How would you rate episode 11 of
86 ?
Two weeks ago, Episode 9 ended with our beloved cast of characters marching off into the unknown. Since then, it’s been a series of constant surprises; I had absolutely no idea where they’re going or what’s going to happen. And now, it at least appears that Spearhead Squadron has been completely wiped out, complete with a scene of Shourei leading a young Shin into the afterlife. It’s easy to think of main characters as eternal, but 86 is sticking to its guns when it comes to telling us that Spearhead Squadron really are destined to die on the battlefield.
Of course, there could be a twist where they all make it out somehow, but I feel like this is the most interesting story they could have told that continues to leave us at the edge of our seats. This episode also shows how essential Episode 10 really…
