Yeah, Legilis was completely wasted. Considering how powerful it was in the fight against Sid this battle looked like a bad joke.
But whatever. Zeheart having mental breakdown probably was the only way for Asemu to defeat him with any semblance of realism. Still better the watching another "Omg he's so powerful I can't read him he isn't supposed to be x-rounder!" crap. |

Legilis was bound to be destroyed anyway. Zeheart is blinded by rage, and Asemu's word has gotten into his mind during the battle, that's why the DH had the chance to tear it up. It already shown all its skill on the past episodes so there's no point for it to be flashy on this episode.
Diva, Grodek and Millais will be proud of you. You've done a big part in this story. Obright, Woolf will also be proud of you. Defeating non-grunt units F-yeah! Also, good to see the 3 Gundams/Asunos escaping during the firing of the Digmazenon canon. 10/10 epsiode for me.

So.....so what's the point? Obviously they aren't going for Genocide end, but as far as I'm concerned peace will be empty, because all the named Vegans are dead except the one guy who's been frozen hasn't spoken and I could care less about. So the faceless masses survived. Who cares? You aren't supposed to care about them.
God damn it. Destiny dropped the ball, Geass dropped the ball, 00 dropped the ball, and Age dropped the ball. Can they just not do mecha right anymore? |

Geass - Lelouch paid the price for what he did to people and so do Suzaku (granted the others got off but hey). In the end they achieved what they both set out to do since eps 1 00 - Aside from the movie they ended up readying humanity for the incoming alien invasion which they set out to do. In any case I'd say they were paced out alright. AGE....they're just throwing things all over the place. I mean the women are treated very poorly and we get characters that serve absolutely no purpose to the plot....on that matter what was the whole point of Zanald's character or even Leglis? Heck what was the point of some of the Vagan MS to begin with? |

However, 00 was actually pretty good. Setsuna vs Alejandro, Hal/Al vs Sergei and Soma, and then Setsuna vs Graham were all pretty damn good fights. Then S2 had it's ups and downs, Lyle vs Ali was total shit, but Lyle vs Revive, and Setsuna vs Ribbons were damn good. Zeheart's death could have been much much better. What we got is rather lame and not very effective at making an emotional impact.

Fram just piloted the cursed unit. That thing didn't exactly do much for Yurin. Though in the end I wonder what was the point of giving her that similar unit? Figured they might play on Flit's past a bit, but he was just kind of 'there' this episode.
Zeheart vs. Asemu really was a 'wait what?' kind of fight. It was over before I knew what was going on. Though suppose it fits symbolically. Asemu is still solid on his path of fighting for those he cares about while Zeheart was an emotional and mental mess. They really did flip positions with one being solid in his beliefs and the other not so much. Of course in the end Asemu couldn't save his friend's life, but at least by the end he was back to himself. The flashback at the end along with his final words I felt was well done. Even though so much had happened that friendship was still there. Zeheart at least made sure to keep Asemu back at the very end. Rough day for Fram. Unfortunately it wasn't a shock how she went out. Zeheart could gather so much affection and loyalty, but in the end no one was able to step up to him and say "you're going too far." At least Woolf can look down at Obright and Asemu with pride. Both pulled off some great stuff especially Obright. Proof that skill and effort can overcome an x-rounder when it counts.

tbh i wished obright have lived. so instead of him fighting fram right away, he could of hop on the darkhound express and let fram chase him and gundams. and then the big lazor beam comes in to finish fram off. this would of make more sense though, yet kind of funny in a bad way.
well at least hes not deadweight :P |

The only guy he'll probably save is frozen dude, who he doesn't know, and the faceless Vegan masses who he also doesn't know. Meanwhile Fram Girard and Deen, the people he actually tried to understand and save all died. When you think about it all 3 don't really get a happy ending. Flit lost lots of people and spent most of his life seething in hatred, no matter what he chooses to do next ep. Asemu missed out entirely on his sons childhood, and couldn't save his buddy. And Kio couldn't save anyone he tried to connect to. Again, this is why a so called happy peaceful ending comes off as insincere when most of the characters died anyway. |

LOL WTF at the rushing this episode.
* Zeheart has gone from a guy who at the very least cares about his own people to raging lunatic who fires on his own fleet. And just a few moments before, he was wondering what the heck he was doing. * Zanald knew something was up and had plenty of time to get out of the way. He didn't. * Obright outshines all three Asunos and kills both Leil and Fram on his first try. * Zeheart was raging so hard that he can't even pilot Legilis properly, using none of its hax abilities, and it gets ripped apart in the shortest, most anticlimactic, and most pathetic boss fight ever. I suppose at least Dark Hound finally gets to shine, but considering that Zeheart was piloting like an idiot, it's not really that impressive. * Next episode: oh joy, the final boss is a guy who's spent all the time up to now asleep in a tube. It's finally time for AGE-FX to accomplish something after taking down one Danazine this episode.

It's especially disapointing compared to the game, in which Asemu sends Kio and Flit on ahead (creating drama because he's gonna take on the strongest enemy unit with arguably the weakest Gundam) and he and Zeheart have a climactic duel with Asemu's gen 2 theme playing in the background.
Here he just chops him up without dramatic fanfare. And there's no tension because Flit and Kio are standing right there in case things go south. If anything it makes Zeheart look even stupider for attacking all 3 Gundam's in a blind rage. |

Kind of similar to that flashback to the 'fight' with SID. Got the result of who won and lost, but that's about it.
