And while Arba Lindt might be a vile human, but at least he is doing his job and not acting like someone with an over inflated ego like Mr. Permit.

Finally someone gets it.

I don't see any rules stating we're not allowed to talk about it. I could just say people please stop talking about Soma and Allelujah.

Except that the person in the third pod is Revive.

Alle should share his "experience" to Saji because I strongly suspect that Saji and Louise will be the next couple alone in the island......

It's good to see Papa Bear let them go, but he could have destoryed Arios and that custom a-head, it would be a major blow to CB, he would somehow "revenge" the loss of his comrades, and it will be easier to convince A-law that Soma was killed in the battle....

Would this episode be the last time we see Soma's custom a-head because Alle promised not to get Soma involved in battle anymore? I don't think Bxxdai would allow this to happen because they want to sell model XD

So I'm confused, are people cool with or upset that the 00 Gundam and Setsuna were essentially defeated in this episode by a non-Gundam mobile suit (even though it was Gundam class). I remember back during the first season when people were having their jitters about invincible Gundams because of what we went through in Seed Destiny, but it seems now that some people are upset because a Gundam was bested in battle by an opponent who won through skill and cunning instead of outright superior machinery. I for one welcome the continued return to U.C style rules of combat instead of the Gundam Seed theory (i.e Gundam Piloted by Kira>>>>>>>>Gundam piloted by sub character>>Gundam piloted by grunt>Mobile suit piloted by sub character>Mobile suit piloted by grunt) so I don't know what to say about all of this.

"And thus an new plan was hatched. From that day on CB used its advanced technology to strand every bickering set of people on an island and/or remote beach. Although it did not always result in succes (the famous Ali-Mr. Biggles disaster comes to mind), in the end world peace was achieved. Although CB claims credit for this marvel of peacebuilding: the Innovators were truly the brains behind the plan. Why else did they came in pairs? They were the first to discover the magic of being stranded in couples."

I can already see the history books

EDIT: I am all for Gundams getting their ass handed to them by better pilots in normal Suits

Its an unpleasable fanbase type thing

One part of the fanbase wants to see the hero kill 10 ace pilots without breaking a sweat while posing and screaming about how awesome he is

While the other part wants a gritty hard foiught battle that goes back and forth.

Anyone whose been to the Code Geass forum knows where I stand on this, get rid of the uber mechas from Gundam Seed, and Code Geass and return the series to its Real Robots roots.

I want battles decided by skill not who has the best toys.

Great for a second I thought that could have been someone beside Tieria, thank you because you just have ruined my path to regaining my sanity .

[bladeofdarkness]

i actually liked setsuna losing the fight
it only happened becouse of the gundams being hax
so him losing the fight due to him trying to trigger his super hax mode is perfectly fair (grahm is after all as good as, if not better, a pilot)

[sgogeta4]

I don't see why people have a problem with Bushido (and Ali) being a better pilot than Setsuna. They're older and more experienced. Setsuna has a better Gundam, which lessens the difference between them, making battles a lot more interesting.

I'd dare say even in Gundam Wing, Miliardo is a better pilot than Heero. :P

THEY MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE!!!!

Personally I prefer it, if the hero quickly defeats all his enemies, like this. I don't care, if he does it by skill (like Kira), or by superior technology (like the Meisters in S1). Just do it quick to move back to the story.

Frankly, its kind of hard to tell me that somehow one character is just so much better than the rest of the cast that he can defeat 20 of them without blinking an eye.

Either you have a problem where the jump in technology is too unrealistic, and your opponents look like morons (Gundam Seed, and Gundam Seed Desitny where infamous for this) , or your character is a Mary Sue who needs to be killed because his ruining the action, either way the series frankly becomes boring.

Also why the hell are you watching mecha if you don't like mecha?

Good episode, feels good to see aleluya and mary together.
Now only Tiera doesn't have a gf out of the gundam pilot, maybe the girl version of him will fall in love with him? Rofl would love to see that.

Saji and Louise can just die and be the tragic couple for all i care

That would either be twin-cest, or total narcissism.

[5_of_Spades]

Why do I have the feeling that Marie will die pretty soon? Going by the broken glass case shot in the ending and the emo Alle in the opening?

[indr0008]

[Kinku]

what sumeragi was jealous of Allexmarie?
