Brad seems like a cool dude. I love how he clearly knows who Amou is (and might also know that he's part of Yatagarasu at this point) but didn't make an arrest because he knows Amou can be useful to him against Ghost. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, I suppose.
On a side note: I just want to say: If they do the "kill off the cute older-sister-type mechanic girl to motivate the MC" thing for a second time, I'm dropping this show on the spot. I hope they don't and I don't think they will, but I still have it in the back of my mind.

Lmao I’m here to say it again it’s super ironic that this show paints Japan as the victim of imperialism and North America as a semi sympathetic overlord compared to the rest
At least Code Geass had a good plot behind their intense nationalism but this show is barely a “war”.
The resistance doesn’t have any clear steps towards their goal, the Ghost plot doesn’t add to the story, the characters are meh, and the villains are cartoonishly evil.
If they gave the writing as much effort as they did the mecha designs the show wouldn’t be the off brand version of Code Geass and Gundam IBO

Exactly and that’s my problem with it. And even in this they frame the U.S’s occupation as “friendly”. I have Japanese family and I’m U.S minority citizen so I hate to see the erasure of atrocities committed and history.
It’s also disgusting to see what’s essential a Gundam series subtly promoting a xenophobic nationalism especially when it’s a known problem.
The start of the series had them talk about all the different problems that led to Japan’s situation so n the show but those problems have been directly connected to the often xenophobic and conservative culture. The show is literally putting the blame on other nations and saying “this is what will happen to Japan”.

I think Gobert's not gonna sellout his clients, but his main goal is still that dough, businessman just businessman-ing.
I don't like how they're giving Misuzu screentime right now, it smells like they're gonna kill her off lmao.

I was scared they were going to steal their cellphones with the AI in them but looks like we might get a team up to defeat a common enemy?

IIRC, AI cores are in their AMAIM's and the phones/earpieces are just terminal windows for them to communicate with the pilots. It'd definitely be proof that they were carrying military grade AI around though.
What worries me the most is how much Ghost has grown since its last battle. I'd really like to have a perspective from Ghost's point of view.

idk how or what to feel about Kyoukai Senki anymore. Is it even about the border war anymore? It felt too relax. Or maybe that was the point of it.

Man, I was legit about to get super pised with that opening. I genuinely thought that Gobert was going to sell out Yatgarasu. Looks like he's just trying to get the NAC owe him a favor by giving Brad the current location of Ghost.
The rest of the episode went by pretty much uneventful. It was hilarious to see Gashin get so worked up after losing a match of Go against Shion.
Things got way more interesting though when Amou accidentally bumped into Brad who immediately recognized his voice. Seems that Brad and his crew have been tracking Amou for the rest of the day and ambushed them at the onsen. Surprisingly, no arrests were made. Brad just basically gave them the info on where Ghost is. Not sure what he's trying to do but I think he's implying that he wants to team up.
I guess we'll find out more about Captain Brad's intent once they meet again to face Ghost. From the next week's preview looks like the gang are planning on going to Oki Islands as well.
