In the seventh episode of Giant Beasts of Ars, we learn a bit more about the ruling powers of the high tower, and the journey of our heroes begins to connect with the events there. The exposition in the previous episodes didn’t provide the viewer with much useful information, but that changes in this episode. We learn that the ruling powers are aware of the experiments with the magical child soldiers and that even the suggestion of stopping them will have consequences.
Another major revelation in this episode is that Jiro was married! The buildup of the relationship between Jiro and Taka was touching, with their shared interest in art and progress, but when they are drafted as soldiers, Taka’s death feels oddly rushed and lacks the emotional impact it could have had. However, Jiro’s relationship with Kumi is recontextualized through the cleric-paladin dynamic.
All in all, this episode doesn’t bring much, but it fills in some gaps and adds important elements to the story.
