@darkone45
It's nothing informative, just teasing like what is Eugene saying to Orga as the deputy boss? what will be the conclusion of the fight between McGillis who came to help Isurugi and Gaelio? Mika's expression coupled with Barbie Lupus Rex doesn't make Julietta's chances look good, etc. So yeah, I agree that Julietta is pretty much dead which will be fitting for an episode titled as "For whom". She's fighting for Rustal who basically threw her under the bus and she's still happy about it. Oh well. Since Eugene, of all people, is grabbing Orga, the person he admires the most, by the tie and shouting at him, we gotta prepare for Orga being seriously pathetic, I guess. No wonder, considering how he's been falling to pieces under immense strain for some time now, and it was especially visible in the episode of Tekkadan's revenge on Jasley. He gotta pull himself together, asap, and stop worrying about how right or wrong what he's doing is, he has no such luxury anymore, just charge in and hope they can pull through somehow is all that's left to them anymore. |

I actually have to admire Eugene here, as he was actually probably closer to Shino than anyone else, the two actually being in most of their scenes together. How he must be secretly hurting and yet is strong enough to push it back in order to keep up command even while his own leader is falling apart. Eugene has been constantly in the background this season, but I'm going to give him his props here. He has a strength to him that isn't always obvious. but it's there.

Okay, don't look now, but it seems like episode 47's Preview was leaked early, and indeed Tekkadan somehow retreated from the action.
Pictures of it are below, look at it at your own risk: Spoiler for episode 47 pics:
It is indeed titled Sacrifice. However, we can see that both Rustal and Gaelio still live, so how is this going to end? Nothing of McGillis or his forces, or Julietta....

I'm more interested in what happened? Did McGillis and Isurugi get killed? What will Tekkadan do now? The way that Orga has everyone standing out there, I have to wonder if he's actually going to disband Tekkadan in order to protect everyone since they are on the run from the law. What of Iok, Rustal, Julietta and Gaelio? What about Gjallarhorn? What happened?!

Well I just want Orga to stop being an indecisive sad sack and Mika to stop playing with his food.
Kudelia can give a speech. Rustal and Galieo seem fine. I hope Mika moped up Julietta. Iok I would guess alive seeing as he was last on the flagship and Rustal is hardly grounding Iok and then giving him multiple lectures just so he can send him out to die pointlessly. That is not to say Rustal would never sacrifice Iok but as the defender of the status quo losing more seven stars pointlessly does him zero favors. |

Yeah, Julietta is conspicuously absent. McGillis is still alive though, I'm sure. All the Tekkadan guys gathered for Orga's speech about what to do next... I'm a bit bothered with the pic with Merribit because I don't recognize the background...? Did Tekkadan have chairs with blue backrests?

As to predictions... what if Mars is going to become the last defense line now. Like, Rustal is going to mount an attack on Tekkadan's own planet now to crush them and the traitors of Martian GH branch. Quote:

It's sort of interesting how Eugene and Orga seemed to switch roles right now: Eugene resembles the s1 Orga, with the corresponding confidence, strength and decisiveness (naturally, since he's been diligently and inspiredly imitating Orga for quite some time now), while Orga right now isn't unlike Eugene at the beginning when he panicked, doubted and hesitated (particularly obvious in the very first battle in episodes 1&2). I like it how Eugene finally figured out in his last talk with Shino just what kind of harsh pressure Tekkadan unwittingly put on their leader, that's definite character development right there, only it took him too long. If he'd stopped being just another obedient yesman earlier, it would've been much easier on Orga. Now I'm afraid Eugene will be showing his growth and newfound resolve by dying somewhere along the line... Well, in any case, until Orga can pull himself together, I'm praying he stays away from his Shiden for the foreseeable future, because with his current mentality, going into the field is pretty much the death sentence. |

It looks like McGillis is the one who will be sacrificing himself. For his cause, for Tekkadan, both? We'll have to see.

There would be a constitutional crisis where the Seven Stars would be seen to be publically picking and choosing which one of their laws want to apply and which one doesn't. Allying with McGillis means allying with the very concept that gave them power in the first place - the Gjallahorn constitution. To deny or question the Bael clause is to also deny the other clauses as well and made more people think on whether the Gjallahorn clauses as they are now is even appropriate, a thinking that has already becoming more widespread due to Season 1. More people and those from the lower levels will start seeing the hypocracy of the Seven Stars. Not everybody will obey but there will likely be more that would have Obie's than they did in the current situation, where many stayed neutral despite McGillis' revealed crimes. This as McGillis said would help in the battle against Arionhod. Standing with McGillis would have meant standing with the current system legally and symbolically even if it won't be the case practically due to his more liberal political leanings. McGillis assassination attempts gave them enough reason to not support him in the battle even if he is legally the leader, allowing them to be more reasonable in the eyes of everybody else aside from "I don't want to lose my current powers" reasons. McGillis problem is really that a supposedly assassinated Gaelio came back to life and revealed his murder attempt and then added some stuff like Carta onto it. A quick small coup in the capital to attempt an Excalibur is one thing, an assassination attempt of a future house head is something else. And Gaelio of course added Carta and Iznario in there as well, despite the former dying by literally doing what she wanted to do anyways, no special traps needed. Moral of the story folks, radio silence is golden. So is tripple tapping. Especially if you're going to leave a billion dollar military machine with voice and video recorders mostly intact.

Some one also noted that neither Atra nor Delma are in the PV either. Atra could be in the back, but I am worried that Delma is not in the group shot with the rest of his usual hangout group.

McGillis and his faction are going to make some sacrifices too, whatever happened, his plan ultimately failed at least as it is. Either Rustal has arrested him, Gaelio killed him, or he sacrificed himself. We see no trace of him in the PV, so I have to think he hasn't been arrested. So, either he was killed (or faked his death), we'll have to see what sacrifice he makes. Some are thinking that he perhaps knows that he failed and so will leave his hopes and wishes with Mika, who is so like his hero. With this also, I have to think Rustal is going to continue to be our final villain, along with wherever Iok got to and whether Julietta is alive or not. Gaelio on the other hand is up in the air. It all depends on how long he decides he wants to stay with Rustal after this.

Atra has no business being anywhere where it's not a kitchen or Mika's side, so I'm sure she's OK, especially with the plot armor of Mika's child bearer, maybe simply crying on Kudelia's shoulder again somewhere.
My money was on Derma as an obligatory victim among ex-Human Debris since Aston. Especially with him saying something along the lines that Rodis are like coffins to Human Debris. Though I doubt his death will have sufficient impact right after Shino's epic and fruitless one. Also, I wonder if Isurugi is OK or not. As to McGillis entrusting his wishes with Mika, well, Mika doesn't care about those wishes any. We don't know nearly enough about Agnika, but he probably believed and fought for the noble cause of saving humanity. Mika has no such noble causes. He fights solely for Orga and Orga's dream. Sometimes also for those he (and Orga) considers comrades in between fighting for Orga. That's it. He's not trying to save anyone and isn't going to suddenly start. So McGillis' wishes would be very misplaced if left with Mika, that's why I don't think it will be the case. |

But in all seriousness though, I think she should be out there with the other members during the speech. More than even Kudelia, she's an official member of Tekkadan along with Merribit. Their futures are at stake here too. Quote:

I actually got a feeling that McGillis might sacrifice himself back when he was talking to Amiria. Just something in his words sounded like a goodbye.

Maybe she is, just somewhere by Mika's side and we simply weren't shown that. Quote:
Well, all in all, I think we all can agree that the final battle wasn't exactly final at all. Btw, since the trip from Earth to Mars is at least 2-3 weeks, and all the Tekkadan members were on their sole surviving ship all the time, why wait till they get to Mars to have crucial leader meetings? p.s. Based on the additional pics from twitter, Derma really might be a goner. |

I wonder if Orga didn't just take the "smart" option Rustal talked about and surrendered. Seems too late for them to retreat (something he seriously considered despite the fact it'd be betraying McGillis). Guy is at his wits end. I'm also not so sure Rustal would just shoot them down if they did. Tekkadan are still somewhat celebrated, so he mighy want to avoid the bad press of slaughtering children.
Anyway, don't think I'm going to put myself through a crappy stream today. |

No surrender, but they do retreat back to Mars. Rustal and his forces follow and Rustal already plans ahead by buying out the commander of the Gjallarhorn forces on Mars.
It looks like Mars shall be their last stand, for both McGillis and Tekkadan.
