----------------------------------------
I got some decent laughs from this episode :p

I like Nil's confidence in this episode although I'm still rooting for Sei and Reiji. The field is awesome this episode. I really liked that along with the OST. I personally admit that Nil is pretty strong like he says himself. Overall, good episode. Imo, both competitors put up a fantastic show and great match.

Maybe next time Nil ;.;

Awesome Virtue at the start, though the pilot was pretty fanatic about Tieria by wearing the helmet.

Finally the fight i've been waiting for with my favourite gunpla in the series. The fight was alright, just dislike the 1 minute pause in the middle. I wanted to see who could win with no arms.

Hope next weeks episode will finally reveal the secret of the invisible funnel from Aila

Great episode :D

Loved the battle. The intensity was pretty awesome. Loved the KO uppercut. That was EPIC :D

Lol'd at Nils faces whenever Caroline was saying she's his gf or cheering him? He's actually a pretty hilarious guy XD He doesn't like losing at all too with how he went up to Reiji and Sei telling them he won't lose nxt time completely forgetting about the particles XD

The secretary is one big bitch!! Stopping the battle in the middle of that suspense >.<!! Damn! Nice seeing her getting owned after they won. Her face was lol XD

Seems nxt ep is the obligatory "Ex-opponent" visit to Reiji and Sei's room XD Seeing Nils there hehe.

Aila's face after Reiji won was sad :(...Seems like she really didn't want to fight Reiji. Nxt ep seems epic with Fellini vs Aila >.< AWESOME! And seems they'll find out who she truly is. I wonder how much drama there will be?

Is this series really only gonna be 25 eps??? T^T No announcements for a S2?

They really didn't think this battle out. The last episode battle was 10 times better than this punch fest. I knew build strike was stupid gundam. It really does hold the series back from having good fights, Too many stupid Gimmicks.

=( Really didn't enjoy this episode.

A great brawl. Lots of DYNAMIC angles. Good to see Reiji's gunpla skills put to work.

Suddenly, an oh-so-familiar Virtue pilot! That, with the bar filled with certain flag fighters and tacticians, makes this quite the 00 peppered episode. Poor Aila, so lonesome.

The afro-american ninja warrior dueling on a rooftop reminds me of that one Animatrix short.

This episode was decent. I like how this battle focused on melee combat. The pause in the middle of the battle was very unnecessary as it didn't add anything at all.

It was good, but I don't think it was as thought out as the fenice Gundam fight or meiji vs brothers fight. It seemed really short and like, they got rid of the swords fight off the bat.

I mean the punching wasn't bad...but I would have liked to see more destruction in this one considering how intense it was. It should have been a nearly destroyed build strike with a final punch to obliterate Astray. Or maybe some uber sword attack (since sengoku's swords are gone).

I know that Nils wouldn't win. But it's sad. He was my favorite character and Gundam. Oh well.

Silly, Iori. That type of logic is the reason why your dad's not at home. Seriously, Rinko should switch for Ramba Ral already.

Nice ep. The pause in the middle wasn't really used to significant extend though. That said, Nils grew on me during this episode as did his "relationship" with Caro.

Well the way the show was progressing I figured that it was only going to be 25 eps although I was hoping it would be 50 like most gundam series.

This episode was awesome. I just wish the fighting was a little longer. Like at the beginning of the battle, since their beam weapons are useless against Nils they could have used the knife, the one that is on every gundam's thigh, with the RG system to fight against Nils katanas. We could have had a sweet sword standoff then both sides katanas/knife breaks then they go hand to hand.

Dang, one of the best episodes as of late in my opinion! As always, they spend the first half with information to continue the story and we learn Nil's secret to his katanas and we see how the PPSE acts to deal with Reiji.

Then, WE GET TO THE FIGHT! Dang, it was freaking intense! Blow after blow, it was some crazy sh*t. But, that 1 minute break, it helped with how they were going with the fight, but it could have been played out better.

For instance, Sei and Reiji after checking that beams were useless, decide to use the RG system and take off the Star Package, but Nils counters this with katana, nearly cutting off the Build Strike's arm that was saved by Reiji. So, they then begin a fist-fight/retreat until they think of a new plan. Soon, Nils makes a accidental opening when he starts to get a bit angry over them dodging. They take this chance to use the already set-up Star Package to distract Nils by forcing him to block it. And they take this chance to knock down the Astray while he isn't focused. Nils loses one of his katanas and the Star Build Strike picks it up and we got a sword fight! They fight and destroy nearly the whole level until they end up destroying each others swords. Nils then pulls out his open fist thing, but without the katanas he can't counter the RG system which leads to an all out fist-fight. But using the Star Package again, they shoot Nils's arms off but not before he cuts off the Build Strike's, but the chairwoman stops the fight and we get that same last bit of the fight that we saw.

Can't wait for the next episode though! Fellini vs Aila! Though its sad to see Fellini go down(most likely) I want to see Aila's secret go to work and see Fellini figure out the trick like our Virtue at the start of this episode.

A great episode and the battle was a lot better than I thought it would have been.

Glad to know a bit more about the secrets of the Sengoku Astray with the sword features and the 'Particle Fa Jin'. Seems like that timeout gave Sei a chance to modify his Star Build Strike to his advantage. It was a great battle and Nils really is a genius but it was nice to see the way how he admitted that he enjoyed Gunpla. Found it refreshing to see Caroline again as she made me laugh a few times with those moments with Nils.

Next episode is Aila vs Fellini but we all know who is going to win and it seems like Sei and the others will finally know about her. Looking forward to this part.

5/5

This show's score better skyrocket once it ends, the past five episodes have been top notch.

This is the third time I've said this, but this just may be my favorite episode.
Nils really showed alot of promise towards the end, more than we've seen out of his character thus far in this series.

This show has really gotten good over the past 20 episodes, best Gundam series of this century easy.

Riccardo vs Aila next episode, not looking forward to seeing one of the best characters thrashed by one of the worst.
Atleast we get to see more Riccardo.

Silly, Iori. That type of logic is the reason why your dad's not at home. Seriously, Rinko should switch for Ramba Ral already.

Nice ep. The pause in the middle wasn't really used to significant extend though. That said, Nils grew on me during this episode as did his "relationship" with Caro.


Dude. I was thinking the same thing. For that reasoning alone I wanted Sei and Reiji to lose. Nils is trying to change the world and they're arguing over some fucking toys.

...It's also that Nils is totally one of my favorite characters. Which made me sad when he lost, AND got stuck with the lamest girl in the series. Everyone else's girlfriend/wife is awesome: Aila, China, Rinko, even the girl Mao likes (though I don't see it happening...it could so it counts). Nils gets stuck with the twin-tailed lame girl. Shame.

Your Mikasa profile pic really gets me nerves.

NO wonder why these people on MAL forum were like 'meh' sometimes till they have nothing to say whatever questions that I've been raised over what has happened in every episode.

Anyway I agree with you at least there is NO gunpla mafia guy from last episode.
