This episode was a great continuation from the previous one. Allelujah passed out on contact with Soma and the Kyrios was (temporarily) captured. Tieria was going to have none of that though. They really managed to amp up the adrenaline during Virtue's encounter with Soma and the rest of Sergei's squad. Tieria fought well, but he was over confidante. Not only was Soma able to outmaneuver Virtue's shots, but Sergei used its weaknesses to tie it up.
And of course, good old Nadleeh breaks lose and instantly vaporizes six Tierens. For some reason using using the Nadleeh really got to Tieria. Apparently he failed Veda, which must come as a hell of a shock to him seeing as he was calling Allelujah a disgrace only a few minutes prior. The ore wa, boku wa, watashi wa sequence seems to imply that Trap-kun has some issues possibly dealing with his gender. Considering the meaning of Nadleeh, it can't be a coincidence.
Anyway, Sergei and Soma retreat only to run into psycho Hallelujah who escaped from the Lao Fu transport that was holding the Kyrios. Let's just say he was pissed. He proceeds to screw with Soma's head by pelting her machine with weak, rapid fire to show her he knew what she was going to do beforehand. Ming, whom we briefly met in the prior episode, valiantly sacrifices himself so that Soma and Sergei can escape. Then, in one of the more chilling scenes, Hallelujah slowly skewers him while taunting him. It was really sadistic to watch.
So, Sergei's squad was forced to retreat in the end, but Celestial Being suffered a heavy loss in the morale department. Sumeragi thinks she's hopeless cause she made another mistake, Allelujah is questioning his own humanity, and Tieria thinks he failed Veda. The preview for next episode indicates that we're getting an Allelujah focus again and he's on a vendetta to take down the HRL's super human program. Should be good.
