Damn, this episode. ;^;
I have started to like Ed a lot more throughout the last two episodes. Despite everything that has happened he wants to help Judai because he had also helped him and Saiou. Also, he cared about Echo, whom he has just met, and wants to prevent Amon from sacrificing her.
And in the scene above, my jaw dropped and I really had to pause because it left such an impression on me. Killing someone because of power is basically what had happened to Ed’s dad, and this explains his reaction right here.
Additionally, Judai (who has been quiet and emotionless throughout the duel) realizes that Amon is going to do the same mistake that he did and tells him to stop (the sound of Judai’s voice at that moment almost made me cry D:).
And Amon… I never liked him.
This is one of the episodes I am going to remember, because it was so powerful and heartbreaking (actually, many parts of this season are). It really left an impression on me and I cannot even put it in words properly.
