The brilliance of the death scene is how she was assassinated instead of being killed in action. She was also killed in her most vulnerable state. She was not killed as collateral damage and consequence of war (like most other Gundam series) but her murder was a planned and calculated move. To add to the injury she was killed when she was buying a teddy bear that reminds her of her loved one.

I have to applaud Okada for the brilliance of this episode.

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.

its a really ballsy death cause the abruptness of it is a real risky move that is made to upset. It places the viewers in the situation of the characters of thinking jasley's actions as cowardly and diwnright sickening. Some will hate how this was done and claim bad writing but frankly i applaud how it was done and think it effectively made me feel like shit afterwords.

That is unless they somehow retcon it like some people are speculating, but i just dont see how or why they would especially with how noticibly more explicit her actual death was to her fake out in s1.

OMG You know what Mr.Producer? Why not just kill everyone in one episode? Then the feels would be over... why you do this??!?!
I thought the feels were over :( Why Lafter?Why'? She was the best girl!
I thought that Lafter and Akihiro would date, they never kissed or expressed their feelings to each other, and now she is dead? Oh c'mon... :(
That moment when Mika agreed to have kids with Atra was so funny xD Atra was like "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!".
MIKAZUKI & AKIHIRO!!! PLEASE KILL THEM ALL, DESTROY THEM!!! MIKA DESTROY THEM!!!
This was just too much for me :(

R.I.P Lafter, you will be missed <3

It was a relatively quiet episode, and yet Sunrise managed to have some of its most impactful scenes yet. My stomach lurched when they cut from the scene of Jasley deciding he needed to provoke Tekkadan further to Azee and Lafter shopping. And yet for the message, I thought they'd beat them or something like that. For them to go all the way and kill Lafter... I'm still in shock.

RIP Lafter. Naze and Amida sacrificed themselves, but you were slain like a dog on the street. At the very least you are with them now, and may have full faith that Akihiro will avenge you in full force.

I was hoping Orga would say "all the way" when Mikazuki asked how far he should go. You're the king, Mikazuki. Show those under you what happens when you cross Orga and Tekkadan.

I prefer Jaslen as a villan than Iok. At least jaslen is not stupid as Iok. I think this revenge fight will be more interesting now than if they just kill Idiok.

And about Lafter's death IMO she should have died in the end of season one. Because honestly, it was impossible that Lafter, Shino and Azee would have survived with those injuries.

OH, HOW COME THAT IDIOT IOK KUJAN IS STILL ALIVE!? GOD, I WISH HE COULD DIE BY FIRE AS WELL IN HONOR TO AVENGE NAZE TURBINE.

I'm sorry, people. I can't believe why I suddenly became emotional at this point since last episode due to total whiplash until it's hard to wrap my head around the crap that goes on this show.

i don't know how to feel..they killed my girl i was naive thinking everything was gonna go fine for them, but for it all to happen so soon in the same episode caught me off guard i didn't know how to reaction..but if i wanna be honest i been worried about their lives since they first joined and was amazed how long they made it but not like this being gun down like that hits harder than dying out in battle.

Akihiro can't be happy huh? Usually, love = death

That was so incredibly cheap, and it's enough to make you angry. After Mobile Armor fight, it's really all Jasley's fault because of his mistrust for Naze.

Yeah.
And the impact, too. So.. subtle? maybe, as I was watching her with a smile because of the Teddy bear and then "Eh?" - dead.
And Sachi Kokuryu (Azee VA) just impressive, well... damn, that cry... was the last hit to my heart.


As much I may want to hold of the theory she may be just injured (very injured) as my poor kokoro wants, I don't think it would feel anymore pain if she remained as we last watched her: dead

I actually liked Jerid a lot. I'm really talking about Katz and Reccoa. Sorry if people liked them!

Lafter's death was really one of the first time in a very long time where I just felt kind of sick. The sound of the gunshots and then Azee's scream..geeze..

At first I was so sure the lady working at the store had been shot because I heard Lafter scream..I could re-watch the scene but I really don't want to.

Damn! I never expected that Lafter and Akihiro moment is a death flag... I realized Lafter might died after Jesley told his men to "man up Tekkadan". Fuck it! Iok and Jasley NEED TO DIE IN A VERY GRUESOME WAY


Amen to that. Mika kick them down to Hell.

Lafter was my fav Turbines so this sucks and this is bullshit.

See, I'd agree except idIok is still worse. Fuckley was horrible from the beginning. hes just complete scum so this kind of behaviour is expected. idIok actually thinks he's noble and tries to do "good" for what he believes is right...which is fucked up. So he's still worse. He got manipulated by Fuckley which got Naze and Amida killed, not to mention now Lafter. And earlier he let that armour go crazy and that's why Mika is crippled and that whole farm plant got wiped out (poor innocent people). idIok is still the greatest scum. But Fuckley is a close second.

There are now two characters that I hate so much. I think I hate Jasley more than Iok. The way he disrespected Naze's funeral was very upsetting. Not only that, he got Lafter killed. Mika better mess him up very bad. Akihiro went berserk mode in the gym. Mikazuki and Atra talking about babies was pretty funny.

I think Lafter is not dead (at least not yet), they were to much element that was pushing us to believe that she was going to die soon,

Also Some element doesn't seem right, when Echo was calling Tekkadan to deliver the bad new, she was completely neutral, and not a bit sad ( if you remember the previous episode she was crying at Amidas and Naze death), even if we suppose that she was not close to Lafter she would still been sad that a member of her family just died ( like Tekkedan every time they lose member).

Only lafter body is show, with 2 hit, one on the stomach and the other one on the chest.

McMurdo was also show to suspect Jasley from backstabbing Naze, i don't think he would have let the girls without protection. I believe that he let the stage set up to see what Jasley is up to and tekkadan reaction. (surely it will not be the first time, that someone is trying to overthrow him)


I really hope you are not serious. I mean, to think that Lafter is still alive is delusional. Yes, she's dead and no, she's not coming back to life. There's no need to show every detail i.e. funeral, etc. And let's presume she isn't dead, why would Echo lie to Tekkadan? Either way, Lafter is gone and there's no two ways about it.

Why is it so difficult for some people to believe that she died? Is it because she was supposedly going to become Akihiro's lover? Well, Okada stopped that before it happened. Also, Akihiro wasn't in love with Lafter. He respected and cherished her as a comrade. If she stayed alive and chose to go with Tekkadan, I'm sure things would have gone that way eventually but I guess Okada kind of wants to rob Akihiro of the ones closest to him. Too bad I think he might not survive till the end either.

After all those gun shots, there's just no way Lafter is still alive. Those who want to hope, let them hope but it's all in vain. Also, would people really be happy if she comes back to life? I mean, that scene was done in a very good and unexpected way. It sure would be silly if it was done like that just to end up with her being still alive for the sake of a romance subplot.

Farred is sure to "betray" the Tekkadan at some point. What is their child-soldier mercenary organization for his just and lawful Gjallarhorn, led by order and peace? But there was a witness to his promise, and that was his right hand I am sorry do not remember the name. He is most likely to back up Tekkadan after seeing how freely Fareed backstabs people who trusted him.

I think Tekkadan doesn't have any merit for fight against McGillis if he fulfill his promise about "King of Mars". But if Kudelia has any vendetta with McGillis and seek for help to Tekkadan, That's different story.


Kudelia shouldn't though. I can see it going either way at this point. Crazy shit has to happen though, or else the mobile armor fight will over shadow everything.

What an episode. And here I thought I liked episode 15.

Okada's writing is making me angry as the show continues. But it's a good sign: boring stories can't be this interesting. Props to Okada and her death flags.

Which I didn't catch this episode.

Caught me off guard. RIP my favorite girl. Guess that's why she didn't confess. Goddamnit, Okada.

Can't say that the frame with her face in the new OP rolled a while back was pleasant. I knew something would happen with her, but I was thinking more along the lines of a kidnapping. The sudden assassination we got instead caught me off guard too -.-


Well, fuck. Recalling from the very earliest signs of her showing something for Akihiko way back in S1... Culminating on this. I knew the chances were there that it would turn out like this, but still lol

I guess Jasley wanted Turbines top fighters killed on purpose (ie Lafter) to prove his 'women are weak' point. If Azee was on the scene she probably get assassinated too

Hope Mika butchers Jasley. And Idiok too
