Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans S2TEKKADAN is MURDERERS, HAIL GHALLARJORN

Fair enough.
What I could also see happening is Chocolate man actually exposing Iok's scheme as a catalyst to overthrow the big wigs of Gjallarhorn.
Speaking of which, haven't seen Gaelio in a while. Must be still plotting away.
Here's how I see the situation with Iok playing out:
There's an inquest or a court-martial over the destruction of that Gjallarhorn ship. Julieta testifies about the refusal of the cease-fire and surrender signals, so the Seven Stars determine that Iok's recklessness was at fault for the loss of the ship and her crew and strip him of all formal command in the Arianhrod Fleet.
Iok confronts Julieta angrily, but she says she was just being honest, and that Rustal told her to anyway. Shocked, Iok realizes this is the outcome Rustal wanted from the beginning of the proceedings, and loses all faith in him.
Iok gathers what men remain personally loyal to him to launch one last revenge missions against Tekkadan. The sudden ferocity of the attack makes it initially effective, but inevitably Iok's forces are defeated and he flees in a badly-damaged mobile suit, probably injured too.
While on the run from Tekkadan, Iok suddenly encounters Julieta in her mobile suit, and gratefully thanks her for reinforcing him. Julieta says he misunderstands, she's there under Rustal's orders, and executes him.

Will we ever see Orga rides his "unicorn" Shiden?
Yeah, fuck him. Hope he dies a slow and miserable death.

I also like that Julietta is trying too to do the Vidar "shared name with your suit as a sign of commitment" thing

Iok is going to go the way of Ein and become a mobile suit to avenge his nakama before the end of the series.

Someone pointed out that those poles sticking out of the ground here are Dainsleif shells.

I wonder if all bets are off now that Gjallahorn have used illegal weapons. Dainsleifs for everybody.
I think the Calamity War flauros shot dainsleif rounds? i wonder what other forbidden weapons will get dug up before the season's end.
We must remember how much pain and suffering this poor man had to go through, watching his men give their lives and die before his eyes.
What a tragic soul.
All those burdens left taking its toll.
For Justice he fights, through all of Ghallarjorn's might.
Cleansing this world of it's blight, as Tekkadan faces their last rites.
May we immortalize Iok Kujan for being the true hero this world needs.

ANOTHER WHO UNDERSTANDS LORD IOK'S GLORY
Just think how this show could have ended up without him!? BE ashamed of your words and deeds haters!!!
IOK HAS A HIGHER IMPORTANT CHARACTER KILL COUNT THAN EIN!!!
We need Tomino back in this bitch.
I say, shoot them out into space ala Victory Gundam.

Fuck this show. Even space Gutz can't be happy.
lol that scene setup was so obvious that I'm surprised I didn't see it coming. I mean, I figured SOMETHING was going to happen, but I didn't expect it like that. Also we only got Lafter backstory 41 episodes in and just
that's some pretty bad storytelling.
Also is Atra the ONLY one responsible for the kitchen, doing the laundry, etc? That's kinda fucked up.
before she died,

"I will never betray you."
Hahahaha, okay McGillis. This carries as much weight as when Char said it.

Fuck, it's been a while since I've screamed at my screen. I saw it coming, but I tried to convince myself she was safe...
Why?!
So much this. They need to be killed up close and personal. No crushing their cockpit nonsense.
Bad story telling how? She literally opened up to another man that wasn't Naze. Why wouldn't she talk about her past? Not only that she just lost two people she cared about. What does it matter what episode it was?

Man even Guts gets to keep his woman despite everything... this guy god damn...
I honestly thought Azee was going to be attacked off-screen when she left. Lafter suddenly getting shot through the store had me shout "No!"... Haven't done that in a while.
... DAMMIT, I can't believe they killed her off >_<
Atra's scenes are too priceless.

While Hush kind of has become a bit of a non-character, it's moments like these that make me appreciate his addition to the cast (compared to early concerns regarding him).
Atra's scenes are too priceless.
To be fair, it's getting kinda old to sit through "oy, here's my back story-and now I'm dead, BLAARGH~"
The Turbines should've been fleshed out more beforehand rather than waiting for the very last minute for the writers to try and squeeze every emotional trick in the book.
You better hope Azee doesn't spring her backstory on us next episode.

Meanwhile Atra's trying to comprehend some Lupus Rex action...
People die when they are killed.
Man I really need to catch up seems things are taking a turn.
S1 should have done that, but it was too busy with Kudelia and bad politics.
This S2 feels like I'm watching a sequel to a completely different show, at times.
