| Shino and Akihiro were the couple that got me into this series.. To see Shino go is just.. UGH Only nice thing were the scenes with Yamagi, but they spoiled his death so hard. I swear if they kill Akihiro too.. |
 |
| Okay, so I've replied to a few people here now, but I guess I should make a proper comment to set out my thoughts for the episode :P Lots of fighting; not too much to comment on here. Nice animation, if a bit busy sometimes. Julieta very misguided. I hold to my belief that neither she nor Gaelio will survive the series. Darn Dáinslaif team. Brutally efficient and underhanded. Rustal's analysis of the Gjallarhorn forces seems spot on. Shino x Yamagi... Seems Okada just wants us to suffer. Lafter x Akihiro, then this? Who's next? Atra? I suspect Julieta and/or Gaelio will die next episode, based on the title "For who's sake?", which suggests fighting on behalf of someone else; such as Mika or Julieta. If not next episode, then perhaps they will die the one after, along with Rustal. Iok may survive just to piss off fans lol. |
| RIP Shino. His death was for naught. I feel sad he died like this.. that Tekkadan is involved and losing lives in this war. Orga is taking shortcuts to his goal and it resulted to this. Where's a Biscuit/Naze when you need one? I had high hopes for Orga's character development, but I think having a Biscuit/Naze stunted it, or maybe I hoped too high. He seems to go back to square one every time he loses guidance/support. He's probably trying to find that in McGillis now. Out of all people.. sigh. I don't even know who to side with. They both have cons outweighing the pros. Burn that Dainslaif though gfdi. Let's just get this over with. Hopefully, Tekkadan can somehow make it out of this.. even if they end up in broken pieces. |
 Man, Ioq survived again... Rastall, I think was a lucky guy because he was near this bastard so by the power of Ioq surviving this conflict (if that hit the mark Ioq would have died) Rastall survived too. Now if he separates from him and Rastall die (he needs to die, he is no different than Jasley & McGillis [using underhand method]) then we will know for sure that Ioq is going to survive because the plot armor demand it. Dammit! R.I.P. Shino :( |
 |
| Tragic end confirmed? Either that or Mika's is probably going to be giving up the rest of his bodily function to go full mobile armor on Rustal's group along with some perfect play from Fareed, because Fareed's faction and Tekkadan don't look like they're going to win at the moment. |
| feels good to see mcgills plan getting ruined and ruined each episode lol. gjallanhorn official dont feel the need to support him and rustal just completely outsmart him lol |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I know some sort of interference would take place because it's still to early for Rustal to die, but damn this shit felt so forced.Mika first of all should have easily crushed Jullieta long ago. I don't even know how she is able to stay with him for so long without having the Alaya-Vijnana System even managing to escape from him to ruin the plan. It was sad to see shino go out like that regretting his failure. |
Noice said: QuattroVaginas said: Spontaneous gay ship just so they can kill off Shino. Nice. It's been hinted at since episode 1 of IBO You're probably right. Honestly never picked up on it; thought they were just playing up the family thing. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
QuattroVaginas said: This is anything but spontaneous, this shit has been apparent since yamagi and shino's first interaction. Its always been a big part of yamagi's character that he had a unrequited crush on the ladies man shino.Spontaneous gay ship just so they can kill off Shino. Nice. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
Exblaster said: Rescuing a man who had one of his men sneak into his enemy's defenses and framing them of using an illegal weapon to give himself an excuse to use said illegal weapon. The same man who hired a guy who started a war between Abrau and SAU for weeks. Yes, but the contention there is Rustal's person, not Julieta's actions regarding one she perceives the same way as Mika sees Orga. It's definitely a character flaw for Julieta to follow someone as morally compromised as Rustal, but the principle is identical. In order to save Orga. "I'll go before you do." and all. |
| FUCK ME I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE HIM DIE! ESPECIALLY NOT IN GODDAMN VAIN! QuattroVaginas said: Spontaneous gay ship just so they can kill off Shino. Nice. Spontaneous? It was obvious like halfway through season 1. |
 |
| At this rate, they all are going to die 1 by 1 for every episode left. |
Exblaster said: Following a morally compromised man and doing anything for said morally compromised man (joining in an attack on the Turbines, who were framed, just to test her new mobile suit in combat) To be fair she doesn't know that Rustal's done anything wrong, or that the Turbines were framed, and testing a mobile suit is hardly an egregious act. Not like she even hindered Amida lol. She was swept aside like a child. |
| Why did Shino have to rage?? OMG he didnt have to die after missing the shot.... |
| IdIok and Rustal live... Julietta need's to die... In pain... A lot of pain... Slow painfull death is what I am awaiting. And damn it pisses me off when Rustal calls them space rats, he almost perished there and yet is stupid enough to underestimate Tekkadan . |

Not like she even hindered Amida lol. She was swept aside like a child. Forgot to mention that she turned a blind eye along with the rest of the crew when the Naze fired a cease-fire signal. Unless I missed something, when did the animes or said that Juliet does not know about the Turbines? From Wiki: "Later Naze, leader of the Turbines, sends out a flare and a request for cease-fire, to which Julieta questions if they should accept it or not. Iok refuses and instead asks if anyone saw the flare, his subordinates deny seeing it while Julieta casts her gaze to the side." She's not amoral; just meek in character. Which is why she clings to Rustal in the first place. "...as Julieta heads to the hangar, she monologues that she isn't here for the operation, nor does she care for it, rather, there is something else that she must do." She's literally there to test out the Mobile Suit. I doubt she knows about the Turbines being framed by Iok; but I admit this is my postulation. |
| dammit Shino died |

| Damnit Mika... you had one job :( |

yuriski said: I really like(d) this series, but I am not sure I can keep watching it. It's become so stupidly corny. I mean, who among the audience actually thought this was going to work? And they are not even trying to hide which character is going to die. I miss when this show was about how Tekkadan could win through a mixture of cleverness, ruthlessness and skill. Now it's just about how many people will die for stupid plans and ideals. I don't know how many of this series you've watched but its been a "Gundam" thing for awhile.I'd call it a tradition to have blatant death flags at this point and honestly this show isn't even as bad about it as older shows,like Victory or Zeta. I'm not calling you wrong btw,its just something I'm way use to at this point and guessing who is going to die when a potential flag comes (characters admitting they love each other,flash backs of someone's family back home etc)is a game I've cherished while watching these shows since Stardust Memory. Tekkadan has held up very well in terms of causalities until recently and I think things are going to get more intense but I doubt it will approach "Causalities of War" levels. Iok still alive though?Complete bullshit.When is this waste of oxygen going to die?Please don't tell me the writer has it planned for Rustal and McGillis to die so that this guy ends up gaining power and realizing he needs to turn the organization around.I don't want that bullshit. Turn around or not its this guy's fault that Naze and Lafter are dead so I want him dead. RIGHT NOW Finally got to see Bael in a action though...thank god.I'm going to have fun making some animated gifs from this episode I can tell. |
Exblaster said: Don't see how being meek justifies in turning a blind eye on someone who is willing to surrender... As a character, it absolutely justifies it, not as a person. Not once have I praised her personality or role; only questioned why people want her dead because of such reasoning. It's localised bias and seems rather unwarranted for such a minor character. You're just assuming too, let's not forget :P |
silverwalls said: i was just about to jump on the shino x yamagi ship why do dis you're just now jumping on that train? It's been a thing since like the first half of season 1 |
| *Sniffles* Sorry Yanagi. From the moment Shino brushed your hair aside to show your full face his death flag was raised and confirmed. No getting out of that. But it honestly is sad that he missed. Like it was obviously he would miss and things wouldn't just end like that but damnit could it hurt to surprise us? Plus idIOK is in that ship. He needs to die. This happened because Mika wasn't being badass enough! WIPE THE FLOOR WITH THAT CHICK. QUICK. |
lord23 said: Dont know why you quoted me saying this, but not many actual tekkadan members have died from the start mainly cause the cast isnt that big.

lord23 said: Well if you want actually casualties not just tekkadan but also allies to them, the body count is higher. Fumitan, biscuit, aston, lafter, naze, amida, shinoJizzyHitler said: sorry just wanted to ask since I feel like they lost a lot more and shino feels like the 3 named character that died :(Dont know why you quoted me saying this, but not many actual tekkadan members have died from the start mainly cause the cast isnt that big. Just biscuit and shino though theres likley more to come. There arent that many deaths though they have all been pretty important characters barring aston. I'm not expecting that much more death from the cast, I dont expect akihiro to live, mika I expect to die, atra is about 50/50 (if she dies mika lives), and in the smallest chance orga MIGHT die when McGillis inevitably becomes the main antagonist in the coming episodes. |

| Honestly, I thought Shino was fairly one-dimensional, and not nearly as compelling as say, Akihiro. I think they did a phenomenal job with the circumstances leading up to his death though, and I did feel pretty sad when the dust cleared. While the last interaction between Yamagi and Shino was as clear a death flag as any I've seen, I can appreciate the fact that their relationship has been built up over these last 2 seasons at least. Part of the reason why I felt so sad when Shino died and why I thought it worked so well was because of Yamagi. He's already an outlier among Tekkadan as it is, and it hurt when he realized that Shino never was even aware of his affections. Between the two, Shino had the easy part, sacrificing his life for the good of Tekkadan. Yamagi had to watch as his secret love went out to the slaughter, oblivious to his feelings and never to return. The imagery of the bandage that connected them was a nice touch. Of course Shino didn't have it all that easy. I'm not sure if he would have been able to survive if he had chosen to retreat rather than charge in after that missed shot. If he could've retreated, I think that makes his death all the much sadder. Shino's basically been the definition calm, cool and collected this entire series and for him to basically go crazy after realizing he had failed was horrifying to watch. For the one-dimensional character that I believe he was, Shino's cry of unchecked anger, most likely a good dose of self-hate, and overwhelming desperation was truly an emotional thing to see. I don't think it was the death that Shino deserved, but it was likely the one that had always awaited him. |
Exblaster said: When I think of minor character it would be that guy who appeared in like 4 episodes and died in the ship. Or that one kid in the very first episode that got killed in the first battle. Or the protestors in the Dort colony. Those count as background characters in my book. Minor characters are characters who do not play pivotal plot roles within their universe; major characters do. That's why Rustal is a major character and Julieta is not. Or is Ride a major character too? Is Hush? Until Julieta does something to change that, or has more character development beyond "I serve master Rustal", she is a minor character as far as I'm concerned. As far as supporting characters go. Exblaster said: On what? My so called "assumption" of me being skeptical of your claim, that didn't clearly stated in the show, that Juliet is unaware on the framing? The assumption of her backing Rustal under full disclosure of his actions. Sorry if that wasn't clear. But I made a mistake in my original statement, where I didn't put "probably didn't know" and put "didn't know" instead. That's my bad, and I apologise. It makes the difference between an assertion and an opinion. |

| Shino's death was pretty tragic. Sucks to suck. How is Julietta even matching Barbatos in a 1v1? She should have died in their second encounter tbh. I hope she dies in the next episode. Tekkadan is in a tough spot, but seeing Rustal attacking with underhanded tactics strenghtens the notion that he needs to die. How the hell is Tekkadan going to turn this around? Looking forward to it. |
| If Julietta and ESPECIALLY IOK is alive in the end... then fck this series |
Exblaster said: There is a thing called Supporting characters "A supporting character is a character in a narrative that is not focused on by the primary storyline, but appears or is mentioned in the story enough to be more than just a minor character or a cameo appearance. Sometimes, supporting characters may develop a complex back-story of their own, but this is usually in relation to the main character, rather than entirely independently." Yeah I edited my comment after thinking about it. What I meant was that she is a mid level supporting character at best. Mind you, I said "such a minor character". I didn't mean it in the sense that she is a literal "minor character" in the classical manner. Exblaster said: I probably wasn't clear either. I don't think I stated or stated clearly that she back Rastel with or without knowledge. Hmm, you're right. I'm in quite a few discussions atm elsewhere on this topic, so I must have been confused. Not sure why I replied that to you, sorry xD |
| SHINO MISSED. Are you fucking kidding me man this has to be the biggest choke in gundam. You had one job Shino. How much longer do we have to wait to see Iok die the man's plot armor is insane. Action was good this episode and Bael looks amazing hoping to see more of it fight next episode. I didn't really care for the bromance this episode. Edit: I rewatched the episode and saw Julietta made him miss |
