Ep. 7: Ledo kills a sacred whalesquid, prompting Pinion and Flange to plan secession after Fairlock suffers a heart attack.

Ledo kills a whalesquid, a sacred earthling animal, sparking rumors of misfortune aboard the Gargantia. Chamber analyzes the creature and deduces that whalesquids and Hideauze have learned to coexist, contradicting Ledo’s belief that they are enemies. Meanwhile, Pinion intends to recruit Ledo to explore whalesquid territory for treasure, driven by a desire for revenge against the creatures that killed his older brother. Bellows attempts to dissuade Pinion, but his ulterior motive remains hidden. As Chamber confirms the biological similarity between whalesquids and Hideauze, Ledo resolves to exterminate them despite Amy’s objections. When a large group approaches the Gargantia, Commander Fairlock orders all machinery and lights shut down to avoid provoking the creatures. Amy tries to stop Ledo from engaging, but he only stands down when Ridget points a gun at him. The whalesquids pass safely. Ledo rejects Amy’s perspective, while Pinion informs Fairlock of his plan to leave. Flange declares he will join Pinion. As both prepare to secede, Fairlock attempts to dissuade them but suffers a heart attack.
