Effectively, that Gaydle subplot didn’t quantity to great, did it? Bringing down the discouraged child before he could presumably well per chance make any longer injury turned into a war that near to introduced Haga and Akira to blows but the episode would now not even make anything with that doubtlessly juicy friction before having the social gathering head off to their next checkpoint. The drama between Haga and Akira is dropped fully as soon as Gaydle’s village is in the rearview judge. We skip over a entire month of the community ethical trudging along to fulfill Akira’s companions in Sai. Originate air of a funds makes an strive at pathos, it seems the handiest actual point of this divergence turned into to hammer home the same points about the dangers of using debug mode and to knock out Nikola so we could presumably well per chance give our heroes a brand contemporary purpose to work in the direction of.
The stuff in Sai is now not all that great extra compelling, both, since the remainder of the episode functions mostly as a table setting for whatever this Alba storyline is going to be doing for the final stretch of the season. The contemporary debuggers we meet from Akira’s company are…fine, though they build now not maintain great of an impression previous the unusually intense makeout scene that we find between Akira and her boyfriend. Come to think of it, ought to you combine that with the uncharacteristically brazen fanservice photos of Akira in the combined-gender baths afterward, this entire episode cranks up the Sexy Dial plenty higher than is ordinary for Quality Assurance. Odd.
The most interesting trend of this episode by a ways is the demonstrate that Sai’s resident god-mage, Alba, is Tesla’s youthful “brother” who serves as one other of the regional A.I. directors for this sport. The notion that there are a entire bunch of freaky computer deities like Tesla for our heroes to kind out is something I need had been established sooner and explored great extra. There’s absolute self assurance that it could well presumably well per chance finish up feeling great extra satisfying than whatever that checklist about Gaydle and the giants turned into supposed to be.
Sadly, except I spent an undue interval of time complaining about how low-payment Quality Assurance continues to look, I create now not fill great extra to issue about “Alba”, whether we’re talking about the persona or the episode itself. At this point, I ethical hope that the sequence hasn’t wasted all of its most efficient tips already, since it will be a shame for the season to peter out with a boring whimper of a finale.
