i have to admit it, this series has got me hooked, can't believe there's only 10 episodes left. i want it to continue forever...

rather saddened by the news of Cagalli and Kira being siblings, was rather hoping they'd hook up :P

Can't say I saw Kira and Cagalli being the siblings. Been pondering that one ever since it was hinted at with Kira's "parents". Feels like a regular Star Wars moment. Though I guess it might be logical for a neutral leader to have one natural and one coordinator child.

Now we just need a Lucus+Kira and Cagalli+Athrun pairing.

Woah,The Lion of Orb sure deserves his nickname. Awesome episode! So much drama!
Liked the face of Azrael when he realised he's been had. Serves him right!

His genes were operated and her's not. It's that simple. And does it really matter who are the real parents. One of them was adopted,or both of them...couldn't care less.

The new ED visual is great!

I hope they keep Akatsuski no Kuruma as official ED3? Or do I prefer Find the Way? Both are great really.

I see SUNRISE really put their budget to remaster these episodes....

I cried when Cagalli's father died T_T and then that new ED song came up which made me cry even more. And what? Cagalli and Kira are siblings? I thought he had a brother or something. Well I always thought Cagalli looked nothing like her father, like they aren't the same race/nationality. But I guess she's Kira's...twin? :O No wonder they get along so well ^^ And hell yeah, loving Kira and Athrun fighting together XD They are such a great team! And I'm really liking Dearka now, he seems to have changed. Before I thought he was just something who liked fighting. Hmm...and Lacus being the "key?" Like, as an useful hostage? Oh yeah, and they're finally back at space! I missed watching them float around!

The Earth alliance fails yet again. So much for their new cyber new types. I feel for Cagalli. She just lost her dad for such an strange reason.

Couldn't Orb have destroyed the mass driver without suiciding themselves in the process? In the end her father had to die. He was the one who allowed Arch Angel refuge into Orb territory which essentially cancels out neutrality.

Wow. What an amazing episode. This series is definitely much better than its reputation. Where to start:

All salute the Lion of the Orb. What a way to go, saving his population and sending his valuable technology out of the hands of the Earth fanatics.

Kira and Cagalli being siblings was spoilt for me beforehand (thanks internet) but it removes one source of friction between Athrun and Kira for sure. Cagalli losing her dad was a heartbreaking moment so I hope Kira is a good Aniki and supports her.

And finally, is it insinuated that Le Creuset is sleeping with Flay?!! Rarely in anime do we see someone under the bedcovers without clothes on without there being some sexual situation implied.

I cannot believe all the responses by people saying that they "didn't see it coming" that Cagalli and Kira are siblings. They pretty much spelled it out earlier.

Uzumi, Cagalli's dad, is talking to Kira's parents. Kira's parents are all, "We were never supposed to meet again," and Uzumi is all, "It can't be helped. The siblings ended up meeting each other, although they don't know that they're siblings." They were pretty blunt about it.

Emotions do not end yet, another scenario is opened for our players and other tragedies mark the narration; finally the much-vaunted BC make their appearance.
Captivating episode and we finally have a new Ending; not bad.
Too bad this time MU not appeared much.

Well the Kira x Cagalli ship sure sunk fast this episode, even though they pretty much confirmed it earlier it's still pretty ridiculous to me.

Hilarious with that picture. Also what's Flay's role in this show except being the annoying ship whore?

I also have to agree with those saying it was obvious that Kira and Cagalli were siblings. But why would that rule out a ship? It's anime, if anything it would make it more likely. There was never even the slightest chance in hell for a Kira x Cagalli relationship. The very first opening already teased Kira x lacus. They are floating towards each other naked ffs!

Same to be honest, I really thought Lacus would be Kira's hidden sibling for some dumb reason but hey, Cagalli is fine too I guess. They already had a brother-sister type of relationship anyway, so I guess it only makes sense.

However there's something that bugs me: did Le Creuset fuck Flay? Because we see her naked in bed and shit at some point. Was she forced or did she do it out of desperation? In any case that girl ended up being nothing more than a ship whore, which is sad and pretty degrading.

I'm very impressed on this remastered version. They used the Special Edition ending. Totally worth re-watching but on remastered version.

My dumb theory was Arthrun and Kira. It's like everyone came to different conclusions as to what was meant by siblings meeting each other.

Given that she is a prisoner of a powerful ZAFT commander surrounded by a whole ship of coordinator soldiers, she doesn't really have any choice in the matter. Like he said, she would be dead if she resisted. The real question is why did Le Comet take her and start grooming her? His talk about a "key" may be why, and it causes me concern. Also what was that thing with her father just before Le Comet captured her?

Flay is a walking tragedy, and is easily the most broken out of the Archangel crew. I hope she gets a turnaround eventually, perhaps in Destiny. But I now have a feeling Flay will be important going forward.
