It's been eating at me about what exactly causes the ship to explode after Ruby kicks the Griffon.

The episode page describes it as "damaged during the fight." OK, we have 1) Ruby slices a long gash in it with her scythe 2) Crescent Rose somehow landing lodged into the edge after Neopolitan disarms Ruby 3) Griffon making rough contact with the hull and a sudden fire.

Here's the thing... I was trying to figure out if the griffon crashed through the gash Ruby had made... but the wide shot of Roman beating on her doesn't show the gash nearby at all. It's not visible during the kick either, though that could be the angle. (Note: battle page summary explains it as "Ruby pushes the Griffon down into the airship.")

What is visible is the massive hole in the ship after the fire/explosion. And you know what? That hole has the damaged split pieces of hull coming ''outward. ''Not inward. So the explosion must have come from inside the ship.

So what caused the ship to explode from the inside? All the rest of explosions are from inside as well. I'm only coming up with one theory that doesn't involve RT having made an animation mistake, and it's kinda crazy.

So anyone else have ideas? Thanks.
