Thank God Junko didn't die here, I was worried since last episode that she'd die seeing that she suddenly got more development, especially after what happened with the other Shrike team members.

Wow someone from the shrike team didn't die this episode! Still not sure if I like this yet, but it seems like it's getting better though.
I hate you all.

Junko isn't dead yet shocking.

Uso looks in good spirits now that he knows that Shakti is safe.

5/5

That was a remarkably upbeat episode.

While it seemed a bit silly at the time, the numerous deaths in the early episodes make episodes like this a lot more exciting as it always feels like death is just around the corner.

lol Junko didn't die. Well, it was better. Looks like she and Marbet are getting along now.

I hope Uso and Shakti meet again soon, they're so lovely :3

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. 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

To be honest, at this point I actually want her to die. They really screwed up her whole character by making her reckless. At this point she's more likely to get someone else killed.

"Shakti death flags" ? o_O


The last part of the first big battle is finally past me. It was long but for once it was never unpleasant. I hope the action will stay like this. But now I need something more than full mecha action for a while.
The weirdest element was the Beam Pistol. How can this be useful??

A mask under the helmet? Did Chronicle forget why he was wearing this "protection against Earth pollution" in the first place?!

4/5 Will Junko ever die?

Oh my God, I didn't even think about it but this was so obvious, considering the several apparent problems up to this episode and the production issues this show is supposed to have endured.

The Beam Pistol seemed a bit dumb: why not just use the light saber if the range is so limited anyway? Other than that another good episode. The battle was long but enjoyable and surprise: Junko lived! Never would've thought she'd survive so many death flags to be honest, since Gundam is usually pretty merciless with that stuff. Uso shouting in happiness about Shakti being alive got me: I really warmed up to this kid.

First thing I asked myself the very moment he started using his mask in space. I think at this point the writers have dropped all pretense of trying to give him a valid reason to wear it.

Junko did not die! What a fantastic episode. The battles were tremendous and we even saw some hand to hand combat.

I don't know how did Uso get those beam pistols but they were nice

Didn't expect Haro to be useful again

And Junko didn't die after all this talk...I guess Tomino's building her up a bit to kill her off later with greater impact

Cool battle, I enjoyed the action and character interactions

A mask under the helmet? Did Chronicle forget why he was wearing this "protection against Earth pollution" in the first place?!

Probably a habit at this point (plus drawing a big white texture is easier than animating facial expressions, so maybe there's something like that going on...)

I expected Junko to die in this episode but I'm glad she survived somehow. I'm enjoying this anime more and more.

Enjoyed this one quite a lot!
I’m really liking Junko’s character development, and I like that she and Uso can learn from each other and support each other. The end of this episode made me so happy, it’s just super wholesome seeing how excited Uso gets at the prospect of Shakti being alive. This series is underrated.
