Episode 21:

Definitely better than the previous one. If there's anything negative about it that I have to say, it's that shame the dynamic between Osamu and the rest of E.G.I.S. isn't explored further than what we got.

But for a one-off character, Osamu really jumped high, very well neared Oda's level back in 10 and I thought that was impossible. For one, we started with him, during the chaos of 18 with Zetton, already establishing a question that's been explored again in recent installments as well as setting up his character.

It's understandable that because of Zetton's attack, he develops a hatred towards the summoner. Though, it could have been improved if we actually saw Osamu seeing the summoning so as to be able to make the assumption that all aliens are bad in the first place. Thinking again, this episode could have been a tri-focus episode with Osamu, Hiroyuki and Homare given the circumstance, but what we got was good.

It's also a really good call on their end in making Osamu slowly realize the folly of his actions. One of my fears about this kind of episode is that things end up getting resolved too quickly with the conflict extinguisher being something that came out of the blue. This time, thanks to the contrast between Osamu and the Ghos, the resolution ended up being far more satisfactory than I could have imagined.

Unfortunately, that's all for Osamu, and because I wanna talk about Tregear.

They really cranked up his bastard level didn't they? He has the pettiness of Kei, the insanity of Juggler, as well as the charm of Aizen. Don't @ me.

Everything he did, or has done so far, has been seriously unnerving. But this episode just made all that inconsequential, because him calling down Ura (Or possibly Wooler) was just outright chilling. Not to mention, the final scene showed us what could be a countdown timer, and well... it did the job.

Also, the episode was apparently written by Hirotoshi Kobayashi. Makes sense why it was exemplary. Seriously.

But yeah, that's all for now, let's see if next episode gets me talking again.
