This episode was devoted to building up the queerats as a legitimate threat, not just to Saki and her small group of friends this time, but to all humans. So it is strange that, at the start of the episode, I actually felt pity for the queerats- I had no idea they were controlled by humans to the extent they are, I thought they simply kept a wary eyes on them, using their cantus as a deterrent against bad behaviour. This soon changed, however, the confusion stirred by not knowing for certain who the true perpetrator of the attack on the Spider Wasps was, or their motive, thanks to Squealer’s elaborate theories, and the authorities seriously considering them, making it seem as though the queerats may actually have the upper hand.
Watashi Wa Bucho!!
