EDIT: No longer needed.

Judging from the 2ch thread, the episode looks awesome.

However.

Spoiler for :|:

Like all Gundam series' , Yurin dies.

And Flit is using Titus.

I guess i know what rating i am giving this episode

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

This episode looks intense going from the pictures. Can't wait to see it.

[solidvanz]

3 words, BEST EPISODE EVER!

Love to see Decile showing his trolling face against Flit and Flit had to fight in the handicap battle with Zedas and Farsha(?). Kinda surprised to see Yurin's MS get stabbed from behind by Decile which only enraged Flit to show off his true ability with Sparrow Form (Slice and Dice Exia Style FTW!). Not to forget, Titus Form showing his awesome moment by crushing UE's MS and holding the locking door like the boss!

Next week, AGE-1 VS Big Zam wannabe with Flit in the depressed mode. Who will survived?

Episode.

[FLCL]

Spoiler:

Quebeley

[bio9205]

Wow. Not a bad ep, though Yurin dying was totally expected... Seems this confirms Desil will return in the second arc in the Zedas R, eh?

[Sciel]

Just watched it.

Everything about this episode was 10/10 material.
Would like to add that Flit was pretty much badass when in his rage mode. He pretty much did the Trans-Am exia omnislash on Desil .

I'm probably going to get a lot of heat for this but i'll have to give this particular episode (regardless of the pure awesomeness of it) the lowest rating possible simply because i did not like the direction the plot went. But hey, opinions are opinions right?

[Meltyred]

I have never hated a 3-4 year old this much.
Decil is like the biggest douche ever.
Even more than Shinji Matou from F/SN.
and wow...
I feel like I lost my reason to watch this show anymore...

Spoiler for Episode 14:

Titus blew up so fast again, ahahahaha.

[LightningZERO]

AGE looks absolutely badass with glowing green eyes of doom

[Realist_Classic]

Intense, intense episode. That is all.

[casval cehack]

So passes Yurin, (girl)friend of Flit. Given the oppurtunity, the Level5 writers failed to grab it. Atleast the farewell scene was great with Memorial Song by Kokia in the background.

I do hope there's more airtime for the gravity designed Defurse unlike the Falscia (minutes?) and Titus (seconds?). From the preview, Flit (now down to AGE-1N) will apparently spare the pilot again; luck is on Desil and Geera's side, even how nasty they are. Strange though that the entire bridge crew IS the main landing party on Ambat.

The battle is still ongoing outside the station (they do lost a ship). Will the EFF's chocolate commander make it in time (with Genoace Customs perhaps) for the final episode? Who will join Yurin next episode (Woolf had a close one and Largan seems beat)?

[Illsteir]

Spoiler for You better check you pants later for shit stains.:

[KaiDamien]

Strange even though it has been episodes since the attack on Ambat, i can't seem to get over the fact that Diva & co are capable of taking down many of the UE with ease. Though i know that the story did focus on research and upgrading Diva & co. But somehow i can't seem to get over the fact that just because of new weapons many UE are falling; it seems the UE seems to have 'leveled down'.

And for some strange reason, i have this unexplainable hatred for Flit(maybe he is too X-Rounded to my liking, i dunno) and i want Diva to fail real bad. As expected, Yurin died. This seems to fuel my fanboy hatred for Emily >.>

Maybe a lot of those UE pilots are not that great in the first place and were banking that the Federation and others have no real weapons that could damage their suits.

Didn't like Yurin's mobile suit, it looked too organic and was in pink!?! Looked like it was riding a lotus flower, with their fruit being funnels.
Looks like Desil will be back, being a pain, in Asem's arc. At least he will probably ditch his space mittens.

[MakubeX2]

Nobody mentioned anything about this Episode taking cue from episode 36 of Zeta Gundam ?

[brightman]

Predictable, but very well executed episode... Best ep in the series by far. This is evidently the character growth moment for Flit, and it seems like he's taking a Shinn-like shift towards a darker and more vengeful persona now that he doesn't see himself as a savior anymore.

Hope next ep will reveal a bit about the UE and their motives.

That would be the closest parallel to this.

Thankfully he doesn't have half a season to turn into a terrible character.
And Flit has become awesome incarnate.
Super Titus CHARGE! (someone should make a gif of that, and the omnispallow)
And then next episode, Amuro vs Doz- wait no I mean Flit vs Geera Zoi.
So who thinks it will have a beam defense system?
Cliche it may be, but it is good.

Shinn was pretty awesome when he defeated Kira too, but we'll have to see how Flit's character evolves from hereon out. He was been all about being a hero and a savior, but I think his idealism will probably dry up now, and that means a complete character shift since that was a big part of his personality.
