What Happens in This Episode?
This episode is a bridge into the final battle. It lines up the defenses, highlights how fragile the monolith system is, and reminds viewers that the people most capable of fighting are still socially disposable to many adults around them.
PopRot watch focus: track how the episode links anti-Gastrea tactics to the treatment of Cursed Children. The battles matter, but the social consequences are what make Black Bullet distinct.
