Episode Title:
Moment of Decision.
Episode Description:
Pinion is approached by Lukkage, who is planning a rebellion at the fleet. Ledo tries to dissuade Kugel from preparing to attack the Gargantia, but with no success. Confused about what he should do, Ledo witnesses the people of the fleet throwing their sick and weak into the ocean. Realizing that the same will be done to Bebel, Ledo decides to confront Kugel by himself. Accepting Ledo's decision, Pinion equips Chamber with some extra weapons, while Lukkage and Flange make preparations for the impending uprising. Melty is instructed by Ledo to deliver a message to the Gargantia. However, she almost faints by traveling so far by herself and is rescued by Amy. Informed about Kugel's attack, the crew of the Gargantia considers to abandon the fleet as Ledo recommended. Instead, Amy urges that they should do something to help Ledo as well, and Oldham suggests Ridget to make use of the special key that Fairlock entrusted her. As the rebellion begins, Ledo, assisted by Pinion's crew, fights Kugel, while the pirates, led by Lukkage, attack the fleet's soldiers. When Ledo finally manages to pin down Kugel and open Striker's cockpit, it is revealed that Kugel was long dead inside it.
