Story

Commentary
With such things as annihilating escort carriers and Valkyrie squadrons by herself, as is, in living flesh, Sybil appears before Basara and others with an existence that is completely different from the enemies that have appeared so far. While finally clarifying the true identity of the enemy with the arrival of Sybil, who has powers that exceed human knowledge, she becomes a figure that deepens the mystery of the enemy even more. In addition, Sybil's actions, such as showing an inexplicable reaction only to Basara's songs and calling him an "Anima Spiritia", are connected to more clearly expressing the peculiarities that Basara has.
Also, the painful developments for Gamlin continue, such as Kinryu having no hope of recovery in this episode, which is like his comrade-in-arms Physica, who was lost while attacking a retreating enemy in the previous episode. The last scene, where he heads toward telling Physica's family about his death, coupled with the lyrical melody of Basara's new song "Remember 16", which flows in the background, especially strongly transmits Gamlin's unbearable feelings.

Topics: Topics: The Protodevilun Sybil
Sybil displays astounding abilities. Even though Geperunicchi and Gigiru are the same family, she didn't occupy and possess a human body like those two. For that reason, she takes pride in her extremely high potential, such as having a tough body, which is able to endure a direct hit from the VF-17D's powerful posture control booster, and independently navigating in space.
Topics: Physica's Family
Physica fell on the battlefield while thinking of his wife and child, who were left behind in City 7. However, as he was apt to be away from home as he was a busy civilian in military employ, another man's form was already next to his wife (Wendy) and son (Maa-kun). The cause of Physica ending up with the complaint that his son hasn't remembered his face may have been because this man was a substitute father.
