Why did Trowa suddenly join the circus? Doesn't he have missions?

Even so. Trowa is definitely a better pilot the Quatre. I like him the less.

Duo has the best Gundam out of the 5 pilots. Deathscythe ^^

Wing on a fight again~! Woot~! Relena and Heero danced! Sweet~ Even though Heero's face is still emotionless.

I always have to laugh when Heero does things what doesn't suit him. Like dancing, or horse riding~

I'm under the slight impression that Relena wants to die.

Also those classmates really need a life, all they ever do is talk about her.

nice to relieve the toonami days, good episode.

btw i think if i ever go crazy and i have nothing to loose, ill try the Heero strategy of ripping of an invitation to a party then wiping a tear of crazy girls eye then telling her i will kill her XD

Ugh, I know right?
They treat her as though she's a damn celebrity.
Relena's character is just growing up though.
And is most likely traumatized from seeing her "father" die before her eyes.

lol a towering mobile suit is coming towards her and she just stands there without flinching. Relena has balls of steel.

5/5

So, Zechs(?) and Relena are related, somehow, right? It's almost like Sayla and Char, from the original Gundam.

I wonder how can OZ be so relaxed when such a famous girl knows all about their secret. Why can't she just tell it to some allies?

Wow... So this show is based on the concept that girls like dangerous a$$ holes (of course in anime they usually have a heart of gold underneath). Circus girl with Troa, Relina with Heero. How can you tell from looking at someone that they want to die (knife throwing scene)? I'm mad Relina asks him if he's gonna kill her he says yes, and then they dance together?!?! Not only is the character Relina annoying she is also kinda disturbing. She's pining over a guy that said he would kill her twice and pointed a gun at her, I think that reflects an abusive relationship mentality.

I'm starting to think this show is a bit sexist...

Other than that this episode was pretty good. I like how they guy who ignores his moral inclination not to fire upon a high school gets to be the first on shot down! lol
Love and Peace!!!

excellent episode :)

amazing fight scenes and lots of things we learned from this episode ^^

seems Relena didn't tell her mother about her's father's dying words, but i think her mother already knows what's up.

man Heero Yuy can be confusing at times. he wants Relena dead all this time, yet he dances with her and even saves her from being killed.

Trowa is one daring beast. he didn't even tried to dodge the knife attack from Catherine. if Catherine were to screw up with the act she could have killed Trowa head first.

love Catherine's one blink eye(sorry don't know what's it called) soo cute and lovely ^^

even Duo is worried about Heero Yuy! guess he's just caring kind of guy.

serves you right getting all of you men killed Lady Une! it seems Zechs may really be related to Relena after all huh?

Heero Yuy having some conflict within him. at least Relena's character is building up! i can't wait for the next episode for sure :)

LOL this post. Yeah well you know, a lot of anime/manga/stories have female characters that like badass/rude guys, and I guess it's no different here. But seriously, Relena is a confusing character, I wonder why she wants to die so much and why she's not afraid to die either. I'm guessing we'll learn later...? Or maybe she's just sick of those dumbass classmates of her that worship her all the time, she doesn't seem to have have any real friends. She needs some excitement in her life.

Heero is probably starting to fall for Relena since he can't seem to kill her, or at least he's getting interested in her in his own way. What an obvious development. Honestly for someone who is cold and only cares about his missions to not be able to kill a person who just keeps getting in his way, that's kind of weird, but of course, there's more to him than I think. I guess.

Treize knew about Relena and Zechs and still wanted to kill her?

OZ is making money off the war and doesn't want it to stop. So if the Alliance and Colonies want peace then why are these Gundam pilots attacking Earth? Doesn't make any sense. It's only helping OZ and making the Colonists look like terrorists.

Relena is so fucking weird, man. No idea what to think of a character that makes so little sense.

I mean, this is Gundam. Sexism is pretty much par for the course at this point.

I'm starting to like Relena more tbf. I kinda admire her nerves of steel, even if some of her actions don't really makes sense.
On the sexism topic: in Tomino's Gundam it was always expanded upon and I unironically think he tried to make some kind of feminist statements, albeit disjointed and bizarre (see Reccoa and whatever was happening in Victory). Here I don't know, but I'm not expecting that much.
