That's pretty nicely done by Mu. And Athrun & Dearka are helping against their common enemy.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Yeah, what the...why does the Earth's Force have three crazy mobile suit pilots? =_= And just when I was glad I didn't have to hear Yzak's annoying yells because this battle has nothing to do with ZAFT.

Aside from annoying crazy people, I loved the part with Mu and and Ramius!!! Finally! XD And awww yeah, didn't liked Dearka that much, but now I do! Plus Athrun as well! Earth's Force, you're going down!

Yea, I'm glad that they weren't just showing that in the cards without actually doing it. But wouldn't that make it a bit heavy/slow?

I was expecting for Athrun to turn and help Kira but Dearka was a shocker. Did not see that coming.

So mow its Freedom, Justice, Strike and Buster vs the earth forces....earth forces are so screwed...

Yeah the earth forces are screwed big time. But to be honest they deserved everything that's coming to them.

I mean the Raider, Calamity, and the Forbidden were modified just like the coordinators. The earth forces are using coordinators to fight coordinators. They very thing they detest and want to destroy.

The Earth Forces is a huge mess of hypocrisy, and I'm glad Kira and the gang are dissociating themselves from it.

We have been told that Earth forces have inferior technology to Orb and that Naturals are inferior to Coordinators, how the hell is it then that those 3 in those Gundams can take on Kira on Freedom no less? That makes no sense and is a huge plot hole IMO unless some heavy explaining comes on afterwards.

Mu la Flaga kissing Captain Ramius should become obligatory watching for every wishy washy male MC. That's how you convey your feelings for a woman.

Great episode.

I get the feeling those new pilots aren't going to get a lot of development. Then again, Dearka is getting some. Also worried about Flaga, he finally got some action from the captain and a Gundam... something bad is going to happen soon.

What's with all the new evil, crazed pilots?! And that Azrael guy seems REALLY evil and crazy.

That zaft prisoner had a point, the earth forces are just wasting what little manpower and resources they have left --- all just to try and subdue another country. I wonder if the net gain will be worth it in the end

Oh, and great now everyone's changing their alliances

Exciting and engaging from beginning until the narrative, the plot gives us yet another surprise, shifting goals on other fronts.
Add to this, also a combat interesting and new emotional ties; in the end we have a very good episode.
The entrance of Mu board of the Striker, is the best part of the episode, thanks also to the background music.
I think I love her character.
Another point in favor of this episode is the entry of female characters in command of MS, what a surprise, it reminds me of the years when I saw Mazinger.

These women pilots in the M1 Astray reminds me of the Shrike Team from Victory Gundam. Women pilots in mass produced gundams (or gundam-like suits)... I mean, what could go wrong right? Will they share the same fate? xD

This was my favorite episode so far. I knew there was a reason La Flaga was my fav character, he's a boss! But now I'm worried they are gonna kill him off... Hope not.
Loved how the Freedom, Strike, Justice, and Buster were all fighting on the same side. They are starting to form their own little team it looks like, neither Zaft nor Earth side.

Well, HD remaster had the absolute worst subs for this episode. Some lines of dialogue had no subs, including the next episode preview, one line even had Chinese subs, and there were many misspellings and, putting two words together that shouldn't be together, and some lack of capitalization here and there.

There are so many Gundam in the show right now, even more than we had in Wing

Why are those 3 new pilots crazy? Are they modified and that made them go crazy?

Finally the captain and Mu kissed!

Looks like they are SEED's version of Cyber Newtypes.

"Yawn"
Man this show really went into shit after that last battle between Athrun and kira.
The whole "Friend against friend" premise was the only unique thing about Seed and it's main source of tension, without it it's just another generic war story and the 0079 already did that much better than Seed.

Yes, Mu x Ramius finally took off. Good for them, I hope nothing happens to either of these two.

Finally the kiss between la Flaga and Ramius, i was waiting for this Moment.
This episode was amazing, i like the fact that everyone is fighting the common enemy, i was pretty shocked when dearka arrived with the buster Gundam, and glad to see that Athrun made the right choice.
The 3 federation pilots seem so evil.

I really dislike the end credits music, the previous one was so much better. For a cliffhanger like this you really need a banger of a tune to end on a high, and this current song ain't it.
