Ep. 7: Nagate reflects on Shizuka's death while facing new Gauna threats and a planet destruction order.
Aired on May 23, 2014
Nagate recalls the battle where Shizuka died after Kunato prematurely detonated explosives, causing the Gauna to survive and strike back. Seven pilots were lost, and En Honoka was critically injured. Now hated by the public for the failed tail severing, Nagate regains confidence with Izana. The Captain orders a planet destroyed where surviving Gauna fled. Yuhata, now Executive Officer, succeeds, but Gauna 489, 490, and 491 emerge. The Captain orders a squad, including Nagate, to intercept them. Shockingly, the Gauna appear as Guardians with unit number 702, formerly Shizuka's callsign.
