Noice said: LiquidGold said: 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. It was't his fault julieta hit his cannon with her sword whip Shit you're right I had to rewatched it 3 times but i saw it. I can't believe I missed it. I owe Shino an apology. Sorry Shino my bad you still awesome. |
 |
| What an intense episode. The action was awesome. I knew Shino was going to die, but was still heartbreaking. It sucks he missed his shot because of Julietta. His bromance with Yamagi was nice. Rastall had the upper hand because of the forbidden weapons. Things are not looking very good. I hope Tekkadan pulls through. |
 |
| I'm fucking pissed and bawling my eyes out right now. I knew it was going to happen BUT NOT LIKE THIS. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL. Yamagi didn't even get to confess to him and he just had to miss that last shot to the butterfly-eating bitch. FUCK. FUUUUUCK. FUCK THIS SHIT. |
Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Now that was intense. Loved this episode with all the action in space and Barbardos in full battle mode. The little bits of bromance was a nice balance too. Mika impressed me as usual. What an intense ending, holy shit.  Yamagi loved him romantically. Fuck off with that bromance shit. |
| I don't even know what to say. I'm crying so damn hard and Shino was one of my favorite characters. I really wanted Yamagi to full on confess in the end but I feel like part of Shino already knew which is why he invited him to drink one on one. Seeing Shino the most calm and collected member of Tekkadan fall into a fit of rage and despair at the end literally broke my soul. |

I really hope he knew but it hurts because even if that was true, Yamagi didn't think he did and that's what matters and I hate myself. Also, Biscuit and now Shino DIED BECAUSE MIKA COULDN'T HOLD THESE BITCHES DOWN. |
Roloko said: Iok was there so its not surprising his plot armor protected them all. I both hate what you're saying but can't dispute it either. The villains have more plot protection then any of the main characters. |

| While I liked the idea of Shino/Yamagi and I liked their scenes in this episode, Shino's death didn't really shake me as much as Biscuit and Naze's. I liked Shino but I don't know why I didn't feel much. I'd have liked to see his relationship with Yamagi getting somewhere, which I highly doubt as he is totally a ladies man but who knows what would have happened if he stayed alive and realized Yamagi's feelings for him. Also, maybe Okada didn't want to go that route with them and so she had to kill Shino off. I'm not sure anymore who is on the wrong and who is on the right. McGillis has his ideals which I'm not sure he will be able to see through to the end. Rustal has his own agenda as well and he is willing to sacrifice his own people for that cause. Now, I just hope he doesn't end up betraying Gaelio. Some people say that Gaelio doesn't understand where McGillis comes from but does that make McGillis a good guy? I don't think so. Honestly, I don't root for either McGillis or Rustal as they they're both fucked up but I'd prefer that Gaelio survives this. I don't care for Iok and Julieta as well. I want Tekkadan to survive this as well but that's highly unlikely. I highly doubt both Mikazuki and Orga will survive but who knows. Only five more episodes. I just hope it will have a good finale and not a rushed or nonsense one. |
Allen750 said: Pretty good action. Loser missed the shot, so he dies. Appropriate logic, happens all the time in video games. If they won this battle, I think IBO would have a decent ending. I feel like it's headed towards a 00-esque ending, with many sequel-movies to fill in what cannot be filled. He didn't miss because he was a loser -_- he missed because the bitch threw a piece of her mobile suit arm and hit his canon, which made his shot misfire. |

I don't it's a stretch to think he may have reciprocated (Especially if you go by Shino's VA words), given the framing in their last scene and the overly-romantic mood, the general direction make you feel that something could have happened, with the right setup. But like Lafter, he was another IBO underused character that had to die for the drama. |
 |
| Welp RIP Shino. You were a glorious anime Johnny Bravo. And Iok aka reverse Patrick Colosaur lives yet again. I guess nothing nice ever happens in Gundam. Also, RIP Yanagi's mental state. I sincerely doubt someone as dense as Shino picked up on what he was laying down. |

Well, Shino might have learned to reciprocate Yamagi's feelings if he lived but who knows. I see Shino as the player type but maybe falling in love will change him. I like Shino/Yamagi but I just never thought it'd happen. |

Yamagi would have had to be female for the ship to happen Bisexuality is a thing, you know. <_> Again, Shino's voice actor pretty much thinks Shino would have accepted him, even if you think "it's just the VA's opinion", there no doubt the show planted the idea and didn't outright rejected it. I don't think it's particularity different from what the did with Akihiro/Lafter, i.e. it would have possible had one of them not died. |

Shino didn't seem interested to me though. |
| FUCK!!!!! This really pissed me off!!!!! Shino was obviously going to die but I really expected him to finish the job because of how shit their luck has been lately. I am way more sad over Shino than Lafter D': This can't be a coincidence..  |

lagpipi said: Can no one see the fault in the plot? It almost feels like whoever comes up with this story thinks everyone is an idiot (like many things in life these days, apparently). But seriously, what the fuck? So apparently they pulled out this secret weapon, called the "real Dáinsleif". And that guy had to aim this supposedly to be more powerful version of their Dáinsleif at that fucking tiny small point above the big whole fucking ship? Completely missing it, did 0 damage at all. Ended with a frustrating death. I am sure if he would have fired that thing, as long as it goes through the main body of ship, it will blow up for sure.... At least then, even if Rustal and Iok survive, it wouldn't look like a complete waste of exercise. Everybody who watched this show knew it was a meaningless suicide mission that will grant 0 results. Why? Because there is still 5 episodes left, duh. 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. Yup, the plot is getting progressively more retarded with each episode. But that has been the case since Biscuit death in first season. |

I don't think it's particularity different from what the did with Akihiro/Lafter, i.e. it would have possible had one of them not died. Oh, sure. Bisexuality is a thing but Shino didn't look like a bisexual to me. If Shino would ever be interested in Yamagi, it'd be because Yamagi is cute and somehow looks like a girl. I'm sorry but I don't think Shino bats for the other team. To me, he's a ladies man and he never showed any hint of being interested in men. Still, I wouldn't deny that something might have happened if he lived and since Yamagi would most probably make his feelings clear and even confess. I'm not against it. Actually, I pretty much ship it but I still don't think they'd have gone with this ship. Now, the biggest surprise would be if Shino turns out to be alive. :P Not going to happen but just saying. About Akihiro and Lafter, I'm sure you noticed that Akihiro wasn't interested in her as more than a friend and comrade. If Lafter lived and decided to stay with Tekkadan, them becoming a couple is a possibility especially that she's the one who will pursue it and I could see Akihiro relenting and returning her feelings eventually. However, this latest episode made it even more clear that he never had someone he loved and that he doesn't need any woman. |
| a great but very Frustrating ep its just i just knew that final plan would fail like it did not to mention that guy was gonna get killed obviously but still very Frustrating in the end |
| "one step at a time" |
| Man Iok is riding with Rustal... that is plot armor for you. >.< McGillis seems to appear an incompetent commander to me in this episode at least. Sigh. |

However, this latest episode made it even more clear that he never had someone he loved and that he doesn't need any woman. Oh, I don't think Shino would have naturally pursued relationships with men, but in general I got the feeling he (or rather the show suggested) may have been open to it or interested had Yamagi confessed (Hence the bisexual comment, though sexuality of anime characters is kinda w/ever in a lot of cases, wouldn't be the first case someone went straight or gay suddenly). I mean, the show clearly gives shippers fuel with lines this  and the scenes were outright romantic, without never denying it (It wold have been easy for them to shut it down and have Shino directly state he doesn't have interest in men during the corse of the show or how Yamagi knows he will never have him, some people love angsty one side love too) and they even bothered to outright confirm Yamagi's feelings for him for those in denial. Their lasts scene was the classical mecha scene "dude promises his love interest to come back to her (him) but dies".It seems to me a genuine attempt to portray a relationship that could have been, rather than pointless bait or one-side feelings that would have gone nowhere. (This leaving aside the staff/Va's that generally supported it) That yes, if they had gone to drink together Yamagi would have confessed and he wouldn't have been rejected. Heck, you even get ~symbolism~ tying them together:   As for Lafter/Akihiro, yeah, I don't think he had feelings for her (I'm not even sure Akihiro even knows how women work, eh), but I was suggesting it was the same modus operandi, i.e. a couple that may have been. |

I can never remember her name nor do I want to so that's what I call her. Hah. |
| damn that julieta for interfering. kind of figured shino was gonna die when Flauros took that hit to the arm and he still wanted to go on with the fight. |
 |
| fuckin hell, it still hurts so much when i watched shino shouted due to the frustration of missing the shot. the moment super galaxy cannon missed i literally shouted and got surprised as how shino and me got in sync in shouting(well in my part i was shouting FUCKKKKKK THISSSS SHHIIIITTTTTTTTT) im getting 00 flashbacks all of the sudden because my favorite character just died. i mean seriously how the fuck did julieta even noticed shino was even there and even pin point his exact location when she was so busy with fighting mika, i would've understand if she had alaya vijnana(up to this day i still pronounce this as vagina) system in her, and cmonnnnn mika why did you have to choke on the most important part, you could fucking destroy a mobile armor but not a kiting julieta?? fuck this logic. and people keep saying choco char is the best clone char but cant even produce some battle of the loum moments, i got hopes for him but his battle prowess on my eyes in on equal footing of a dispensable soldier in a mobile suit that could be killed |

| The death flags were strong all over this episode, but it's incredibly unfortunate Shino had to die in frustration that he couldn't succeed. What a horrible thing for him... :( |
 |
| Great Action, some good drama, tension rising and that ending though. I find it funny how this is the most recent episode and it's getting way more replies than the last few episodes besides episode 16 for OBVIOUS reasons. Though you could see Shimo's death a mile away, I think we were all thinking that Shimo was gonna die a hero and killing Rustal with the SUPER GALAXY CANNON. Yes, you have to use all caps for that name. But no, he dies for nothing. It's rare but when expectations are heavily subverted you just wanna know what happens next. Though I still have some problems with how they presented Shino and Yagami's relationship. They didn't interact much until this very episode. It felt a bit forced, but it was still pretty heart warming so I can give it that at least. Shino's death at the end felt forced too. Not his overall death, it's HOW they killed him. Yes he was frustrated, but did he really have to go flying out into his death instead of retreating back? I guess he was to upset he missed he accepted death. Maybe that was the point? Because I was upset too when he missed. Like OUCH...you know what I won't say it's a fault then. It worked! I felt Shino's frustration and I probably would have done the same thing in anger. We do stupid things when we get angry, sad or stressed in general. Still! Great episode! And Julia is gonna get MORE hate. |

| Shino just pulled a fucking Lockon Stratos. Him dying with such frustration damn... Haven't experienced something like this in a Gundam/mecha series for far too long. |
