Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The tension between Antodus and Ganatus in Episode 10 (desertion vs. mission) reaches catastrophic fruition in Episode 11, where the rockfall blocks their escape and Ganatus collapses emotionally. This escalation of conflict mirrors the Thals' growing ideological fracture.
