Tập 12: Shin lái xe tăng Tiger II gặp nạn và đối mặt với các khoản đòi hỏi tài chính khiến anh phải ở lại Area 88 thêm.

12

Shin's damaged Tiger II crashes in the Area's airstrip. While he himself is unharmed, Saki, who is unwilling to lose a pilot of Shin's caliber, forces him to pay for all damages, extending Shin's stay in Area 88. Makoto is forced to leave the base after Greg revealed his true objective to his fellow pilots, but before leaving he tells Shin that Kanzaki plans to marry Ryouko. Driven to the edge, Shin rents another Tiger from McCoy, loaded to the brim with fuel and ammo, and heads for the nearest border to defect- with Kitori, Mickey, Kim, and all of the other Area 88 mercenaries on his heels to shoot him down. They are able to convince him not to defect and he leads them into battle against an approaching enemy force. Makoto makes it to Japan in time and informs Ryoko that Shin is still alive, who then runs away from the wedding, in her dress. Shin is later shown to be at Area 88, continuing to fight, hoping to one day earn his freedom. (Source: Wikipedia)
