| I have to say that Carta's death was moving, and even now I'm still wondering who to back. And which side should come out. On the other hand, I kinda like Mika even more, I mean I bet he knows the "Death" game of the world, there is no room for a good old school battle, it's kill or be killed plain and simple. Anyone know when they are going to release the dubbed ver? (I'm hoping it's done well to seal off this amazing package) |
| I think things are getting a bit too bloody and violent for Merribit. She'll probably be leaving Tekkadan. I disliked Carta, but damn I was feeling bad for her when Mikazuki was brutally and mercilessly beating her down. However, did she really think that she could negotiate a fair fight with a bunch of "space rats"? Especially after she killed one of Tekkadan's own. |
 |
 That crying barbatos looks horrifying. Kind of ironic how Carta wanted a fair fight yet two episodes ago she chased the mobile suit worker with Buscuit and Orga in it while she was fighting Mika. Anyways seeing Mika crush all those mechs was so satisfying. dokidokidoing said: Celinha87 said: Me too!!! Hhahaha it's strange, but I like McGuillis and Gaelio so much! RIP Carta.. I like her.. and what a terrible death :( You do realise he's playing both of them like a fiddle, right? Yep just like Char  |
That's it! McGuillis is just the perfect Char Clone, he has the same personality. |
luccide said: Hmm.. With this episode, I am not too sure if Sunrise is taking this series seriously.. Why do they not have enough budget to animate this consistently or even take it up a notch? Slightly disappointed Still like the episode nonetheless (as a Gundam fan) Most of their better animators are tied up on Thunderbolt and Origin right now. More than likely a lot of this series gets outsourced unfortunately |
| Am I the only that feels like Tekkadan's more of an antagonist group role while the other's are the protagonists, these kids are scary as fck, not that I dont understand where they're coming from, I mean at a young age they had been abused and experimented on with those "araya shiki" but damn..... especially Mika, if they continue on like this then they'll most likely die. At least it isnt a far stretch to say that Mika wanted to reach the place that Orga was talking about turns out to become the after life, at least there you wont need food and a place to rest lol. |
  |
| Ein is now a Gundam *Setsuna glaring darts of jealousy in the distance* I liked Carta tbh, but she was fucking dumb this is war dumbass no one ain't gonna wait for you to finish talking or give you a fair duel especially after you killed one of their members. Her death was sad R.I.P. Mika being savage never gets old. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Wow Carta stayed true to her ideals to the very end. Expecting a fair fight from Tekkadan after killing one of them was her last mistake though. I keep asking this every week, but HOW are they gonna wrap this up in TWO episodes? |
Brobot said: so ein became a robot? setsuna from 00 would be pretty jealous if he saw that. it's also funny to see okada kinda reusing a plot point of her last series m3. carta's death was really brutal, even barbatos was crying  At least Setsuna can walk around outside of the 00 Quanta, Ein is pretty much stuck in there I bet. |
| That was cruel. Somehow I'm starting to root for Gjallarhorn, I don't know why. |
| I laughed at 3d birds, they just look so cheap and fake. Not a fan of the current development for Tekkadan kids, especially Ride and Takaki. I hope they'll snap out of it before more than half of the group is killed. I feel sorry for Carta, she was underutilized as a character. McGillis seems less and less sympatethic. Gaelio is good so he'll probably die soon. So, if the side materials say Carta's 17. that makes Chocolate Man and Gali-Gali like... 15? She looks older than them in the flashbacks. |
| Carta got what she deserved in the end. |
lord23 said: I like where Tekkadan is going their Humans that are pissed off about what happen to one of their one, It would be very strange if they didn't get pissed off which is why I love IBO its kinda realistic in that sense . It's not the first time one of their own got killed. Remember Shino's squad? They had a funeral, but no one swore revenge for them. I know Biscuit is a main character for us viewers, but for Tekkadan, every member should be of the same emotional importance. And those guys just got ignored because they were extras... But you're right, it is realistic, because they're behaving like children they are. |
| If someone who didn't know this series watched this episode first, they'd take Tekkadan as the enemy and Mika as a psychopath, which isn't exactly off tbh. McGillis is a dick of an enemy btw. He's basically double crossing everyone to the point I don't even understand his end game. Good episode, though. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

But you're right, it is realistic, because they're behaving like children they are. You're right, it's not the first time. But it's not like they didn't feel anything from it. From my perspective, it seems as if the kids were just bottling up their anger and stress of the situation. Who wouldn't be ticked off, living a life as bad as theirs while forced to watch others prosper from it? (I find it astonishing that of how civil they were acting up till now.) Biscuit's death just added to the fuel to the point where the bottle popped open, flooding the kids with nothing but negativity and anger. Orga could've prevented this, but he had a closer relationship with Biscuit than the rest so he was hit the most from this. I personally admire Merribit's efforts in trying to tame them, but it's really futile as she herself has never truly experienced what they have. One cannot truly understand another if he/she hadn't experienced it firsthand as well. |

| Watching at it twice, i have to say that i also don't know what McGillis is up to. If Gaelio dies though, i will be sad. Ein also is a very respectable character. |
neo_carnage5 said: I personally admire Merribit's efforts in trying to tame them, but it's really futile as she herself has never truly experienced what they have. One cannot truly understand another if he/she hadn't experienced it firsthand as well. Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking as I watched Merribit trying to talk to the kids in this episode. Her words hold no weight because she didn't have a childhood like them. She can only sympathize with what they've gone through, but she doesn't really understand how that's shaped their way of thinking. It was sort of horrific to see the way Mika beating up the enemies while the children stood there and kept watching, but Merribit is going to have to accept the fact that these children have seen a lot of death and brutality already. After that, she can try thinking from their POV before trying to change their current mentality. As for rooting for Gjallarhorn or Ein/Gaelio, idk. Unless they want to change Gjallarhorn or something, then maybe I'd root for them. Ein has a very narrow goal of seeking revenge (and what will he do after that?) while Gaelio does see the corruption in the organization, but seems goal-less otherwise (not saying I dislike Gaelio). Tekkadan might not be doing things in the best way, but they've always had that conviction to go home, to be able to live in a place they belong. I'd like to see them and Kudelia succeed. |

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 |
Smudy said: Watching at it twice, i have to say that i also don't know what McGillis is up to. If Gaelio dies though, i will be sad. Ein also is a very respectable character. Seems like it will be something similar to this. yuriski said: McGillis is such an asshole, holy shit. I am pretty sure he is using Carta's death as tool to destabilise his father's position. And then when Gaelio dies and he marries Almiria, he has become the heir to the Bauduin family. So, McGillis two "friends" might really be helping "reform" Gjallarhorn. |
| McGillis is one ruthless mastermind. To back his "friends" into a corner in order to hatch his plan for an internal upheaval within Gjallarhorn. Reading the comments in here it feels like a lot of people have the wrong idea of Gjallarhorn. It's a corrupt organisation that McGillis is trying to clean out from the inside, and is using all his power and influence to do so, regardless of the cost of life of his men and his "friends". Rooting for Gjallarhorn is like rooting for the evil Empire. You'd be better off rooting for McGillis' revolution to be a success instead. That said, I sympathize with Carta for being used by the man she loved. It was an honest display of honor on her part, yet you know that if McGillis had actually wanted to help her with her "last chance", then he would have sent out more units to help her. Instead, it was her little brother who showed up in the end to retrieve her battered, broken body. Out of all of this, the ones I'd be rooting for would probably be Kudelia's cause and maybe the Teiwaz crew, because every other party in this show has a ton of blood on their hands. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
HatsumiShinogu said: Yeah, I think he is sacrificing his "friends" for his cause... But man, if that is the case and I think it is " The end justifies the means" he is as brutal as Mika in the everything that is standing in my way gotta go! approach...While I like McGillis, wasn't he only fooling Carta? I bet he knew that she liked him and he used that to his advantage. I hate that he's trying to use Gaelio as well and I really hope that Gaelio doesn't end up killing him. That sure would be sad and tragic. Well, if Gaelio doesn't die, that is. |

A-Knight said: GhostofSide6 said: Wow, Mika just defeated three mobile suits by himself without even breaking a sweat. Riveting. What an interesting protagonist. Sarcasm? What's that? Also, all this talk of revenge can only mean one thing: they're going to learn about the endless cycle of revenge. And judging by how ruthless the series has been up until now, i can only assume that they are gonna have to learn the hard way (read: everybody's gonna fucking die). I still hope this series doesn't go down the path of cheap forgiveness like most other Gundams though, since forgiveness is meaningless without atonement. Cycle of revenge is bad, but cheap forgiveness is worse IMO. I'll be extremely disappointed if the series doesn't end with a complete bloodbath, with many named characters dying. It shows that revenge is bad and that the main characters' way of thinking is wrong, and doesn't completely change the entire tone of the series at the last moment in favor of 'UNDERSTANDING'.

Technically, he didn't defeat any suits, he slaughtered them. And they are pretty much grunts, with horrible pilots as proven in previous episodes. Still killed and humiliated an important named character without even struggling. It's not really anything new though. Mika pretty much only struggled against an enemy in the one episode where the Barbatos wasn't properly tuned (and boy, did they remind us of that). Even against Chocoman, he wasn't outclassed, just on equal ground. Still, at least there's quite a bit of interesting, well written characters to make up for the weak protagonist. Hell, they made the Peace Princess interesting. That's much more than i can say for Wing. |
