Xenogears E11: Mister Puniverse [Recapture Aveh + Desert Despair]

It's Episode 11, our 12th episode. We open with Ramsus' nightmare and try to determine who's pulling the most strings. We battle with Elly's Loser Squad and watch Elly get dosed with space racism. We witness Vanderkaum realize his destiny, watch Ramsus transition from Powerful to Pathetic, note strong directorial decisions with archaic assets, identify who desires the power, and wonder if there really is a Mother God. Finally, the "Demon of Elru" debuts with monstrous, awestruck-dread energy.
