| I feel that they should've put more emphasis on the handshake, it kind of wasn't as strong since it was placed at the start. That is how I feel at least. That explains why Carta has a platoon of blond men. He loves Chocolate Man. Hahaha. Eugene went nuts piloting two ships at the same time... I seriously didn't expect Ein will die... but the thing is he removed the cockpit before his mobile suit exploded... just as everybody says, he will get a surgery and for the Alaya-Vijnana system I thought Barbatos is pretty cool with those sideskirts. Barbatos is looking more complete now. Looks like it will last til the end of the season at least. |

| Such a badasss reentry. |

| Holy fucking shit that was an awesome episode It seems like Ein always gets fucked up in every battle but he'll probably be badass in the near future That red mobile suit is pretty cool  |

| That was an amazing entry and battle during it, I wonder what that red mobile suit is though, it looks badass. I wasn't worried about re-entry, it isn't the first time a Gundam re-enters freely in one piece. |
 |
| Absolutely amazing episode. Gundam Greatness. Eugene was badass xD That fight with the Earth in the background was just beautiful to watch. I love it when the Gundam's morph and flash their eyes XD Wonder if Ein died :o Mika using the other mobile suit as a shield, That was such a cool re-entry . Wonder if they'll rush up and end things in a single season? Personally I would prefer they don't do that. |
 |
| My favorite battle yet! It was amazing and intense and I actually thought that mika might die at the end.. P.s. PLEASE stop making the antagonists this lovable. First chocolate man and gali gali and now carta, I'm really not looking forward to any of their deaths :( |
| DAT ending really got me well, the tears and the emotion....i can feel it. Atra....;_; great episode overall......best episode to me. Eugene was insane at the first half, and the battle in the second half was epic and intense. that is the best battle from this series to me :D i thought someone will die in this fight but thank god no one die :) and finally they arrived on earth...glad to see that and looking foward for next week. |

Celinha87 said: Im absolutely loving Chocolate Char, Gali Gali and Carta. I hope that none of these die, except Ein. He is so sad, but is boring like Jerid Messa in Zeta. But I really prepared for depressing episodes like the lasts episodes of Zeta Gundam :( and hope we have a second season with the majestic return of Tekkadan. lol Poor Ein, but I honestly feel the same way about him. It's why it won't faze me that much if he ever croaks or gets offed. |
|
| Man what an epic episode! not surprised Ein sacrificed himself to save Gali Gali, rip. |
Was trying to figure out how to hide things as spoiler. Took a while. I'm still sort of new here on this site. lol But yeah. |
|
| THE GRAVITY OF WISHES. So fitting end to everything they went through up to this point. Starting from the handshake all the way to the atmospheric entrance. The best Gundam episode in years. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Wow. I did not expect Ein to sacrifice himself so early. Mika was such a savage in this episode. Eugene, definitely, deserves a lot of praise too. Carta was so annoying. Definitely a tsundere who likes the Chocolate Man. I was literally on edge watching them go with gravity. Mika being amazed by it at the wrong time =w=;; Atra's tears and that nice ending with the flashback and the "Mikazuki" ;u; |
| this epsidoe was beuatiful, and the closing music just amplified my feels. I don't know why but mika has warrior coursing through his veins, his decisions even during the heat of battle are like those made by an seasoned veteran. |

Celinha87 said: AmyTwo said: lol Poor Ein, but I honestly feel the same way about him. It's why it won't faze me that much if he ever croaks or gets offed. Exactly, I understand your motivation against Tekkadan, but if he dies would be better. I don't want anyone hurting Mika, Orga, Kudelia, Atra, Eugene, Akihiro and company..... :((((((((((( Yeah. Plus the fact that he's mostly only centered around revenge, it makes him rather dull, in my opinion. That will probably change if he still is alive, but yeah... so far, not really caring much. |

| The first half of this episode felt weirdly... rushed. Not in the sense that it had low production values, but in the sense that it felt sped up or something. You know when you put an Youtube video on 1.25 speed? Kinda like that. Which is probably why i thought Eugene's conversation with Shino felt so unnatural. Still, i can overlook that because ship combat makes my dick diamonds, and the Isaribi ramming that satellite was hype as fuck. All the combat in this episode was very well animated. In other news, Mikazuki is still boring as fuck, and Ein is probably dead. I kinda liked him, but i can't really feel sad because he did absolutely nothing of relevance. Kinda like those Oz grunts who were semi-important for one or two episodes and then died in Wing. Speaking of Wing, Mika's ability to be almost as boring as Heero is astounding, to say the least. I also think it's kinda weird that Ein would already be ready to die for Galio when the only real thing prompting this was "yeh m8 you're a cool dude even if you're half martian". Oh well, it was still a decent episode. |

| The moment Mika was about to give up I was like NO WAY! Then the Orga/Mika flashbacks rolled and a light of hope appeared. That was so incredibly reassuring. This anime has finally impressed me to the point to increase my rating. While I am almost certain the anime will get a sequel, let me busk in the awesomeness by giving the anime a well deserved 9/10. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Great episode!! Been years since we had such a good Gundam! Hope they keep it up till the end. Really want to see a fight where Mika fights full time with those murderous eyes =x |
 |
| WHOA HOLD UP Mika and Ein hate being looked down upon. Both of them are extremely loyal to a certain person who didn't look down on them. So loyal, in fact, that they'd go as far as to risk their own lives just to be useful to that person. Both of them have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them have Martian blood. Could it be that they are somehow related? Also, in my last comment i said that Ein reminded me of those Wing grunts that were kinda important for a few episodes and then died. Most of those grunts were named after numbers, because that's just how Wing rolls. Incidentally, Ein is "one" in German. Additionally, most of those grunts piloted Leos; Robots that are dark green and have a single vertical yellow visor that looks kind of like an eye. Ein piloted a Graze; A robot that is dark green and has a single vertical yellow visor that looks kind of like an eye. |

| of course you're cool Eugene! shit that was awesome |
 |
| Probably my favorite episode so far. Really great battles and loved the music they used. My only critic with this anime so far is I wish the animation could be better, still really enjoy it though! Also glad they finally reached Earth. Can't wait to see where the story goes next week. |
 |
| Well, I guess that explains why Carta has a personal guard full of blonde guys, lol. So since they're on Earth now and going to meet the boss in the PV, does that mean blonde lady is no longer needed? I hope so. I never liked her character and the half-assed romance bits with Yu-Gi-Orga were dumb as crap. |

| Holy shit that episode was LIT as heck Mikazuki riding his enenmy's corpse all the way to VICTORY! He is such an alpha  |
| In one word: Amazing! |

SansrivaaL said: Holy fcking episode, this exceeded my expectations for this franchise, the feels, the fight sequence just fcking everything!!! definitely a 5/5!!! i agree completely. COMPLETELY. I also expected Mika to use one of those corpses to enter the atmosphere the moment he had to take the time to fight that last guy. :3 Great minds think alike i geass. |
| MIKA WHAT A BAD@SS |
| fantastic episode, charcolate man really is gonna be a great char clone/potential main antagonist at this rate, the action was solid, animation was actually good for fucking once, and the plot is moving quite fast. Hoppy said: oh god no, i dont think i could handle this show going full zeta gundam, zeta was only manageable cause i genuinly hated half the cast and the characters i liked aside from a couple made it out alive even if extremely fucked up from the experience, however ibo has a much more likable cast overall and really dont want to see any of them go.AmyTwo said: Ugh. Exactly how I feel, but it's likely gonna happen... since this is Gundam... I'm prepared but... :( Episodes 40-50 are going to be depressing like Zeta. lets just hope it is 50 episodes, i think i read something worryysome on gundaminfo not long ago about the gundam upgrading to its 6th and final form for the final fight or something |

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 |
| This is definitely going to be one of my favourite episodes of Gundam: IBO. It's amazing how they can combine a great plot + tons of character developments with some crazy action scenes. Eugene stepped up his game this time around and seems unfazed going against a bigger enemy. His piloting skills plus Orga's brains are going to be a deadly combo next time around, I can see it! Rip Ein. Kinda felt bad for him, he seemed like a nice guy that was just on the wrong side of the battlefield. On the other hand, now I'm really curious to knowing Chocolate man's true intentions. In my opinion, it looks like he is undecided on either side and is looking for answer. Last but not least, I have to talk about Mikazuki's landing; you have to! Epic. At first glance I thought that Barbados parts were coming apart but psyche! it's just a surf board replacement for Mikazuki. 10/10 |

|
| Enjoy it while you can kiddos, I fear that between this and Thunderbolt we've used up a good 5 years worth of Gundam goodness at least. Perhaps even 10. Once this finishes airing, it will probably be some years before they manage to make another one anywhere near as good. |
Olengie said: I actually laughed at what happened to Ein. I want him dead, but he's probably going to be a cyborg. Ein maybe become cyborg, and become the last boss in this series |
