What a great episode, Gato makes his move and the war is in.

Edit: There is no Char, I thought I'd seen a cameo of his, but it was just a similar character. My mistake.

I noticed Haman Karn, but Char... ? When did he appear?

What the hell.
-.-


How do the feddies have like a hundred times more ships then they did in the one year war?
Even Zeon seemed to have more ships then they did near the end of the war.

Really huge animation oversights I think. Really ruined this episode for me...

They've built more maybe (new ones + already existed ones) ? x)

Haman~~~!!

Is that blonde guy really Char? I think his voice is too different, and he's with Zeon.

Solomon = Konpei island? (sigh) I have trouble keeping up with a few things

NUKE! ><

I know that Gato is supposed to be a badass mofo, and the Feddies a bunch of incompetent pricks. But it's hard to believe he's that badass, or that they're that incompetent, to the point that such plan worked.

Nice episode, nevertheless.

...uh, what? Why?

Finally Haman *-* hope she appears more often! Maybe this series will explain how Axis was able to maintain its force as it appeared in Zeta Gundam.

Well, that was a nice episode! This show should focus more on Gato and the Zeon Fleet than... Uraki and Nina...

Sad to say, I was cheering for Gato a bit in the end since his passion is so strong. He's turning out to be more interesting than Uraki.

Amazing episode!

Gato finally did it!! After 3 years of humiliation, he finally succeeded! Of course this is just a step towards the Operation Stardust.

Yeah at first when i saw the blond guy on purple suit, i thought it was a new character. Turns out it was Gato himself :O

He looks badass!!! Funny thing he looks like Liquid Snake from Metal Gear Solid Series which Akio Otsuka is known for as Solid Snake :)

Haman showed up!!! This is why Zeon would have been more powerful if Haman and Gato joined forces. That's why i think this show should have taken place after ZZ since it doesn't make sense how Gato has a powerful weapon that can change the course of the world without Haman knowing or doing anything about it.

I kinda didn't like how Kou was acting a bit aggressive towards Nina. I understand your in a huge stress in a life or death situations, but at least show some caring to Nina since she has been helping you build the Gundam much better and improved your skill while your at it.

Good stuff. Last 4 episodes. Can't wait for the next one!!

LOL people mistaking Gato for Char, that reminds me of when I thought that the one dude that was crushing on Roux who shows up in one of the Earth episodes in ZZ Gundam .. I thought was Char for a few minutes because the likeness was absolutely there.. sigh .

So the Nuke got used a little earlier than I thought. Funny how it gets used right on these high ranking Feds that were not taking the Zeon attack seriously this whole anime .

Damn this show getting darker with each episode, Burning died last episode and now a huge fleet of ships gets nuked oh wow.

The nuclear strike in the middle of the "non-believers". I hope the casualties will make them open their eyes, those high-ranks were so unbelievable (like if the 1YW entirety was a glorious success and blinded them).

My favourite moment was the one in this secret Zeon fortress (Axis). It gives me a very bad opinion about this Dezlar admiral: he is such a pride loner he is jeopardizing the rebuilt of the Zeon forces remnants by sacrificing his men, ships and a Gundam (!! seriously, Zeon has a nuclear strike Gundam, they should not exhibite it like a toy), when he could have supported the others effort by playing as a team. Strangely enough, he is not a Zabi but he suffers the same problem.
About the Axis base, now that I know how they hide themselves, it is easier to accept they were not discovered (after all space must be hard to thoroughly watch). But... how could they manage to built this thing after the war without being spotted? O_o
Special mention to the purple haired girl, she caught my interest without doing anything. ^^" (might rememberme of some more recent character, maybe Noir's Chloé)

4/5 Less than three days until the Operation and I still can't figure an inch of what it is. Pretty nerving, those military secrets.


@St0rmblade I am sorry (or am I, actually?) to have to tell you that you will need ZZ to get more from Haman Kahn.
PS: truth be told, every Gundam watcher needs a bit of ZZ in their life.

A naval review does indeed make for a lovely target for a single nuclear strike. The Federation's arrogance was disgusting, which led to the loss of thousands of lives as well as destruction of valuable equipment. What goes around comes around, I guess.

After the previous episode here's an equally interesting; we can say that the series is in full crescendo. The narration is calm in the rhythm, but full of suspense and anxiety. Very realistic battle that once again demonstrates his great talent with a view to fighting choreography. To underline the symbolism and the sought dialogue, aimed at making together with the drawings, the really exciting atmosphere, but not pretentious.

Good episode, I appreciate Haman's cameo :3 I hope it'll be more than a cameo though.
Axis doesn't seem to have a very good synch with Delaz, but they're working together after all. It's really on the outskirts though (near Jupiter).
There was mostly action in this episode, made me appreciate the importance of space debris in warfare more.

I didn't expect Gato to succeed, but it's more interesting that way. It was pretty uncommon for the creators of the show to let the bad guy do his thing.

I'm rooting for the Zeon's forces in this episode. Good job Gato.

Haman-sama banzai! Her brief appearance made the episode worth watching. I liked the serious tone, when they stopped goofing off it got better. The naval review looks really pompous and unnecessary, good thing that Gato blew them up lol. Monsha maiming and beating up that prisoner really looked too cruel, he's more messed up than I thought.

Lol, people in this thread actually cheering for a fascist nuking innocent men because his racial supremacist empire that murdered billions of civilians was defeated. Zero media literacy. Guy is cool = Gotta root for him. Context? Who needs context? Cool guy make big boom with flashy lights. *clapclapclap'

Its really funny.
