Ep. 21: Licht gefangen und Gregorovichs Vergangenheit enthüllt, während Doan sich einer Operation verweigert

Hina and the others find Licht unconscious before being captured by the SSU. Murdoch confronts Gregorovich, revealing he knows he is Captain Alan, and demands a star stake, though first he demands to know why Gregorovich betrayed the world. Gregorovich melts Murdoch's iron, revealing he is the Ace of Explosive Strikes. He explains he had a son and daughter who were murdered for their food. Gregorovich found the murderer but couldn't kill him as the murderer only wanted the food for his own child. Gregorovich instead blamed their failing society, and when an opportunity came to create a better world, he took it. With Murdoch defeated his count is reduced to 1. Murdoch challenges him again; pointing out Gregorovich chose to raise him as his son instead of asking Nana to send him back in time to save his own children. Gregorovich refuses and fires Murdoch from the military so he can return to his friends. Hina, Lynn and Pele are imprisoned by Schmelman and Hina demands to know why he betrayed his students. Schmelman reveals he supported the non-killing army to weed out the weak and find people like Rihito for the Ace surgery. He orders Doan to perform the Ace surgery on them and leaves. However, Doan refuses to let anyone become an Ace who did not suffer through the Waste War and kills his own men to set them free. As they are leaving Hina accidentally drops the 10,000 ballot. Furious that they might be plotting to destroy Alcia after he and the Aces suffered to create it in the first place Doan decides to kill them. (Source: Wikipedia)
