Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Knives takes away Vash’s precious memories, disabling Vash completely. He begins the final phase of the process that will change the planet forever. Meryl, however, isn’t willing to sit idly while this happens.
Our Take
This is a brutal, gorgeous finale that actually earns its big swings. The confrontation between the brothers lands hard emotionally, and Meryl finally gets a moment that justifies her whole arc this season. Some of the CG action gets muddy in the chaos, but the final image sticks with you. A strong close that makes the wait for more genuinely painful.
