| Mika is now the official psychological manipulator. To rally Orga back into action like that was quite a feat. People might see it as Mika going berserk on Orga, but I see it different. His calm insistence cut through all the depression and doubts that Orga had and fully focused his attention on the crux of the matter: just what it was that they had to accomplish next in order to reach their collective goals. He may seem to have little regard for the situation or the feelings of others, but in truth, he's probably the most observant and most sensitive to everything that happens around him, and his cool, collected personality and his oratory skills really helps to diffuse any negative situations. He may not speak much,but when he does, it's usually something that is meaningful and worth paying attention to. Kudelia is growing into a fine leader and coordinator, and her beliefs are getting stronger by the minute. It's a welcome change to see as opposed to when she got lost in Dort after the massacre. In truth though, I believe she was probably the most relieved that Tekkadan didn't pull out of the operation, because those boys are probably the ones that she feels that she can truly trust. Next episode seems like it'll be interesting in terms of warfare. I wonder just how hard the procedure to implant that system into Gaelio's spine. Oh, and shout out to Alberta Canada. I'm surprised that Edmonton would still be called that after 300+ years and endless wars. |

| That Mikazuki scene was just plain awesome. Even I feel pumped up after it. The best scene in whole series imho. |
| What episode did Biscuit older brother die ?! I just can't remember ! |
JizzyHitler said: You're always worried about something when it comes to this series. Good thing that so far not a single episode has been nearly as bad as you predicted or feared it would be. If you keep this up you're gonna end up not being able to enjoy the last three episodes at all. Have a little faith in the writers, will ya.This was a very good episode, i loved the scene where mika snaps sense into orga, he was actually pretty damn intimidating. Orga's speach was pretty hype too. Kudelia post character development is a pretty solid character and im very pleased with the direction they have taken her since prior to this she was one of the problems i had with the show during the middle sections where she was still moping about. Next episode looks pretty great, i have a feeling carta isnt going to die like we all want her to though, from the looks of it mika gets thrown off guard by something and its probably gonna be ein and gallio interrupting the fight potentially since its likely been a few days since this episode that next episodes fight takes place during. I am worried about the episode count now, i was generally pretty confident in the show being split cour up until this episode but now there seems to be a potential final goal in front of us with the elections and i hope to god the series doesnt attempt to wrap it up there. Its not that the show cant wrap up in a few episodes its that it'd waste a shit ton of potential by ending prematurely before getting to explore more of the world, pasts of orga mika and the calamity war, and the conflict as a whole. My hope is that they will reach the elections but there is still going to be a political fallout that proceeds it that likely will result in a war which the sequel shall cover but i am anxious until a 2nd season is truly confirmed. also if there is a 2nd season i hope to god they do a better job on animation cause this show looks like ass most the time. I do agree on the animation quality tho, it has gone down drastically since the early episodes and it's become increasingly hard not to notice recently. Let's hope they're saving whatever budget they have left for the finale. Other than that it was another very good episode. Mika and Orga's interactions are definitely the moments when the show is at its best: they are definitely dragging each other down a destructive path atm, so I'm particularly excited to see how their relationship is going to develop in the next season (if we get one). I'm also wholly satisfied with Kudelia's progression: she's really shaping up to be a great leader, even though she aspires for more. She's once again showing initiative and even start to devise clever plans on her own. It's also neat to see all the homeork she's done on Earth's geopolitics in preparation for this day finally pay off. Keep it up, princess. Proud of you. 👌👌👌 |

| That was a powerful scene there with Mika and Orga. |

| BISCUIT T________T Mika waking Orga OMG |
| I like the look in his eyes when Merribit tried to stop him. Mika is already a demon. |

| Wow a lot of people seem to have dropped this, though to be honest I don't think the MAL demographic is a fit for Gundam at all anyway. Also Sunrise remembering that Canada is a country that exists. They've always been good to us. |
| There is no way this story concludes cleanly in 3 episodes man. Still really enjoying this Gundam series regardless given imo the major fall off the last few attempts. |
thepath said: What episode did Biscuit older brother die ?! I just can't remember ! The episode were him and Orga had the fight and he said that he wanted to leave Tekkadan, his brothers death is what sparked him to reconsider their plans, 20 I believe. Damn Mika really is a demon, he sounded like a machine when he grabbed Orga this episode, I wonder what he would do if Orga ever died and he had no one to follow. I'm still really enjoying the show, I am glad that Kudelia has finally began to step up, at the start she was damn near clueless. |
 |
| Wow, that was a pretty FAST recovery considering it took only an episode. Wow. I also liked how Kudelia had this soooo resolute impression on her, lovely. I'm reaaaaally liking where this is going! |
| I knew it, the one who will bring Orga back to his senses is Mikazuki. >.< |

| OMG, another great episode that gave us more info about turbines, the alaya-vijnana and also about that stupid carta. I was already imagining that naze wasn't married to all of those girls. But i still think that the ponytail girl has feelings for naze instead of akihito. And the best part was definitely mikazuki acting like an assassin asking who he will kill next hahaha. I'm very curious to see what mika will do if one day they reach the place that Orga thinks its their final destination I also liked how smart Kudelia was. She became very mature after fumitan's death. I'm really liking her more and more. |

| When Edmonton is a 3 hour drive away... |
 |
| DAMN Mika is one cold-ass customer! Definitely starting to see the more malevolent sides of Barbatos' design coming through here, like a deal with the devil. Orga was all mourning Biscuit one second, but the second that the light shone on his face and Mika entered his whole demeanor changed. He started talking like he was giving excuses, just worn out and tired. And Mika said "NO." "You WILL give me prey. You WILL satisfy me. You've brought me this far, but if you abandon this now THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY." And by god did that scare Orga back to life like nothing else would. I swear, Mika's embarassing not just Setsuna but Heero and even C.C. as well!! Looking forward to next episode, HYPPPPPPPEEE |

I was already imagining that naze wasn't married to all of those girls. But i still think that the ponytail girl has feelings for naze instead of akihito. Not this shit again.The three turbines girls with Tekkadan are wives to Naze (It is heavily implied that some of them bore Naze's Children. Turbines Chart: Dark Skinned Girl (Main Wife) ============================ Lafter, Twin Haired Girl and the Silver Haired Girl (Naze's Side Wives) ============================================= All the other unnamed wives ============================================= Girls that are rescued There!! Akihito will not have a chance with any of the turbines!! If you are referring to Lafter, their relationship could be considered like Master & Apprentice!! I hope this really fucking helps |
| Damn, Carta escaped? How? Mika bascially had her under the soles of his feet, he must've been dazed by Biscuit's death. Fight on for Biscuit. Works with me. That interaction between Mika and Orga was amazing. Mika is pretty scary... |
| That was a pretty intense conversation between Mika and Orga. Mikazuki was saying some crazy stuff, but it worked well to make Orga snap out of it. Still, declaring war on Gjallarhorn... It's like Biscuit's death had the opposite effect. Instead of making Orga more cautious (like what Biscuit wanted), it's emboldened him even more. I'm actually a bit concerned myself, now, that this could wind up getting more people hurt than is necessary... I was very pleased with Kudelia in this episode. She's proving to be very useful now. It was amusing when McGillis was talking about Gjallarhorn leaking information and noting "that's how corrupt we are" when he was the one behind the leak. Nice background info in that conversation, btw; so Gjallarhorn's foundation as an organization was based on the Alaya-Vijnana system, which is now taboo on earth. |
| The great battle of biscuit... holy shit! |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Nice ep, mourning the loss of poor Biscuit. Poor sisters are gonna be destroyed. Liked how Kudelia has grown smarter and how Mika made Olga snap. It was a very powerful scene for both of them. |
| It was nice to see how Mikazuki talked the shit out of Orga and made him stand-up an man-up! 4/5. |
 |
| I'm unsatisfied, I need more death. Biscuit's death left a bad taste in my mouth, must be karma, killing off my favorite. I will not be happy unless one of the following characters die: Orga, Mika, Arta, Kudelia. These are the main four. |
| 臭い- |
| Mika is quite frightening with his single-mindedness, but it's what Orga needed to hear. The truth of Naze's harem revealed! |
  |
| Shout out to Edmontonians and Vancouverites lol. Biscuit was one of the better guys. You will be missed. Briefly. |
| Biscuit! ToT I didn't expect him to die (it was obvious though) I feel sorry for his sisters. It's been bugging me, why the hell didn't Mikazuki finish off that bitch?! |
| Ein and Gali Gali being Alaya-vijnana, dam that's gonna be a problem. Good to see Orga getting over Biscuit's death and moving forward with that speech to everyone. |
| This boys need a boss, needs a Orga, and the instant Orga get up, the happy (by the way of the revenge) arrive to this boys another!!! 3 for left the season, and now the train rail will be the new battlefield!!!! |
| Carta should be dead.. I guess the writers wanted her alive so we could get a great revenge scene going, but at least show how she got away 😵 AV Ein vs Tekkadan will be interesting to watch. And I love Mika's and Orga's relationship. Seems a bit crazy, but they've been killing to survive since they were kids. Orga promised to Mika that they'll get to a point without worries some day, and so Mika is just keeping him on the tracks like he's always been, just with a little more force this time around. Great scene! |
| Wow okay, a slow downer episode, maybe a little too formless, because Biscuit's death was so obviously coming. He was obviously still a very important character, and I am very sad too. Mika is a psycho, and Naze is kind of creepy. Like Naze is potentially like a rapist, but as others have said, perhaps he doesn't sleep with all of the rescued women. It seems like Tekkadan is going to make some dumb-ish moves, and Orga might get killed in the next few episodes. |
| The rain. Biscuit is gone. Iznario can't fumble the bag. Mikazuki visits Orga. Orga is back. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Orga got motivated by Mika's words. We're crushing Gali Gali Galarhorn!!! |
My Candies:    |
Deadhouse said: That Mikazuki scene was just plain awesome. Even I feel pumped up after it. The best scene in whole series imho. I agree. They kept teasing that the Blonde lady would get Orga out of his funk but I knew it would be Mika. |
| Can't believe that damned Carta is alive. |
 |
| Makes perfect sense that it'd be Mika get Orga to stop sulking, but brute forcing him to cheer up with promises of bloodshed is unintentionally hilarious (not to mention that dramatic lightning) |
| mika is surely effective with his ways, but it's too cold for being liked by me, i like sympathetic and empathetic characters and he is literally a cold blooded killing machine, understandable seeing his past but still very scary. We also have a more in depth explaination about Turbines, Neze saves women on the brink of death and maybe he calls them wifes to seem manly, but a lot of them had children with him so i don't really know. i already miss biscuit. |
