Yep, I'm glad Kira finally broke up with Fllay, too...

I agree that the Kira-Athrun meeting was pretty good...

When they put it like that, it's hard to come up with any other alternatives that would be realistic.

Aww, why didn't Kira meet his parents? That seemed a bit odd, but otherwise it was a good episode. You know, this series is actually decent on the drama if they don't force recaps and pointless battles down our throats.

I'm still sad that Kira and Athrun couldn't work out their differences. The way I see it, both sides are in the wrong. Kira and Athrun should split from their sides and form their own group. That'd be awesome since they'd be on the same side and fight for what they believe in, and not for some pig-headed superior officer they can't even see.

Brilliant episode. At first I thought that Kira not meetin his parents was a typical Gundam teenage pilot wangst thing, but when he told La Flaga the reason it all clicked. All the pain and hardship he's been through is due to his unique gifts and talent as a coordinator. Why did his parents make that choice?

The reunion at the gate was a very poignant scene. Kira and Athrun are tragically destined to fight each other even more.

Unfortunately I've been spoiled about who the siblings are. I hope the explanation behind it is a good one.

Episode from the narrative quiet, the weapons are silent, but developments in the history of the scenarios open up very interesting, as the appearance of new MS; are excited about everything.
Drawings and animations very good.

It's like the slow pacing that the series is getting in these last episodes, showing some more details about the characters, without battles and stuff like that. I'm realy liking it, even though the producers obviously did this so they wouldn't spend much money in battle sequences.

Writers why do you have to be so cruel? Just when I thought the episode was going to end, you made me cry like a bitch.

I wish they would do more of this. The Ocean arc was pointless anyway, could have saved those battles except the last one in favor of more emotional moments like Kira and Athrun staring longingly at each other or Cagalli being a tsundere. I really liked that last moment, although it would have been nice if Athrun had said something like "I'm sure you are very precious to your friend, too"

I hated this Flay girl so much, I even laughed when her father died, but my sympathy for her is growing, and Kira dumped her in the worst moment.. Yes, Kira should repair his friendship with Sai first, but the girl also need help you know ...

The last scene is really sad.. Both of them should just leave this fucking war for good ...

I really don't understand the hate for Flay, sure she isn't making the best choices but she is clearly emotionally damaged, I pity her much more than dislike her. Needs serious psychiatric time and away from any fighting and she's not getting that.

Of course Kira needs that as well and is also damaged, he's just expressing his trauma differently than Flay is.

I know it's supposed to be emotional but the fact that Kira dumping a miserable Flay was immediately followed by an epic guitar solo was too fun for me.
Last scene was cool.

Flay was dropped like a hot potato. Can she fall even lower? Compared to her Kira is handling the pain like a champ.

Juicy episode again.

Finally Kira broke up with flay, I'm truly happy.
I wonder who is kira's sibling, maybe cagalli, or Athrun.
The gate scene was so emotional, i loved it.

There was some more movement and tension between Kira and Athras and co. Some casualties and highlighting the trauma they're accruing, to which they will never get therapy. All Gundam series wouldn't be what they are if any of them got therapy.
