Despite the numerous deathflags raised, I suspect that this won't end on Mars. McGillis' smile was very knowing - as if he expected Rustal to want to wipe them out swiftly. It's very likely that McGillis went to reactivate whatever was left of the mobile armour and/or its sub-units. That will give T...

It's kind of odd that the manual repeatedly mentions that the swords are the only armament, yet the manual also mentions an electromagnetic cannon in each wing. Perhaps because those cannons are useless without Dainsleif rounds i.e. they're probably rail guns without any standard ammo. It would be ...

Bodies are bodies. It doesn't matter if a character is liked or not, it still counts in the tally, as popularity is subjective to the viewer. I happened to not give one whiff for most of the LM, and considering the Shrikes dropped like flies throughout the story, I only really felt myself sorry to ...

Now, now, SEED had a body count as high as V. Or was it Zeta? A large number drop dead before the Final Phase. The SEED body count was mostly filled with characters that we hardly missed. Except Mwu...but Destiny changed that. Meanwhile, in V Gundam the entire Shrike team and much of League Militai...

Well, if we look at the average of the endings of most UC series, the "victory" often comes at an extremely high cost. While everyone may think about Z Gundam, we ought to remember that V Gundam and 0083 also followed this trend. The recent decisive victories of Gundam 00 and Gundam SEED a...

Julietta will only be borg-ified if it's necessary for her survival. She's said twice that she wants to remain human and prove her worth to Rustal that way. I'm disappointed that Mika didn't make sure she was dead...like he usually does with enemies. Julietta is getting plot armour from Idiok. McGil...

Given the clues from this episode, the silhouette is likely a rebuilt Flaurios intended for Julietta. Considering her admiration of Gaelio/Vidar, it makes sense that she'd utilize left-over equipment.

Sad episode followed by sad episode....though this is more about the aftermath I'm impressed and angry with Julietta. After not being able to achieve much for the entire second season, she's suddenly able to go one-on-one with Mika for extended periods of time. It certainly didn't look like Mika was...

Am I the only one wondering if we're ever going to see Orga use his custom Shiden? At this point I'm assuming it was only shown to plug the options set. I'm sure Orga will only pilot it in a moment of absolute desperation.....that would probably only happen if Tekkadan lost (or is about to lose) it...

Given how much you're focusing on it, I rewatched the scene and I'm surprised you're so upset That Graze was from Julietta's team which was clearly what Rustal was depending on to take down the mobile suit forces until the Dainslef shots were ready. Those guys are obviously elite pilots. Also Mika s...

Yeah. Ein's brain was removed in the 1st place for the Graze Ein and somewhat recovered for the Vidar, this theory of Shino's mind in the AV system thing is way too out there to be even considered remotely plausible. His body was still in the cockpit of Graze Ein (we see few shot of it), although i...

I think Julietta deserves a Gundam far more than Idiok. With Idiok's dumb luck, he may actually take down Mika

Shino did have a bloodshot eye but he was also clearly wounded by the last Dainsleif attack. You could see sparks and such around the cockpit so he most likely was in severe pain while focusing which may have SEEMED Mika-like but it probably wasn't. Mika appears to be special in how he syncs with th...

Even with an upgrade, Hush doesn't have the combat experience and has the distinct disadvantage of no AV

The show has a habit of rushing through certain bits of character development in order to achieve plot points (Alston's death and the Earth arc) while lingering on others until an 'explosive conclusion' (Biscuit, and basically each member of Turbines) It's definitely disappointing that "nothing...

I'm pretty sure that Gaelio doesn't realize that Rustal is using him too

Rustal saw through McGillis' plan for quite a while and yet did nothing to warn the other 7 stars. He MUST have his own agenda in mind.

Agreed with AmuroNT1

It appears that the Dainsleif shots CAN be dodged though! Notice that neither McGillis, Mika nor Gaelio seem to have had much difficulty whereas it seems all of the surrounding forces have been wiped out!

Gaelio is indeed in an interesting position

He's out for revenge against McGillis rightfully but at the same time, he is happy to turn a blind-eye to Rustal's machinations. He ought to realize that he's not really in the right here

Well, no matter his ultimate fate, the series writers are going to great lengths to keep him alive - probably for some other reason than to piss us off The battle has taken a turn for the worst. Unless the orbital fleet steps in, McGillis has already lost even if he is able to defeat Kimaris Vidar a...

Also, my biggest question is: how did absolutely nobody on McGillis' side notice the douchebag with the Dainsleif launcher just merrily trotting his way up to the front lines? Most likely they didn't even recognize the weapon (Liza didn't) since they're so inexperienced - and were definitely distra...
