IN this episode my rage towards Monsley and Orlo reached it's peak >.<
But luckily, with some help of Mother Nature, the Industrians finally got defeated. But Conan really is a saint, if it were me I don't know if I had saved Monsley and especially Orlo..
I probably regret this post by now.

That was frightening! Finally Dyce was a man in this episode, I really like him now! I dunno about Monsley, she's a very conflicted character and I'm sure after the loss, she'll start see things the right away. As for Orlo, that guy is just a complete asshole and is the only character I would have definitely left out there to drown.

When the water crashes down around us, all the divisions fade away. Powerful stuff, and there was an epic knife fight too. Choreography wasn't anything special, but there was a little something about an incoming fucking tidal wave that kicked it up a notch.

I really enjoyed Monsley's flashback, especially because it didn't trigger immediate, unwarranted character development. She recognizes the sadness in her responsibilities and carries on in spite of it. I like how the villains in Conan were once unambiguously good, and once unshackled can easily become so again. Much like villains in real life, I suppose.

Side note:
Lana's uncle appears to be a physician, yet he refused to treat wounded soldiers. Even if they're 'enemies', that's only the case so long as an invasion is active, and even then they're equally valuable human lives. Guy needs to work on his doctor ethics. I would have threatened his wife too, if it meant keeping some people alive.

This must be one of the greatest single episodes of animation I've ever had the pleasure of watching. 5/5

Man! Great episode! I love how the tidal wave brought everyone together, all fueled by a common goal of survival.
It says something really profound about the nature of the human race, and how we only make war for self-satisfaction, but really all we want to do is survive.

Except for Orlo, of course, who remained a total bastard even in the face of danger.

Monsley's flashback also helped to humanize her a bit more, and I'm interested to see where her character goes from here.

Monsley completely froze up when she saw the tsunami, because she was obviously having flashbacks of her childhood. Hopefully she'll she become Conan's friend.

But Orlo, that guy really is filth from head to toe, isn't he? I don't know if there's any way he'll change.

Great episode.

The monster wave just came at the right time.

I'm interested to see how Monsley is going to redeem herself and regarding Orlo, best thing would be to imprison him :P

This show has been getting better and better each episode. Monsleys past, her freezing up because she's witnessing a tidal wave that was like the one that destroyed her home and her dog passing away. Seeing the villagers in the end take back High Harbour, happy to see Orlo defeated, hate his character. Loving the show, its interesting seeing Lana being able to telepathically communicate with Conan. Hopefully Monsley will work alongside the people in High harbour now. 5/5 best episode so far

It seems like Conan and Lana are Newtypes (Gundam).

Orlo didn't get nearly enough ass kicking and he even gets saved.
Monsley tries to shoot Conan after her flashback that was supposed to hint at a previous good side so she still deserves an ass kicking too.
Dyce still deserves an ass kicking for all the times he betrayed anyone he comes in contact with.

None of them are close to being redeemed.

I was afraid the island was going to sink, thankfully it was just a tsunami. I was really hoping Orlo was going to drown, he didn't deserve to be saved. I suspect there's going to be more to his backstory coming up though after Lana asked him "What happened to you". Whatever it was I don't think anything can ever excuse his behavior, he's just plain evil.

Irritating episode simply because I didn't think Monsley and Orlo deserved to be saved. Yeah I'm petty but man... They might humanize the characters more later on (already throwing hints or straight up flashbacks for both), and you know what they say, a villain turned (anti-)hero is always most likeable to the audience. But that's a different story ;_;

Like I said in a previous episode, I already knew nothing would happen to Monsley and Orlo. They could literally attempt to murder a child and still come unscathed. Miyazaki, what a sentimental hack you are.
