Episode 10

Thank You (ありがとう,) is the tenth episode of the 86 -Eighty Six- anime adaptation, originally broadcasted on June 12, 2021.

Synopsis
After the battle with the Shepherd, the members of the team began to move on, and finally leave the control of the Republic. No longer forced to fight, they and Fido continue to move forward aimlessly, enjoying the changing nature and the fact that they are not on a hurried journey. However, the threat of Legion was always with them. In the middle of their journey, Fido tells them there is a town nearby, and they decide to stop by to check it out. There, Shin overhears a voice.

Plot
Now free from the Republic's control, Spearhead travels deeper into old Imperial territory, avoiding Legion patrols until reaching a river their Juggernauts cannot cross without a bridge. With their progress stopped, they are able to take the opportunity to rest, relax, and explore a nearby abandoned Giadian town, and they note that Shin seems far more relaxed and easy going now that he has set Shourei free and had been able to confide with Lena about his troubles. The next day, Shin returns to the town to confront a damaged Black Sheep that he was able to hear, and euthanizes it by destroying its central processor. Afterwards, he tells the rest of Spearhead that he intends to find a foreign nation the Legion hasn't been able to conquer where they can live in peace. Two weeks later, Fido recalls its memories of being found by Shin and living with Spearhead before it is destroyed in an explosion.
