Akatsuki..... wtf, it slices it dices, it even knows the meaning of life. GIVE ME ONE!!!!!
There's no way they haven't been tweaking and upgrading Uzumi's 'Legacy' every day since it was rolled of the assembly line.

More fun crazyness. No one knew about fimg Messiah!?!?!?! it's as big as Yachin Due...and we all know the moon has to have satillites in orbit for communication at least, so how do you hide something that big?

Besides that, GENESIS????? How could Gil have blatently broken the treaty without the council knowing about it in addition to building the amazing vanishing space station?

Oh and stop me if you've heard this one "all traces of the old Republic have been wiped away...fear will keep the local governments in line, fear of this battle station..." Gil is the Emperor, Shin is Anakin, Rey is Dooku, but not dead. Look at the end of the episode where Djibril died, Gil is in the same room as the Emperor was in RotJ, they just redecorated in white and put in a desk. This show has become a rip off of anything and everything that's ever been popular.

BUT, this episode had a shitstorm of combat, always good, though if you look close enough i'm sure the suits docked in the METEOR's are Freedom-10 and Justice-09, Recycle, Reduce, Reuse! The Team Fukada Motto. And lets pretend theres no such thing as a plot device...HALF of the entire ZAFT moon fleet, I xounted about 35-38 ships in the scene @ 7min 50sec in the Hiro sub, plus the Minerva and the carrier, and they hit the Arch maybe twice with missiles...they could have won by just saturating the area with constant fire (Ignoring God-suki for a moment). At least make the fight look hard for the good guys, or even fair for the bad guys.

Next episode is going to be a flashy pile of non-sensical crap, I might just watch the RAW and spare myself the terrible ending dialouge that is sure to follow.
