LOL! I thought the same thing. And outside of Sakurai's death a very bland episode. I particularly enjoyed how they built up the reveal of Kuroda as the villain if nobody had figured this out yet.
Ara ara.

I don't see how it took this long for them to reveal the answer behind who is behind Zodiac. Although this is kinda like how American Comics are and the American-made TV adaptations :P

This episode was one of the best ones... and it wasn't special... yeah... that says something about the series doesn't it...

Why did they reveal Minister to be behind Zodiac so dramatically... we've all known who he is... we've all known that it was/is Kuroda... that is if you've actually been watching the series...

Sakurai's dead? Hm... unexpected... but nicely done.

Why does Iron Man seem so powerless in this series? I can accept them showing Tony Stark as powerless... because basically without his technology he's just a brain... But the suit?

It's a shame they didn't choose the Extremis or the Bleeding Edge Armours... those two truly make him the "Iron Man"

Wolverine anime looks pretty shit to be honest. Don't know yet if i'm gonna watch it.

..Well they managed to kill off the only person in this show i actually liked. I really can't stand anyone else, they are all annoying.

I expected the final suit to be more spectacular as well. I guess bigger is better.

How dare they kill off Sakurai, I really liked him :( and his suit as well.

Imo the past few episodes have been some of the better in this series and even a bit exciting. Now I just hope they don't screw up the finale.

I just got to say. This series "kills" a lot of characters. Marvel is kinda infamous for it in their comics. Not surprising that the concept has leaked over into their anime projects. xD

Really i don't see how he can win. He got his ass kicked by a lot lesser opponents.
And fat Iron Man seems really strong since he killed Sakurai.

lol yeah I probably shouldn't have been so surprised, it was slightly hinted that this episode would lead to his death. I guess I just didn't want to believe it would happen ;_;

Bye-Bye, Sakurai~
It really is a shame, though.

Still, like already mentioned, Iron Man sucks against the minor enemies already. How is he supposed to handle the big boss and the remaining Zodiacs?

Damn. Sakurai died :(

I don't know how will Ironman handle the final boss. He's still powerless for now.

Who was that guy that Iron Man was fighting? I guess we'll find out next week.

And wow, they killed off Sakurai. Oh well.

Kuroda annoys me though. I hope he dies next week.

Another mech... It's great that there was a break in the last episode. In this one we still get to see more action with Ichiro eating a cup noodle.

Damn that ending! I quite liked Sakurai actually, but well with the next being the last episode, I really do wonder how they'll finish it!

Felt nothing for Sakurai's death. At this point, the finale might just be absolutely dreadful. Well, whatever.

Even though it's still cliched, I kind of liked this episode. I still don't care too much for the action scenes, they can still be a bit forgettable... but I'm glad that it was easier to tune out the shows flaws in this episode and just enjoy the ride in this one.
