THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I am getting mightily tired of Chirico being captured by the enemy over and over again, and then he get's rescued/escaped one way or another. I'm not even halfway through this series, should I expect more captures and escapes later? >_< Aside from that Ypsilon looks like one tough customer.

Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Well, him being captured is due to various reasons. If i were to give one that would stick with many other animes, it would mainly be this : He's using a totally normal unit, that's not special in any way, therefore it's easily destroyable and therefore he's easily capturable. In how many cases where one person has a special unit, does he/she get caught all the time?

Yes, he get captured, but he also gets beat a lot unlike the MC's of today. His principal talent is his incredible resilience and toughness. He keeps on gettin up.

Chirico has once again located Fyana, but after she broke him out of that dungeon, she wouldn't escape with him, as she feels that she will simply continue to be hunted down.

Monica helped Chirico escape, as a way of thanking him for saving her life during the "Russian Roulette" moment.

Show was getting rather stale, but since this current arc it has really turned around. Love the jungle setting, Chirico showing some personality and Kan Yu being a heel you really despise.
