----------------------------------------
This was quite a tense episode.
Seeing Mika pilot the Barbardos is so satisfying with someone of his talent.

We also got a little bit of ideals clash between Naze and Orga. Aina's talk with Atra got a bit emotional when it comes to feelings (although ridiculously silly as well lol)

Jeebus, that Barbatos rage moves, early part was so awesome!
Atra, what kind of proposal was that? make kids with Mika? tho Im not complaining but still.
Fore shadowed OP got real, one of Mika's leg got jacked up, this series will probably end with Mika's full body paralyzed eh?

It was so depressing. Mika basically gave up on his life, deciding to spend it for Orga and go out with a bang for him, and Orga has no choice but to accept this sacrifice and pave his way on top of it even though he feels like crawling into a hole and just dying. But they both have crossed the point of no return, they can't stop.

Atra requesting Kudelia go make babies with Mika was uh lol Gee, Atra, why don't you go do that yourself with Mika? We know you want to!

While Mika is connected to Barbatos, he regain full use of his body. So why not make a small device that would simulate his connection to Barbatos and allow him to walk and do normal stuffs?


It feels like main characters intentionally step onto the path of destruction, even when others tell them there are safer routes to take.

Also, Mc Gillis will become main villain.

Mika & Orga should earn the most unhealthy bromance of the year,or of 2 years or more even,award already. Neither Kudelia nor Atra have a chance at NTR'ing that ~ Not that there'll be anything left of him to NTR soon.

I felt so bad seeing Mika in that state. :( I wonder if he'll ever be able to live a normal life again. I really, really hope he doesn't die for Orga's sake because Mika is putting his life in Orga's hand, so I can see him dying for him.

I sure didn't expect Atra to propose something like that! I mean, to ask Kudelia to have Mika's baby?! I hope it doesn't happen for real but who knows. If Atra is scared that Mika might die and she wants him to leave his seed, then why doesn't she carry his baby herself instead of asking Kudelia to do it? Is it that she feels Kudelia is more worthy than her? I hope this doesn't lead to a harem route i.e. both Kudelia and Atra having Mikazuki's babies.

So, the title for next episode is "Love." I wonder if we will see more of Akihiro and Lafter. Will Lafter finally confess? I don't really ship them but if it will happen, it's fine. I would actually love to see Mikazuki in love but I wonder if we will ever witness that. My preference would be Atra but I know that it will most probably be Kudelia.

Now it's even more obvious that McGillis will be the main villain. I really hope the agreement between him and Tekkadan won't cost Naze his life. I really like Naze and I don't want to see him die for either McGillis or Orga.
Also, it seems McGillis is already plotting to kill Gaelio again? :p

There will be no episode next week, right? I mean, it's New Year and all?

Awesome episode.

Barbatos vs Mobile Armor fight was simply fantastic, The animation and Barbato's agile moves were so amazing to watch.

Damn Mika. :( Feel really bad for the guy, Half of his body is paralyzed and he's given up his life for Orga.

Orga's conversation with Naze really hit hard, Even though he's striving for his goal to make life easier for everyone at Tekkadan, Is the goal really worth the loss that will incurred in the journey to it? :(
Seeing Orga beat himself up over this and trying to justify his actions was really hard, Mika's conviction is really awesome. Despite everything he's going through, At the end of the day he's still willing to put his life on the line for Orga. I suppose Mika's unyielding loyalty is something that always reassures Orga and gives him the confidence to move forward.

Atra asking Kudelia to have a baby with Mika was funny. xD

Mika's actions have aroused a certain idea in Fareed. How far is Fareed willing to take the ideal of the hegemony of power in revolution?

wow that fight scene was intense and so cool, Mika knowing that there's a consequence when using Barbatos in fighting did it anyway and ends up getting his whole right side paralyzed. In the end Mika still thinks that because Orga gave him that live he have to live up to Orga.

I like the way how this episode focuses on Orga more, because its been a long time since Orga is in the spotlight. Naze's and Orga's talk is so intense that it makes him doubt why is he doing all this, in the end Mika straighten things up again

Excited to see the next episode

I was like LOL!, I really laugh out loud and I even stand up, like seriously? WTF hahahahaha!!!

Wow, what an emotional episode.
Seeing Mika piloting Barbatos in rage mode was extremely satisfying, I really appreciated that they skipped most of the details so we could better understand the situation and how the characters felt about it. When Mika was giving himself to Orga I even teared up a little bit, if the show continues like this and we get so see their back story i might consider giving Iron-Blooded Orphans a 9/10
"Have a baby with Mikazuki" ..ehh yes please.
Holy shit, Mcgillis is so great. Never have I been so fond of a character like him. His passion and love for his betrothed is amazing I kind of feel like he`s going to become a villain of sorts though, which sucks because i really like him.

With this episode its pretty much a guarentee this will end poorly for the characters, I just wonder if they will go for the entirety of tekkadan getting destroyed or if they are going to go for major players like mika dying but tekkadan surviving due to their sacrifices.

also mcgillis basically just became the main antagonist had it not been guarenteed before already.

I was pretty much expecting for Mika's body to get more disabled because of that but not this much ;-;
I really hope Kudelia not just her but also Atra get a chance to be a offical harem with Mika like Naze and make babies before he dies. If he fights another strong opponent that requires his body to go to another great extend like this, he will definitely get extremely crippled or even die. If Mika dies, highly likely chance Orga will die too because they're bros. The only thing I can think of that can fix Mika's body is, if he gets like robot arm and legs that are connected to and controlled by brain. I swear If Mikazuki dies, I'm gonna get make my forum pic a pic of him as a tribute(prob be up for months) instead of my usual waifu forum pics.

I love the Mika/Kudelia/Atra trio but I feel like Kudelia really needs to be removed from this kiddie harem bullsh!t.

Season 1 Kudelia was one thing but now she's maturing a lot more and a lot faster. She's becoming closer to who she set out to be and just having her character deal with Atra's immaturity about sharing Mika is keeping her down. Kudelia needs to be more involved with the political aspects of this season than she already is.

As much as I want to laud Barbatos' fight, I just can't. Everything goddamn broke this episode. Everything, dammit! There were too many feels in 1 episode and now Mika has a 99.8% chance to kill himself and Orga won't fucking stop him. Biscuit would have killed Orga if he saw this episode's end, I'm sure of it! And now to top everything else off, McGillis is going Milliardo Peacecraft on us!

That battle was scary. Even Gjallarhorn guys were in awe as the fight unfolded in front of their very eyes. For better or worse, it truly inspired McGillis. That arises a question of some significance - who will be controlling the first Gundam Frame constructed, the Bael? Will it be Mika or McGillis himself? I wonder, which one of them will follow in the footsteps of Agnika Kaieru..

On another note, I definitely wasn't expecting Atra to make Kudelia such a proposal. It wouldn't amount to much, I guess, as Mika can't live in a peaceful world...

Above all, however, I rejoice over the fact that Iok was finally scolded by none other than the man he reveres.

Mika's fight was so intense. It was awesome. He completely rekt the MA. But after that, he lost the right side of his body. That doesn't bother him though. He is still willing to fight for Orga. Atra asking Kudelia to have a baby with Mika was unexpected xD Iok continues to be an idiot.

I think the reason they named after the Demon lords in the first place is because to use them you must sacrifice something of your own, in this case more power equal you must sacrifice something in Mika case losing your real body. If he is not dead at the end of this conflict (I don’t want that but there is a high possibility) he might end paralyzed with Atra ending as his caretaker and maybe Kudelia in that role too with their children in the farm.

Atra said Kudelia should have a baby with Mikazuki. I agree with that. Kudelia Augus or Mikazuki Bernstein lol! I have a feeling Atra will die eventually because she is an obstacle to Kudelia for Mikazuki's love. The man who Rustal is containing is Gaelio Bauduin. I know for a fact he survived because its a Gundam anime. He wears a mask means he's a Char clone. Idk why Orga handed oyaji the Sakazuki cup. That means he wants oyaji to send goons to kill him if he is not needed. Also, no need for Orga to apologize to Mikazuki that he is paralyzed. Mikazuki is going to die soon. Hush Middy will be the new pilot for Barbatos. I know he will. Hush and Orga are the two main characters. If Hush replaced Mikazuki, he'll go rap Kudelia.

this show sure knows how to make you depressed seeing Mika all crippled but unchanged hopefully he gets some sort artificial device that helps him move i mean were that far in the future something like that has to be made or a baby Barbatos so he can ride around(half joking)

And why should Atra die just so Mikazuki can get together with Kudelia? This could happen even with Atra alive, right? Mikazuki still isn't interested romantically in either but we all know that both girls like him. Personally, I'd rather Atra stay alive till the end even if Mikazuki chooses Kudelia over her.
Maybe you like Kudelia and want her with Mikazuki so bad that you wish for Atra's death just so they can get together easily and without any regrets?

The chances of Mikazuki dying are high but isn't it too late for Hush to take over? I mean, the first cour is already over and Mikazuki is still alive and will continue to fight with Barbatos. I think that if Mikazuki is going to die, it'll most probably happen near the end.
I would like to see Hush shine but sadly I don't see it at this point.
