This episode made Gundam history I’d have to say. The highlight of this episode was Lockon’s death. We see him go out with a bang. We find out that all of the flag fighter pilots are killed besides Graham who hasn’t shown up lately. However, we are shown that Aeolia is in fact dead and cannot live to see the changed world. You’d think he’d keep his body in some better container.

Another interesting fact is that Trans-Am mode only lasts for a short time period and it also decreases the Gundam’s capabilities to fight. Something I didn’t like was that the Zwei was repaired very fast. How did they make more fangs in that amount of time without prior knowledge of the Gundam? Maybe we’re not supposed to think too much on it.

The remaining GN-X units gather and attack the Gundam Meisters. Setsuna hasn’t arrived back yet to help with the fighting sadly. The Zwei, now piloted by Ali is seen within the enemy units and causes Lockon to go out into space to fight.

We see Kyrios finally get a new upgrade, the tail-booster. However, its quickly destroyed during the battle. Soma also messes with Allelujah’s brain waves again. This time though, Hallelujah stops them. Allelujah goes Trans-Am mode putting the much needed smackdown on Soma and Sergei.

Lockon leaves in Dynames determined to take revenge. He uses the GN-Arms to destroy some GN-X units before he heads out to find Ali. He even takes out 2 carrier ships. Lockon totally gets a medal for destroying the most enemies thus far in Gundam 00. He meets the Zwei and is able to cut off its arm. However, a GN-X unit gets in the way and causes Lockon to be vulnerable to the Zwei’s fangs. The Dynames is now totaled and Lockon is still determined to kill Ali. He heads out to a broken cannon of the GN-Arms and hooks his rifle to it. He is able to successfully land a deadly hit on the Throne. However, Ali pulls the trigger at the last second to hit the GN-Arms. I’m surprised that one GN-Arms cannon was able to do that much.

Lockon’s final moments are him saying "Are you satisfied with this kind of world?" … "I hate it." He then points his finger Cowboy Bebop style at the Earth. That had to be the most emotional character death I’ve seen in any anime for a long time. He’ll be remembered throughout the series I’m sure. Now we need to find out if Ali survived that blast or if he in fact did die. Also, what the hell is Nena going to do?
