Noone that was there could have in any way beaten Kira in Freedom.

Despite the warning from Kira so many people died...I really don't want to think of this as an Earth Forces' win cuz their commanders are all such assholes. Hopefully Le Klueze has something in mind.

Anyone know the name of the song when Kira shows up in Freedom and kicks everyone's ass? I can't find the name of it anywhere.

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.

Heh, I really think the ZAFT commanders are just as idiotic and racist (Athrun's dad and Cruset included)

As for why everyone didn't retreat, the warning came too late and some didn't believe Kira.

Kira to the rescue! His new gundam is OP. The ability to shoot down like 50+ enemies at once? Damn, ZAFT wasn't kidding around when they built that monster. At this point I've just fallen into disbelief.

How can Earth Forces superior officers murder their own men? And from what I gather the use of a Cyclops is taboo in the first place. I find it hard to sympathize with them especially since they're the ones that initiated the Bloody Valentines tragedy.

Kira is godlike in his new ride.

The leadership on both sides is a bunch of worthless fanatics (not Lacus's dad though).

I would just defect or ask for asylum to Orb. They seem to have a much better government/society over there.

Episode addictive, my suspicions about a possible surprise tactic of Natural against ZAFT, has been confirmed, although I never imagined it would come to that.
Too cool to the entry into the field of Freedom, however also the battle was nice to follow.
PV interesting.
Beautiful management of the characters of the Archangel, the moment when the Mobil Suit was going to kill them, represented well their characters.
The atmosphere that reigned during the narration is superb at times.
I like more and more the new opening.

This episode was fucking awesome.
Kira shows up and kicks some ass in his badass new Freedom.
Plus the music was epic.

Also, it was cool seeing people implode, especially the first guy in his cockpit.

Best episode yet! I didn't see it coming. I think that some ZAFT and Federation moderate people will gather with Orb and be the good guys.

This reminded me the tragedy of Jaburo from Zeta Gundam. This time the Federation did the wrong thing though.

Did everyone notice how they changed Athrun for Kira in the eyecath? Quite symbolic, isn't it?

an intensely awesome episode, the leaders are truly horrendous people, a sacrifice like this is really cruel.
