Bright is a jerk, but amazing episode.

I disliked Ryu in the last episode, but now he really stepped it up.
Too bad he's gone now. :[

I loved the mourning in this episode.
Everyone on WB cried. You don't see that very often in today's shows.

I was heart-broken when Bright got on his knees, crying.

YES, AMURO, it was YOUR fault! YOURS!

Well of course, when nameless mooks die nobody cares, even though they are just as much members of the crew as anyone else... when Ryu dies everyone throws a fit... that mourning scene was just too over-the-top to stomach...

They indeed went a bit overboard with the mourning, since they didn't really care for the others....so there won't be anyone who slaps Amuro anymore?

Seems to me that they were all overly saddened with his passing. Maybe it had to do with them all being newtypes? I know it hasn't been mentioned so far in the series, but it makes me wonder.

Pretty much this. The fact that he hadn't received very much characterization didn't help matters either. Otherwise, a pretty decent episode.

Meh, Ryu's death wasn't that surprising. He had death flags popping up the whole episode. Why they are mourning now when one of them died while in previous episode many WB members died as heroes defending WB.

It would have been fun for Zeon to actually succeed. Sadly, enemies are destined to fail. :(

Because Ryu-san got so little screen time and development, the drama that followed his death felt sooo out of place and overblown, especially when you consider that they already lost dozens of soldiers in the guerilla led by Ramba Ral... and that they didn't seem to give two shits (I mean, if we hadn't seen a couple tombs we could have easily forgotten it had even happened).
And Bright crying his eyeballs out seriously... lmao

In Bright's defense, he said the crew's inexperience killed Ryu and all of the other crewmates. He took responsibility for everone, even though Ryu's death put it over the top.

Wow another heart breaking episode T__T

First off yay we got some Hamon service before the fight :)

Yeah there were already red flags as soon as Ryu started talking about launching in his condition.

I'm surprise about Hamon's fascination with Amuro O___O

I wonder if Matilda-san feels the same?? Amuro might be happy as hell when he sees that!!

So Hamon and Ryu both dies.

Yeah i kinda feel over dramatic since they just started dying even though they lost a lot more in the previous episode.

I guess they really didn't expect Ryu to die out of a sudden.

And lol why is the yellow hair guy has the same hairstyle as Amuro. Just change his hair to Amuro's and they'd be both brothers!

I even lol'd when Amuro said it maybe Hayato's fault too, but it's everyone!!

Singling out Hayato XD

And what the hell, your NOW asking advice Bright even though you never once listened to him :P

At least Sayla is more realistic since all they can do is fight in the middle of war.

Oh well i expect more deaths soon.

Can't wait to reach Zeta Gundam though. Heard that season is full of deaths X__X

I wouldn't have minded as much if they had mourned the deaths of all the other crew members in the last episode. I don't mind that it was dramatic, but was a bit overboard.

It still made for a pretty good heroic sacrifice.

Things seem to be getting more and more desperate for the White Base. They'll need outside assistance soon at the current rate.

Now we all know that Bright is an asshole. He's treating Amuro like a shit because he's insecure. He can't accept the fact that Amuro saved their asses multiple times.

Ryu's sacrifice was unwise imo. There must be another way to destroy that plane.

Yeah Bright was heavily relying on Amuro to bail them out due to his inexperience as a Captain but never took into account the things Amuro was going through and I think after this encounter with Ral he didn't want to fight anymore, he didn't want to kill people(did the bright slap happen before this? cant remember because he says this)
All his slapping around was a display of inxperience since he had no idea how to defend white base, people think his slapping Amuro 'corrected' him but it wasn't the only reason why Amuro went back into the Gundam was because of his rivalry with Char.

He does improve as a leader but its more like he becomes such a staple of the universal centurary as a whole, hes also one of the most human feeling characters in the franchise

Ryu's deathflag where everywhere this episode so it was obvious he was going to die.

Didn't die in vain though since he saved the White Base.

But can't say I felt anything over his death tbch,and the mourning scene was a bit over the top with the whole crew crying.

Ryu and Hamon both gone in one blaze of flame?!?!

I was sick of Ryu after all his bullying of people last episode but he went out with great strength and I realize now his bullying was because the discord onboard the White Base had gotten so bad and it hurt him to see his friends fighting.

I loved seeing Hamon talk to each soldier before the battle and to hear her eulogy to Ral in her head. She was a mature and cool character just like Ral, I'll miss them both.

The events that happened now, in addition to having a certain epic quality, will be crucial in the future, I have the feeling, both on the growth of the characters but not all. The demise of a character, albeit secondary, but not marginal, poses many questions and unknowns, the situation becomes addictive, Yay!
Not bad combat, Amuro always stands out, which is in battle and beyond.

RIP Hamon, she was a good character.

Bright has lost control of the crew, though I always have to remember that he's only 19. Ryu's death was tragic, and I'm glad that Bright at least mentioned that other people of White Base died the previous episode. I wonder how long they can keep this up because all their equipment is falling apart.

As a lot of people have already pointed out, they sure as fuck a lot more affected by Ryu death than all the other guys in the last episode. And yeah that was a bit of an oversight on the writer to me. Would have worked better if they kept their stoic demeanour but with depressed looks on their faces. To show more how drained they are as well sick and downright indifferent towards death they becoming.

But have Bright break down, more to do with the weight of his inexperience coming down on him. As this whole series up to now for them has been a complete disaster as they’re not trained for this.

The only other problem I have is the bomb; it seems like they were going use that blow up the whole white base. So all they had to do is get it close enough and blow it up. Which seemed like it was, so could not have shoot it and more or less destroy white base? Yeah seem like a waste of time shooting the Gundam.
