So Four ended up sacrificing herself to get Kamille a chance to go to space.... Great episode was this, quite intense but I feel sorry for Four~
But for God's sake, Beltorchika is really pissing me off now, she is so selfish~ She needs to get slapped~

I didn't expect Four to die so soon *_* and by sacrificing herself? That's so much like what happened with Lalah

Loving the show more and more with each episode
but the war strategies aren't very well explained like in Gundam79 ne?

That's some seriously wasted potential if Four just died like that. But, I find it doubtful, considering how much she is on promotional materials and all.

Well, Lalah was also in a lot of promotional materials and even in the cover of the series, and look how she ended up.

Oh man. When I saw Bright at the end there:


Char will be back soon, I just know it! I can't wait for more Lieutenant Quattro.

:s I knew Four was condemned to death whenever she and Kamille started that frontline romance stuff. Oh, Gundam. I found her to be an interesting character most of the time, too, unlike most random characters who are introduced and die within an episode or two. D: I hope she didn't die somehow, but it isn't likely.

Not surprised Four ended up dead. She was starting to become a good female character and you know we can't have that.

Beltorchika... ugh. I'm hoping they throw her out into the ocean so we don't have to listen to her anymore. I never thought there would be something who is more whiny than Kamille.

Since Amuro is stuck on Earth, I'm guessing we won't see him again until it's all over? That'll suck since he barely did anything worthwhile. And what's with the fights in Zeta? They're so toned down from 0079.

Another amazing episode!!

Oh come on Beltorchika!! I thought Mirai already gave you advice by stop acting like a babysister?!?! Kinda funny how she mentions she's not a babysister of Kamille yet she's okay being by Amuro.

Those Earth Federation are crazy for trying to ram it to Audhamla.

Kamille vs Four!! To be honest i don't even know why Kamille shared his past to Four? Maybe she can have a piece of his past as well?? But i was surprise when she pulled a gun on him O__O Pretty crazy!!

So Kamille made it to space!!! I really doubt Four died since they didn't made it dramatic like Lalah and Amuro's talking in space.

But if she's dead then RIP T__T

Finally Bright and Emma!!! It's been a long time since i saw Emma!! I hope she's not crazy like what she did during the operation to attack Jaburo. Shame she didn't speak nor Kamille said hi to her "(

Can't wait for the next episode!!!

Another slap, and Four pulling a Lalah on us. A shame, considering I sort of liked the character, all gundam romance bullshit aside ofc.

"A woman's selfishness will cost a man's life." Pretty much sums up Beltor's case if you ask me. And this, right here, is why I love Kamille Bidan. seriously though, that quote is hilarious

Can't wait to see Char again.

Wow what an episode.

I do find it lame how on Gundam the enemy keeps losing it's top "new types" and new "mecha" to love situations. -_-

Good thing they seem to have a new mecha/Gundam? already... Even though from what I seen, seems to be another female. -_-

Never thought Gundam would involve so much love stuff. I thought it was mostly a macross thing.

Why did he just drop the booster? Or did it happen automatically? I don't understand just dropping it like that.

Kamille is so similar to Amuro in a lot of ways. I wonder if that shot is going to prevent Amuro from fighting...

Yeah, Beltorchika has grown more and more annoying as time passes. She's outright stalking Amuro and meddling in everything to do with him now. Ugh. That's the kind of woman most guys would run from.

I'm not sure if Four is dead, but it's certainly possible given the sudden romance.

So, now what?

Great episode, the surprise sacrifice was surprisingly sad, honestly though Four caused so much death and destruction for selfish reasons, that she would have been hard to accept as a reformed character.

I also liked all the Titan officers willing to go down with the ship, a rare moment of Titan heroism.

An episode that was captivating but...
- Four dies: I knew she was never going to leave the Federation because of their blackmail but I was certain we would see more of her. I should have known better after Lalah Sune.
- Amuro: forever stucked on Earth, with his creepy stalker. The way he does not get in the way of the main character is great but it feels like he wasn't prominent enough when you see Quattro's role until the Argama leaves. At least, he might have left a good influence on Camille. (this boy has a lot of male models to look up to)
- And of course the greatest member of the cast, the stalker queen who could lead anyone to commit a murder: Beltorchika. Same reason as always.

The moment between the two pilots was very nice. Camille sharing his own memories then forgetting why ^^"

I love the hero's tendency to say his little sentences about life etc...

At first I thought Amuro would end up murdering Beltorchika because she was a spy. Now I am convinced he'll murder her just because.

I am going to be brutally honest. Up until this episode Zeta Gundam has failed - badly - as a drama. MSG also didn't quite hold up to other classics from the late seventies in that department, but there was more than enough compensation in the shape of intense, breakneck action and overall insanity. The White Base was undersupplied and undermanned, something was almost always broken and the crew escaped by the skin of their teeth more than once, and usually not without someone dying first. Refugees kidnapped children, left the White Base on their own and were promptly gunned down by Char. In another episode, a ceasefire was declared so the rest of the refugees could jump ship, but the White Base's crew decided not to play it straight and use the ceasefire to their advantage. It was a perpetual chase sequence that got crazier by the minute, like a low-budget, animated Fury Road.

Zeta Gundam has none of that, and with the overall writing quality decreasing and the supposedly high stakes situations feeling increasingly forced and unrealistic this series is dangerously close to being a complete train wreck. I am sure it will only improve from here, but it has to improve A LOT to even deserve a seven out of ten, and since my suspension of disbelief mostly gone by now I wonder if that is even possible.

@Lease_of_Life I think the creator actually tried to make something more personal drama-based as opposed to MSG who tend to be a "little story" inside the big story of the war (who was also depicted). Zut, I m not sure if I wrote it correctly.
Also, in Zeta, you will regularly have artificial/forced situations to trigger the weekly dosis of mecha action who makes half of each episode.

At least, be happy: you have left the zone where the nonsensical sentences and strange dialogues are concentrated.

Good to know, I guess I'll stick around (as if I'd leave a 100-episodes series past the halfway mark). Somehow managed not to read the spoiler while quoting you, by the way.

Ah, man... *salutes Four* It was nice having a decent female lead while it lasted. Thanks for everything, be sure to drop in at Build Fighters Valhalla! XD

I'd put in more for this ep, about Amuro and Beltorchika's progressively twisted relationship (how she even made it to 0096 I don't even know) and whatnot, except most of my interest has been stolen by next episode's preview:

Another daring narrative ends with a goodbye again? A little sorry, if it were true the departure of Four. Again it is spettaotri of a chain of events, flowing too fast, it does not have time to assimilate the situations, this is the usual defect, the rest is appreciable. Char you want after so many of his appearances in the first part, who knows if we will review Amuro in the future. Quite the old way the final part where Amuro incites Kamille to fly in space; he felt overwhelmingly the old style so prevalent in anime so 80's.

Beltorchika is the kind of girl who always needs to be told you like her and someone who'd go through your phone.. aka crazy bitch.

Was really enjoying this show at first.. but it's dwindling at the moment. The interactions between the characters is not making me excited.. maybe because the absences of Char..

Apparently the captain of the Fed ship decided to perform a kamikaze attack just because, wow. Well alright, at least we're moving to the next "stage" now. I was expecting Four to meat somewhat Lalah's fate, well... at least she helped Kamille, and probably mde him rethink some things about his life. I should say that Lalah's death was more emotionally impactful for me (because it was directly shown and because Char shed a tear).
Though maybe Four is not even dead after all and escaped in Psyco Gundam, so who knows. The music was too upbeat for her to die.

tbh I didnt care about four dying at all. Everything about the character felt so melodramatic, and of course the forced romance with kamille just added to that. As a whole the series is in a better place than it was 10 episodes ago where it was an absolute trainwreck, but it still has a ways to go for me before I can consider it "good".

So Four dead? Well, she has a lot of death flags before so I'm not surprised. Why is Beltorchika still alive? She's a terrible character.

Wasn't expecting Four to be killed off like that, I rather thought she'd eventually join the AEUG. Or maybe it's a fake death, since we didn't outright see her die.

Other than that, not really much to say about the episode. It was all about the battle and at the end they finally made it to space and met with Bright again. So hopefully we'll get some Char action again.

ugh i feel a little disappointed with the dead of four, she could has become a nice key in the newtype drama.

20 episode and we lost Lila, Rosamia and now Four with the same "plot", can we have a nice character for more time and with more development?, well with that out, the serie es good and is nice to see Char and Amuro, Kamille with the time has improve (Belto need that right now)

Fantastic episode. Lot of things.

We see a mature Kamille. "Please realize such selfishness could get a man killed! Howewer, did he do the correct thing? I guess he knows Four is dead. Maybe he dosent want to think bout her. But he asked for the other girl when he went to other ship. The moment he confess everything to Four is just wonderful. Char would have never do something similar. Or maybe yes? With Lalah.

Also Amuro didnt care at all it seemed on his feelings. Just getting the mission get by. Howewer, did he promise that to Char or who? Is that so important to him? Did he realize he needs power to achieve things, and that means he needs get to space? Weared character. I aprecciate he dosent support war at all but then he hides in himself and scapes from reality.

In the end i really liked Four. What they have done to her, maybe in a future we can see other similar models. Human experimentation.

I'd be disappointing if they decided to kill Four, just like that. It's possible of course, given the way characters come and go in this series... but Four was actually interesting and had some potential to develop even more. The show needs interesting characters like her. I don't know, perhaps we've seen the last of her - but I'm holding on to the fact that we never learned anything about her "lost memory". So... she may appear again.

But if not, I consider it a lost potential on the show's behalf.
