The plan for the final assault was revealed in this episode. So as it turns out it looks like they can get actual bodies once this is all over. Now that I think about it, it doesn’t sound so impossible afterall since the Gars-orm have been doing something similar. I just never really considered returning to the real world as an option. We briefly see two new characters, Sara and Toga, who were piloting a Zega. In all likelihood this was just a minor introduction to allow us to realize there will be others to help with this last battle. I’m really glad they put in Kuroshio’s resistance to the plan. It adds a whole other level to the story by getting us to think about whether it really is better to “live forever” or to exist in the real world with death as something inevitable. With Kuroshio threatening to betray Celebrant, the last few episodes of the series should be good.
