| Bright cried like a little bitch. I laughed. |

| 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 |

| a little unintentionally funny this ep but it was still quite good, though that mourning scene was way too over the top. |

Alas86 said: 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... 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. |
| RIP Ryu? Nah, more like RIP Hamon. I really don't care for anyone on the White Base other than Sayla. |
 |
| 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 |
| R.I.P Ryu. I got a bit sad when they were all mourning and than instantly started laughing when Amuro yelled and it echoed and panned to a shot of the sun for no reason. |

| Man, last episode it was Ramba Ral, and now they kill of Ryu? They're killing off all of my favorite characters! Why couldn't that asshole Kai get killed instead? |

| And there goes one of the few good characters in the anime... Ryu, why didn't you eject?! |

| RIP Ryu |
 |
| 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. |

blessofcurse said: 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)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. 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 lacks leadership at the moment, but Im expecting that he will redeem himself. |

blessofcurse said: 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 franchiseHe lacks leadership at the moment, but Im expecting that he will redeem himself. |

| 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. |
| Ummm....ahhh...these salty tears are delicious so keep them coming. Personally i'm just glad that there's one less twerp. |
| 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. |
 |
| Finally someone called out Bright on being an idiot. Speaking of idiots...RYU you BAMF!!! You will be missed. |
 |
| Damn Ryu sure saved day :/ his Kamikaze attack sure worked but damn quite a sad loss as well as Hamon and while she was the enemy she sure was an interesting character to be honest. A pretty solid yet sad episode I must say! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Damn, it seems that we got the first major death of the series! That was sad :/ |
| 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. Amuro Ray Kill Count: 1 Zaku kill this episode 20 kills total |
| I knew he was gonna get wasted sooner or later, considering how this show goes about pretty much any of its characters' lives. As much as I hated see Ryu go, that sequence with everybody crying was way too hilarious. |
| A bit overdramatic at the end,but still good. R.I.P. Hero! |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| RYU SAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
 |
| Ryu didn't have to die, he could've just shot the other jet fighter... This episode's pretty great because it shows how war can affect people and how the need to end it. |
 |
| God damn it, I can't believe Hayato killed Ryu. What an asshole. |
 |
| No idea how the last scene was hilarious but... really gonna miss Ryu-san. He needed more screentime to be honest. I swear, in every episode, White Base has fought relentlessly without ever resting one single episode. Ramba Ral an Hamon were great side characters, but I really hope the crew gets at least one episode to rest. |
| "Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum. They should really do their whining at manga forums." Stolen from Janethan23. Add in visual novel readers too |
| it was pretty obvious that ryu was about to die they was setting it up for the past few ep so not even surprised but with this it'll make them all stronger it was the push they needed and im sure its about to show |
| "one step at a time" |
| Was shocked to see Brighto San cry like a baby. lol |
| Everyone's reactions to Ryu's death at the end were so funny |
 |
| I had a feeling it may be Ryu's time to go. He died as a messenger. Bringing together the crew once more, attempting to connect Amuro and Bright, and sacrificing himself in one brief moment. This is the third time I got teary eyed, there was a sense of shock when Ryu drove his plane into the other. The loss of Ryu ended up overshadowing the amazing display of combat Amuro showed, but I do want to mention him tossing the Zaku, shooting the engine, it was very cool too. Something I like is how Bright has been characterized. He can be a real hard-ass, it was my first thought when we really got to know him. He has a strong sense of justice, he has guts, and he has good intentions but the way he can command others to get what he wants can make Kikka cry, or distance Amuro from the crew. He's not perfect by any means, as Ryu said, he views Amuro as a tiger. He's locking him up, he's not trying to understand him or talk to him. Although being a hard-ass may be really damn important as a military commander, it may not be the way to treat a child soldier. Everyone has some growing to do. Bright crying and asking Ryu to forgive him for letting this happen was a good breaking point which showed the burden he carries once more. It seems that this moment represents a serious loss the crew needed to come together, and to prevent something like this happening again. There is a painful message to see in-between the lines however. Just earlier, Hamon named numerous of her soldiers as they all resolved themselves for death. The soldiers on the other side are named for a reason, they are all somebody's Ryu. That funeral scene we saw, is something that the White Base has caused many people to go through. And I think it is quite notable that the cycle of war or hatred continues to be a recurrent notion. To get revenge for Garma, Ramba Ral was sent, to get revenge for Ramba Ral, Hamon went on a suicide mission. It is bleak. |
| first of all RIP Hamon and Ryu, truly a sad episode. I don't think anyone cares but I live in the yellow circle I draw on the map from the beginning, damn it.  |
    |
| As I expected from the last episode, Ryu died. A bit exaggerated reaction at the end but for a side character, it was not so bad. Hamon feels with more personality and her death was harder to watch. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| What started as a sort of retread of Icelina's attempted vengeance of Char revealed a sort of suicidal attack by Ramba Ral's troops and, sadly, Ryu's death. It seems that the others have a lot of growing up to do. I am also curious if Ryu perhaps predicted his fate. |
| Hopefully with Ryu's death Amuro will grow up a bit more and so will everyone else on White Base. That was an amazing episode |
| R.I.P. Ryu. He dies for a good cause, because I'm Sure He brought the crew together with his sacrifice. And saved the whole base ofc, lol. I noticed how the oldest comments in this board are always the most heartless. Kinda funny. Also surprised to see that so many people think Bright is totally heartless. Dude is clearly trying to act tough because he's the leader and it's his job. Also R.I.P. to Hamon. Nice try in avenging your loved one. It almost worked out, the plan wasn't bad. Characters are dying like crazy lately. |

| kind of a ridiculous death scene but whatever lol |
| If White Base is one of the Federation's most advanced ships and also has the Gundam why is it manned by kids, an incompetent ensign, gets zero supplies and such little orders? It's always so cool to see the Gundam modules connect in air. Absolutely heartbreaking about Ryu. |
