Axis being an asteroid (or something or whatever) on a collision course with Granada seemed to come out of the blue. I don't remember hearing anything about that. Glad some characters are dying now. Jerid seems to have fucked off to somewhere. Hopefully he won't slip away alive and haunt ZZ with his bullshit "piloting abilities" that don't allow him to ever be successful in any operation.

Autistic fake ass imouto is now out of the way. Woohoo!

Honestly, I was getting tired of Kamille getting out of the Gundam and trying to reason with every mentally challenged female pilot he met. I mean, I know the newtype connection thingy was supposed to play a part in his reactions but I just couldn't buy it, especially considering the countless pilots he has already killed. That being said I'm satisfied to see the deaths he's responsible for are finally starting to take their toll on his emotional stability, even though it took killing an infiltrated enemy pilot that only ever acted like your nonexistent 4 years old retarded little sister for that shit to happen.

I'm also disappointed by Bask's death: not that I expected anything approaching Kicilia levels of badassery, but it was still underwhelming. Aside from that, it was a good episode.

First great episode n a while. This is how you wind down a series!! Kamille having to consciously take the kill shot against Rossamia was probably the hardest thing this or the previous series ever forced on a protagonist. I feel they usually have people jump in front of others, but he made the choice her or the Argama, and he made the right choice.

I was happy for Bask to have an anonymous death, he didn't deserve any better, the aggressive bully deserved to be wiped away wiout even a lingering shot goodbye.

The death toll is going to get huge, isn't it?

The last chance for Camille to succeed in his enterprise to save an "ennemy"... is gone. He failed on the path he chose and I felt really bad for him. People dislike/hate Rosamya but she was another incarnation of the horror of the war. Those girls (Rosamia, Four, Sara) did not really choose to be on the battlefield, someone else decided for them (even Sara, since she was under influence). I think that is the reason why Camille wished to free them from the war.
After last episode psychic stimulation, he seems weakened. Now, he's haunted by his failures. I don't know why but the way he made Char shut up at the end of the episode left me sad.
I still prefer Amuro personally, but Camille's character is very interesting since he didn't totally gave himself up to others expectations but struggled to keep his own desire in the middle of a war.

I wonder if he will try to compensate those errors by "de-subjugate" Reccoa.

@Rei366 He tried his best, but war finally broke him. I am someone who struggled mightily to immerse myself in this show but this episode was pretty damn sad.

@Lease_of_Life This explains your rythm. ^^ I'm glad I am not the only one who had issues to follow Zeta (despite the fact I don't need to feel attachment or anything like that to hear a story). I don't know if you intend to watch Double Zeta and the movie finale of Gundam but you will probably face the same problem then (to be exact, ZZ has its own way to make your road hard while the movie's hardships are partially similar to Zeta)
It might be stupid to have characters existing and dying only to develop something about the hero but I liked it here.

The madness of Tomino has no limits, continued the slaughter of gentle maidens: it is now the turn of the "lunatic" Rosamia, I'm sorry for her. Narration again inspired by the succession of events. Kamille grew a lot, compared to the beginning, wow!
Even Bask's death is quite violent, but not as "spectacular" as that of Rosamia.

That was a tough choice to make. I think all the killing has started to change Kamille and not for the better...

On a side note:
Jamitov is gone and in this episode Bask Om is a gonner, I hope Jerid is the next one...

The biggest problem with this episode is that it was poorly constructed. A door stops one of the most powerful gundams ever built, forcing both pilots to fight in their normal suits. A whirlwind somehow pulls Kamille and Rosamia from no atmosphere to atmosphere right where Fa is. Fa says her piece and Kamille and Rosamia run back to their gundams and proceed to move them. Rosamia also somehow got her lasers to work again. She goes berserk and Kamille finally kills her quite easily, though she wasn't moving much. My favorite part in all of this is that I literraly said "What just happened?" when I saw Rosamia step into the residential area, only for her to ask that exact same question seconds later.

What I found most disappointing is that three key events became afterthoughts. The first major bad guy, Bask, dies in an anticlimatic fashion, Reccoa had what was probably her finest hour, and Torres saves the day by actually getting the asteroid to be deflected. Each of these moments deserve significantly more recognition than this anime gave them, just to allow Kamille to kill a Four clone that the anime wasn't even trying to hide.

I'm a sucker for drama and this episode did a pretty good job. Rosamias death was a safe one, yet it was still sad to see that Kamille couldn't save her.

Glad to see that Bask is gone, but boi , his death scene wasn't as good as I hoped for.

Happy to see Bask was killed, even though it was a little underwhelming. Rosamia was killed too which was what I was hoping for since she was just getting in the way

gotta say one of the dumbest this about this series is the cyber newtypes they are annoying as fuck and really hurts the series

the only one i could say wasnt bad was sarah but my god is these cyber new types annoying cause all of them played out the exact same way but now finally they're all gone so no more annoying bs

another good thing this ep the bald guy finally died another person wish have died sooner i didnt like him ever since 0083 and seeing him here made it worse but finally he's dead

now just need Katz, Reccoa and Jerid to get dealt with and all will be good only 2 eps left so hope things end good

Isn’t it convenient that Axis decided to fall on Granada of all places?

Poor Kamille got schizophrenia with all those voices in his head. War traumatizes people, kids!

Bask Om is finally dead. We didn't even get to see his eyes (though there's like one picture of him without glasses on a concept art sheet or something like that, look it up on gundam wiki).

Zeta is at its best when it focuses on political intrigue, military operations, action scenes. It's at its worst when it attempts character drama. That's my conclusion.

They're starting to kill characters at this point, really? Its too late. This anime is rushed sadly. Too many time wasted on pointless battles and drama. Some changes in the plot and it could be much better.

Poor Rosamia. She deserved better. She may have been a discount four but the poor thing didn't deserve to died by the guy she confused as her Brother. Bask low. He deserved worse. The guy came up with a horrid plan to kill Kamille parents in the vacuum of space. Been up to who know what since and he's killed by a character no one likes.

I think the writers are trying to piss of the viewers at this point.

Don't know why they didn't put the usual "death jingle/tune" when Rosamia died, it kind of became a habit in this series

What the heck was Yazan doing in this episode? He did nothing, much less trying to save Bask, maybe by Scirocco's orders? And yes, disappointing death for sure, it could have been shown differently, at least like the generals in MSG, with an angle that left a slightly different impression.

These last episodes are good but yes they feel rushed. I agree with the ones saying it should have been explored/expanded better

Well, Rosamia turned out to be a clone of sorts. Too bad we didn't get that like ten episodes before. And Bask going out like that. My word, this show is so lazy.

Well, there go 2 characters in one fell swoop. Can't say i'm too torn up since Rosamia was annoying and Bask was super generic, but it was pretty brutal. Kamille also seems to be really leaning into his role as a newtype, and not necessarily in a good way. His development has actually been one of the better parts of the series for me.

48 episode of build up only to have the most uninteresting and boring death ever, for both jamitov and bask.

@Lease_of_Life This. The show increasingly lost me post Reccoa reccoaing all over the plot, but this episode actually kinda got me. Welp, Zeta has two more episodes to lose me again, and considering the way things havd been going, i have no doubt that it will.
