Yeah, my favorite aspect of the series is Simon's transformation from a wimp to a badass that may just outbadass Kamina.

Great episode, sounds like i'm one of the only people who were slightly disappointed they got to Rossiu on time.. But they did do it in an ultra-cool way.

edit: okay I lie, very, very disappointed.

Simon has become like Kamina but with stronger mind, he is so different now than how he was on the firsts episodes. I love it.

Stronger mind than kamina, or stronger mind than what he was like before?

Because one of them is the correct answer and the other is not.

Rossiu being stopped from killing himself was a good thing. He was a cowardly criminal and suicide would have been the last step in his flight from danger and responsibility. I have to say that Simon's lack of anger was not such a good idea story-wise. Rossiu (and his buddies) had commited terrible crimes (out of fear and despair) and feeling anger toward him would have been justified. It was good however that he was advised to keep on living and try to become a better person. Nevertheless, he should have been made to account for his crimes and not left in control of the government! (Really that was completely absurd!).
Kinon wins hands down as the most mediocre, hypocritical and patheticl character ever! She, who supported Rossiu in his murderous folly, actually asks the man she had condemned to death to help her find her criminal lover! What is worse is that she is still finding excuses for Rossiu! "He was not going to kill you for selfish reasons" she says - just plain disgusting... The fact that she still is infatuated with Rossiu after all that was also quite repulsive to witness. I have rarely ever seen a fictional character having done so many despicable things. If only she had accepted the horror of her crimes and the foolishness of her attitude, she might have been more likeable. I hope she doesn't reappear in the series too much because she really gets on my nerves. :)
Anyway, it was an interesting episode, though, once again, I would have liked if Rossiu and his fascist buddies were not left in charge of the government.

Er, what crime did he commit?
I am seriously baffled at your political views.

I really shouldn't go on. But you need a hardcore lesson in politics and to learn what a real fascist is instead of the play word that children with no understanding throw around when they dislike the government.

Epic punch from Simon to Rossiu. As if Simon couldn't get any more badass!

Leeron hitting on Viral was funny and so was Kittan staring at Yoko's boobs the entire time lol.

The gang's back together for one final battle. This should be awesome but then again, when has this series failed to be awesome?

At first, I was a little turned off by the semi-athiest twist that was present in this episode. Just because you can't read the text or find evidence of the language, doesn't mean it wasn't real and is not the truth. That and the fact that Rossiu tried to cast judgement onto himself. He should have been painfully aware that only God can pass ultimate judgement.

All of that said, Kinon/Rossiu are too cute! I really want to see more of them. I don't want Rossiu to turn away from his faith, I mean, thats my favorite character in the show. I don't predict this, but if the show continues down the path of atheism, then I will drop the show.
Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER!

As I progress through these episodes, they just keep proving me wrong. I think how can they top this one...and then they do it! EPIC show. I'd give it an 11/10 if I could. Really digging Simon's character. Also, wardrobe changes FTW!

Great throwback to Kamina's punch to Simon before his death. Rossiu became 100x better and his relationship with Kinon is improving.

From the preview I can see how they put a lot more money into the last episodes. We've also reached the point of the beginning of the first episode. The final battle awaits.

I really loved the Rossiu/Kinon moment and I knew he was sad to sentence Simon to death.

He did need that punch though cause he tried to commit suicide good thing Simon woke him up.

I like everyone's new outfits especially Simon's.

I feel like Kittan and Dayakka has just received death flags I really hope they do not die.

I'm starting to wonder what secrets hides Coco.

I wanted to see Rossiu dead.

Finally it's going back to ep 1.

I hope Simon will have the same fate as Kamina is this Final Battle, also I hope 10% of them to come back alive.

One thing that I love about this anime is how every character gets development and is likable. This episode definitely proves that, especially with Rossiu, like, holy shit, he was actually good in this episode :O

Simon looks BADASS in his new outfit at the end. Boota is also badass, JUST SAYING

And, LOL Kittan can't stop staring at Yoko's sexy new outfit *neither can I heheheh*

Haha, loved Simon's ode to Kamina. "LET'S SEE YA GRIT THOSE TEE~~TH!!".

As much of a prick he was for putting Simon to death, I'm glad Rossiu didn't actually kill himself. That was a really touching moment when his father said "Rossiu! I think you did a fine job... You did an excellent job. Not everyone could've done what you did."

did rossiu just friendzone the girl? It seemed he was completely oblivious that she loves him. Nice episode and thankfully we saw again how terrible rossiu felt sending someone who he considers family to death. The new outfits are ok and yoko of cause being fanservice girl had star boobs. The more I see this series the more im confused of how yoko seems to be the poster character for the series. Shes ok though shes at her worst when she had kanima penis on the brain.
