RahXephon Season 1 Episode 22 Down Fall

Makoto fires Haruka for drawing a humourous caricature of him as a white snake, what he is called behind his back by the TERRA staff. Fortunately, Haruka couldn't be happier to be free of the new commander's grasp. The Bähbem Foundation, the real controllers of the Federation, have ordered Isshiki to cancel his operation to destroy the Tōkyō barrier, but Makoto refuses and moves up the operation before the Foundation can act.
