EPISODE CONTEXT

As Episode 7 of 13, this lands at the exact midseason pivot where Getter Robo: Armageddon transitions from establishing its post-timeskip conflicts into the deeper cosmic horror of its back half. The preceding episodes rebuilt the team dynamics and reintroduced the Invader threat at a catastrophic scale, and "Into the Dragon" appears to push the crew into direct engagement with the Shin Dragon — a confrontation that will define the trajectory of the final six episodes. This is where the series shifts gears from buildup to full commitment.
