| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was pretty great intense episode. I didnt buy the mini rebellion at the beginning, I mean what were the dudes gonna do, wander around Asia in their buggy? Ramba Ral was a decent antagonist, the war-hungry moustachiod commando died a hardcore death. *salutes* Sayla-san continues to walk on thin ice... |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| yeah the little rebellion thing was pretty lame, guess it was meant to show bright isn't that great of a commander. |
 |
| I liked Ral, a good antagonist indeed. So Sayla's the princess, eh...should be interesting how things play out. |
∞      ∞ |
| I guess the rebellion kinda makes sense considering that most of the guys on White Base aren't real soldiers but just kids, so they can have their emo bitch moments. Ramba Ral's last assault against White Base was damn epic, indeed! |
 |
| Ryu reminds me of a huge bully. He has to hit everyone doesn't he? And about Bright. He really thought that Amuro would defect to Zeon? Talk about serious trust issues. Other than that, Ramba Ral is now gone. :[ I liked the guy. I'm still bitter about M'quve not giving him any Doms. |
 |
| Those two guys that just happened to oversleep....suuuuuuuure they did. I smell an illicit love affair.. I forgive Ryuu for talking with his fists; he DID punch Amuro, and for that, I salute him. So we know s'more about Sayla now. Char needs to hurry up and make his reappearance >=[ |
| 頭脳は子供、見た目は大人！ ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ |
| Amuro must really be a psychic... he just shouts from ten km away and people listen to him... oh well pity for Ramba Ral, he was a good soldier... |
Pheefa said: Yeah, and it wasn't the first time either xDThose two guys that just happened to oversleep....suuuuuuuure they did. I smell an illicit love affair... Amuro sure is an M, seems like he likes to get slapped or punched. Go Ryu! Give him what he deserves! And nobody notices that Ral called Sayla princess.~ |
 |
| "The wind whipping against my face, that's what war is all about" LOLOLOLOL! Fair enough Ral.... The White Base crew seem to eat nothing but sammiches... I want to go to there! |
| I really like that White Base has a casual Friday on the bridge. Come in uniform but screw your posts, sit on beanie couches or sleeping bags. The "desertion" by Hayato was extremely out of place. I get Kai. The other two haven't really been expanded upon much. They could have been believable. Heated gunfight inside white base was fun to watch though. Was Ryo killed there...? I couldn't tell. Didn't like how Ramba Ral went out. Was... boring. I really liked him. I liked the moment of hesitation with Sayla. I suppose he couldn't have done anything though. Not with Sayla right there. Seeing how he obviously didn't want to hurt her. |
| I wish that soldier killed that girl. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| That rebellion at the beginning was a pointless. Ramba Ral was a pretty decent villain. |
 |
| Ooh, an episode that managed to hold my interest the entire time. Finally. Sayla a princess? So Char's a prince? Why does he pilot a mobile suit? Ramba Ral was cool. He cared about his men and was a dignified soldier. Amuro's still uninteresting. |
| Ramba Ral was a good character, I didn't expect his death in this episode. |

I have to wonder if you even pay attention to what you watch. Anyway, yeah, I don't really buy the rebellion either. Especially Hayato. Other than that, a solid episode. I kind of liked Ramba Ral, so it kind of sucked to see him die. |

The "desertion" by Hayato was extremely out of place. Agreed I found it hilarious they were just lounging around on the bridge. And Hayato I thought he was the most loyal of the bunch. Very surprising he would want to leave. As for Ryu... I swear he looks different now. I don't know what it is but the past couple of episodes his desing has changed. Or am I just on crack? |

I think he meant the guy who was blowing an entrance into White Base and the little orphan girl (whose name I don't know either). LOL. Not that either of you will see this post. |
| Yeah, I think they haven't named those kids or maybe they have said their names once in first episode or something. Ral, you were fine soldier. We will mourn you. :'( Nice to see Sayla getting some Gundam action. It is good that they start training others to pilot it if Amuro decides to go angst in the corner or manages to get himself thrown into brig. |
| Hahah that was a hardcore way to go Ramba Ral! Sayla's story should get interesting from now on. Also that stupid rebellion at the beginning.... |
| pretty good episode, ral was a cool guy so its kind of sad to see him go. |

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 |
| Another intense episode :D The mini rebellion was stupid since Bright probably only said that since the Gundam's is their main power, but that doesn't mean it's the only power they have. People seem to forget that teamwork manages them to survive this far. Lol Ryu punching the hell out of everyone. I like that XD Sayla on Gundam again!! It seems she's getting the hang of it :) So Sayla is a princess that means Char could be a prince??? Now i see where Gundam Wing based Relena and Zech's relationship :) Lots of people died. sucks Ramba Ral died by kamikaze : I wonder if Hamon will die too as well in the next episode. Finally some progress!! Can't wait for more!!! |
Pheefa said: Those two guys that just happened to oversleep... suuuuuuuure they did. I smell an illicit love affair... I lol'ed. |
 |
| That's how a Real soldier dies in battle. Ral was a worthy foe. |
 |
| A cool episode, I think it's one of the better episodes thus far. Ramba Ral died but it was not in vain? Maybe. Sayla is a princess woah. I looked at some of the future episode titles and episode 26 is literally called I'm thinking he wont come back for another 6 episodes than. He's been gone for so long. : ' ( my bae. Anyways. Looks like someone was on the stretcher at the end, and ryu got shot a bunch by ral, so I'm guessing it's him. |

| I like how capable Sayla is compared to Fraw Bou and even Mirai. It was nice to have Amuro do something other than pilot the Gundam for a change as well. So Sayla's real name is Artesia, and she's a Zeon princess? I wonder why she was on a Federation Side in the first place, back when everyone first boarded the White Base. Ramba Ral was a pretty decent antagonist, so I was a little sad to see him die. I definitely liked him more than Garma. |
| Ryu died? That hypocrite Bright doesnt have a choice but to rely on Amuro. RIP Rambal Ral, he was a great guy. Relena and Zechs seems like a copy-paste of Sayla and Char . But the former are better characters . Imo |
| Narrative does not disappoint, there is action, introspection and evolution in the relationship between the characters. Ramba Ral does not deny himself, does his job but makes a serious mistake, however, his figure, in doing so, is strengthened by a human point of view. Amuro is a champion, he lacks only the gift of being able to fly without wings. Sayla also seems to be her, increasingly a key element of the story. |
 |
| In the middle of a fight Ramba Ral forgot to fight....been waiting for that line. Ramba Ral I salute you. |
 |
| Oh boy what a turn in events! Especially that ending was damn impressive, let's see what happens next! |
 |
| Definitely one of the best episodes so far, and the preview for the next episode looks very interesting! |
| That was an intense episode and Rambal Ral went out with a bang. The beginning showed how big of a problem White Base was having with personnel, but it looks like everyone came together at the end. Amuro Ray Kill Count: 0 mobile suit kills this episode 19 kills total |
| Okay.. so the mini rebellion is what people are talking about.. who cares! What a great episode and I am surprised this thread was not more active than the others. This was one of the best episodes for me in the series. Was tough seeing the young crew get killed by the Zeon soldries. And how about the teamwork from White Base! Everybody stepped up even with all the chaos amongst the team. |
| Interesting to see some insight into White Base's hottest officer! I also like how at first everyone was okay with Sayla hopping aboard Gundam, then when shit got real, Bright was like "oh Amuro its all up to you now". Great episode, as always. |
| What a crazy episode and to think that it started with a chat on the floor cushions. |
| Ral.. Damn,can't believe it, he was a great guy. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Sayla was bad at piloting again and Ramba Ral was a cool guy/villain. I hope his wife fights back and becomes a villain herself not like Garma's fiance, who just dies by slipping on a Zaku head... |
 |
| To be honest, I'm not bigfan of ramba ral however I do liked of how he is a genius tactician. But it an old anime I haven't watched it for decades. It brings alot of memories in the my childhood. |
  "There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything is exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself" - Musashi miyamoto |
| Ramba Ral deserved better than to be manipulated by M'Quve into undertaking a suicide mission. It seems like the most common tactic from the Zeon side is to backstab your comrades. |
 |
| Ramba Ral went out with a bang! But the explosion didn't even harm the Gundam's hand? |
 |
| This had to be the sickest episode yet. To see Ramba Ral, the manliest of men, choose to fight without supplies and go in on foot as the crew of White Base was split apart created a dynamic like we haven't seen before. Outside of the fact that one Zeon commander tricked another into a suicide mission! Specifically seeing the merge of man on man gunfire with the Gundam fighting and coming through the wall at the end to meet Ramba Ral made combat that felt intense and intricate, all with a great sense of scale and flow. Through the combat we had Amuro happy to see Sayla pilot the Gundam with his instructions, perhaps going to show that he may find pride as a soldier rather than staking everything in being a Gundam pilot. Something mirrored in Ramba Ral himself as a man who will fight hand to hand if he has to. His mobile suit didn't define him, perhaps why Amuro thought of his comment when fighting hand to hand himself. We also got a sense of respect on both sides, Ramba Ral once again sparing Fraw Bow, along with the soldier who wanted Kikka out of the chaos. This all went to make the kamikaze ending of Ramba and the begging for Hamon to retreat all the more powerful. Although Ramba Ral was an enemy, I think their crew can learn a lot from him and his sense of honor, duty and strength. Beyond these elements, Ramba Ral was taken aback by Sayla, calling her your highness and showing a shared past. This advanced her and Char's history, and in the brief moment this occurred, letting his guard down, Ryu and Ramba Ral traded gunfire. It was some of the most human on human danger a main cast member has been in, making me worried for him and Ramba Ral. Ryu got some development this episode, showing his loyalty to White Base and his very tough love which meant if he was going to die, now wouldn't be a bad time. It would be something else the crew could learn from. |
| I knew what Ramba Ral is to Sayla since I watched the Origin first lmao. M'quve is really a bastard! He's planning to do something bad in the future! It was cool to see Ramba Ral and the rest fight in that poor state, such a pity that he died. Kinda forced that Frau life was spared while the rest died but nevermind. |
| 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. |
| "Ramba Ral forgot to fight". I didn't realize that he knew Sayla. I'm interested in learning more of her and Char's backstory. This was a fairly gruesome episode. |
| Man, that was an amazing episode. Ramba Ral was a great enemy and super likable. I generally love how the Zeon soldiers show compassion. Like Ramba not wanting to kill Fraw Bow or that one Zeon guy not wanting to blow up a kid. They aren't faceless evil guys. Ramba Ral's death hit me a little. It seems like they're wasting cool characters too much in this show. Would've liked to see him return later down the line, just like Garma. So Sayla's straight up a princess, huh? Totally forgot about that part. I thought she was "just" the sister of an important military man, but I guess that means Char is royalty as well. Hamon is about to take revenge for a husband, but I doubt that'll work out for her. I see some red flags for her... |
