Frito said: Veronin said: breaking news!Saji is retarded. saji is retarded! im kidding man, retarded is too harsh i mean he knows what he was doing all along just didn't realize the consequences. Well, not really retarded, but that was indeed really stupid of him. |

Veronin said: Well, not really retarded, but that was indeed really stupid of him. Why? That was very human of him. You loose your life, you get a chance to get it back, you grab it. Personal interests always come before group interests, thus Saji did what anyone out there would have done in his situation. What makes Sajia great character is that he actually feels guilty for that, while most of us, would just brash the guilt away on the soldier who overheard, or ALAWS, or the guy who gave the orders. |

ntHai said: he was neutral last season, why be neutral again if you can make a bigger difference.Another great episode. Good thing people like Sergei or Mr.Bushido start to realize that A-LAWS are fags. I see Saji joining Celestial Beings. Or he might become a neutral side of the story as well. |
| I ve always thought that the authors wanted to express a war criticism through showing how war effects the life of average neutral people like Saji or Luise. Now that Luise has joined A-LAWS Saji is the only one left. But Saji joining CB and facing Luise later would also be an interesting story |
ntHai said: do we really need love in the middle of this war? here's my honest opinion, we do! it sounds cheesy but it's an essential part of a story and will engage us even further. although sunrise always deny me of a good love story nowadays(sorry seed/seed destiny).I ve always thought that the authors wanted to express a war criticism through showing how war effects the life of average neutral people like Saji or Luise.

| Mr.Bushido only wants to fight Exia XD What Saji did was expected, I don't know how they didn't see it coming ... Why did anyone think that Saji is going to stay with Cataron - another amateur mistake from both sides (CB and Cataron). |

Fai said: True... it's totally understandable what he did... he lost everything and was just trying to get things back to normal (the same that any of us would do, actually). He had no interest in the conflicts between CB and A-Laws. He just wanted his life back.Veronin said: Well, not really retarded, but that was indeed really stupid of him. Why?

What makes Sajia great character is that he actually feels guilty for that, while most of us, would just brash the guilt away on the soldier who overheard, or ALAWS, or the guy who gave the orders. And I could be angry about what he did, but after seeing him feel so guilty about what happened (even if that was not all his fault), I started to like him more. o.o I can't wait for the next episode >.<' |

That's an obvious move after all the trouble the authors went through with Saji. Even if he wouldn't join CB (he could even join CB without piloting a Gundam, but as a regular support staff - he has some engineering abilities as we know), a confrontation with Louise later on is pretty obvious. |

Doesn't matter why they let him stay with Kataron, Saji's reaction (escaping from Kataron) was predictable but nobody payed attention to it. Especially Klaus should think of him as someone who could jeopardize Kataron's security. |
| Well, Saji is a class A moron. Enough said. |
| Great ep, overall. I was a little surprised that Saji hadn't really warmed up to either Celestial Being or Cataron yet, but I guess that's actually much more realistic. Someone will his beliefs as firmly entrenched as him is going to take a while to change. And hooray for the return of Serches. Seriously, wondering where he'd gotten off to was bugging me something fierce. |

| i dont think they'll join cb instead they will hate them for the assault |

Kakkou-kun said: Saiji just didn't know the consequences of his actions. He's never been in a war, so I can't really blame him for running away. Curious how he's going to face them now. Will he confess and say something like "Oops, sorry! Didn't know that was going to happen." I wonder Kataron would react. This definitely has to result in some kind of action from his side. Will he stay a pacifist? How will he bear the error, that ended up with a whole lot of people killed?!? Will he atone for it? !?! Oh so many questions and it's still quite a long time till' the next episode! Kataron will be pissed off anyway. Think about it - CB appears at their base, then they suddenly disappear from their base, then A-LAWS suddenly sweep their base clean. Who you gonna suspect? Saji, I think, will surely say the truth and I see division of arguments happening there - some of CB will think what happened was a pure accident and Saji is not at fault for the extermination of A-LAWS, others will think that Saji had some fault at that, but he can redeem himself. While others(like Lyle) will surely blame him for a long long time. Now if Saji actually confesses and joins CB, I foresee a lot of interesting stand downs between him and Lyle. In Tomino's old Null-Gravity-Punch-Around way. |

I must agree. Although I hate cheesy love stories in movies, I just miss them when they are not in anime. And SetsunaxMarina is just not interesting for me, their "love" is just too cold. I hope Louise and Saji wilget more time together. I hoper for LockonxFeldt before, but he died, and "new" Lockon, well, it just wouldn't be right. "New" Lockon himself told something like that. |

| Commencing laughing at the people who were surprised by Ali's appearance in 3... 2... 1... Laughing. Seriously, we were shown Ali alive already in the end of the first season, no reason to be so shocked now. |
 |
| ah saiji you poor bastard. u just made things worst. i find him a bit.....useless? Hahahah!!! Why can't that Ali guy die I mean Lockon 1 died in tat battle. |
 |
geezer said: DinaraC said: ah saiji you poor bastard. u just made things worst. i find him a bit.....useless? Hahahah!!! Why can't that Ali guy die I mean Lockon 1 died in tat battle. Well. Not everyone can be a guerilla like Setsuna or Ali. The world has "normal", more careful and "unuseful" people, too, you know? I doubt that any of us here will prove to be of use in a real war. Plus, the fact that the base got eliminated isn't entirely Saji's fault- he was just acting like a human instead of a "superhuman". People who blame and bash Saji for episode 5 prove to lack understanding for human nature and its weaknesses. I totally agree. Remember Saji is just a civilian... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| dam you saji. your ignorance cause them their life!! i hope they wont continue to own the A laws... geeezz how i hate that commander that said order's the top are absolute.. his hair is like a freaking coconut! |
| |
| They had to have Saji do something that'd have extreme consequences to have him come to terms with why and how Celestial Being (Setsuna specifically) do what they do, and continue as they do. At the very least, he'll probably stop whining at Setsuna, and amen to that. |
   |
| well this explains why cataran had mobile suits, they were all ancient obsolete models, no way they could win against those Aheads(very funny name for a terrifying model), and saji feels responsible for what happened. and only at the end do we find out why it was called "buring homeland", that terrorist dude is back, but how did he know what setsuna said? did he just think someone would say something like that |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Stupid Saji crossroad hate him cos of this ep he was being a douchebag before but this is just ahh oh well he will probs join CB now hope he is useful if he does join :) |
 |
| saji, you are way too naive |
| Revive Revival? Bring? Ribbons? WTH is up with the Innovators' names? Saji has always annoyed me, but now I downright hate him. And why is Ali still alive? That guy NEVER seems to die. Oh, and it's great to see Tieria attempting to joke around. |
     |
| Ali-al-Bastard shows up again with another one of his bastardious acts :/ I hate you, man... |
| OMg fucking naief Saji !!! |
shadowsword said: Ali-al-Bastard Hehehe love it! S2 does not disappoint! |
| I know he's a heartless monster but still, I let out a small cheer when the glory that is Ali Al-Saachez showed up at the end doing what he does best: genocide. |

mingling with each other are the flames of red and blue |
| Ah. I love when the characters who have depth to them go un loved. It's funny that they are the same people who throw out the gay jokes at our beloved Tieria instead of going. "HOLY FUCK CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT." |
| My hate for Saji has grown considerably larger than before. Like seriously, he is the most useless character in the series. He can't even be compared to an toilet bowl. At least toilets can take shit and not complain about it. He should grow some balls and get punched in the face or something. Anything that would sort his dumb brain out. Really, I don't care at all if he decides to join the A-LAWS or even become an middle eastern man whore, just get your shit sorted man, you had 5 episodes to do that, but you still continue to bitch about everything. Rant done. Btw, series is going pretty great so far, def getting me hooked. |
 |
| Oh no! I think I'm starting to like this Peries... Why can't she just leave A-Laws and join Celestial Being? If everything will be like that, I feel like she won't made it to the end... No comments on Saji, I lost any hopes for him long ago, when he left Louise alone. |

He needed to see that. i agree, Saji was just thinking for him self thinking anyone who's involved with the gundams are evi, but now that hes seen what the A laws have done because of him, im sure he'll open his eyes more, but dont get me wrong hes still an annoying lil ass |
| I dislike lelouch vi Britannia. im a shiki supporter my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR90F0rzcss4CsrAbkZXTkg/featured?view_as=subscriber Just past the 1500th Mark bitches I approve this video http://youtu.be/U_0CCLxibFk |
| Saji. I hope you will shut up from now on. |
| This episode was just plain stupid. I don't know what having robots do your killing for you somehow causes it to be so morally wrong. That base was a fortress. I'm sure it would cost hundreds of lives to take it and I imagine Catheron would fight to the death so the result would be the same. What pissed me off the most was the fact that Catheron would have children in their military base. While A-Laws have done many morally reprehensible things, attacking this base was not. The base was a legitimate military target filled with enemy combatants in an isolated place far away from other civilians. I imagine Catheron could set up orphanages that are away from their military bases. |
| Saji needs to wake up. The world does not revolve around you my friend, stop whining and join Celestial Being like you are supposed to already. Looks like not all Katalon forces were destroyed though, I just hope the kids are alright. Azadistan... it was inevitable, there's no such thing as "peace" in the middle east. |
| Let's see if Saiji wakes up from his childish naivete now. I wonder why CB and Kataron don't use the media more to exhibit what the A-Laws are like? The first season showed the possibilities of using the media rather well. Sergei is a cool guy adopting Soma. I wonder what his son will think about that though? |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Kati and Soma aren't liking A-Laws so much... Saji gets his lesson... the hard way. Now he can't act all innocent anymore. |
  |
| This episode increased my respect for Sergei immensely. I mean, I already liked him before, but now he's simply awesome. He's just a really respectable dude, just like most of the "antagonists" of season 1 were. Same with Soma, though to a lesser extent. It's cool to see her getting some development now. This new season is introducing some really scummy characters, and I'm not sure if I like that. It seemed better when the fights between the Gundams and the Union/AEU/HRL didn't appear like a fight of objective good and evil, but rather like a clash of two opposing forces where no one could say which one was truly just. Hopefully Saji joins CB after seeing the ruthlessness A-LAWS is capable of. How amazing would it be to see Saji and Louise working on opposite sides and ultimately fighting each other? Bloody amazing, that's how amazing. |
