5 episodes left. I wonder if we're going to learn anything about "Newtypes" and the history of Zeon before this is over.

The reunion of Char and Sayla was really well executed, I like the way they handled the drama~
I wonder what will Bright do with the information he overheard from Sayla's and Char's conversation?

So Char turned out to be the "Lelouch/Reinhard" of Mobile Suit Gundam. Newtype sounds like the "perfect human" or something, with psychic power and all that.

So what exactly is Char's plan?

He originally enlisted in the Zeon military to gain favor and eventually enact revenge on the Zabi family. Yet he told Sayla that his motives have changed - what could they be now?

Amuro's Gundam getting kicked in the crotch was the highlight of the episode. Probably the show, too. orz

Newtypes have something to be with psychic ability. That sounds much better suited than "psychic", I guess.

Lol, Char. "Let me escape and hide behind boulders with my ridiculous red Halloween costume and flashing white helmet and gloves! No one can see me."

Oh, Char, taking care of his sister. He needs more screen-time like this. I'd love to know more about his upbringing and why/how he has changed. After a few eh epsiodes, I'd glad to have another great episode like this one. What's going to happen next~?

Wow now that's how you provide a backstory!!!

Looks like everyone is tired as hell, especially Frau Bow

So Amuro is indeed a some sort of Newtype :)

You know Sayla you could turn off your radio in case you didn't want the White Base hearing your conversation :P

So Char's family is actually the creatos of Zeon and he did it for the Newtypes who will lead mankind's future?

So this is how Gundam Seed got their coordinators that supposed to lead mankind's future as well Gundam Wing's backstory of Zechs and Relena :P

I feel sorry for Sayla. Seeing your brother that's alive all these years only for him to disappear again and go to war just for revenge.

Lalah got denied first for asking what happened to Char back on the colony, but at least he assures that he is thankful for retrieving his red suit.

I do wonder what Char's relationship to Lalah? So she's a Newtype same as Amuro??

Lots of interesting info!! Too bad there's only 5 episodes left, but i know they will continue this concept for many years to come!!!

Can't wait to finish this today! I'll take a sleep for a few hours since i've been awake since yesterday O___O

So... Sayla can keep all that gold?

I really liked how Bright overheard everything Sayla was saying to her brother, but I just can't understand why she didn't cut off the transmission. That was weird.

Nice episode, I guess. If you say "Newtype" too often, it totally doesn't sound like a real word anymore.

Yeah, it's hard to not like Char after this long.

I wonder what his current motives are. It's not often that you see someone "maturing" when it comes to the topic of revenge. At first I thought he might try to bring about the world his father envisioned, but then, fighting Amuro would go against that. Hmm.

His relationship with Sayla is pretty great too. I wonder what Bright will do now that he knows all this.

Amuro's status as a Newtype is pretty much cemented now. I didn't realize Sayla knew what they were.

Other useful information is disclosed in this episode, making it now understood the words that are uttered in the series of Gundam Unicorn, while other questions arose last time, now found an answer in the movie Gundam Origin 4, in short, the Gundam saga more time passes it becomes more compelling. Still I do not understand the assertion made at 15:33 minutes in which it relates Amuro with New Type, the association from the dialogues, was not so direct, translation errors or a mistake made upstream? Good question. Another inconsistency that I've noticed, are the claims made in the previous episode promo and the battle that is seen in this episode: Amuro has improved thanks to the peculiarities of New Type, but Casval succeeds with his experience to keep up with him, I did not see a gap between the two so great to see the sunset of the Red Comet, as it was always announced in the promo, oh well!
Leaving aside these speculations, however, the episode was excellent and the final was well scripted, that vibrant interpretation of Casval and Artesia, wow! *_*

I liked Char since the beginning, but at the latest I would have fallen for him now.

Why would Char's mobile suit use a melee weapon made out of actual solid material instead of a beam sword?

Probably the best episode so far. The reunion between Char and Sayla was quite informative and sad. I feel bad for Sayla more after watching The Origin since it hurts more to see her lose Casval again. Still, I just can't understand why she didn't cut off the transmission, Bright heard everything!

I didn't give a fuck about Wakkein's death since he was a dick from the start.

This seems like the point where they're rushing to the end, since the show was on the verge of cancelling. Everything happens really fast now, which is kind of a shame. Wakkein just pretty much dying off-screen and the random info-dumb about newtypes felt a bit awkward.

But on the other hand it's nice to see the story progressing. I don't quite get what Char's endgoal is yet. At first he wanted revenge on the Zabi family, but now he's got beef with Newtypes in general? Yet he interacts with Lalah... I guess we will see eventually. It's intriguing at least.

It is honestly shocking to me that it took until episode 38 for Zeon Zun Deikun to be mentioned.

Man, Artesia has really been through it. I bet if Char actually communicated with White Base at this stage theyd have been able to work together to take out the Zabis. But Casval be Casvallin'. Wonder what his end goal is now.

She believes in the red comet . The soldier is instructed to increase his prudence. The enemy doesn’t believe he could be the same person that he is. Out of energy at the crucial moment. They are staging an attack with only one fighter. And it is working. It’s scary to see what happens when the tide of Fortune turns on its side. an ally with suspicious vibes and music. They commence decent as they are ascending. She went delirious for a second. Her father was previously the true king of the enemy. And she was raised on earth under false names. New types have broken out. And this means even if the war is one piece will not be achieved. What? It is a shame that a new type has become his enemy. But they were taught that the new types are the ideal towards which the entire human race should strive. He tells her to go to earth and live her life in peace when there is not peace on earth he wears that mask because he has discarded his past. The current king of zeon only got there by deceit. It would be very disappointing if she respected his wishes when he does not respect her in any way. A machine he’s never seen anything like. He claims a tragedy occurred in Texas. They were too late to save their ally. Finally she is being honest. 4
