They raised way too many death flags for Biscuit to overcome...

blakstealth · 2016-02-28, 08:58

No matter how obvious his death was coming, it still hurts. ;_;

LoweGear · 2016-02-28, 09:13

Orphans no Namida playing as Biscuit's life fades away.... why do you do this to us IBO? Why?

At the least, this episode has one of the funnier moments in MS battles:

"I can shoot him right?"

"Of course."

Faux Mecha · 2016-02-28, 09:38

i am still not sure mixing comedy & tragic drama in one episode is a good idea, are we supposed to laugh or to cry?

Skaddix · 2016-02-28, 09:43

Well the comedy was separate from the tragedy...also 3rd Appearance of Berserk Mika when he thought Orga died.

Yeah Super Obvious Death Flags. I guess they are capturing Issue alive then.

HighGuard · 2016-02-28, 10:34

Well, I cried there. Great job with orphans blasting during that last moment. I had hope for a minute that he would live despite all the death flags, but sadly no.

bones · 2016-02-28, 10:59

This was a really stupid episode, the two smartest guys in Tekkadan suddenly suffer brain damage and decide to show up in the battlefield for no good reason. They were doing ok at first by staying hidden and giving commands and then they decide to come out into open why exactly. Biscuit's death was just so stupid I can't even feel any sympathy whatsover

Albel VII · 2016-02-28, 11:04

I've kinda expected him to die sooner or later, but the direction still made the scene powerful and sad. Not bad overall, however, I think Orga and Biscuit was a bit too close to the battle zone this time. I mean, closer than usual. It feels like the only real reason the director placed them so close is because he had to kill Biscuit here somehow, and couldn't really come up with a better idea. Not a big issue, but still feels weird a little.

By the way, I've been wondering a bit, couldn't Orga and the others. encrypt (this might not be right word but whatever) their communication channels somehow? It just seems weird the enemy can seemingly hear them all the time.

dienrachen · 2016-02-28, 11:42

Well, had Orga/Biscuit not moved closer to the battle, they couldn't have saved Shino... from their own trap.

I think Orga is just too used being part of the battle. There's a reason generals are usually found in the back of an army, not leading in the front row. You're no Erwin Rommel yet, Orga-kun.

EDIT: Also, love Mika's disdain at the katana.

Yeah, a fragile blade weapon is no good for someone not trained at swordplay. Wish more animes took notice of that...

Anh_Minh · 2016-02-28, 11:44

Had they used proper encryption, it wouldn't have been such a problem.

dienrachen · 2016-02-28, 11:51

How do you do encryption when half your machines are literally the things you've scrapped from the last battle, though? I'm surprised they can maintain proper radio contact with each other, considering contemporary armies feel lucky if their groundpounders can get into touch with their own airforce... and those guys get to set their own standards/equipment. :/

wuhugm · 2016-02-28, 12:01

Ee!? Biscuit is dead?

So Cookie and Cracker can become Mika's harem?

Pen3 · 2016-02-28, 12:12

Well with fat ass Biscuit dead, they at least have more food for everyone now.

Dop · 2016-02-28, 13:21

Well, it was pretty much telegraphed that either Orga or Biscuit were for it this episode.
Switching the ED back was an inspired move. Well played.

I did love Akihiko shooting the guys while they were still posing.

Wandering Soul · 2016-02-28, 13:41

If Biscuit remembering his sisters as his life slips away wasn't tragic enough, the first ED playing in the background twists the knife. I wonder why he and Orga were even that close to the fight though.

Despite it being a tragic episode, it still had a funny exchange on it.

"I'm allowed to shoot, right?"

"Of course"

Priceless.

Ryuga · 2016-02-28, 14:00

Biscuit's dead? If so, I guess that's the way......the cookie crumbles. BUT, he's in a healing pod in the next ep preview though, so....fingers crossed?

That's Ein. Only Biscuit's hat was in the preview, and it was placed on a bodybag, so...

ReddyRedWolf · 2016-02-28, 14:03

Know what it would be interesting if McGillis meets Carta on Earth. Would she recognize him under the mask? How does she feel her crush going against Gjallarhorn?

Would McGillis manipulate her if given the opportunity?

Pen3 · 2016-02-28, 14:03

With the hand holding this episode i think Merribit will try to comfort Orga and perhaps starts something, hopefully.

Oh......well, that sucks lol. Well, I'm pretty sure Mika's gonna merk Carta pretty hard next episode, that's the only saving grace.
