Lmao, is one of the requirments to become a CB member to be mentally ill? Among the more important characters, Niel is the only one who seems to be normal so far.

Seems like they only recruited pilots that were mentally unstable, they need pilots like Heero from Gundam Wing. You would think an organization like Celestial Beings would have some sort of psychological exam for their pilots.

Anyway great episode.

T^T Such an emotional episode! I really panicked when Allelujah was captured, I was so cheering for Celestial Being to win!

Omg! Gundam Nadleeh is awesome... but I felt kinda sorry Tieria that he had to use it so soon :( Even though he can be cold and kinda mean he does it for the best interest of Celestial Being and seing what kinda effect this had on him is just sad to see :(

Hallelujah is awesome! He's a bit crazy but I kind of like that most of the time and it looks like Allelujah can still sort of communicate with him... I kinda felt like that the HRL lieutenant (who sacrificed himself) deserved it, who is he to judge the CB while he himself and his country has blood stained hands?...

ok this is really original concept of mecha anime instead of usual power ups we can see weakening of pilots abilities and meeting all possible enemies from their past.
Also they are getting beaten up more and more, letting random ppl know their identity, guess they gonna get captured very soon and their existence becomes cause of huge world war due to leak of their technology, at least that's what it looks like to me.

Still not sure why this was recommended under Code Geass, idea might be same to change world by getting all its hatred aimed at ourselves but that's where similarity ends..

lets see what will next ep bring us this time.

The Gundam's and CB were finally pushed to their limit and forced to reveal their capabilities. Great ep.

This episode shows how flawed the members of Celestial Being are. Their organization/ideals demand perfection but they all fall short. Their complacency needed to be shattered in order to grow, especially Sumeragi and Tieria, who have both been a bit arrogant about themselves.

I like Allelujah's "other" self, he's much more fun.

So am I suppose to dislike the protagonist of the show? because I kind of hate almost all of them. I find myself cheering for the antagonist a lot more than the main characters and I was hoping one of them gets captured to show CB isn't invincible but plot armor I guess. Neil is the only one out of the 4 I kind of like.

Kineta's link was an eye-opening read, and I'd like to see that kind of theme played out in this series with Tieria. Everyone has slowly become more interesting in the past 2 episodes, and finally Tieria as well. I'm glad to see that Tieria is just as strict on himself as he is with others, he's been quite rude telling others/commenting that the others aren't fit to be Gundam Meisters. They don't actually know much about each other, so what makes him think that Allelujah being captured was due do incompetence? Even Allelujah has only found out about why he reacts badly to a certain person. Tieria knew he also screwed up, but I was actually hoping that he'd say, "I'm not fit to be a Gundam Meister." I suppose him crying out of frustration and disappointment is satisfying enough. I don't hate the guy, but he hasn't been the best character in CB either.

The hair on Nadleeh did actually seem like cords but I'm not too sure. Too lazy to go take a look again.

Also, I don't think it's plot armor that none of the Gundams got captured. We already knew that they were chosen to be Gundam Meisters, therefore, they must have some special qualities. Allelujah's split personality had already been seen before, so it was easy to conclude that Hallelujah would get them out of the situation. As for Tieria, there was no way we've seen everything that the Gundams could do. It's only been 10 out 25 episodes. Would've been no different had it been Setsuna or Lockon, I'm sure they have more up their sleeves, or they have potential to be stronger.

So Allelujah has a second personality and in general Celestial Beings are technically the same scumbags as warmongers from the strongest alliances on the Earth with that difference they do not represent any country, eh?

Interesting episode, I'm curious to see how the character of tieria will evolve accroding to his defeat in this episode.
Allelujah seems an interesting character as well, even if i don't usually like characters with multiple personalities; i think it's understandable his hate towards the Union.
