I kind of like Kycilia. I wish she could have gotten more screen time in this series. Actually, all of the Zabi family members have been woefully underdeveloped.

I'm disappointed as well at this. Kycilia is really growing on me all too late.

That was badass though, I didn't expect her to do it.

Gihren being shot was anti-cliimatic.
One guy just casually said, "That's Admiral Gihren" and had no other reaction about it.

Glad he's out of the picture though.

But surely I must be a Newtype too!
Oh Char.

It was awesome how Kycilla shot Gihren down, he definitely deserved it. Just one episode to go, it's been an amazing experience to watch this 1979 anime in 2014, I honestly loved it.

Another amazing episode!!!

I'm like how Amuro is now starting to talk to Frau Bow, but is Hayato making a move on her O__O

I lol'd he said the plan would work because i'm a newtype XD

I knew it Kycilia suspected Gihren of killing their father. Though she really pulled the trigger!!

I understand is because of the rush production, but it pretty much work pretty well since it was probably brought a shock value to the viewer.

Guess only M'Queve and Kycilia had some decent time on screeen. The rest was either killed the moment they are in action or one of their comrades killing them.

Char is starting to become a Newtype!!! He's definitely frustrated that Amuro keeps beating him whenever they meet.

So now we will see who will stand on top!!

It's been a wild ride!! Only 1 episode left!!

Can't wait for the final episode!!!!

Female Shredder killed Hitler! Cool.

You know, every time they say "braw bro" in this series it makes me think of Fraw Bow...

Lol, and did that Zaku pilot really call out for his mom right before blowing up? XD

Ehh... this was a pretty underwhelming episode, overall, but it wasn't too bad.
I hope the finale is better.

"You patricidal monster" - that scene was lovely in many ways. Well, "lovely" isn't the right word, but I don't know how else to describe it.
I still find it too bad that it wasn't Char who (indirectly) killed the whole Zabi family. He still might kill Kycilia, though! :p

Looking forward to the final episode.

I think Kycilia killing Gihren was the highlight of the episode. Degwin wasn't exactly a good guy himself, but Gihren's actions were pretty inexcusable.

Char really seems to wish he was a newtype. He displayed light abilities in that area just before Lalah died, but he doesn't really compare to Amuro.

So in the end it really will be Amuro vs. Char. Looking forward to it.

Hitler Zabi taken down by his sister with a headshot. So worthwhile! Not looking good for the Zeon. It's interesting that early on they were all afraid of the Gundam but the real power of the Gundam couldn't be mass produced, it was the Newtype piloting it.

I also liked the Zeon trooper calling out to his mother as Amuro killed him. They never really let our heroes off the hook do they?

The final battle is what I expected, hard and cruel, but also well managed in spectacular level, directed, can show how events in high places, will reverberate on strategies and not only that, it becomes even more obvious how to know what happens, it is a winning weapon to win wars or to change the course. Too bad so far have had a clear picture of the internal dynamics of the Zabi family, perhaps certain gestures would now be clearer, oh well!

Boss episode. The battle scenes were just incredible.

One thing I thought was kind of strange is when Amuro pointed out to the crew that they'll defeat the Newtypes. Then he confided that if he had told them the truth, they would have abandoned ship.. what? What a way to put down your crew, guys! There is enough evidence to prove that would not happen.. just a little pet peeve to an other wise great episode.

Gihren's assassination was lulz. Also ironic how he died to a small beam of light rather than the giant one he shot at the Federation and his father.

Gihren just killed his own to destroy a good portion of Revil's fleet and take full control of Zeon. And he did it deliberately too, just to keep the war going. Revil seemed to be White Base's biggest supporter among the top brass of the Federation, sad to see him go. I honestly don't blame Kycilia for murdering Gihren. He let his guard down and murdered his own father. Probably another reason why they are losing is that Zeon is getting pretty short on people actually qualified to pilot mobile suits.

And finally, I never liked Hayato and Fraw Bow being a couple, it just to give Fraw a love interest as she became irrelevant after they returned to space and Amuro didn't give a fuck about her lol.

Ghiren's death was quite brutal, as was that blast from the Solar Ray. It's nice to see Fraw Bow find someone who cares about her. The rest was more or less a build-up to the final battle.

Oof, Gihren killing his own father and then Kycilia killing him in return. She's pretty much the only Zabi left at this point. Aside from Mineva and Zenna of course, who are innocent anyway. Char's revenge is pretty much completed without him having to do much for it, lmao!

Curious to see how this all ends! Looks like Char and Amuro are having a final battle next episode and I'm sure the federation will come out on top considering this is the last episode of the show. Wonder how Kycilia will be taken down or if she'll surrender.

I don't know what to say lol these episodes are getting good. Jesus Kycilia shooting her brother was so unexpected and the way everyone acts non chalant is pretty funny, also dad zeon dying was also unexpected. Also char is not as a good as I though seems he only wants power also like most of the people he wants revenge are gone soooooo. Anyways great episode amuro did not much along with char

Ive always been a big proponent of watching franchises chronologically. Like always, this has greatly enhanced my experience watching Gundam for the first time. But the one negative i had was Kycilia. She was the least developed Zabi in Origin and i was really looking forward to her being more fleshed out in this series, but it just wasnt happening.

This episode kinda redeemed that for me. Not only did Kycilia come off as very loyal to Degwin in Origin, but also after the way Ghiren treated her in the past it makes perfect sense that she took the first opportunity she had to blow the smug bastards brains out. She was probably just waiting for an excuse for years.

You also just know he never in a million years imagined anyone actually punishing him for any of his misdeeds, the narcissistic prick.

by the look on gihren's face, i'm sure he fully believed kycilia would not pull the trigger too. the swiftness of it all was what was so satisfying. there is no melodramatic "wait!", you're getting a hole. it's a shame however, that the zabi family has only steadily fell in numbers without more stuffing to them. there's hardly any development or sufficient zabi scenes that are not just in passing. and i see that as a sorely missed opportunity...

Holy shit I didn't expect her to actually shoot him, but I'm glad she did. A fitting end. The political tension was on an all-time high in this episode.

They're being very ambigous with Char's newtype ability. Whether he just has a weak latent potential or he's an upfront fraud is something I'm willing to see the sequels to discover.

Seems that the next and final step in the closure of this show is the natural conclusion of the Amuro-Char build-up: a proper one-on-one fight. I enjoyed the mecha action between them this episode.

Sad to see this show go! It had gotten quite good!

The kings of both sides are slain . The two are working together. The enemy is hailing. The one who can see the future is sure it will be OK. Operation commencing. He tells her not to give up. Someone’s trying to steal, right at the finish line. They are no cowards, but they are all just human after all. Infinite beams. Infinite missiles. He killed his own father. Infinite explosions. The legs are just for show. True. He doesn’t appreciate the frankness. Ships are running into one another. It’s him. His true enemy is not his rival. Isn’t that nice? He is got to buy the jokes. Shot through his naïveté. If anyone disagrees file charges after the battle is over. She is now the queen. Ships are crashing into the enemy base. You’re mine, the attentive thief declares. Both are struggling. They have shown the same ship blowing up like five times now. it’s the only repeated animation I really noticed and they keep using it. Three shots in the triangular ship. They have landed. He can see his enemy. The enemy is deploying students. He is unable to maximize his potential. 5
