In order to aid Daichi, Globe starts gathering allies including Teppei Arashi, a Kill-T-Gang whose memories have been erased and trapped inside a human's body Hana Mutou, a mysterious girl connected to the ship Blume and Akari Yomatsuri, a 17-year-old genius hacker. Plenty of time to fix these problems though, and I’m still fairly interested in where they are taking this.High-school student Daichi Manatsu works for the Globe ( グローブ, Gurōbu) organization to pilot a giant robot called the Earth Engine Impacter ( アースエンジンインパクター, Āsu Enjin Inpakutā) to protect the Earth from the invading alien force known as the "Kill-T-Gang" ( キルトガング, Kirutogangu), that intends to drain all the life force of mankind to empower their immortal existences. At any rate, I completely forgot she was in this episode. I know it’s only episode 4, but the rate at which they keep telling us she is so integral to everyone’s plans would make you think they might spend more time with her character. Hana was severely underused again this episode. My gut feeling is an good guy role is not in the cards for this dude. Another path could be he becomes Daichi’s rival, while working with the alien team. It definitely looks like Teppei/Alaya will be the character to either betray or heroically sacrifice themselves in this series. Someone in the comments on Crunchyroll made this hilarious comparison, and another person joked that Daichi is Ash and Teppei is Pikachu. This time the aliens escape, and make like Team Rocket. Daichi the Shonen hero, stops him from leaving, and uses the power of nakama (always useful :P) to summon Livlaster and shoot the mobile tech. The battle continues onto the beach (heh, every episode either ends on the beach or in space) where Teppei confronts Amara and says he’ll go with them if they stop attacking. The aliens retreat back to their crepe truck, which has a hidden mobile tech inside it. Nishibuko, Rita, Thunder and some soldiers break into the room and a battle is about to start, when Akari hacks the defense system back online. Moco wonders if he is a traitor to their cause, which Teppei doesn’t answer. Amara greets him as Alaya, not Teppei, who rejects the name. Daichi, on the other hand, is out cold in the corner. Teppei, who has been momentarily knocked out, comes to with both aliens pointing guns at him. The aliens have blown a hole in the interrogation room, for it appears they are after Teppei. The alarm alerts those inside the base and Nishibuko heads out with Rita and Thunder (the black guy, glasses). Under the crepe ruse and some sort of illusion trick, the aliens knock out the security gate guards and inject the base’s defense system with a virus. I joke, but these exchanges between the two are some of the best moments in Captain Earth so far. Daichi, ever the happy go lucky shonen lead that he is, gives Teppei back the Surprise necklace. He also mutters to himself that he somehow always knew he wasn’t who he thought he was. Teppei confides to Daichi that as a kid he was proud of the fact he could produce a rainbow ring with his hands, but now he wants to hide it. When Nishibuko allow him to go talk to Teppei, Rita asks if Uncle is being too soft on Daichi. Once at the base, Daichi learns that Teppei is still in the interrogation room. Who comes to buy crepes but Daichi and Akari, on their way to the base themselves. To him, Albion helped Earth Engine win.īad news time, as the aliens have arrived on Earth and they’re driving a crepe van. In private, Nishibuko asks Westvillage and Rita (orange hair, glasses) to keep this new info quiet, even from HQ. He also accuses Teppei not of controlling the Kiltgang Albion, but being Albion itself. In Teppei’s test, Westvillage explains to him that the machine he piloted was stolen from Macbeth Enterprises around the same time they “acquired” Teppei. The show keeps telling me she’s super important, but I just don’t see it. That’s it for Hana this episode if you were wondering. In Hana’s test, we learn that she has an extra organelle that regular humans don’t. But before we get to that, Teppei and Hana are both currently in testing at the base. In this episode, the aliens Amara (I still don’t think he’s actually been called by name in the series) and Moco invade the base and come face to face with our heroes.
