| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was a good ep. A nice revelation concerning Eureka and Holland, didnt see that coming. Really wish they'd introduce what's going on with the global situation sooner, but dont mind the vague outline too much at the moment. At least information is slowly being fed to the viewer. Military = bad. Nothing new there, I guess. Why did there have to be 3 kids!? Why not just 1!? Man... |

Astaroth said: Think it's a homage to Mobile Suit Gundam (the original), same situation with three orphaned kids. Aha, thanks for that bit of trivia. I've yet to watch a single Gundam, so that homage went above my head. Though I plan on watching every single Gundam show, starting at some point this summer... |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| I thought it was because the creators of the show hate us. D: Worst kids ever. Seriously. |

Gnome said: Why they decided for there to be 3 kids instead of 1 or 2 is beyond me. homage to Mobile Suit Gundam as I stated like 4 posts up :x |
| Just thought I'd give a small update to the 3 kids discussion. I'm watching the original Mobile Suit Gundam and yes there are three kids, a girl and two dudes, one black. The MSG kids kick the shit out of the Eureka Seven gang. The 70's kids arent annoying at all, they just appear here and there randomly doing their cute "we're kids, we want to help!" thing. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Yeah, the kids here are really irritating >__> This was a great episode, the background on Eureka and Holland was really unexpected :O |
 |
| Eurika IS older than she looks=/. A soldier of the military(top class, too) several years ago? Yet, she has no class whatsoever. The guy told her he loves her from the start, she's just using him to make her toy happy. |
| very nice revelation episode mmmm enjoying the hate above posters have for these kids. man they suck. |

| I guess I don't understand how Holland is thinking *at all*. First, why did he get so angry at Renton, and second, what about Renton's behaviour made Holland turn 180 degrees and make him a full member of the crew? |

Yeah when she said that to him I was expecting him to break down and realize shes been using him, but he didnt... |
 |
| I couldn't help but get a FMA vibe from this ep... Eureka being a "dog of the military" and having to destroy the Vodarek people is very similar to the religion vs military situation in FMA when the military alchemists destroy Ishbal. |
     |
| I am utterly disappointed to see that the kid's don't improve, they are so annoying! Especially Linck! I hate that brat so much! Maurice is the only one which I actually like, but that's because he's the only one which actually looks cute and the one who cries over nothing less. And the Nirvash moved by himself =D |
| hm,nice ep,i have no opinion about the kids being stupid or not,but i like Maurice,he seems just better,wasnt expecting Eureka being on the military tho. |
 |
kasumisama said: I thought it was because the creators of the show hate us. D: Worst kids ever. Seriously. yeah seriously, like I said last time the black kid is the most annoying being in the universe. Amazing episode, when the Nirvash moved on its own I was like OOOHH SNAAAP |
     |
| Yay!, now he's not the trainee/or rookie anymore. He's an "Official Member" of the Gekko State. Also, Holland took it over the top when he punched Renton twice., lol but oh well. |
     |
And the Nirvash moved by himself =D Holy crap, it's EVA-01! Re the hole: I don't get it either. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I liked this episode. Eureka's past was shown and lol she doesn't look like she's changed that much physically. I wonder how old she really is. I also think Holland went overboard with punching Renton twice. Holland should of known Renton was oblivious to what happened in that city. |
 |
Luthimal said: Renton puts Eureka's kids on a battlefield, and she warms up to him. Eureka reveals she's a murderer who should be tried for very serious war crimes, and Renton instantly forgives her. Oh, and Holland goes from bitch-slapping Renton for wanting to ride waves, to promoting him for disobeying protocol. No one in this show reacts how they should. Word. It doesn't help that the series so far is just. So. Boring. The mecha genre, being an already outrageous concept, has the liberty doing whatever the hell it wants. Yet I feel Eureka 7's writers take the story too seriously. The result? Revelations such as those in this episode come off as 100% cheesy. Back to fast forwarding through eps in hopes of stuff happening. |

| Oh Holland went from a freaking asshole to a cool guy in the end :) I liked the episode and I agree with ColdBeans, this episode give me the FMA vibes. Which is always a good thing. |
| That was a very nice ep. I miss this anime so much. ^^ |
| The pacing was just a little too quick to get the full emotional impact of the revelations. I didn't find a problem with the tmeline--Eureka was obviously a child soldier at the time. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| That's some damn dark past Eureka and Holland have... Seriously fucked up :C |
 |
| So Eureka and Holland used to work for the military and killed innocent civillians in the place they visited. I wonder why the kids love Eureka after they saw what she did in front of them? |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| A very good episode |
 |
| Poor Holland, he really needs a hug. |
 |
| very nice seeing Renton fiiiiiinally get a room, haha and being apart of the gekko squad, great episode |
Roloko said: So Eureka and Holland used to work for the military and killed innocent civillians in the place they visited. I wonder why the kids love Eureka after they saw what she did in front of them? Nice learning about their past, and I too wonder why the kids would call her their mother after that. I guess they eventually warmed up to her since she wasn't going to kill them. And wow, Holland. Can't believe he hit Renton twice. Once was enough, and he really should've just given Renton an explanation, at least a lie or something if he didn't want to tell Renton what he did in the past. And Moondoggie was there also =_= poor Renton getting beat up all the time. Well at least Holland realized that he was wrong and felt bad about it. Yay for Renton finally getting a room ^^ |
| lol they had a room the whole time, figured the junk and clothes were more important than him. |
 |
| Holland punched Renton when he had nothing to do with it. Eureka was using Renton until now. Renton wasn't an official member and his room was used as a storage all this while. In the end, Renton was just pushed around like a toy by all of them. LOL I will never see the day when Renton fight for himself for once. How sad. |
| I didn't expect Gekkostate used to be part of the military. I thought they were just the typical anti-government group :o Still, Eureka annihilated those people like it was nothing. Scary. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Pretty dramatic backstory if you ask me, now we know as well where those kids come from. Pretty nice episode in general but well let's see what's next! |
 |
| As soon as I saw the city in ruin and Holland/Talho bitterness, I just knew that they were rebel soldiers. They do look like some ex-soldiers after all, they are too well equiped and trained to be some poor anti-governamental group. It's pretty awful what they did, shooting on civil raising the white flag... And now that we know where the children went from, I feel kinda bad for all I said on them :/ Wonder what's that mission they are on to bring salvation upon them. So far, all they did was trying to earn money from there and there, they haven't done any big attack on the government. But from that preview, I guess they'll have a reason to get into action next episode. |

| Damn what a dark turn for the show. Glad we got a proper backstory concerning the Gekkostate. Rolex said: Cihan said: Why did there have to be 3 kids!? Why not just 1!? Man... Think it's a homage to Mobile Suit Gundam (the original), same situation with three orphaned kids. I kinda thought the homage was obvious but I guess not everyone is up to speed with Gundam. |
 |
| Just how old is Eureka if she was a soilder years ago? I also don't understand Hooland's actions when he got mad and punched the MC at the start. |
 |
| What a cruel episode that was. |
 |
| Glad that Gekko have accepted Renton as its member. But what's up with talking to machines? It might be some concept I'm not able to fully understand, it just seems so... silly? |
 |
| Wow, and I thought the characters in this show were unappealing before this episode.. |
 |
| Why he hit him anyways? |
