Finally, Kira is back in action in the skies against Shin. Rematch, this time I'm expecting a better outcome than their previous encounter.

Wow Rey is not afraid to use his new authority over others. He kept saying "that's an order" in this episode =_= So cool Rey, so cool.

Athruuuun is back! After so much internal conflict and unable to choose for himself what he wants to do or how he could help stop the war, he has finally made a decision, with the help of Lacus. Lacus seems to always say some inspirational things for people who're lost.

Shinn was right about Athrun being stronger "once upon a time". Finally, Athrun is finally back to his old self! Orb is pretty tough as a nation.

They're surviving against the entire might of ZAFT and Naturals from the Atlantic Federation. I liked the duel between Kira and Shinn. Kira could've killed him if he had used lasers, too bad he's too nice, just like Athrun.

They haven't reused enough things from earlier Gundams so far, so why not the Black Tri-Stars as well! ugh

I admit I had two fist pump moments. Once when Kira showed up and again when Cagalli slugged Yuna.

Now Justice 2.0 is back in action. I pray that Djibril will be stopped this time but this is Gundam after all.

Also hello Black Tri-stars.

Kira back to save the show. Please kill Shinn already and save the show.

(rewatching) (HD remaster ep41)

Kira says to Shinn: "Not today son"
Shinn's right, it would have been over if that had been a beam.

Loving the huge battle, and I really hope Kira beats Shinn.
Ready to see Athrun join the battle as well.

And can't believe they re-hashed the Black Tri-Stars.

Lacus once again proves she's the most mature female on the whole show, I love her small speeches like that.

Also highlight of this episode was Cagalli slapping Yuna.

So Mu is welcomed back just like that... despite having WILLINGLY participated in:

- Attacking a fragile space colony and nearly killing the entire civilian population inside, just to hijack Gundams. This was while the Earth Union and ZAFT were at peace and his attack was completely unprovoked.
- Drugs, mind wipes, and gaslights teenagers into losing their minds and becoming loose cannons.
- Giving said unstable teenagers weapons of mass destruction and having them destroy THREE CITIES.

We haven't even found out how he even survived or lost his memories or became a Earth Union commander again. Starting to doubt we will ever get an answer to that, but whatever.


Also, what on earth did Lacus even do? She went up to space like 15 episodes ago, and accomplished... what? Bringing back Gundams? She could have just sent a message telling her people in orbit to send those machines down. I thought she said she was heading to the PLANTs to confront Meer and Durandal or speak to the people?

I was rather infuriated that she was holding up Athrun from getting changed and launching while the country they were supposed to be protecting was being bombed.

The Black Tri-Stars comeback was the highest point of the show.
I really liked this episode but i don't quite understand why Mu La Flaga returned to save the Archangel.
Good battle between Kira and Shinn and good speech by lacus.
I'm hyped to see Athrun in the Justice 2.0

Show becomes more and more badass.
However, the Mu La Flaga subplot makes me a little uneasy. He did a lot of really shitty things in this series, and now everyone just welcome him back? Without even any explanation, how he was brainwashed or something?
