| The foreshadowing of either Orga's or Mika's death was strong in this one. It was really just a matter of who. I really wanted to believe it wasn't going to happen because we're finally at the end of all of this and maybe the dynamic of things might change. But no; Orphans stays true to its strict rules of killing off its characters. (Iok is excused due to his plot armor. :( ) Once I saw Orga walk out, I immediately thought about Lafter (which was honestly the most surprising death in my opinion) and just knew that the same thing would happen to him. Why do they do this??? They make you dread finishing each death-pisode with their obnoxious foreshadowing! |
| Maddening episode and after maddening episode. Edge of my seat now. |
Farabeuf said: The last 6 or 7 episodes have turned this from being the premier action series this season into an exercise in masochism. What a perfect summation of how I feel about S2. Good lord. |
| Orga death is underwhelming since it's exact same way as Lafter |
| 2B or not 2B? |
| Oh boy this will divide people no doubt, I personally actually found this episode relieved alot of my worries for how the series will end and while i would of preferred a more traditional finale do think the show can work out this way. That said I really like orga's death, its really low key and not heroic in the slightest much like shino and lafter's death. I think ibo avoids alot of war dramas faults of overglorifying violence which ibo actually was kind of on the verge of doing at a few points, but this 2nd season if anything has shined nothing but a negative light on combat and how things dont always work out. I wouldnt say this death was shock value like some claim though, if any death is that its lafter, this feels more just how the show is solidifying a war in the pocket esque ending as in its a botched plan and the repercussions that follow. I do wish there were more episodes left though as I still feel like this could of been much better had it happened 5 or 6 episodes ago. |

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 |
My sibling and I knew it was coming a few seconds beforehand and we still weren't prepared. The episode was called "Promise" but it should have been called "Death flag" instead. I am beyond pissed that Iok lived once again while Orga died by a drive-by shooting. His words at the end hit hard though. I hope Mika will hear what he said. |

| 2B or not 2B? |
| Summary time! Is Iok still alive after all that? Can't even get a suicide provocation right lol. Will he end up surviving the series, to the ire of every fan watching? Still, Bael is good looking in action. Pretty good plan by Orga, all the pieces falling into place. New identities, escape tunnel, a way off Mars. Good to see Azee up and about again. RIP Orga, my man. It was never going to work out. Pretty sure McGillis is behind this hit. Or at least it wasn't Rustal. Either way I thought it was suspect when McGillis said "Farewell Tekkadan" as he turned his face away from the screen. Then his monologue about not being like Mika, and his breaking away from Tekkadan. If this was Rustal's doing he'd have ordered a swat team and press to surround them. No need for a secret hit squad; he wanted the death of Tekkadan broadcast in plain daylight after all. EDIT: After reading comments, yeah likely to be Gordon Nobliss' men. Not discounting the possibillity that McGillis is involved however ;P |

I thought they would eliminate Mika's character at the end of the season, didn't seem like there was a reason for Orga to go too. |

Edrinn said: Also McGillis never used underhand method, even when killing Gaelio he went to kill him himself (not like Elion rustal), it would have been out of character for him to do that. He literally used Tekkadan to get rid of Carta Issue in the first season. It would not at all be out of character for him to send men for a hit, or get Gordon or someone to do it for him. |
| *Orga see's hope and a chance to turn things around Me: oh fck.... another death flag... *See's one member waiting outside out in the open Me: oh no... oh noooo. *Orga tells Kudelia to make her dreams come true Me: this is bad... stop it *Orga slowly walking down the hall saying stuffs and looks positive Me: he's gonna die.... stop walking! *they turn around and see a car stopping Me: ok here we go, I told yah stop walkin. Iok is fcking immortal tho, how can 1 character be this fcking lucky!? and Mika.... embracing the harem.... it looks so bad. Atra kisses Mika Me: Why'd you have to do that infront of Kudelia? to suck it up? Kudelia kisses Mika Me: ....Wait.. what the? that is disgusting! STOP! Ok I've watched too much shows. Its sleepin time! Weird but I didnt feel shit when Orga died, nor with his grand speech before biting the dust, I felt pissed with Lafter dying tho. |
  |
| OMG didnt think he would die before the end of this. |
| FCK THIS!! WHY ORGA GODDAMMIT!! Friggin everybody is dying and Iok is still alive?? WTH seriously!! I knew it was a death flag the moment Orga borrowed Mika's gun!! why?! please don't die on us Orga!! orz also next episode preview when Mika says that he'll ask Orga for the baby's name when he comes back.. ugh TT_TT |

| "I'm the boss of Tekkadan. Orga Itsuka. This is nothing to me. Protecting my members is my job. Shut up and let's go. Everyone's waiting. Besides...I finally understand, Mika. We don't need any destinations. We Just need to keep moving forward. As long as we don't stop, the road will continue. I know. I'm not stopping. As long as you all don't stop, I'll be at the end waiting for you. So hear me well. Don't you ever stop." - Orga Itsuka, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. This speech will sit with me for a long time. I actually have rewatched this scene at least 6 times now and I'm still heart broken at what happened. RIP Orga, you were definitely one of my favorite characters and the spirit of Tekkadan itself ;_; |

| The Gundam: IBO formula works again: - Create good and bad characters - In the moment you need to raise the stakes, select one character to kill - Selecting the bad characters is too dumb so give them heavy plot armor - Now select a good character - RAISE YOUR (DEATH) FLAAAAAAG!!!!!!! - Put the budget in his death scene - Take the story and the characters into RAGE MODE - PROFIT |
| Its so obvious McGillis did this so that mikazuki will join him. Best episode of the season, i don't why some idiots say its bad because a character died. This is what brings it to an end. I can't beleive people thought he would still be alive after this. |
| Only three words describe this episode: Feels. Bad. Man. |
| I knew Orga was going to die as soon as he stepped outside that door. Too many death flags was being thrown so it was only a matter of when. Mika will also most likely die in a berserk fight with Rustal and Arianhord. |
| orgaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa noooooooooooooo why the hell have to die orga????nooooooooooooooo!!!! |

He literally used Tekkadan to get rid of Carta Issue in the first season. It would not at all be out of character for him to send men for a hit, or get Gordon or someone to do it for him. He didn't ask Tekedan to assasinate Carta, the only thing he did is to point out where tekedan is to Carta and she went there to fight because she believe that Tekedan escaping her troop tainted her "honor". He did manipulated her, but he didn't used underhand method like having your spy infiltrate your enemies and use forbidden weapons so that it will become legal for you to use it against them, have a maid monitoring every activity of someone, have a spy creating a civil war in order to get ride of an organisation etc... If McGillis did have used such method, i believe he wouldn't be in this crappy situation to begin with, and also don't forget he believe in "Authority, Might and Force", that the main reason he went to get the Gundam Bael, because he thought that since Bael is the embodiment of those, Gjallarhorn would have kneel before him. And not having all of them against him. I'm not saying that what i said about him is 100% truth and that your vision of it is wrong, since we're speculating about it. But i believe that he is better than this and that he wasn't lying about getting ride of Gjallarhorn corruption. But if it turn out he was another "Rustall" and that it was his doing for Orga assassination, i'll go cry a river in a corner, and lose hope in gundam ibo ending. |
Dajoeman said: Its so obvious McGillis did this so that mikazuki will join him. No, I highly doubt he's behind this. Not completely sure, but I highly doubt it. I agree with this: |
| I was going to postpone watching the show but when I saw 113 + comments I knew something important happened and boy something really big really occurred... Damn, it was Orga turn to go ahead of the guys... I not going to pretend that he was an angel but he did things trying to protect his family and he died doing the same... R.I.P. Glad to see Azee & Turbine members doing well. It is sad that their help for some of Tekkadan guys would not come in time (I think most of them are going to choose to fight now [avenge Orga] and die in the process, part of sleaze-ball Rastall plan like the time Tekkadan choose to fight when Naze, Amida & Lafter died... Talking about this motherf*cker, Rastall is rotten to the core... but he is dumb as f*ck he killed the owner of a rabid dog, he technically unleashed the leash on Mika, he better be prepared to pay with his life the only thing that maybe is going to hold back Mika is his relationship with his child (I think he wants to see his child grow and possibly have more thus a big family) but other than that he is going to go on a rampage on Gjallarhorn Rastall faction... Better prepare that lube! |

| Orga's death is literally the most retarded thing this series has ever done. That was probably the most WTF death in the entire series, half of me made me go fuck and the other half laughed my ass off. Its like the writer wants to kill off everyone in the main cast but doesn't know how to write it properly, though Shino's death was fucking brilliant. And Iok surviving again? Jesus fuck that's so cancer. |
| Welp it's official, this show has gone to shit. Like what the fuck? This is basically a series of rushed character killings just so the series can have a conclusive end and not go over the typical episode count for most gundam shows. Yep, I'm just gonna mentally check out and watch how this derailed train wrecks itself in the end. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Another random death like Lafter, I'm a little disappointed about how they handle the deaths. It's very obvious through death flags or very random. |
| Right in the kororo. Damn. I must admit that while i was imagining lots of tekkadan/important people to die i didnt even give any thought to it being Orga. I'm so sad. And i cannot believe bloody idIOK is still alive. what the fucking hell. MCGILLIS YOU HAD ONE DAMN JOB. ONE! |
| Knew it. I knew that he was gonna die. The signs were there in this episode. Didn't think he was gonna die like Lafter. though. That's pretty disappointing. Shino had a much better death. I'm just saying. And I now officially think that Iok is immortal. He cannot die no matter what he takes and how much anyone wants him to. lmao |
 |
| Man i hate noticing death flags i'm still shocked that it happened before the finale though Lafter hit me harder but this was real close out right assassinations are messed up. Fareed was great i wonder if he foresaw the events happening and that was his reasoning behind saying their plan works out for him since with Orga gone Mika will fight freely |
 |
| Orga dies and that shit stain Iok still lives? I mean I saw Orga's coming since season 1 cause he was Kamina 2.0, but still he dies and not Iok? This is pure bullshit. The way he died was bullshit too I was hoping it would be him going down with the ship like a badass in the midst of the final battle, but nope SHOT IN THE FUCKING STREETS LIKE A DOG LIKE MY GURL LAFTER. FUCK YOU. Meh I still am enjoying this season, but its not as good as the first one. This is just a messy trainwreck from beginning to end especially after they joined Mcgillis. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
rioplats said: RIP Orga, my man. It was never going to work out. XDDD This is cruel, but true. Tbh I'm used to this sort of thing coming from him now (Tekkedan too, but usually him. Poor guy can't catch a break. Now he suddenly dies. lol). |
 |
| What the FUCK! I kinda sorta expected this but not like this. Not like this! Mika is going to murder. Nothing will survive. Orga goes out like a true hero. Protecting, realistically, an average member of his team because he is simply a member of his family. Still...I expected a more grandiose way of Orga checking out but maybe this was a more poetic way given what I said just above. Some of the character deaths have been a little conveniently inserted instead of perfectly placed which does kinda sour the whole experience. And yet.....Iok is still fucking alive. |

| Hmm. Guys, if you are trying to sneak away undetected, maybe NOT wearing jackets with giant Tekkadan emblems on the back might be a good first step.... |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| As they were walking outside I was just waiting for something to happen. With all peaceful talks and them saying how quiet it is made it SUPER obvious lol. Still sad though. |
| I have the feeling the one that shot Orga is Mcgillis' men, after all he is the only one that knows where, and when orga is going... Not even Rustal knows. The timing is just too perfect. OR it could be because they are so stupid that they keep wearing that TEKKADAN jacket in the open even though their are being pursued |
why you do this ;_; |
| I'm speechless... Can't believe this happened... I have a slight feeling that McGillis ordered his death. Glad that someone is taking care of the rest of the Turbines, you did a great job Azee, Naze would be proud of you. Those girls definitely deserve that <3 R.I.P Orga <3 |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Welp. I already knew it was going to be like this. As expected of Okada the writers. Let's just get this over with. I want to know how they'll write a Mika without an Orga. Too bad it took this long.. don't want to raise my expectations though lol. Rip Orga. I felt nothing ;w; |
| To be honest, after the whole Lafter ordeal, Orga dying isn't as surprising. I meant, deserted town, while a major military operation happening next door = Perfect assassination setting. I'm willing to bet the one behind this is that rich fatass old man Gordon. Fucking always hated his guts. Well, hot damn. Sad to see Orga gone. Wonder what's next? To be honest, I would've preferred an all-out ending, where they went and faced off against that army. But running away and living under cover instead? Where's the sense of having watched something awesome. Sigh. |
