The episode feels like a deviation from the main story. It gives like a filler vibe, personally i don't feel this episode but it's not that bad.

En este capítulo aparece un nuevo hombre dispuesto a generar controversia en la naveTeniendo en cuenta que es una serie de los 90 y la calidad era la mejor en su época, no calificaré eso.

New character introduced, bringing trouble to the pirate ship Nirvana. The episode feels dull as the story progresses slowly. Overall – slow burn, 6/10.

Episode Context

A tonal shift from lighter fare, 'Impossible!' leans into mystery and psychological tension as the Nirvana crew explores an abandoned space colony and crosses paths with a stranger named Rabat. The episode trades action spectacle for slower, character-driven unease, trust becomes the central currency, and the crew's male-female dynamic adds friction to every decision. Hibiki and his companions are forced to confront their own suspicions and biases rather than an outright enemy. Pacing is deliberate, atmosphere is guarded, and the mood sits closer to paranoid thriller than space opera. Fans who enjoy character psychology and interpersonal conflict over mech battles will find this episode rewarding. Those chasing high-energy set pieces may find it a slower burn worth enduring for what it plants.
