Actually Ganishka comments about it in the episode. He says that the naval attack was just a showy way to start the battle but that it wasn't all that important in the big picture, and that the final winner will be determined by the number of soldiers involved.
ironlung said:Silat is still a normal human so I'm curious how he's going to react after seeing the pure destructive power of apostles (assuming we get some transformations this battle).
Well he's already seen enough in Wyndham I think, and in fact the Tapasa mention the fact supernatural powers are involved during their talk in this episode.
ironlung said:We'll also get to find out if that Owen dude is really of any use in battle at all.
One thing I can tell you is that he doesn't think it's a good idea to fight the Kushans in such massive numbers. So far his judgement has proven to be correct.

And a kid, let's not forget about that. The context was also a bit particular when he pledged his sword to him, the atmosphere wasn't the same than now. But to come back to what you were saying, I don't think Owen will question Griffith's actions much either. At least not at first. He might be curious and notice the change in him (and in the Hawks), but he's seen the Falcon of Light in his dreams like all the others in Midland, and he's looking forward to being saved (see his recent talk with Guts and the ensuing monologue).
yota821 said:Also, the Tapasa conversation had me a little curious. I wonder if Silat is considering to just sit back and passively watch, if not actively betray Ganishka (with the information he has)?
I wondered the exact same thing. Let's keep in mind that all they care about is the fate of their clan. They have no real loyalty to Ganishka or anybody else.
TheSkyTraveller said:I don't have too many comments other than that was a whole lot of drawing some beautiful pages, a task which would have made me want to cry.
That's funny because Miura added something that translates like "(crying)" at the end of his comment in YA.
So, what happens in the episode in a few words: Owen comments on how Vritannis' whole garrison was annihilated in a single night, then he wonders how the Daka died. The Tapasa are wondering what course of action to take. Silat's pensive as shown in the panel and doesn't answer them. They're basically trying to get the most out of the situation, but are wary of putting the survival of their clan in the hands of monsters. Owen is uneasy about the coming clash, and Ganishka talks about what I mentioned earlier.
