With this episode I can safely say that we’re in for an awesome first season finale. The loss of Lockon is still affecting the Ptolemaeus crew and the meisters. We see Setsuna finds out through Haro that Ali was the one who killed Lockon. Feldt and Setsuna visit Dynames to leave a letter and Haro in the suit. I’m still worried that Tieria seems distracted by Lockon’s death and may make fatal mistakes in the missions to come

Alejandro finally makes his move to crush the meisters. He brings out his gold mobile armor that is full of GN Tau Drives. The main cannon on this mobile armor has some serious distance. It is able to do some massive damage to the Ptolemaeus. Kyrios also gets caught in the blast destroying half of it.

Hallelujah shows up in a rather stealthy manner destroying a GN-X unit right in front of Soma. After the giant mobile amor’s beam destroys half of Kyrios, Hal and Al take out a decent amount of suits. It’s almost laughable that the GN-X pilots had a harder time with half an enemy suit rather than a whole one. Tieria ends up in a simmilar situation. Nadleeh gets severely damaged but is still able to go on.

After the Ptolemaeus’s bridge gets destroyed by a GN-X unit, we see that Lichty and Christina are floating in the leftover debris. Christina is able to express her feelings to Lichty as he is dying. I would have loved to know more info about Lichty as to how he became a cyborg. We just know that he’s quiet and his parents worked on the space elevator. The camera angle makes you think Christina was unharmed. However, a few seconds later we see a sharp piece of debri lodged into her back. Truly this was a touching scene and it will be sad to see them gone.

Alejandro’s shield seems to be almost unbreakable. Setsuna and the GN-Arms can’t really do much to it at the moment. We’ll have to see what happens next episode. I’m really excited to blog the final episode of season one already. I just don’t want to wait 6 more months…
