Somebody should seriously teach these soldiers a thing or two about warfare.

I was especially pleased by the fact I didn't hate Rygart anymore. Sure, he still doesn't kick ass, but at least he went out to fight willingly, even if he wasn't really out for blood. He needs a railgun, though.
Well, we have to remember those yellow mechs have very high manoeuvrability and speed capacities, so much that only a very small number of people are able to just operate them. And Cleo is high above the best tier of people able to use those mechs. When you see her move at "normal" speed, the others are in fact in slow motion. Or I should write they are at normal speed and she's just in Fast Forward mode.
This has been shown a lot in previous eps, suprise+speed enable this very small team to eradicate lots of enemies like tigers attacking sheep.

You have to take into account the fact she has had the upper hand on Rygart and even was able to beat him hard even with the failsafes... that were enough till now.

And yes, Rigart has had to evolve and become a tainted adult/warior and will have to go further down that slope.
I liked how they choose a very simple, yet effective approach for his attack. I also like that nothing works 100% right at first atempt
and they all have to deal with compromises.
I liked that Cleo, like Rygart and Zess also meet the impossible. Cleo against the General and his experience, Zess agains Rygart, Rygart against Cleo.
