| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Episode felt kinda slowed paced until the second half. Not sure how I feel about Crank yet but he seems like a strong spirited guy. I really liked the design of this mecha though:  Looks like we got a fight between it and Mikazuki. Not bad. The fight itself was pretty fast though but intense. They sure love to use that OST from the PV ;o |
 |
| I love the fight between Crank and Mikazuki! |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| For me the BEST GUNDAM after 00 ... These three episodes are great. I love Mikazuki and Orga. Very strong MCs. I didn't want Crank to die, because he was a good guy, but he asked Mika and Mika complied. I enjoyed very much how Mika killed these old bastards that were their bosses. And Kudelia is a really good female character. She will do great things. |
| Mikazuki is way more merciless than I expected and not on just one occasion this episode. It's going to be extremely interesting to see how the characters develop as the series goes on. A great episode once again. |
| wow Mikazuki is like a psychopath with little emotions, he is like a perfect killing machine noice episode |
| This series keeps on getting better and better. The kids are absolutely ruthless when they need to be and that's very appropiate for child soldiers. I look forward to seeing them kick Gallahorn's behind. |

| This just keeps getting better and better....And thus Tekkadan was born!!! All in all I feel like the pacing was great as usual and the visuals plus thee OST was on point yet again this week I was beyond happy to see how Orga and the gang REKT those cunts that were in charge and then proceed to ruthlessly and rightfully kill that scumbag who was in charge plus anyone else that shares his twisted attitude....Good riddance and I'm loving where Orga's character is going as well as his new ideals The moments with Cookie, Cracker and Kudelia plus that soup scene with Mika was pretty funny and super cute at the same time lol....I ship those two so hard now (I like him wiI'm Atra too but she's so gonna die which is something that I already know will make me sad) The one on one battle with Mika and Crank was pretty great but I'm pretty bummed out by the fact that Crank died because even when he was forced to kill them, he still stuck to his ideals and ignored orders thus leading to ths deal where he wouldn't have to cause much death even if he won.....RIP Lieutenant Crank, you are truly a great man even on the brink of truly an honourable death Overall, amazing episode yet again this week but man Mika is awesome but at the same time so fucking scary lol, he's like the perfect soldier like Heero and Setsuna yet at the same time he is so different....I can't even imagine the psychological condition he must be in |

| DAMN Mika has no chill. |
Holy shit. Mika is fucking ruthless. He had no reaction when he shot those guys. I'm liking this guy more and more.  Yeah, I was expecting Lieutenant Crank to die after Mika killed those 2 guys. Too bad since he seemed like one of the good guys.  |

Honestly I thought that maybe he would've let Crank live, but I don't think that Crank would've wanted to work with them, besides he knew that if he returned he would've been killed so he asked Mika to do it, to preserve his honor. |

It seemed to me like he was considering letting Crank live but then changed his mind as soon as he saw his bracelet. I don't really think so after what he's done this episode. He didn't even let Crank finish saying "Thank You". He probably covered the bracelet just so it wouldn't get stained with splattered blood. That reminds me, did he knew the bracelet was from Atra from the get-go? We will probably know that in the next episode based on the PV. Really great episode, once again, three times on a row. I'm liking where this is going. All of the characters got their moments this episode, especially Kudelia, Orga and Mika. Though there's a lack of Akihiro this episode or I missed him lol. Tekkadan (Iron Flower) is a nice name. I can't help but feel that Todo guy will be trouble for the Tekkadan in the future, messing things up for his selfish gains. |

It seemed to me like he was considering letting Crank live but then changed his mind as soon as he saw his bracelet. I don't know. There is a lot of room for development on these characters. And the way I see it, they can't trust adults, because they were used as tools of war, and let's not mention that they were left to die, and the adults fled when they were attacked. Crank was a good character. The only thing this anime is missing is HARO !!! :D Hopefully we will see him later in the series. |
| It just keeps getting better. It's almost as if I wasn't watching Gundam. I love all of the main characters. Orga and Mikazuki are awesome, so is the princess. And the rest of the cast. This has so much promise |

| So Mika will kill whomever Orga points him to? That's actually kinda sad, but at the same time Orga will also follow whatever choice Mika makes. The dynamics between them both are great, it's going to be such an overwhelming shock when, like everyone's been guessing, Orga's dead, or somehow both of them oppose each other. Kudelia's developing a crush on Mika. Feels kind of weird for me but it's an interesting prospect... for now I like Mika with Atra. Too bad she didn't get the chance to personally give Mika the bracelet. Lucky for her Mika looks like he already treasures it. Atra is someone special to Mika, it seems... Mika's liking his snacks so much he carries them with him in his jacket pocket. Interesting... Also, daaamn loving the bgm that's playing during the fight XD |

| Amazinggg! Btw if i remember right atra didn't give mika the bracelet last ep so how does he have it now? Or did I miss something? |
| I'd love at least a bit of emotional strain to be visible in Mikazuki after actually killing people and quite a few at that. But aside from that, very nice episode. |
 |
| Damn Mika. phoe_enix said: The dynamics between them both are great, it's going to be such an overwhelming shock when, like everyone's been guessing, Orga's dead, or somehow both of them oppose each other. Orga's dead? wut? |
 |
| The duel is quite short but it's still nice. I expected Mika to spare Crank's life but well he didn't even let him finish his last words. And I'm calling it now the guy with the singlet will betray them later. He seems like a greedy and annoying man. |

| I'm willing to bet that their sponsor is that pimp looking guy in the OP lol |
| Kudelia is a cute. Good to see she'll be helpful with the financial problems for now. Looking forward to Tekkadan's journey to Earth. I bet lots of obstacles will be on the way ^^; Holy shit tho! The way Mika just shoots with no mercy is friggin epic XD Didn't see any of his immediate kills coming. Shooting the leader with no hesitation then shooting Krank to death without even letting him say "Thanx" DAMN!! RIP Krank T^T Orga's way too friggin BA too. Loving these MCs |

She gave it to the mechanic old man to give it to Mika in the first half of this episode. You can see it being put in the cockpit when Mika entered the Gundam. Looks like Mika already knew it's from her or he just really likes the smell of it lol. He even covered the bracelet when he killed Crank. |
| lol Mika chill the fuck out, kid Never watch any Gundam series before but I'm liking this one so hard. Continue. |

| Really like the friendship between Orga and Mika. Not to mention the fact that Mika means business. |
| sad that this anime didnt get much attention from the rest of the world. anyway, mika is a soulless kid. i get a feeling he will die soon, or atleast before this anime ends. |

blitz_21x said: sad that this anime didnt get much attention from the rest of the world. anyway, mika is a soulless kid. i get a feeling he will die soon, or atleast before this anime ends. It's getting an astronomical amount of attention in the only place that matters for anime, Japan. You should see the threads on 2ch etc. 4k posts in no time at all. Constantly on top of everything, even that overhyped vampire show. Japan loves this shit. Though, based on what I've seen so far, I wouldn't really call this a Gundam show. At the very least it's a brand new direction for Gundam, but that's to be expected from Mari. It's good for a season (no doubt AOTS, don't think anyone can disagree with that), but I hope it ends after this and we go back to more traditional Gundams. |
| Mika is pretty much the opposite of Uso in where he doesn't hesitate much if at all to kill while Uso does. Heck the end of the battle also reminds me a little of Victory. |

Just keep in mind that they're most likely talking about a Gundam TV series whenever these kind of comments pop up in the forum since well, this is a TV series and after what happened with the past 2 TV series, it's to be expected. |
| Mika is ruthless and I love it. |
 |
| I was hoping Crank would stay alive and work with them. Oh well... great episode. |
| Mika know how to save time |

He totally does look like him lol I didn't realize until now |
| Mikazuki is becoming one of the best Gundam characters up-to-date. Straight up not giving a damn and doing it for the squad. |

| great episode |
