| lockon was my favorite meister and bam they kill him off first... yeah he had no story or special past to him like the other but still he was pretty badass, and i think he was the second one introduced so i had great hopes for him... |
First Sig built from scratch 2nd overall^^^ |
| Noooo, not Lockon!! T.T WHYYYY!!!? Why do they always take out the nice guy with the least mental and emotional problems, i.e. the one we like? Poor Yellow Haro is going to be so lonely now :( |
 |
| LOCKOOOOOOOON! Ali better get killed by the end of this. |
| <i>When all else is lost, the future still remains</i> |
| Lockon Stratos. He is the most likable Gundam Meister of the 4. I though he was safe since he almost got killed, but got blinded instead but now he's dead. T.T Haro made me cry buckets.  |
| I can't stop crying. omg, my body is actually racking with sobs. LOCKON!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!! This is the saddest epi and the most i've cried for a show since the jdrama yuuki. well, reaction wise, It would've been worst if my eyes didn't catch the words Lockon and die in the same sentence before. Well, for me, I was happy when Tieria locked the door to Dynames so Lockon wouldn't get in the fight. 'Cause something bad could've happened. Then when they showed the red blast, I was so hoping it was Setsuna to the rescue. But no, Lockon had to be the one and then engage in battle with Ali(who need to die because of Lockon's last efforts-Though, it'd be just like an anime to have him alive) Then Dynames got torn in two but Lockon survived. But when he came out and rubbed Haro and said he'd be back alive, I was just thinking Liar, you should have just said you'd be back, cause I know it won't be alive.' I was hoping Setsuna would reach in time and then I saw the armor exploding and I knew it was to late. Jeez, He was one of my favorite Meisters. And Dynames is so awesome. |

  Thanks to Iri for the awesome Signature!! ^^ |
| I love that episode because of awesome fight scenes. But... Rest in peace, Lockon Stratos T_T If Lockons right (I guess, or left? XD) eye doesn't injure, he can win against Ali-Al for sure. |
Otakuman said: This.....Damn that was emotional, Lockon was my favorite character too. Awesome episode all the same. WinterNightsFall said: Also...Manly tears were shed. Best episode yet. No more eye patchness. T_T |
 |
| This was epic!! |
| Lockon....My day has turned to depression. Buckets of tears were shed. They kill off the best of the characters. DAMN THEM! T_T Lockon... |
 |
| DAMN, why him? T^T |
| R.I.P. Lockon Stratos. He was so badass even with his eyepatch, up until his final moment. :'( |
     |
| R.I.P. Neil Dylandy He died as a hero. I knew he was going to die before I started watching the series since I read a lot about this anime. When I read about his death I cried many times but now, after seeing how things really were, I ended up more depressed than ever. Damn you Ali-al-Bastard. I hate you now more than ever. |
| I can't believe that he died. I am kind of sad, he is such a cool Meister. |

| Lockon, Lockon .... ;____________; |
| Poor Haro. "Lockon....Lockon...Lockon..." How can a machine understand death. Such a sad episode. So well structured. |
| That action was nothing short of epic. Lockon went out with a bang, and had his revenge at the same time. It's not often when one can have his cake and eat it, too, except that also included kicking the bucket. I have to admit that I was surprised by his demise, seeing as how he just narrowly escaped death not too long ago. I just wonder why he didn't use the Trans-Am system in his fight with Ali, though. It's a shame we didn't get to see Lockon use it with Dynames. The Trans-Am system is like an 'Overdrive mode' of sorts, and intended to be used in such intense situations like Lockon was in. I also don't get the uproar over exposing Dynames' high-altitude firing capability in the past, they never used it again, anyway. With Dynames' solar reactor, they could A) Rebuild Gundam Dynames; B) Build a brand new Gundam from scratch if it can't be repaired; or C) permanently attach the solar reactor to Ptolemaios to serve as a power source when all Gundams are out in battle, seeing as how the gundams serve as power sources whenever they are docked to the ship. If they rebuild Dynames or create a new Gundam, the problem now would be finding a new Meister to replace Lockon. I don't think Nena would become a part of their team, and even if she did, she wouldn't replace Lockon as Dynames pilot, her own Gundam is still relatively intact. Maybe Feldt would replace Lockon, she'd probably want to avenge his death, plus her parents were both mentioned to be previously Gundam Meisters (of the second generation, perhaps). Also, Lockon's death sank my ship! Feldt, no! ;_; |
| No matter how many times I rewatch the series, this episode always shreds my heart into pieces. Lockon's death remains one of the most powerful and emotional deaths I've ever seen - every scene leading up to and following his death is so intense. Lockon was so amazing - even until the end, he kept thinking about others. <3 Goodnight, sweet prince. <3 |
| Lockon Stratos... Well, I kind of knew this is going to happen, but still... why him? Take away that useless Setsuna who should be dead long ago by whatever Lockon's or Tieria's hand. What makes me sad is not the fact of his death, but the fact that Feldt was worrying for him, she was waiting him... but he didn't knew that. Without Lockon, who will comfort her, with who she can talk about her feelings... (Y_ Y) Btw interesting to know what will happen with Tieria now, who wanted to protect Lockon... |

| Now I see why they did what they did in the second season. Well, in the end, Lockon was the only likeable Gundam Meister, so it was a wise decision killing him off. Why? Because of the impact. If they killed someone else, I'd be the same as the death of Saji's sister. The only thing I'm wondering is, did they actually think that Lockon was the least favorite Gundam Meister? Because these days they rarely kill the cool ones. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| It's sad to see a good character die. :/ |
| I tried not to shed a tear when it happened. Then the ending song started playing. |
ZetaZaku said: The only thing I'm wondering is, did they actually think that Lockon was the least favorite Gundam Meister? I'm pretty sure they designed Lockon with likability as one of the main qualities in mind. It was not an accident they showed Lyle in episode 9 in that graveyard. Also, minor S2 character spoilers ahead. |
| WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE LOCKON?! Man, did I cry something fierce. And I rarely tear up when a favorite character dies. Amazing episode. Still blown away by how he went out. |
 |
| "Lockon....Lockon...Lockon... :( |

| That was so powerful and perfectly executed, I'm speechless about Lockon. With all of these unexpected character deaths, I really can't expect any other character to have plot armor in this series. |
 |
| Why Lockon?!!! The best out of the Gundam Meisters and they off him?!! At least I hope he took that bastard Ali Al with him. Otherwise Im going to be pissed. |

| Excellent battle between Lockon and Ali Al-Saschez! I forgot about that fight... remembered the final sniping though. |
  |
| T_______________T That was the most heartbreaking thing. What a way to go, though... ugh. My respect for Lockon has increased exponentially. When he actually died, I was in an utter state of shock. But when Haro showed up, I just lost it. Lockon, Lockon... Lockon, Lockon... POOR HARO. AND WE NEVER EVEN GOT TO SEE LOCKON AND FELDT KISS. UGH. The worst part is that I bet he didn't even successfully kill that son of a bitch Ali Al-Sachez. Dammit! |

| I know this happened a long time ago but if......if only his eyes were not damaged he could have seen better and avoided the GN fangs that crippled dynames , he could 've snipe down ali al sacheez. He's my fav char in the series ever since it started , and i was soo sad i wasn't looking forward when the 2nd season was start (eventually i did watch it a month after ep1 of S2 got released and also finished it) |
| To Haro: "Farewell, little partner..." :'( When Haro kept calling for him the man tears won the battle >:( |
| Don't tell me Lockon didn't successfully kill Ali.. Dont tell me Saji is going to be substitute Gundam Meister.. But don't give me spoiler, I hope anyone who rewatching can hold himself to comment on episode discussions.. -_- |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Lockon was one of a kind...don't die! *can't stop crying* |
 |
| Noooooooooooo not Lockon QQ he was my fav char ~.~ |
The higher I get , The lower I'll sink. |
| When Haro just started saying Lockon over and over again is what really got me, RIP Lockon ;.; |
 |
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lockon was my favourite T_T |
| And there goes Lock On...damn. |
 |
| Damn poor lock on cant catch a break |
 |
