*cries*

Did he even take out anyone with him?

I've never seen Dragonball Z before, but this felt like a DBZ moment. This series has definitely gone over the top with the super powers, probably too much influence from Star Wars methinks.

And for a moment I thought Elle was going to die in this episode, dont scare me like that damnit.

Yeah, with episode 46 ... it seems like he didn't even take anyone out. Rakan should've died here. -_-

I thought his death was alright, definitely a little highlight of the series, but it probably could've been a tad better I think.

yeah, he was a lot more powerful than I originally thought, but I'm not sure he killed anyone with that either. Something was definitely not right about that. And it looks like Puru Two ahs a bunch of Quebeleys coming out with her. O_o

I liked Mashymire death, but it would be pointless if he didn't take anyone with him...I think he took the guys that were grabbing him.

I think that wasn't even a sacrifice if Mashymire didn't take out anyone. At that time I was a bit confused though it was indeed epic~

Whoa whoa, Mushymushy was actually powerful? Funny Beatnik bringing up DBZ because that was totally a DBZ power-up move. He's like freakin Vegeta or something and he's the barely believable blue-haired guy who prays to Haman every night! Major plot twist, whoa! --just in time for him to die. What exactly did his sacrifice do besides save everyone from his overly obsessive and annoying personality? I mean, if he was actually powerful, I WANT TO SEE HIM ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING. :OOO BECAUSE WOW THAT WAS EPIC.

Oh well. pl0x crazy Chara go away, too. I never want either of you to turn up in a more serious Gundam series. do not even leave that possibility open and Double Zeta will not have damaged Gundam so so so much.

So Marshmellow stole the title for most epic death of the series, I guess

He had a rose in his mouth and went supersayian, how do you beat that I don't know

Marshmallow's death was certainly flashy, yet totally pointless. The only person he took out was the one he was already grabbing, the other 3 got away safely (and were about to pull back regardless).

I suppose it was epic. An epic fail.

He was actually pretty cool, very few likeable characters this show have but he was one of them.

P.S I didn't get the Elle and Beecha scene, where the hell did that even come from. Gundam and it's random ass romance as usual I guess.

Wow amazing episode!

I also don't get why they're still using floppy disk for black box.

While the joke by Mondo was kinda harsh, he does have a point on how this is war, there's no time to be grieving or else you would die in battle.

Man i was sad to see Elle being lonely. Seems Beecha is now being open to her right now. I hope none of them dies in this battle, but i have a feeling Elle and Roux are in danger :(

Fights are getting intense as hell. Seems it's kinda even on both sides.

And what the hell was the point of Mashyre blowing himself!?! He couldn't even take all of them with him.

I was hoping he would put more of a fight since he does reminds me of Paptimus.

It would have been better if everyone died in that blast.

Shame Mashymre was an interesting character and was hoping to see his full potential in this battle, but i guess he died way too early.

Damn even in death, Haman is still cold as ice.

Last 2 episodes. I really wonder if Glemy, Puru 2, Haman will survive this.

Can't wait for the final two episodes!

Not an action-fan and I still enjoyed this episode.

HAMAN-SAMA BANZAI!!!

Strangely, the death fits perfectly with the character despite his reconditioning (during enhancement program): a flamboyant and chivalrous but useless sacrifice for Haaman. While I am impressed by the fact psychic abilities give someone the mean to literally explode himself from within (with a pure psychic energy blast), I am not a big fan of it. I rather prefere the way Amuro manifested his gift.
The few pleasing characters of the show are vanishing. I suppose the tragic Haaman will soon follow.

5/5

Now, waiting for the army of Ple / Qubeley.

There were some signals here and there about Beecha's attraction to her, and Elle's attraction toward Judau. Besides, it is plausible since the three grew up together and like always the war intensifies everything.

A bit of romance that Tomino didn't seem to have conjured out of his ass? Is this real life?

There first hints of Beecha having a thing for Elle date all the way back to the first half of the show, and Elle's cluelessness about his feelings make perfect sense considering the fact that all this time she's been completely absorbed her own attraction towards Judau. Not that I particularly care whether or not these two end up together but it feels good to finally get something that doesn't feel completely forced or shoe-horned, for once.

Other than that I found this episode to be highly entertaining, even if it concluded with yet another pointless sacrifice, frightening in how accurately it sums up the existence of the character in question. Only difference this time was that I actually liked Marshmallow, so I was pretty bummed to see him go.

I hope the last two episodes manage to maintain this level of quality : maybe finishing this series won't be as much of a pain as I initially thought.

Not a bad episode at all but i have a few questions?

1st) Why does this series have so many shitty episodes when it shows it can be good.
2nd) Where the hell did Elle and Beecha come from?
3rd) How is this going to finish in two episodes?

For a juvenile delinquent at the beginning that I didn’t like, Judau in the begging of this episode recap talking about not leaving side 3 in time and because of that Emary sacrificed himself in a tone of being responsible for that he has demonstrated so much growing since accepting to be a pilot/soldier… I like him and I hope he accomplish what he needs to and survives this ordeal.

Talking about this episode, just like that Mashymre Cello has died... It would be more bada$$ if he would have benn taken Rakan Dakaran with him...

On a side note:

Ple Two in a respirator? Cool look *_*

Seems like Tomino decided that making everyone sad about Rasara wasn’t enough, he dedicated several minutes to memorizing Emary and Rasara, accompanied by violin music. Why didn’t Ple deserve this ;_;

Sudden romance between Elle and Beecha felt kinda forced, even though something like that was implied, like, twice throughout the show. Not against this romance per se but not out of the blue with sudden touchy music. Also looked like a death flag.
Mashymre got a CNT power-up, an awesome-looking mobile suit and some evil laughs. And got killed ;_; Or did he self-destruct? Anyway, HAMAN-SAMA BANZAAI! The best ones always go out first (Ple, Mashymre)

I absolutely loved this episode. I knew my favorite character Mashymre had to die at some point, and he went out like a champ despite only killing one or two people. That scene was especially well animated, and the scene leading up to it. It was also awesome to see him go toe-to-toe with Puru 2 in terms of their abilities, he even landed a clean hit with his beam saber.

I do think Mashymre should have taken out Rakan, but oh well I'll let it slide. So much more I wanna say, but I'll leave it be as there are only two episodes left.

Mashmyre disappears for most of the show, comes back enhanced outta nowhere with no foreshadowing, then sacrificed himself...that's cool I guess? I didn't know he died, and I had to replay to confirm it since everyone was freaking about about him.

Mashmyre died like that? I didn't understand at first (same as the post before mine), and what's more, I think he only killed a single enemy? Bwhahahah... except that I liked this guy so that's a real shame... I guess the cyber newtype influence would explain the change in his behavior..

Was Elle sad about arguing with Mondo?
I'm not surprised about Beecha, but that now Elle suddenly switches to him is a bit strange to me. I think she sympathized for him a little, but not at this level. Well so far I have seen worse I guess (like Mirai and Sleggar...)

So masyhmeer sacrfised himslef for what and unrelated part i just know mashymere was somehow related to sirrico from past season. His death was pointless. Also ellies and beechas mondo ship confirmed even though a death flad has been sent to ellie. So i guess judau doesnt have a love intrest at all and yeah roxuz isnt.
