| Full Metal Panic Vol 5 : 3 of 5 | |

 After the light-hearted episodes of Volume 4, this volume goes in a totally different direction. The first two episodes continue the story of Sosuke as a part of another fighting force going after Gauron in Sosuke's childhood home, and there are plenty of flashbacks where we learn that Sosuke has been a fighting guerrilla since he was eight years old! There are some super-dramatic battles in these episodes, full of intensity that kept me fidgeting! Sosuke's childhood mentor turns out to be one of Gauron's cronies, so it's an emotional moment when the two friends have to fight each other. He gets to use the Lambda Driver again against Gauron (who escapes to fight again in the future, no doubt). Kaname is really only in the third episode, which is a pretty funny one, since she is whisked away to their submarine where Tessa throws her a kind of appreciation party, complete with karaoke and a special bingo game where the prize is a kiss from Tessa! I thought it was interesting that the lyrics to both the opening and closing themes changed for some reason on the third episode. I guess they are just continuing the arc of the characters via the songs, or something. Guess I'll have to pay more attention, rather than just trying to sing them! So, I'm still enjoying this excellent series, but I'm glad Sosuke is back with Kaname where he belongs.
