Ok, another one of those episodes that has left me wanting more. Can't wait for the sub.

****************************Episode Spoiler Follows*************************





Anyway on to what happened. Asuran makes his break for it with Meryn and Shinn and Rey launch in persuit. With the two new suits easily having superior speed the quickly gain on Asuran. There's a conversation between Rey and the and Gil where I believe Gil gives Rey the ok to shoot to kill. Destiny and Legend then catch up to the Gouf and Rey opens fire without hesitation. Asuran initially doesn't return fire and concentrates on dodging. The fight continues with a lot of talking, I think that both Asuran and Rey were trying to convince Shinn to side against the other.

Shinn seems to get increasingly confused and angry, then loses it and takes the gouf out. Shinn seems to be upset with everything that has happened and takes a fair amount of prompting from Rey for a while. During the fight everyone back a Gibralter base watches anxiously. As soon as Cagallis former bodyguard (forgotten his name) sees Destiny and Legend leave the area where the Gouf went down he heads out with a small ship.

After this theres quite a bit of talking which I'm not willing to comment on in detail as my Japanese is more than pathetic [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] . Anyway, there's a scene where Shinn encounters Lunamaria and says sorry as he thinks he's killed Meryn. I'm pretty sure that the small ship got to the Gouf wreckage first and salvaged the cockpit as the Zaft forces couldn't find it thus leading everyone to think that both Asuran and Meryn are dead.

At the end of this ep Gil delivers his ultimatum to Heavens Base and we also get to see some of Lacus, the AA pulling into Orb and a cargo plane taking off with Cagallis former bodyguard in command and Asuran and Meryn unconcious in a medical area.

My initial thoughts on a few things in this ep:
Both Destiny and Legend look really sweet in action.
It looks as though Shinn isn't going to go darkside.
Luna and Shinn are definately going to grow closer together.
Talia has some serious reservations about the way things are going.
