| Casualties of War. Never a more aptly named chapter. Katz's death was unexpected, but on the other hand he has to be one of the most annoying characters ever, so I didn't mourn his loss. Ditto Jarid. And Reccoa just couldn't make it after her treason. And Kamille is finally showing some of that true Newtype power. Took him long enough I get the feeling that the last chapter will give us even more death. |

| That was a pretty spectacular episodes I must say. I really hope Amuro shows up to kick some ass in the last ep. Even if its just for five minutes |
GodHimselfx100 said: Would have been a perfect episode if not for the magic newtype powers that ruined it. Way to throw skill and mech details out of the window and just cheese your way to a win. agreed |
| Epic episode. |
| TONKATSU!!!! Thank god hes dead. One of the more annoying characters. Pretty much face palmed at the "Lets sacrifice an entire ship of people to help 1 mobile suit" and yeah Magical newtype shield is pretty bullshit. LOL when Kamille just opens his visor for no reason, holy shit that was funny. |

| Holy crap. Katz and most of all Reccoa dead (everytime she started talking about her BS my head hurt)! YES! THANK YOU! I expected a better death for Jerid O.o Man..this series is crazy! Emma please don't die!! :( |
| Wow this episode was insane! loads of characters died and Kamille went super Newtype mode, awesome episode. |
| So many important characters died in this episode: Katz, Reccoa, Jerid, Yazan, Henken and his entire crew, DAMN! Definitely the best episode of the series so far, off to the last! |
| Oh, Katz died. Finally. I though he was going to have plot armour to the end. What is wrong with Kamille? He opens his visor in space and then he starts to talk about how people while being in middle of huge space battle? Well, people die in war you know. Kamille has huge killcount and now he starts to talk how people die in war? It was boumd to happen sometimes to your side too. You cannot be only one killing people... How did Radish even get destroyed? Haven't they survived from worse bombing runs before just ok and now the whole ship explodes? What was that power shell around Zeta in the end? |
| Good that Reccoa died. Yeah I didn't see either her problem. Made me not care about her at all. OH almost forgot the moment I've been waiting for. JERID HAS BEEN SENT TO HELL VALHALLA. Spice up the barbeque, today we will party like no tomorrow. |

Plate said: My expression during this episode: Okay, I lol'd. This episode was pretty ridiculous overall. The many wonderful deaths in this episode helped, but I'm disappointed with Jerid's death. I was hoping for him to die slowly and with realization that he can't ever win. Katz dying was unexpected, but honestly, his character was basically Kamille 2.0 by the end so I can't feel bad. I just feel bad for Hayato and Fraw when they learned how much fail he was, even with dying. Reccoa dying was great. I never got how she can complain about men ignoring her when she continually joins military endeavors when there's no place for that kind of thing. What a selfish, egoistical woman. I wish Emma called her out on that. |
| shocking episode. I was really in disbelief that katz died, unlike the first series i really liked alot of the characters that died(well fuck jerid his death was a long time coming I cant wait to see thje final episode, just please for the love of god let emma kamille and fa live |

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 |
| So many deaths this episode and some were unexpected. I'm glad that piece of shit Jerid finally died. |
 |
YES,YES,YEEEEESSSSS.....!!!!!!!!.........FINALLY KATZ IS DEAD,AND RECOA TOO The simple fact that katz died makes this the best zeta episode ever,i can even forgive the super gayan gundam |
 |
| Amazing and tragic episode!! Lots of things happened so let's start off with this. FUCKING FINALLY!!!! I have never been happy all this time!! They did it! They finally fucking killed that stupid brat Katz. It's been a long journey and i'm glad you piece of shit died in that way. blown up in a wrecked ship where you belong. Funny Kamille was giving him advice that attitude will kill him someday. Looks like he hit the lottery right now! Glad you died Katz. No more hijacking Mobile Suit and your shitty piloting skills. Thank You Yazan for saving us the trouble with this brat. Now you can spend eternity with Sarah in your dreams. I do feel bad for Emma for not being able to do anything, but at least he died! Though i don't know what they did with her face when someone dies. I do feel bad also for Char, Bright and Kamille if they were to tell this news to Amuro and Frau. It definitely is a mistake to send him into space in the first place. Henken!!!! I can't believe Radish is going down, but at least you were able to protect Emma till the end. It's a good thing she didn't board Radish or she would have perish along them. And yes the fight with Jerid was very anticlimatic and ended too quickly. Even their first fight lasted much longer than this. I understand they wanted to show when Kamille get's angry as hell, he would kill you in an instant. Still wish they extended this till the end of the episode. Jerid dies with Radish and Henken. Damn he'll never get his revenge for sure. I do wonder what he was trying to say at the end. "You're my?" Brother, Father or what O__O Damn Emma went crazy for a second, but Kamille even get's crazier for removing that helmet on space. I don't know what's the point of that Kamille :P Guess he wants to show that he's strong?? :P Oh Reccoa. I actually thought Char would finish her life, but Emma is definitely a perfect person to end her reign. I actually thought Emma died as well, glad she was safe!! I don't know what Reccoa is saying about how men use and defile women. Were she raped back then?? Did Char did something bad to her? What the hell are you trying to say!?! Instead of asking for help you refuse till the end and instead acknowledge a nobody like Paptimus who you only saw in one mission and fell for him. Oh well RIP Reccoa. Even though your a hypocrite, at least your not worst as that punk Katz. And yeah Zeta emitting a purple like aura that bounces off beam and all O___O WTF INDEED!! I do wonder this is where a lot of future Gundam's get their near invincible armor. Especially Gundam 00 and it's Trans-AM system. Yazan supposedly died?? I saw his cockpit manage to escape in the last second. Char vs Hamon vs Paptimus!! I hope Char destroys both with just his Hyaku Shiki! Come on Red Comet Char Aznable! Prove why you are the best pilot on the planet along with Amuro and Kamile!!! hank You once again Tomino for killing Katz!! That scene alone made this episode one of the best for sure!! Last episode!! Can't believe we're at the finale! T____T Let's Go Zeta Gundam!!!!!! |
Hand_of_the_King said: YES,YES,YEEEEESSSSS.....!!!!!!!!.........FINALLY KATZ IS DEAD,AND RECOA TOO The simple fact that katz died makes this the best zeta episode ever,i can even forgive the super gayan gundam IKR, I had like the biggest smile when I watched this episode, 10/10. |
 |
| Kamille going pink and destroying Yazan's MS is my all time favorite Gundam scene. |
| I love you Emma! you finally did what I wanted for the past 10 episodes. |
| This episode was all over the fucking place, in fact the series has been in a frenzy to try and tie itself up in the remaining episodes since like episode 45. They spent the entire show doing those dumb "pew pew oh shit I'm damaged better retreat I'll get you next time kisama!" cop outs to end fights and suddenly they realised they have to start tragically killing people off. Jerid didn't get the final rival showdown he deserved, the way they offed him was downright criminal. Reccoa and Emma were talking to each other and the next fucking second they're stabbing each other. Fuck pacing, we gotta make time to have Camille hulk the fuck out. |
| This is getting pretty stupid and obnoxious. EVERYONE IS DYING |
Splitter said: Katz, Jerid and Reccoa... all dead. GOD BLESS YOU, TOMINO! ^o^ This I don't have anything else to say. |
| So this is the infamous Kill 'em All episode. Katz being reckless,slamming into an asteroid and getting himself killed (couldn't help but laugh,an idiot till the very end). Henken really sacrificed the entire Radish crew for Emma!!! After 49 episodes of plot armor Jerid finally died (his death was so fucking anticlimactic). Reccoa died,thank you Tomino you did good. Kamille opening his helmet in space,this nigga is insane. |
Basically me when Reccoa died Bye, Felicia ! I was getting tired of Jerid's hypocrisy so good riddance as well. But I admit that I felt a bit sad for Katz: can't believe I would ever say that one day but, even though he was a complete failure as a soldier he was still essentially a kid. He simply wasn't cut out for this and he paid the highest price for his recklessness. The entire Radish white-knighting Emma was some major facepalm material though: we know you'd had a crush on her for a long time already, but how could you just sacrifice hundreds of people for the sake of a single person you like, Henken? It was a pretty great episode but that Newtype raging powerup asspull was just... eh. |

| Welp people falling like flies so I don't think it made much impact for me, at least some shitty characters died though. And just think how good it would be for the world if Scirocco won, i'm rooting for Scirocco right now, I think he's the one will make it all better... But of course the series won't end that way. |
| First, the score... 5/5, wait, 1/5, no, 4/5... I absolutely don't know how I feel about this episode: ?/5. I am strange because when Katz accident started, I was rather incredulous. After surviving out of pure luck through all his conscious mistakes and deadly behaviors, he was so sure of himself he just died accidentally like this?! That was very logical but at the same time disturbing. I certainly did not feel any joy: he was a boy who never fitted in a military role, whose father send on the battlefield of a civil war. Not only Hayato, Char (whose past doesn't make it apt to "mentor" children) and after a moment Amuro (I think he wasn't really fond of the idea at first: he was right!) supported him on that. Those people were blind and made no sense. Maybe they fought "we did it, why couldn't he?", but he wasn't like them. Anyway, I did not feel any joy about it and, I am sad for Fraw (and Bright who always tried to restrict him) and maybe because I still see him as this little boy who was part of the old White Base "family". Jerid? I was sure he would survived when Camille blew him away like usual and then he was caught in the Raddish explosion. Very unexpected too (I saw him as an angry survivor soldier after the defeat of the Titans), his death was pathetic but in the continuation of what happened to him every episode until now. So, Kamille is able to channel and materialize his psychic strength as a coating for his armor and a blade for his beam saber ? O_o I knew he was above Amuro in terms of NT abilities but even after Scirocco and Harman show-off I didn't thought he would use his mental for battle. He seems more close to the empathic/understanding part of the NT concept than the military application of NT power. I don't understand why people are laughing or shouting after this scene, it is not something foreign to Gundam 0079 and Zeta (particularly Zeta where various NT characters displayed ESP abilities far stronger than what was seen before). I was troubled by the fact his post-deaths confusion was great enough to give him a death wish. The instant was pretty unpleasant. Reccoa... Reccoa, Reccoa, Reccoa! She disappointed me so much, I can't stand her speech about sexes. Because of that, I am glad it was Emma, a fellow female soldier, who disposed of her. I know Guru Paptimus is very efficient in his ways and stated he would like to make a woman reign over the world to change things for the better but he actually is just using women as tools (men too, besides most men and women on a battlefield are tools in the conflict but whatever). And what does Reccoa Londe says before her death? That men love war and use women... With such resented things, she sure choosed the right activities (guerilla, rogue military...) thanks to her need of thrills and the right persons to revolve around (Char Aznable, Paptimus Scirocco). But it would have been better if Emma had survived the duel, showing the superiority of her womanhood over Miss Londe's sexual ideology. I was happy to see her get out of her Gundam but those stupid anime makers only wanted to make a false joy to their audience by killing her right after. -_- The fact they showed her being totally shocked after the Raddish lost then still willing and being able to fight was great. Harman can't focus on her own order/strategy as soon as Char shows up. Is she so pissed off that he tried to kill her? On one hand, so much deaths in a short moment in a battle make the episode look very rushed (especially after all the useless episodes of wandering and all those escaped deadly situations); on the other hand, it is perfectly plausible in war that one day "nothing" happens while in the next battle the death toll rises up. Also, we had lots of casualties in every episode until now but we weren't really conscious of it because most of them were "anonymous soldiers". And those ones were hugely more anonymous than the regular losts in Gundam 0079 (at least in my opinion). I suppose Scirocco, Yazan, Haaman Kharn to die if they want to conclude the conflict, maybe Mineva too (I hope not) just to be sure noone can use her as puppet king anymore. But I fear Camille will have to endure the loss of Fa and maybe some other crew members just to make sure he ends up all alone. (maybe "Quattro-tai" too since he was like a father figure) |

| Damn, i am now depressed. This series is so much darker than the original! |
| This was an amazing episode for the sole reason that Katz and Jerid were killed. |
 |
Came here to post this. It's pretty hard to hold grudge against an episode which kills off the three most annoying and retarded characters. |
Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| Damn what an episode! Really loved it, and I am really wondering what the last episode will have to offer! |
 |
| Tremendous thread. I loved how everybody rejoiced in the deaths of Katz and Reccoa (I personally never disliked Jerid)! It sucked seeing the Radish crew die and the captain of Radish never get his date with Emma. When Reccoa and Emma were battling I was thinking "You better not kill off Emma and have Reccoa live or I'm going to boycott the last episode." This episode was alright, but sadly it feels like I've been watching Zeta out of habit for the last 15 or so episodes :(. |
| Tomino wanted to see them all dead and so he was. |
 |
| I find it funny that this episode decided to be logical… Katz went and disobeyed order (like he did in previous episodes) in a machine that isn’t fit for combat, he is dead. Henken Bekkener protecting one mobile suit & pilot over a battle ship (even tho I understand him, he was in love), for this irrational decision he paid with his life. He & his crew are dead. Jerid a punk who was obsessed with MC to the point of not improving himself, he is dead (like the b*tch he is) why dedicate him so much time if Yazan did what he was supposed to do as an antagonist/villain *Facepalm* Reccoa and her quest into betrayal finally got an opponent who didn’t give a rat a$$ about her previously being an ally (she killed innocents people in the middle of her quest), she is dead. Emma like many other characters (in previous episode & this one) leaves her mobile suit (granted it was wrecked but nonetheless was safer that being outside) is injured(?) or dead(?). That is all that I wanted in previous episode when characters had erratic behaviors in the middle of combat. But sadly, they choose to do it in the antepenultimate episode instead of doing it early *Sigh* |
 |
| With the exceptions of the deaths, I struggle to think of anything new that has happened. Every character pretty much something similar to what they said before, and there was no change or growth at all. This episode showed how little growth there actually was. The only thing new was Kamille's ability to just say "nope" to laser beams. Kamille Bidan Kill Count: 2 Kill this episode 70 Kills total |
| Wow, this episode was quite something. Katz had a fitting end for someone as reckless as him and it even gave me some chills. Let's see if the last episode will top this madness. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Brutal episode. Didn't expect Katz to die. Must admit I felt bit sorry he died even though I couldn't stand him. I am glad Reccoa finally died tho. I am really sad for Captain Henken. Hope Emma will be okay. |
| This was an excellent episode. Katz, Captain Hanken, Reccoa, Jerid, Yazan killed and The Radish destroyed. I'm kinda relieved that Katz died since he was being so annoying and selfish. I'm happy that he found peace and believed he would see Sarah again in the next life though. Jerids death was quite underwhelming though. Reccoa was getting out of hand, trying to kill the people she started off helping. Her reasoning for switching sides was really stupid.. because she felt that Men only boss Woman around and treat them unequally and that no one can tell her what to do. Such a dumb reason to want to kill the people you helped to begin with. |
 |
| I'd like to think Kamille's Newtype powers warped Yazan's perception instead actually forming a barrier and energy sword. Otherwise this "super robot" thing felt extremely out of place. |
| Thank GOD they finally got Katz. I've been waiting for that ever since he went stupid over Sarah and started acting like the snotty teenager he is. The rest of the episode was really annoying though. I mean sure these are supposed to be real people that have emotions and are affected by the deaths of their comrades, especially if you're a space mutant with heightened empathy senses, but they're also supposed to be soldiers. Kamille I can understand because he was just a kid that kinda fell into war, but even Emma? She was trained as a soldier for the god damn Titans! How in the world was she not conditioned to be unaffected by that? Good riddance Katz and Reccoa. |
 |
| I know it is satisfying to watch awful characters die, but that doesn't make this episode good, just lazy. I'm sorry for Katz, he was a retarded kid, yes, but so were Amuro and especially Kamille, who got eventually rewarded (kind of). He was just a victim of bad writers, who decided to remove his plot armor just because they didn't know how to end this show. |
