Commentary
Gigiru, who appears as the bad guy from the 1st episode, was strongly influenced by Basara as the story advanced. Even though it was Basara who finally reached a mutual understanding with that sort of guy through songs, Gigiru personally exhausted the burning flames of his existence when he sacrificed himself for his love for Sybil. The last moments of Gigiru, who crumbles to dust together with the planet because of the Protododevilun's astounding power, are sublime. Also, the figure of Gigiru being annihilated while simultaneously dedicating the song "My Soul For You" to Sybil, was also ephemeral.
In addition, as a Protodevilun, his being able to awaken his real body, despite his severe anger to the people who try to damage Sybil, seems to be the primary factory for him to personally produce Spiritia by singing songs. One can also consider that Gigiru, who was oddly regarded as dangerous by Geperunicchi, was at this point in time the embodiment of a phenomenon that fulfilled Geperunicchi's dream - that is to say a Protodevilun personally producing Spiritia.

Topics: Fold Navigation In The Vicinity Of The Ground Surface
Fold Navigation can make all the objects that are within the sphere that forms around the Space Folding vessel or aircraft transfer to the destination. However, when one performs a Space Fold in the vicinity of the ground surface, the Space Fold is negatively affected and a large quantity of the objects on the ground surface are swallowed up in the Space Fold. In the 3rd and 4th episodes of "Super Dimensional Fortress Macross", South Ataria Island itself was swallowed up in, and suffered damage from the Macross's Space Fold.

Topics: The Protodevilun And The Pentagram
A pentagram appears when some of the Protodevilun do a special attack, such as Barugo obstructing Space Folds with gravity waves or summoning familiars, or Garabiru's beam attack. This is because generally an upside down pentagram is treated as "the symbol of the Devil", and it seems that the symbol expresses with a hint that the Protodevilun are feared as devils.
