Yeah i did'nt notised him ether until this episode..

Athrun comes earlier.. I think right after Shinn (don have time to look it up.. First i thought it was Athrun to but none of the other characters is in the ending twice.. So i guess it's someone else..

Well superb episode.. It's nice Athrun returns to Plant and space (like we did not se that coming).. But what suprised me was the fact that Shinn did not know who Kira was.. But on the other side, noone knew who Athrun really was until Cagalli said his name..
