MSG franchise is renowned for its slaps.

That was a pretty decent one by Torres; sent her flying a good distance.

I term them Gundam slaps. Even for anime, Gundam's slaps are world renowned. I'm just glad the series is getting darker. Even incompetent goofs like Gottn can be dangerous.

This episode actually has more of the classic Gundam feel. Less comedy, more drama and casualties. Let's see if it keeps going that way.

Amazing episode! 10/10

I felt bad for Cecilia, and how Torres now thinks she is having a new life. Anyway, that was an amazing way to kill the enemies. I just feel bad about Gotton, he was a good villain.

Knew she would die by sacrificing herself, but damn that redeemed her somewhat.

Ah Torres thinking that Cecilia was going to be living all happy in the colony.

Also what a shameful display to see the MK II crawling around on the floor like that due to Chara.

Chara bullying Cecilia and her general escape was probably my favorite part in the whole ep. Cecilia's death felt a bit unnecessary; she must really love Torres to die because of his words. Another redheaded spy bites the dust.

I am surprised Gotton ended up dying since I totally expected him to stick with us for longer. I can't say I'll miss him.

I'm disappointed? So that's the big 'mood shift' when ZZ is supposed to get good? It killed off the only 'decent' (as in least annoying) Zeon characters if this season (well aside from haman). I hate Glemy, chara and especially Puru between 10 and 100 times more than Gottn, and now they are the only ones left and will probably get even more screen time...

I think I'll hate the second half more than the first :(
I probably regret this post by now.

You know what, that was actually more sad than over half the deaths in Zeta.

I do have a problem with Gotn's plan to blow up the shuttle though, I mean what exactly does he gain from blowing up a bunch of innocent people? seems like a real Titans thing to do.

YES!!!

I can finally say Gundam ZZ is back on track!! Finally!!! I knew they would kill Cecilia. Those red flags, the music, man it's good to be back!!!

I do wonder what Torres would look like once he hears the news from Judau about Cecilia.

Wow they even played Zeta's Transformation theme! Tbh i wanted the music where the death were about to happened.

Judau should have shout while crying just like Amuro and Kamille did.

In any case good stuff!! More of this please!

Can't wait for the next episode!

You know shit is about to go down when the slap counter suddenly goes up.

First half was stupid as usual, and Chara Soon handling the MK II in such a crude and shameless manner almost made me puke, but the zeta as fuck second half saved the episode.

I don't want Torres to get additional angst from learning about Cecilia's fate, but I do admit I'd be curious to see his reaction.

They inaugurate the switch back to drama with a return to the roots (0079): up to the hair colour, everything seemed Miharu-ish in this double-eps story.
Torres reactions were pretty good, I think.

Still, she really didn't have to die, why not leaving the mallet on the Suit?

Cecilia's death actually had an impact. In that regard, Gotton's demise was equally impactful. The return of drama was a rather welcome.

Wow!! This episode went into a dark direction. The Gundam Slaps are always a good omen that this episode will kick all sorts of ass.

Also felt bad for Cecilia, but the bitch manned up and went to the extreme. I really did not see Gotton's death happening, but holy crap was I stunned. Just a friggin awesome episode. The last 3-5 episodes have been really tremendous.

A lot of tension and emotion in this episode. Really did feel for Cecilia. An unnecessary death that is even more tragic considering that Torres (as far as I can tell) doesn't even realize it happened. Cecilia thinks she's doing something in order to prove she is not selfish or scared, and we just go on to the next episode like it's nothing. That really gets to me.

This series is starting to get serious. Cecilia could've avoided death, but instead she decided to do something that would help the Argama, and she suicided in the process.

I hope Torres doesn't find out.

The title for this two parter pretty much spilled the beans. This didn't do the impact any harm, tho. Cecillia's death made me pretty sad.

Tone was definitely more serious for this episode.
don't mind the beginning with Bright and Charla

Ah yes, another silly escape scene.

Also you know what? If you're a spy than try looking at the damn thing you're "awarded" with, e.g. while inside a car, not hold off until it's too late. Seriously, Cecilia should've just thrown the bomb away or leave it on the mobile suit, she had a jetpack to escape. But eh, at least she had the guts to take it away from the civilian ship. Torres did a good job at talking her into sanity.

Cecilia learned that she can't have her cake & eat it too, but met a tragic end as a result. On the bright side, she made her final delivery on time & give the Neo Zeons a hot serving ;)

Finally the show takes itself seriously and leaves aside that unbearable "Tom & Jerry"-like humor.
I think this is the first episode that I liked almost entirely.
