I wish for Shakti to receive the most horrifying death imaginable that Tomino can pull out of his magic hat for making some of the most rage-inducing moments I've seen in anime. Seriously, Uso has at least made baby-steps, improvements, not making bone-headed and potentially catastrophic decisions in the past few episodes, showing at least some growth and a bit of levelheadedness since meeting his father. Shakti has shown none in 44 episodes, and I don't think there's anything she can do to redeem herself in my eyes. She has now replaced Shinn Asuka as my most hated character in the Gundam-verse.

Just when I thought Shakti won't do anything stupid anymore, there she goes again. God, Uso and the others should just ignore her, she's nothing but trouble.

And Shakti again and her pointless actions for bringing peace. I really hope this time she can do something useful or at least won't cause anyone's death though I don't really think~
That propose was a bit straightforward, but ended up as a tragedy again. They were cute together ;_;

My god Shakti, how many more people have to die before you realize that Zanscare and bespa are a bunch of warmongers who are not going to listen to you. THey undermine your mom behind the scenes, USO'S MOM WAS KILLED BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR FOOLISH MOVES! What is it going to take god damn.

I'm starting to think that Tomino had some...issues regarding romance.

And I still like Shakti, even if she is an idiot at times.

Shakti was one of my favorite characters of this series, but she did something really BIZARRE in this episode.

That propostal in front of everyone was strange. Too bad they died, but I guess it was predictable.

I could let it slide the first few times because it was understandable, she didn't knew better. But after so many times, it's really getting annoying. She got so many people killed, and she doesn't even realize that it was her fault every time. She keeps blaming war and shit, instead of realizing that she's the one who got these people killed.

Geeze, it's indeed getting hard to not hate Shakti at this point. I do understand that she wants to believe in her mother who wishes to do good though. I'm almost certain something is going to go wrong. I hope not many have to pay for her decision.

WHY?! I thought Shakti got it, she can't stop the war with words, Zanscare will NEVER follow her because her mother isn't Zanscare will but just a puppet. How many times now? Four? And she even placed a "I do that so that nobody will have to die anymore like you, Mr, Mrs" !! Such warped innocence.
At least, Tassilo got his own Maria substitute. He must be happy, he doesn't even have to work to come closer to his plan !

The tragic couple was a nice thing, even for me who's not fond of this classic male soldier/female subordinate hidden lovers configuration. (it always look like power abuse)

What is a "psychicker" ? o_O A non-awakened Newtype? And they will just serve as "fuel"/"power batteries" for Maria to tap in when she will activate the humongous Psycomu device?


4/5 Beautiful space picture of the doomed lovers (the ring picture).


Is it just me or Fuala's face is becoming uglier/creepier with each episode since her return ?

This episode was really dumb. Literal psychics introduced outta nowhere, Shakti acting stupid for the n-th time for the sake of drama, the BESPA woman being a stubborn idiot until the very end, Minovsky particles conveniently blocking out radiowaves. I don't know, I get that it was supposed to be feels-y, but too much stupidity really ruined it.

I genuinely don't know what was the worst thing about this episode:the dumb idea of infiltrating,that contrived proposal and the half baked 'twisted irony' of them killing each other (at least it didn't end with them riding on bikes),Shakti being a complete moron and getting herself kidnapped for the hundred time, how all of a sudden they want to recycle Haman in the form of Fuala...

Just end this series already...

Why did Tomino not do us a favor and kill Shakti in the first episode? I hope she dies by being tortured slowly.

I thought this was a great episode.. but yeah, the Shakti nonsense was ridiculous. She's done this several times already and I can no longer blame age for this as Shakti has already seen how shitty Zanscare is.

Loved the mini drama at the end and the death of both pilots. Super sad and extremely well done.

"Beam spiral" was strange indeed.

Another mini love story, another time Shakti bounces to the other side lol

Fuala reminds me of Cima from 0083 (her looks, craziness, etc)

P.S. Marbet probably doesn't even know what exactly Angel Halo is (e.g. whether there's a residential district), yet she said that she was going to give birth there...weird that the Zanscare guys believed her but ok

I feel like Shakti would have come across better if she had just stayed in enemy hands after the first time she did this shit. She wasn't exactly doing much as part of the main cast anyway.

Really split on this episode, on the one hand I think that the two Bespa pilots' relationship was pretty well established for the short time we spent with them and the two of them flying in space, talking about their dreams which can never be fulfilled was quite tragic.
BUT GODDAMN, Shakti, girl, this is getting ridiculous, no one has listened to you before and there's no reason why they'd listen to you now, you have gotten way too many people killed with your naivety before, and now again, don't you realize that you've caused way more harm than good?

sad but expected ending for the zanscare couple.
i understand shakti's actions but i think they are too reckless, bespa doesn't care for peace and she should undestand that, the same thing goes for maria armonia who has been only used by the empire for their purposes

Shakti hate is unreal.

Why are we still here, just to suffer? There’s a lot of romance that just ends with the lovers dying. I think Tomino probably had love problems, and his depression just added to how brutal the romance is in this series.

Fuala is fucking psychotic, man.
