| I knew he was gonna get wasted sooner or later, considering how this show goes about pretty much any of its characters' lives. As much as I hated see Ryu go, that sequence with everybody crying was way too hilarious. |
| A bit overdramatic at the end,but still good. R.I.P. Hero! |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| RYU SAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
 |
| Ryu didn't have to die, he could've just shot the other jet fighter... This episode's pretty great because it shows how war can affect people and how the need to end it. |
 |
| God damn it, I can't believe Hayato killed Ryu. What an asshole. |
 |
| No idea how the last scene was hilarious but... really gonna miss Ryu-san. He needed more screentime to be honest. I swear, in every episode, White Base has fought relentlessly without ever resting one single episode. Ramba Ral an Hamon were great side characters, but I really hope the crew gets at least one episode to rest. |
| "Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum. They should really do their whining at manga forums." Stolen from Janethan23. Add in visual novel readers too |
| it was pretty obvious that ryu was about to die they was setting it up for the past few ep so not even surprised but with this it'll make them all stronger it was the push they needed and im sure its about to show |
| "one step at a time" |
| Was shocked to see Brighto San cry like a baby. lol |
| Everyone's reactions to Ryu's death at the end were so funny |
 |
| I had a feeling it may be Ryu's time to go. He died as a messenger. Bringing together the crew once more, attempting to connect Amuro and Bright, and sacrificing himself in one brief moment. This is the third time I got teary eyed, there was a sense of shock when Ryu drove his plane into the other. The loss of Ryu ended up overshadowing the amazing display of combat Amuro showed, but I do want to mention him tossing the Zaku, shooting the engine, it was very cool too. Something I like is how Bright has been characterized. He can be a real hard-ass, it was my first thought when we really got to know him. He has a strong sense of justice, he has guts, and he has good intentions but the way he can command others to get what he wants can make Kikka cry, or distance Amuro from the crew. He's not perfect by any means, as Ryu said, he views Amuro as a tiger. He's locking him up, he's not trying to understand him or talk to him. Although being a hard-ass may be really damn important as a military commander, it may not be the way to treat a child soldier. Everyone has some growing to do. Bright crying and asking Ryu to forgive him for letting this happen was a good breaking point which showed the burden he carries once more. It seems that this moment represents a serious loss the crew needed to come together, and to prevent something like this happening again. There is a painful message to see in-between the lines however. Just earlier, Hamon named numerous of her soldiers as they all resolved themselves for death. The soldiers on the other side are named for a reason, they are all somebody's Ryu. That funeral scene we saw, is something that the White Base has caused many people to go through. And I think it is quite notable that the cycle of war or hatred continues to be a recurrent notion. To get revenge for Garma, Ramba Ral was sent, to get revenge for Ramba Ral, Hamon went on a suicide mission. It is bleak. |
| first of all RIP Hamon and Ryu, truly a sad episode. I don't think anyone cares but I live in the yellow circle I draw on the map from the beginning, damn it.  |
    |
| As I expected from the last episode, Ryu died. A bit exaggerated reaction at the end but for a side character, it was not so bad. Hamon feels with more personality and her death was harder to watch. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| What started as a sort of retread of Icelina's attempted vengeance of Char revealed a sort of suicidal attack by Ramba Ral's troops and, sadly, Ryu's death. It seems that the others have a lot of growing up to do. I am also curious if Ryu perhaps predicted his fate. |
| Hopefully with Ryu's death Amuro will grow up a bit more and so will everyone else on White Base. That was an amazing episode |
| R.I.P. Ryu. He dies for a good cause, because I'm Sure He brought the crew together with his sacrifice. And saved the whole base ofc, lol. I noticed how the oldest comments in this board are always the most heartless. Kinda funny. Also surprised to see that so many people think Bright is totally heartless. Dude is clearly trying to act tough because he's the leader and it's his job. Also R.I.P. to Hamon. Nice try in avenging your loved one. It almost worked out, the plan wasn't bad. Characters are dying like crazy lately. |

| kind of a ridiculous death scene but whatever lol |
| If White Base is one of the Federation's most advanced ships and also has the Gundam why is it manned by kids, an incompetent ensign, gets zero supplies and such little orders? It's always so cool to see the Gundam modules connect in air. Absolutely heartbreaking about Ryu. |
| r.i.p king was kinda depressing how he died. but they needed this death to make them stronger. wow i sound like a herb lol |
| it is very bold ryu to tell bright to use words when he only used violence to explain his ideas i didn't like him very much |
''Touch the darkness inside me'' |
| every1 was lot immatyure. sad episode. also hamon died not long after ramba ral. very sad |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| they were all crying over ryu's death but not all the others who died before hand aw well there was a good amount of decent characters that died this episode though damn Zeon women seem to have it tough so far |
 |
| RIP Ryu the realest maybe Bright has learned something about commanding at last |
