The Perilous Search for Forbidden Knowledge
The central plot of Episode 7 revolves around Akira and Amoru’s desperate search for a forbidden book believed to hold vital information about the AI war and Towasa’s history. Their quest leads them to the academic city of Sendai. After visiting a black market for old books, they discover that such prohibited texts are secretly stored within the restricted archives of the city’s library.
Yugure’s Strategic Diversion
As Akira and Amoru prepare for their infiltration, Yugure, the android resembling Akira’s beloved Towasa, takes on a critical role. She detects the approach of her sister units, Yoiyami and Hakubo, who are actively pursuing her. To protect her companions and ensure the success of their mission, Yugure makes the selfless decision to act as a decoy, luring her pursuers away on her own.
Library Infiltration and Confrontation
Akira and Amoru proceed with their plan to sneak into the library. During their infiltration, they accidentally draw the attention of a guard, whom Akira manages to subdue. They eventually gain access to the office of the librarian, Seshat. Here, Akira makes a significant discovery: a book titled “The LC Project,” authored by none other than Towasa. Simultaneously, Amoru uncovers one of her parents’ books, “The Special Blood”.
Their success is short-lived, however, as a silent alarm alerts Seshat to their presence. A confrontation ensues, during which a lantern is knocked over, igniting a fire in the office. As flames engulf the room, Seshat frantically attempts to save as many books as possible. Akira is then faced with a difficult choice: save Towasa’s book, which could unravel the mysteries of the past, or Amoru’s parents’ book, significant to her personal journey. This tense climax highlights the profound impact of OWEL’s censorship and the personal sacrifices required to reclaim lost information.
OWEL’s Suppression of Information
Episode 7 further illuminates the extent of OWEL’s control over knowledge in this future world. The existence of “forbidden books” and the raids on “relevant reading materials” emphasize the organization’s aggressive efforts to suppress information related to the AI War and, more broadly, history and technology. The anime suggests that OWEL’s book-banning efforts have intensified, particularly since Akira’s awakening, implying a fear that he possesses knowledge dangerous to their established order.
Evolving Relationships
Beyond the thrilling espionage, the episode also touches upon the evolving interpersonal dynamics among the main characters. As Akira and Yugure’s bond deepens, Amoru is shown wrestling with feelings of jealousy. This adds a layer of emotional complexity to their dangerous journey, exploring whether love is truly possible in this dramatically altered world.
