned for next week’s episode.

I just checked up on the gaming news today and one thing really caught my eye over at Kotaku. Okami is going to get a Wii port.

*Cue girly scream of joy*

Waiting until 2008 is going to be an eternity. I’m adding to my list of must buy games. If you have a Wii, it would be a crime not to. Anyway, expect an animu post later tonight or tomorrow.
