Episode Title:
McGillis Fareed.
Episode Description:
Following Orga's death, Mikazuki rallies the rest of Tekkadan around Orga's orders to live until the end. As Gjallarhorn begins their assault on the base, McGillis battles the Arianrhod fleet by himself before Gaelio intervenes, pushing his Alaya-Vijnana Type Ein to its limit to match McGillis. The ground battle turns against Tekkedan as Hush is killed, while the heavily-damaged Gundam Kimaris Vidar manages to cripple the Gundam Bael and seriously wound McGillis as the two crash into Rustal's ship. Abandoning the Bael, McGillis tries to reach Rustal on the bridge but is cut off and shot by Gaelio, who's mask blunts McGillis' own gunshot. Confronting the dying McGillis, Gaelio learns the reason McGillis betrayed him and Carta was because the trio's friendship caused his drive for power to waver, while his ambitions of reforming Gjallarhorn were because he promised to make Almiria happy. Conflicted, Gaelio breaks down and tearfully bids McGillis farewell as the latter succumbs to his wounds. As Tekkadan struggles to repel the Gjallarhorn forces, Rustal notes McGillis' story will be remembered as a tragic consequence of those thirsting for power and sends Julieta to finish Tekkadan off.
