Great episode, the Juggernaut Drive is perfect, but i can't help but feel that the Asia surviving part is too cliche maybe to the point where it doesn't make sense.

Just think about it, when Shalba attack Diodora he went straight for the kill, then for Asia he banished her away to the Dimensional Gap? Too obvious of a different treatment to the point where it feels like getting angry is meaningless.

Vali Team being there to rescue her, too much of a coincidence, thus ended up making it feel forced.

To me the plot was good till this point where it became Deus ex Machina which was created solely just to ensure Asia survive with an illogical situation because Beelzebub avoided a direct kill for no apparent reason and the Vali Team being there just to save the day.

So to me the Asia plot is very badly handled to the point where it felt completely forced. So only 3/10 overall for poor plot handling.
