You know, it was bad enough that they inexplicably brought back the ridiculously-named Four, but to kill her off again!? Newtypes just cant catch a break, can they?

It's a ridiculous name, but at least there's a reason behind it (She's the fourth subject at the Murasume Newtype lab), unlike some of the other names in the series.

It may be a ridiculous name for people who talk english, but to the japanese ear, maybe it doesn't sound that ridiculous, maybe you don't know it but, "Quattro" actually means Four in Portuguese, I guess it doesn't sound ridiculous cos you're not hearing a number, you're just hearing a strange name. To the japanese ear Four is just a strange name.

I liked her character, this episode was sad.

Man, what a kickass kick the the face by Kamille.

And then what a kick to Kamille's face.
They bring her back just to kill her again.
So not cool.

Yeah, to me even Quattro sounds ridiculous since I can speak spanish (quatro, same pronunciation), but I understand that it might not be so silly to a Japanese. It'd be like someone named "arba’a". Surprise, it means 4 in arabic!

Man, Jerid just pops up everywhere, doesn't he?

Due to the writers capabilities, I figured either Four or Fa would have to die. And then I betted on the later since they already pulled the same developments with Lalah. Not only I guessed it right, but I did it twice.

Kamille telling Char that he had to own up to being Char seemed to come out of nowhere and make no sense to me. There were plenty of other times where it could have made more sense, but it just felt completely out of place in the final scene.

Geez, this episode solidified my disappointment: Zeta Gundam is a typically soap opera but set in space. Some of you may question why it took me this long to realize it, but hey, at least I finally did.

Forced drama and characterization in the second half, while I thought the first half did a very good job at creating an atmosphere of subtle suspense and intrigue: that seems to be the trend I've noticed for the many other stories I found disappointing.

Yeah, once I knew the jumbled mess that is the English language, I've been more lenient on the oddities of language in general. Four or Quattro is no less a strange name to me than Lily, Sakura, Summer, Crystal, Grit, Kasumi, Misty... Hell, name someone Country or Kuni and I wouldn't be surprised as Quoc is a fairly popular Vietnamese name that means just that.

Four's death was not unexpected.
Kamillle is such a frustrating character. He has his moments but his still bratty, reckless, and annoying.
It's painful that Amuro and Chat have to deal with a character like that.

This episode (and the some of the last) was completely pointless. What's the point of bringing back a character only to kill them again while not adding anything of interest to her character? All this episode did was retread the same old crap they did before AND in MSG. Was it really necessary for Four to become Lalah 2.0 for no reason? If so, why can't this show be about Amuro and Char again?

Plus, will this show kill off Jerid already? He's so pathetic that it's embarrassing to watch him.

On a good note, we need more people bitch slapping Kamille. Four's "Bitch move" slap was the best scene I've seen in Zeta in a long time.

I like how Jerid keeps on trying to kill Kamille, but never succeeds. xD

This time Kamille kicked him off the cliff.

Meh, Four's death didn't really touch me.

I find it silly how easy it is to infiltrate to a top secret Titan research lab. Just wear a Titan coat and you have a free pass.

Another Tragic episode :(

Woo at least they showed Four's naked body :)

She's soo beautiful!

It seems drugs are suppressing the pain inside her head. Of course the Four character archetype will be used by future Gundam series like Seed's Stella and 00's Louise.

Damn Jerid is pissed for not only who lost two lovers(Milla Rira and Mouar), so of course he wants some revenge.

To be honest i actually thought they would pull a Gundam Seed Destiny on this one since



Seems Four can actually put mental pressure on other Newtypes like Char. So She is a Cyber-Newtype, genetically engineered to surpass real Newtypes.

I do not like how they reintroduce Four in the last episode, only to be get killed in the next one. Wtf Tomino-san!?!

I do agree that Four became Lalah 2.0. Underdeveloped and killed instantly. Seriously i was hoping they would expand her story, how she grew up and ended with titans.

Even Lalah upon first time showing her felt like she was gonna be something special, but get's killed by Amuro out of nowhere.

Char warned Kamille about this, but he never listened. Kamille has to learn it the hard way :

Seems Amuro feared the worst. History repeats itself. Only thing people can do is to learn it and try not to make it again as possible.

And yeah Kamille saying he's gonna call him Char from now on kinda doesn't make any sense. It's not like Char showed him that he's back on his usual self.

Oh well i do feel the lost of Four though. Let's hope Kamille actually learns something here and move on forward.

Can't wait for the next episode though!!

This x4. He could've literally said that any other time. Just... Why the fuck now?

Also, did Four just fucking die again? And in the exact same trippy, stupid ass manner as a certain underdevelopped Newtype woman from 0079? Good Lord.

In the end Four was just a copy of Lalah... and I now that they will create a clone of Four (Stella)... and from what I've heard there are more like her...

Originality is not one of the strong points of this franchise.

I thought Kamille saying he would call him Char was down to the fact that Char took some very pragmatic actions in these fights and encouraged Kamille to actively attack the woman he loved because it was war. Kamille saw that as a betrayal of the "father figure" he'd built Quattro up to be.

So predictable -_- I would have liked a change on the Lalah's schema, where the NT girl survives.
I see everyone complains and says Lalah's case was already not good. So it makes sense I loved this "variation" since I liked the original (from The Origin and movies trilogy). Plus it is interessant for the reactions it triggers in Amuro and Char.
Even if it was "childish", "annoying", etc... I am glad Kamille never losed his will to save her. What would the opposite make him look like, seriously? I'm sure he would have been the target of as much criticism.
My appreciation of Jerid as a person is even lower than before. His persistence is one of the causes here.
"I will be able to see you whenever I want." Oh... how disappointing, she doesn't see the time like Lalah.

I was also impressed when I saw this psychic attack on Char.
I forgot, but how the hell did Four land away from her robot when only the head was severed? o_o

5/5

I have to ask, why in the blue moon did author bring back Four if she was gonna bite the dust again??? I said this because the first time it was for a good cause (getting MC into space) and this time not only did this decision to bring her back negated her sacrifice it also diminish her as a character because the first time she died she was a better person (decided to move on) the second time she was a broken doll *Sigh*

This episode has some really good moments hidden by how stupid it all was. Jerid was a walking plot device who appeared wherever it was most inconvenient in spite of his injuries. Four has superhuman strength by being able to lift Kamille with one hand, she teleports out of the Psycho Gundam somehow once it lost its head, and even though her gundam was destroyed in a manner that caused no damage to the pilot, she somehow dies of what I'm assuming is a broken heart.

Fours death was such a throwback to 0079 MSG. In the original, Amuro killed Lalah, and now in this Jerid kills Kamilles love interest. New types are so unlucky. I feel like all newtypes are going to be met with demise. Char definitely felt Kamilles pain, especially since Char lost his very own New Type love interest in 0079 MSG.

Yay, Kamille just sneaked into the base without security and of course he found Four because why not! Maybe his Titan suit has something to do with it. And what next? Ah, a can of Cola. I'd totally behave the same.

The profile of Four said that she was born in...0071? So she's 15 now, even younger then Kamille? Oh.

When Kamille and Four escaped from Jerid, they had 2 guns, yet when they faced him outside, they had none? And Jerid just didn't shoot almost point blank? Damn I'm so picky.

Just when we were told that Four becomes uncontrollable because of the experiments in the lab, she just suddenly "awakens" her powers in the middle of nowhere. Why?

Jerid finally killed somebody in battle, and it was Four, and then he just...disappeared. Damn. I didn't really think that the cockpit was inside Psyco Gundam's head. It's usually inside the body. Or was it not a cockpit and Jerid hit some sort of psychic computer that damaged Four's brain so much that she died?
Char and Amuro remembered Lalah, how couldn't they? I also remembered her because she's so similar in her fate. Even the post-death magic stuff is the same.

I also noticed that in this episode some really weird lighting effects were used (especially during the psychic shenanigans), almost as if they were real.

Finally, "Quattro" has no choice but return to being called Char, because Kamille said it. Okay!

I'm really torn about this episode. On the one hand, I really like Kamille and Four, so I was excited for them to continue with that plot line. On the other...they didn't do anything with it.

Also,

Why tf did Kamille say that to Char at the end? x8

At first I thought it was a sign of Kamille losing respect for him, but the very next episode made me realize that wasn't the case (and also solidified me thinking that they brought Four back for no reason)

I'm really starting to question why this particular Gundam is so highly praised.

Really feels like there will be a final showdown between Kamille and Jerid. They now each killed their rivals love interest.
And even though Four's reappearance was short, it was still beautiful and so sad at the same time.

I hope that Kamille will not break over this loss and use it to become an even better pilot/soldier.

And interesting to see what will happen if Char finally declares his true identity. I mean most of the cast already knows it, but not the broader factions and world.
