When this episode started off with Kinue's death, I had such bad feeling that this is not going to be a very fun episode to enjoy.
Unfortunately, I was right!
GN-Xs from Union and AEU (they are called UN Forces now) moves to space to challenge Ptolemaios, while Alenjadro Corner and Ribbons Almack continue their mysterious plot in Veda, the central processing unit of the Celestial Beings. At the same time, the GN-X team from HRL attacks Team Trinity's base in Africa, and suffered the lost of one GN-X. The four Gundams survived the attack from the GN-Xs, even with the a grave period of time when the Gundams' system is shut downed by
This episode is still awesome as the rest, as we get to see the combined High Mega Launcher of Team Trinity and the deployment of GN Arms, but I suppose everyone should be anticipating something bad to happen to the Meisters just as the title of the episode implied. The Gundams were too 'impressive' in the earlier episodes, and I suppose the script writers decide to raise the stake (a lot) for them. Then again, it's still painful to see the good guys in such deep troubles, ^^; especially for Lockon, my favorite character among the four.
And, poor Saji... ...
Another four episodes to go before we reach the conclusion of Season One, and already it looks like the final battle. I wonder what's going to happen next...
Other interesting points:
- Setsuna's dream
- Laguna Harvey assassinated
- 19 GN-Xs
- Saji's sad family background
- Alejandro's evil intention
- Patrick strikes (for real)
