I wonder how things will be now that Tekkadan wants to get bigger. I can see this affecting their relationship with Teiwaz. Naze will most likely not be happy about these developments.

Well, the whole Akihiro/Lafter thing doesn't really interest me. It was obvious from the first season that she's interested in him. As for Akihiro, not sure as he has other things in his mind. However, I could see him returning her feelings if she is to ever confess. I guess this will also affect Tekkadan's relationship with Teiwaz but I could be wrong and Naze won't mind letting Lafter go.

Happy that Takaki decided to quit Tekkadan for his sister's sake but who knows if he will ever go back. I don't really want him to die. I just can't see him continuing being detached from Tekkadan but who knows.

Now for Atra and Kudelia, I don't really see Kudelia dying but Atra might. Sad as I really like Atra. I was hoping Mika will take her as his wife in the future but I guess this isn't happening. :( Also, I think he will most probably fall for Kudelia. Isn't Kudelia a typical Gundam heroine?
I thought there was a chance for Orga/Merribit but who knows if it will ever happen. I don't really ship it but I'm also not against it despite me not being a fan of older women/younger men relationships.

Whatever happened to the Shino/Yamagi ship? Well, not really a ship but doesn't Yamagi have a thing for Shino? Kind of doubt it'll happen as I can see Shino dying but who knows. If it happens, would this be the first same-sex pairing in the Gundam franchise?

Still curious about the identity of the masked man? I thought it might be Gaelio but the fact that he never once removed the mask makes me uncertain. Can't wait to see what happens.

She fails at the job tho', more so than Biscuit did, because Orga just doesn't listen, she can't make him listen, and the others are useless, just agreeing with anything and everything Orga says.

I would rather Atra surviving and becoming Mika's wife, and Orga hooking up with Kudelia. If he really becomes the king of Mars, then only Kudelia is a fitting candidate for the queen.

Huh? Are you Okada or Nagai or something? At this point we're not even sure if the more obvious and well-founded ships will come to pass or not, like the Lafter-Akihiro stuff or Shino x Yamagi or even anything with the main triange. Realize that a fan's wishes are one thing, but making such statements with no room for doubt like you're the one writing this show is another and sounds pretty immature.

And anyway, if anything, developments with Merribit will likely raise Orga's death flag, because no, I can't imagine Merribit as the queen of Mars, she's not set up to be someone that grand, especially when there is Kudelia (who might be the only one in this show with the absolute plot armor safely protecting her from the possibility of dying any time soon), the true Gundam peace princess and the destined politian and diplomat. Solution? Orga dies before the season is over, to clear the spot for Kudelia to become the sole sovereign of Mars.

Show doesn't have to kill Orga in order to make Kudelia a queen of Mars, that girl is practically predestined to be one, albeit with Tekkadan help, Orga would simply hand the power to her on his own volition. He was never shown as someone who have interest in politics. They can decide to kill him for the sake of plot twist though.

Takaki quits Tekkadan. Well good for him also because he lost so many already and he don't want Fuka to cry anymore.
McGillis plans to make Orga/Tekkadan King of Mars!
Looks like Lafter has fallen in love already with Akihiro! better not tell to darling Naze! hehe lolz! Akihiro x Lafter ship will sail now!
5/5.

What if Lafter got the death flag instead? For a show that hasn't shied away from bodybagging cast members, the girls have had too much plot armor. Like only one woman has died in this show and she was kinda a traitor at that.

I'd be remiss if Kudelia, Merribit, Lafter and all the rest of the girls make it to the end.

I mean, if they bodybagged Kudelia for instance that would have a huge demoralizing effect on Mars and Tekkadan and a huge victory for the opposition. Given that Mikazuki is likely to make it to the end albeit a cripple and they've already tried shipping him with Kudelia, I would wager she's going to eat shit at some point.

If not, I'll be disappoint.

I am really impressed by the writer's decision to have Takaki quit, usually when some thing like this happens, the character gets all emo. But this made me really happy :D!

This has to be one of the best wrap up episodes I've seen in a while. Lots of shiznit happened for both main and side characters, most of whom had to make serious decisions which affected them in a way that feels permanent, on top of showcasing each and everyone's personal growth. I was particularly impressed with Takaki and Kudelia's respective decisions to quit Tekkadan and to go back to Mars, as it perfectly displayed and represented the changes they both had undergone since the beginning of the whole series. It takes as much courage turning down a golden once-in-a-lifetime offer from an influential political figure as it does quitting a group you've always considered your family, so I'm glad the show put emphasis on the parallels between Takaki and Kudelia's respective situation by having them meet and talk to each other before making their final choice.

Aside from that, it seems Gali Gali being Vidal is now 100% confirmed since the friend he was talking about was obviously Ein. I'm also quite curious (and excited) about what direction Chocolate Macky is gonna take from now; he seems to occupy a very peculiar place within the story as well as the world's political chessboard due to the lack of certainty regarding his status as either ally or antagonist as well as his goals, which have remained obscure up until now. One thing is sure though; he's hands down one of the most intriguing characters in the show and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us (and all of his beloved pawns).

Also glad for Takaki. I think him quitting was a good idea. It makes Aston's death have even more meaning. Right now his sister needs him most.

shipping intensifies... Lafter reaction so cute.
More Aston feels. Dialogues were very well done with Takaki's struggle, Kudelia maturing a lot, & Greybeardy on aging & inheritance.
Takaki felt like Biscuit 2.0, and Mika & Orga definitely were relieved, since Biscuit wanted out but died before actually resigning. Takaki is right, imouto's smile is everything.

Again, i think that orga is taking up a bad decision. I don't even think he knows how far he wants to go.

King of mars? I really don't believe he would receive a prize like that. Let's not forget that Chocolate man is not someone you can trust

So far, the only 'couple' I would like to see together is orga and merribit. Akihiro and laefty don't convince me as a possible couple.

Young McGillis was so cute but he had lots of bruises or scars? Maybe his dad was beating him.

I felt it in my core, Akihiro x Lafter is becoming a thing and I ship it so fucking hard. When she was concerned about him after Galan self-destruct and she went to see Akihiro.

I think it's funny how Julietta calls Galan "hige no ojisama" hahaha.

Takaki quits Tekkadan, goodbye. However, we all know that he's coming back... or not. But I'm betting that he will.

Takaki left Tekkadan :( We will miss him but i still believe that one day he will come back.
That blonde girl has some feelings for Akihiro, i knew it!!! I knew it since the previous season. She was so cute in this episode :3

Damn this was sad. Pretty sure Mika felt relieved Takaki left because he senses that the path Tekkadan is taking is going to end bad. :(

But seriously none of these kids have an opinion. Feel sorry for Orga, he has to call all the shots. At least Biscuit knew how to backtalk.

I watched episode 33 a few days:

1. PM has the "same" flowers that blew him up in his hospital room.

2. Takaki is a loser. I'm glad he triple tapped Mr. R; but really tho, he really was dumb as Mr. R thought he was. Derp, why didn't you talk with Orga directly? Derpty, why didn't they have more than one communication point? There were networking issues mentioned early in S1, but srs, can't believe Mr. R was in charge of everything.

2a. Orga should be ashamed. So dumb of him not to contact an entire branch. Imagine if Goldman Sachs was like, nah Europe Branch will be fine without any direct contact from HQ. HSBC would move in on their EU Branch like a bitch.

3. All three of the guys walking away from Takaki after he's made his decision, such a lame scene.

4. Season 1 ended with a lot of voice over narration, and if I misremembered the ending of S1, then S2 definitely used a lot of voice over narration to "advance" the plot. It felt lazy and rushed.

5. The whole arc so far has been dumb. S1 was much better. I felt sad when Takaki's butt buddy ____, but Takaki is an idiot along with Orga for not realizing something was wrong and actually fixing it.

Orga: I trust the people I appointed to Earth Branch.
Takaki: I trust Mr. R.
Mr. R: I trust bearded man.
Bearded man: I trust Master Rust.

Additional thoughts:

Orga pretty much has agreed with all proposed propositions so far. Will he turn down kingship? HMMM.

Thank god McGillis stepped in and stopped the idiocy. I'm glad he did. He didn't have to do anything if he wanted the Earth Branch of Tekk. to fail.

Prime minister be grooming her hard.

Why did Orga leave the youngest Tekk family members on Earth under Chad? Because he's a crappy leader in S2. Srsly, Chad? Eugene would have made the most sense.

God, they're not called space rats for nothing. Dumb. No wonder why the little kids keep bragging they can read/write at higher levels than these human meat shields.

I obviously like this show (33 eps in & counting) and will finish it, but come on. This is too much.

I wonder what's gonna happen to Takaki since he 'left' the show...

God, this is just bugs me since he won't be appearing again on future episodes unless they decide to bring him back for one last fling on the final battle.

But IF Sunrise are complete sadistic fuck, they would kill him in 30 seconds after he set foot on the battlefield once again.

Again, since Aston is dead, he'll be missed...

Don't know. It seems the right decision for Takaki but at the same time it makes everything he went threw seem useless since he now will never use that experience.

Actually i think Lafter is the one that raised her death flag. I can imagine her confessing just before she dies in a destroyed mobile suit.

For Akihiro everything is the same really because he isn't the one with butterflies in the stomach. His death flag will rise only if she confesses before anything happens to her and space Guts starts dreaming and blushing about her. Then he will have a clear death flag.

One month later.
McGillis isn't blood related to his father.
Bael.
Chad is out of the hospital.
Todo.
The king of Mars..
Booty too much for Hush.
Takaki can't go with them.
Takaki quits. Orga accepts.
Mikazuki says Takaki's only family is Fuka.
WTF! Don't tell Naze? Lafter really likes Akihiro? WTF!
Takaki goes to school? or he's working, which Fuka says? Or both?

I do not support the idea that a member of a Harem King's harem should be taken away from him. Naze earned that shit. Now you're going to make him experience NTR? Lafter has to die. That's the cost for leaving a harem. Also, do you realize how dangerous you have to be to attract a member of someone's harem? The untapped potential Akihiro has to be Harem king... or NTR king.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

This one was a lot of talking with a lot of it about characters and situations not present. I don't love that stuff, but there was emotional weight here that made this a good episode. It was nice to see Takaki quit the group and help his sister. The group is getting back together, and there is some revving up for a big fight. It's a good way to pace this. Also, I keep thinking about how the show focuses on snacks the characters are eating, and I am always wondering what the different snacks represent, metaphorically, if anything.

Damn whether if it's for killing his opponents or sending off former allies, Mikazuki doesn't pull any punches. Just hope Orga doesn't end up becoming power hungry.

Looks like Naze officially lost a harem member to Akihiro lol.

i think that takaki made the best decision, for his future and for the future of his sister, i'm only a bit sad because i think we won't see him anymore, and i liked his character a lot.
finally Akihiro x Lafter became a real thing, now i hope nothing happens to them before the confession.
i'm afraid that orga is aiming too high for tekkadan, this can cause a war with teiwaz.
